REWARDS
Present...
Syton wants to cry after reminiscing the painful training he have went through for the past few months. But he was still satisfied with the results since it was just proven earlier on how strong he have gotten. Those hellish torture with Lilia, Hershey, Riki, and other members of New Rion guild, was worth it.
"Could you tell me, what rank these adventurers around us?" Syton asked.
Even though Stalane didn't know why Syton asked, she still answered his question. "Most of them are at least rank 5H to 1H. Although, there are a few who are also at a rank G and F"
Syton nods. "Then you don't have to be too tense and you should relax instead. You could put your guard down a little bit."
Stalane raised her left eyebrow. But Syton just chuckled. This is when Syton confirmed that Stalane was really too inexperienced in terms of calculating strengths based on rank.
"I told you, didn't I? You're current status are almost equal to a rank F to E braver. Plus, you have your notitia to inspect their stats. You could tell from there if you're stronger or not" Syton explained.
Stalane widened her eyes then bit her lower lips. She asked herself why she haven't thought about that! When she's on Earth, she could easily tell if someone was stronger than her or not. It seems she's now getting rusty.
Her confidence level also seems to be sinking since she's really not that too familiar with the world she's currently standing at. Up until now, she is still adjusting on how things work in this world.
"Where's Kian?" Syton asked.
Stalane woke up from her bewilderment after she heard Syton's question.
She pointed where Kian is by looking at its direction.
"What are we gonna do when you knocked Gerin out?" Stalane asked the important question.
Aero, as the representative of the guild, came forward after hearing their conversation.
"We'll contact you when master wakes up"
Stalane looked at Syton to ask if he's fine with it. But it looks like she doesn't even have to ask. Syton already stood up and was ready to go out.
"Well, that's good. I already sent a friend request so you could contact me anytime. We'll be waiting for the reward that we both deserved" Syton said after he closed his visual screen.
Aero nodded. "Of course"
Syton tapped Aero's shoulder before he went outside the guild house. Stalane hurriedly followed him.
"We're just leaving? Just like that?"
Syton looked at Stalane, confused at what she asked. "Well, it depends on you whether you'll stay or not. I plan to look around this place to familiarize myself though. It'll be troublesome if I got lost"

When Gerin woke up, Kiara and Kian quickly ran towards their grandfather. Gerin groaned in pain when he tried to sit up.
"Master, don't force yourself. Just lie down" The healer said.
"Grandpa!" Kiara and Kian cried out.
Gerin looked at his grandchildren then patted their head.
"I'm fine" he said reassuring his grandchildren.
Gerin could still remember how he was utterly defeated by Syton. It was his fault for underestimating the youth because of its rank. He should've used notitia to carefully study its stats before asking Syton into a battle.
It was his miscalculation.
"Where are they?" Gerin asked Aero, who was also standing near him.
"I think they're wandering around the Iteria town"
Gerin nodded. "Then prepare some weapons that you think would best suit them"
Aero obediently did what Gerin told him. He chose some best weapons that is best for a rank 5H bravers but have a quality of a rank 3G weapon.
"What do you think of the girl?" Gerin asked Aero.
Aero, who witnessed the strength of Stalane and who knew her current notitia level, told everything he knew to his master.
Gerin was shocked to hear about this. Those two surely not your typical newbie bravers. In fact, they shouldn't be even in 5H rank anymore!
Those two performed really well for the quest. The quest was not even needed for them to learn anything anymore! The quest appeared to be a joke for the both of them!
Gerin gave a small sigh, "You may call them over now. I owe Syton some answers to his questions, after all."
Aero obliged as he immediately contacted Syton.
After 30 minutes, Syton and Stalane arrived. They were greeted by the old man who was now comfortably sitting to a chair.
A lot of weapons was also presented at the table. Syton was amazed at the sight but Stalane remained unfazed.
"Hey! How'd you going, old man? You really owe me a lot, you know? My back hurts from carrying you all the way here! Who knew that you would be sleeping over me while we are in the middle of a fight!" Syton energetically greet Gerin.
Gerin, who got insulted, threw his sickle towards Syton. Stalane easily caught this, which made both Gerin and Syton caught off guard.
But Gerin immediately divert his attention to Syton. "Where's your manners, huh?"
Syton laughed as he walk towards where Gerin is. He touched the swords that was displayed on the table.
"So are we gonna choose among these?"
Aero, who was at the side, nodded to answer his question. "Yes. You may choose from any of them"
Stalane also walk forward. She scanned the weapons with her eyes. But she got interrupted when Syton nudge her from her side.
"Hey, try using notitia. Then tell me which weapon would suit me the best"
Stalane raised her left eyebrow, "Why do you think I would know what weapon will suit you?"
Syton shrugged. "Well, you have a higher level of notitia? Just appraise them and tell me. I'd figure it out myself then"
Stalane stared at him for a minute before she sighed in defeat. Just like what Syton said, she used notitia to examine the stats of the weapon.
After that, she told Syton the details. She could say how disappointed Syton was. Even she was not that satisfied with anything that was presented. It was just a weapon that were enough to say as a temporary weapon.
It really looks like she need to look or create her own weapon to satisfy what she needs.
"I guess this will do for now" Syton said as he choose a sword with a name Iaka Sword.
