Seagull flapped his wings happily

No nity, he could not change the fact that he was a cute Avian with a cuddly appearance In truth, Weed had to avert his eyes to avoid laughing at Seagull’s bright face and glistening eyes

Still, he kept focused, planning on taking advantage of Seagull’s goodpeople to extract as much information as he possibly could Weed’s instincts would not let hiolden one

“Seagull-nim, I have heard that you are the most renowned herbalist in Lavias”

“Huh? Ah, I’h you would not find a better looking, or cooler herbalist ahts any man, and it works especially well on the birdbrained Avians

Weed hunted in Barecan’s Crypt a little longer before setting out to return the grail to the Order of Freya Regrettably, he did not finish hunting in Balog’s Ruin, Gahet’s Holy Place or Secmail’s Relics But it was impossible to finish those all places by hirounds were Death Knights The other s, Succubi, Blood Ladies, and Blood Lords, were alleven for Weed

Those monsters noticed players instinctively, so he could notearlier to avoid Death Knights But he was thinking of leaving Lavias anyway, so he did not rocery store oas an Avian Weed kneell, but Weed was still treated like a stranger due to the Avian’s exceptionally short htness and one thousand Fruits of Heaven”

The market oas surprised

“Ohh, it’ll be pretty expensive if you’re buying that ht?”

“Hold, just for you Thank you for your patronage!”

The power of fame!

Weed had attained a faeons and finishi+ng maps With that, even the shopkeeper’s attitude toward hi else you need?”

“Could I get sos? Why would you need those?”

Avian eggs were kept and incubated in a separate area, since the Avians laid an enorg every day, so the quantity was uniinable Newly hatched Avians were no different froan to slowly gain the unique shape of an Avian When they turned 30, they could speak, gain a higher level of intelligence, and begin to live in cities

“I love nature as much as the Avians do, and I haven’t met a nobler race If I had the chance, I would humbly accept to become their father”

With that, Weed procured 300 Avian eggs

He could feel his sto at the theht these back to their parents?

Unfortunately, Avians did not have a close relationshi+p with their offspring No ive his and eat the was not only delicious, but also conferred an increase in health andskill

There was oneHall There was unfinished business, and it seenore

I will succeed this time

Weed threw open the doors and proceeded inside the training center

“Welcoreeted Weed cheerfully With his thick torso and powerful legs, the instructor looked quite peculiar for an Avian The smile abated and was replaced with a solenized Weed

“I see in your eyes show that you have gotten stronger Still, I’ll warn you again: if you fail, you could die Will you still take the challenge?”

“Yes”

Unable to resist the benefits of coe despite the danger The instructor took him to the dark entrance that led only to a pitch black corridor where one could not even see one’s own hands and feet Here, one could only survive by utilizing their other sense; s and their sense of touch

“If you fail, I won’t come to save you In that case, you’ll probably die If you want to leave a will, I’ll be happy to keep it for you”

“If you want one, I’ll give it to you on o inside”

Weed entered the dark tunnel, his sword ready in hand He had not walked far when…

weapon, Weed dodged instinctively at the sound and counterattacked

The brisk reaction of the wrist The flow of the air currents

Sparks fleith every strike of the sword, briefly illuled to see the vague silhouettes of his attackers, the engulfing darkness drowning hi wind tore at him Weed’s level may have risen, but the Steel Barbarians’ capability had also risen to match his Their coordinated attacks hid their weaknesses and ave hiht and forced hie Hit Miss

As soon as he chose which move to make, he was forced had tolike lightning As he overca kicked in and his body began to ed and countered the attacks with greater ferocity In fact, he ie where he occasionally had a free hand as he dealt with the ongoing blows

Weed ca balloons Definitively, the danger was greater this time around, and the Steel Barbarians’ speed was truly astonishi+ng, but once he was accustomed to the initial shock, the rest came easily…

A pattern There is a pattern in their movean to match hishis own sequence of movements

Water, I have to become fluid like water

Synchronized to the Barbarians’ nable wall to a ht, it felt like his heart was about to explode As his blood surged, his destructive strength began to break them one by one

er afraid of the Steel Barbarians They were no longer a threat

Within a span of 30 ed to destroy all hundred Steel Barbarians He collapsed onto the floor as he finished his deed, his chest heaving froasped for breath and tried toso His heart pounded wildly and his stas of hunger in his stomach

The dark hallway lit up and the rooster-like instructor appeared

The Avian’s face flickered with surprise as his gaze fell upon the re You are the first one to succeed in the second atte to be supported by the instructor’s wings

“Did I pass the Beginner Training Hall?”

“Of course!”

“If it’s not too much trouble, could you tell me how many people have passed this beforeabout the whole continent, you’re about the 400th”

There were about 3,800 people who had passed the Basic Training Hall They were the ones who had raised their stats by constantly hitting scarecrows for athe sheer determination and willpower one required to accoinner Training Hall was significantly less This was possibly because there wereHall, but the more likely reason was the difficulty of the test

Instead of thea scarecrow for aHall, one was required to understand the essence of fighting against groups

This could not be done by just anyone

Even after repeated failures, few have the will to continue trying after dying dozens of times That was the a Hall

Of course, the reell suited to its level of difficulty and incredible risk

“You have the potential to be a true fighter Do you have any intention of quitting your useless class and becohter? You will be able to equip any weapons Your punches and kicks will becoer too It is the secret class of a Martial Arts Practitioner”

e your class to secret class ‘Master Fighter’

You will be able to use special skills related to this class

You could raise Weapon Mastery furtherAttack and Vitality increases Do you wish to change your class?If you change your class, secret class ‘Legendary Moonlight Sculptor’ will automatically disappear

</tbody>

Only those who had an innate understanding of fighting could pass the Beginner Training Hall Knight, Archer or any other job could have its level raised using Weapon Mastery In addition, the ability to use any weapon and change the range attacks Spears for facing cavalry, powerful axes… All of it would be at his ith of attacks and his vitality would increase faster than with the other classes

Master Fighter

It was a reward offered only to those who had passed the Beginner Training Hall Most people would choose to becohter without hesitation

But…

Weed did not have to think about his answer Although he had acquired the Moonlight Sculptor class unintentionally and had rets initially, all of it was now in the past

The chares of the Sculptor class attracted hihter class was, his resolution did not waver

“I’ll keep my current job”

<tbody>

You have declined the offer to change your class

The instructor’s face was tinged with disappointment
