Chapter 20
Linas eyes sank.
After gazing at Ian for a moment, she suddenly disappeared through a portal.
A ripple of mild surprise spread around.
Hasnt Lina changed lately?
She seems a little, or rather, quite aggressive.
Did you see how she glared at Ian earlier? Theres definitely something going on between them.
The whispers about Linas transformation ended up reaching Ian.
Hey, did you guys hear those rumors from Kirtos? When Ian jumped off
Various rumors started to circulate briefly. The final team had arrived.nove(l)bi(n.)com
Gerald Bomel, an instructor and former war hero, finished his evaluation. He then approached the gathered students.
Were you all surprised?
Your answers are weak.
Yes!
Whispers of that old b*stard could be heard among the students, but it didnt reach the instructors ears.
Making quick and accurate judgments even in times of surprise. This is what combat is all about. I believe you all have learned something.
Ian nodded his head.
Thanks to that, he would get a good grade, the logical conclusion.
Next, youll be facing quite dangerous monsters. Even though theyre engineered with magic, their realism is quite high. They can cause serious injuries, so be prepared. Thats all!
And so, the first practical combat training was concluded, and the teams were assigned.
It will be perfect if I go and eat, train, write in my journal, and sleep.
Training never stops, no matter what happens during the day.
With this enjoyable thought in mind, Ian walked.
Oops!
He bumped into someone.
Sorry Oh, its you, Silvia.
Blink blink.
Her cat-like violet eyes blinked twice in quick succession.
Oh, its you, Silvia? What a rude reaction, isnt it? If youre going to apologize, you should do it all the way.
Anyway, you werent looking where you were going either. Its 50-50.
Huh?
Silvias eyes widened. To be honest, Ian thought that he was being a bit too brazen right now. It was a somewhat calculated action.
Silvia tends to like people who live on their own terms.
To be precise, she admired people who lived on their own terms.
It could be attributed to the counteraction of the strict etiquette training received by the daughters of prestigious families.
Thats why Ian maintained a confident, or rather, somewhat brazen attitude in front of Silvia.
But does the Aether class do their training here too? Speed Run?
Hmph! Is that even possible? Were going to deal with monsters right away.
Monsters? What kind of monsters?
Grade 5 Danger Type, Frost Bear.
Grade 5. It meant a monster that could single-handedly raze a small city. By the way, a Frost Bear, huh? Thats quite a strong start, isnt it?
Isnt it different from ordinary classes?
Silvia chuckled with her hand over her mouth. She seemed like a genuine fantasy world noble daughter, and it was a bit annoying.
Due to her personality, Silvia had strong self-esteem. Perhaps it was because she was still upset about the mud incident, but
Ian wasnt one to back down so easily.
Yeah. After you put on your mud mask, we chant Omtoke! Omtoke! just like the high-level Aether class.
That thats!
Silvia was about to argue something but gave up on her logic and jumped into a mud fight.
Hmph. So youre a washing machine, then?
Washing machine?
Frost Bear.
Certainly, it was a monster that could only be encountered in specific regions.
In the game, you had to defeat it to advance the story
But in reality, its a different story. Of course, the monsters byproducts might have some value, but it was not worth the risk.
Therefore, there probably werent many individuals crazy enough to venture into the territory of that massive beast.
But I am different.
Through playing the game, one inevitably acquired knowledge about a wide variety of monsters. With repeated gameplay, you could naturally learn their patterns down to the second.
A subtle smile crept across Ians face.
I can sell the information I know.
Selling information.
It didnt sound like a bad idea at all.
Moreover, there was a significant advantage to this kind of venture.
There was no need to establish a physical store, hire employees, or make an initial investment. All that was required was a platform to access the information stored in his mind.
This meant that it didnt rely on Pongpongs decimated bank account.
But trustworthiness will be important.
Buying information ultimately boiled down to trusting the person providing it. However, Pongpongs body presented the worst possible condition for building trust.
True, even you might not know about it, do you? Information regarding the Frost Bear.
These thoughts naturally occurred to him.
If its Silvia, shes the heir to the Laurent family.
Even though shes been overshadowed by the heroine, Emilias position as the top student, it doesnt diminish Silvias abilities.
Shes good at calculations and has business acumen, but most importantly, she knows how to repay a debt.
Ian crossed his arms and continued his calculations.
Moreover, since the Frost Bear has become a subject of study for Aether students, the information about it was likely to be disclosed.
It means that the value of information will decrease.
Now might be the prime time for information about the Frost Bear.
Plus, there was someone right in front of him who desperately needed it.
Investing in Silvia seemed like a good idea to Ian.
Come here for a moment.
Yes?
Silvia, with narrowed eyes, approached cautiously.
Was this guy trying to confess his feelings?
Ian knew exactly what that expression meant.
However, Ian had no qualms.
He had information that could be sold at the highest price right now. There was no need to haggle.
He would simply hand over the information initially, like pushing dr*gs into an unsuspecting neighborhood.
Just like spreading drugs to places where people dont know about drugs, at first they just give out information purely.
Exploit the Frost Bears ears.
What are you talking about?
The Frost Bears weak point is the area behind its ears, where the muscles connect to its head. While the rest of its body is covered with tough fur, this area is different. Its particularly significant because the mechanism that generates its ice elemental powers is located there. You can neutralize abilities like its ice barriers or roar.
Silvia blinked with a bewildered look in her eyes.
It was too specific to dismiss as nonsense, and Ian wasnt someone she would trust without reason.
Why are you telling me this?
Just because I want to win against you in a verbal fight, even if just for a moment.
Are you crazy?
Even if I were, the information is real.
Doubt, surprise, hope
A mixture of complex expressions filled Silvias face.
Now, go gather a team quickly.
Ian urged her to leave with a push on her back.
