These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 135: Irregular

After getting what he wanted, Mu Gong just left in a hurry.

He said that he would contact me in the future if he had something for me before heading off.

He didn’t even leave a way for me to contact him or for him to contact me…

So there was a bitter smile on my face.

And since Mu Gong was gone, there was no reason for us to stay here any longer since we were just bothering the Huo Couple.

In the end, we followed An Long to the Explorer Association.

Even Iris came along, but it didn’t seem like her parents were against it.

Once we arrived at the Explorer Association, we didn’t go to the same counter as usual.

Instead, An Long brought us up to the top floor of the Explorer Association and showed us into an office.

This office was clearly an important one and there was a name plate that said, "President of the Explorer Association." So it was clear that this was his office that we were in.

Once we sat down, the first thing that An Long did was…

"Ha…"

He leaned back in the chair that he sat down in and let out a long sigh as if he was completely exhausted. This was completely different from the image that he gave off as the president of the Explorer Association.

None of us knew what to think about this or what to do.

It was only An Xue Yun who was still able to act normally.

But this was her father, so she should already be used to any other personalities that he had.

It almost seemed like he was forcing himself to act the way that he had been acting just for the sake of the Explorer Association.

It took a few minutes before he finally opened his eyes to look at us who were just awkwardly standing there since we had no idea what to do with An Long like this.

When he opened his eyes to look at us, the first person that he looked at was…me.

"You, you’re now an Irregular." Discover stories with novelbuddy

"Huh?" I said in a confused voice since I didn’t understand what he suddenly said to me. After waiting for so long, the first thing that he said was that he was making me an Irregular.

Only I had no idea what he meant by Irregular.

An Xue Yun seemed to expect this, so she explained it to me.

It turned out that Irregular was a special title in the Explorer Association.

It was only given to those that deserved it and to be deserving of it, one had to prove that they were indeed an irregular. They had to show their ability that far surpassed all other Explorers, which would net them the title of Irregular.

After everything that I had done…it seemed like I did fit this title.

Especially since three World Summoners and one World Guardian had been gathered because of me.

Well, it was more like two World Summoners and one World Guardian.

It wasn’t as if Iris’ father, Huo Fan Tian had been gathered because of me.

It was more that he was dragged along by his wife.

Perhaps I might have wanted this title in the beginning, but now after everything that had happened and all of the attention that I’ve drawn…it was better if I didn’t draw as much attention.

It was better if I just remained lowkey and avoided everyone’s attention.

So it wouldn’t be good to get this Irregular title…

"I appreciate it, but I think I’m good."

"Huh? You’re good? Do you even know what you’re saying?" An Long immediately sat up in his chair and pointed his finger at me when he heard this.

With the way that he looked at me, it seemed that he wasn’t happy that I was rejecting this.

"Instead of getting another title that would draw people’s attention to me, it would be better for me to just remain lowkey and slowly develop my powers."

"Who said anything about having you draw attention? That’s the reason why we’re making you an Irregular instead of just directly increasing your rank. The Irregular title is an internal title that is hidden from everyone else, it’s something that only the people of the Explorer Association will know about."

An Xue Yun added, "It’s also a title that would give you plenty of benefits."

I turned to look at her as she described the benefits that came from the title.

When I heard this, I couldn’t help feeling a bit moved by what she said.

It seemed that the title really wasn’t an empty one, it seemed like the Irregulars got quite a bit from the Explorer Association. Almost as if they were being trained up by the Explorer Association.

As if she could see what I was thinking, An Xue Yun added, "Those that receive the Irregular title are usually those that are important to the Explorer Association that we try to keep safe."

She said this with a meaningful look.

I didn’t say anything as I just looked straight at her, as if I was confirming something.

When I saw that her expression didn’t change at all, I gave a slight nod.

An Long seemed even more unhappy with this as he said, "Do you really think that the Irregular title is something that is so easy to obtain? Do you think that we give this title to just anyone? Is it really something that you can get at the market like vegetables?"

Though he complained, it didn’t seem like he was going to take back this title which made a faint smile appear on my lips.

I understood what he was planning to do.

Basically, he was using this as a way to show that the Explorer Association supported me and at the same time, he was building a bond with me just like how Mu Gong had done by making me an in name disciple.

With the terms that came with it, it really didn’t seem like there was anything bad about it.

So I just gave a nod as I said, "Alright, I’ll take it."

An Long gave another displeased snort, but he didn’t say anything this time.

An Xue Yun just shook her head before going to the side to grab some papers that she wanted An Long to sign.

The only one that seemed a bit worried about this was Iris who had a nervous look in her eyes.
