They quickly left the town in the early hours and reached the farming area. They passed the areas where groups of farmers and soldiers were active. They started to move deeper. Mady was able to kill the Maui Pigeons in one shot. Her current prowess was more than enough to take down these birds in one shot. After a while, Piper's task was just to collect the birds.
When Mady saw Piper's relaxed demeanor, she couldn't help but say "Piper, remember? You know, there was a giant snake. A bird had landed on it while everything was running from it. Would you please be more cautious? we are now in a world where nothing is guaranteed."
Piper wrinkled her nose and extended her finger to Mady. "Are you the one saying that? You were the one who made Viny and Amos enemies because of your relaxed attitude. Hahaha"
Mady frowned, throwing her hair behind her ear. "I thought the Japanese had captured Viny. It turns out that the situation was different. Ahh, you know that Japanese accomplished this very difficult task?"
Piper stuck her tongue out and walked over to the bird they had just hunted. While Mady was going to laugh by showing her teeth, she suddenly stopped laughing. Piper took a knife in her hand and started autopsy the pigeon. She was tearing every part of it one by one.
Mady watched Piper perform an autopsy by dissecting one of the birds. Bones or muscles in the areas of the bird's aqua points continued to hold energy. Thus, armor, goods and similar things could be produced with these parts. They discovered that the bird's Dantan organ was shaped like a glass globe above its heart. Green energies were coming out of it.
After examining these glass spheres with green energy, Piper realized that she could draw energy into her body faster and stronger than natural free energy or mana crystals.
"Mady, I can absorb the mana in these spheres more easily and quickly. You must try it too!"
Mady tried to extract the energy from the green sphere using the energy conversion method but realized that it was not even as effective as the mana crystal. They understood that these green spheres contain four elements-force energy. Only those prone to the four elements-force could use. Piper decided that these green orbs were good for her and collected green orbs from all the next 20 hunts.
They hunted around 300 birds in total. More precisely, Mady hunted. Because she was attacking with three times powerful with the technique she learned. With the grade-2 weapon and 17 acupuncture points, all living things below the gathering energy sixth level were a single shot for her. Piper thought that her ring was too full, and that further hunting was unnecessary, she offered to return. Mady had to catch the evening class anyway.
The two were back in town. They quickly stopped at the Governor's mansion. This time with the governor there was his wife. When Mady and Piper entered, they smiled and greeted the woman. The woman was watching without blinking, wondering what the troubles of these two young girls were, she saw for the first time.
Mady thanked the Governor and they started trading their catch. "Thank you for introducing me to Sebastian. My skills have improved a lot. That's why we will provide you with a loaded shipping."
After the governor took the birds one by one, he gave them 6500 mana crystals. As the two walked away, they laughed out loud. After the girls went away, his wife asked with curiosity while she grabbing and pulling his hair "Why did you send these women to him? Are you thirsty for your life?"
The governor clenched his teeth and pleaded "Honey. Where can we get the conversion method on archery? They had asked on their previous return from the hunt. I remembered that if Sebastian found his inheritor, he would reward me. I tried my chance. Why would he kill me for this? And he asked for it from me himself."
After the governor convinced his wife, he called his four men and ordered them to go to the city by giving the ring with the birds. He could have earned 1000 mid-level mana crystals from this sale. He only gave 6500 mini mana crystals.
Mady and Piper ordered the most luxurious meal at the hotel. They repeated the body technique after the meal. But they saw that it was useless. "Piper, that dishonest cheated on you. How can such an expensive method be useless? You must take your revenge." Piper, who was full of tears when she heard what Mady said, nodded and clenched her teeth. *(1)*
One day before the end of her training with Sebastian, Mady returned to the hotel in the evening and completed the mental exercise and realized that the method was no longer working. Mady got in front of Piper and they started having a drink together.
"Your trainings must have been remarkably effective. You were able to develop very quickly."
"Yeah. I feel great. The educational contribution is great. He teaches a special technique. Now I can shoot arrows with five times the power."
"I will come as tomorrow is the last day. There are 3 weeks left. Let's go find that crow then."
"Let's find out. The energy method I have passes through 40 points. The 81-point method is not effective at all, I guess it would be fine even if I didn't take the other half." *(2)*
"Mady don't say that. We will get the rest whether it is free or paid. You can get a better method when you go to the system room. However
it makes more sense to have something on hand until then."
"Okay."
"Mady, I opened the 56th point this afternoon. I haven't been 90 yet."
"You are crazy. If it was that easy, everyone would be."
"No, you don't understand. This is just a beginner level. Things ahead will be more astronomical. Even if I spend a lot of life energy right now, I will definitely get its advantage."
"Who would say pigeons could give you extra easy access to mana. By many times better than using a mana crystal. Of course, you open the 56th. I was able to open the 20th in the morning using the mana crystal. I don't know what our end will be."
The two spent the night in meditation. Until noon Piper opened her 57th and Mady opened her 21st acupoints. They used mana and demon crystals. *(3)*
Sebastian has made her repeat all of his training from start to finish. Then he whistled and a young man came from outside. "Master!" he said and bowed.
"Come on, come Cayson. Take that knife and attack me with your technique, without using energy."
Cayson must be very familiar with the knife that he was manipulating it very skillfully. Sebastian took the bow and defended it against the knife with his bow and arrows, using exactly the technique he taught Mady.
Sebastian was kicking Jason back as he would do the fatal move each one in two moves. Mady was shocked to see that the technique was used like this. Piper felt that a chill runs down her spine. If Mady could apply this technique like Sebastian presented, she could easily kill Piper even if she only opened 21 points. Despite her hard work, Piper was upset that she was technically behind. 'After a while, I should find a teacher too. If I learn from someone who knows water techniques well, I wouldn't need to hesitate.'
About 10 minutes later, Jason gave up. Sebastian smiled and turned to Mady. Mady took the bow and arrow. Sebastian got a knife. Mady fought against the knife for 1 hour. Finally, she was in rhythm. Sebastian was delighted with that. Mady's mighty body made him happy.
*(1)* [Mady didn't even know how much stronger Piper was right now than she was. They could not comment on their strength in any way, as they had never trained to fight each other. They would be able to see their stats when they reached level 10 in the system. A normal agent would reach level 10 after doing 5-6 of the easy missions. So, the agent would activate his/her system. When the system reached level 10, one could constantly check his/her statistics.
Soul formation missions were tasks to be done between levels 10 and 20. The quests for Soul Core level were the ones they could do when the system reached level 20 and 30. That's why the advantage of bodybuilding techniques was very important at first. The duo had gotten too strong because they had opened too many acupoints and the techniques were not working. Soon the mind enhancement technique would cease to be effective.]
*(2)* [Since Mady cannot see her statistics, half of the method she has is 40 points, the whole method she assumes 81 points, but the energy conversion method she currently uses is a method with 90 acupuncture points. Therefore, she is not aware of the increase in her power.]

[Piper Physical Power: 17.25 Agility: 17.25 Intelligence: 2.8]
