Chapter 217: Another... already?
Instructor Gary stood stiffly before a communications panel, the faces of two stern-looking officials from Valen City displayed on the screen."Report," the first official, a man with sharp eyes and grey temples, commanded."Training concluded ahead of schedule, sir," Gary stated, his voice clipped and formal. "Results were definitive after the four primary tests. One trainee significantly outperformed all others across every category.""Ahead of schedule?" the second official, a woman with a severe haircut, raised an eyebrow. "Because one trainee dominated? Explain.""Yes, ma’am. Kyle Anders, D-rank, Necrus Tiger Guild. He set new records in Endurance and Speed. His Strength and Instinct scores far surpassed the benchmarks for his rank, rivaling B-rank averages. Continuing the training seemed redundant."The male official leaned closer to the screen. "A D-rank? On the provisional task force for the Rank 6 dungeon? Gary, are you confident in this assessment? We aren’t sending children
Chapter 216: What is this?
Everyone was given a short break to recover while the instructors set up for the next test: Speed.A complex obstacle course snaked across the training field – walls to scale, ropes to swing across, narrow beams to balance on, and finally, a hundred-meter dash to the finish line."Speed isn’t just about running fast in a straight line," Instructor Gary announced, his voice regaining its usual sternness, though his eyes kept flicking towards Kyle."It’s about agility, control, navigating difficult terrain efficiently. Fastest time through the course wins. Fall, you get a time penalty. Fail to complete an obstacle, you’re disqualified from this test. Go!"The horn blared again.Trainees surged forward in waves. Kyle watched the first few groups tackle the course. Many struggled with the taller walls or slipped on the balance beams. Lisa went through smoothly, her movements nimble and practiced, earning her a fast time near the top of the early results.When Kyle's wave was called, he to
Chapter 215: Pushing Limits
The next few weeks settled into a comfortable routine. Kyle spent time exploring his new house with Natalie, getting used to having space and clean water whenever he wanted.He trained lightly, practicing channeling mana into his limbs, recalling the feeling from the dungeon. The five million credits sat safely in his bank account, a constant, almost unreal presence.Life was quiet, a stark contrast to the chaos he’d experienced since awakening his power.Then the notification came—a crisp message on his Guild-issued device: Annual Hunter Training commences, 0800 hours."Guess the vacation’s over," he said to Natalie over breakfast (burnt eggs again, though slightly less so this time)."Training? Like, push-ups and running laps?" she asked, stealing a piece of his non-burnt toast."Something like that," he replied, pulling on his new gear.Katherine had insisted he upgrade after seeing the state of his clothes post-dungeon. He now wore sturdy, dark leather armor that fit well, reinfor
Chapter 214: Handling Greed
“Hell yeah!!” Natalie screamed, wind whipping through her purple hair as Kyle expertly navigated the city streets."This is awesome! When did you even learn to drive? And get a license? And this car!" She patted the dashboard of the sleek, dark vehicle. "Seriously, Kyle, it’s only been a week!"Kyle grinned, keeping his eyes on the road but enjoying her excitement. "Hunter benefits," he said simply, a hint of pride in his voice. "Things move faster when the Guild wants them to."She leaned back in the plush seat, still buzzing. "Faster? You went from never touching a wheel to licensed driver in seven days! That’s not fast, that’s insane!""Just glad you’re enjoying the ride," he chuckled. He steered the car away from the city center, the buildings gradually becoming less polished, the streets showing more wear.The familiar grey sprawl of the slums appeared on the horizon."Wait," she said, her excitement dimming slightly as she recognized their direction. "We’re going back there? Why
Chapter 213: Reward
Storm clouds gathered above Castle Varn, transforming daylight into premature dusk. Inside his study, Lord Varn stood at the window, watching lightning fracture the sky. He held a glass of wine, barely touched."The ritual failed," he said, his voice level but edged with frustration.Behind him, Ery arranged papers on his desk, her crimson hair pulled back in a severe knot. Unlike the other servants, she wore no uniform—just practical black clothes and a dagger at her hip."So it seems," she replied, her tone carefully neutral.He set his glass down and straightened his cuffs. "Let’s find out why."With a lazy wave of his hand, the air shimmered. Shadows twisted, and a figure materialized on the floor—Vivian, her armor cracked and stained, her face pale with shock.She gasped, clutching her chest as if expecting a wound that wasn’t there. Her eyes darted around, landing on the man.Fear replaced confusion."My... my lord?" Her voice trembled as she scrambled to her knees. "I—I’m alive
Chapter 212: The Association
A woman in a crisp white suit stepped into the medical tent. Two beastmen flanked her—tall, muscular figures with sharp claws and fur rippling over their skin.Kyle had never seen anything like them before.Her voice was soft, almost gentle, but something about her made his spine tingle with unease.She nodded at them. "Greetings."Kyle noticed Reiner and Zara stiffen, bowing their heads slightly. It was weird—too respectful for Guildmasters who ran their own guilds.Who was this woman?She walked toward him, her eyes sharp and curious. "So, this is the rising rookie? Interesting." Her gaze felt like it pierced right through him, like she could see the dual cores humming inside his chest.Then her eyes shifted to Franca’s body on the stretcher. A faint smile curved her lips, as if she sensed something from it. She stepped closer, but Kyle moved in front of her, planting himself between her and Franca."Don’t," he said, voice low.The beastmen growled, shifting forward, but she raised
