Chapter 216: Superhuman Alliance
Luna was beautiful. She was so beautiful that it almost looked like someone out there took decades of their time just so that they would craft Luna as perfectly as possible! The woman couldn't help but be in awe of the beauty!
But the woman could see a shadow of sadness flash across Luna's face as she began to move into the building. The woman did not know what that meant, but no matter how curious she was to find out about it, she would not pry into the business of one of the SOVERIGNS! She simply followed behind Luna calmly as they made their way toward the council meeting room!
The Superhuman Alliance building was a large compound built in the center of the largest city that was in the center of the Federal Republic of America, City S. The compound was very similar to the White House in design and architecture mainly because it was a student of the person who built that White House that built the Alliance building.
Every superhuman in America knew about the building, and this building was the only place in America that was open to superhumans of any rank and guild, at all times of the day, every day of the year!
There were always superhumans ready to help other superhumans within this building, and any superhuman looking to begin their journey as a fighter would first have to come here and register before they are allowed to go and fight against Anima as they pleased.
This building is also where guild masters gather once a month to give reports of their guild activities as well as to request for larger jurisdiction or more authority in the country. The guilds in America are classified in the same way that superhumans are classified.
F Rank guild -> S Rank guild.
There are also guilds with the Undefined Rank, but there has not been a single guild in the entire country that entered this category. In order for a guild to be classified as a rank, they must possess at least three members that are in that rank! An S rank guild must have three S ranks in them, and an A rank guild must have three A ranks, and so on.
However, the five SOVERIGNS who were seen as the strongest in America all preferred to create their own guilds instead of working together under one guild. This meant that there has never been more than one undefined superhuman in one guild before, so there has never been an undefined guild.
Guilds could also get a higher ranking based on the Anima corpse that they bring into the Alliance. Anima corpses are seen as some of the most precious commodities by weapon and armor makers in the world. The weapons and armor made from Anima skin could sell for anything between one million dollars to a billion dollars depending on the sort of Anima that the weapon and armor were made from.
Armor made from the skin of Disaster Classes are the most common, and the skin of a very strong disaster class could sell for almost twenty million dollars in the Superhuman Alliance and if you were to sell that same skin in the black market, you would be making almost three times that amount easily.
Superhumans in the underground black market were willing to spend a lot more on armor since they depended on it more than superhumans who were working in the Alliance and who were part of guilds.
But that is nothing compared to the amount of money that could be gotten from selling Anima bones. Anima bones are seen as one of the most precious commodities in the entire world. You could kill an Anima and completely destroy its skin, but as long as most of its bones are intact, you can make almost the same amount of money from that Anima that you would have made if it was completely intact.
A full skeleton of a low-level Disaster Class Anima sells for more than two hundred million dollars in the Superhuman Alliance and about three hundred million in the black market. The reason for this extreme price was because of how many things Anima bones could be used to produce.
Anima bones are used to create weapons, anima-proof cars, armor, and some superhumans even put it in their food because they believe that bones have healing and rejuvenating properties that would help them to become stronger.
Pound for pound, Anima bone is the most precious commodity in the world! Even more precious than diamond, gold, and ruby combined!
But there are also a lot of laws restricting the sale of Anima bones anywhere outside the Alliance because of how some people have begun to abuse the substance that is found in the bones. Anima bone marrow possesses more hallucinogens than cannabis and it is a more potent drug than both Heroine and Cocaine put together.
Just a single syringe of liquid Anima bone marrow injected into your body can give you a high that would last for at least twenty-four hours straight!
There were a lot of people trying to get the authorities to stop collecting Anima bones and to destroy them immediately after a superhuman kills the Anima so that the bone marrow would be eradicated from the market, but that wouldn't be possible because of how precious the bones are. Having that drug spread in the market is a small price to pay in exchange for getting the skeleton itself.
And besides, even the superhumans that kill the Anima were also gaining a lot of money from selling the bones and skin from their kills to the government. The government does not even need the superhumans to do anything after they kill the Anima.
Since there are cameras everywhere, the government knows which superhuman killed which Anima, and after collecting the Anima's corpse, the government will compensate the superhuman appropriately depending on how much the Anima's corpse was sold for.
Today was the day when most of the guild masters would come to the guild to give reports of their guild activities over the past month, and it was one of the busiest days for the entire Superhuman Alliance since they had to deal with all the guild masters and make sure that every one of them was taken care of.
Luna walked towards the Superhuman Alliance building with a calm look on her face. As she walked, there were people standing around who would stop and just stare at her. Many of them did it because they recognized her and they were in awe of her, but there were a lot more that did it because of how fucking beautiful she was.
There was this air of beautiful solitude that always surrounded Luna, like she was someone that lived in another world that no one could ever go into! And from how unapproachable she seemed, it was obvious to everyone that she was more than happy just staying in that world all alone without anyone ever joining her in there!
