As much as the vice-chairman wanted to believe something so powerful had fallen into the Japanese association's hands, he also didn't want to believe it. That long list of abilities made for such a massive threat, he could hardly quantify it. What if someone had the ability to trick both Makima and Gojo? The only chance for Japan at that point would be calling upon a list of National Hunters. There was, however, an implication that these two had been properly evaluated by Makima and given E-rank status to avoid having them bothered by every guild in Japan. Miko looked Yugi's way at that mention, but he seemed entirely unconcerned. They would definitely be making their own guild at some point.

Anyone could have expected a bit of caring disbelief from the vice-chairman. Yugi figured Makima would demand some form of proof for the blonde male, and was already halfway to the creation of something he'd been thinking of all morning. As he expected, she finally demanded a Skill. Nothing else in their arsenal would truly prove their ability to empower other Hunters. "Did you really think you needed to ask? Leftovers from the dogs, scrapping some armor pieces, using an extra few copies of Thread Bind..." Yugi chattered, only to have Miko point at the Skill: Royal Drain Touch. "Oh, not bad! That'll effectively make it even stronger. If I'm right, and I hope I am... this should be what I've been hoping for. Craft!" he exclaimed at the System. What did he produce from that?

Chains of the Pale Queen

Once that Skill was spawned, Yugi became visibly excited. He didn't even hesitate before producing the Skill Rune and holding it out. "Fuck yes! First S-rank Skill! And it only took... a lot of materials, but fuck that! Nothing less for Mommy Dearest♥~"

Miko and Yugi were an anomalous situation. Miko could easily see them using a guild and basically having it be their own double-sided harem to go out, make System Funds and then have the normal things split an processed among the group. There was even currently openings for specialized craftsmen and the like to be included in their number, she couldn't see either of them wanting to belong to someone else, aside from their already declared allegiance to Makima which seemed to go both ways. At the same time, the vice-chairman was having quite the difficult time with the information being given, by the end Makima asked for a skill, a good one. She got a reply from Yugi but she only smiled, "I am aware you likely didn't need to be asked, but I can't allow myself to become spoiled by those who can anticipate my whims~" Makima stated almost pleased.

While the teen boy put together the skill, with a bit of input from the lass in his lap, "Chii♪~ I've been abusing that skill, it might be one of my favorites♪~" Miko chirped happily. Makima while she waited did have something else to share, "Hi-pyon you know what I am capable of more than most. I took them down to Basement Four and considered locking them up, and instead of that happening they walked away with connections made to Enju and Anan. This is far beyond anything we could put into the realm of normal," Makima explained with a gentle smile on her face. She already knew these kids were something beyond special and then she was handed a rune. Miko offered Yugi a high-five for his successful completion of an S-rank Skill, even knowing how much when into it, Makima could indeed have whatever she wanted. Apparently the first S-rank skill created, which used a host of materials but was apparently worth it to give to Makima. "Good boy!~" she encouraged happily. "Now if I remember this correctly..." she held that rune in her hand and crushed it, and the felt a surge of mana into her arm and around her body. How very strange she completely understood what had been done and looked at the blonde male with a wicked grin coming to her face. She extended her hand, expended 10 measly mana, and formed a crimson colored chain around the blonde's neck, She aimed to pull him forward out of his chair and into a floor like sumbissive posture as she moved to the edge of her desk seemingly amused. "Now say something nice~" she'd say if she managed to be looking down at the man in question.

Apparently, Makima had already taken this pair to the fourth basement level where dangerous individuals were kept. In doing so, she found them befriending the likes of Enju and Anan. Once more, the vice-chairman was surprised. "Jucchi is pretty easy to get along with. I tried talking her out of putting herself in there, but I get it. She's not too surprising. Him, though... that's a little startling~" he decided. During that time, Yugi was steadily working on the most potent Skill he'd come up with in the crafting interface yet.

What he came up with was an S-rank Skill, simple in description yet effective and versatile. "It's a good one. It combos easily too. Aaaand I couldn't resist; I mixed in a bit of Ruler's Hand as well," was Yugi's reply to Miko. Makima took that rune with pleasure and encouragement, remembering that it was necessary to crush the item for integration. She didn't waste any time before putting it to use, suddenly ensnaring her own vice-chairman by the neck with a chain. He was dragged down onto his knees, where he had no choice but to look up at Makima as she lorded over him. Say something nice, she demanded. He needed a moment to get over the shock of a sudden new ability coming from Makima. He was one of few who knew everything she was capable of. This certainly wasn't on the list before that stone was crushed. Either way, an order was given... so to answer the demand of saying something nice, he grinned cheekily... and growled with a rolling tongue.
