Students started to leave after Cole told them everything. Evan sat there for some time while deep in thought.
He was thinking about whether he should go to Naphliam City or not.
‘My prime core is still far from full recovery, if I go, there is a chance dark guild will target me’ Evan thought and stood up.
‘It is quite risky to go there without advancing to the next rank, but it is not like I am afraid of them, even if they sent an A rank hunter I have enough confidence that I will be able to escape from him’
Even though the monster tide is dangerous, it is also an opportunity for him to collect more cores and get battle experience. He collected many cores from his trip to Aquaville city, but considering the number of cores he will be needing in the future they are far from enough besides
‘I am bored after training here all day’ Evan left the academy’s hall and started to walk towards his room.
He decided to stop his training for today since he will be leaving tomorrow morning.
He wanted to be in perfect condition when he leaves from here.
”When did you return?” while walking back Evan suddenly heard a voice and when he turned back he saw Valery coming towards him.
After coming back from Aquaville City he stayed inside the training centre most of the time, so very few people were aware that he came back.
Evan also didn’t tell anyone because… Well, there is no one he has to tell he returned. He is a lone dog after all.
“Just a few days ago, what about you? Didn’t you go into an A rank dungeon with the people of your guild” Evan asked her because after the exam she told him that she will be going into an A rank dungeon with her guild.
“I also came back just a few days ago, that dungeon had fifty floors, and it took us more than one month to clear it,” Valery said while shaking her head.
It was obvious that A rank dungeon was harder than she expected.
Evan was a little jealous inside after hearing her, even though she is just a B rank hunter she can still go into A rank dungeons.
‘I wish I also had a tycoon father’ Evan thought while sighing inside.
“So, are you going there?” Valery asked him as they continue to move.
“Yeah, I have nothing else to do, so might as well go there” Evan said while shrugging his shoulders.
“I also wanted to go, but I have to deal with some things so I won’t be able to go there,” Valery said while sounding downcast.
“Why are you looking downcast, it’s not like it is a big deal?” Evan asked her when he saw her downcast look.
According to him, there is no need for her to sound upset, even if she doesn’t go there it is not like she will lose anything.
With her background, she can easily get cores for increasing her rank. As for the merits that can be exchanged for artefacts or other precious things, he was sure she already have enough artefacts with her.
“What do you know?” Valery said while glaring at him, “It is monster tide, a real freaking monster tide, thousands of monsters will gather at the same place and will fight against the hunters”
“Don’t tell me you never thought about seeing a fight between thousands of monsters and hunters”
“A fight where hunters will kill all the monsters and save the city?”
‘So she just wanted to go there to watch hunters fight against monsters’ Evan thought while holding himself back to not give her a dropkick.
‘Is this the life of tycoons?’ Evan shouted inside his mind. Other people wanted to go there to collect some cores and get merits so that they can improve their rank.
But this woman wanted to go there because she wanted to see thousands of monster fight.
She was treating it like a stage show?
“It’s a pity I won’t be able to fight against a monster tide,” Valery said and sighed heavily.
Evan’s eyes were twitching after hearing her but he didn’t say anything to her.
Suddenly he remembered something and asked Valery, “By the way, do you know a good blacksmith?”
“Blacksmith? I do know someone, why do you ask?”
“I need gauntlets, I checked online shops but I did not find anything satisfactory so I was thinking about asking a blacksmith to make a pair of gauntlets for me”
Since Evan can’t use swords and other weapons properly he was thinking about using gauntlets, but when he checked online he did not find any gauntlets that were higher than C rank.
For current him C rank gauntlets are not enough. He wants something that is at least B+ rank so he was thinking about asking a blacksmith who can make them for him.
“Naturally, you did not find gauntlets because very few people use them,” Valery said after hearing him.
“I can introduce you to him, but do you have materials for making your gauntlets?”
“Do I need to provide materials myself, can’t that blacksmith use something from his shop? I will pay him for his materials as well” Evan asked while raising an eyebrow.
“Even though it is not necessary, it will be good if you provide the materials by yourself because most of the time, blacksmiths will just use normal materials to make equipment for others,” Valery said while shrugging her shoulders.
“Currently I don’t have any good materials with me,” Evan said after hearing Valery.
He can ask Illusia to look for good materials but it will still take some time for her to collect good materials.
“I got something good in the A rank dungeon that I visited. I can give that to you if you can give me something of equal value” Valery said to Evan after hearing him.
“Oh, what did you get?”
“It is something that is perfect for making equipment like armour and gauntlet, if you use that thing as material, there is a high chance you will be able to forge an A rank gauntlet”
“But I can’t give you that thing for free, so tell me if you have anything that you can give me for a material that can make an A rank artefact” Valery replied with a smile on her face.
“Actually, I do have something” Evan did not even think after hearing Valery and said instantly.
“Oh, what is it?” Valery was taken aback by his instant response but still asked him.
“I have information”
