The sound of someone running fast can be heard in the jungle. This someone is none other than Alejandro, who is running as fast as he could to catch up with the pack of Sepcinas. It took him less than a minute to catch up with them as they were already weakened by Grimclaw. This means that these creatures are free meats that Alejandro can take without a sweat. He did not hesitate to grab Khalib and rushed immediately to one of the Sepcinas. Alejandro managed to stab one of them and killed it, however he did not waste any second to catch up with the others.

  One down, three more to go. I’ll finish this quickly and find some ingredients to make a potion.

  Alejandro was fast, even faster than the last time he fought the retired hunter, Dehter Goremann. In just a matter of seconds, he killed four of the Sepcinas. His experience also helped him since he already knew the weak spot of these creatures. After killing all of the Sepcinas, he grabbed two of the dead Sepcinas back to where Grimclaw was hidden. It was going smooth for Alejandro, he has creatures that are ready to be cook anytime, however as he was about to go back and retrieve the other two dead bodies of the Sepcinas, he was confused as to where the corpses went.

  Where in the world are the rest of the Sepcinas that I hunted? Is it possible that one of the larger monsters took the bodies? Wait, it isn’t possible as the journal stated that there are no recorded monsters that hunts on Sepcinas since they do not like the taste of their meat. Only humans can acknowledge the taste of a Sepcinas. This doesn’t make any sense! Does that mean... there are other humans that are currently in this jungle?!

  Alejandro suddenly caught a glimpse of a footstep that belongs to a human sized foot. Luckily for him, the ground in this part of jungle are always wet since it rains here almost every day. He did not waste any second to follow these footsteps. While following the trail of these footsteps, he was also cautious in his surroundings, in case of a possibility that it may be an ambush or a monster will suddenly jump onto him. He doesn’t know but with the help of just three days living in this jungle, he had acquired the cautiousness level of a high rank hunter. This skill is very hard to learn since there are only about fifteen percent in the whole world that are high rank hunters.

  The high level of cautiousness is hard to learn by average hunters since most of them are always being interrupted by their magic storage. This means that they find it hard to concentrate when their magic storage will interrupt them time to time. However, Alejandro easily acquired the high level of cautiousness since he doesn’t have any magic storage to begin with. His head is completely in a blank space, nothing to interrupt him, allowing him to always focus on his surroundings. One could say that it is one of the perks of having no magic storage.

  After a long time of following the trail of footsteps, he finally found a tent made out of pure leaves. Next to the tent is someone cooking a huge meat on a grill. However, the person cannot be seen clearly since they wear a mantle. This person also has the dead bodies of the two Sepcinas besides them, this confirms that they are the one that stole Alejandro’s hunt.

  The question is what do I do next? I already confirmed that this person is the one who stole my kills. Should I just let this go or should I confront that person? Wait, this may be one of the challenges that Dehter old man left for my training! If that is the case, I shall accept it. “Come forth, Bavael.” Alejandro silently called out Bavael.

  “What is the situation, master?” Bavael whispered as he immediately understood that his master is being quiet as possible. “Here is what we are going to do, Bavael. I’ll throw you towards the dead body of a Sepcinas, this will alert the person and look at you and immediately follow up looking at this direction where we are hiding at. However, in that brief moment of the person being distracted, I will already be standing in front of him or her.” Alejandro quietly discussed the plan with Bavael and he immediately understood the plan since he suddenly bright red.

  The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

  In the exact moment the mysterious person started to eat the hot meat, Alejandro strengthened his right arm to the point his bicep grew bigger. He then aimed at the dead Sepcinas next to the person and toss Bavael as hard as he can. In just a second, Bavael hit directly at the dead Sepcinas, the throw was faster than an average travel speed of a fast traveling arrow. With this kind of speed Bavael was being toss at, the impact made a huge explosion and blew the entire dead body of the Sepcinas. Different parts of the dead body flew around the area, even hitting the mysterious person’s face. This made the person shocked and immediately looked in the direction of where the dagger was thrown at.

  As the person looked in the direction of where Alejandro hid in just a few seconds ago, Alejandro already disappeared. The mysterious person was even more confused and curious. As the person started to draw their weapon, a sharp sword was already on the person’s neck. There is someone behind their back holding a sword and is ready to cut their neck.

  “State your name or your life ends here.” Alejandro whispered with a menacing cold voice.

  The mysterious person was shaking and they have no other choice but to cooperate to the man holding the sword at their neck. “My name… is… Jeanny Snowcrest. Please spare me…” the mysterious person was having a hard time to speak since the blade was very close to her neck. “Throw your weapon as far as you can.” Alejandro ordered her. She immediately threw her weapon without a second thought. Alejandro then lowered Khalib and asked her to turn around and face him so that they may have a civil conversation.

  She then turned around and faced Alejandro while she was raising her hands. It is clear that she does not want to die as her reaction is genuine since she is shaking and sweating profusely. “Please spare me, mister! I don’t want to die yet!” the woman shouted with all her might hoping Alejandro will spare her.

  “Fear not. I will spare you, you may lower your hands and sit down with me while we have our conversation. I have questions that I would like to ask and I expect you will fully cooperate.” Alejandro replied. The woman then sits on the ground facing Alejandro, still sweating profusely. “First, why are you here? Do you live here or are you simply just lost?” Alejandro asked Jeanny. As Jeanny was about to answer, Alejandro grabbed a piece of cooked meat and started eating. “I have been surviving in this hell for a week now. I do not live here and I do not wish to live here forever. I do not recall of how I got here, the last thing I remember before waking up in this jungle was having a celebration with my fellow knights.” Jeanny Snowcrest replied to Alejandro’s first question.

  This means that she is a knight. Well she does wear a silver chest plate. However, that’s all there is to it, her other armor seems to be missing. I also saw her longsword was already damaged, it would take great effort to kill a monster with a damaged weapon. Alright next question.

  “What are your magic powers?” Alejandro asked while calmly eating the meat. “I belong to a family bloodline that uses ice magic however I am still new to it and I only know the basic spells.” Jeanny replied to Alejandro’s second question. Alejandro then stopped eating and stared at Jeanny’s eyes and asked her “If you attack me right now with your powers, do you think you would stand a chance?”

  Jeanny Snowcrest was silent as she saw Alejandro’s dark eyes. “Of course not, mister. I… do not think I have a chance fighting against you. I assume your magic powers are superior to mine.” She replied while shaking and avoiding Alejandro’s eyes.

  “You are right. I am glad you are smart. My power is far more superior to yours. See, my strength is my only power so that means I can easily defeat your ice magic powers.” Alejandro grinned and continued to eat the cooked meat.

  “Wait… did I hear you right? Your strength is your only power?! That means you don’t have any magic powers? You’re joking right?” Jeanny Snowcrest asked Alejandro as she was confused since this is the first time she met a person with no magic powers. “I am not kidding, I really don’t have any magic powers and I’m glad I don’t have any.” Alejandro calmly replied after he finished eating the whole meat.

  After hearing the impossible coming from Alejandro’s mouth, Jeanny Snowcrest suddenly fell unconscious. “Great. Now I have another one to babysit. This truly is the hardest training I had in my entire life.”
