James was certainly amazed to see the other side of Scarlet, who could be that assertive and managed to calm the children in his tent in no time. But the children's cries, which had already been heard loudly, brought a nurse to check and confirm James' condition."It looks like Mr. James is fine. You can leave here tomorrow," said the nurse as she left the room. "Alright, boys, we better give James some time to recover. Let's all go back to the dormitory and thank him for saving you," Scarlet said, followed by a simultaneous thank you from all the children in the room."Thank you for saving us, Mr. James," they said in unison, making James sentimental and a little touched. After saying thank you, the children left James' hospital room.* Ding!* All missions have been successful.

After waking up, James hurriedly dressed, and together with Scarlet, they headed to the City of London to get James' license."By the way, what is an aura user license, if I may know? It would be best if you had it, Scarlet?" asked James.With a confident face, Scarlet showed his license, which had a large S symbol printed on one side. She indicated that she was an S-level aura user."Hmmm, so that's what it looks like," he said indifferently, then he asked, "So where are we going?" asked James while smoothing his hair."The headquarters of the aura users' union. You might have met the chairman before," Scarlet said."Me? Have you met the chairman?" James wondered."Yes, the government-run office is headed by Xavier Redcliff, a bespectacled man with piercings hanging from his ears. You must have met him during the Sir Noville incident," Scarlet said."Ahh, I remember that man. The position he occupies is that high. But considering that he's quite capable, that's to be expected," said
"Where have you been, James? You made me wait for you," Titania grumbled."I just bumped into someone and got stopped because of that. I'm sorry," James replied.Scarlet, who heard James' answer, squinted slightly; he realized it was impossible to be stopped for so long just because he bumped into someone. But he ignored that feeling because they had to test James immediately."Alright, ladies and gentlemen, please come in," Xavier said as they entered a room with a large ball in the center.James was being tested for the first time and wondered what he should do. In front of him was a giant floating ball of gold-colored metallic material. He asked if the test would be to smash the ball or kick it until it bounced to measure his strength. But rather than get lost in his thoughts, James asked what he should do."So what do I need to do to get my license?" asked James."It's simple, you just channel your aura into this ball, and we will be able to see the results through the score that
"Logical" was the only word that came to James' mind when he heard Titania's words. However, her words were inversely proportional to her childish demeanor.Scarlet, who knew from Arthur why Chairman Kenrich did not appoint just any student, remained silent as if she knew nothing—shepherding and forcing James to argue with an excuse so as not to reveal the real reason.James let out a long sigh and then said, "It's not as simple and easy as you think, Titania. Why do you think I was only given a time limit of one month other than the risk I could take?" asked James. Titania didn't say a word because she didn't know how to answer James' question.Then James continued his ridiculous words to trick Titania, "The answer is that the human body does not all have the same level. It could be that someone other than me could train for more than a month or even that someone else died as soon as they entered that dimension. Chairman Kenrich has strict standards for that, so he doesn't choose j
"What's wrong with that, James?" asked Chairman Kenrich."The first time I saw someone who was able to control the lightning in the sky made me wonder about how an aura user could control the elements in nature directly," said James, pausing for a moment.Then he continued, "Then because I saw it with my own eyes, I can know that the stick she uses makes Titania able to do that. So chief, what I want to ask is, what exactly is that stick? Why can it seemingly channel the power of aura users and control the elements in nature?" asked James."Hmmm, I guess I haven't taught you this yet because I was just focusing on training your basic skills," said Chairman Kenrich, sipping his drink."It's called a catalyst, James. An object or tool that is useful for maximizing the ability to use aura. It is also usually made by aura users with certain techniques to optimize the user's ability," said Chairman Kenrich.James took a sip of his drink and then asked, "I'm thinking of getting one of that
Upon entering the room, James was mesmerized by all the interiors and ornaments. Everything in the room felt like an extremely expensive antique."Oh my, this room must be worth millions of pounds if it's cashed in," said James unconsciously. "You're a good judge, James. This entire room contains priceless antiques. This is a special room provided by La Olde Friar for VIP customers, and since you bought information that has a fantastic value, we have to treat you accordingly," Alfred said."You old fart, so all this time, the people upstairs were just low-class customers to you?" asked James."Oh no, of course not, James. All customers are equal in our eyes. It's just that for certain people, we have to treat them differently like you, who give us a lot of profit, so we have to provide services of equal value to you," said Alfred defensively."By the way, is the third floor still a place of torture for them and a den for hitmen?" asked James.The question seemed to bother Alfred; his
"I want to know who is the master of prostitution, who is in control throughout Great Britain, and which meat processing company receives the corpses?" asked James.Before the informants could answer, Alfred said, "That's different information, James. Remember, there is a price for every piece of information," he said."Tell me the price, Alfred; I will pay it," replied James with a severe face.Hearing James' straightforward and calm answer, Alfred was quite happy, "It's not too expensive, it's only worth the twenty percent discount I gave you, how is it?" asked Alfred, offering his hand."You old miser, it's the same as me not getting any discount. But okay, I agree," said James shaking Alfred's hand as a sign of agreement between the two.After agreeing to the predetermined price, the informants in the VIP room with James and Alfred began to provide the information they had. One by one, they began to tell whatever they knew about the controllers of prostitution in Great Britain and
