Cloud feels like he would die after taking a big damage from explosion. Luckily due to the Stone wall skill he obtained, he didn't die and only injured leaving only 10% of his life. He panicked, he thinks that he will die early without enjoying the second life given to him. His 'Kill for Extra life' buff is still useless. To make use of these, he needed to stack 1000 souls to gain extra life. 1000 souls is a big number and will take him days or weeks to gather souls.
Cloud endured the pain he is suffering right now and managed to get up and go in position for 'Fairy's Heal'. He then started to heal himself up.
He wanted to look at the faces of people he face slapped but by overdoing the test, it nearly cost him his life.
'No one informed me that this sh*t will explode. ' he protested inside of his thoughts.
When he healed up himself and started to jump and stretched his body, someone from the crowd shouted "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?".
He then looked at the direction of the man who shouted. Instead of finding the source of the voice, the face of the masses caught his attention.
All of them have eyes widened and some have their mouths wide open. The shock still obvious in their faces.
"I AM CLOUD SHYLPHINFORD" he replied sarcastically. Everyone knew that he is Cloud Shylphinford. Cloud is walking out of the testing grounds.
Marina rushes to Cloud and hugged him."Don't die yet Cloud. Please don't die. " Marina is emotional right now and have her eyes teary. Marina and Cloud relationship is only at friend stage.
Their relationship right now is only at friend stage but who knows, it might upgrade to something better or bad.
"Hey Marina, I'm ok. How about you? The explosion is so strong. Do you have any injuries? " Cloud lift up Marina's t-shirt to check if she got injuries.
PIAAAK!
A loud sound of slap rang in the grounds. Again everyone has their jaws left hanging and eyes widened.
" YOU PERVERT MONKEY. " Marina slapped Cloud. Cloud flew a few meters away where he is standing. Marina acts unconsciously or she just did it out of embarrassment.
Again, Cloud's health dropped to 75 percent and then he start to activate Fairy's heal. Crowd left dumbfounded again. A normal slap from Marina won't deal them a large damage but as for Cloud, that hurts because of the difference of their Level.
Cloud goes to Marina's side and ask for forgiveness and Marina forgive this dude. Then as they headed to the exit. Ford run into their direction.
"The Branch Head said that you passed. You don't have to take the rest of the test. What you performed right now is enough to test if you can survive in the wilds. " Ford is still catching his breath. He ran too much that his body can't handle it.
Ford can't become an adeventurer because of his weak physical body and there is no way to change it. He accepted the fact long ago and choose to work in the Association.
Cloud and Marina smiled. Both of them are happy because of the news they got from Ford. And then ford added something
"But you need to pay for the damages you made. It will only cost you a million Technical Points. " A Million Technical Points is large amount for them. You can buy a lot of things with it
" I knew about it. " Marina approached his Pocket and transferred 1 million Technical Points to Ford's account.
.....
" what? A Million Technical Points? If i were Marina, I won't pay for him"
"Wow. For that man she paid 1 million technical points. What are their relationship with each other."
"The luckiest man in the city. I really wanted to be in his position. To be hugged by Marina. "
" To be on Marina's side is what I'm dreaming every night"
"how large is his mana capacity? He didn't even take a Mana regen potion to replenish his lost Mana and still used Fairy's heal. This might be a god who ascended from heaven. "
....
Praise, envy and admiration about Marina and Cloud are heard everywhere. These people know that this man might be a genius but not as strong as the others.
After the incident both of them returned to Marina's place. Cloud's clothes are tattered already after the explosion. He wanted to buy new set of clothes at the store but he don't have any money yet. But when he asked Marina if she can let him borrow money to buy clothes, Marina agreed to let him borrow some money.
There is only 1 type of currency in Mistalia Continent, and it is called Technical Points. Technical points are stored in storage space of everyone. To transfer it, it will just swipe the desired amount to another storage space.
Selling monster's carcasses to the Association is the best way to gain Technical points. That's why Adventurers can be rich if they killed many rare monsters.
The carcasses can be used as food or as experimentations for better understanding and
Marina inherited some fortune from his father. This fortune helped her to get stronger. She used it to buy enhancing items and gears.
When Cloud finished his bath, Marina gave him some clothes left by his father. After Cloud finished changing clothes the two of them started talking about each other.
"Cloud you did well earlier on your test. The Head acknowledged your strength and grant you your Adventurer Pass." Marina is happy on how things goes.
Marina's level is still level 45. She is only 18 years old like Cloud. She started being an adventurer at age of 14. She's one of the youngest adventurer. Gaining 45 levels in just 4 years is a great achievement done by a young adventurer.
"yeah, it's like I cheated, but yeah I thing I deserve it after all." Cloud is also happy. Time is gold for Cloud. By skipping test he saved time and he can use the time for intended for the test to acquire some high graded garments.
"Marina is there any legendary Garments being sold here?" Cloud is hunting for some legendary items. Even if he didn't like the design but with the NS(Neutral skill) he got named Remodel. He can change the design of an item. For example, a pants. He can remodel and turn it into a short pants.
"luckily my father left something here." Marina go into his father's room and when she got out she brought with her some things.
She put it all in the table. As Cloud take a closer look about it and activate an NS(neutral skill) inspection, he realized that all of them are legendary items.
" Marina, I can't pay you now. Sell it to others, they can guarantee you your profits." Cloud is ashamed of himself. This debt is too much for him, he can't pay those even with his triple buff.
"No worries. I can't use them because all of them are for mens and don't worry about paying this. I give all this to you. But the size is just to big... Do you have any idea how to solve this problem? " After marina said this. Cloud's eyes shone brightly out of excitement.
" really Marina? You gave this to me? Thank you very much babe. " Cloud hugged Marina. Marina blushed and then pushed Cloud away. She bow her head down to hide her face away of the sight of Cloud.
" well there's an NS that I can use and it is the Remodel. Do you know about it?" Cloud is excited to conduct Remodel on these items but still he wanted to let Marina his way of solving this problem they got.
"Yeah. I knew about it but I cant use it. " Marina looked at Cloud in awe. Adopting this man is a one of the greatest choice she man in her life. A man that can use any Neutral Skill available will make their life easier. And Marina is excited on what other this man can perform. Basically this mam is a treasure.
" Then shall we start?"
