"Finally done! Took longer than expected but I finally managed to fill in the missing gap in my equipment. It's unfortunate that no one is selling accessories, seems like they are pretty rare. I guess I should consider myself extremely lucky to own a ring and a bracelet. At least I managed to find some decent pants, helmet and off-hand."

"Not the best but better than nothing. Shame I couldn't find any passive skill books. I guess it's too early for those types of items to show up in the market."

"Exactly ten hours, what can I do during that time?"
Having reached his levelling goal and managing to fill in the missing gap in his equipment. Mylo didn't have anything else to do. Even if he went outside to hunt some mobs, he wouldn't gain much experience since most of the mobs near Valsea Kingdom were of lower level than him. And he didn't feel like logging out. He felt it was a waste to log out and not be productive during those 10 hours in game. After agonizing for two minutes, he finally decided on a simple way to use his time.
"I should check in with my old pals."
Indeed, Mylo hasn't visited Efferus or Aureus a single time since he left the Kingdom. It was around two weeks in game since he left. He decided to catch up with them, since the chances of him leaving the Kingdom once more after the event ends where mostly guaranteed. Mylo closed off his auction window and left towards Efferus living quarter.

*Knock-Knock*
"…"
*Knock-Knock*
"…why is no one answering?"
*Bump*
"…?"
"What was that sound?"
*Bam*
"The sound is coming from the back."
Mylo walked over the back of the house and saw a familiar figure, Aureus. He was constantly hitting and sweeping around a wooden sword hitting a sturdy and roughed out tree. Aureus was drenched in sweat and was breathing heavier and heavier every time he would swing his wooden sword around.
"…what is he doing?"
"Hey! Aureus!"
"HA!"
"…Aureus!"
"HA!"
"Can't he hear me?"
Aureus seemed to be in total focus with his motions and couldn't hear or see anyone within his bubble. Mylo approached him and stretched out his arm and grabbed Aureus shoulders. At this moment, a sudden object could be seen heading towards Mylo's face. With quick reflexes, Mylo used his other arm and grabbed into the wooden sword.
"Whoa there!"
"Cosmo! I-I am so sorry. I didn't mean to attack you like that."
"Haha, don't worry about. I tried calling you but you didn't answer me."
"I apologize, I was so focused in my training that I..."
"I see, seems like Efferus is teaching you how to fend for yourself. Good for you."
"Yes! He even said that I remind him of you."
"Oh? In what way?"
"Hmm, he said that I could concentrate the same way you do during training."
"…I see."
'Seems like he has the extreme concentration passive skill as well. He isn't known as the golden child for no reason.'
"Where's Efferus? He doesn't seem to be around."
"He left a few hours ago with a big man. He said he had some business to do with him and asked me to keep training until I get tired."
"A big man? It has to be Ulyle, he didn't waste any time did he…"
"You know him?"
"Yeah, his a friend of mine."
"Well, it's a shame that Efferus isn't here. I would have loved to catch up with him as well."
"Don't worry Big Brother! I'm here to play with you if you want."
'Big Brother?'Mylo suddenly whispered to himself, surprised by the sudden change in greetings.
"Hahaha! Then what would like to do Aureus? Do you want to go eat or play with the other kids at the park?"
"No, I want to go hunting outside of the kingdom walls."
"What!? Why would you want to do that. You're too young to go outside and hunt ferocious beasts. Stop joking around."
"I'M NOT KIDDING! FATHER SAID THE SAME THING!"
"Then you have to listen to him. He knows best what's good for you."
"But he told me he could hunt when he was my age. Why can't I do it too!?"
"…let's make a bet."
"A bet?"
"Yes, let's spar. If you're able to lend a single hit on me in a fifteen minute duration. I will bring you outside to hunt one beast. But if you lose, you have to promise me that you will listen to your father's every word and not complain about it."
"…okay! But you can't regret it when you lose big brother."
"Alright then, come at me whenever you're ready!"
"HA-"
