110 Dark Guild (Part 1)

Anna came back after five minutes with a plate full of food.

After giving the food plate to Evan and telling Valery will be here after some time she left him alone.

Evan sat down on the bed again, and while eating thought about Carlos.

Whenever he thought about the transformation of Carlos he felt like something was wrong with him.

"I am feeling like it was not a skill but something else that he used to transform himself" Evan muttered while taking a bite from the meat steak.

Even though he was feeling there was something wrong with Carlos currently, his main problem was something else.

"Dark guild," Evan said because he still remembered Valery called Carlos someone from the dark guild.

Evan wanted to know more about the dark guild from Valery.

Even though he doesn't want to get involve in this matter, now that he killed Carlos he knew there might be some problems for him because of this.

So he wanted he get a better understanding of them so that he can prepare himself for any unexpected situation.

"If this dark guild is a big guild like silver star guild, it will be very easy for them to target me since I am still pretty weak" Evan grumbled in an annoyed tone.

He knew after finding Carlos is dead the people who send him will try to investigate what happened there.

Since Valery has a big background it is obvious they will target him to find out what happened there.

"I need to gather more cores quickly and get my monarch core to C rank," Evan said with a pondering expression on his face.

Unlike others as long as he can get cores he will be able to breakthrough without any problems. He doesn't need to stabilize his core and foundation after the breakthrough.

The only thing that he needs is cores and he will be able to improve rapidly.

After five minutes he finished the food in the plate and put it away beside the empty fruit basket.

After he was done eating Evan thought about his next plan.

Along with gathering cores, he was also planning to get a skill that will improve his eyesight and can help him see things at a long distance.

He was thinking about the combination of his dimensional shadow bullet, and a skill that can improve his eyesight.

With a skill, that can help him see things at a long distance, he can become a perfect sniper with his dimensional shadow bullet.

Just like how he killed the ice troll in the dungeon he was thinking about killing high-rank monsters from a long distance.

As long as the monster doesn't notice him he was sure that even a B rank monster won't be able to survive against the full power of the dimensional shadow bullet.

If he can kill high-rank monsters this way, he will be able to get high-rank cores, and his improvement speed will be faster.

"There is also the practical exam of the academy" Evan rubbed his temples when he remembered about the hunter exam.

Professors Elena told him the result of the exam will determine who will represent Astrate academy in the hunter tournament this year.

Evan wanted to take part in this tournament because each year there will be a huge reward for the hunters who perform well in the tournament.

From artifacts to cores, there will be many rewards for the hunters who will perform well in the tournament.

"If I want to take part in this tournament, I will have to perform well in the practical exam" Evan muttered and wondered what kind of practical exam the academy is preparing for them.

Elena told him a few days ago he will have to work in a team with one person, and this time the exam will be different from the previous year.

Clang-!

Evan suddenly heard the sound of the door opening and he come out of his thoughts.

The door of the room opened, and he saw Valery coming in.

She was wearing black jeans and a green shirt, and Evan noticed her face was still a little pale.

When he saw her pale face he remembered how she used something and her power was increased to B rank.

"You sure took your time before waking up," Valery said to him after entering the room.

She dragged the stool that was hidden behind the desk where fruits were placed and sat down on it.

"I did a lot of work because the person with me was completely useless, so it is natural for me to take a good rest," Evan said in a sarcastic tone.

When Valery heard him her mouth twitched, but she wasn't able to refute him.

She wasn't able to do anything when they entered the ruins because her power was reduced to that of a D rank hunter, and even though she fought against Carlos she wasn't able to stop him.

Seeing the twitching mouth of Valery Evan sneered.

Seeing Evan's sneering expression Valery sighed,

"I am sorry, because of me you almost died there" Valery apologized to Evan genuion voice.

Evan didn't expect Valery to apologize to him and was stunned for a moment. Even though Carlos came to capture Valery, Evan knew it was his decision to go into the frost-world dungeon with her.

Valery did not force him to go there with her so he did not expect her to apologize to him.

'If you are apologizing shouldn't you show some sincerity' Evan thought and wondered if he should ask for a reward like some C rank cores.

But Evan discarded that thought, although he felt his skin is quite thick, even he felt it will be embarrassing to ask for a reward when someone is apologizing to him even though it was not her fault.

"You don't need to apologize, it was my decision to go into the frost world dungeon with you, and now I am facing the result of my own decision," Evan said and shook his head.

Hearing this Valery also smiled and nodded her head.

After a moment Evan asked Valery, "can you tell me about this dark guild"
