Upon feeling the Corrosive Giant's mental link break, the boy at the head instantly shouted out.

　　Under his reminder, two long arrows flew out with a snort one after the other, shooting towards the still tearing Corrosive Beast.

　　And at the same time, Freya, who had been in a state of readiness, also lunged at it from the tree at a bizarre speed.

　　''Buzz...''

　　The tiny buzzing sound slowly dissipated from where Freya had just stood, and Folanthe, who was relatively close to her, even saw Freya's residual shadow in the curtain of rain.

　　''Perch!'' ''Puh!''

　　A long arrow directly hit the carrion-eater's right eye, but it didn't pierce through due to its strong physique, while the other crossbow arrow regrettably missed the carrion-eater's side.

　　The scavenging beast that had suffered a heavy blow to its eye let out a miserable howl, and actually didn't have the consciousness to fight back at all and directly wanted to run away.

　　However, having lost its right eye, it had already lost its vigilance for a long time, and was so intent on escaping that it didn't even notice the huge danger above its head.

　　Frya who descended from the sky was like a grey falcon, the cross sword in her hand vibrated rapidly at an extremely fast frequency, a faint conical airflow forming at the tip of the sword.

　　The low falling rainwater couldn't even match her in this instant, and the speedy scavengers that had already exerted their full power were simply too late for any evasive reactions.

　　''Bang!!!''

　　Out of nowhere, a loud noise came from under the tree as if something had exploded, followed by the turbulence caused by the storm behind them.

　　The three people standing on the treetops looked at the scene below with strange gazes, then glanced at each other speechlessly, although the four people had all crossed paths before, and had heard that Freya herself had introduced herself as being good at surprise attacks, they really didn't expect her to make such a big noise.

　　"...This is already beyond the strength of a second-class apprentice, right?" The boy in the lead unconsciously muttered.

　　The turbulence caused by the storm basically dissipated without much time under the rain, and the remaining three all quietly descended from the tree.

　　The complete body of the Scavenger lay on the ground, with only the position of its head turned into a large circular hole. Surrounding the hole was a reddish-white liquid that slowly flowed down the rainwater into the land.

　　Freya stood next to the corpse was calmly taking out a white cloth from her grey robe to gently wipe away the marks on the crossed swords.

　　Although the three people's faces were a bit abnormal, none of them said anything.

　　The boy in the lead. Walked over to the scavenger and drew a dagger from his waist to cut off all four claws then got up and smiled.

　　"Alright, now that we all have the proof of the quest, it just so happens that this corpse makes up for my bottle of corrosive potion, everyone...no comments."

　　Although he was speaking towards the trio, his eyes kept watching Freya's expression.

　　"Of course it's fine." Freya, who was being watched, spoke first "If it wasn't for Senior Rand attracting with the Corrosive Giant. We wouldn't have been able to get it so easily."

　　The Corruption Eater itself didn't have a very high utilisation value. If it was sold, it would only be a third of the price of a magic stone, and Rand wanted to estimate that it was used to refine something. So she wouldn't count something in this place.

　　The remaining two saw that Freya had already stated her position, and they all nodded their heads in agreement.

　　Seeing that all agreed, Rand smiled and handed the claw to the three.

　　When passing by Freya, Rand purposely paused and actually secretly put a magic stone into her hand along with the claw.

　　"In the future, if you do hunting missions, remember to contact often." Rand's voice suddenly appeared in Freya's ears, but his mouth stayed closed the whole time.

　　Seeing this. Freya also understood that this was Rand using an unknown secret voice transmission method and didn't want the other two to know.

　　Understanding Rand's psychology, Freya also smiled and nodded gently, and took the magic stone back into her grey robe along with her claws.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

　　"Well, the mission is over, I have already used my summoning ring to notify my friend to come over to carry the corpse, if you guys are fine. You can go back with me." Rand invited.

　　"It just so happens that I'm also fine. Just go back with Senior Rand." The other girl immediately replied when she heard Rand's words, clearly meaning to befriend.

　　"I'll forget about it. I still have a mission that I haven't completed." Folante also saw the girl's intention and said knowingly.

　　"Freya, what about you? Want to come back together, those friends of mine you might be interested in befriending?" Not caring about the two men's chitchat, Rand turned to Freya and asked in a gentle manner.

　　"No, I'll finish this quest just in time to purchase a spell model I've had my eye on, next time." Freya smiled.

　　"Oh, that's a shame." Rand said with some regret.

　　"I'll be off then." Freya nodded to him and put the cross sword back on her waist and turned directly in the direction of the academy.

　　After Freya left, Folanthe also took the opportunity to leave in the opposite direction.

　　Rand quietly gazed at the direction Freya left and gently stroked his chin.

　　"Senior Rand, could it be that you have your eyes on...senior sister Freya?" The girl standing next to Rand looked at his appearance, and although she was ashamed of Freya's strength, the young girl's heart still spoke out the question in her heart.

　　"Look on?" Hearing the girl's words Rand looked back in surprise, then laughed and then teased "How can it be, to say look on, is also first look on you, Lena schoolgirl."

　　"Huh? Senior...you're not joking?" The girl named Lena covered her mouth in some disbelief.

　　"Of course I'm joking."

　　Freyja, who was unaware of the two's conversation, buried her head and hurried in the direction of the academy.

　　The black leather boots were uncomfortable on the wet and hideous ground, and she tightened the hood on her head so that the rain would try not to get accustomed into it from running.

　　'Together with the reward this time, it's just enough to be able to afford a course in the basics of the Enchantment Department, only the remaining magic stones won't be able to purchase another spell model, after all, it's still not as good as those apprentices who have their families supplying them behind the scenes.' Freya sighed slightly.

　　The Elgrim Wizard Academy itself was not a mere academy, but rather it seemed to be a huge organisation of wizards formed by a joint alliance of several wizard families.

　　While absorbing qualified sorcerer apprentices, it would also issue some quests to them in between.

　　It is said that after becoming an official sorcerer, there is still a chance to choose to enter a certain sorcerer family and become a member of them to serve them.

　　The Rand from before was one of the potential apprentices of these wizard families.

　　Freya had also encountered similar solicitations of a covert nature several times, and although she also had the intention to go, for the second thing that she herself and Hegel had promised, if she joined a wizard family there would be all sorts of restrictions on her movements, which she did not want.

　　However, she had always been envious of the various benefits of joining a wizard family.

　　"Ugh... it's better to do quests honestly to save magic stones." Freya shook her head helplessly.

　　Suddenly, the summoning ring on her index finger steeply heated up, causing her, who was rushing along, to stop.

　　"Employment message?" Looking at the flashing red light spot on the ring, Freya raised an eyebrow.

　　Previously, under Caddy's suggestion, when she accepted the hunting mission, she also reported her information into the mission's file in passing for the mentors to hire her.

　　It was only because she belonged to the Positive Energy Department's apprenticeship and was only second class that she had never heard anything about it, so much so that she had almost forgotten about it.

　　She didn't expect that after so many days, a formal sorcerer would actually pick her.

　　"I don't know the nature of the employment, if the pay is cheap, just reject it." Looking at the flickering summoning ring, Freya decided in her mind.
