Yana glares at her sister, she can't help but complain. "It's all your fault, big sis, why did you tease him knowing that he's already suffering so much?"
"How can I cannot? He's always calm and confident, he seldom leaves himself vulnerable, taking all responsibility by himself, pushing himself to his limit, we rarely see him get embarrassed like this and I'm going to treasure this moment."
The girls looks at each other and smiles wryly, they can accept her reason.
Nima was happy for her friend, not only did she become a Spiritual Tamer but also a martial artist.
She's always been depressed and work herself to the bone, only showing her true self when she felt safe.
Now that she achieved her goal, she doesn't need to always be pressed by her own self-esteem.
"I can't believe that you achieve success in your martial arts earlier than me." Nima joked.
Her martial art is actually going quite smoothly, it won't take long before she reaches Vital Realm.
The only thing that's holding her back is actually the Gold Eating Beast.
It has a tremendous potential but it's early stage of development is quite slow and she has to work hard for the both of them to grow stronger.
In fact, their generation is quite lucky, with the advent of Sean discovering the location of Golden Paradise, they can now nurture their Gold Eating Beast much faster compared to the old generation.
"Yana, you're next, please don't copy your big sister, you don't know how much charm you guys possess!" Sean looks at her vigilantly.
She chuckles and says. "You, on the other hand, don't know how handsome you had become, if not for the fact that we're now used to your appearance, we might had fallen head over heels to you."
He doesn't know that she said her true feelings within those words.
Once again, they start the entire process of transformation from the beginning.
Sean's action is much smoother than the first two, it's because of the mantra he created in his mind.
'She's underage! She's underage! She's underage!' He repeated these words, over and over again and again.
His eyes were closed during all this time, it's because he doesn't want to see the epitome of youth and sexy in one setting.
The body of the people of this world matures quickly because of the presence of vital force, Yana, with her mutant elf bloodline already dwarfs most girls older than her in terms of body.
Sean doesn't want this in his conscience, especially, since he treats her like his little sister.
Unbeknownst to him, he was so focused that the words that should only be in his mind was spoken by his mouth.
"She's your little sister, don't lust over her! She has a great body but don't lust over her, she's underage!" He repeated these over and over again.
Everyone heard him and they can't help but try to hold back their laughter but at least they can see that he truly cares for his family.
Even Yana smile, at least, this meant that he cares deeply for her wellbeing and at the same time, not impervious at her charm.
It's just that, he seems to really prefer women of age, even mature women like her mother.
There are still two years before she can reach the age of consent, she grips her fist and will try her best to seduce.
Unaware of his sister's thought, Sean feels a chill running down his spine, it was a sense of danger unlike he had ever experienced before, confusing him.
Yana's core was in her head, after the transformation completed, she actually produce some sort of strange energy.
Magnetic force!
It might be weak but it's still an extremely rare innate power.
Sean is happy for her and wish her the best, he then falls to the ground, sleeping like a log.
"Your transformation is complete, we should return to the city, the three of you need to consolidate your foundation."
She then approached Tsu and Hina and whispers something to them, their face turns pale as they glance at the sleeping Sean.
Meanwhile, back in the city, everyone was now watching with glee as how the students of City Z5 performs at the Outside.
The fan favourite was team two, consisting of only females with all their looks are incredibly appealing.
Missel with a fiery red hair and a fiery personality to boot is seen as a female hero.
Dorothy was as pretty, she's now called the outsiders' flower since she isn't a student of their school.
Finally, the most beautiful person amongst the student, Kommi, she's graceful, elegant and strong, the impact of her cute kitten is also quite great.
She's currently the majority's favourite and has now earned a lot of fans, wether civilians or martial artists.
At the Outside, Jericho's group were struggling, the two boys are glaring at Emirose.
The latter was silent as her performance can only be described as embarrassing.
Her knowledge is great but all of them are only theory, rather than helping them, she's the one dragging them behind.
Jericho can't help but recall the discussion between the two of them.
-----
"You should start preparing for the exam, you don't have to worry about Bones as he's basically like you." Sean advises.
"The one you need to worry about is Emirose, nine out of ten, she'll drag your group behind because of her own pride, this will test your capability as a martial artist and as a leader."
"Hahaha! Don't worry, I won't get angry at such a cute girl, who knows perhaps she'll ask to be my girlfriend after the exam after seeing how dependable I am!" Jericho proudly states.
"Really? I think that you and Missel are actually a much better pair." Sean teases.
"Shut up! F*ck you, Sean! I won't be in a relationship with that bear!" He flicks a middle finger at him.
------
He sighs, he didn't think that his friend's words would resonate so deeply with him.
"Emirose." Hearing her name called, she trembles, during their multiple interaction with different mystique creatures, it was Jericho who lead them to safety.
They might not had hunted any one of them but that's because he was carrying the two of them.
"I know about your disposition, Sean already warned me about you, I don't know why but that shitface actually expect so much from me to pair me up with you two." He sighs.
Bones was speechless. "What did I do!?"
"You? You always charge head-on! Do you really think that your desperate fighting style will get you anywhere in the wilderness, you aren't fighting flowers raised in a greenhouse like Emirose, you're fighting wild mystique creatures that survived in a harsh environment!"
He admonished, causing the latter to lower his head.
"And you!" He points at Emirose before rubbing his forehead in disappointment.
"I can't believe that you! Compared to the two of us knuckleheads, you should have a better mind and yet you squandered it all because of your godd*mn pride! If you provide us with support and knowledge, we wouldn't wasted so much time running away!"
Emirose can't refute him, she can only lower her head like Bones.
"We still need to hunt, from all the low tier mystique creature we encountered, which ones are you familiar with?" He asks Emirose.
"The Ironback Boar, Dire Wolves and Three-eyed Deer."
"Good, we can't hunt Dire Wolves because of their number, the Three-eyed Deer is too fast, that leaves us with the Ironback Boar, do you know a easier method to hunt them?" He asks.
"According to the books I read back at school, they're vulnerable in their stomach. Also their nose are quite sensitive and can smell any prey, predator or plants for miles."
"That means that ambushing them wouldn't be easy, we can only tackle them head-on! Me and Golden will serve as vanguard, Bones, you and your pet beast will be responsible for attacking the target from the side and Emirose, you and your pet beast will serve as support, is that understood?"
"Yes!" The two doesn't want to continue dragging Jericho behind and are now fully intent on working together.
The three of them then travels at the location where they encountered the family of Ironback Boar, with Golden's nose, they easily track their target.
"It seems that we need to change our plans." Jericho curses inwardly.
In front of them were five Ironback Boar, one adult male that's high tier and a female that's also a high tier.
Attacking would be suicide but their younglings are different.
Even though they are as big as average dogs, the low tier boars are considered as piglets.
"I'll be the distraction, Emirose, use your Purple Mind Scattering Moth to confuse the targets, Bones, you and your Earth Lizard capture one of the piglets and leave!"
Purple Mind Scattering Moth, an excellent grade mystique creature capable of releasing dust particles that affects one's mind.
Earth Lizard, contrary to their name, they don't have earth element, only the ability to burrow quickly, they secrete paralyzing saliva.
"What!? That's suicide!" Bones scream, alerting the boars.
"Go!" Jericho roars before charging towards the boars, the two can only follow after him.
The moth flutters it's wings, arriving just above the boars, it releases dust particles into the family.
Jericho knows that he'll be affected too if he inhales the dusts so he covers his face and attacks the boars.
SKREE! The adult male boar let out a loud squeal and charges towards him.
Using the trees as stepping tools, he dodges the attack with such insane movement.
This is the first time the two witnessed how Jericho fights in wild.
Sean gave him this type of fighting style, using his wildness and integrating Golden in the mix.
When the male boar crashes on a tree, Golden arrives and slashes at its eyes and escapes.
The female boar was furious and it let out a squeal too but doesn't leave it's children.
Jericho charges towards it, it raises its tusk to intercept but he dodges it and uses its trotter as a footstool and slashing at its eyes.
Just like the male boar, it's now left with only one eye, angered by him, it chases after him.
Emirose's pet beast increases the dust particles that it releases, slowly confusing their minds.
BANG! One of the piglets falls into a hole, the Earth Lizard appears and bites one of its legs.
It then pulls it to the ground but it's cry alarms it's parents and the two returns with boundless fury.
Seeing this, Golden flashes with sharp metallic light and tackles the male boar.
Jericho also intercepts the female boar, unfortunately, he wasn't strong enough to stop it and can only try to delay it.
The two students watches with anxiety, when the piglet was finally pulled to the ground fully, they release a sigh of relief.
"Escape!" Jericho shouts before climbing one of tree and leaping from one branch to another.
They can't defeat the two but they can capture their children.
Their performance earned them applause and admiration from their fans and some of the audience.
"Let's eat!" After the successful capture, the three were happy and they immediately prepare to cook the piglet.
Meanwhile, the situation between the other group is vastly different, they had hunted their first mid tier mystique creature.
Dorothy stumbles from the start but since she works at a pet shop, she managed to quickly adapt and was proven as a useful teammate to the two.
Seeing such a large deer hunted by them, Dorothy was in a daze.
"I still can't believe we managed to take a Metal Horned Deer." She sighs, thinking that she just recently became a martial artist and had now accomplished a successful hunt.
"Well, all that training wasn't for nothing, you know, our bond with our pets had increased and our own strength too had improved." Missel stated with a proud expression.
All of this is because of Sean and his god-like Heal, no matter how much pain they feel from their muscles cramping and aching due to training, he easily heals them without getting tired.
