Chapter 15 Nova's break through
It has been 2 days since Alan started using his new meditation art, the nature sublimation.
After he finished his medication session, Allen opened his eyes and looked at his own data.
Name: [ Alan Ortex ]
Stage: [1st stage] [49%]
The efficiency of the new meditation technique alongside plate formation clearly increased his growth exponentially.
One thing that got Alan worried is that Nova has been asleep for almost 2 days inside his sanctuary, although there were no abnormalities. He knew that Nova consumed a third stage core.
Suddenly Alan felt a huge amount of strength channeling inside him. The amount was exaggerated, and he immediately entered a meditative state to regulate the energy that was flooding his body.
A few moments later Alan opened his eyes and looked at his own information, only to be shocked.
Name: [Alan Ortex]
Stage: [1st stage] [89%]
Alan found that he had almost crossed the first stage in one go; just as he was about to look for the reason, he heard Nova request for him to get her out of the sanctuary, so he immediately did.
The moment Nova appeared beside him, Alan almost couldn't believe his eyes; with 3 m in length, the growth was astonishing. He immediately looked at Nova's information.
Name: [Nova]
Stage: [2nd stage] [11%]
Just as Alan thought that he had caught up to Nova only to be surprised that she broke through to the second stage, he thought about the third stage core that Nova consumed before sleeping for 2 days straight, understanding the reason he was pleasantly surprised.
Alan: "Congratulations on your breakthrough. Nova, thanks to you, I'm only one step away from breaking through to the second stage."
Nova, with her huge body, cuddled up to Alan to express her happiness.
Alan: "You deserve a reward. How about I grill you some second-stage beast meat? Let's celebrate."
Nova became excited immediately, looking at this huge black snake behaving like a child. Alan couldn't help but laugh.
....
Alan: "Huh, I can't eat anymore. Are you satisfied, NOVA?"
Nova lying beside Alan hissed with her tongue to express her satisfaction.
Just as Alan was getting ready to clean up and leave a portion for his mother and sister when they came back, his terminal started buzzing.
The name President Carla was on the screen.
Name: [siren crystal tear]
Class: [7th class]
Description: [a crystallized tear of a 9th stage siren beast, The crystallized tear forms under special circumstances when the siren feels clear sadness that could affect its soul and sing a sad melody; it is usually formed after a female siren loses its offspring. The crystal is a strategic resource that contains a huge amount of Ena and has multiple uses, as it can be used to form extremely high-class potions or employ information and many other uses]
From all the 40 objects that he has appraised other than this object, the highest was a 4th class one; the siren crystal tear is the highest class object that he came into contact with.
After he finished writing down all the information regarding the 40 objects, he took a look at the time, and only 2 hours had passed, although it might be a little bit fast, but he decided to call Carla and tell her that he had finished, also to tell her about the 7th class resource that he found.
Just as he was about to call Carla via his terminal, he heard a loud voice right outside the warehouse; someone was arguing nearby.
Alan walked towards the voice only to find Mr. Jan alongside Lawrence and Jaden trying to appease a man with a huge build.
Leo: "It has been a week since I entrusted you with the object to appraise; now you tell me that you can't identify it. Are you joking with me, or do you think I am someone who you can mess with?"
Mr. Jan "Sir Leo, we deeply apologize, but we really exhausted almost all of our resources trying to identify the object that you brought to us, but even I, an expert appraiser, couldn't find anything after studying it for a few days. We can only return your money to you and apologize, as we couldn't complete the job. I can also give you a recommendation for the The Evolutions Master Association; they can definitely identify the object there."
Leo: "Why do you think I came to you? It's because there was no one who could identify it at the Evolution Masters Association. All the people who could are busy or elsewhere, and I made it perfectly clear that I want to put it to auction next week, so what the hell am I supposed to do now? Not only has my object not been appraised, but you even let this incompetent appraiser take a look. You said your name is Lawrence right; you have a foul mouth, but the moment you found out that I am a high-class beast tamer, you start shaking like a twig. Today I will have a word with your president; such a lousy job will put your reputation through the mud."
Listening to the heated conversation, Alan was not surprised; he had already known how foul-mouthed Lawrence can be, but still, this high-class beast tamer is indeed somewhat unreasonable too.
Alan: "Excuse me, gentlemen, I couldn't help but overhear your conversation. Mr. Jan, how about I appraise it and take a look?"
Mr. Jan, who was clearly distressed one moment ago The moment he heard Alan's voice, he felt that he had been set free.
Leo: "Now you want high school students to perform the appraiser? Are you people out of your minds? Enough with the charade. If you don't give me an explanation today, this day won't end well for all of you."
Alan felt the suffocating presence of this man, a power that froze him in his place. Not wanting to lose to his intimidation, Alan used every ounce of his will to defy Leo's order of intimidation.
Step by step, Alan continued walking towards Leo.
Alan: "I might be a high school student, but I am also an expert appraiser, and if you think that your intimidation can do something about your situation or scare us, then you are gravely mistaken. I have understood most of the situation; still, it is not rare for an appraiser to find one or two objects that they can't identify, and listening to Mr. Jan's reply earlier, I believe that the contract does not force us to appraise it. If we fail, so be it. Right now you are trying to exert pressure on us, but according to the federation law, if a high-stage being uses his power to inflict harm and rob the freedom of others, he will be found guilty. And I believe that you know how harsh the punishment system of the federation is; other than that, what you are doing right now is clearly a humiliation for yourself as a high-class beast tamer, so I would like you to calm down so we can talk and find a solution to your problem."
Watching Alan, who walked towards him, looking him in the eye and clearly stating his mind despite the intimidation and the suffocating presence of his, Leo couldn't help but appreciate this young man in front of him who seemed to have a spine, "Not like the one who is called Lawrence, who was shitting his pants now.
Leo looks at Alan. Then he withdraws his aura.
Leo: "I apologize if I caused you any discomfort, but the attitude of the adept appraiser and the fact that my request hasn't been handled well got me angry, and I always was a hothead. You said your name is Alan; it takes courage to stand up to a high-class beast tamer and look him in the eye, telling him what you're truly thinking."
Leo: "I like you, young man, although I still can't believe that you are an expert appraiser; after all, you're very young to be one."
Alan smiled and took his expert appraiser certificate out and handed it to Leo.
Alan: "I knew that I would have to face such situations frequently from now on, so I kept the expert appraiser certificate with me. You can check it, Sir Leo."
Looking at the certificate, Leo couldn't believe his eyes, as this 16-year-old is really an expert appraiser. in all his life he has seen many unbelievable events and people, but a 16-year-old expert appraiser is a first.
