Now after checking out his new talent panel Ast decided to check out his physical prowess. From the time he had woken up, he was still sitting in a lotus position afraid that he might accidentally blow up his hut and cause a commotion.
Ast took out the dagger that Edwin had given him and slowly tried to penetrate the skin on his hand. It didn't work, the dagger just slipped along the surface of his hand without causing any damage. Then he tried to put blunt pressure by pressing the tip of the dagger on his hand but still, nothing happened.
Ast was shocked he didn't expect such drastic changes in his body. He very slowly stood up and walked out of the tribe territory. After moving a considerable distance away and checking with his 'all-seeing eye' that no one was near, he started running. To call it running would be an understatement, Ast was like an arrow shot out from the strongest bow, he tried his best not to disperse much energy while running but still he caused quite a ruckus.
Wherever he went there was dust flowing all around and small pits on the ground. It was still early in the morning and Ast had time to kill so he thought of meeting his good friend Alena and then going towards the transit terminal.
Alena was surprised to see Ast, he had changed so much overnight that Alena's mind started thinking about possible explanations and carefully observing Ast's physique. Ast became nervous seeing Alena's inspective gaze.
Suddenly something struck Alena's mind and she became furious and took out her bow and quickly nocked an arrow, ready to shoot at any moment. Ast was surprised by her reaction and he too was angry as he thought she was being an unreasonable brat.
"What's the meaning of this Alena, you do know the meaning of your action right?" Ast said impatiently.
"Ast is it you, because of whom my height has come to a standstill, are you doing magic of some sort and stealing my height?" said Alena seriously.
Listening to Alena's words Ast realised what she was thinking and couldn't stop his laughter. " Hahaha hahaha hehe, Alena you can't be serious right? "
" Ast answers my question then, how did you get taller overnight? And I tell you Ast chrome if you do not explain this to me, you and I are going to be enemies"
Ast had a look of bewilderment on his face, he cannot believe that Alena would be this unreasonable.
"Suit yourself" these were the only words that he spoke and started walking towards his destination. Ast believed that he didn't owe her any explanation and Alena was being too much of a brat today. He knew about her height insecurity but he didn't believe it was to this extent.
After Ast was a distance away from Alena, he heard her cursing him loudly from the distance. Ast simply chuckled and ignored her.
After an hour Ast came to the transit terminal. It was the best place to copy powerful talents and with that in mind, Ast had applied for the work here. But before coming for the job Ast had bought a hoodie and a mask to hide his face. He even dyed his hair black before coming.
Ast got to the transit terminal and went ahead with the identity confirmation process. He had registered as Sam in the adventure guild and applied with the same name through the adventure guild itself. As the adventure guild here was not that prominent, they didn't even bother to take his image nor did they perform a background check, which would be done at any other guild branch.
After arriving Ast was given his job clothes, many asked him about his mask and he downplayed it by saying he has a cold. Ast was wearing a black vest on top of a white shirt, his long hair was fashioned in a bun, which looks neat. Overall he was handsome and presentable.
Today Ast was given the job to wait on a guest arriving at noon. He had to show him around in the beginning and if he requests, Ast had to accompany him throughout his stay in the orient forest.
But coincidentally, this guest of his was the same person who was here to help Dave in his endeavours.
