The Big Four

"For reference how much does it cost"

"Three thousand gold for wound like yours"

"What! How can that be that much"

"Hey kid we don't run a charity here, How much do you think it cost us to train our people to become a full fledged Arbos Adherent"

Edward shoulder fell, He didn't think the treatment cost that much Fred only touch his hand for no more than five minutes after all.

If what Fred said is true that means he better change his fighting style as soon as possible, or he will sooner die under debt collector before demons can kill him

"How much the cost to train them anyway?"

Edward tried to ask the cost to avert his eyes from reality

"I have no idea either, Do you think I am in charge of the finance? The one think I know it cost a butload of money "

"That doesn't really answer my question"

"That's true, but does it really matter look to know that look at me I got no clue about that and my life is not affected that much or maybe you want to join our organization?"

Edward thought for a moment before asking Fred a question.

"How do I join Arbos Temple anyway"

"That's easy just register at the nearest Arbos Temple you can find, They will be happy to let you join our rank"

"That's really sound easy, but what's the catch?"

"Once you enter you can never get out, and they train you like crazy, there was not even a hint of luxury over there, the only meal serve was gruel, and they shave your head bald?"

"They shave your head bald, why?

"That was the tradition sice a long time ago"

"If that was true why aren't you bald?"

"Well I have finished the training kid so, I can grow my hair however I want again"

"How long was the training anyway"

"Let's say the fastest one ever recorded was three years"

"I think that life wasn't just for me"

"Alright kid, I understand"

"Why did you tell me the truth anyway, not to brag but, I am quite strong so, you can just say the good thing about Arbos Temple, and I probably join it in no time at all"

"Let's just say, The young me is an innocent boy, and I don't want to add the number of victim entering the temple without prior knowledge about it", Fred said while reminiscing about his past experience.

"Thank you, Fred"

"You are welcome kid"

"I am Edward by the way"

"Ka ha ha, okay Eddy"

"I think I will just stick to the kid"

"Alright, whatever you say Eddy"

Edward give up correcting Fred after that, instead he ask him a new question that he was so curious to ask

"Can you tell me about the hunter"

"Well well well, a curious one aren't you fine I suppose as there's no patient coming, and I have a free time I will humor you for now"

"Hunter is someone who hunts the demons ii this world, they mostly operate in the frontier city where the nearest demon territory located"

"To become a hunter you must pass a hunter examination in one of the frontier cities"

"Wait a second Fred, can you become a hunter before you enter the frontier city"

"Well, you can but if you have a high ranking hunter as relative and even so, you must be quite a genius to become hunter in that situation as the examination in that situation is even harder than normal one, The hunter guild won't tolerate a weakling in their rank after all why did you ask anyway"

"One of my friend is a hunter, and She was already a hunter … I think?"

"If what you said was true than that means she was a genius, what is her name?"

"Her name was Eris"

"Eris … Eris … I think I know that name from somewhere, what is her race anyway?"

"She was a dark elf"

Fred move his head right, and left trying to dig his memories.

"Eris and a dark elf … … … oh, Fred face lit up in realization"

"Do you know her?"

"I can't be sure before seeing her myself but I, think I know her I won't tell you though because it's rude to tell someone else identity if they don't give you permission yet"

"come on don't leave me hanging over here, at least give me a hint"

"Alright, alright, jeez kid these days so impatient"

Fred thought for a moment, "Let's just say her mother is a really high ranking hunter"

"I know that already, can you tell me another one"

"Sorry Eddy that as far as I can tell you, If you want to know so badly than just ask her yourself"

"Alright than I suppose you are right, Hey there's one last thing I want to know"

"What is it Eddy boy"

"What is that glowing thing you did to heal me?"

"Oh, that was a manifestation of the life energy but, we usually just call it Aura, it a must have ability if you want to survive in the frontier, you can do all crazy stuff as long as you master it"

"Wow that's cool can I do that"

"Of course you can as long as you have the talent of course"

Edward looked at Fred with pleading eyes, "Can you teach me please"

Fred refuse Edward straight away,"Sorry kid you are not part of Arbos Temple so, I can't teach you"

"If you can't teach me can you at least tell me where do I go to learn to use Aura"

Edward doesn't want to give up if he can't get Fred to teach him at least he could ask him another place where he can learn Aura.

"Well, there are many places to learn it from but the most famous one are Arbos Temple, Alchemist Association, Blacksmith Association and the Hunter Guild"

"Before we move on let me tell you the general explanation of each organization"

"First is the Arbos Temple as you know Arbos Temple specialize in Aura to heal but it was not our only specialization, we also proficient in using medical plants to heal a patient, you can buy a variety of potions and healing balm in Arbos Temple related store"

"Second is the alchemist association Their organization create all short of wondrous item by using demon parts and other things only found in the demon territory"

"The third is Blacksmith Association Their organization basically create all high grade weapon and armor that has a great compability with aura"

"Lastly is the Hunter guild, They manage all short of hunter related matter like hunter examination, demon subjugation, and Securing demon body part, medical plants, and all short of things found in the demon territory "

"As you guess, it the two association, and Arbos Temple secure their needed ingredient to create their product from the hunter guild, but that doesn't mean they can't secure their wanted ingredient by themselves it just easier to go to hunter guild to get them"

"The four big organization taught their member how to awaken their aura as soon as they become an official member"

"I recommend you to join Hunter guild and Arbos Temple "

"Didn't I just said I won't join the Temple why insist?"

Fred shrug his shoulder, "I am part of Arbos Temple Eddy it would be strange if I don't recommend it you know"

Edward thought for a moment, "Okay, that's true, but how about the hunter guild it is okay to join Arbos Temple and Hunter guild at the same time"

"Don't worry Eddy Hunter guild will welcome all short of people even if they are already in the different organization as long as you pass their examination"
