Chapter 203

203 Mana Training

Naturally, Randy realized that even if he did not aid in the search, he would still get involved with the church’s request whether he wanted to or not since it appears that the time for departure for his first request might be the same as the time of the church’s search request based on the society leader’s enthusiastic words.

But Randy wondered why the society leader wanted him to partake in this search even though he was a new member of the society.

‘Is there some kind of benefit to this that I don’t know of? Even so, I don’t want to get involved with them since I killed a member of their church. Who knows what kind of abilities or skills they might utilize to search for the culprit in case they find out that their captain was truly dead.’

At this point, Randy sighed and then responded: “So my request would be hunting magical beasts near the Meistic forest? Alright, I will take it.”

The society leader’s murky blue eyes glowed when he heard his response, and then happily said: “Very good. Then I will...”

“Hey, Society leader, we’re back!”

At this time, someone shouted behind the door of the society leader’s office.

“Who?”

The society leader frowned in displeasure but instantly recognized the owner of the voice after a moment, and when he saw their appearance, he sighed helplessly and said: “Gutz, what are you doing here? Can’t you see that I have a guest with me right now?”

.....

“What? But aren’t we the only ones allowed in this room in the first place? Who could be so important... Oh? Who’s this guy?”

The society leader felt a headache watching his disrespectful behavior at this moment.

The bulky young man who seemed to be in his twenties walked into the room the next moment without a care. He proceeded to towards the society leader while ignoring his unwelcoming glare in his direction.

At this point, the bulky young man suddenly stopped and was staring straight at Randy with a curious gaze, especially when he noticed the well-defined muscles on his body that could still be seen under his black coat.

The bulky young man called Gutz commented: “Little brother, you have some nice muscles. How did you train your body to become like that? What’s your secret? Tell me.”

As he said this, he approached Randy and out of nowhere started touching him all over his body with a surprised look, making Randy feel very uncomfortable. However, he did not react much and held it in, mostly because he was now in front of the society leader. Not to mention, he had no idea how strong this guy truly was.

Although he could sense that his mana was not that great, he could feel some inexplicable aura emanating from his body. This kind of aura was not because of the mana inside his body, but something more distinct and unique. Randy could tell that this person might be a warrior-type dungeon hunter based on his body build and thus he did not dare to provoke them for no reason.

Bang!

“Gutz! Can you just stop!”

The society leader could not take it anymore, slammed his hand on the table in front of him, and shouted. He usually condoned his behavior as long he did not cross the line but to be this rude to his guest even if the other party looked younger than him, is quite outrageous.

“Hahaha!” Gutz laughed and pointed at Randy who had a poker face on, as if unperturbed, and said: “See? He doesn’t mind it, so why are you getting mad, old man?”

“You-”

At this moment, three other people walked into the room.

A handsome young man with blonde hair and green eyes, who also seemed to be in his twenties and adorning a full plate armor was the first to enter, and behind him was a beautiful pink-haired young woman with yellow eyes, who had skimpy clothes on that revealed her chest and long legs, and the last person was a little girl who seemed to be at most fifteen years old, adorning a blue and white robe with a hood on her silver-colored hair, her eyes were hidden under her hood, making it hard to see what color they were.

“Oi, Gutz, what are you doing inside the society leader’s room without knocking? Why are you the one always acting like a kid even though you’re clearly the oldest one among us?”

The handsome young man commented, then looked at Randy apologetically and said: “Nice to meet you. My name is Vairon, a knight. Sorry for my party member’s behavior. Ah, and these-

“No need. I will introduce myself. Little handsome, you can call me Tiana, I’m the healer of our party. If you need a healer, come to me in the future, and this girl is our magician, Eliana. Although she is a little aloof and unapproachable, she is actually a nice person.” The pink-haired woman smiled at Randy as she introduced herself and the girl beside her.

After they finished introducing themselves one after another, for some reason, the one girl with a small build, who was introduced as a magician was looking at Randy with a strange gaze, causing him to unconsciously turn in her direction when he felt her gaze on him and their eyes met with each other.

‘Why is she looking at me like that? Is something on my face?’ Randy unconsciously rubbed his face as he thought this. Finding nothing on his face, he pondered for a bit, and then ignored the little girl’s gaze, thinking that maybe they were just curious about him.

With that thought, he turned his gaze away and looked at the society leader with a questioning gaze. He did not bother to introduce himself to these people as he did not plan on spreading his name or making friends with them.

“Hahaha... Randy, right? Sorry about this. That would be all for now. You can take your leave now and make sure you get the details regarding the request from Zophia. As for the furs and fangs from the mission, you can also give them to her, she will take care of selling them for you.” The society leader said to him.

“I understand. I will take my leave now then.” Randy nodded and stood up to leave.

Hearing this, Gutz insisted and said: “Hey, little brother, why don’t you tell me your training routine before leaving?”

“Gutz! Can you stop bothering the society leader’s guest? Can’t you see that he does not like it?” The young woman with the revealing clothes said with a frown on her face.

The handsome young man chimed in with a stern expression: “That’s right, Gutz, we came here for a different reason, so please stop bothering that little brother.”

Gutz was silent for a moment before saying: “Tch, old man, who is he? Ah, he just left.”

When they were talking, Randy quickly walked past them and silently left the room.

When he walked past them, the little girl was still looking at him without averting her gaze, almost like she was not even trying to hide the fact that she was staring at him.

On the other hand, the young woman with revealing clothes beside her winked in his direction, causing Randy to scowl as he had no idea what these people were thinking.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

‘What strange people.’ Randy commented in his mind as he walked away.

With that taken care of, Randy went downstairs to get the full details regarding his first request from Zophia, and also, he decided to sell the furs and fangs that he brought back from the dungeon.

But before that, he informed Zophia that there were many of them and that her counter was not big enough to handle everything. Zophia was momentarily surprised but after recalling how long he spent inside the dungeon, she quickly brought him to the building’s storage room, which had many items and products inside.

Seeing that it was spacious enough, Randy took out all the fangs and furs from his spatial ring without including the mana cores for now.

Although Zophia was aware that he might have brought a lot more than required, she was still shocked when he saw the furs and fangs that he brought back from the dungeon, which seemed as if he had hunted ten of thousands of beasts to receive such reward.

Snapping out of her dazed expression, Zophia quickly went somewhere and then brought back a man who seem to specialize in appraising, selling, and buying items from the dungeon. When the man came, even he was dumbfounded by the sheer amount of furs and fangs that filled the entire room. Noticing their reaction, Randy felt like he should have held back some of them, but it was now too late.

Afterward, they gave him a deposit of 1,000 gold and said that the remaining price would be given to him after he returns back from his first request since there were a lot of furs and fangs.

With that out of the way, Randy eventually left the society’s building and made his way towards the destination of his mission which was a village near the Meistic forest. However, it was not the same village that Klara and the old man resided in.

Along the way, he saw a group of people most likely dungeon hunters as they were wearing armors. They seemed to be heading out somewhere, seemingly they were the ones who accepted the church’s request.

Randy ignored this group of people and walked away while pondering something to himself. Once he was far away from the city, he suddenly recalled the events from last night.
