Sitting at his desk in his apartment, Esther quickly wrote a report to the organization's 'Holy Serpent Society'.

I've found the right way to communicate with the 'Masked Man' and have made initial contact with the application, things are going well, everything is under my control, I'm going to continue to contact the Masked Man, and then, gradually test his perception of the Order, and try to influence him to approve of the Order, D-1314.

……

Looking at the simple report that had been written, Esther frowned slightly.

He always felt a little awkward.

If he writes like this before he puts down his pride and pride, there is no problem, but he will feel that writing like this does not highlight his own merits.

However, after letting go of his pride and pride, especially after consulting his predecessor Aitdemont, he felt that there was probably a problem with writing like this.

For example...... Delegated to more dangerous tasks.

"No way!"

"You can't write like that!"

"It's too dangerous!"

Esther picked up the report he had just written, lit it, and threw it into the empty trash can on the side, then poured the ashes into the toilet.

Call!

Press the flush button, and amid the sound of the water, Esther stands in front of the mirror next to him, and he looks at himself in the mirror.

Young, handsome.

So......

You must live a long life!

"Come on, you can, Aster!"

With these words, Esther returned to his desk again.

He began to write a second report.

I miscalculated the strength of the 'Masked Man', the application had been damaged by the Masked Man, and I was discovered, but luckily, the Masked Man did not harm me, and he thought that I was still of some use, so I tried to continue to contact the Masked Man and try to make him understand the meaning of the organization - D-1314.

……

"I was a little lacking, but I was lucky and loyal to the organization...... Safe! ”

Esther looked at the report and gave it a silent evaluation.

Then, he folded it up, tucked it away close to his body, and began to write the 'asylum' report.

The report is extremely detailed.

It is written in a standard format (PS Chapter 10 of this volume, Project Report).

By the time the writing was finished, it was 5 o'clock.

Esther stood up and moved her body, and lay down on the bed.

7:30 a.m.

Drip, drip!

When the alarm clock rang, Esther opened his eyes and quickly rushed to the bathroom to wash - a habit he had developed.

Picking up the report on the table, Esther headed out for the 'Asylum''s secret base in the city, passing by a café, where he bought three cups of coffee and two sandwiches, and at the same time, the report to the 'Holy Serpent Society' was left in the corner of the café.

This is the only way he knows how to communicate the organization.

More?

It's not something he can know at his level.

In the past, he was still a little resentful, thinking that the elite should know more like himself.

And, I've been working hard for this.

And now?

He didn't want to know more at all.

Because, the more you know, the faster you die.

This was also told to him by his predecessor, Aitdemon.

It makes perfect sense.

Just like the other words of his predecessors, although it seems difficult for a true brave man to accept, it is very suitable for a person like him who wants to live a long life.

"Morning!"

Esther greeted the doorman and walked straight into the building.

The 'asylum' is a secret base in Ngong Thanh, hidden underneath an office building.

There is a dedicated elevator that requires access to the basement floor.

Of course, the external cover is the company's logistics information office.

The members of the 'shelter' are the regular employees of this logistics unit.

"Morning!"

Greetings to the doorman again.

This is the doorman of the 'shelter', an old man who looks a little old, who stays by the 'elevator' on the basement floor every day, and to the outside is an old man who looks like he is waiting to retire.

In the greeting, Esther put a cup of coffee in his hand in front of the old man, and after showing a smile, he walked to the information shelf behind the old man.

Silent start-up.

The data rack splits in two, revealing the 'elevator'.

Esther stepped in.

Pressed the only floor on the panel, 'V007'.

The elevator began to descend rapidly, and when the elevator door opened again, it suddenly opened up in front of him, and the bright hall was empty, and Esther turned to the office area on one side.

There are 3 C-class personnel here.

He, his predecessor Aitt Dermon and another perennial field worker Drinker.

He hadn't seen each other since he became a C-class.

On the sign at the door of the office area, Ettdemon's sign was already lit up, and Esther pressed her sign and walked directly to Ettedemon's office.

Knock, knock.

"Come in."

Aitdemon's voice came.

Esther pushed the door open and placed coffee and breakfast on Ett Delmon's desk.

"Senpai, breakfast."

Esther gestured.

He knew that his predecessor almost didn't eat breakfast in order to pay off the car loan and housing loan.

"Thanks, Esther."

"How's the report?"

Aitdemund asked.

"I've written it, you can help me see if there's anything missing."

Esther said as he handed the report to Ett Dmund.

This was not possible before.

Esther, who considers himself an elite, will not let Eater Delmond read his report at all.

And now, Esther, who has long been clear about her life goals, can't ask for Aite Demund's guidance.

"Here, here, and here need to be changed."

"Remember, we're just ordinary people."

"Ordinary people who are frightened when faced with danger."

Aitdemon, who quickly pointed out the 'mistakes and omissions' in the report, emphasized.

"Understood."

Esther immediately began to revise it in front of Aether Delmon.

After getting Aitdermon to confirm that everything was correct, Esther submitted the report.

Then, returning to the office, Esther did not go through the materials as usual, looking for any clues, he leaned back in his chair, and put his coat over himself as he accidentally saw Aether Dermon several times.

Comfortable and cozy.

It seems that my current choice is the right one.

As for more?

Esther couldn't think of it.

After all, the report has already been handed in.

The rest?

That's waiting!

And this wait is even shorter than Esther imagined.

……

At sunrise, the sun shines through the windows of the fight gym.

In the warm, bright light, Jason and Arras looked at each other.

Whew, swoop.

At this moment, the two of them leaned on the edge of the ring, supporting their knees with their hands, gasping for breath, but the smiles on the corners of their mouths could not be suppressed.

After a night of fighting, the two of them who had never rested felt tired at this time, especially Arras, who was using a special explosive secret technique, at this time, they were completely relying on their will to support.

"Jason, you're the strongest man I've ever met."

After Arras finished speaking, he couldn't support it anymore, so he just lay down on the ground and fell asleep.

And Jason slowly sat down after seeing Arras lying down.

It's definitely not because he is slightly inferior to Anas in strength, and he has to surpass Arras in physical strength for the sake of a man's face.

He's honing his will.

He's standing up for what he believes in.

And this kind of training and persistence will naturally be rewarding.

Even, it can be said that it exceeded Jason's expectations.

[Griffin Fighting Technique (proficient): You who are proficient in griffin fighting have begun to get a first glimpse of the horror of this skill, any part of your body will become the most lethal weapon, especially your hands and legs will implement the ferocity after the griffin's dexterity, and the fundamental change of the griffin forging technique has made this skill more and more daunting; Effect: +0.3 for Strength, Dexterity (Beginner, Skillful, Mastery)】

[Reach the mastery level of Griffin Fighting and gain the inherent talent 'Ferocious Attack']

[Determined that the griffin forging technique has changed fundamentally, and the inherent talent of the griffin fighting technique has changed......]

[Judgment passed!] 】

[Gain the Innate Talent 'Kick Boost!'] 】

[Kick Enhancement: The talent born from the changed griffin forging technique, it is also an accidental product; When you attack with your legs, you will gain an additional special blessing of Strength, Dexterity +0.1]

……

The increase in stats is the most intuitive change for Jason, and the combination of knowledge, skills, and physical tuning is an extension, especially in the previous battle with Anas.

This tone has almost become an instinct in Jason's body.

Because, in the face of Arras, who was attacking like a storm, he had no room to think at all.

It can only be a non-stop defense, looking for opportunities to counterattack.

By the time the adjustment was over, everything would have fallen into place.

It's as if [Griffin Fighting] has gone from proficiency to mastery.

After the same accumulated battle, under the pressure of the onslaught of Arras, a qualitative change directly occurred.

"It has increased its strength and agility by 0.1, and the talent after the mutation has increased its strength and agility by 0.1 again."

One upgrade, which brings almost 0.4 attributes, is quite a good gain for Jason.

But in the same way, the satiety required for the [Griffin Fighting Technique] after the mutation has also increased significantly.

Progressing from Mastery to Expert requires 25 Fullness and 1 Appetite Excitement.

You must know that [hand-to-hand combat] mastery to the expert level only requires 6 points of satiety and 1 point of food excitement.

According to the basic, beginner to proficient, [Gryphon Fighting Technique] always costs a little more satiety than [Hand-to-hand Combat], and the ordinary [Griffin Fighting Technique] will only have 1-2 more satiety points.

And not exponentially growing now.

But Jason didn't have any complaints about this.

On the contrary, it was full of joy.

He wasn't worried about the high demand for satiety, he was only worried that his skills and secret techniques weren't strong enough.

Especially if you have a strong sparring partner in front of you.

In just one night's work, his [Griffin Fighting Technique] increased by one level.

There may have been previous accumulation, but Arras contributed a lot.

So what if the battle continues?

Five days!

Ten days!

Or even a month spent in such a battle?

I'm afraid that his [Griffin Fighting Technique] and [Hand-to-Hand Fighting] will reach unprecedented heights.

Thinking of this, Jason's gaze at Arras involuntarily became hot.

He was now eager to pull the sleeping Arras up again and continue the fight.

But he knew that doing so would only quench his thirst.

Moreover, a clear, familiar sound of footsteps in the back alley had reached Jason's ears.

And then—

Knock, knock!

There was a knock on the door.

Jason opens the door, and Aether Demond and Esther appear outside the door with smiles on their faces.

"As agreed with you, I brought what you need."

"It's in transit."

Ettemon said this, but before the words could fall, the communicator on his waist flashed rapidly, and a rapid shout came from within—

"Report! Report! ”

"We were unexpectedly attacked!"

"The 'anomaly' has been robbed!"

"'Anomalous' was ...... Belch! ”

The report came to an abrupt end.
