Book 6: Chapter 114

Ryan stood in front of his window and gritted his teeth. He stared at the throngs of people entering and exiting the building, his gaze trained on Vurs back as the shirtless mans group walked towards the region of the advancement exam. An amber light flashed on Ryans wrist, and he glanced down at his root bracelet before bringing it up to his mouth.

Yes, Ive found someone your guild would definitely love to have, but hes not interested in joining your guild at all, Ryan said. The amber bracelet flashed, and Ryans eyes shifted as if he were reading a page of text in the air in front of him.

Yes, of course, Ryan said. His name is Vur Besteck. Hes powerful, and hes heading to the advancement exam right now. If you position some people at the fifth floors entrance, youll be sure to catch a glimpse of him.

The root bracelet flashed amber once more, and Ryan chuckled as he read the other partys response. Yes, absolutely. With such a large sum of geums, this information will be completely exclusive to your guild. Of course, there are a lot of people around, so its probably impossible to hide this from the other major guilds; you know how large the waves special candidates make can get when they rise up.

The amber bracelet flashed again, and Ryan exhaled. Thank you. I hope we can continue working together in the future, he said and lowered his hand. A few seconds later, he tapped on his root bracelet and waited; then, he brought it back up to his mouth. Hello, are you interested in purchasing some exclusive information about a promising candidate?Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

Upon arriving at the fourth floors advancement exam location, Vurs group was bombarded by people shouting and yelling.

Im a support who scored ninety-five points on the exam; Im looking to join a group of people whove gotten an average of ninety or above!

Looking for a non-braindead tank! Sixty points or higher!

A rattling sound echoed through the arena as one of the metal gates embedded in the walls rose. Lindyss squinted at the darkness and pointed a finger at the corridor. A tigers face came into view, stepping out from the shadows, and less than a second later, an earthen spike rose out of the ground and impaled the poor creatures head. With a shattering sound, its body cracked as if it were a broken mirror before dissolving like grains of sand in the wind.

Hey, Tafel said. Shouldnt you give Kax and Melody a chance to display their skills?

Therell be plenty of chances to do that in the future, Lindyss said and turned towards the next gate in the arena walls. Rattling sounds came out of it, and before it could fully open, Lindyss had already shot a few lightning bolts down the corridor from the tips of her finger. And as youve so wisely pointed out, we dont have anyone to act as a tank.

Fine, Tafel said and crossed her arms over her chest.

Melody cleared her throat and raised her hand. I dont mind.

Kax dont care, Kax said from Melodys side, nodding his head.

Great, its settled then, Lindyss said and smiled at Tafel. Why dont you fill the remaining gates with your phoenix flames? That way, youll get to practice with your flames, and whenever something spawns, itll die instantly.

Why does it seem like youre just too lazy to clear the stage yourself? Tafel asked but did what the cursed elf suggested anyway. A blood-red imprint appeared on her forehead, and balls of fire formed around her body before flying towards the remaining gates. The light from the flames illuminated the dark corridors, revealing small caves that didnt extend very far. When the gates rumbled, different creatures appeared out of thin air within the caves before instantly cracking like the tiger from earlier.

Melody scratched her head at the sight. The early levels of the tower were supposed to train her for tougher combat later on. If she skipped through the levels by riding the bus known as Feathered Serpent, wouldnt she be completely useless when it came to fighting higher up in the tower? Hopefully, the elf was right about there being plenty of chances for her to gain experience.
