After returning to his room, Alvin finally opened the gift he received from the subquest, Rimi's item.

"Knowing someone's favorite level?"
["Yes."]
Alvin speechless.
["What's up? You should have said 'wow'."]
"What's the point of this skill?"
["It's useful. You'll instantly know someone's favorite level of you."]
"What's the point of me knowing that?"
["That would be very useful to save your time. You know who could potentially be friends and business associates. You can also choose well which people you should work with and you should poison."]
"..."
["You're also curious about Ivory's favorite level of you, right? You can tell when you use it."]
"You guys are crazy! I almost died just for this weird gift?"
Glup...
"T-no... I'm sorry."
Alvin suddenly regretted his harsh words when he heard Rimi's electronic flat voice in his head.
......................
At midnight, still on the same day as Alvin's meeting back with his father in City T, Alvin opened the level 81 quest from inside his room.
Knowing that it would probably take him one to two days to complete the quest, Alvin certainly did not forget to leave an electronic message to Vina before entering the gate of the quest.
But in fact, he didn't just take one to two days. Alvin only returned after spending 15 days in the quest, after defeating the most powerful hologram creature he had ever encountered. Not his fighting ability, but his defense.
His opponent this time was a Healer-Tanker-type hunter who also had hunter shoes and gloves like his.
The thing that made it difficult was not how to fight sadistic hologram creatures like Assassin-type hologram creatures.
Which makes Alvin difficult, besides because he has a strong defense, can heal injuries, can regenerate severed body parts after a day of Alvin's efforts to decide, he said, the other reason was because Alvin could not use any jobs other than Healer and Tank as well.
Had he been able to use the Warrior job alone, he would have been able to defeat the hologram creature on the second or third day since he did the quest.
But, there are other things that are still profitable for Alvin. He had an airbender, a skill that the hologram creature did not possess.
So, Alvin took a long time to complete the quest because he also had to practice manipulating the air around the opponent, to make the opponent was unable to move.
The progress that Alvin got from training the technique was seen very clearly day in and day out. From that initially had no effect on the opponent, until he could make his opponent fall slipping when he could already scuttle the opponent's leg from afar.
Until finally, he could make half of the opponent's body unable to move at all.
.........
On the 12th day, Alvin was able to fly the opponent's body and slam it. But, since his opponent also had self defense and healing skills that boosters added from his gloves, then he had not managed to defeat him in that day.
Until finally the 15th day.
At the beginning of the day, Alvin fights an all-out battle against the ordinary hologram creatures.
In the middle of the day, he dropped all the sharp weapons he had on the floor. He stuck the handle of the sword and dagger on the floor, with the blade facing upwards.
["Is this some kind of nail bed?"]
"You just look. You haven't given me any ideas at all in these 15 days."
["You don't need my help fighting it. You're not risking your life here. Just risking age."
"..."
["All right. I will take a break from my forging activities. Anyway, I've run out of material."]
"That's because inventory space isn't enough. Why isn't the inventory space expanded?"
["You're definitely going to pile up a lot of useless trash."]
"... Never mind. I'll start the fight again."
.........
As usual, Alvin attacked him brutally using a sword. He continued to attack opponents who only continued to fend off attacks with a shield and only once or twice counterattacked with his sword.
Alvin knew that the creature also had the intelligence to read the pattern of the opponent's attack and how the opponent started a fight.
That is why, from the fifth day, he had gotten used to showing the creature a clear way of attacking him so that his opponent kept the pattern of fighting in his memory.
Alvin had actually prepared a trick to be able to defeat the creature. He always practiced his tricks every day, after they finished the fight.
He trained the trick in his head, while waiting for the 'most important thing' to be trained, so that the trick can be done smoothly. He must be able to use the airbender perfectly so that the trick to destroy the opponent's body can succeed.
.........
When they had almost reached the top of the 15th day, Alvin finally used a trick that he had been trained for.
While the creature was focusing on using Mana energy to recuperate as was his habit after his solid hologram body was severely injured, Alvin very quickly caught it as it was on day 12, with the ability of an airbender.
This time, Alvin was able to make his opponent's body stiff by compressing the air around the body of the hologram creature.
Alvin then flew the hologram creature and slammed it on the sword and dagger he had arranged in such a way on the floor.
Brakkk...! Cracks... Crak...!
At the first dings, the entire sword and dagger were stuck in the opponent's body. After that, Alvin continued to slam his opponent until the entire weapon was planted and penetrated to the other side of the hologram creature's body.
That way, the opponent would only focus on using the remaining Mana energy on healing and regeneration magic. But, Alvin continued to slam him down hundreds of times, until the opponent completely ran out of Mana energy to be able to recuperate again.
When his opponent was severely injured, Alvin approached and cut off his neck.
The srattt!
Alvin immediately laid his body in the circle of the neutral zone after hearing the notification of his success from Rimi.
It was fortunate that he had a skill that did not require him to use Mana energy. He just needs to have focus and mental strength to be able to use the airbender. From the results of yoga practice and physical exercise, he has enough mental strength to be able to make the hologram creature not warty.
.........
"Hosh... What message?"
["Hnn?"]
"Usually. hosh... There's a message you're saying. hosh... From each test quest. hosh..."
["This time does not exist."]
Alvin was silent for a moment. He wanted to curse, but he was very tired. To be able to curse with the maximum, he needs to regulate his breathing first.
Mina knew what was on Alvin's mind so she told him what the purpose of this level 81 quest was.
["The purpose of this quest, other than of course to obtain one of the Hunter Equipment, is to test your endurance. Whether it's in terms of defense skills, self-healing, or physical strength,"]
["Well, you're also lucky to have an airbender. With the mental strength you've been practicing, that skill can also be mastered much more easily, right?"]
Alvin's frustration finally subsided after hearing that explanation. So he also knew the benefits of his 15-day fight. He considered this quest really like a test of endurance and of course patience.
"But... Did you guys really give and make me items in order?"
["Hnn?"]
"After I remember, I got the item right before I needed it. Isn't that weird?"
["really? Could it be a coincidence?"]
"How can that be called a coincidence? If I didn't have an airbender, I might just win against that thing after being here for months or years."
Mina was silent. Especially Rimi.
"Spider webs, poison, stealth, Rimi items and almost everything. I got it right when I needed it."
["Didn't you get them from the Dungeon monster? Rimi simply extracts their magic into an item. What's so weird?"]
"I knew. But it's a coincidence, right?"
["You're right. So, what do you mean by this complaint?"]
"Why don't you just give it your all? Do I have to wait for me to meet a monster that has the skill to match what Rimi can make first?"
["Tsk... If Rimi gave it his all straight away, it would be like a flood. You're gonna drown. Just enjoy the process before you cry to go back to these good times."]
"Tsk... Your words are always the same."
["Because of that, don't ask unimportant questions."]
