The next day, when the sun was high, Blake accompanied Hestia and several other girls to the Apollo family's residence. There, a large group of girls was already waiting, striking various poses.
There were elves, humans, different orcs, Amazons, dwarfsâvarious races totaling about four to five hundred people.
According to Hestia, many of these girls had come from outside Orario and basically had no place to live. Some lacked the funds to support themselves. So, Hestia had given the original Apollo family's residence to these girls as a shelter, ensuring they wouldn't suffer in this unfamiliar city. Girls originally from Orario didn't require such care.
Blake agreed wholeheartedly. People coming from thousands of miles away deserved to be taken care of.
"Look over there, here he comes!"
"He's Blake, leader of the Hestia familia! He's even more handsome in person than on screen!"
"Yes, it's really exciting. After all, he's a man who completely breaks the iron laws set by the gods. 'Miracle' doesn't even begin to describe him."
"I'm a little nervous about whether I can get in."
"It's okay, don't worry. Goddess Hestia said recruitment isn't about talent or birth. As long as your character is good and you're not a bad person, that's all that matters."
"Yeah."
As Blake accompanied Hestia to the Apollo family's square, the girls chatted excitedly. Most stared at Blake with shining eyes, full of admiration.
Most hadn't come for the resources of the Hestia familia, but because they admired Blakeâa mysterious, powerful, and handsome teenager. They had traveled from afar just to join.
Their passionate gazes made Hestia pout, feeling a little jealous. "This is how it was before I joined the family... what will it be like after I join?"
Sometimes, having a boy you like who's too charming feels like a sinâso many women want to compete for him...
This thought crossed Hestia's mind. Lately, many goddesses chatted with her about Blake. She often heard female adventurers' voices praising and admiring him as she walked the streetsâand these girls were no exception.
Of course, Hestia didn't realize she was no different. As a goddess with a beautiful face and figure, she was secretly desired by manyâbut most dared not think too far because of her identity. Furthermore, Blake's recent fame and rumors made most gods and people afraid to covet Hestia; they feared Blake, the tyrant, would see through them and destroy them.
"Hello everyone, I'm Blake, leader of the Hestia familia. First, thank you all for coming from afar to join us. We are deeply honored and happy."
While Hestia daydreamed, Blake had already walked ahead to the front desk and announced with a smile that enchanted the girls.
"Our familia treats every member as family, and we hope you will do the same with one another. Time is short, so I won't waste it on nonsense. The only condition to join is to pass a character test. I won't reveal the exact standards; character is multifaceted, and failing the test doesn't mean you're a bad or evil person. As for resource distribution after joining, you'll find out then. If you don't join us, don't be discouraged. There are other good familias in Orario, and I can introduce you to them. If you want to leave Orario, we'll also provide money and specialties to help you return home."
"We're mentally prepared, Master Blake! Let's start~!"
The tension eased as one lively girl waved her little fist energetically.
"Well then, let's beginâone by one."
Blake smiled and walked down from the podium to sit at a nearby table prepared for the interviews. Though the girls were excited, they lined up in an orderly fashion, earning Blake's nod of satisfaction.
"Lord Blake is really mature."
Asia admired Blake as he calmly took down simple information like names, avoiding anything too private. Everything was handled so smoothly it made the girls comfortable. Even those who failed the test didn't feel resentment, only brief disappointment, which Blake lightened with a few jokes.
"Of course, he's my Blake, the best man in the world."
Hestia said proudly and nostalgically.
"I agree, Lord Blake is the best."
Lili said with pride.
"Well, Captain Blake is the best. The Hestia familia is the best."
Asia and the others smiled at each other, feeling lucky to have joined such a family. This atmosphere was unimaginable compared to when they were in the Ista familia.
Joining Blake's familia was their lifelong fortune.
Time passed slowly as the reviews proceeded. Blake used ancient magic and linguistic detection technology to investigate most girls. The majority had good character and were suitable to become family members. A few, however, clearly harbored troubled pasts, their hearts filled with negative emotions like revengeâor were even planted by rival familias.
For these, Blake could only set them aside temporarily.
It is human nature to seek power for revenge, but it depends on whether one's mind is calm enough to not prioritize revenge above all else. If calm, humane, and kind to those around them, Blake is willing to help them get the power they seek. If not, then forget it. He had seen too many cases and wasn't interested in wasting effort on strange women who might ruin the family.
As Blake neared the end of the final interview, three figures slowly appeared outside the station, watching with interest.
