Elena, Schwartz, and Nana were in the secret offices of the Trainer Association. In front of them was the person called "Master" by Senolia. He was the one who gave them the mission. The atmosphere in this place was always the same, dim and silent. They are underground. All the crowds there are also minimized with soundproof walls.
"So that's how it happened. There are indeed agents from the Black Night Company hiding there." The master sighed. He realized how troublesome it was going to be. "You did your job well, Schwartz."
"Thank you."
"Fumu, who's on this mission" said Elena.
"(You think who the parties involved don't want to be involved.)" Aya rolled her eyes, taking her eyes off Elena.
"Then for you, Young Miss. Aren't you in trouble with the report if there's a gas leak? It's a little hard if we say there's a dangerous plot." His eyes looked at Nana.
"It's okay. I also know you are in a difficult situation. At least I will help by not bothering you guys,” replied Nana.
“Huh... great.” He breathed a sigh of relief. “I thought about how dizzy the Association would be if information about them became known to the public. If there's anything you want, just tell me. I'll give it as long as I can. Well, although it won't remember much of your assets.”
Nana has a large company that her family has left behind. Not many people could make an attractive offer to him. Money cannot buy everything, but many things can be done using money.
“Then can you allow me to participate in your activities? I'm very interested in being a secret agent,” pinta Nana.
“Are you sure? This job has a playful salary with the risk of not messing around.”
“Wait! Does that mean I'm not paid!” scream Elena.
“It is not not salaried, but the salary is much cheaper considering the risk of life.” He's clarifying. “Please just upload this to be a window cleaner skyscraper.” He went back to Nana. “Given you who have either, it's fine to involve you. But do you dare?”
“Sure no problem. I'll do it with all my energy!” Nana clenched her hand. “It would be rude if I didn't return their greetings, wouldn't it?” He showed a big smile on his face.
“Oke, okay. I'll take you as one of us.” In his mind, ‘I'm still hesitant to invite strangers. But he can be trusted.’
“Then is there a mission now? I want to go straight to duty!” said Nana.
“Mission this time?” He opened one of the sheets of paper on his desk. “There's one. This is not a secret mission. This mission is left to us because the path is very dangerous.”
Elena raised her hand and said, “If the reward is not there or cheap I want to retire. Lazy I did.” He really has no motivation.
“(Yep, that's right. I don't want to get involved either.)” Aya nodded with her eyes closed.
“Temple, this time the gift is quite tempting for a Trainer. This time his task was to take the Fruit of Evolution. You can leave it to the Association to earn money or use it yourself.”
“Fruit Evolution?” Elena wondered.
“Ish, you are. Don't you know the Fruit of Evolution at all?” schwartz. “That Evolution, yes. That is ...”
Being able to strengthen one's penther instantly, there was no doubt that many people wanted it. Trainers who have money can level up more easily with the many resources they have. The power of money!
“Alright, now I understand. The point is it can make us stronger.” Elena nodded.
“(Finally I can get a salary,)” said Aya.
Schwartz has no penther and Nana's is either. Among the three of them Aya was the only other person so there was no doubt that she would consume the fruit. From the large amount of cheap pay during this time, he finally gained an increase in strength.
Work overtime like a horse, until you forget the old man.
“Then let's get it and sell it. ‘Mayan is for luxury as long as it is here.”
Elena will also return to her world after her Dragon Vein returns or if the Noctis squad finds her. Giving it to a colleague who was about to be left was not very beneficial to him.
“(Give to me, woy!)” Aya rebel. He claws Elena's hair. “(After all the work I do, at least give me a bonus!)” his yell.
“Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! What are you doing, Aya!” Elena ran to the rest of the room while trying to pull Aya. “Stop! Stop!”
Nana laughed at him. “Hahaha, very cute, yes. Maybe his cat was angry when he knew his Master would use it for personal gain.” He used his right hand to cover his mouth.
Schwartz shook his head at their foolish behavior. He advanced to face the Master and asked, “Why is this mission considered dangerous? Indeed the location of the tree that has the fruit is in the wild. But why did it get to us this time?”
“Hollow Forest, that is where the Fruit of Evolution this time appeared. You already know what this means, ‘kan?” His eyes sharpened on Schwartz.
“Ho-Hollow Forest?” Nana flabbergasted. “What is it?” She wondered just like Elena.
“You are, yes...” Schwartz explained.
The wild penthers in the Hollow Forest are not particularly dangerous. The mid-level penthers were enough to fight them. But the problem is different when thinking about the geographical conditions there. Hollow Forest is often shrouded in mist. This makes it difficult for people to walk. The magnetic field makes navigation useless. Moisture spots and close penther variations on the water make the fire element less useful.
The most recommended exploration is to use a wind-elemented penther. They can blow the fog. But attacks that require a lot of movement before launch are highly ineffective. This is because trees that are too lush block the movement. Soil elements are disturbed plant roots and water elements are owned by opponents. A very dangerous place.
“Alright, I get it.” Nana nodded. “Then I will send someone from Runaria Company to cut down every tree.”
“Do that and you'll be arrested for illegal logging,” Schwartz scorn. “We will penetrate the forest with a little damage to nature.”
“Oh, by the way I sent you to go to Senolia place. Only Elena and Nana will be involved in this mission.”
“Hmm? Is this SOS?” Schwartz. “What is his enemy that strong?”
“Just the contrary. He should have finished, but not yet returned. I want you to make sure he doesn't laze.”
