Chapter 79 Experiment

Experiment.

[Ace POV],

I ignored Anna beside me, who appeared to be unsure of when to begin her life again, and focused on the texts on the panel in front of me that appeared after Anna chose her job while ignoring a certain male in the living room who kept staring at me several times.

.....

[A job only available to the brave, talented, and those in need of strength, with the requirement that the individual is talented in soul and beast arts. Perhaps the goal of a soul beast warrior is to seek strength, to have strength, or to discover and release their true selves. To advance to Rank 1, evolve, and show that you have the necessary qualifications to become a soul beast warrior, you must meet the following requirements],

.....

The primordial chronicle mentioned three main things here that drew my attention to why the Soul Beast Warrior was available for Anna.

According to the primordial chronicle, the job appeared because Anna is brave, talented, and she seeks strength.

The first prerequisite for someone to be eligible for this job is for her to be brave-or maybe for him since I'm not sure if this is a job that favors women or is female-oriented.

Now the question is, is Anna brave?

If I was asked that question, I would say yes.

To begin, what exactly is bravery?

Bravery is the quality or state of having or showing mental or moral strength to face danger, fear, or difficulty.

Another word for bravery is courageous since courage is the quality or state of being brave.

So, does Anna have this quality?

Without a doubt, she does.

It's been exactly five days, with today being the fifth, that I've been with Anna, beginning with the transparent crystal incident, so I'll be familiar with some of her features.

So the question of Anna's bravery resurfaces.

Yes, she is brave, as there aren't many girls who would risk their lives and face danger for another person when they could or had a chance of escaping, and yes, I'm talking about Anna, and this happened during the Asmodeus Serpent incident.

Though I don't say it, I know that Anna is the only reason I'm still alive today.

Perhaps if she hadn't rushed out of her hiding spot to attack the injured Asmodeus Serpent, there would have been two corpses on the floor instead of one.

Though the Asmodeus Serpent had been seriously injured by me and was likely to die soon, it was clear who had more vitality between us.

I was only level 1 at the time, and the Asmodeus Serpent was a few levels higher, so there was a high possibility the Asmodeus Serpent could have finished me off before dying, but that's not the point.

The point is that when the Asmodeus Serpent and I were fighting, the monster's attention was solely on me and not on Anna.

There's no way a serpent's sensory abilities, especially one as large as that, could have missed Anna, which meant Anna could have used this time to flee, but she didn't and risked her life to save mine.

The fact that I don't feel a strong attachment to my life or fear of dying does not mean, however, that I would want to die. It takes a lot of courage to face danger despite your fears when you know there's a high risk of dying so if I was been asked if Anna was brave then my answer would be yes.

Though I can't appreciate what she did since I can't feel the attachment, it's clear that Anna's attitude makes her a valuable teammate regardless of her strength. Of course, she will be more valuable if she is strong.

Thinking about this, I turned to look at Anna, who was staring at the panel in front of us with resentment in her eyes. Seeing this, I ignored her.

She's truly slow since I know that if she thinks about it enough, she'll realize that while fulfilling the job requirements is difficult, it's still slightly easy for her.

Based on what I've seen, requirement number two should be the second easiest of the requirements listed here, after requirement number one.

...

[Kill Unranked Monsters alone: [0/30]],

[Kill Rank 1 Monster with your summon/ tamed beast: [0/10]],

[Kill Rank 1 Monster alone: [0/5]],

[Kill Rank 1 Monster with a single hit: [0/1]],

....

The first requirement should be simple for Anna to complete at her level and with the feedback she just received from her summon after the contract was made. The second requirement, which is the second easiest out of all the requirements to complete, is made possible to complete by Anna's rank one summon strength.

It won't be difficult for her to complete if she looks carefully for suitable rank 1 monsters to battle.

As for the third and fourth requirements though, she's on her own. Perhaps if she gets more feedback from the crow as it levels up, and if she decides to level up with the primordial records she accumulates, she'll be able to finish it quickly as long as she looks for suitable monsters to hunt.

At least her job quest is 'easier' than mine. As I considered this, I called out the primordial chronicle in my head, and a new panel appeared in front of me. As soon as I saw this, I went to the job section and checked my progress toward completing my job quest. I also made my status public for Anna to see and she was drawn to it the moment it appeared.

.....

[Kill Unranked Monsters using Magic: [42/100]],

[Kill Rank 1 Monster using magic: [0/50]],

[Kill Rank 1 Monster with the aid of Alchemy: [0/30]],

[Kill Rank 1 Monster with a single hit with the aid of Alchemy: [0/1]],

[Time Limit: 50 Days: 0 Hours: 21 Minutes: 14 Seconds],

....

Aside from the first requirement, which has made some progress, the others remain in the dust There's the time limit also.

As I was thinking of this, I felt a hand on my back and turned to face Anna, who was still rubbing my back and looking at me with pity on her face.

"Don't worry, Ace," she said, "everything will be fine."

This.....

Did my job quest frighten her?

"But, seriously, what grade is your job?" Anna inquired.

Hearing this, I responded, saying;

"It's a Unique grade job," I stated.

"Unique grade? How great is it in comparison to legendary?" Anna inquired.

"I don't know, but based on our job quest, I'd say it's pretty high," I said as Anna continued to ask different questions to which I had answers for some and no answers for the rest or chose to ignore.

After getting rid of Anna, I returned my attention to her panel.

The talent here should be the primordial chronicle evaluation of Anna, and the third important thing of Anna seeking strength is self-explanatory since it is the reason she chose the soul beast warrior as her job in the first place.

Hmm, that reminds me, Anna should send a crow clone out to scout since we can't stay here forever. We'll leave immediately after everyone is done with their business.

I told Anna what I was thinking and she did what I suggested.

Perhaps Chris couldn't bear it any longer as he stood up and made his way to me. I waited for the 12-year-old boy in front of me to speak as I stared at him.

"Brother Ace! Please make me strong! "He abruptly said.

Ace: :|

Anna: :O

Emma: O.O

"What do you mean?" In response to the strange words, I asked.

Hearing this, he responded.

When I heard what he said, I finally understood where he was coming from. He stated that when he listened to Anna and my conversation about jobs, he learned something.

He discovered job grades when he overheard us discussing them, and he came because the highest job grade he was offered was epic.

That is pretty high. The problem is that I can't make you stronger since I can't even influence your primordial chronicle evaluation.....

Wait! What if I can do something?

Let's experiment.

I looked at Chris and spoke while thinking about this.

"Show me your primordial chronicle," I requested.

As soon as he heard this, he answered and a new panel appeared in front of me. I must say, I saw a lot of panels today.

Instead of looking at what was on the panel as soon as it appeared, I turned to Anna and spoke.

"Anna, could you please assist me with the guys outside? It's been a while since they've been here, and it's unclear what their goal is, so could you help me figure out what it is and what they want?" I said.

"No problem," Anna said simply as she walked outside.

I believe Anna should be safe with her summoned crow as long as it is not a rank 1 specie she encounters.

Thinking about this, I returned my attention to Chris's panel, recalling a specific item I have that could be useful in Chris's situation.
