Nighttime.All the trainees were exhausted. Today had been a hard day for them. Though they completed their tasks and earned contribution points, it was still far from what they truly needed.Meanwhile, Aaron sat inside his tent, examining the storage bags he had taken from the werewolf team he had killed.He opened the first bag and found it filled with dried food, a pair of cloaks, and disturbing materials, blood, internal organs, and other remnants that appeared to be extracted from a human.The sight was eerie. Aaron had never encountered anything like it before.He took a deep breath and opened the second storage bag. It contained similar contents.Then he opened the last bag.Inside, he found-- Torn pages- Sulphur- Candles- Bottles filled with blue powder- Animal teeth- Creature eyes preserved in jars- More cloaks- Dried food- An oil barrel- And five bottles filled with blood-red potionAaron stared at the items, his heart filled with conflict.These materials were use

Mumba was stunned, then quickly handed over his weapon.Aaron took the sword and said calmly, "My Basic Sword Technique is at the highest realm."He looked around and spotted a heap of leaves that had fallen from the trees the day before.He pointed at them. "Pick as many leaves as you want in both hands and throw them toward me."Rumba blinked in disbelief. "Lord Aaron… you mean we can all throw leaves at you, and you’ll cut them all?"Aaron replied with a faint smile, "Something like that. I’ll satisfy your curiosity, but after this, you must practice seriously."On the other side, Melina’s team stood froze when they heard Lord Aaron's arrogant words.No one in this world dared to claim they had perfected the Basic Sword Technique. So the Rose Guards looked at Lord Aaron, who stood with a confident expression on his face.Rumba and the other guards began throwing handfuls of leaves. In the next second, they witnessed an astonishing scene.There was only a blur, as if Lord Aaron had

Since there was nothing to see, Aaron thought for a moment, then took out three wooden bowls.Under Elina’s stunned gaze, he poured out a handful of lychees.He handed her a bowl and said, "Here, eat this."Elisa smiled and replied, "Then I won’t be polite with you."She began peeling the skin and started eating with delight.Aaron walked over to the driver and said, "Mr. Driver, here, eat this. It’s a boring journey."Alket was stunned. He looked at the bowl of fruit, then turned to see his companion already enjoying hers.He accepted the bowl and said in a hoarse tone, "Thank you."Aaron replied, "It’s okay. Just peel the outer layer before eating. And remember, there’s a big seed inside, so spit it out."Alket had never been treated this way before. He worked for the Bloodstone family, and in his ten years of service, no one had ever offered him food let alone spoken to him with such kindness.Most people were either intimidated by his voice or treated him like a mere driver.He fo

Elina said, "As you can see, we’re currently in the outer city. Here, you can easily find rides and inns if you need to stay. But safety at night isn’t guaranteed, especially for outsiders. Some bandits tend to loot travelers after dark."Aaron nodded, his eyes scanning the people around him. He noticed many wore white cloaks, a detail that caught his attention.As he followed Elina, he could smell the faint fragrance of blooming flowers lining the roadside, a refreshing scent that lingered in the air.He also saw glowing crystals embedded along the path,casting a soft orange light that made the city feel magical.He couldn’t help but ask, "Miss Elina, can I buy those glowing stones?"Elina raised an eyebrow. "You want to take them back to your territory, don’t you?"Aaron nodded.She replied, "You can visit the Teline River, just a few kilometers from here. Fishermen sell them at cheap prices."Aaron’s eyes lit up. "What’s the cost of one?"Elina explained, "It varies based on the g

A few minutes later, Aaron watched the construction of the magic circle with a look of fascination on his face.The circle was drawn in the shape of a star, with a ring at its center.He didn’t recognize most of the materials used, but he noticed candles placed at the five points of the star each one lit with care.After lighting the candles, Viola took a deep breath and said, "Lord Aaron, please carefully step into this part of the magic circle."Aaron followed her instructions, stepping into one of the triangles formed by the star.Viola and Elisa stood in two opposite triangles facing him.Then both women began to chant:"Light! Light! Light! The guiding light of contract, please come forth and oversee our oath."As they finished speaking, the candlelight dimmed, and the magic circle began to glow and burn.At the center, a flash of bright light erupted, and from it emerged a small, fairy-like creature.Aaron was stunned. The fairy looked just like the ones he’d seen in animated sh
