”A paid after all” Daniel thought while an odd s the forest, Daniel encountered the rest of his hunting party

”What is going on? Where are the bandits? And who the hell is that?!” Said Stueh

Daniel put the”Do you want so questions?” He then looked at the whole group and continued ”I've heard screa, so I rushed towards the forest About a hund” He explained everything that happened in detail

This tis, Fiora ”You are saying that you've sneaked up on a dual elementalist summoner?!” She asked incredulously

Garth, the old e about it we are hunters, aren't we?” Of the hunting party, he was the most adept with stealthy behaviour, as he needed to reach a certain distance tospears

The oldknives strapped on Daniel's thighs, and the exact height in which they were placed, which was perfect for someone experienced to easily take theinner at throwing knives

Differently, The two siblings were used to hunt in couple The girl would trap the prey with her bolas, and her brother would finish it with his greatsword Their approach was a direct one, while instead, Sella was an archer, so he didn't have a use for sneaking as close to the prey

Stueh looked at the bag that Daniel was holding on his right ars ”Is that the su?” He then asked, all of a sudden his look one of greed

A slightly disdainful srew on Daniel's face, he answered ”No, it's hers” Daniel had expected hi it over What made him so sure that he would be asked about it, was the dark red 962 floating above Stueh's head

He had noticed the kar party the very moment he had met them He was about to start a journey with these people, and knowing if one of them had bad intentions, wouldn certainly not hurt his had an overall neutral nuuessed that they had spent their ti missions within the Huntshtly positive

The only person who had a negative karma, was their escort

”Hmph” Stueh's eyes narrowed as he looked at the covered wo next to Daniel ”Who are you?” He then asked

The woman removed her cape, and as uncovered,her 'a woe, happened to be a beautiful girl that seemed to be in her mid teens Her body shape was coe was a spectacle to behold Her straight hair flowed down her back like a dark silver waterfall Her steep arched brows stood above natural swiping lashes Her deep set eyes enclosed a pair of ereen irises, inside wich, pupils as black as the coldest of nights could be seen

She had a serious expression, but it wasn't clear if that was caused by tiredness, or by her cold looking appearance

The young e took a slo ”My name is Yala I aroup and I were attacked early this ed to escape, but I was found out when I lit a fire Thank you for saving me” She said between heavy breaths

Theparty bowed in response, e any part in her rescue The only one that didn't boas the escort His eyes were stuck at Yala's beauty lust growing clearer by the moment

While nobody noticed them, Garth's hand moved close to the spears strapped to his back, and Daniel's hand approached the hilt of his sword

”Let's go back to the caroup had arrived at their camp

The eyes of Garth and Daniel had never left the escort's body They both understood fro, and the lust he didn't bother to hide for the fe soon

An additional reason for their alertness was that, in case he did try soh their mission, the escort would certainly try to silence the froe taboo Anyone accused of it, if found guilty, would be blacklisted froroups

Unfortunately, the escort was usually stronger than the rest of the partythe fact that they were trained and used to battle against other hu out the entire hunting party on their own, and get out of trouble by slightly injuring the that the rest of the party had perished during a sudden attack froroup of beasts

In that case, the escort would not be paid even if he delivered the beasts carcasses or beast cores, as it counted as failing his mission, but he wouldn't suffer any consequence either

When they reached the cae, Daniel said out loud ”It's Garth's turn to keep watch, she can use your tent, right?”

”Sure thing, kiddo” Said Garth promptly

A clear layer of frustration could be seen on Stueh's face He couldn't retort to any of their words, so he went back into his tent in silence

Daniel nodded at Garth, which smiled in response Then went back to his own tent

Time passed slowly as daniel sat quietly in his tent In front of him, three books, various herbs, and about a dozen beast cores of various ranks Tere rank 3 cores, while the re 9 were of rank 2 This, was the content of the su about herbs as he had never had a chance to study them, so he put them away for the moment He also put the beast cores away, as he had no intention of cultivating right now The only re in front of him, were the three books

On these three book covers, clear titles ritten in black These book's titles were -Fire Ele Whisp-, -Earth Eleic, Vol1-

It was the first tiic books He had never considered becoic was a world detached from his But since these books had fallen onto his lap he decided to try them out

The first book he decided to read, was the ic, Stone Skin Daniel was an agile person, and he was capable of reacting to a speed faster than others but he had never fought one on one against another martial practitioner of his level His entire preparation was his natural speed and the basic knowledge of
