Seeing the information being shown on the system panel, Lu Ciel can't help but rejoice inwardly.

At the time when Lu Ciel felt the wonderful sensation spreading all over his body, patterns like magic circuit also spread starting from his forehead down to his fingers and toes. That was the sign that the consolidation of the special hunter license was happening. What made the three elders greatly shocked was how fast the magic circuit-like patterns spread all over the young man's body. It only took about ten seconds for this to happen, and once the glow slowly disappeared, they knew that the young man have successfully consolidated the special hunter license.

"Impossible!" The winged elder mumbled. He was pretty taken aback with what he saw with his own eyes.

"Ha!.." When the young elf noticed that Lu Ciel already opened his eyes, he believed that Lu Ciel failed right away, however, when he noticed the expression of the three elders, his face then looked grim. He refused to believe that the unexpected outcome happened but the truth slapped him awake when Lu Ciel said, "I think I've consolidated the special license already."

The three elders were silent as only after a bit while were they able to slowly nod their heads in a synchronize manner.

"Give me back my license!!" The momentary silence was broken when the young elf whipped his staff and threateningly directed at Lu Ciel's face.

"Whoaw there." Lu Ciel was surprised as he raised both of his hands in a manner that he won't fight back.. "Calm down, Vonvon."

"Who's Vonvon?!" The young elf shouted furiously. "We're not close, you human trash! I, Von Alexander, crowned prince of the Elf Kingdom do not mingle with human trash as it will only stain my esteemed self."

Hearing this made Lu Ciel frowned. In this world, racism would be normal as there is no such thing as equality as long as the strong rules the weak. Despite civility was instilled in every men, women and races, it's a harsh world to live in.

"Hmph! A snort that contained power jolted the young elf awake from his rage. As clarity began to resurfaced on the young elf, he saw the disappointed face of elder Long. With that, he faced the three elders and bowed. "I apologize for my unsightly behavior, elders, I admit my defeat on this bet.."

'It's alright, young prince, I still have another special license for a mage class here. We can talk about the details about this license later.' A telepathic message was heard by the young elf from the winged elder.

With that, the young elf excused himself as he has no face to show in this place. As he walked out, he can't help but be furious again as he continued his piece inwardly, '..but I will never admit defeat to a human.'

With the young elf out of the room, elder Bai laughed out loud as he patted his beefy hands to Lu Ciel's shoulders. "Haha! Congrats, lad."

"Congratulations." Elder Long Ming nodded with sincere smile. While, the winged elder only snorted as he walked out from the event as well.

Observing this, elder Bai became happier and eyed elder Long Ming inquisitively. Seeing this, elder Long understood right away as he said in a laughing manner, "I already have my cute disciple here, elder Bai. Don't worry about it. But, it will still depend on the young man though.."

"Haha!" With his right hand already placed on Lu Ciel's shoulder, his left hand was also placed on the other shoulder of the young man. "How about it, lad? Do you want to be this elder's disciple?"

Lu Ciel was shocked with elder Bai's offer. But, before he can reply, elder Bai continued with his piece.

"I am a mage class that's in the path of alchemy, blacksmith and formation. With your perfectly well-balanced affinities, you are perfectly suited to be a formation master or an alchemist. Hmm, I already have a disciple in formation path, you can be my disciple for alchemy. How about it?" Elder Bai's gaze towards Lu Ciel gets more intense as he become sold by his own passionate speech. With this kind of gaze, Lu Ciel began to feel uncomfortable as he was only barely able to meet the elder's sparkling eyes now.

"What do you say, lad?" Lu Ciel can already feel the hot breath of elder Bai.

"Elder Bai, you should give space to the young lad for him to decide." Elder Long chuckled as he intervened for Lu Ciel.

Noticing this, Elder Bai, retracted his beefy hands and slightly distanced himself as he coughed, "Excuse my eccentric behavior, my dear disciple."

"Err.." Lu Ciel did not know what to say anymore. It seems that this elder was already claiming him to be his disciple.

Seeing the young man's hesitation, elder Long tried to convince the young man. "Kid, I recommend for you to accept elder Bai's offer. You are a perceptive kid despite how you are a sort of go with the flow type of person. I bet that young prince will make your life hard based from his reaction with what happened between the two of you. You know this also, without a background, if not the young elf prince, elder Feng will make you miserable as long as you live."

Hearing this, elder Bai can't help but shout and over react. "Who dares to make the life of my disciple miserable?!"

"Lad, with your master here, no one can lay a single strand of your hair." Elder Bai's nose began blowing off steam.

Lu Ciel can't help but sigh as he totally agree with what elder Long said. With that, he bowed and calmly replied to the elder's offer. "Actually, I have a butler who is currently taking the exam for the special fighter class. If you want to take me as your disciple, then you have to take him as your disciple as well. He's very good with blacksmith. I presume that you are trying to take on disciples which follows each path that you take? I'm confident that you will not be disappointed with him."

Hearing what the young man's reply, at first, the two elders were surprised but right after, elder Long just shook his head knowing that the butler that Lu Ciel mentioned will not have a chance to take the special fighter class license away from the monstrous candidate. Elder Bai also shook his head but Lu Ciel misunderstood this thus he tried to convince further as he unsheathed the plain weapon which the bronze, silver and gold metal were interwoven and formed into a sword. "The metal of this sword was extracted from a thousand melted bronze coins, a hundred silver coins and ten gold coins. I've given it a name of Money Sword, this is to tell that this sword will only be used to earn money."

"Please evaluate." Lu Ciel handed the Money Sword to elder Bai.

Elder Bai accepted the sword and checked the worksmanship as respect to the young man. As he checked the sword, inwardly, he was impressed with the quality. The sword was heavy to signify that money is hard to earned, and the sword was sharp to signify that with effort, money can indeed be earned. Elder Bai was able to understand the intention of the young man's butler when making this sword.

"Good sword." However, elder Bai's face shows that he won't agree with the young man's proposal as he only shook his head. "I'm sorry, lad. The blacksmith position is occupied. In fact, he was my very first disciple."

"If it's workable with you, I can let your butler become an apprentice to my disciple. I'm also confident that you won't be disappointed about it." Elder Bai smirked.

"Oh.." Lu Ciel began to pondered for a moment. "I guess that can be considered."

"Haha! Great!" Elder Bai's hand patted Lu Ciel's shoulder once more. This time, the pat was more like a slap, considering how beefy the arms of this elder, Lu Ciel can't help but winced, having a hard time saying, "Disciple greets master."
