The magicians nodded in the form of supporting that what Gorgie said is true about their badges that can only be achieved by passing certain exams that change every two years, if you don't pass them you have to wait a year to present it again, the limit is 4 attempts to get the badge on a specific topic.
Even if you make a great discovery about a specific topic, they won't give you your badge if you don't pass the exams.
That makes the badges have a great value in the world of knowledge, magic, and politics, so much is its value that just by having it your word has more weight than that of a person who doesn't have or is a lower rank.
There are 3 types, Apprentice, Professional, and Master.
Most people only have the Apprentice, since the professional and Master are worlds completely different knowledge, once you get the Master rank you become an imposing figure to respect with great power within the Academy of Elite [Grakedaz], where only the best of the best comes in, knights, magicians, bards, swordsmen, archers, architects, scholars, etc.

"Then you can translate for us the message left by the ancient civilization" The knight became more respectful towards Gorgie when he saw the silver frame of his Professional rank badge.
Although Gorgie is only a professional rank, his word still has weight within the academy and if he wanted, he could make someone not enter it, unless the person has a monstrous talent for Gorgie's request to be ignored.
"I can, but it will take time and a part that we will occupy at least three professionals in magic circuits and we only have one, if we want to decrease the months in weeks" Gorgie doesn't look at the knight while saying his thoughts to see one or another complex magic circuit in the wall that prevents him from deciphering the language on the wall.
The knight pointed in a notebook the requirements of Gorgie while he retires in search of the messenger.
<As I would like to use mental interconnection magic to be able to send the messages... but everything has to be discreet... that annoying> The knight thought while delivering the message to a Wind Battle Wizard to take her to Mr. Sokrethus.
The Magician surrounded herself with a greenish aura while muttering a few words in another language to soon disappear from her position while only leaving a breeze of air trying to fill the space that the magician covered long before disappearing.

Returning to the events inside the Dungeon, the Kobolds find themselves repelling beasts that try to invade their village in an attempt to expand their territory or simply get food.
"Hold the front!!" An old Kobold shouted as he rushed out of his hut with a rudimentary double-edged ax.
"Take the eggs and children to the chief's house!!" "Also the supplies!! don't forget the supplies!!" The shouts of different Kobolds filled the village while defending themselves from the attacks.
"!!!... STOP HIM!!!" A Kobold-female shouted in horror at seeing one of the young Kobold join the battle with his own spear made from one of Alex's milk fangs.
"I, Kredus promised to protect my mother and I won't flank now!!" The boy shouted his promise to give himself courage while throwing himself towards the beasts and with agile and refined movements he began to cut the beasts that were attacking the residential area of the village, all because his sick mother could die if these beasts continue to advance.
Despite being a healthy and strong young man, he never left the village for his mother and always trained to be his shield and now it is time to demonstrate all his training results.
The milk tooth in the spear of Kredus is the biggest result of his training, he got it in a surprise attack with no-intention-of-fighting on Alex, he only managed to hit it once because he did not serve that technique again, but that blow gave him a fang of milk of Alex, which was replaced the next day as well as all his other fangs.
There were no warriors in this area because the Village was attacked by two directions at different times and, therefore, the distribution of warriors in the village was not adequate.
At the beginning it was only Kredus, but shortly after all the young people who 'played' were pushing all the monsters that entered through the residential area out of the Village and however small it was.
The young people could not achieve these feats if it were not for Alex, who with his great monstrous speed and stealth was kidding them when they played, which made the young people develop a keen sense of tracking and predicting movement so they could catch Alex, but while fighting the beasts they ended up fleeing by paralyzing when they detected the essence of the youth.
The essence made them tremble with terror, which made it easy for young people to kill them, but suddenly a thunderous sound filled the place while the ground shook.
The beasts felt the change in the environment and detected how the aura of another much more powerful beast began to expand and they were within that territory.
All the beasts began to flee with their tails between their legs, but the conflict in the village didn't end because the renegade Kobolds began a guerrilla war against the Kobolds in search of revenge for being expelled just for accepting the help of the 'Demon' to become stronger.
The renegades did not flee since they did not feel Alex's aura like the other beasts as well as the villagers and warriors of the Village, and they would not feel it anymore since Alex has no negative feelings towards them.
The young men were forced to retire when Kra'ga arrived in the village after verifying that only in room 1 is where the beasts are out of control, with his arrival it became easy to expel and eliminate a few renegade Kobolds.
"Tch!... they are just monsters!" Said the only female Kobold who is in the conflict fighting.
"They have the same eyes as the beasts" Another Kobold warrior reaffirm while parting a renegade kobold without feeling any weight of guilt by killing a fellow man.
The conflict lasted until the night since a powerful roar chased away the renegades to feel the thirst-blood, they fled to know that they are in the domain of a dangerous beast and it is not convenient to have their revenge when a possible beast can hunt them.
...
Inside the forest in the direction of the roar, Alex lies a little away from where he fought the rhino and the bull, he lay on tall grass that is spongy when he lies on top of them.
<How annoying are the vermin...> Alex thought to see how the red dots run away from his domain.
Alex stared at the mini-map for a few seconds.
<Mmm... my domain has grown> Alex thought when comparing the before and after his domain in the mini-map where he shows how extensive his domain became in a single day of deadly fighting.
<!!!> Alex was surprised when in his mini-map he registered a village full of gray dots and a dozen green dots.
<Good to know that not everything here wants me dead, possibly those Kobolds that are not worth experience points and don't look anything appetizing> Alex relaxed while letting himself swallow the dream world without knowing that he helped without wanting to the Kobolds only with his existence, something that would surely make him very happy to know.
The night passed without problems, except for the occasional tremor of the fighting that is taking place in different parts of the forest.
Alex prepared his own meat with the magic lemon, while he ate he got his new mutation for his claws while spending the remaining points to improve his fangs, bone structure and improve his vision in order to have a better moving object among other benefits. He also spent his Sp that were already 13 points, 5 that he achieved by leveling up and the others by expanding his domain.
So is Alex's status after distributing 10 Sp.

<If that is a big change compared to when I first opened it ... now I wonder how deadly are the farts of a chicken in this world? Is it a magical attack or has such agility in its statistics that Does the fart become deadly because of the speed at which he is expelled?> Alex imagined a hen splitting people or trees in two whenever the poor hen has indigestion as he heads towards the exit.
Along the way, some beasts crossed him and tried to face him by entering his newly acquired domains, but with a fireball, they were eliminated.
Alex moved straight towards the exit, during his career he could appreciate the result of different types of conflicts over the conquest, from fighting without magic to some that changed the ecosystem of the place, he also managed to see how the forest regenerates at a great speed visual, previously shattered places and without any plant in sight, now it is full of sprouts and weeds like the odd small animal.
The trip was quiet until a great yellow flare blocked Alex's advance.
