Chapter 4: Spatial Tool

The fallen Likra is huge and should have many valuables.

Zhen heard the eyes and hide of a magical beast is precious as it could make much useful stuff such as armor from those game forums.

'Sigh, I must be dumb enough to not ask Sara how to deal with this type of situation. Surely, she can't be dumb like me as she's a native here.'

Facepalming for not asking a native in this type of situation, Zhen turned to look at Sara.

"Sara how are we going to handle this Likra."

Sara, who is still thinking about Zhen touching her leg and healing, didn't hear his question.

So Zhen repeated his word again with a louder tone but not the yelling type.

Sara who finally regained consciousness replied lightly.

"When there is a fallen magical beast, we usually store it in a spatial tool to prevent the beast from being contaminated and it will be convenient for an adventurer to carry it back. But those who are poor can't afford a spatial tool so usually, they have 3-4 people carrying it while applying wind elements around it."

'Spatial tools exist in this world. As expected of a fantasy world, but if I recall correctly, the spatial tool is related to space and space can be considered a type of irregular element.'

Knowing how this is not much different from those RPG games, Zhen decided to try something out.

Zhen tries to concentrate on space and see if he can store the Likra with his magic.

While Zhen is concentrating on using space elements to create a separate dimension to store the Likra, the hidden core inside starts to blink and follow the flow of concentration of mana from Zhen.

At this moment, Zhen waved his hand and the Likra started flowing upward and with a flick, the Likra disappeared into a dimension that was created.

Meanwhile, Sara had her mouth wide open and was dumbstruck by what Zhen just did.

Her knowledge of what Zhen did requires a person to be rank 6 and above to be able to create a separate dimension to store stuff.

Not to mention, it requires the person to be proficient in space element and she had noticed that Zhen used wind elements to fly, water elements to heal her injuries, and now space element to store.

'This meant that he is an irregular with three elements and he was proficient in them.'

Sara was shocked by her conclusion and decided to stare at Zhen more thoroughly this time.

Zhen looks like he was around 16-19 which means he is a genius that can match up with Luca when he was young.

Luca was a renowned person in the Ten Continent of Glory due to his miraculous magic and achievement.

A person ranking is the same as a magical beast where it is 1-9 and to advance for a person is 100 times harder than a magical beast.

That is because of the difference between a magical beast body and a human body.

Magical beasts were born with a natural structure to condense and contain a vast amount of mana inside it.

But the human body is different as they are not as strong as a magical beast, it is harder to condense the mana into a core where the core would allow a person to officially become a rank 1.

Just this step alone can take 10-20 years to complete because one misstep would make the person's body bloated with mana and risk exploding all the cells inside.

There are genius and hardworking people that managed to condense a core because of magical herbs and pills but those are extremely expensive and only those of the middle-high class family can afford.

This is the main reason why an alchemist is a sacred occupation that is welcome everywhere.

'But here we have Zhen who just did what a rank 7 can do and with ease at that while being so young.'

Sara was too shocked to be able to witness another person that is capable of becoming another Luca.

However, Zhen remained oblivious and thought everyone could do what he just did.

After all, how was he supposed to know all of this since he just came to this world without a day even passing?

It's like asking a student that just started studying law to defend a victim.

Sara looked at Zhen like he's a god while saying, "You are a ... rrrrank 7 mage?"

Zhen was still unknown on the amazing display he just showcased so he replied with a confusing look.

"What is a rank 7 mage?"

He only heard of the magical beast rank and Kuro is too much of a snob to inform me of a person's rank due to his constant teasing along the journey.

Sara started explaining the rank to Zhen while wondering if he just fell from the sky, otherwise, how could he not know something that even children know.

Honestly, Sara's luck should be no less than Zhen as her first guess was right on the mark and she will know about this later on.

You know, only families share secrets, especially during the night. You'll get the meaning.

Zhen had no intention of explaining why he didn't know the basic knowledge, shrugged his shoulders, and gave a random lie like hitting his head and lost most of his memories.

Sara was still doubtful but decided not to pry as it is his secret and if he were willing, he would inform her in due time.

Anyway, Sara started explaining what Zhen did was abnormal and showed him a spatial ring which is the most common spatial tool to store stuff into a dimension.

Zhen noted the information and made sure to not show off whatever he thought of something into action lest people might hunt him down for an experiment.

After some conversation with Sara, Zhen found out that she was from the Town of Ash, a coincidence or a God-given gift for him.

Sara is a silver adventure whose parents owned an inn in the town.

"The inn is a pretty popular area for tourists and adventurers to rest as the room is cozy and food is delicious."

Sara explained about her family inn in detail for Zhen in hope that he will go to hers and not others.

Speaking of food, Zhen is starving so he asked Sara where he could sell the Likra for money and whether he can stay in her inn.

"There is a butcherer in town whose occupation is specifically on the magical beast that adventure hunts. Everyone in town knows him as his work is excellent and we all call him Uncle Davis. Also, if you want the best food in town, our inn is the best, even better than some restaurants."

Sara answered his question with a smile that could bring disaster to an entire kingdom.

With a cheeky smile, Zhen replied, "That's good to know because I am currently broke so going to Uncle Davis and selling my Likra will get me money to stay in your inn and try out some specialties. By the way, I'm pretty sure the customers all go there just for your beauty, Sara."

Sara blushed by the teasing done by Zhen and pinched his waist by saying, "Don't speak nonsense."

Zhen can't help but have a smirking expression since he knew this girl will soon become his wife based on her attitude.

If she didn't like him then the teasing Zhen just did would have been a smack to the face or a face filled with disgust.

'The test is a success and a seed is planted.'

Zhen is not some playboy but he loves Sara a lot because of her kind nature and a bright personality that he never experienced on Earth.

People on Earth are full of hypocrisy and the females always aim at males with a good background while treating those who have nothing like trash.

'To be honest, her beautiful face and figure also add more to the point and if I don't lust after this, then I might as well be gay.'

Zhen justified his action of advancing toward Sara with this explanation of him.

'Not to mention, her eyes did not show any disgust or disdain when she met me, a first for me besides that person taking care of me.'

This was the crucial point where Zhen loved to be in the company of Sara.

Just like that, they started traveling back to the town with Kuro guarding Zhen and Sara while Zhen continued to tease Sara and take some advantages at times.

His waist is already numb by the number of times being pinched but it was all worth it.

During this time, Zhen found out that Sara came out alone because she didn't want to form a party that is full of dishonest men and there are too few females being an adventurer.

She came out to complete a mission to find a rare herb called Cacilla and encountered the Likra and you know what happened next.

At this moment, Zhen finally saw a gate to the town with two guards standing like a statue while many different kinds of people enter and leave.
