"You are right. Something is definitely wrong," Mattimeo agreed. "Let's find the village first and figure out what's going on."Standing atop the mountain, they scanned the land below, searching for any sign of a settlement."There, to the east." Mattimeo pointed into the distance. "I can see smoke rising, and what looks like a clearing. I can't make it out clearly from here, but it's our best lead since we don't have any other clues.""That's right," the others agreed.They climbed down the mountain and headed straight east.The moment they disappeared into the forest, a black-cloaked figure stepped out from behind the trees and walked to the foot of the mountain.His gaze swept across the bodies of the dead Ravens scattered across the ground, his expression unreadable. After a brief silence, he lifted his eyes toward the east."Seems like they're headed to Nezz."His eyes drifted back to the fallen Ravens."I will make them pay."********"It's getting late. We should camp somewhere

The Ravens crackled wildly as they circled the group above the mountain, but they neither attacked nor came any closer.Mia called Bubu back."Looks beautiful," Mattimeo said, admiring the large black eagle with its striking blue neck."Isn't he? His name is Bubu, and he's my first summon." Mia smiled.Mattimeo couldn't help but fantasize about becoming a summoner again."Matt, you haven't taken the summoner test, right?" she asked."No. I only have a mid-grade talent," he replied."But you know you're different," she insisted."How's he any different? As long as you don't have a high-grade spiritual root, you don't have any chance at all," Ezekiel said.He was right, though. But that was assuming Mattimeo was a normal person. He didn't even have a spiritual root to begin with.He decided he was going to take the test, but where was he going to get his hands on the testing artifact? Those things were kept under extremely tight security."The Ravens are coming down," Zaki announced."M

"This bitch again," Zaki snorted."Language, Zaki. Just ignore her," Mia said softly.Everyone did exactly that, making Rosalie and her friends look like fools when no one responded to their mockery. The gate coordinates were changed to the Nezz region, and the four walked into the blue dimensional gate hand in hand.They stepped through the dimensional gate.They appeared in a forest clearing."I guess this is the Nezz region. Now all we have to do is find the village. Hopefully, it's not too far away," Mattimeo said.They wandered through the forest."There should have been a map or something," Mia said."Yes, sometimes there is, if the region is well documented. Clearly, Nezz Village isn't, or we would have been given a mini-map," Ezekiel replied."There's a mountain over there. We just have to climb it, and we'll find Nezz Village or another nearby village," Mattimeo said calmly.The group headed toward the mountain. They were halfway there when a massive black raven suddenly swoo

Bell Tristocolar Square.A massive crowd had gathered there. Adventurers, guild members, disciples, and even students from prestigious academies filled the square, their voices blending into a constant roar. Weapons of every shape and size gleamed beneath the sunlight, creating an atmosphere thick with anticipation.Mattimeo and his group stepped into the bustling square, their eyes wandering across the sea of people and the countless weapons hanging from belts, backs, and waists.Then something suddenly occurred to Mattimeo."Mia, you don't have any weapons, right?" he asked."Don't worry. My master gave me plenty of quality weapons. I even have armor hidden beneath my clothes," she replied.Mattimeo nodded in relief. He knew Mia hadn't arrived at the sect carrying a weapon, and until this moment, the thought hadn't even crossed his mind. Seeing everyone openly armed had finally reminded him.As for him, the rusted sword at his side was more than enough. He only needed something to a

"Suckers, you'd better pray there isn't a next time!" Zaki shouted as they walked away."Forget about them. Ezekiel, have you picked a mission yet?" Mattimeo asked."No. Why do you ask?" Ezekiel replied."We already picked one, but it's meant for four people, and we're short by one," Mattimeo said."Alright. Let me take a look."Mattimeo handed him the mission slip.Ezekiel read through it carefully. When he finished, he gave a small nod."Looks like something we can handle. I'm in.""That's all I needed to hear. I also borrowed some ingredients from Lady Aurora and made a few pills," Mattimeo added."That was very thoughtful of you, Matt."The four of them walked over to the counter to register the mission. An old man sat behind it, attending to a few other disciples. After waiting for several minutes, their turn finally came.The old man took the mission slip and read through it."I should warn the four of you that there's a possibility this mission was evaluated incorrectly. It may

Two youths were shoving another young man around. Their emblems marked them as inner disciples.The other youth was clearly an outer disciple, judging by the emblem stitched onto his robe.Mattimeo recognized him immediately.Nicholas.They weren't friends, but they weren't enemies either. In fact, Nicholas was one of the few people in the clan who had never bullied him.A surge of anger flared through Mattimeo as he strode toward the two inner disciples."Those bastards! They should pick someone their own size.""Don't fight them, Mattimeo. I'll try talking to them first." Zaki grabbed his arm."Let me handle this."Zaki stepped forward, with Mattimeo close behind."What's going on here, pals?" he asked, looking at the two youths."Who are you? Get lost. This is a matter concerning the Rose brothers, and no outsiders are allowed to interfere," one of them snapped."Well, the person you're trying to beat up belongs to our group. If you can't explain what he did, then you'd better let
