46 The Calm before the Great Storm!
"What do you mean by 'as you expected' and 'really true'? Is she already trained to become a fighter or warrior before?" Mikhail frowned and asked his grimoire.
*TING*
No, she is not.
Master could see that her movement is full of hesitation, slow and rigid. It means that she had never been trained by anyone.
What grimoire meant is that grimoire already detected it when she followed Master at the top of the building before. But grimoire was not completely sure until now.
"What do you mean? What did you detect just now? Stop beating around the bush and be clear with it!" Mikhail complained to grimoire.
*TING*
That little girl, Lumina possessed a God's body!
It is a legendary physique especially made for battle.
It's really unfortunate that she had never been trained before if she was, she would have already reached the hero level at the very least.
"HERO LEVEL AT THE VERY LEAST??!! What the real f*ck is she? A sa*yan race's prodigy or something?" Mikhail shocked in disbelief.
*TING*
Grimoire does not know what Master is talking about, but whatever it is, that little girl is probably even more monstrous than Master's imagination.
Each time that little girl fights, she will keep growing stronger with each passing moment.
As long as her will is not extinguished, she would not go down no matter what it took.
Her body is as tough as reinforced steel and each time she takes any damage, her body will be reinforced even further.
Her wound could regenerate quickly and the stronger she is the faster her regeneration will be later, even if her limbs are cut off, it could regenerate and grow again.
Of course, she will be dead if her head is chopped off but that is the only way to kill her!
On earth's myth, the one existence that is closest to that little girl is the half human and half god, the one called Hercules.
"SH*T… What the hell is that overpowered setting! That is clearly cheating! Also, that kind of overpowering physique should belong to the main character like me, isn't it?" Mikhail stared at Lumina full of envy but when he thought about it once again, he felt really comical, that a little girl like her, had the strength that could rival the legendary Hercules.
*TING*
So Master is saying that Master is the main character?
"Of course I am! In all the stories and movies, the ones that gathered the team are the leader and the main character!" Mikhail explained to grimoire.
*TING*
Well… Even though it is a godly physique, but it also has its own weakness.
The biggest and crucial weakness is that, because the physique is too powerful, it has been oppressing her soul down, it resulted in hindering her soul's growth even until now.
She might look like a 13-15 years old girl but her mind is still at 6-7 years old.
In short, she is really strong and at the same time very dumb.
"Sigh… Now, I don't even know if I should envy her or not! By the way, how rare is that God's body?" Mikhail sighed while she stared at Lumina in pity.
*TING*
The possibility of possessing god's body is around one in ten billion.
"TEN billion??!! It is far easier to win a lottery rather than get that God's body! So the god's body possessor is still cheating after all!!!" Mikhail exclaimed bitterly.
*TING*
Congratulations! Master, you have gained an amazing tool!
If you trained her well, she would become a great doll that fights for you in the future! Moreover, because she is dumb, she would not betray Master in the future and would follow whatever Master said.
"How could you say something cruel like that so easily? Well, you are a grimoire so I guess you don't really have a heart!" Mikhail said to the grimoire coldly.
*TING*
Then grimoire will rephrase it.
Congratulations! Master, you have gained a new pet!
"…" Mikhail did not want to talk to this sadistic grimoire anymore and ignored it, while he walked with Reina and Lumina out from the large iron cage.
Actually, grimoire did not really mean what it said but it only wanted to watch Mikhail's reaction. Grimoire was satisfied when it saw that Mikhail is not going to use Lumina like what it described.
On the contrary, it actually triggered his competitor's spirit. After all, no men want to be protected by a little girl and no men want to be weaker than a little girl.
The officer congratulated Mikhail, Reina, and Lumina for their success in passing the test while he kept on praising their strength.
Then the officer gave a copper badge to each of them as a sign that they already joined as members of the mercenary guild. The officer explained that the badge could be upgraded to a higher one if they could defeat a higher level origin beast and bring their origin cores or their bodies as proof.
They will get the bronze badge if they defeat any boss level origin beasts.
The silver badge if they defeat any commander level origin beasts.
The gold badge is when they defeat any captain level origin beasts.
Lastly, they will get the platinum badge if they defeat any admiral level origin beasts.
Moreover, the higher badge they have, the more benefits they could get. Such as discounted price when they buy weapons or armors, authority to command the city guards, and many more.
"What if we could defeat general level or hero level? Do we get another badge upgrade again?" Mikhail asked curiously.
"Ahahaha… If you could defeat the general level, it means that you are already at the holy seven's successor level! You do not need any badge to prove yourself again by then. Anyone would be able to recognize you in a single glance! As for hero level, if you really could defeat it then it means that you are already on par with the holy seven themselves!" The officer laughed at Mikhail like he heard some funny joke from Mikhail.
"So after platinum badge warriors, there is holy seven's successor. And lastly, the holy seven themselves!" Mikhail smiled excitedly.
The officer escorted Mikhail and the others back to the lobby. Mikhail sold some of his origin cores for some money while trading a few gold coins to a smaller change so he could use it conveniently.
Mikhail, Reina, and Lumina bid the officer farewell and all of them stepped out from Mercenary Guild building. After that, they went sight-seeing around the town happily and entered a luxurious restaurant beside the road to eat.
...
However, at the City Lord's place, the mood is not as happy as Mikhail and the others.
PRANG… CLANK… PRANG… CRACK…
The City Lord, Ron Rudolf threw some pots and vases to the ground in anger.
"THAT BASTARD AGAIN!!! I WILL KILL HIM! NO, I MUST KILL HIM NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES!!!" Ron shouted loudly full of anger and malice.
"And you all!!! What is the use in keeping all of you, if you could not even guard my slaves! What's more, you just let them retreat at the front door like an idiot!" Ron kicked the guard's captain several times, but because he lacked strength, the guard's captain barely feels anything.
"Please calm down City Lord! That black haired guy is really strong even if we manage to find out that they would come out from the front entrance, we still would not be able to do anything at all! He could even slay the two boss-level warriors that we hired alone! Our only option to defeat him is with the help of Master Kevin and his elite guards!" the Guard's captain answered to Ron while he kept on kneeling and bowed down.
"Hmph… That idiot adopted bastard child dare to go out and brought all his elite guards without my permission! I will be sure to punish him harshly once he returns to my city!" Ron gritted his teeth in anger while he kicked some nearby chair.
"City Lord please stay calm! Master Kevin will come back tomorrow and the first thing that we must do is to ask for his help to slay this criminal as soon as possible!" The guard's captain calmed Ron while reminded him.
"Heh… I really must admit that bastard is still having some of his uses after all! One more day… Just one more day and you will be dead for sure… Then that beautiful white-haired goddess will be mine, Ron Rudolf, alone! Hehehe… AHAHAHAHA…" Ron gripped his hand hard while laughing out loud.
