SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Edgar and Stella are walking to a room.

Stella opened the door and led Edgar inside.

There are hyperbeings inside. They all passed out. Their heads are resting on the table.

"Are they all here?" asked Edgar.

"Yes," answered Stella.

She agreed to cooperate with Edgar.

Edgar told her to select runesmith masters and potion masters that she trusts. He will teach them runesmithing and potion-making in illusion space, but they must be tested by him first with his illusion.

Illusion dust covers all the people at the table.

Edgar watches them in the illusion.

Edgar chuckles after watching the illusions.

He looks at Stella and said,"Your method of spy prevention is too bad. All the boys are either paid by your uncle or by other companies. Only the three girls can be trusted."

Stella's face turned ugly.

Edgar brought the three girls, Merryl, Robert, and Susan, to a room.

"I will return them within a month," said Edgar.

Stella nodded, then said,"The companies will be ready at that time."

Edgar and the others teleported.

"He really is capable of teleportation. Does he have a secret cooperation with a demigod or 8th circle? But he has technology that not even a demigod or 8th circle have." Thought Stella.

Edgar and the others teleported into an underground hall. It is located in a forest outside of Metro Manila. He can't lead them to their headquarters.

Edgar looks at the astonished faces of everyone.

"After a month, you will be reborn."

Today is the weekend, and everyone is present at the headquarters except Edgar, Gan, and Gin. It is now time for lunch.

"What?! You prepared lunch for us?" asked Mike.

Melody nodded.

Seanlu's face changed when he heard it.

"I-I forgot my phone. I will go get it," said Seanlu with a look of urgency.

"Yo, Four Eyes, you forgot your phone," Busca shouted, beside him is Eric. They just finished their training and are also heading to the dining room.

"Damn musclehead!" Cursed by Seanlu in his mind.

"Hahahaha, Seanlu, I can't believe that your punch is even weaker than a lady two months ago. Except for the boss and Melody, no one among us can beat you, but I will definitely drag you down from your third position," said Busca as he put his arms on Seanlu's shoulder.

"Hmpf! Four eyes just got lucky that the boss found him first. I could have twice the result if I was him," said Eric.

"Say that when you can hit me in sparring spear addict!" Seanlu shouted.

"Damn four eyes! Wait until I reach first level. I will create a hole in your body! Don't worry, you will not die! The boss will heal you!" Eric fiercely said.

"Hahahaha, spear addict, it will not happen in your lifetime! You will forever chase behind my back,"said Seanlu. 

"Spear addict, you don't know how much I suffer just to get stronger. Thankfully, class rep is there to console me. Should I ask her out? I now have money. I didn't have money before because they were always taken by the bullies. I should also buy a motorbike. It looks more cool. We will have a joyride while class rep leans on my back," thought Seanlu as his cheeks turned red and his face looks infatuated.

"Ha! That disgusting face! I know you are planning something four eyes! I will keep my eyes on you! I will not let your evil plan happen!" said Eric as he pointed his finger at Seanlu's face.

Busca laughs at the two boys.

They arrived at the dining room.

"Shit! I forgot to excuse myself!" thought Seanlu.

The others in headquarters are all present, even Oscar.

Melody pushed a trolley, then opened a lid. There is a lot of meat on a plate.

She lifts the big meat to the air with wind magic.

She took out her zither and clad it with an aura. She waves her fingers toward the meat.

Aura blades cut the meat into several sections, and then the meat flew to the plates of everyone with wind magic.

Oww! They look at Melody with awe and clapped their hands.

"Sister Melody, you are so awesome!" said Emily with a thumbs up.

Melody smiles, and then she serves the sauce for the meat herself. It is still difficult for her to control liquids with wind magic.

Everyone took rice from the table. They have expectations, as the dish looks good.

They started tasting it, then their faces turned blue, sweat formed on their faces, and they have the urge to vomit except Oscar.

"How is it?" asked Melody with expectation.

They look at the face of Melody, who has an expectant look, and they force themselves to swallow the food with tears in their eyes.

"Sister Melody, the taste deserves the beautiful appearance of the dish!" said Oscar with a thumbs up. He is the only one who remains calm.

"Damn Fatso! It's beautiful outside but awful inside!" cursed everyone.

"It's unpalatable, but so what? Hmpf! Sister Melody is the second strongest in the team, and she will become one of the strongest hyperbeings in the world. It will be foolish not to curry favor with her. This is the best opportunity to do that!" thought Oscar.

Seanlu already expected it. He finished his food quickly, then he left.

"Thank you, Oscar. Do you want a second?" asked Melody with a smile.

Oscar sweats when he heard it.

Edgar laughs when he witnessed it. Melody is eager to do what she cannot do when she was not able to see, so she asked Edgar to teach her cooking when she learned life detection.

Gan is responsible in cooking food for dragon guards, but he has to take his wife and daughter from the terminal today.

Edgar touches his chin and thinks.

"It should be time to hire capable maids and cooks. I already have candidates. They will make the headquarters more lively, the honey trap team."

Two days later, Edgar and Mike are walking toward a room.

Mike knocks on the door, then a beautiful young lady with auburn hair opens the door.

"Brother Mike! Come in!" said Yuno happily.

Mike nods and smiles at her.

Edgar and Mike came in.

There are two women sitting on a sofa. The older woman looks like she is in her thirties. She has blonde hair, a voluptuous body, and a big bust. All three of them are attractive ladies. The three of them belong to the women saved by Mike and his friends.

"Anne, long time no see. M-Mari, you look more beautiful," said Mike with a blush as he looks at the woman with yellow hair.

"Hahahaha, brother Mike, give up. Sister Mari is into younger guys," said Anne, whose hair color is red.

Mari smiled, then she said, "Say it directly. Why did you call us?"

Mari looks at Edgar.

"It's probably related to him," thought Mari.

Mike scratched his head.

"He is my boss, and he wants to offer you a job. You should think carefully. It is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity that could change your lives and the lives of the people close to you forever." Mike seriously said.

The faces of the three ladies changed, and then they seriously look at Edgar, who is calmly sitting on a sofa.

Edgar smiles at them. He already tested their character in the illusion last night while they were sleeping.

A sound blockade shield rises from Edgar's feet, then spreads to the room. He raised his hand, then the wine bottle and glasses float. Wine comes out of the bottle and fills the glasses as they fly toward them.

"He is a hyperbeing, and he can cast magic at ease," thought the three ladies.

Edgar holds the glass filled with wine, then sips a little.

The other glasses are on the table in front of the ladies.

"I can give you two job offers. One is cooking, cleaning, and laundry with a six-digit monthly salary and many benefits. I can even treat any disease by anyone close to you. Two, I will teach you magic and aura. You will still do your job that I mention, but you will do a part-time mission. I might not even give you a mission, but in case your roles are needed, you will help in the mission. The mission I have in mind is just to distract the target until the objective is met. There is no need for intimacy in bed."

He looks at the three ladies, who are thinking seriously.

"Mike recommended the three of you because you have a stronger mind than the others. I will tell you the true situation of the world and the mission of the team that will be supported by your jobs," said Edgar, then he explained the invasion of worlds and the dragon guard's mission.

The ladies' eyes turned wide. They look at Mike, who is one of the dragon guards, and they feel astonished. They look at each other and made a decision.
