Chapter 138

"I do remember storing some food before leaving my clan."

It took a moment for the group to let his words sink in. When they finally registered what Oliver said, their expressions lit up.

Alphonso sprang from his chair, excitement written all over his face. "You have food with you!? Why didn't you say so earlier!?" Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

Amber's composure shattered. "Right! Oliver, we've been starving here!"

"Hey Oliver, man we..." Alphonso looked at him expectant.

"Of course, I can share some with all of you, but..." Oliver paused, glancing at the pack of hungry wolves before him. He continued, "...you need to pay."

He rubbed his hands while eyeing them as potential customers.

"Pay? Pay what?" Evelyn could not help but ask.

"Well, it could be anything... you all must have brought some treasures and resources, right? How about sharing some of it?"

"What...?" Amber's mouth dropped open. She looked at him in shock. Trading simple food for treasures? It was outrageous! This was daylight robbery!

He wanted to trade simple food with treasures! How ridiculous was that? This was literal robbery!

She didn't think anyone would agree to this idea at all.

She expected everyone to balk at the idea, but reality surprised her.

Alphonso was the first to speak, his eyes carried a determined expression as he said, "Indeed, you are right. I, the heir of Fallen Heart Clan, am not shameless enough to just take your supplies without any payment."

He looked at Oliver and added, "How about one vitality-strengthening potion? Is that enough for one day's worth of food?"

Oliver hadn't expected him to agree so quickly. He was ready for resistance and would have given them the food anyway, but their willingness to trade stunned him. 'As expected of rich clan heirs,' he thought, eyes shining with newfound insight.

Indeed these people were the children of richest exorcists, they did not lack resources.

They were great customers!

"Of course!"

"Then, here you go." Alphonso produced a glass bottle containing a blue liquid and handed it over to Oliver.

"Pleasure doing business!" Oliver said, passing some food in return.

"The pleasure is all mine. Then pardon me..."

Alphonso went back to his chair and started eating the food elegantly.

Looking at him eating and hearing the sounds of eating, the sound of him chewing the food made them gulp subconsciously.

Having water element, breathing underwater was quite simple and natural to him. He was shocked the first time he tried it.

One of the toughest challenges came when Alison tasked him to meditate beneath a roaring waterfall. The force constantly pounded against his shoulders, but he sat with eyes closed, legs crossed, balancing his mind amid the chaos.

She had told him that it was necessary to nurture a calm mind and develop an extraordinary temperament as one should expect from a heir of a major clan.

Water was often related to calm, so an individual with water attributed espera must be calm when using it. At least that was what she believed and taught.

At first, his muscles screamed in protest, but gradually, he grew accustomed to the pressure, his body and mind becoming one with the torrent.

He found a certain peace in the water, a sense of belonging that grew stronger with each passing day. The water chamber slowly turned into his sanctuary where he would push himself to limits everyday and discover the true depth of his abilities.

"It's been 2 months now, you kids have made significant progress in this time span. I am impressed by you and your potential."

Alison was standing before the group of children seated in front of her.

Except for Bella.

When they questioned where she was, all they got as a reply was that she was training somewhere else due to her element's uniqueness and situation.

"Now then, it's been a long while since you lot have been training your elements continuously, so from now on, we will be moving on to a practical course of training." she stated.

"Practical course?"

"That's correct, it's time you put your elements to use and not just keep on training, it's better for you kids to start gaining experience and learn about real combat. The earlier it is, the better!" Alison said.

The group listened to her intently.

"Teacher, how are we going to do that?"

Alison looked at Amber who had asked and said in a light tone, "For this, elder Sigfor will be going to help you all."

'That geezer?' Daniel frowned. He had unpleasant memories with that old man.

"Mhm. Elder Sigfor, you see has a special element. It's called illusion, the element of illusion. And he is the one who will be helping you with it."

"Well then, he will fetch you guys soon, I have something to do so I will probably see you all later. Ah, right, Bella will be joining your practical training soon."

She said while leaving the bewildered group of children.

"I don't want that old bastard to be the the one teaching us. I fucking hate that two-faced snake." Daniel groaned.

"He's very crude and ill-mannered." Alphonso also commented lightly.

"Whatever, it's not like you guys can do anything about it." Amber scoffed.

"Do what?"

Suddenly, an old and hoarse voice sounded behind them, making everyone flinch in shock.
