Chapter 197



Although the skills that he acquired gave him the know-how on how to execute them, it did not actually give him the muscle memories on how to use them, except for the assimilated skills which came with the muscle memories when activated.

Therefore, Randy had to diligently practice dodging the attacks of the various beasts within the dungeon of beasts in order to fully use this Wind Sailing Skill that seemed to be more complicated at first despite him acquiring the knowledge on how to execute it.

About two hours later, as he used his skill which boosted his speed, Randy had finally arrived at his destination, the Alpheotus City.

However, when Randy finally arrived at the main entrance of Alpheotus city, he quickly noticed that the city’s main gate had been closed just like he had thought.

‘Now, what should I do? Should I attempt to push the gate forcefully? If that does not work, I will try breaking down the gate. No, that’s stupid. What am I thinking right now? They’d think that I am an enemy if I did something like that. But why isn’t anyone here, though? Do they not guard the city gate at night or something?’

Randy pondered for a minute, and then he suddenly came up with a plausible idea.

‘Maybe I should climb over the wall? I don’t plan on staying outside until morning. I need to take a shower to wash off my fatigue. I couldn’t do that while inside the dungeon. Although once I entered the safe room, all parts of my body felt cleaned by some mysterious energy. So it’s not like I am dirty or anything. But I still need to take a proper shower.’

Randy firmly thought to himself and immediately acted away on his decision without hesitation.

.....

Thus, Randy went to the side of the wall, quite a distance away from the city’s main gate since there was less chance of anyone spotting him as he climbed the wall.

Not to mention, the location that Randy was currently standing was quite a considerable distance away from the city’s main gate. Therefore, even if the city guards happened to guard the city gate from the inside rather than outside, they would still not notice him if he decided to climb the wall from his current position.

Bang!

With a dull but light sound while utilizing his Wind Sailing, Randy jumped up the wall, clung on the edges of the wall on top with his hands, and proceeded to look around for a bit. When Randy had looked around inside the city without seeing anyone around besides the residential houses, he then propelled himself upward, climbing over the wall shortly after.

At this point, Randy had already jumped over the city wall and entered the city, but he was currently falling from the height of over ten to fifteen meters tall wall.

Whoosh~

Before Randy could land, he decisively used his wind sailing skill to lighten the fall on the ground to avoid making any ruckus with his landing.

After he had landed successfully without drawing any attention, he proceeded to look around some more using his dimensional sense skill before walking away when he did not detect anyone around 100 meters radius around himself.

Although using the dimensional sense skill drained one’s mental and mana points, Randy had a high magic limit and intelligence attributes, so he could afford to use this skill a few times before ultimately feeling exhausted.

With that aside, Randy quickly made his way towards the tallest building in the city, Dungeon Exploration Occupation Society’s building.

After walking past some people who were still not yet asleep or simply walking about doing their very own things in the illuminated city, Randy finally reached his destination.

However, When he reached the building, he quickly noticed that the door to the building was closed, and Randy wondered if they had closed down for the day.

But then, he also recalled that his room was inside the building, so there was no way they would close down their building thoroughly.

With that thought in mind, he pushed against the door to the building, and sure enough, after a few tries, it opened as he had thought.

At first, it appeared to be locked even though he pushed against it, but as if recognizing something, the door to the building abruptly opened a short moment later when Randy pushed on his third try.

At this moment, Randy was holding onto his hands the temporary dungeon hunter card since he intended to submit the rank mission’s required contents and also get a new and official dungeon hunter card.

‘Did it open because of my temporary dungeon hunter card?’ Randy wondered.

However, he did not bother to ponder too much and proceeded to walk in right away. And just like he had expected, the reception counters were still there, but there was no one behind them, nor were there any dungeon hunter in the building to use them for that matter.

Randy sighed and decided to head to his room for a bit before heading out to take a bath afterward. He planned on coming back the following day to report the completion of his rank mission.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a faint encroaching presence behind him, and he instinctively took out his steel sword and swiftly turned around to face the source.

He immediately shouted outward: “Who are you?! Show yourself!”

“...”

At this moment, a silhouette walked from within the dark hall with calm but steady steps.

When their physical form came into view, they suddenly praised with a surprised voice: “Not bad, young man. You’re indeed as great as Zophia had said. To think that you could sense my presence even though you only recently become a dungeon hunter. Why are you now coming back? Did something happen on your way back?’

Randy scowled when he saw the appearance of the silhouette. It was actually a bulky middle-aged man who exuded a deadly aura just from standing casually. However, he could not fully discern this person’s appearance, almost like he was shrouded in some power.

Noticing the dangerous aura emanating from the other party, Randy did not respond to their question and instead continued to ask in a cold tone: “Who are you? What do you want from me? And also, why did you mention Zophia’s name just now? Are you perhaps a dungeon hunter as well?”

Randy thought this man was someone who might have heard about him from Zophia somehow. Even though he was somehow doubtful that Zophia would carelessly spread the news about him to others, there was also the possibility that she might have precisely done that.

Contrary to his belief that the middle-aged man came to see him for some ill-intentioned reasons, the middle-aged man, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows in slight surprise when he heard Randy’s unwelcoming remarks just now.

A brief moment later, the middle-aged man undid his ability, thus revealing his entire appearance for him to see. He had a well-trimmed short beard, short grey hair, and clouded blue eyes.

Afterward, he spoke: “Young man, there’s no need for you to be on guard; I mean no harm. I only came here to check on you and nothing more. How about this, I will see you tomorrow after you’re done with your matters, and you’ll know who I am then. Also, as you can see, the society building is closed down for the day, so you’ll have to handle your matters tomorrow as soon as possible if you want to get your rank assigned to you quickly. Because starting from tomorrow, there might be quite a ruckus in the society’s building, so you might not get your chance to officially register yourself before the day is over.”

Hearing this grey-haired middle-aged man’s words, Randy gradually felt that something was very off about this person’s way of speaking as he spoke to him.

‘...Almost as if he is a bigshot in this place.’

Randy then doubtfully asked with a noticeable change in his tone and attitude this time: ” May I ask who you are exactly? Why does it seem like you’re well-informed about what I plan on doing tomorrow?”

The grey-haired middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he noticed the change in his tone, and then he abruptly burst out into a peal of momentary laughter before he said: “Hahaha... You’re quite a smart young man. But I wasn’t lying to you just now. As I said, you would come to know who I am tomorrow, so there’s no need for me to tell you right now.”

The bulky grey-haired middle-aged man heartily started laughing once again as he walked away while waving his hand. He seemed to be heading to the top floor of this building as he took the stairway leading to the top floor at the end of the hallway.

‘Who was that man? He sounded like one of the leaders of this society... Wait, it can’t be the person Zophia talked about before handing me the rank mission, right? If it was him, then wasn’t I acting quite rude to him just now. I wanted to fit into this world as much as possible, so I needed to act my place, but...’ Randy silently pondered.

“Whatever, it’s not like I knew who he was beforehand and still acted like this toward him or anything. It was his fault for acting sneaky and creeping up on me as he did. I almost attacked him just now, if not because this was the society’s building, which made me hold back my urge. Not to mention, I don’t plan on causing any trouble on my second day here.” Randy muttered to himself in a low voice shortly after.
