(From MC’s Perspective)
After deciding to return, I dashed towards the border. To avoid running across Mason Terrell’s pals. I chose a different way to reach it.
I’m not sure why. But, after making the decision to return, I feel a sense of relief in my heart. My thoughts became calmer as a result of it. Then I walk confidently towards my destination.
As time passes,
I arrived at the borders of the area two hours later. Fortunately, I didn’t come across any monsters on the way here. It saved me a significant amount of time. As a result, I may make it to the city wall in time.
This wilderness excursion has opened my eyes to new possibilities. The people I’ve met are not in the least bit ordinary. Everyone had their own personal style.
There are a lot of things on my mind that need to be clarified. I’ll clear my doubts one by one when I get home.
As I considered the money, a slight smile appeared on my face. My financial problems have been resolved. If I come here every weekend, I’ll most likely save a lot of money.
I won’t have to rely on my parents any longer.
A gleam flashed over my eyes.
I can’t wait to go to Claudia’s gym and practice. I want to see how my orange talent works within the mana chamber. This time, I feel the rate of mana absorption will be significantly higher.
My instincts also tell me that I will benefit from my next visit to Claudia’s gym.
Then, retracting my thoughts, I proceeded with caution. I stepped inside the outer area after crossing the edge. And now you’re more likely to run into humans than monsters here.
I furrowed my brows. I don’t want to get myself into any problems. Some folks, I believe, are waiting for weak hunters to loot. As these thoughts arose in my mind, I immediately increased my level of attentiveness.
I arrived at the city wall two hours later, after traveling past several trees, flora, and a tough narrow path.
I raised my eyes to the sky. The sun will set in a few hours. “I made it in on time,” I grumbled. ．
I noticed a number of silhouettes coming out and heading towards the city wall at this point. “Phew!” I exhaled a sigh of relief.
My return is much easier than my journey into the wilderness. I then walked towards the city wall, retracting my thoughts. I observed strange looks on the way.
The majority of them are probably curious about my team. They won’t believe me if I tell them I came here by myself. My pupils constricted suddenly,
I never expected to see them so soon. I noticed the city guards individually screening the hunters. There were four hunters in total: the skinny guy and three maniac girls.
Their expressions were devoid of any hint of remorse. They’d murdered their own captain. They have now returned to the city without hesitation.
My heart rate gradually rises. I continue to walk in order not to exhibit any odd behavior.
No one questioned me. Because I had no expression on my face. No one can sense anything else from me besides a gloomy vibe.
When I arrived at the queue, I stand behind the hunter. The city guards begin screening people one by one. It didn’t take long; they just needed to show their identification and enter.
Then I cast a casual glance at those four hunters. They were screened before entering the city. My heart sighed with relief. I’m most concerned about that skinny guy because he has auxiliary magical abilities.
He is able to acutely aware of any anomalies in the surroundings. After looking at them, I relaxed my guard. My turn came quickly. Instead of the hunter’s license, I presented my school ID. Before letting me in, the guard gave me a look.
He didn’t suspect me because it’s common for the wizard’s students to wander around the grounds here. I didn’t go straight to the adventurers’ union after entering the city.
The first thing I did was activate the communication watch’s general mode. There is nothing else in the notification except a few messages from my parents. I first responded to Mom’s message, saying I’d be home in a few hours.
Surprisingly, my parents no longer bother me. Especially since they know I’m working hard to improve my level. My elder brother is also unusually quiet. Perhaps he assumed I didn’t have enough money to train at Claudia’s gym any longer.
My lips curved into gentle arcs as I remembered my brother. He’s just a simpleton. He was envious of my newly gained talent and subsequent visit to Claudia’s gym. What a jerk. I’m not sure what he’d do later if he knew I’d already surpassed him.
I start thinking about the recent events in my life. My vision has begun to broaden as a result of my encounters with the police, Poison Dagger, Yellow River Academy, and now this adventurer union. I will sooner or later advance in my career.
Then, after reconsidering, I decided to contact the Adventurer Union. I rented an air car to get there.
The air car soon landed near the gate. After paying the fee, I exited the vehicle. “Let’s see how much money I can make from selling crystal gems,” I muttered under my breath.
Then I made my way to the front desk. I don’t need any assistance this time. I made my way directly to the staff working behind the desk.
She is the same woman who issued me a hunting license the day before. She raised her head to see me as I approached.
Her face shows a surprised expression. She hadn’t expected a school student to show up this time.
“Hi, can you help me with something?” I asked before she opened her mouth to speak. After that, I told her about my successful hunting trip in the wilderness.
I left out some information. I just mentioned the brown rabbit, the boar, and the four-horned sheep to her.
The big eyes of the staff widened in surprise. “You are very lucky to come across these weak 1st order monsters on your very first trip,” she said.
“Lucky my @$$!” I sneered inside.
I was reflecting on how I had escaped from that strange adventurer group. More than luck, I believe it was due to my precautionary measures.
Even later, when I was facing Mason Terrell, I ended him before his friends found out. It has a lot to do with preparation.
I didn’t say anything to her, though. I just want to get home as soon as possible. When the employee behind the desk noticed Vincent was silent, she stopped talking and began to explain the online store.
She stated, “You are not required to come here. You can sell or trade it using our online store. Here, the delivery service is quite good.”
She then began to look up the current online price.
When I heard that, I nodded and replied, “Well, I’ll use it next time.” It’s not that I’m unfamiliar with the online store. But first, I’d like to learn more about the Adventurers’ Union.
I’m currently a hunter without a party. You can learn a lot just by listening in on people’s conversations here.
Yesterday, that female wizard cast spells using traditional methods. It actually piqued my interest. Traditional methods require the use of ancient spells.
Ancient spells were written in the language of a bygone era. Only after learning that language will you be able to recite words and form a magical circle in order to cast a spell.
It is well-known and is taught in history classes. I’m sure these people had powerful backgrounds. So, if I want to learn about these topics, I have to come here frequently.
I’m smart enough to realize that some information is restricted. Some information will not be passed down to the masses because powerful people will not allow it.
Images of a fire wizard creating blazing magic circles flash before my eyes.
SIGH
I’m curious if this world contains any ancient gravity spells.
The other hand, the employee gave Vincent a strange look as she noticed him sighing and spacing out.
“What’s the deal with this kid?” She thought to herself.
She then examined the cost of crystal gems for first-order monsters. The price of first order crystal gems varies depending on the monster and the quality of the crystal gem.
Only high-quality crystal gems can be used as potion ingredients.
In addition, the prices of various monster species vary.
In the wilderness, first-order monsters such as the brown rabbit, boar, and four-horned sheep were common.
These monsters’ crystal gems were inexpensive when compared to rare first-order monsters like the Green Spotted Snake.
She is aware that the hunter is a student. Then she starts explaining the prices of the crystal gems.
I listened intently to her explanations. I’d like to learn more about rare monsters. She then proceeds to purchase the crystal gem in Vincent’s hand after some discussion.
