"They probably had given up the quest, not that stupid I guess." said the muscular man.

However, the moment Sky and Chris reached the reception counter, they took out the statue from a bag. This put the crowd in a totally astonished state, and the most astonishing thing is yet to be seen.

"Here"s the statue as requested, you can check if it"s real or not." said Sky.

Then the receptionist called an old man from the backroom. The old man examined the statue for a few minutes and confirmed it"s the statue stated by the quest.

"Now I shall transfer you the reward for this quest, which is a million unit of money." said the receptionist who tried hard to stay calm.

"No, it"s okay, you can keep the money, I have found a better reward for ourselves." said so, Chris pulled out a one meter long glowing item that wrapped neatly in a leather cloth, he opens the wrap and shows a pair of blue shiny antlers.

At this moment, the whole quest center is totally heated up, it"s the antlers from the deadly beast that guarded the statue. The muscular man run towards Chris, looking at the antlers, rather shocked, he refused to believe what he saw with his own eyes.

"You guys cut these off from that monster?" the muscular man asked.

"Mhmm."

"But how do you even survive after did that to that deadly creature?" he asked again.

"Uh... We killed it before cutting the antlers off." said Chris, a bit "confused" at the man"s att.i.tude.

"What?! Say that again?!" said the muscular man even more agitated than before.

"Uhm... I mean, the dead body is out there, if you are interested, we can sell half of it to you at a lower price." said Chris.

As soon as Chris finished his words, everyone in the quest center rushed out through the main door, the first thing that caught their eyes is the dead body of the four meters long lizard. There"s no obvious wound on its body except for a clean slit on its neck.

"Well, since I think its skin can be a good material for some armor or other things, so I tried to keep its condition as perfect as I could." said Chris in a casual tone.

"I guess we should probably give up our plan on that battle arena." The lady whispered to the muscular man.

"Mmm..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Night time, secret base. "We are back!" said Sky, while walking in through the main door, dragging a four-meter long lizard with Chris.

"I definitely not interested to know what you two did in the day." said Ben, rather sarcastic.

"Well... Hehe." Then Sky explained everything to them while Chris showed off that pair of antlers to Maria and Seito.

Later, Chris"s room.

"It seems like you are having lots of fun today." said Ben while tidying up Chris"s bed and his.

"Mhmm... It"s nice to see how all those people react when they saw the dead body of that lizard." said Chris, still playing with the antlers.

"Ha... Lizard huh?" said Ben rather sarcastic.

"Well, aren"t you almost the same? It"s really rare that you are actually interested to "play" with Kenji a bit today." said Chris.

"Just a short trial, not worth mentioning." said Ben.

"Heh? Is that so?"

"Yes." said Ben, and he had done with the bed.

"Okay... Good night then." said so, Chris gets on his bed and cover himself in the blanket while hugging a cat plushie.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What? Three months? Then why are we coming here so early?" said Seito after knowing the tournament is going starts three months later.

"Well, don"t you think these three months is a good chance for you people to improve." said Sky.

"True though... Hey, talk about training. Is it true that Dr. Ben"s magic is just some tele-based magic?" Seito asked.

"Uhm... Yes, but... You shouldn"t take his words seriously." said Sky.

"Although I don"t quite understand, but, I see. By the way, where is Chris?" said Seito.

"He is probably playing with his new toys right now in the underground forging room right now, his special interest... UNO by the way." said Sky. Yes, they are playing UNO again.

Suddenly, a man walks in from the main door which leads him directly to the lounge without any sign, and kneeled in front of them. His body is covered with bruises and blood.

"Uhm... What is happening? I thought this place was supposed to be a secret base." said Seito.

"Good question, but that"s not our concern right now, let"s get Chris and Ben." said Sky.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, Ben had treated the injuries of that man, then they started their "interrogation".

"Answer me two questions. First of all, how do you find this place? Second, what do you need from us?" Sky asks.

"I was chased by a monster from my village and I hide near the Knight building (quest center), then I saw you guys walk into that building with a dead body of a giant lizard, I thought you guys might be able to help me, so I followed you guys." said the man.

"So, your injuries were caused by the monster?" Chris ask.

"No, I fell off a small hill when I was trying to catch up with you guys." said the man.

"Uh... I should not even ask that." said Chris.
