Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 119 Getting Cores

Three days passed by since Elena told students about the exam.

In an ordinary-looking cafe, an ordinary handsome-looking young man was drinking an ordinary-looking green drink.

The name of this ordinary cafe was well... Ordinary cafe and the name of the drink was... Ordinary green drink.

The name of the ordinary handsome young man was... Evan.

"This ordinary green drink is really good" Evan praised after taking a sip of the drink.

Yup! The people with bright minds guessed it right. This ordinary-looking green drink is not green tea.

It is a drink called water with green food color mixed in it.

Along with the green food color, there are some F rank herbs mixed in the water that gives a refreshing feeling after drinking it.

The cost of this drink is 500 credits for 100 ml.

Although it is a little expensive Evan decided to try it since he read online this drink is quite good.

Some people might be wondering if this drink is good and can refresh the body then why its name is ordinary green drink?

Evan was also confused about why this drink is called ordinary green drink even though it was quite good. He asked the waiter of the cafe about it, and the response of the water left him speechless.

"Why does a hot dog is called a hot dog?" instead of answering the waiter asked Evan this question.

When the waiter asked this question Evan just looked away from the waiter, his curiosity about the name completely died down.

While Evan was drinking the ordinary green drink, a lady who was not so ordinary looking appeared outside the cafe.

The reason she wasn't ordinary looking was because two people in the black suit were following her like bodyguards.

"Wait, here I will be done soon," the lady said in a flat voice and entered the cafe.

Evan looked at the lady who just entered and waved at her.

Seeing Evan, Valery walked towards him.

Two hours ago when Evan was watching a movie on his phone, he received a message from her telling him that she gathered eight C rank cores, and is ready to exchange them with his ice heart flower.

Evan was more than happy to get cores at any time, so he agreed to exchange them any time she wanted.

Valery asked him to meet her in the ordinary cafe after three hours, so when the movie Evan was watching ended he came here a little early to try their ordinary green drink that he heard about before.

When Valery sat down a waiter come to take her order and she also ordered an ordinary green drink.

"Because of the dark guild?" Evan asked when he saw two bodyguards. Evan can feel that both of them were actually B rank hunters.

Valery nodded her head with a helpless expression on her face. It was clear she wasn't too happy about two people following her everywhere.

Evan didn't ask anything after she nodded his head.

"Here are your eight cores" Valery took out a small box from her storage ring.

She opened it and there were eight C rank cores in it.

Evan looked at the cores and took out the black box in which the ice heart flower was placed. He gave the ice heart flower to her and put away the box of the cores.

"Your teammate is Mike in the practical exam," Valery asked after confirming the flower was inside the box.

"Yes," Evan said causally since most of the students already know about this.

Seeing Evan saying it causally Valery was surprised and asked, "you don't look worried?"

"Nothing will change even if I curse him all day long," Evan said while shrugging his shoulders.

"There is actually a reason why the practical exam this time is being held using VR" suddenly Valery said while taking a sip from her drink that the waiter just brought.

"Oh! What is the reason?" Evan asked since he found it strange exams were being held using VRs.

"Because of the dungeon outbreaks that are going on, many guilds of the Astrate city need more hunters"

"The academy is using this chance to show the talent of the students. Since guilds want to hire more hunters, they are using VR for the exam where the representatives of the guilds will be able to see their talent"

"There will be three gold, five silver, and ten bronze rank guilds that will be present there. Even silver star guild will be there"

"It will be a very good opportunity for the students to join guilds through this exam"

Evan was surprised when he heard Valery.

But he actually didn't care about the fact that guilds want to recruit more hunters. He doesn't want to join any guild currently.

He knew if he join a guild there will be many things he will have to do, and he will not have free time to gather enough cores for himself.

He doesn't think other guilds will be able to provide him with enough cores that he needs to improve the level of his monarch, and mutated prime core.

He was surprised because of the fact that the dungeon outbreaks are going out of control and even high-ranking guilds need more hunters.

'Didn't she tell me a few days ago that the dark guild might be related to dungeon outbreaks' Evan thought but he did not ask anything else.

"If you want I can recommend you to silver star guild, I think it will be very easy for you to join it with my help," Valery said to Evan after telling him about the reason for the VR exam.

Evan smiled hearing her and shook his head, "thanks for your offer, but I don't plan to join any guild currently. I have my own plans"

Evan declined her offer and stood up.

"Well, thanks for the information about the exam, I will take my leave now" Evan bid farewell to Valery and left the cafe.

Now that he got the eight cores from Valery there was something that he wanted to do now.
