*One week later*
Damian could be seen dashing with an astonishing speed as he was being chased by a giant tiger. "I never knew magic could be used like this, for the past one week master Argus has been teaching me how to use mana to strengthen your physical and mental state as well as the five senses." Damian said as he leaped into the air before turning to face the tiger which was still running towards him.
"here goes nothing!" Damian said as he dashed towards the tiger at close to sound speed while landing a punch at the jaw of the tiger which instantly exploded before sending it crashing towards a tree.
"It seems increasing my physical ability twenty fold is still my limit, well master Argus said that no monster at the outer or middle side of the forest could hurt me so I should be like super strong now but I can't wait to learn the real deal.!" Damian said as he stared at the corpse of the tiger which had a white orb glowing on top of it.
"I'm sure rufus would like this tiger for dinner!" Damian said with a chuckle before pulling the corpse along with him while neglecting the orb.
*****
"I don't believe it, who would leave the core of a giant tiger on the floor, this is the core of a B rank monster it would fetch for a very high price, it seems our day has been blessed!" A group of adventurer couldn't help but thank their luck for their fortunate encounter.

"Hey big guy, want some?" Daian said tossing the tiger corpse to rufus the silver lion king who wasted no time in diving at it.
"It seems you two are starting to get along!"
"Well I'd rather be with it than against it... By the way you said you have a task for me!"
"oh yes, I need a few items for something very important, I want you to go to the city of moon shades to get them, everything is on this list!" Argus said giving Damian a list and enough money to buy everything on that list.
"The city of moon shades, that's located in the kingdom of Allren, what do you need these for anyways, a potion?" Damian asked I curiosity after seeing the items on the list.
" Something like that! Now off you go, I'll be expecting you in three days time."
*Kingdom of Allren: City of moon shades*
"Milady, are you sure you should trust that mage?" A man wearing full silver armoured asked a lady, from her appearance she looked like a princess.
"If there's any hope for my father to become healthy again, I'll gladly do it!" The princess said with a serious face as she walked alongside the knight who was carrying a bag filled with strange items.
" But princess, I doubt if anything in this bag could be used to heal the king!" The knight said taking another quick glimpse of the items. " You're not a healer so don't bring up that topic again, that's an order!" The princess said with a slight hint of anger on her face but soon focus her attention on something else.
It was a thief who had just stolen the bag of an old lady but no one seemed to be doing anything about it. "Grey! Do something, stop that thief." The princess ordered but the knight was not ready to obey.
"Milady, my duty is to guard and protect you and beside it's just a natural occurrence in the lives of commoners." The knight said with a serious voice which made the princess look at the woman with potty in her face.
*Bang*
The third was sent crashing on the floor by a punch. "Hey, don't you know stealing is bad!" A silver haired kid who was now holding the bag said to the thief on the floor. The boy was no other than Damian.
"Hey kid, if you know what's good for you, give me the bag and stay out of my way or else!"
" Or else what?"
" I like your arrogance kid, prepare to die! Thank goodness my master have me this! Release!" The thief said smashing a black crystal at the ground causing a monster to appear.
"This is a salamander, a C rank monster, now if you don't want to die I suggest you don't interfere In my business and give me back that bag!" The thief said with a grin on his face.
"Don't you think it's time you do something, my safety is threatened by this monster!" The princess said with a serious voice as the knight let out a tired sigh. " Very well!"
"Don't worry, that can't kill me!" Damian said with a bored look on his face. " You ask for it.... Go!" The salamander immediately started to advance towards Damian with an astonishing speed but something unexpected happened.
*Splat*
With a single punch the body of the salamander exploded splattering on the ground. "Impossible!"
"Go to sleep!" Damian immediately disappeared from his current position appearing behind the thief and landing a chop on the back of his neck knocking him out cold.
"Here you go!" Damian said handing the bag back to the old lady who had a strange smile on his face. "Thank you!"The old lady said with a smile just as she was about to say something... "If I may ask? What's in the bag that would make that kind of thief try to steal it?" Damian asked with a but of curiosity as the bag was surprising heavy but with the texture he felt it looked like it was something soft.
"It's a family inheritance, it pains me I have no offspring, you know what! You were willing to risk your life for it, you've earned it, take it but only open the bag when you get home!" The old lady said as she handed the bag over to Damian.
Just as Damian was about to thank her she vanished. "What the!" Damian was shocked as hell but after remembering how the world works he brushed the thought off his mind.
"Damn it, I must have dropped the lost that master have me!" Damian said as he is realised that the list was no longer in his pocket.
" Here you dropped this!" The princess said to Damian while walking towards hum alongside her knight.
" Thank you!" Damian said as he took it from the princess and attempted to leave when the knight stopped him. "hold on! I get it you're a bit strong but that doesn't mean you should be arrogant, come back and pay your respect to the princess!" Grey said with an aura of intimidation which made Damian to wear a wry smile on his face. It wasn't that Damian was ignorant it was due to the fact that he hadn't been to the city before and don't know if her dressing was the normal dressing code for rich people.
" How would I know, it wasn't written in her face that she was a princess and from what I've read in books, most princesses wear tiaras." Damian said while still intending to leave.
"Stop!" The princess said with a low voice as Damian turned back to look at her before bowing slightly.
"Are you a knight or maybe an adventurer?" The princess asked with a curious voice but Damian said he wasn't any. "Good, then how about you come work for the royal family as a high ranking knight, I promise we'll pay you handsomely!"
"Thanks but no thanks! I have a master already, don't think too highly of me, I'm nothing but a common orphan. If you may excuse me, I'm running errands for my master as you can see!"
"Stop you're under arrest!!"
