The 23rd group had 1 person that passed.

A man in his late thirties. He was level 13 and had the Spear Master class. And this man had the B-rank glaive mastery skill and a couple other skills.

Lucas was on a roll of finding strong awakened.

The first was a man in his late twenties. He was level 7 with no skills.

The second was a woman in her mid twenties. She was level 10 and had the Assassin class with the D-rank dagger mastery and D-rank camouflage skills.

The third person to pass in this group was a man in his mid twenties. He was level 13 and had the Archer class. He also had the B-rank archery skill and a few other useful skills plus strong stats.

This group was a very big success and Lucas was very happy to have found them near the end today.

The 30th and last group of today had two people that passed.

The first was a man in his mid thirties. He was level 11 and had the Axe Master class and respective C-rank mastery skill.

The second and last person to pass was a woman in her early twenties. She was level 9 and had the F-rank dagger mastery skill.

Lucas and Francesco were finally done with the interviews today.

There would still be many applicants tomorrow, but only around half of the ones today.

They recruited over 110 awakened today.

Lucas and Francesco both considered this a huge success.

Probably 2-3 per group passed on average and that was a lot more than they expected.

'Organizing all of them is going to be a serious headache.'

Lucas sighed.

***

Lucas had a couple meetings with the important figures in the Helios guild.

They discussed their current situation and future plans, including the recruits and combat teams.

They decided to hold off on organizing them until the recruitments calmed down.

All recruits were free to do as they wishes for the next few days until they were assigned somewhere.

Some would probably be assigned to the two branches of the Helios guild that were now ready in the city.

They also planned to buy buildings in other cities to have branches there, but that was still farther away. The soonest would probably be the one they planned to have in Affoltern.

Affoltern was close to Zurich and the Helios guild cleared out the monsters for them.

Although they already had new gates there, the new association branch they had there were taking care of it. They also had help from a lot of awakened that were from there.

It was still difficult for them though since they had a population of less than 15 thousand.

The city zurich on the other hand, had 450 thousand.

Lucas was excited that his guild was growing and expanding.

Control and freedom were always extremely important to Lucas and now that he had Odin's Eye, he knew exactly who he could trust and who he could control.

No one knew that Lucas was planning on building an empire.

Though there were a few of his close confidants that had a clue on what his ambitions were, but they didn't mind and wanted to follow him.

***

It was evening, but it wasn't very late yet. Lucas decided to go hunt monsters with his avatars.

Since there weren't enough gates in Zurich, he planned to go to another city and clear gates there.

He planned to go to Dietikon, which was next to the city Zurich.

He called his friend Schmid who was the older gentleman and branch head of the association in Zurich.

Schmid made a few calls for him and made sure the association branch in Dietikon let Lucas raid gates freely as he wished.

Lucas thanked Schmid and drove towards Dietikon.

He also received some information on the current situation there from Schmid.

Apparently Dietikon suffered many casualties when the C-rank orc gate there broke.

They managed to kill them all with a lot of numbers and a few strong awakened, but they only managed to kill the ones that broke out and couldn't clear the gate itself.

People were already getting ready to evacuate from Dietikon since the gate would break again in a couple days.

So the call they got from Zurich that Lucas was coming was a big relief to them.
