47 Rewards (2/2)

”That's normal. Everyone does that after they come back from the wilderness.”, his mentor seemed to guess his feelings and appeased him, ” So now that you are back come meet me at the Beluga so you can get your missions rewards.”

After saying that he ended the call.

Ivan once again stood before the door of the Beluga. This time when he pushed open a waitress greeted him and offered to lead him to the room his mentor was located in. He wondered why the waitress didn't ask for his membership card like last time. To satisfy his curiosity he asked the waitress the question.

”You membership card is from this cafe and after you entered it connected with our system and informed us about your status and in your case your mentor. And since your mentor made the request to directly bring you to him in case you enter the cafe we know what to do.”, the woman patiently explained.

”Oh, then this only works for the cafe the card is from?”

”Yes, because of security reasons the card will only connect with the system of the home cafe.”

”Then if I enter another cafe I have to show my card?”

”Yes, and that is the only thing you have to do. So at another cafe you only have to inform the staff of your status. Anything else is unnecessary.”

It seemed like it was easy to stay anonym in other cafes than the home cafe but he wondered how they checked if the owner of the card was really the one holding it. But after thinking about it a bit he realized that there should be some kind of enchantment on the card that ensured it.

Before he could ask the waitress another question they arrived at the door to the room which she opened, leading him inside.

”You are here.”, his mentor greeted him and let his gaze rove over his body. He then nodded in satisfaction. ”Seems like the adventure did you good.”

Ivan didn't know how he arrived at this conclusion since he thought that he looked like always.

His bewilderment must have shown on his face since his mentor laughed and the waitress to let out a small giggle which she had tried to suppress unsuccessful.

Van Bergen looked at the waitress and asked, ”Do you want to tell him or should I?”

Seeing the way his mentor spoke to the waitress prompted him to take another look at her and he realized that she was the one that had brought them their drinks last time. He wasn't sure of her name but it seemed to be Julia or something like this.

”Then I will Sir.”, the waitress nodded at his mentor while smiling gently. When he saw that Ivan thought that there was something going on between them.

”It is your aura, Sir. When you came here before you didn't have any but now you do.”, seeing the lost look on his face she then continued to explain.

”Aura is what we call the subconscious effect we have on our surroundings. For example people that have killed will accumulate killing intent which then seeps into their surrounding creating the feeling of danger in others around them. But of course there are other things that make up your aura it is just that in most cases a persons aura contains at least killing intend as well a feeling of power.”
