Chapter 330

Professor Beavle, upon seeing Yi-Han break another bracelet, asked with a curious tone, "Can I just break them from now on without releasing the curse? Wouldn't that be faster?"

"No, you can't," Yi-Han replied firmly while cleaning up the debris.

'I need to save them for when it really matters.'

Yi-Han carefully put away the remaining two bracelets. He planned to use them when there were important exams or when Professor Boladi threatened him with a knife, saying, "If you don't master the spin attribute perfectly by today, I'll kill you."

Baishada, a hunter from the , waited for Nillia in front of the Maykin family's residence after making an appointment. As a fellow hunter, he wanted to support the student who had enrolled in Einroguard and deliver the gifts his colleagues had asked him to bring. And...

'Can I ask how she got into the Maykin family's residence???'

Baishada looked up at the Maykin family's residence with a perplexed expression. He had no idea what trick she had used to stay inside. Did she threaten them with arrows??

"How the hell is she staying in there?" Baishada muttered.

Ghetse, a hunter from the , replied matter-of-factly, "Doesn't she have a friend from the Maykin family?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why would those arrogant nobles be friendly with the likes of us?"

"Sometimes there are nobles with the soul of a hunter, you know."

"What? Is there such a thing? I've never seen one."

"Excuse me...!" Some passing children shyly spoke to them.

The two hunters looked at them, wondering what was going on.

"Are you... are you perhaps from the Wasteland Stargazers??"

"That's right," Ghetse nodded. Baishada felt a deep envy at the sight.

Apart from the reputation of the Wasteland Stargazers, Ghetse always had a strangely profound and melancholic aura about him, no matter what he did.

'Is it a matter of angle?'

While Baishada was confused and checking his own angle, the children asked Ghetse for an autograph.

"Please write 'Wasteland Stargazers' here!"

"Here too! Please do it here too!"

"Now, now, calm down. I'm not going anywhere."

"..."

Baishada glanced at the children. However, the children didn't seem to recognize anything from Baishada's attire.

'Sob.'

"Thank you!"

After the children left, Ghetse said with a slightly tired tone, "I'm grateful that they recognize the name of the Wasteland Stargazers, but it feels heavy when they have such high expectations for me, who still has many shortcomings."

"That must be damn tiring," Baishada muttered. Ghetse was puzzled.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. Just that I envy the Wasteland Stargazers."

"Really? I envy the Shadow Patrol more."

"..."

For a moment, Baishada considered grabbing him by the collar. Is this bastard mocking me...

"The Shadow Patrol silently guards the northern mountain ranges without caring about false reputations. Compared to that, we... I understand the higher-ups' policy, but there are too many unnecessary visits from unrelated people."

"I... I see."

Baishada was happy to receive the compliment but also envious. Can't we just switch?

"Moreover, the Shadow Patrol even produced a student who enrolled in Einroguard. There must be many young hunters with outstanding talent."

"Ahem, ahem."

Baishada tried to manage his expression. Still, it didn't feel bad to hear him say that.

"Sorry for the long wait!" Nillia came running out from inside the main gate. As they were both from the Shadow Patrol, they could recognize each other at a glance. Baishada shook his head.

"We didn't wait long. You're Nillia, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Here, take this first. This is a gift from Pullam, who asked me to give it to you. This one is from Banda, who asked me to deliver it to you. And this... was it from Aial?"

"Th-thank you."

Nillia was deeply moved by the hometown gifts sent by her fellow Shadow Patrol members.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

"And who is this person?"

"His name is Ghetse, from the Wasteland Stargazers."

"What???"

Nillia gave a look that said, 'Why are you hanging out with someone like that?' Baishada hastily explained.

"He's a kind and excellent person. We worked together on a job recently."

"Ah, I see..."

Nillia nodded in understanding but still had a slightly doubtful look. Baishada decided to change the subject.

Is it magic?

"How did you become friends?" Baishada whispered to Nillia. Nillia replied in confusion.

"Just, just like that?"

"Just like that...!"

Baishada was thrilled by the answer that seemed profound.

He had once asked an outstanding archer, "How do you shoot so well?"

Come to think of it, that archer had also replied, "Just like that."

'She's really not an ordinary socialite. Amazing. Truly amazing.'

Baishada looked at Nillia with eyes filled with respect. Ghetse also looked at Nillia with interest.

"Being so friendly with nobles like that. Impressive."

"Someone from the Wasteland Stargazers shouldn't say that."

"There seems to be a misunderstanding. It's not like we get along particularly well with nobles. Nobles are always difficult to deal with."

Although the Wasteland Stargazers were widely known in the empire, they were still hunters in the end.

Naturally, they couldn't be accustomed to mingling with nobles.

At those words, Baishada suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

"But that social skill is interesting... If it's okay, I'd like to hear some advice. So that I can deal with them well in the future."

"Ah, no."

Nillia was flustered.

Why did the topic suddenly shift to 'learning Nillia's excellent social skills'?

And there was no such thing.

"There's nothing like that. I just put my heart into it..."

"Ooh...!"

"Ooh!"

While the three were chatting, Yi-Han, who had successfully released another artifact, looked up.

'Was Nillia a socially outstanding person?'

Yi-Han was puzzled but said nothing for the sake of his friend's honor.

"Oh, right. Nillia. Did you come to get useful artifacts?"

It was a casual remark, but Nillia perked up her ears and was grateful. She was so grateful that tears could be seen in the corners of her eyes.

Yi-Han was rather embarrassed.

'Did she need artifacts that badly?'

It's not like she's going to use them for business or anything, so why?

"Is it possible to get something that these hunter gentlemen can use?"

"Aha. So that's why... It shouldn't be difficult. Wait a moment. Let's go find some."

Yi-Han got up from his seat.

And he headed to where Tijiling and Priest Mehrid were.

"Useful artifacts, you say?"

Normally, they wouldn't allow them to be taken outside, but Priest Mehrid wasn't the type of person to flatly refuse a student who was as dedicated as Yi-Han.

And the order placed importance on cursed artifacts, not the ones that had been released from curses.

"You can pick a few from these and take them with you."

"Thank you!"

Although the two hunters behind her were having conversations like "What kind of connections does she have?" and "Isn't she a genius of eloquence?", which bothered her, Nillia tried hard to concentrate.

"Nillia. How about this one?"

Yi-Han held up a leather water bottle. He turned it upside down to empty the water inside, then set it upright and waited. The water slowly rose, sloshing.

It wasn't incredibly fast, but it wasn't unusable in real combat either.

Moreover, such water bottles were quite useful for hunters. When traversing mountain ranges, it was often difficult to find water.

Nillia asked in amazement, "It's good, isn't it? What kind of cursed water bottle is it?"

"I made it."

"..."

While others were struggling to turn a single page of a magic book, her friend was defeating a basilisk, the King of Ghouls, an undead chimera, and even creating artifacts.

Seeing this, Nillia reflected on herself.

'I need to live more diligently starting tomorrow...'
