"This is…" The middle-aged man was shocked seeing Yale was an anomaly. The reputation was still the same as ever because the middle-aged man immediately looked at him with pity. "Are you sure you want to become an adventurer?"
"Yes. Is that a problem?" Yale answered with a calm expression as he had gotten used to something like this.
He even looked at Albert as if signaling him to go forward.
When Yale pulled his hand, the crystal returned to its original state, so Albert could immediately get assessed.
Albert knew what Yale was thinking, so he immediately placed his hand on top of the crystal.
What he saw was more absurd because there was a rainbow vortex inside the crystal. Although its size was smaller than Yale's, the colors meant Albert had more elements in his body. He was an anomaly among anomalies.
This was proof that what Albert said was the truth. Yale felt a bit proud to know that his teacher was the ruler of elements.
Yale slammed the table and glared at the middle-aged man. "Why did you think I had him as a teacher?"
It was clear for the guy that Yale chose Albert because he might learn how to wield his two elements simultaneously, meaning Yale might be a peerless adventurer. If he didn't allow him to continue, the latter might bear this grudge and find him several years later when he grew up.
He immediately picked up two small bolts and plugged them in their tokens. "We are done here. You can proceed!"
The guy didn't want to anger these two anymore because their future might be limitless. And Yale's pressure also helped to smoothen the entire process.
"Alright. We're done." Yale smiled and stepped back. "Thank you."
Without hesitation, they immediately reached the door on the opposite side as they found a big empty hall made of stone.
Unlike the previous fox, this female fox looked a bit more human. She had slightly yellow skin, but her body features looked similar to Yale.
Other than the skin color, the red-colored tail, and the pointed ears above her head, she would be mistaken as a human.
"Hmm?" The female fox frowned and said, "You two are the new guys here?"
While she doubted them, Albert took the liberty to check her status.
Name: May
Race: Fox
Level: 70
Gender: Female
"Yes. Is there a problem?" Yale wasn't afraid to speak of, not caring whether they wanted him to stop or not.
"No." The female shook her head and said, "Either way, the test is simple. I am May, a C Rank Adventurer. I am here to check your rank, that's all. So, you're free to attack me with everything you've got."
"Hoh? Are you suggesting that we attack you together?" Yale narrowed his eyes.
"Of course. Is that a problem?" May asked. Even though she was an employee here, she was still the Pride Kingdom's citizen. She also had her arrogance.
"I just want to ask one question. Are you sure we can use everything?" Albert finally opened his mouth for the first time.
"Yes," May confirmed it without hesitation.
"That's good." Albert immediately moved to the corner and put down his bag. Because Yale told him they shouldn't show the Space Element easily, the Bats were hanging on their waist, so he pulled it with a serious face. "I'm ready."
Seeing Albert was so eager to fight her, Yale put down his bag and moved toward his teacher.
"Are you sure you want to use that as your weapon?" May doubted that the wooden bat was enough to stop her sword.
However, Albert simply stated, "At the very least, I know that you won't be able to cut down this bat."
"That's a big word… But I like it. I hope that you have the strength to back up that word." May smiled.
"Yeah, yeah." Albert shrugged and said, "So, when do we start?"
"We can start now. The moment you move toward me, I will respond immediately." May answered nonchalantly.
Yale and Albert exchanged looks and nods.
It was at that moment the two immediately charged toward the woman.
Albert came to her right and struck her sword while Yale tried to hit the woman from the opposite direction.
Still, May was as strong as Yennex, so she skillfully hit both of their Bonk Bats in succession, knocking them away.
"!!!" Yale widened his eyes as he didn't feel the force generated from the bat again. He tried to channel his power into the bat again, but they clashed with each other.
He ended up taking a few steps back while assessing his current situation.
'What? I couldn't use my power anymore? Wait a minute. Teacher said this power is effective against those who are horny… Does that mean I can't use this power if the enemy is not horny?
'If that's the case, every chance will be precious. I need to learn how to harmonize them in each chance, so I can wield this power without the help of horny targets…' Yale immediately analyzed his situation accurately.
He couldn't ask Albert about this in this place after all, lest he gave away that information to May.
'In that case, I will try to fight her with my physical ability alone.' Yale took a deep breath and charged again.
In the meantime, Albert had been waving his bat according to his Bonkmanship, trying to create a gap in her defense.
"Hmm?" May raised her eyebrows. "There seems to be something backing your weapon. I see. At the very least, you have some sort of technique. This alone guarantees you an F Rank.
"However, I don't think you want to stop, so let's continue. If you can impress me more, I will try to give you a better assessment." May smirked.
When she was talking, Yale tried to launch a sneak attack from her blind spot. But she managed to find him easily with the help of her ears and immediately turned around, striking Yale's bat.
Yale managed to hold the sword back for a second, allowing Albert to swing his bat without any defense.
Unfortunately for them, May didn't hold back against them. She leaped into the air and kicked Albert on the face.
The latter managed to raise his Bonk Bat in time, so he ended up getting pushed back several feet away.
She then applied more pressure on Yale and started overpowering him until she thought the power was enough before pulling back.
Yale immediately lost his balance and took a step forward.
In that instant, May struck Yale's bat two times, blowing him away.
"Oh? Those bats seem to be made of good-quality wood. It doesn't even have a scratch despite taking my attack." May was impressed by the Bonk Bats.
'Hmph. This is the Bonk Bat Bonkey provided. It's unbreakable.' Albert snorted and took this test more seriously. He didn't plan to start from the bottom because he needed a stronger opponent to increase his level quicker.
'Bonk Arrow.' Albert raised his hand and summoned another Bat next to him before shooting it at May's face.
"Magic?" May widened her eyes and immediately ducked down before striking the bat from below, launching it to the ceiling. Surprisingly, the bat soon disappeared.
Yale took this surprise as his chance to attack May again. However, the latter simply raised her foot and kicked him.
"This is why you shouldn't use a wooden bat. I won't be afraid of it because it's not sharp enough to injure me." May laughed, giving them a piece of advice.
"Hoh? Those words… I am afraid you will regret saying those words." Albert frowned, feeling offended. No matter what, this Bonk Bat was his ultimate weapon and the only one he could use. So, he needed to take pride in this weapon.
Yale also didn't like her statement because this bat was the weapon that allowed him to wield both elements simultaneously.
"Yale… I will show you why you will still call me Teacher." Albert smirked and charged forward.
Yale widened his eyes, never expecting Albert to show such a side. But since Albert planned to attack her, he also moved forward, matching his movement.
The moment Albert reached May, he used 'Swift Bonk' to hit her, albeit May was still faster than him and easily repelled it.
Yale also attacked her from the side to make sure there was no gap for May to hit both of them.
But the most important thing was Albert's plan.
Suddenly, Albert took out something before throwing it at May.
"!!!" May was surprised and slashed the thing that turned out to be a vial containing a purple liquid without hesitation.
However, the content of the vial was splashed on her face. She ended up taking a few steps back while gritting her teeth. "What? What did you just throw? You should know that killing people here is illegal, especially with poison."
But Albert simply smiled and said, "Who said it's poison?"
"Not poison?" May widened her eyes before her body started trembling. She started sniffing the sweet smell from the liquid. "This is… Aphrodisiac!"
Her body started reacting as she began to flinch.
"Someone from my previous town actually sneaked this thing into my bag…" Albert shrugged. "I didn't throw it away because I thought this was useful."
He had learned that instead of throwing the viagra, he should have used it this way to artificially make the others horny. Of course, it was easier to use the aphrodisiac because the one he possessed only needed the other to smell it.
He was thankful to Lustville Town for providing him a bit of knowledge about viagra and aphrodisiac.
"You're using an underhanded method. You bastard!" May gritted her teeth.
"Will you say that in a life and death battle?" Albert smirked as the notification he had been waiting for finally arrived.
[Horny Target: 1]
[Bonk Bat is amplified.]
Yale was staring at Albert with a dumbfounded expression. "Now I know that I am still too naive, Teacher."
"I taught you everything you know, not everything I know. You need to learn more about Bonk, Yale." Albert chuckled.
Because the opponent was horny again, Yale's power suddenly became harmonized again.
The light and darkness immediately covered his Bonk Bat, releasing a quite powerful pressure.
Albert used Bonk Dash without hesitation as his skill was usable because the opponent was horny.
"I will show why I'm your teacher." Albert arrived next to May in an instant.
May clenched her sword tighter and struck Albert's Bonk Bat.
However, the Bonk Bat had become more powerful. The moment the two weapons clashed, the Bonk Bat generated the force that blew her away.
"What?" May was surprised, never expecting Albert had the strength to launch her like this. After all, Albert was supposed to be weaker than Yale.
Even then, a powerful level 70 expert wasn't that easy to defeat. For the first time since the start of the battle, May took the initiative to attack Albert.
"Since you're a bad guy, I won't hold back against you!" May struck Albert's Bonk Bat. Her sword had been covered with green-colored light.
Seeing that, Albert immediately used his Pulverization. The lightning gathered in the tip of his bat as he struck May's sword. "Ha!"
The two clashed as both of them released a powerful element from their weapons.
The Pulverization spread around the green-colored light and dispersed it. However, the force behind the light was still enough to blow him away.
The same applied to her because she couldn't contain the Bonk power.
Bam.
Both of them hit the wall at the same time.
Albert took a deep breath while feeling the slight pain caused by the collision. He looked at May, who had a better condition than him.
'As expected from a level 70 expert, it's not that easy to fight her.' Albert smiled, feeling a bit excited about this match. 'Still, I will bonk her… Hopefully, I get the EXP from that.'
