Neo looked around.
He tried to find Selene.
"Where is she? Don't tell me she thought I wouldn't return and left."
It did not bode well.
Neo needed the blood droplets.
The last droplet helped him recover 10% of his Divine Energy.
Four more droplets and he could recover all the Divine Energy he lost in the contract with Paimon.
"I need it no matter what.
"If I had my original Divine Energy pool during the student council test, I would've been able to use the blessing more freely and broken Percival's record."
Neo left the building.
He was looking around the town, searching for Selene and found her.
The spider was eating noodles on an open stall.
She froze when she noticed Neo.
"N-neo? Why are you here?"
"I told you I'll come to complete the mission."
"W-wait, you are here for that?!"
She slurped the noodles in one smooth motion and came out of the stall in a hurry.
"Should we start the mission?"
"That's why I'm here."
Selene was excited and grateful.
The two left the Tartale town.
"Thank you for coming, Neo. I really mean it. It's been difficult to find teammates.
"If you didn't come, I didn't know what I would've done."
"It's fine. I'm just completing my side of the deal."
"Yup, about that, you don't need to worry. The blood droplet location I know is still a secret.
"I'm the only one who knows about it."
Neo nodded.
They were moving away from the Tartale town at a swift pace thanks to Selene's Shadow Movement Spell.
"Can you tell me something about this Mad Hound? How strong is he?"
…
Soul Hunter Building, Tartale Town
The flying skull, Skalix, tended to the mission reports as usual.
The long lines of Soul Hunters before his desk never ended.
It was a usual day for Skalix until he noticed a commotion.
"Get in line, you fucker!"
"Stop breaking the line! We've been waiting for an hour for our turn! How dare you break the line?!"
A sigh escaped Skalix's lips.
"Must be a newbie if they don't know the rules…"
Skalix stopped speaking when he noticed the golden badge on the 'newbie' shoulder.
"T-that's the badge of a Soul Reaper! Hey, you idiots shut up!"
The flying skull floated towards the center of the commotion.
"Don't shout, idiots! Can't you recognize your superiors?"
He scolded the people before turning to the girl who broke the line.
She had blue hair and twisted horns on her head.
Skalix took a subservient attitude in front of her.
"What does our humble town owe the honor of a visit from a Soul Reaper?"
Silence fell over the hall.
They couldn't believe Skalix's words.
Soul Reaper was the highest rank.
It was just one step away from the mythical Grim Reapers.
The ones who had shouted at the girl quivered.
"We-we're sorry, Miss. We didn't recognize you." freēwebnovel.com
