"Tsk, if only Lady Ice is here, she will kick their asses," said the voiced one.
"Right, but it was already had been 3 months after she went into seclusion and didn't return yet," replied by someone.
"Do you think, her advancement had failed?" Asked the former voice.
"No way, that's impossible!" Exclaimed the later voice.
"Right. As talented as her, there is no way for her to fail her advancement," the former voice agreed.
"Yeah. But unfortunately, she's not here. Now we can't even accomplish our quest. Those fuckers from the other academies won't give as breathing even in our own hunting grounds," the later added with a lack of enthusiasm..
Some of the loafers inside the barracks were conversing about someone and something in bitterness, which caught in Yman's ears. Their voices have a lack of vigor. He really was wondering if why the atmosphere inside the barracks was kinda gloomy.
He wanted to ask the clerk man. But he decided not since they were seemed to be busy at the moment, and other fledgling trainees had started to arrive one after another.
Bob said goodbye to Yman and Chloe after they exited the barracks, which they understood. They already knew that Bob's CE was at the peak. He needed to seclude himself for meditation while absorbing the MM.
"Ummmp!" Yman stretches his hand higher. If not because of his healing magic, for certain, his body would be aching all over now from those hell-like training. Although he felt like his strength, stamina, and speed had increased a little.
Yman and Chloe walked on the street with their deities.
Even though the place was a city but it seemed not so bustling with people.
"Yman, what do you think is the reason for those weird atmosphere inside the barracks?" Chloe who was walking beside suddenly asked him.
Lately, Chloe was able to converse with him casually, which made him happy about it. It also helps to get rid of the awkward atmosphere between them whenever they were side by side just like now.
Yman side-glanced at her before opening his mouth. He noticed the doubt and worry that was written on her face, "Hmm... I'm not too sure. I also was wondering, maybe something had happened? (sigh)" He said with a furrowed brows, then he followed his words with an uncertain question before he sighed.
Two days of consecutive training already bullying his fatigue. Now he could feel his body started to turn sluggish. He wanted to take a bath and fall asleep at the moment. But he could only wait until he returned to his apartment. And also, he was worried about his sister being alone at the moment.
After hearing his reply, Chloe also glanced at him. Then opened her mouth.
"Mhm, it seems like that. R-Regardless, what you are planning to do with your quest?" She nodded and asked him about his mission.
She really wasn't expecting for Yman to acquire such a quest. After all, rats were a very hated pest. They were gross and scary. Yeah, they have fluffy fur, but they were not cute to pet.
Well, depending on rats though. Since there were rats also that looks cute like a highbred hamster. Highbred hamsters intentionally bred for petting purposes. But the thing was, Yman took the quest about the Evil Rats!
Those Evil Rats were hideous looking with the body as big as normal pigs. And their mouths were dripping with greenish saliva that contains poison. And those pointed teeth outside its mouth, well, scary and gross when it bites you.
However, the most problematic part about rats was their dwellings. They usually gathered inside the tunnel and any other nasty places.
While thinking about it, Chloe felt a chill running down her spine, and her body pores were opening.
Yman on the other hand forced a tired smile. He knew why Chloe asked him about his mission. But, it's the only mission he had the chance to accomplish.
While they were conversing, Sistela and Jazz were also conversing with each other. For some reason, Sistela was patting Jazz who was seemingly afraid of rats also. Looks like, she and Chloe were both scared of rats.
The two of them were floating in between Yman and Chloe.

Yman and Sistela also parted with Chloe and Jazz when they arrived at the crossroad. He needed to buy a weapon and other items that might be helpful in his quest.
After saying their good lucks, the group parted to each other.
Yman with Sistela first went to the weapon shop. He needed a new weapon to hunt for rats. He already broke his wooden sword.
Now that he accumulated some GP, he believes he could buy a decent weapon. He really was thinking to buy a magical gun. But he had two problems. First, his GP wasn't enough. And second, his dexterity attributes still very low.
Someone who was planning to become a ranged combatant should have high dexterity attributes. Because it would be a waste if one lacks it since a person who had low dexterity would be having bad aiming ability.
After 15 minutes of walking, he finally arrived at the front of a 2 story building. Above the close glass door, the name 'SARSMITH WEAPON WORKSHOP' was written in bold fonts and in blue paint color and having the design of shield, sword, and gun.
Yman pushed the glassed door, then he together with Sistela stepped inside the workshop.
They were greeted by the smell of metal that invaded their nostrils, although Sistela doesn't have it. However, she could read the data surrounding her. After all, she was a super high-end system who was capable of five senses.
The inside was illuminated by yellow brilliance from the big circle lamp on the ceiling.
Inside the weapon shop, different types of weapons were lined accordingly. Some were neatly hung.
In their Cyber Screen, there was also an Auction option in the Market Section. Where some people posted their items for sale in there. And after you bought it, it will be delivered to you at a later date.
But Yman doesn't trust that auction, because sometimes, what posted their usually different from the item they delivered to you. They only looks better in the picture that was posted, but in reality, they were trash!
Prev ChapterNext Chapter When they entered the shop, a "Ting!" sound rang alerting the people inside of some visitors or costumers stepping in.Which followed by, "Welcome kid!" A greeting from a man sitting in a relaxed posture on the back of the counter in a slightly hoarse voice. Which his two legs on top of something and leaning his back on a softback of a chair.But Yman could not see the man's face, because his head that was facing the ceiling was covered by a straw hat. The shirt he was wearing slightly loose up to his chest where the bulging naked stomach as round as ball in full view. And a diety was comfortably cushioning on top of it."Mhm..."Yman just nodded with a little deep sound to his throat. Emphasizing his appreciation from the greeting.."???" On the contrary, Sistela floated near the man while question marks floated above her head as she was staring at the man and his deity with doubt.She might be wondering why such a person had the same body as her. Maybe thi
Yman chose the sword that about 2 feet in length. It was laying beside the silver shortsword.The name of the sword was Gladius. It has a double edge. It wasn't too short and wasn't long at the same time. It cost 350 GP only. Much cheaper than the silver shortsword. And had an additional attack of +15, much lower compared to the shortsword.And weirdly enough, he also bought a spear of 2.5 meters long. For a strategic purpose. It was named as Silver Spear, but only the blade at the tip was made of silver. And the long body stick was made from hardwood, which he assumed was a Demon Wood of rank B+.. This type of wood was unbending and hard as metal.|So, even in this world, such wood also exist, huh.| He thought as he took the Silver Spear with him to the counter, together with the Gladius sword and 2 daggers. Each weapon was of Common Rank only.Even as Yman was in front of the person in the counter, the person seemed to be unbothered and only showed him the total price while lifting
Yman asked Sistela about the current time before they going to enter the Underground Channel entrance.He nodded at her after her reply and reminded himself that he only had 2 hours to finish his intention in this place for the day.But Sistela has seemingly noticed something.Suddenly, her complaint was heard by him.At the moment he was wearing a cloak of black color. It covered his body like a robe. His mouth and nose were covered by a mask to get rid of the pungent smell that might invade his throat. The cloak and mask both had poison resistance.His enemies were poisonous creatures, so, it was only natural for him to dress such a way.. No one knows if when the danger would come. One could only realize a danger after they found themselves in a situation.Yman's lips extended into a smile after hearing her, then he cleared his throat and said: "It's not like that. The air
The Underground Channel entrance located at the west side of the city, under the bridge, and near the river-dam that streaming steadily towards the end. On the opposite side of the entrance, there was a big dumpsite area that could be seen a little distant from the river-dam. The place was known as West District.At the dumpsite, he could see some smokes that were flying towards the sky and resembles the clouds as they continued to hover higher.After Yman stepped in the entrance, he asked his deity to activate the radar.Sistela replied:He said: "It's not sudden. It's better to have a perfect mapping from the entrance towards the farthest area that we can reach." She questioned him.He scratched his face and replied: "Don't worry, we sure to leave the place before it happened.."Hearing what he said, she resigned then followed what he wants and activated the radar without further retorts.But she really was worried if she emp
Yman scratches his head and forced a dry laugh when he realized that the water passage was still too small for the monster to pass through.He remembered what Mrs. Merced (the woman who issued the quest) said to him. That when he reached the dead end, there was a hole where a person can pass through to his left side. But Yman could not see it, the hole that she mentioned.Suddenly, he heard Sistela's call: He then glanced at the map that was hanging steadily above him. He noticed a thin layer of the wall outline. Based on the map, it was located two steps away from his left side."Must be a camouflage." He muttered and summoned his spear from Cyber Storage..He then pokes the part where the thin layer on the map was shown. Yman narrowed his eyes when the wall that looks so sturdy bend inwardly like a piece of something soft like it was made of cloth, a camouflage cloth to be specific.|It's a well-made replica of the wall.| He thought. |But
Sistela warned after noticing the second Evil Rat made a wise leap in the air while opening its largemouth. Some green liquids were splattering around and looking like small particles of lights when they were hit by the illumination of brilliance from his holographic map.Yman narrowed his eyes. Even though this Evil Rat managed to avoid the ball-web traps, the smoke abled to hinder its vision.He summoned his strength and sent a stab to the leaping Evil Rat.Shing!-30 HP in the red text was visible in his vision when his stab was successfully landed on the Evil Rat's jaw, which followed by squeaking noises from the Evil Rat when the tip of Gladius sword dig in about 3 centimeters in its flesh.|20 defense!| Yman quickly calculated the enemy's defense based on the damage that he dealt it.He has 20 attacks and an additional 15 from the resonance with his deity and another 15 from his Gladius sword. It was 50 in total, but he only managed to take 30 of the monster's healt
Reflected in his eyes the shining image of the Evil Rat that was undergoing an evolution phase.The brilliance that envelopes its body had even brightened the place a little.Tsk! Yman as he gnashed his teeth. Never in his wildest dream to be able to see an actual evolution phase of a beast.Seemingly, beasts or monsters will undergo an evolution phase when their battle experience reached a certain threshold.Currently, Yman was downed on his butt on the cold pavement ground, while staring at the Evil Rat in surprised and without batting an eye. Sistela's voice rang in his ears which made him snapped from the shock and pulled him back to reality.He did not even notice his health points which now short of 150 points. After the tail whip attacked that landed on his back, -150 health points were taken from his health bar..He certainly questioned his luck. If seeing it from a different perspective, he might be lucky for witnessing such a rare event. But the situati
The other Elite members seemed like they were from the native of this world.Kesha glanced at the empty seat. The person whoowned it was still recovering at the moment. He was sent to the famous magical hospital in this city.Sadly, he had injured himself at that time when they fought the rank C+ Mustang Spider. But because of having great talents in magic and owning 4 different types of ability for being a fledgling trainee only was more than enough for him to acquire a seat as an Elite trainee without going through the test.Kesha could only sigh and prayed for his fast recovery.Next to her was a man with medium length red hair. He was sitting calmly while closing his eyes and arms across his chest. With his right leg on top of his left knee.. This person was no other than Mai's cousin, Brai.Kesha noted that this person was also a handsome man and was kind of mysterious. Unlike the infamous wastrel who only knows how to hurt his comrades.Everyone certainly thought that that guy
