Chapter 358: Celebration! Hidden Dragon Troupe, Gathered!
Drizzly and Athan finally returned to the Youhan Tree organization after ten days of traveling.
But the atmosphere of the organization appeared different to Athan. It was more jovial, and he even saw people celebrating while walking with Drizzly towards their Hidden Dragon Troupe\'s base inside the Youhan Tree.
Drizzly appeared to have guessed something and smiled and said, " It looks like she returned with good news from her side too. "
" Who? Also, did some good things happened to the organization?"
Athan asked with confusion.
" Yep. You will know soon. The rest of the members should be gathered there already. "
...
Athan and Drizzly went through their base\'s pocket space branch door and saw an ongoing celebration.
All members of Hidden dragon troupes were gathered at this time.
Yone, Tronel, Chunshi, Joza-Eile, Aakerin, Leib, Samira, Drizzly, Shiromi, Athan.
After entering, Drizzly smiled and congratulated Shiromi, " From the looks of things, You won the tournament too. Congratulations, Shiromi. "
Shiromi was a pure human, but she was the most beautiful here. She had long, beautiful white hair and dreamy blue eyes that also had shades of white inside her iris. Her skin was fair, also like a marsh mellow, and there were two pink shades on her cheeks as her mood was currently happy and festive. Her height was 5.8 ft, so she was a tall beauty and cut out a perfect and gentle figure.
She wore a white dress with blue and emerald designs with exquisite patterns. A happy and cute smile formed on her face after hearing Drizzly, " Thank you, sister Drizzly. "
" Hahaha. Everyone, Let me formally introduce you all to our newest member. "
Yone walked forward with a glass of wine in his hand while laughing before he introduced Athan to the rest of the members.
" You\'ve already met Tronel, Chunshi, Eile ( Joza-Eile ), Aakerin, and Leib when we went for that mission. "
Yone smiled and said before he looked at Samira, " That\'s Samira. She is the wild big sister of our group and almost as strong as Tronel. Also, She is overprotective of our cutest member Shiromi. "
*Clank...*
A glass came hurling towards Yone and hit his head before it broke and covered him in the wine, " Humph, Who are you calling wild big sister? That title goes to Chunshi, not me. "
Samira was also beautiful with dark-peach-colored skin and a sexy figure. She had long light brown hair and similarly brown eyes. She was not a pure human as she had a tail and tiger-like fluffy ears.
Yone wryly smiled as he wiped his face and said to Athan, " Well, You got the prime example of the wild big sister. "
Others laughed out loud while Samira felt speechless before smiling wryly. She looked at Athan and smiled, " Don\'t listen to Yone. He just likes to spout rubbish. Anyway, I heard about you from others, Athan. Welcome to our family. "
Afterward, Yone pointed at Shiromi and laughed, " This is Shiromi. Our cutest member of the group. The cause of everyone\'s celebration is her because she won the Penta regional tournament and acquired the chance to join Chaos Monolith Hills. "
Shiromi smiled courteously towards Athan, " Hello, Athan. Welcome to the troupe. I also heard about your unique physique and how wonderful it is. Let us spar when we get a chance. "
Athan nodded with a faint smile, " Sure. "
Afterward, Athan, Smira, and Shiromi exchanged their contact cards so they can contact each other in the time of need or for any other thing.
At this time, Leib the lazy asked, "Athan also went to the Penta regional tournament, right? Drizzly told us about it three months ago. "
Aakerin chuckled as she asked, " It\'s impressive how Athan could win the competition despite being Tier-1 order base and got the chance to participate in the Penta regional tournament. "
Drizzly internally snickered because she had yet to tell them about Athan\'s latest news and how he also won the tournament.
Though she gave a hint about it when she congratulated Shiromi, none of them noticed it.
" Oh yeah, Athan. What is your current strength? We can\'t check it ourselves due to your unique body physique. " Joza-Eile asked as he put a barbecue stick in his octopus-like mouth.
Athan let out his body aura, chaos, and order force as everyone sensed his strength and became surprised.
" Hahaha. That\'s impressive, too impressive, Athan! You\'ve almost hit the peak of the Tier-2 order base. It looks like all left is the saturation of the last stage. "
Tronel dragged Athan to eat and drink with others while Samira moved towards Drizzly and said, " Hey, Athan looks gentle and fair, just like our Shiromi. They make for a nice pair, don\'t you think? "
Drizzly rolled her eyes and thought, \' Gentle and nice? That\'s the furthest words to describe Athan. \'
Athan felt that they were nice to him while also avoiding the topic of the tournament.
He slightly turned his head towards Drizzly and revealed a confused expression.
\' It looks like Drizzly did not tell them about my news. But why are others avoiding it? Wait...could it be that they assumed that I would fail, and since Shiromi won the tournament, they might have thought I was feeling down and were avoiding that topic? \'
Athan wryly smiled internally but didn\'t blame them. After all, He was just a few years old without much experience and not support, so it was normal for them to think that he failed.
In the first place, Yone sent him with Drizzly to broadened his horizons. It was already a big surprise for them when he won the competition at the Gelamix Town.
At this time, Shiromi and Samira arrived towards Athan.
" It\'s our custom that we gift something to the new member. Here, This amulet from me. It will protect you from one attack of anyone who is lower in strength than me. "
Samira took out an amulet from her storage ring and gave it to Athan.
On the other hand, Shiromi glanced at Yone as if she was asking for some permission.
Yone nodded with a smile.
After seeing that, Shiromi took out a pill bottle that contained one pill and gave it to Athan with a smile, " This is from me. I have concocted this pill, and it will help you progress in your order base. "
Athan took the pill bottle with a doubt, \' Help progress in order base? That\'s...\'
He had heard that it\'s difficult to make pills that can help increase in order base and needs extremely rare ingredients. But most importantly, One needs to comprehend the true order of Alchemy to do that.
Generally, After comprehending and grasping the order, which is the most difficult part of progression, One needs to saturate the core, which is a tedious and long process. The saturation process is not complicated as one just needs to infuse chaos force constantly. ( This is only about Tier-1 to Tier-3 order base. )
But the problem here was that your own order ken cores couldn\'t be infused with any other chaos force besides those produced by you. That\'s why the pills that can aid in those progressions are rare.
\' It seems that Shiromi has some secrets. From what I know, She has a unique soul physique and was an Alchemist. But her Alchemy talent is simply mind-blowing if she can already concoct pills like this. \'
Athan thought as he looked surprised at Shiromi. He then thanked her.
Suddenly...
" Cough...." Drizzly coughed loudly and attracted everyone\'s attention.
