News of aferian Ruin is finally out and it had instantly shadowed all the topics on the web, it seemed to be making bigger blast than I expected as nearly all the people in outpost talking about it on the web but also on the streets.

When we entered the outposts, all we could hear about the Aferian Ruin and nothing else.

"It was a good thing we had brought the information it yesterday or we would have had to pay h.e.l.l lot more," said Sophia as she looked the renewed price of Information about the Aferian Ruin.

I also nodded, every organization, store, guild, etc had information about the Aferian Ruin increased their price near tenfold.

After submitting all the things I got from the Grimm race monster in the Guild, I return back to my apartment.

Today was really fruitful, not only I have killed the several elite Colonel stage Grimm race but also harvested a lot of Mana crystal from them and this just the starting.

The next three days went by as I had imagined, we hunted so crazily that each day was dangerous than I before and every day I had received serious injuries but that didnt stop me for training more intensely.

Each day, I had harvested more than 1000 mana crystal, I had expected that I would able to harvest 1000 mana crystal a day but did not expect that day would come this soon.

Today had given us off by the Team Leader to take a good rest as if today we are going take guild"s challenge and if we are successful then Team Leader going to take us for the "treasure hunt", that is what we calling it now.

The team leader did not say much except for that the destination of the map in the Mid Level Hunting Ground. We were not that surprised knowing it is Mid-level hunting ground but our hearts still started to beat faster.

The Mid Level hunting grounds are completely different from the Low-level hunting ground, the low-level hunting ground is for the rookies who had just entered the Grimm battlefield and there is not much danger there but Mid-level hunting ground are completely different.

The Elite Colonel stage we have been fighting against is the weakest Grimm race monsters in the Mid Level hunting ground.

The Elites of Grimm race we have fought are just starting point of the Elite, In the real sense, they are not considered much in front of the Star elites found in the Mid Level hunting ground.

There is another reason why the Team Leader had asked us to clear the Guild challenge before he could take for the treasure hunt and that is because of Guild Rules.

For us to hunt in the Medium level hunting ground, we at least have to clear the Level 2 Guild Challenge before we have permission to hunt in the Mid Level hunting ground.

I would not have the guts to hunt in Mid Level hunting ground this early if not for instructor coming with us, he is someone who had clear all the 9 challenges in the guild challenge.

Even in the S cla.s.s guild, very few people have the power to clear all the challenges especially as young as our team leader who about the same age as Emma.

I just hope that I will able to clear the 2nd guild challenge today and I think I have quite a good chance to clear the 2nd challenge, about 80%.

Not only I had have trained very hard for the past four days, I even able to create the 27th seal of the Supreme Combat Exercise in the morning and reached 32nd pose of Body Cleansing Technique which I had performed in front of Sophia and Reina.

In just four days, both of the sisters had reached the 1st cleansing and the result could clearly be seen on them, not only their movements became more flexible their skin also brighten a little making them even more beautiful.

It is already evening and I will leave for the Guild in a few moments as four of us going to attempt to clear the Guild Challenge and as for the other two Emma and Ritchie, they have had already cleared the 2nd challenge two days ago.

"Let"s go, Ashlyn!" I said to Ashlyn who is sitting in the balcony, after hearing my voice, she flew to my shoulder and we exited my apartment.

"Micheal!" I heard my name just as I got out the Hovercar and it was off Sophia who was seen to be talking with our team members.

"We have been waiting for you for the past ten minuits, let"s go!" said Sophia and she literally held my hand started pulling me toward the Guild.

Soon we all reached the chamber where the guild challenge is done and saw that there are already three people were waiting there.

"If you had come early, we would not have to wait for our turn?" said the Sophia as we sat, "Relax, its just half-hour waiting," said Emma.

Ritchie and Emma had specially come today for cheer four of us as going to treasure hunt and it would depend on all of us clearing 2nd guild challenge if one of us failed then all hopes of going for treasure hunt will be doused in the water.

"If four of you are able to clear the 2nd challenge then we will treat in the expensive restaurant," said Emma.

She is not only dwindling carrot in front of us but also indirectly pressuring us to do better and clear the challenge.

Well, You don"t have to worry about me, I am quite confident that I will be able to clear the Challenge and if everyone also cleared which I expected them to then we will enjoy the expensive meal an hour later.

Time pa.s.sed one by one all three people took their turn and within half an hour all three of them finished their turn and now its own turn to go.

"I"ll go first," Ben said just as the last person comes out of the door, I can tell that Sophia wanted to go first but seeing Ben, called out first she did not say anything.

Seeing one objected Ben went inside the door and we all waited for him with the bated breath each and every one of us has to clear the challenge.

Time pa.s.sed by and we silently waited, no one is mood to make talk like everyone"s gaze is focused on the door.

Click!

Seven minuits later the door opened again and Ben came out and one could see an extra bright smile on his face.

"Did you clear it?" asked Emma, " Yes, I did," said Ben.

"How was it?" asked Sophia, we already have an idea about 2nd challenge strength from Emma and Ritchie but it would be nice to hear from Ben who is at our level.

"Just like Emma and Richie said, I was skipped by the 1st challenge and directly appeared in front of the 2nd challenge."

"My opponent was Monster and it was very challenging but I was able to defeat it," he said with apparent happiness.

"As long as you guys give your all, conquering the 2nd-second challenge won"t be difficult," Ben said in encouragement.
