A few hours passed, and the entire warriors who took the assessment were finally assessed while Rey was the only one remaining. Those warriors who were either disqualified or passed the assessment goes back to their seats as to watch how Rey would passed the assessment. "Rey, you can come up now." "O-Okay." "Let's see, I will certainly win this bet!" "Are you really sure? Maybe he was a hidden master who was pretending to be weak." "You're daydreaming; only those from the novels you've read could have a hidden master." “…” As Rey was entering the field, the instructor who was at the center readied himself by positioning his body into an impenetrable defensive stance. "You may do what you should do, Rey.." After entering the field, Rey immediately used his dragon's eye to analyze the defensive stance of the instructor. "Hmm, there were no gaps at all. Whether it was attacking to his sides, to the front, or even behind his back." Rey unsheathed his katana and dashed toward the
An hour passed, Rey followed the Instructor and finally arrived at the residence of the Head Master of the Hunter Guild. >Hunter Residence< "Ohh, I forgot to tell you that there was another privilege for being an official hunter." "Ohh, do tell.." "Warriors who become an official hunter can receive their own residence here on the Hunter Residency. Though one could only receive a small residence, their defense was quite good since every side of this domain has its own barrier that protect everyone's safety." "I see. So I also have my own residence here?" "Not yet, you first need to become a senior hunter in order to receive your residence." "How can I become a senior hunter?" "With what you have, you can already become a senior hunter." "You mean this pile of monsters that I hunted?" "Yes, once the headmaster sees this, he would be delighted and will make an exception to promote you as a senior hunter without going through the guild’s tradition.” "Tradition, huh?” "By the wa
A few minutes passed, and they finally arrived at the floor where the headmaster of the hunter guild resides. >Eight Floor, Head Master Residence< "Ohh, instructor Bran, what might be your intention of coming here?" "Senior Hunter Hayden, I came here for some important business." "Ohh? Business you say?" "This was Rey, a person from the outside. He was currently in a stage of quansi-saint just like me and he was here to propose a business with the headmaster." "Hmm, a saint who wants to propose a business to the headmaster? A rare seed huh?" "Yes, please let us meet the headmaster." "You may proceed." "Thank you, Senior Hunter Hayden." "Hmm.." … "Instructor, who might that Hayden be?" "He, like me, was a senior hunter, but the difference was that I joined the hunter guild to become an instructor, but he joined as the Head Master's direct subordinate." "You were both the headmaster's subordinate, therefore there aren't any distinctions, aren't there?" "Ahh, direct subordi
After his talk with the head master, Rey proceeded to go to his given house as he was being accompanied by Instructor Bran. "This residence will be mine?" "Yes, you were really lucky.." "This residence was a bit larger and it seems like the innergy here was denser than the others." "This residence was originally built for the senior alchemist which is why the surrounding has denser innergy than the others. After all, alchemists do find that the environment could affect the success rate of the pills that they wanted to conduct. "I see, can I also meet this Alchemist that you mentioned?" "Hmm, can I ask for a reason why you want to meet this Alchemist?" "Because of the crystal stone. Someone informed me that the Crystal stone was formerly a chrysanthemum stone, and alchemists in my hometown discovered that this crystal stone could be used to make a blue pill, but unfortunately, it can only be taken by people who were at Quansi-lords." "And?" "And I learned that Alchemist on this
Several weeks passed since the king of Dakufindo left from the Demon Realm as to advance to the next stage of sainthood, the true saint. "How many times had passed since I was soaking on this bloody demonic pond? There was still no sign of breaking through?" Muttered Mammon. "Maybe the demonic pond was of no use for your ascension, your highness." Said, one of the demonic being who were in charge of a small kingdom in Demon Realm. "Ohh, But I've been using this pond since I was born, and it even helped me break through to my current state." "Your highness, how about using the method that the humans currently use to advance to the higher stages?" "Ohh? What methods do humans have?" "Their method was to hunt many monsters or battle with each other while the essence of those they have killed was naturally absorbed and converted to their own innergy." "So you want me to return to the human world? Are you an idiot? I forced open the warp that connected to the human realm simply to ge
A few minutes passed, and Alchemy Johann asked Rey whether he has enough crystal stones for making the certain pill that could improve one's evolution rate. "So how much crystal stone do you have?" "I have one thousand two hundred five crystal stones." "Thousand you say? Hmm, did you know that making the chrysanthemum pill can cost a lot of crystal stones?" "How much really was needed in order to make one?" "Five hundred crystal stone was needed in order to create that pill, and with its difficulty, it would cost a lot before successfully making one." "Sighed, it was really costly, huh?" "It really is, extracting the essence from the crystal stone was a difficult procedure, and you need to concentrate when mixing each ingredient or else the entire process would be ruined." "Is there really no way of increasing the success rate of making the pill?" "Hm, there is one, but no one hasn't found it yet." "Oh? What is?" "Did you know that before becoming an alchemist, one would nee
After another hour, the essence of the ingredients was successfully extracted and formed into a pill. "S-Success!" Remarked, Alchemist Johann. "Already?" "What do you mean? Several hours had already passed! It was even midnight now." "Ohh, being an alchemist sure takes a lot of time." "It certainly is, there was even a time where concocting a higher grade pill takes up to one or two whole days before extracting and entering the phase of mixture." "That long?" "Yes.." "The proof was currently in front of you. Just by making a grade 3 pill takes up at least seven hours before finally taking the form of pill." "So this was a grade 3 pill, huh?" "Yes, pills were classified into four grades: 1st to 2nd grade was labeled as lower grade pill, 3rd grade was intermediate grade pill, 4th grade was higher grade pill, and 5th grade was mystic grade pill. There was also a ranking on being an Alchemy; if you can make a 1st or 2nd grade pill, you will be categorized as apprentice alchemist.
The day had passed, and Rey came back to his residence before doing his hunt while Alchemist Johann departed to another town which was the town where the headquarter of the Alchemists was located. >Rey's Residence< "Hmm, Khufra." "Yes, brother?" "How about we hunt a great general monster this time?" "Great General monster? What kind of monster was that?" "A monster that has the strength comparable to the stage of quansi-saint." "Ohh? So we will hunt farther than we used to do?" "Yes, I feel like I will really need a lot of crystal stone and so hunting the best monster would earn us by a lot." "Can we really hunt a great general monsters?" Note: In the land of Hope, monsters were classified according to their strength: a Warrior Stage Monster has the strength of a Quansi-Lord, a Chief Warrior Stage Monster has the strength of a True-Lord, and a General Stage Monster has the strength of a Supreme Lord. A Great General Monster has the strength comparable to a Quansi Saint while
