Chapter 57

"Nevertheless you look fine my young one, it has been a while since I heard you call out my name. I know that certain events are making you a bit weary and felt all alone. these things are within the confinements of what I truly want, just remember that you are like the others free to choose your own fate, as the stage has been set and the gears of destiny are in motion. let your suffering and pain be your guide in facing what's already started as of now, I say to you behold the glory for we hold life and death hush your weary faith for it has begun.''

"huh! what was that?"

"what a weird dream!"

The sky had that ominous feeling the next day as soon as Ramiel opened his eyes, and felt the warm body of his companion and familiar pet wolf next to him, he rub his eyes and sat up and started to contemplate on the things that dwell in his heart and mind, sadly that feeling of disgust still lingered in his very consciousness,

As he personally witnessed the atrocities that Omael Drorkanels and his mysterious groups are perpetrating, he must stop them. but he knew and understood that he still needs to train more, the attack he made was only effective because it was unknown to the enemy, and he needs to recall all the training that he was able to look through on the old books that grandpa tang and grandma Mao had on their library when he was still on Earth,

"I never expected that that knowledge was truly helpful at that moment."

"I want to combine both knowledge, technic and skill, to become strong and prepared to face those ten individuals head-to-head."

Rameil decide to use this opportunity to gain more information later from Loki or anybody that can provide this to him discreetly without stepping on anybody's toes, but when he stood up he saw and finally recalled that his clothes are still worn out and wondered about his ordered wardrobe,

while his Familiar was still sleeping and waiting for his new clothes to be delivered to his room, he sat on the room floor and meditated and once again recalled the 7 meridian veins, and proceed to understand each layer's use and function,

he finally got the chance to increase the Aura flow within his new body, and formulate and re-configure all of the enchantment spells, to the point it will be personalized,

he carefully watches and analyses each layer of the aura as he found out it all relates to the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual conditions of an individual person. Energetic vibrations of a person's thoughts, feelings, state of health, awareness, and past experiences are stored in the different aura layers, He hopes even in this new environment his accumulated Aura can still interact and flow effortlessly in his core,

He notices after amalgamating the two type of energy that resides inside him was like a plasma storm, but in perfect harmony with each other, his grandpa would be proud to see that he was able to achieve two opposite but interconnected forces swirling around, as physical manifestations of the duality of order and chaos,

he wasn't able to do this when he was still inside the forsaken forest, because he was too busy learning to survive inside the densest and most highly dangerous place in the land, just securing a safe, quiet, warm, and dry place was a challenge, and even if he did find a place vicious beasts would attack him nonstop,

Moreover, one of the most disturbing things was that after completing the seven-day training regimen Trazgallen requested, he had to travel a few more days to finally reach the forest clearing, after foolishly choosing the most hazardous path, believing that this would be the experience his teacher wanted him to have.

"From what I remember, what the teacher said before, the term Tier is a special form of magic that was used to add different effects to regular spells, increasing the power or advantage of their Magic Caster.

"so most of my spells might already be at the second Tier level,"

"sadly I really can't call those spells to be truly effective if I just mash them together and do not know any information,"

"and what it can do and how much energy it will consume on my side."

Ramiel decided to separate all of the spells he combined and made, except the Devouring Decimation Plasma Wave spell, he thinks it just needs to increase its Tier level

" ok let's begin, I need to understand all of the basic requirements to increase my spells power output without sacrificing my own safety."

"I could master the absorption of the environment's natural energy and create a system that I can use to form a loop like a turbo engine and control each output so I won't explode from within."

" huh! this is like a deja vu!"

"I think this already happen before!"

"ah! now I remember, destroying another house is not optional, i need to find a safe place,"

Ramiel just waited for the right time to re-formulate his new task, and thought that Loki might be able to help him out, he just remain seated on the floor and just memorise and formulate the spells he need, thinking the best plan was to study all aspects of his task when a knock was heard at his door, He stood up and opened the door and saw Odell standing and holding his new clothes,

" here young man, as you requested, your new clothing,

"by the way, among the materials, you gave me, this one is rather peculiar and I had to ask another person to analyze this!"

"but it was futile! some said this might be just residue from, an unknown item but we don't know what?"

"what do you mean?"

" Most of the raw materials that you dumped on my table previously, were covered by this black sand, we had to clean all of the items before we could process it,"

"sorry about that! but I have no idea what or where did that black sand come from!"

"anyway here! I did gather all of it and place it in this bag, you can ask any other Guild accredited personnel, or maybe a blacksmith might know what this stuff is!"

"Because it is made of metal."

"the bill will be deducted from the job task payment you will get to work on,"

"oh! I think Loki forgot to tell you that new hunters are required to join other teams for safety and guidance, I think Taeriel will inform all of the new members later, this includes you,"

"thank you, Odell."

"ok likewise."

Ramiel close the door, and remembered what this metallic sand might be, there is a chance it was the blood of the mutated Monster that dried up and turned into sand, he place it on the table when his familiar finally woke and greeted him with a bark, he took off his old shirt and used the remaining water in the bucket and wash his face, after a few minutes he was contented in seeing Odell finished product,

" Nice fit! I never expected that Pixies are on equal par with great fashion designers on earth,"

Ramiel look at the mirror and admires the craftmanship of his new clothes, and decided to pose while holding his mother's battle mace, he was posing in battle stance when he slightly Imbued the mace with a small amount of energy or mana, when the small bag with the black sand move, Al saw its movement and started to bark at it, Ramiel also saw this and thought it might still be alive, when he was about to hit, it the bag fell on the floor and the metallic sand spread all over,

"huh! it's still sand! how did it? wait! he releases a small amount of mana,"

"I knew it!"

the black metallic sand was reacting to his energy signature, thinking would it move if somebody else use their energy? he squatted down, just testing out his theory, wave his hand and even used his fingers with Imbued energy and started to play with it as if he was remotely controlling it, thinking this might be just an interaction that occurs between particles with electric charge via electromagnetic fields.

"huh? is this magnetised sand ? or is something else entirely new in this world,"

he brushes the metallic sand on the floor, places it inside the sack bag and put it inside the pocket of his dark military green coloured trench coat, when Loki walked along the second-floor hallway corridor announcing that the individual guild member teams are here to assist and guide the new members,

he tells them to join the rest of the new members downstairs, so they can all meet the team who will be training and guiding them while they eat, as he went out of his room many of the newly licensed members from different professions rush toward the ground floor after hearing that one of the team was the renowned Garden Brawlers, as he walks down the staircase he saw a familiar face, now he has a problem,

Haella, Krysha, and the Dwarf Beor personally know him, this will attract a lot of attention, he went back to his room and took a piece of his old black shirt and rip a long wide cloth and used it to cover his face, like a bandit mask scarf, and proceeded down with his familiar wolf and casually went to the furthest part of the hall table and ordered something to eat,

there were 4 new faces in the Garden Brawlers lineup because they were the only team who has a profession of hunters, the rest of the team were merchants, and gatherers, that's why most new hunter members were excited to be part of their team,

sadly when Loki address the crowd, he was shocked to hear that its a mandatory rule if newly licenced hunters refuse to participate, the hunter nametag will be revoked based on the senior team leader's personal assessment,

many of the new members got angry, Loki express his concern because of the large rate of death among them, this policy is now being used, he even state that this rule was already included in the by-laws that the late Queen created,

"just bare this inconvenience, for the time being, many reports of mutated beasts are being reported all over the land,"

"so just follow their advice and stay alive."

Ramiel was already eating, while the new hunters were boasting their level to the Garden Brawlers, and were asking the member to share their exploits in the field when the 3 original members quietly sat and just order some food and ate, as the 4 newly recruited members were relatives of some merchant faction that wants to get notoriety, as they all acted out false information among the people,

spreading their whisper campaign as if they were part of the battle expedition that killed the mountain troll, Haella, Krysha, and Beor, didn't contradict their telltale and just left them to get drunk on their lies, this was Viscountess's orders to establish a reasonable explanation that a seven-member team was the one who was responsible in killing the 30-foot mountain troll.

while drinking, Haella was still upset, not because their glory was taken away from them, it was because they failed to save their new companion,

Haella raised his drink and said

"in the honor of our fallen comrades, especially to one gentle soul!"

"cheers to Ramiel! may you rest in peace!"

Taeriel heard this and walk toward the Garden Brawlers leader and ask, why did she mention that name to be dead when he and very much alive and well,

"What! are you sure his name is Ramiel?"

"yes! i am 100 per cent sure! white hair, fairly good looking and carries an old battle mace."

"that's him! where is he now?"

duh! right there!"

Taeriel pointed to the farthest table, at the very corner a young white hair person, who was wearing a mask could be seen eating with his pet wolf, Haella ran towards him, pushing anybody who was standing in her way, Haella was confused seeing a taller person, even if he hides his face in the shadow his golden eyes was a dead give away,

"holy crap! it is you!"
