It was already evening and sun had started to set by the time they reached the city. Haven't eaten all day they both were angry and went to a secluded cafe to eat dinner.
"Who was that man?", after finishing food Sam asked.
// Rose's words will be enclosed within ' { } '
{ He was a mercenary hired to kill me. }
"Hmm, and who are you?", Sam was curious to find beneath her beautiful face what reality does she hide.
For a minute Rose would write something only to erase it increasing Sam's suspicions that she might be a fugitive. Rose shows her memo and Sam's expression darkened.
[My answer is you escape as fast as possible], Sei commented.
'I may be in deeper shit if I don't escape now, right?' , replied Sam.
As Sam had thought Rose was a fugitive but she didn't tell him her whole story like from whom she was running. This meant Sam can wash his hand's from everything and mind his own business.
He slowly rose from the seat and after saying goodbye went straight for the door. He was about to open the door when he felt a small tug from behind.
{ Thank you for helping today. See you again. }
"Don't mention it", Sam said this while slowly removing her hand. Closing the door behind him, he ran as fast as he can.
"Finally my beloved bed".

It has been two weeks and Sam still had no intention of going to the guild. In this time he has been focusing on training from
"How long are you going to stay here. Experience and hardships make a man", his master Cain explained.
"Master, for the time being I want to continue practicing and when I think I am ready I will go out".
"What a good disciple I have", Cain can do nothing but laugh.
After experiencing battle with Zola, Sam was left with a bitter taste of defeat and wanted to be strong enough. Like that a month passed with him mastering everything Cain has to teach him.
"Finally I am ready. Let's go a new adventure awaits".

"Is there nothing that can help me level up faster", seeing the f badge in his hand Sam thought.
"How about you register yourself for the dungeon exploration quest", turning back he saw Tia smiling. "What is this quest about?", he asked.
"Next week they are going to try to clear the 10th floor of the dungeon and all the participants will have their rank raised if successful", explained Tia.
[Not a bad idea. You can also see how much you have grown by fighting the dungeon monsters], Sei added.
"How can I apply then?". Tia gave Sam a form to fill out. "Besides rank upgrade what more benefits do we get?".
"You will be paid 1.5X more for every monster stone and you can also get bonus based on your performance".
"Oooh, this job is exactly what I was looking for", exclaimed Sam.
In one corner of the guild a familiar person could be seen observing Sam and then looking at the form in her hand.
Since that day, Rose would come to the guild everyday in hopes of meeting him again. Seeing him today Rose had a slight smile on her face. What was going in her head only Rose knew.
After submitting the form, Sam picked the job of collecting NightMoon herb, which grew on the hill nearby.
