"Enter Liondra if you perform well during the Military Games? Of course, that will be possible…"

Bella felt that this was only logical because most powerful Organizations and Guilds were located in Liondra.

Liondra was mankind's strongest shelter owing to the resourceful dungeons one could find within the shelter and its surroundings.

Protecting Liondra against powerful monsters was important, so most Originals with exceptional talent and achievements would be brought there to be nurtured.

Nial smiled after hearing Bella's comment. He felt much better knowing that he had found a pretty easy way to enter Liondra.

The only thing he needed to do was to perform exceptionally well when the Military Games were held, and join some Organization or Guild.

'We have to work like there is no tomorrow for the next three months, I guess?'

When Nial made up his mind he averted his attention to the question of how to reach the highest combat prowess in the shortest amount of time.

"Alright…how about we visit Miranda first?"

Nial turned serious as he thought of a goal in his mind. The sudden change of his attitude from smiling brightly to being overly serious confused Mathias and Bella a little bit but that was not something Nial noticed.

'I will meet them again…soon!!'

His friends looked at him, trying to figure out what he wanted to do, just for Nial to say,

"Miranda should have most of the information about the Military Games, and the detailed information about what we're going to do for the next three months. Furthermore, she is our Master, or so one could say at least. Let's take advantage of that!"

"Ahhh, I knew that I was forgetting something important. Mathias suddenly exclaimed before his cheeks turned red. He usually didn't speak aloud, so his astonishment could be easily perceived.

However, even Bella was a little bit baffled because she had forgotten about Miranda as well.

"Ah…yeah, there was something like that."

Nial felt like saying something as well but he kept quiet. Someone had to act as if he hadn't forgotten about their master.

Thus, they made their way toward the Old Medic's abode, before entering the shop without knocking on the door.

Nial could sense Miranda's fluctuations from several hundred meters away and he knew that she had perceived them already as well.

That was why it was no wonder when they noticed her piercing gaze the moment they entered the abode.

"I thought you guys forgot about me!! Were the ancient ruins so fruitful and enjoyable that you forgot the poor old me??"

The old Medic, Miranda, didn't really sound angered. She merely teased them and did nothing else but smile faintly.

"Well…let's just say that it was so exciting inside the ancient ruins that we forgot about everything else…"

The ancient ruins had truly been exciting, even more so because the things they had procured within were simply too shocking, exciting, and great, to put it simply.

"So you got lots of stuff, I see," Miranda merely nodded her head, feeling proud that her students had gotten their hands on many treasures.

However, their perception of 'treasures' might be different because she was at a much higher rank than her disciples.

That was why she felt like taking a look at their stuff.

"How about you tell me what exactly you found and I take a look at the stuff? Maybe I know more about the value of certain items than you guys."

Miranda expected them to readily hand over their treasures, but Mathias knitted his brows, while Bella instinctively covered her spatial ring with her hand.

This reaction was truly unexpected, which was why Miranda rolled her eyes.

'Do they not trust me at all? I don't need your stuff!!'

Miranda didn't know that Nial and his friends would have been able to procure a lot, even if it was much more than what everyone else plundered from the ancient ruin's dungeon.

​ She had already read a few reports about the high lethality all the traps within the ancient ruin's dungeon had and how long it took to deactivate them.

But she had no clue that Nial and his team had plundered an entire destroyed tower and several floors of the ancient ruin's palace!

That was why Mathias and Bella were so vigilant and did not trust Miranda…their stuff was simply too valuable.

"Show her the Natural Planetary Mana awakening thesis. I will explain everything."

Nial sounded calm as he took out a few runic armaments, a batch of books, portions of the Puppet-type runic armament, and so on.

Meanwhile, the cape he was wearing fluttered excitedly within the room despite no strong wind currents.

Seeing the books that landed on the ground, Miranda couldn't help but be a little bit intrigued. She picked them up, and looked at their titles one after another before glancing at Nial and his team once again.

"A technique that accelerates the mana absorption speed by more than four times as long as enough Origin crystals are used as a medium…A martial art technique that focuses on the symbiosis between the Elemental affinities…A Basic Guide for runic armaments….A production manual that holds more than 30 Tierless runic armament blueprints… What the hell?!"

Miranda looked at the three young Originals, who were not really impressed by the books in front of Miranda.

Their apparent disinterest was more than enough reason for her to avert her attention to the runic armaments Nial had taken out from his spatial ring.

While she researched the runic armaments in detail, Nial told her what all things they had done inside the ancient ruin's dungeon.

"I knew that you guys have already accumulated around 100,000 military merit points each, and didn't expect you to have so much more…but why do I feel that this is not everything?"

Miranda had to keep her excitement low. She was extremely interested in runic armaments, which was why she felt like reading the Guide for runic armaments and the production manual right at this instant.

However the several runic armaments Nial had taken out from his spatial ring were equally interesting…and also something Bella and Mathias didn't give much attention to.

"Here is the Thesis about the Natural Planetary Mana awakening and a few other papers which we found inside the ancient ruin's palace."

Bella suddenly said while handing Miranda some papers without answering her question.

There was no need to brag about how rich they were right now. Their wealth was more than enough to start training seriously and at a rapid pace at that.

The Ciran taria technique that focuses on the acceleration of the mana absorption required lots of Origin crystals, which meant that one had to spend time and lots of money in conquering dungeons.

And the latter was what the three youths planned on doing!

"Oh my gaahhdd…Where the hell did you guys find this even? If that's true, mankind might be in more trouble than expected…what bullshit…"

Miranda read the thesis Bella had handed over in no time. She looked at the three youths once again before sighing deeply.

"Are you three sure that you didn't loot the palace's treasury yet?..."

The three young Originals smiled oddly at that before both Mathias and Bella glanced at Nial.

"Well, we merely looted eight floors starting from the highest floor."

Miranda had been too busy inspecting their treasures. That was why she missed out on noticing when he said how they had entered the ancient ruin's palace at first.

"Ah, if it's only 8 floors…wait?! Eight WHOLE floors?!" Miranda exclaimed, feeling as if her worldview was crumbling down.

She clearly knew the dangers of ancient ruins, even more so the ancient ruins that harbored new secrets for mankind to encounter.

An ancient ruin's dungeon where one could find thousands of runic armaments was certainly new, and the reports she had read spoke volumes about the dangers within it.

Miranda took quite a while to come back to her senses. She kept reading intently through all the papers she had received without asking another question.

But that was not because she was not curious but rather that she wanted to protect herself from feeling as if she was dirt-poor.

If anyone were to hear Miranda's reasoning, they would probably collapse on the ground, simply because Miranda was already said to be one of the richest people of mankind.

Of course, this didn't include all the companies, merchants, and so on, simply because Miranda's wealth stemmed from her work in concocting potions, studying, and fighting which was an exceptional feat.

She had never focused on accumulating a huge amount of wealth or investing it further such as by creating a merchant firm.

After some time passed, Miranda returned everything she had been reading, except the thesis about the Natural Planetary Mana awakening.

"I don't think there should be a problem with this but can I show this to the military?"

The thesis didn't belong to her. Even if something extremely important was written within those pages, she chose not to act as if she was their master, and to take whatever she needed if necessary.

What Miranda didn't know was that she didn't dare to act as their master simply because she didn't think that she was worth it.

Rather than her teaching them, Miranda believed that as long as she was allowed to read the books they collected, their teaching would be mutually beneficial for both sides.

It was a weird thought because none of the young Originals had reached the 10th Origin rank, and neither had they managed to create a single Advanced Origin ring.

Yet, Miranda felt that it was wrong to underestimate them.

Seeing that Nial nodded his head, which was followed by the other two agreeing as well, Miranda smiled faintly before she left the house.

Miranda had already rushed outside the house, only to hear Mathias' voice from further away.

"Her expression was quite funny. I wonder how her expression would have changed if you would have revealed everything else you've collected. You showed her only two books about runic armaments, the most basic ones at that."

Mathias had been amused while saying this, not knowing that Miranda could still hear them.

"Well, it would be even worse if she were to know that we already split up the runic armaments among us! And it's not like only Nial stored the manuals inside his spatial ring. We have a nice lot for ourselves as well!" Bella said calmly just for Mathias to nod his head.

"True that!"

Miranda heard everything, and her mouth twitched the longer she heard them talk as she was still in the young Original's range.

'Teenagers really scare the shit out of me…'
