Chapter 61 - Secret but not Secret Weapon. (2/2)
Shinja shook her head.
”No need, thanks to Krune, I have no need for any external help like pills anymore, I can breakthrough anytime, the reason we finished our training earlier was basically so that we could come back here and check with you if there is anywhere safe that the guild can provide while I'm going through the process.”
Lu Ganan heart almost stopped now.
'Did she say that she has no need for external help?'
One must know that the Makui Planet is a low level planet in the universe, their techniques and manuals aren't that good either if compared to the other planets out there, let's not even mention the big four, because of that, almost everyone in the planet needs external help like pills or other things to be able to pass the Core Formation Breakthrough, it's extremely rare for someone to try it with their own effort and nothing more, that can also be said to be one of the reasons why there is so little Divine Soul and even less Soul Forging cultivators in the planet, their foundations had been shaken by the pills and everything else they constantly use.
”Are you sure that you can get past this barrier with your own power?”
Shinja nodded.
Lu Ganan once more took a look at Krune, could it be because of his gift as well?
”Very well, let me contact the headquarters, they were expecting you to not be able to break through the Core Formation any time soon, this is going against the initial plans.”
This time there was no need to contact the headquarters privately, Lu Ganan simply linked everyone communicators together and got in contact with them, he had already reported to the guild that Krune was back, so they were already expecting for his call.
Except for Shinja, it was the first time that Krune and the others saw the Head of the Mercenary Guild in the Yule Continent, Bary, so they politely complimented him. Bary just nodded his head and waited for Lu Ganan to report everything first, after supervisor Lu explained what happened he waited for Barys answer.
”So Krune can't teach how to train others since this is just an ability of his, he can only train the contestants himself, as for Shinja, she can enter the Core Formation straight away, she just need a safe place provided by the guild for that.”
Bary sighed, although he doesn't know if Krune is speaking the truth or not, that doesn't matter, if he doesn't want to say, then the Mercenary Guild can't do anything about that, so he just accepted Krune's idea of having some of the teachers of the guild to watch while he trains the contestants to see if it really is impossible to learn.
He moved to the next topic after settling it.
”Shinja, could you delay your breakthrough until the end of the Martial Gathering? We have very few people who are capable of fighting at the high level, and you are the only one with a Universe Foundation at the right cultivation level at moment.”
Shinja shook her head.
”I can't, I have already accumulated enough spiritual energy in my body to do the breakthrough, if I delay this long it might damage my foundation. If you had told me that you wanted me to take part in the selection and the Martial Gathering, I would have slowed down and taken part in it, but now I can't anymore.”
Bary looked disappointed but he knew it was the truth, if you prepare everything for the breakthrough and decides to stop at the best moment, it might really affect your future, but Bary can't be blamed, he thought that she wouldn't be able to enter the Core Formation anymore after she left the Furiu Realm behind.
”Very well, I will send a few Core Formation Experts just to keep a look during the process, just find somewhere empty so that your tribulation won't hurt anyone and that will be okay, it should take two or three weeks to gather the personal.”
Shinja nodded and thanked him.
”Then it is settled, Krune will be leaving for the Headquarters in one month, as for the others, you can do whatever you want while he is out.”
Shinja and the others looked at each other and answered.
”We are going with Krune too.”
Bary just accepted, whether Krune went alone or not it didn't matter for him, as long as he keeps his part of the accord, everything is fine.
”Lu Ganan, I will leave the preparations for you to take care, as for Krune's payment, that will depend on the results of the selection in six months' time from now between the mercenary guilds of all continents.”
Supervisor Lu accepted the order and finished the video call.
Krune looked at Lu Ganan and said.
”Supervisor Lu, try to keep the fact that I'm training the contestants a secret, please.”
Lu Ganan nodded, unfortunately for Krune, he understood him wrongly.
---
A few days later, Krune was in a restaurant with everyone discussing about his travel to see his disciple when suddenly, news that the super genius Krune was going to teach the contestants for the Martial Gathering Selection started to spread like wildfire, when Krune saw that in a TV, he almost fainted, he immediately called supervisor Lu to ask what happened, for his surprise, Lu Ganan smiled and said.
”Don't worry, I made sure that no one other than the selected mercenary guild members will be able to see the training process, it will be kept a secret just like you want.
As for the fact that you will be the one teaching them, we made sure to let everyone know, credit has to be given after all, you don't need to worry about people not recognizing your efforts.”
Krune's eyes started tearing up, that wasn't it! That wasn't what he meant at all!
On the other hand, Lu Ganan thought that Krune was shedding tears of joy instead.
”Haha! No need to cry just because of that, this is our duty.”
He terminated the call and left Krune alone with his friends, Krune looked around and saw that Yusa and the others were trying their best to not laugh, but it was futile, seeing Krune's tears destroyed their last barrier, Yusa couldn't help but comment.
”Hey look, it's Krune, the mercenary guild's secret but not secret super weapon!”
Krune took a critical hit, it was very effective!
