After killing the Seishin beast, Starks and the others applaud Kraftvoll of what he had achieved. "My boy, Kraftvoll, good job! You achieved a feat that can only be achieved by a squad. Even though this seishin beast is only on the level of puny Seishin beast, a squad of Seishin captains can do the same that you did this time." said Stark while patting Kraftvoll's shoulder.
This made Kraftvoll a little proud of his recent achievement. Earlier, he thought Stark was only a stern teacher because all this time, he only saw Stark's serious and strict side.
"Since you killed this beast, you have to get the seishin core inside. Here's a knife! Learn to get it yourself." said Stark while throwing a knife that was capable of cutting the skin of this seishin beast.
After catching the knife that Stark threw, Kraftvoll started cutting the seishin beast. 'Where could it be here? I will try to cut in the part where the seishin essence concentrated.' Kraftvoll thought to himself. Kraftvoll cut the part where he felt the dense Seishin essences.
Stark eyes' twitched as he saw what Kraftvoll tried to do, 'So this kid figured the right way to do that, huh. As expected of the kid that has affinities to all elements.'
Kraftvoll continued cutting the seishin beast that he hunted. As he cut the seishin beast, he saw a somewhat round thing in its innards. This is where Kraftvoll felt the concentrated seishin essence. He tried to cut it gently using the knife that Stark gave. Inside the round thing in the innards of the seishin beast, he saw a round green crystal. After getting it,
Kraftvoll tried to hand over the seishin core to Stark. "Sir Stark, here it is," said Kraftvoll. But Stark shook his head and said to Kraftvoll, "Kid, that's your spoil. You hunted that seishin beast alone. Therefore, that seishin core is yours. More importantly, that's beneficial to your seishin cultivation."
Kraftvoll nodded with a smile to Stark. This made Kraftvoll happy, this was his first hunt. 'I'm gonna keep this seishin core as a souvenir of my first hunt' Kraftvoll thought to himself.
Kraftvoll and the others continued their hunt. After a couple of hours, they decided to take a break. Everyone in Stark's squad was exhausted from hunting. As they were resting, they heard a sound that came from the bushes nearby. "Everyone, be on guard!" Stark shouted. This made everyone in the hunting squad in their attacking position.
"Put your sword down!" A voice shouted from the bushes. "Stand down," said Stark while giving the hand movement that indicates to put their sword down because he knew whose voice they've just heard.
"Young mistress Belle, what brings you in this dangerous place?" asked Stark. This made Kraftvoll and the others shocked. 'She's here?' Kraftvoll mumbled to himself.
Belle and his guard came out of the bushes. "Young mistress Belle heard that his dear friend, young master Kraftvoll, is going to a hunt today so she decided to follow him here," said Belle's personal guard in response to Stark. "Did his lordship, Earl Blaire, gave his permission about this?" asked Stark with seriousness in his face.
"Of course. That's why I am here." calmly replied by Belle's guard.
Kraftvoll smiled and approached Belle. "Hey, why did you follow us here? You know that it is dangerous here, right?" asked worried by Kraftvoll.
"Of course, I know the dangers but I only want to know what is your current cultivation base. Why didn't you tell me that you have reached the seishin captain rank?" Belle asked while pouting a little bit.
"I just reached this rank yesterday, and I was unable to tell you because Sir Stark asked me to come hunting with them today," Kraftvoll explained.
The two kids started to happily talk to each other. Kraftvoll told Belle what happened in their hunt in the previous couple of hours. Time passed quickly and their break time finished. "Break time's over! Let's continue our hunt!"
