Estrella brought Loki over to the infirmary wing they, thankfully, have set up near the exam room. While waiting for Loki to awaken, Estrella starts thinking about how Loki was able to move the way he did.
After 20 minutes, she broke her thoughts as she hears Loki wake up while making groaning sounds and asks him, "How are you feeling Loki?"
Loki puts a hand on his head, trying to hold his brain from the headache, replying, "I feel not so good, like an orc bonked my head and laughed loudly in each ear."
"Odd description... but okay, anyways, I have a few questions before you can continue resting. Where did you learn to move like that?" asked Estrella hoping to understand Loki's movements wondering if he was taught by a martial arts master.
"No, I wasn't allowed to learn anything when I was younger, so I just watched our villages warriors practice and pictured myself moving the same way." Responded Loki still trying to make the room stop spinning.
Estrella sighed before saying, "Well, alright, you rest here and I'm going to go get your new Adventurer's ID."
As she walks away Loki begins to sit up and think to himself about his fight against the examiner, wondering how he could've approached that fight differently 'If only I used my mana more appropriately and moved into him when I shot the stone bullets, I could've landed more hits and taken it further. My ability to dodge is quite lackluster too.'
Engrossed in his thoughts, Estrella walks back in after only a few minutes and walks up to Loki, feeling a tap on his shoulder wakes him up. Loki looks over to see Estrella holding a shiny new card with a red letter D on the front of the card instead of a bronze lettered E.
"Sweet! Thank you!" Exclaimed Loki inspecting the new card, a wave of desire to go out and go adventuring again washes over him, but then fatigue followed behind just as fast.
Estrella sees his excitement and giggles a little, before remembering something and instructed Loki to rest and said, "Rest up, the Guild Master asked me to make sure you went to see him after your exam, you've been to his office, just knock on his door when you are feeling better."
Estrella leaves once again and Loki just sits back and thought to himself, 'It's been a while since I looked at my stat panel'

Looking over his stats, thinking about upgrading his armor once he's done talking to the guild master, so he checks how much money he has too. After looking, he sees 125,640 total gold, and finally remembers he rich as sh*t.
'Guess I don't have to worry about how much new armor will cost, thought I'm sure half of my pocket will deflate from this..' Loki thought to himself as he felt like he wasn't going to be rich anymore, which isn't wrong.
After more than 20 minutes of resting and thinking about his future some more before getting up to finally go talk to the Guild Master. Walking out of the infirmary and heading back to the main part of the Adventurer's Guild, Loki walks towards the door at the back where the Guild Master's office is and knocks 3 times.
A gruff voice comes through the door in a commanding manner "Come in."
Opening the door, Guild Master Chris was sitting there reading some reports and looks up and says while gesturing to the seat on the other side of the desk, "Ah, you're here, come take a seat kid."
Loki walks over to the seat and asks, "You asked to see me? I remember us talking about learning more about my nature affinity and was hoping to get start on that soon."
The Guild Master nodded before responding, "Yes, I would like to get you going on your training, that's actually why I called you here. I think you are more than ready to start learning all there is about Nature, especially since you already know {Stone Bullet} and {Stone Shield}"
Loki looked forward with excited determination and said "I am ready, I would like to learn everything I can. When do we start? I would like to right away if possible."
"We can start right away. How about in the morning? For now, you should go rest because it will be tough training, I will not be holding back." The Guild Master answered with a chuckle and a slight grin that sent shivers down Loki's spine.
Loki leaves to go do some shopping and rest like the Guild Master said and come back refreshed and ready. A determined glint passes through Loki's eyes that didn't go unnoticed by the Guild Master that made him intrigued on how hard he can be pushed to make Loki stronger faster.
Meanwhile, Loki as he walks out focuses on shopping for new armor cause he is going to need it for affinity training more than any fight he's ever been in. Walking towards the market, he heads over to an armor shop and looks to buy level 15-17 armor.
Looking at all the prices of armor, Loki feels a little light headed at the prices for only 3 pieces of armor at level 15 with one being level 17.
Superior Chestplate

Boots of Haste

For a total of 47,500 Gold, Loki is looking at insane upgrades and thankfully as a learning blacksmith, repairs will be easy incase they get insanely damaged during training. Making the purchases and receiving the armor and equipping it, Loki is left with 78,140 gold in his pocket, way more than he thought he was going to have.
"It's always nice to have extra gold in case something happens we're going to try to keep it that way, yes." Loki said while nodding to himself trying to not become a spendthrift.
Loki heads back towards the smithy to talk to Ignatius about his new adventurer's rank and training with the Guild Master before heading to bed and getting into his next training arc.
