Just 10 minutes after Miyuki and the others left that location, Gina finally arrived.
Anna who had been standing near Rudyard had asked Gina to heal the middle-aged man first.
Gina directly approached Rudyard then crouched down next to the middle-aged man to transfer her healing skill.
While doing the healing, Gina stared at the basin on Rudyard's chest. He guessed that the basin in the middle of the torn clothes was Anna's doing.
"I'm not the culprit. I'd rather attack her head or destroy her body" Anna said with a smile. He could guess what Gina was thinking just from looking at what she was looking at.
Hearing that, Gina laughed awkwardly. He recalled the monsters Anna had blown up when the dungeon broke the other day.
"Who did it?" ask Gina at last.
"My friend. He's already gone. I'll take responsibility for what he did if the Association sues, because I asked him to."
Gina sighed softly. “You're fine, right?” gina asked as she continued to transfer her healing skills to Rudyard Lau. His face looks worried.
Anna stared at the side profile of Gina's face while smiling gently.
‘He knows nothing will happen to me, but he still worries about me.’
“I'm fine. Don't worry.” Anna slowly.
After Gina finished her treatment, she finally saw 9 people still hovering in the air.
“Until when can you make them hover like that?”
Anna looked at the 9 Hunters. “Entahlah. Years, maybe?” anna then laughed a little.
Gina looked at Anna with her furrowed forehead. “What power are you really using? I mean, I didn't feel any magic energy at all on them.”
“I only manipulate natural energy.”
“Manipulating natural energy?”
“Ya.”
“What you really are..” Gina wanted to ask if Anna actually did not have Mana energy, yet she remembered the golden glowing protector the other day that contained Mana energy. Warm Mana energy that felt very comfortable compared to any Tanker and Healer skill he had ever felt.
“I have it, just don't use it too often.” Anna seemed to be able to read Gina's mind just from the look on her face.
“B-so apparently..”
“Well, I'll go first. The people from the Association were close. You can take CCTV footage from the cafe to retrieve evidence of their crimes.” Anna said, pointing to a building.
“But where are you going?”
“I have a place to stay around here. Next time I'll take you stop by.”
"Ah... Alright."
After saying goodbye to Gina, Anna glanced at a young man who was standing some distance away from them.
Luke Stewart instantly turned his face when he saw Anna glancing at him.
When he finds out that the girl beat him shamefully with just a slight blow to his chin, Luke feels very embarrassed.
After seeing Luke for a while and seeing that he was fine, Anna finally felt relieved. He knew that the tip of his wand was just a little grazing Luke's chin. But he remains worried about his control of his strength that may not be perfect, so that it can cause excessive harm to the man.
After seeing Luke fine, Anna instantly vanished from the place.
What Anna did made Luke aghast even the man took a few steps back by reflex, then turned around as if looking around for where he was going.
Gina herself, despite knowing Anna's teleportation ability, but when she saw him again, she was still stunned.
•••
Anna immediately teleported into the flower shop.
The place was dark and left only a dim light there.
"Rin's home?"
Anna finally walks into a room that will take her to an underground laboratory.
Arriving at the front door of the laboratory, Anna immediately entered and saw Miyuki, Bimo Gandri and Yola Silvia there.
Not seeing Ren, so she guesses that the man may have gone home with her brother.
"Miss Anna, are you okay?" Bimo asked with a worried face, as soon as he saw Anna appear from behind the door.
"certain. I'm leaving right away when my friend comes." said Anna slowly.
Bimo shook his head. "No.., I mean..."
"Ah.., I'm fine. Just like you." said Anna. He finally understood the meaning of Bimo's question. Bimo asked what he was doing after Cassey's torture.
Bimo finally nodded slowly, then turned to Miyuki. He mistakenly thinks Miyuki is also the one who healed Anna.
Miyuki who was looked at with Bimo's gratitude, gave a lazy look at him.
'Hey, it's not me.'
°°°
"I hope you're not surprised because we brought you here." Anna told Yola Silvia.
Anna nodded slowly. "good. This place will be our secret meeting place from now on."
"Hey, but this is my lab." Miyuki protest.
"Miyu, are you able to make an experience point improvement in healthy people as well?" anna asked ignoring the protest Miyuki was looking at her with a lazy look.
Miyuki remained silent for a few seconds to weigh up the intent behind Anna's question, before finally nodding.
Anna smiled happily at the nod. "Good."
"Do you want me to do that to his sister too?" ask Miyuki
"Yes." said Anna quickly. He then turned to look at Yola who was looking at him with a surprised face.
"Miss, but... We don't have the money to buy magic crystals."
Not Yola, but Bimo who responded immediately. He knew that the experience point upgrade required a lot of magic crystals.
Moreover, the upgrade that Miyuki's machine creates requires high-quality magic crystals that have gone through the processing process.
"We're going to look for magic crystals in the Dungeon." said Anna.
Yep. What Anna roughly meant was another way. They can absorb magic energy from the corpses of monsters that have been killed and then extract it and be transferred to the body of the Hunter. However, there were certainly other problems they had to face in order to do so.
Bimo knew that, and he spoke.
"But, we still don't have a license" Bimo said. "Lagian..," Bimo did not continue his sentence. He knew Anna had already wasted a lot of money to upgrade on him.
All Hunters knew, even upgrading from F rank to E rank alone cost a huge amount of money. Especially from F to S.
'How much has Miss Anna paid for me? Millions Dollars? Or Billions of Dollars?'
Just thinking about it made Bimo goosebumps.
When Bimo finds out that his level has been upgraded, Miyuki lightly says that she did it with the help of the magic crystal Anna gave him.
"Don't think about it. I'll think of a way." Said Anna. He already had a plan to utilize the head of the Academy and also he wanted to speak to the chairman of the Hunter Association, Ronald Stewart, to be able to purchase a lot of Dungeon raid rights.
But for that, he needed a lot of money. That's why Anna looked back at Miyuki.
"The crystal I brought back at the time, have you processed it?" ask Anna.
Miyuki nodded and pointed at a machine.
"The crystal is still there. I'm still waiting for my friend's printing machine."
Anna followed Miyuki's gaze, then went to the front of the machine that was the size of a refrigerator with two doors.
Anna could feel the magic energy within the machine was much purer than that contained in the raw, untrained magic crystal.
"You're amazing, Miyu." praise Anna to Miyuki who's already standing next to her.
"I just need the capital to make these things." Miyuki said with a flat tone of voice. He did not feel happy with the compliment and also did not respond to it excessively.
Anna glanced at Miyuki while furrowing her eyebrows and smiling thinly.
Miyuki again spoke, "But, in order to upgrade like on my first product, we need at least three trucks full of magic crystals."
the 3 magic crystal trucks that Miyuki was referring to were an overwhelming number.
Even a Dungeon alone could only produce at most 4 magic crystal carts. It was also with different qualities, depending on the level of the Dungeon.
"Products?" asked Anna who was somewhat troubled by the word.
Miyuki turned to Bimo and looked at the man happily.
"I knew it would work. But when I saw the results, I was really happy." Miyuki said later.
"Ah, b-so..," Anna responded with a flat smile.
'He considers man to be his product?'
Anna recalled the magic crystal she had 'stolen' from the Black Diamond guild. He could sell those magic crystals to the black market to earn a lot of money and buy the Dungeon raid rights.
The benefits they could get would be much more if they cashed in the crystals to purchase the Dungeon raid rights and conduct a raid, compared to directly using the crystal as material for the experience point upgrade.
However, if the magic crystal that already had the Black Diamond guild logo was seen by the people from the black market when Anna sold it, Anna was worried that trouble would ensue.
"If the crystal is melted down first and printed again, then I don't have to worry that people will know where I got it from" Anna thought.
Anna then looked and noticed the height of the laboratory room that seemed to fit to accommodate the height of the Orc's body. So, Anna finally opened the gate to her artificial world inside the laboratory room.
"You guys, come with me." asked Anna, after the gate was fully open.
What Anna did, was certainly not a normal and normal thing.
Seeing the gate that was very similar to the gate of a Dungeon appearing just like that after Anna drew a circle in the air, naturally made everyone who was in the room shocked.
"W-what the fuck...?"
Miyuki even opened her mouth wide for not believing what she had just seen.
'A Dungeon gate appeared in my laboratory?! From the vastness of the world, why should it appear here? It's a bad thing!'
