Happy Reading~

===========

“Then I’ll excuse myself. I see my other friends have called me from a distance.” I said, intending to say goodbye.

Right now, I can’t continue to be where I am.

Otherwise, I can’t help but feel a bad feeling.

Don’t know why, but I feel like I can’t help but meet a woman.

’Saintess… I hope she’s not in this place.’ indeed, what I am worried about is none other than the Saintess.

If she were in this place, I’m sure she would definitely say my real name.

But fortunately, what I was worried about didn’t actually happen.

“Okay… Let’s meet again, Mr. Ian.”

’NO. I don’t want to see you again! Sorry Ian, I’ve made your name so famous that it’s like this.’

*step-* *step-* *step-*

As soon as I moved away from where Eris and Alicia were, I couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh.

Don’t know what happened, but I felt very helpless.

I felt like my fate as Noah was inevitable.

Maybe, one day Eris, she will find out my true identity.

But what? Should I be afraid?

Of course not!

Even though Eris knows my real name, can she believe that I’m Noah? Their childhood friends?

Impossible, right?

Therefore, I feel quite grateful that I have changed my last name.

Suddenly, I subconsciously felt someone touching my clothes.

“Mr. Noah? Are you okay?”

“Sai- I mean Aisha, what are you doing in this place?” for a moment, a hint of shock struck my heart.

Seriously, I just thought that this woman couldn’t possibly be around here.

But apparently, what I was hoping for just disappeared as if nothing had happened.

“Uh… Don’t worry. I know you are hiding your identity. Therefore, don’t make a face like that.”

“Is it true…?

“Yeah…”

Without realizing it, once again I couldn’t help but sigh in my heart.

I don’t know what happened, but I think my current fate sounds quite lucky.

I’m grateful, happy that Saintess didn’t reveal my real name.

Otherwise, I don’t know what to do in front of party hero.

“… How about your hunting? Did you get anything?” feeling awkward, I decided to make small talk a bit.

I know, know that it is impossible for the Saintess to speak first.

However, from the Saintess’ point of view, she really prioritized me.

She wanted me to ask first, not her.

“Yeah. But what we got was only gold and various other treasures. For us, these treasures were completely useless.”

’Useless? Why not just give it to someone else?’ even though I was annoyed, I still acted indifferent.

If I were them, it would be impossible for me to waste this much gold.

But what can I do?

I know, almost all the gold from the tomb belonged to class A students.

And for us, class E students, it is impossible for us to find something like gold and other treasures.

“So what are you going to do with this gold?”

“I don’t know. But all of this has been handed over to the hero.”

“I see… Whatever it is, do you intend to return now?” I don’t know why, but I unknowingly asked something I shouldn’t have asked.

“Eh? Is this an invitation for a date?”

“Don’t be kidding. I know you’re jealous, right? I’m in the lap between that woman’s legs.”

“Indeed… I felt annoyed when I saw you on the lap like that. Especially when approached by two women from the hero’s party.”

’Huh…? What do I have to do? There’s no way this woman is jealous of Eris, right?’ I thought, unable to keep asking myself.

I have to admit, I didn’t expect that women would feel jealous of Eris.

Judging from Saintess’ reaction, I admit she is very cute.

In fact, I couldn’t help but think about pinching the face of the Saintess.

But I didn’t.

In the end, I thought that it was impossible for the Saintess to let me pinch her cheeks.

“Oh… It turns out our Saintess can also be jealous~” I teased, trying to show a small grin on my face.

For a moment, a slight blush appeared on both of the Saintess’s cheeks.

“Shut up… You have to take responsibility. After all this is over, I won’t let you go.”

Without realizing it, Saintess, she suddenly returned from where she was.

’Not letting go huh… Well, let me see what you can do.’

[Ding! You have successfully completed the mission from the system. Obtained: 10,000 Talent Points.]

[Additional features unlocked: Combination.]

[Combination: This is a feature that can combine things into what you want. For example, when you have succeeded in defeating a monster shaped like wings. The system will automatically provide you with a method to fly. But as a condition, the back of the user’s back must have the wings of the monster you killed.]

“Oh… What is this? Another additional feature? But why can I complete my mission?” as if just realized what happened, I couldn’t help but ask.

I want to know, want to know how I can get the true inheritance of the owner of this tomb.

If I remember, the last time was before I fell out of my fainted.

I remembered about a Minotaur, which I somehow managed to defeat.

“It’s fine… As long as I successfully complete my mission. Why not? Rather than that, system, show me how many Talent Points I currently have.”

[Current Talent Points: 29,900.]

’29,000 thousand… Finally I can achieve my goal. After more than 1 month, I managed to increase my talent by one more level!’ I screamed in my heart, unable to stop myself from getting excited.

When I started my talent development in the Orange stage, I had been waiting for this moment to happen.

And now, I can finally cast this Orange stage talent!

For me, Orange stage talent is too weak.

If I had the Green talent, I wouldn’t need to feel any difficulty in my breakthrough.

[Talent upgrade from Orange stage to Green stage is available. Do you want?]

“Yeah. Upgrade for me.”

[Upgrade begins…]

[Ding! Successfully achieved Green stage talent.]

[Current Talent Points: 4,900.]

[User information:]

[Name: Noah Asford.]

[Talent: Green (can be upgraded using talent points).]

[Stage: Inner Core (Begin).]

[Magic: High.]

[Swordsmanship: Extreme.]

[Physique: Mid.]

“Wow… Is this what I got? Different from when I started my journey. The current me is much stronger.” I commented, unable to help but feel pleased.

I have to admit, my progress over the past month is far from what I thought.

If I were given more time, I don’t know what level I could reach.

At most, my power level could reach the Upper Inner Core stage?

But who knows?

Ever since I broke through the Inner Core stage, I felt like I had reached my limit.

I feel, as if my strength cannot develop any further.

But since my talent has improved, I think I can break through at any time.

Just look, the aura around me, I can feel an unreasonable overflow.

’I’ll break through… But I need a quiet place.’ I thought, endlessly trying to look around.

Not long after, I chose to step around the trees.

It could say, this is a tree that is quite large.

With the roots of this tree, it was enough to hide one’s whereabouts.

“Now I can break through. I hope nothing bothers me.”

After that, I decided to cover my eyes.

As I sank into my subconscious, I saw that my inner core was constantly changing.

Don’t know why, but I feel like this core is about to turn into something.

’Land? What’s this?’ I asked, unable to help but feel curious.

Maybe it’s true, at first I felt panicked.

But I couldn’t do anything, didn’t feel anything strange.

If indeed this change affected my strength, I would definitely choose to stop my breakthrough from the start.

’Eh? Green roots?’ for a moment, I couldn’t help but be surprised by something.

Don’t know what happened, but I saw my inner core grow a little green root.

It’s just that, I don’t know why I can grow seeds like this.

I thought, would it be possible for every adept to grow something like a plant within themselves?

Of course not, right?

*Open-*

Suddenly, I unknowingly woke up from my meditation.

“This feeling… Mid Layer? Have I reached the Middle Layer of the Inner Core?” I asked, constantly checking myself.

Luckily, what I thought actually happened.

Currently, I have successfully reached the Mid layer of the Inner Core stage.

For now, I no longer need to feel intimidated.

If one day I encounter a monster above the fourth rank, I don’t need to feel troubled.

At most, I just need to kill the monster in one hit.

Still, I knew that it was impossible for me to kill a fifth rank monster.

If forced, I couldn’t choose to activate the Berserker power.

With Berserker’s strength, I knew I would definitely succeed in defeating a fifth rank monster.
