My last few weeks have been well spent, I've not only been entering the dungeons regularly, I've finally made enough money to order a level two bespoke elementary ripe from Calen's workshop.
My new maturation was made with various high-quality tier three materials like manticore leather which was the base leather of my armor, it is quite resistant against physical hits and most elements the choir obviously doesn't provide as high elemental resistance as a hide from an elemental creature, but it's better to have a weak resistance against multiple elements than to have a high resistance to one or two elements.
The reason my new armor is classified as level two, is because of the runes and not the materials I spent a lot of money on the materials used in the armor, but unfortunately the runes in the maturation are very expensive and I have no way of decreasing the at their cost, Calen doesn't accept half payments so I'd have to wait a few more months to gather the money to pay for a full tier three rune set.
So, I opted to make only the base of the runes and only complete them later, so my armor is with incomplete runes so it is a level two armor although most of the materials used are level three, but I don't feel harmed because Calen assured me that she can finish the runes later, so my armor will change from level two to level three.
With my new armor, I feel safer to explore the dungeons that have become more intense for me, since I started to accompany Captain Raven, she called both me and Vera to explore the moonlight forest dungeon.
Although I started on the sixth floor and ended on the twentieth floor, I was quite different from when I explored the dungeon with the other team members. Captain Raven didn't dominate the dungeon like Vera tried to do, she simply protected the min and Vera when we hunted the monsters through the floors.
We stayed more than a day inside the dungeon, even after finding the portal to the upper floor, the captain made us continue to hunt various monsters. The captain simply said that this was a very good opportunity to waste, the dungeon won't kick us out and with a group of three each floor there won't be enough monsters for us to endanger because before the twenty-first floor no level monsters four.
This is one of the very few flaws that dungeons have, as our team is made by a warrior with a gray core, a warrior with a green core and another with a yellow core, the group can enter the initial levels of the dungeon if it was a team without a warrior of gray core the two would have entered the fifteenth floor. According to the captain she will take Raziel next time to explore the dungeon floors as much as possible.
She decided to do this to gather a large number of magic gems, and we got a ridiculous amount on this exploration. We made almost twice as much money as we had made exploring the dark lair. Of course, the expedition money was divided by the whole group and not just by the three, it may seem weird but doing this division the group is getting stronger to explore the floors that we'll have to face level four monsters.
This will be my first time seeing a level four monster and I'm not too excited to meet them, even the weakest would be able to kill me easily. If I get slapped by a level four monster, I will be torn apart that is the difference in strength between level two and four even if i had level four armor i would not be able to survive.
During this week in addition to entering the dungeons and attending my classes, I trained a few times with Hilda and Captain Raven, training with Captain Raven was much more effective she has taught me a lot while she beats me up.
Not only did I learn a few moves to use in close combat, she also taught me how to make an aura punch which is basically an aura sphere is not very useful against animals, beasts and monsters, but to use during club fights and effective as it's a fast, low-consumption blow and considering that my opponent can only be one stage higher than mine, this makes my opponent perhaps not mastered the ability to fire the aura away from the body.
As the elements are also prohibited during fights, relying only on my aura I believe I will have an advantage, thanks to my superior aura control I'm barely able to create an aura armor to cover my wrist even though it's thin armor and already it strengthens my punch more than just adding an aura punch to my empowered punch.
Captain Raven was very surprised when I solidified my aura like a glove, even genies have a hard time doing this when they reach the final stage of the gray core, I only managed to do this because I imitated Captain's aura armor when she used her aura armor to humiliate me or as the captain said, she was teaching me the difference between a warrior with and without an aura armor.
But thanks to captain keeping her armor for a long period of time while she had fun 'taught' me I was able to analyze her aura well, which was not an easy task and really difficult as the aura armor has several layers of aura compacted. and each aura layer of the armor makes it harder for me to study the structure of the aura, if I had tried to analyze the aura of an armor before I advanced to the gray core, I would have just seen an aura blur on the surface of the armor and not he would have been able to replicate the structure of the captain's aura armor.
By Professor Raven's explanation, the aura armor is classified by each layer it has, the more aura layers in harmony the armor is formed the greater the defense and amplification the aura can do. Even Captain Raven can craft a full three-tier armor which already is an achievement that makes any fighter of the same level envy Raven's skill, most of them can only craft a two-tier armor the third tier only is considered. normal for a red core warrior.
I wonder how many layers my mom should be able to do.
I had a big surprise when Raziel took me to meet his mother, she wanted to test me to see if she would accept me as a tracker or risk hiring an unknown tracker, not that hiring me wasn't a risk since I don't even have an experience and generally trackers my age wouldn't have good enough skills to help their expedition.
So, hiring me is as high a bet as hiring an experienced tracker they can't trust, only if I fail, I won't lure any more competitors to the ruins and I can serve as a porter for the group. Between two bad options Raziel's mother chose the one that would least harm her family's interests. Raziel's mother is called Venus Kelence and as the matriarch of her family she was responsible for the expedition to ancient ruins, as the patriarch was busy with conflicts over resources that the nobles were still disputing.
The meeting with Raziel's mother was very strange, I expected her to be very serious and give me a hard audition, but when I checked into the mansion, she treated me very well. Only after talking about trivia and hearing her point out the mistakes Raziel has made or is making in a funny way did she start asking questions about runes.
Only after testing my basic knowledge, she took me to a training camp and gave me a test. The first one had to do with several matrices that were scattered around the training camp, she asked me to disarm or destroy them, as soon as I arrived. in the center of the field, I would pass the test.
This test can be difficult for other rune learners as to disarm one of these matrices he would have to know them, and to break one it was necessary strength combined with knowledge to find the weak points of the matrix, but for me this test is really simple.
Thanks to my eyes I can easily identify the runes that formed the taper arrangements that quit to create the matrices in the training field, when you can read the matrix components easily, because these matrices didn't have several layers of concealment that would be able to disturb my vision, I can disarm them even without having studied them before.
I chose the most direct method to disarm the matrix, this method is only used when there is no need to worry about hiding that the matrix has been disarmed, I used my aura to not only stop the flow of mana and elemental energy from the matrix but also, I've damaged some runes from the matrix.
The arrays were disarmed layer by layer, it only took me a few minutes to go through more than a dozen arrays. Both Raizel's mother and him were shocked at my speed. It's with my surprising result I didn't even have to take the other tests Raziel's mother had prepared.
That's how I was hired as the tracker for the Kelence family expedition.
