"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
As the former king of the gangsters, this atmosphere reminds him of the past. Awakening James' pride that was dormant all those years ago*Ding!*New Mission [Physical: 41 (weak)][Aura: 62 (Medium)][Skills: Rising Sun, Hell Touch][battle points: 0] [Conditional Skill: Sword of Destruction][Condition: Can only be used if your physical points have reached 50 and aura points have reached 75. But it can still be used even if the skill user's points are less than these numbers when the anger felt has exceeded the limit][Mission: Defeat Philip in a one-on-one battle][Reward: +3 battle points]Just when James wanted to accept Philip's challenge, a mission appeared, offering a reward if he managed to defeat him. This certainly made James even more excited to take on the challenge. "Alright, I challenge you, big boy, and just so you know, I will not be merciful to people like you," James said excitedly because he remembered this condition was similar to when he was a gangster.The two
He then gathered his aura in his right fist, feeling no need to use any of his skills to defeat Philip. James used the basic advanced techniques he had learned. Crafting a new technique on the spot, he was suddenly inspired by Philip's stature as a heavyweight boxer.After he blocked Philip's attack with his left hand, James threw Philip, who was enveloped in a bear-shaped aura, upwards. All who saw the incident were amazed and would not have thought that a man so skinny that he looked like a zombie could throw Philip, who was using his aura.James threw Philip upwards not without calculation, and precisely this he did with a complete analysis. Throwing the big man into the air will make his space very, very limited. So that James' attack will not be possible to avoid; if there is anything Philip can do is deflect it with the aura that is now enveloping him.Even then, if he were smart, he would shrink the size of the bear aura that enveloped him and flatten it so as not to get hurt.
The tournament was held not only to introduce the power of aura to the world and as a showcase for each guild. Each guild is expected to send its best candidates as representatives at the world event.The Gungnir Guild was obliged to participate in the grand event because it was the strongest guild in Great Britain. Lily explained to James that in the not-too-distant future, the guild would hold a selection to choose the contestants to be sent for the competition."So now aura power has become a very common thing in society apparently. I almost didn't believe the world could be like this," said James."All of this is also because of you, who fought so recklessly that various media exposed it, James," Lily said in an annoyed tone.James just laughed because he couldn't deny that fact. While they were still talking, a siren suddenly blared. James thought there was a fire or maybe an attack from the enemy, but when he saw Lily, who was still calm, it made all of James' thoughts fall."Li
People left the room one by one, and people left the room. Leaving James, Titania, Scarlet, Tanya, and Seigfried still sitting without moving an inch. The three people assigned by Chief Kenrich to conduct the expedition were there to discuss their strategy, but Scarlet and Titania, who were clearly not part of the team, also did not leave, raising questions for both of them."What are you two doing here? Isn't there anything else you can do?" asked Seigfried."You think I'm unemployed? I'm very busy so that you know. But I'm not going to leave the master alone here with James," he said with a childlike expression that made Tanya laugh."Meanwhile, I'm here to prevent Titania from interfering too much with your meeting, so I'll secure her," Scarlet said."Huh? Who are you, Scarlet? My baby sister?" said Titania in a high tone."Enough! If you want to be here, then at least keep quiet. Because we have to discuss the strategy to get the sephiroth tree fragment," said Seigfried in an angr
