Chapter 37: Mina and Hannah

He's right. The other talents were also unlocked.

On his alchemy, he needed to increase his proficiency in level 10 in order to unlock the Vitality Potion recipe.

To increase his proficiency, he had to synthesize potions repeatedly. For now, only the Rank D Health Regeneration potion was available on the list, since his proficiency was still at level 0.

But before that, he needed to gather the materials. Some materials were available at the market, while some were not.

Yeman stood up.

"Let's go," he said to his pet.

"Uh-uh, my lord, this guy, don't need?" The Elder Priest asked while pointing to the rat entangled by tattered leather cloth.

"Later, we need to deal with the lord of this sewer first. And it almost morning, I don't want to invite any potential problem in the future." Said Yeman while he ambled towards the deepest part of the sewer.

For Yeman, he wanted to solo kill the lord to get higher exp, not just a share. If he teamed up with others, the exp he would get would be divided into many folds. It wasn't good for someone like him that needed to level up.

But of course, if he found out that he was no match against the lord of rats, he would escape and retreat then teamed up with others.

For now, he needed to figure it himself.

"Okay, my lord," said the Elder Priest.

After Yeman and Elder Priest left, the rats around raced towards the two items that he threw.

They rumbled to snatch the item from the first rat who took it. Until all of them joined the rumbled.

At this moment outside the sewer. All the recruited soldiers were busy readying themselves for the upcoming battle.

Ronny was anxious since his nephew didn't come back. That kid only asked him to stroll outside but he never came back after that. What if something bad had happened to him? Ronny couldn't sit still.

He wasn't able to take a nap either while thinking about what might have happened to his nephew. He regretted to allow him strolling outside.

At this time almost everyone was already awake. They were checking their equipment to be sure that everything is in order.

Hah~

He let a mouthful of smoke to depart from his mouth. Then, he stood up and walked towards the hole.

Even the cold girl named Mina darted her eyes from her to there. As of now, that guy didn't show up. She would give him a good beating when he came back. She already warned him, but he still did what he wanted. Mina doesn't like that guy's way of thinking.

Even though he had that kind of invisible skill, but Mina already had a breakthrough from the apprentice. And she believed that that kind of invisible skill would be easy for her to perceive from now. He couldn't trick her again.

Mina was currently a Bronze-Grade Assassin. She was able to breakthrough after using Magic Cryst that she got from one of the rats.

After her rank up she learned new skill and she felt stronger than before. Now she was excited to try her new strength.

"Congrats," a sudden voice from someone she knew for long. But the owner of this voice was the less she expected to say such a word to her.

She glanced to her left side and saw the beautiful girl with golden hair. It was Hannah. This girl was supposed to be her best friend.

But because of a misunderstanding, their friendship had been ruined. So it's unnatural for this girl to say congrats to her.

"Congrats for what?" Mina asked.

"Both," Hannah replied then left Mina standing still.

Such a simple word. But Mina knew what she meant by it.

|That girl! Until now she still believes that there is something going on between me and that guy?|

|Wait, don't tell me she still holds feelings on that guy? That's impossible! After learning that that guy had no aptitude with magic. Her family disallowed her to be close to that guy. So why she still acting like that? What is the real reason for Hannah's sudden change?|

|Before we went into the academy, her mouth wouldn't stop telling a story about her and the guy she loved.|

|But, suddenly, after entering the academy, she changed a lot. At first, our friendship was still fine.|

|Everything had changed after Hannah saw me talking with that guy alone, inside one of the academy rooms. But that guy just wanted my help.|

|After that I heard that Hannah rejected that guy again and again.|

|If she really likes that guy, why she rejected him? And if she doesn't like him anymore, why she still acting that towards me?|

|She supposed to stop liking him after knowing that that guy had no aptitude with magic. Noble families were ruled by power. So it was impossible for someone like him to get her hand to begin with.|

Hah~

Mina let out a sigh. She couldn't think of a reason for the sudden change of her best friend.

She bit her lips then walked towards the hole. Where the other recruited soldiers were gathered.

It was almost time for them to enter the sewer. And everyone seemed ready. They just waiting for the commander's signal.

At this moment, Yeman had already engaged himself in a battle between the lord of rats.

|Fufu, it looks like my sneak skill is useless to this big guy.| he thought as he flipped his body backward to avoid the incoming sword thrust that was coming from above.

"This monster! Even though with that kind of plump body, still able to jump 20 meters above the ground!" Yeman grumbled.

The room they were fighting was like one of the rooms he passed by. Cylinders could be seen in every corner of the room. He wondered if some experiments had been done in this place.

|Why so many signs of an experiment left in here?| he thought.

To begin with, how could such animals become like this? Rats were supposed to be small animals. Which afraid of humans. But how in this world that the rats have such body?! They could even wield a weapon that usually wields by humans.

Even Yeman doesn't know what to think of this world.

Ooooooowwwwwwwwooorrrrr!!! The lord rat charge towards him while brandishing his greatsword in full force.

He dove to his left to avoid. Which followed by a loud bang when the greatsword hit the ground. A large pit had been created from the lord's attack.

|Tsk! Why this rat wearing gold armor anyway?| he questioned himself.
