As Orga was about to pour a small amount of Null Flower Potion into the beast's body, Stella suddenly stopped him.
"Oh I also have a potion with Let use mine instead."
The latter kindly offered since the man would still have a long way to return ho. He might need the potion along the way
"I see I'll take your offer then" Orga smiled as he kept his potion with him. He only has a small bag with him so she was sure that he didn't bring many things.
"Are you still planning to stay here?" Orga asked after seeing that Stella was done pouring the potion to the evil beast.
"Y-yes I'll just have to rest for a bit and look for a place to hunt How about you, Sir Orga?"
"Mhmm I'm going to your village to et so people"
"Oh Do you know soone there?"
"Not really I just heard that Knights were staying at your village."
"That's correct You know them?"
Orga shakes his head before answering
"I just want to et them and see their strength Alright, I'll leave now Be careful."
"Eh? Alright You too Thanks again for helping."
Orga just smiled and left the place after giving another glance at the sword she's holding.
As Stella watch Orga leave, she saw that a Crimson Eagle was tailing him
"Ahhh Be caref--"
'Don't worry That's his pet.' Reiji said to Stella before she embarrassed herself.
'Pet? That huge Crimson Eagle?'
'That's right'
'I never knew that we could ta those beasts Is that really possible?'
'What are you saying? They're just similar to animals. The only difference is that they possess Spiritual Energy I also heard that the beasts were just mutated animals due to the abundant presence of this awakened Energy'
'Really?'
Of course, Evil Creatures like imps, trolls, and others were different They were just categorized as Evil Beasts due to their strength and low intelligence
Stella was amazed again by her master's knowledge. She only knows that Evil Beast or their kinds must be killed for resources. However, she didn't think too much about how they were bred or sothing.
If the presence of Spiritual Energy affects the evolution of these beasts, does it an that any low-grade beasts would have a chance of getting stronger as long as they are in the right environnt?
She thought before that the evil beasts or wild beasts were born as low-grade or mid-grade already
Stella can only shake her head to clear her mind since this is not the ti to think of such things.
'Anyway, I can get stronger It shouldn't matter whether those beasts can similar grow stronger Sigh~ I got too focused on learning about Arcana that I forgot to study about these beasts'
'Alright Let's rest for now Find a safe place. I can't use my Take Over for so ti so you have to be careful'
'I understand, Master.'
Stella already understood that her Master's ability to control her body would cause a toll on his well-being.
She wasn't sure how it is affecting the Sentient Arcana but she knows that her master can also be exhausted, that's why he needed to take a rest after controlling her for so ti.
More than an hour had passed and Reiji's Take Over cooldown was almost finished. On the other hand, Stella returned to the edge of the forest and fought with several two-horned rabbits. Unfortunately, these rabbits were too fast and once they got hurt, they'll imdiately run away.
Even if she managed to kill one, their partners would actually carry their bodies before bolting away through the thick bushes in the forest. There was no way for her to follow them once they do that It seems that there's a specific material or trap to hunt those rabbits.
Finally, after waiting for so ti, the scent of the strong Evil Beast around the area have vanished as the wild beasts started to return. The warm sunlight was also up so most of the Evil Beasts that were only strong during the night must've returned to their lairs already
"Master I'll look for a worthy foe now Hehe"
"Go ahead Don't be too careless Low-Grade Evil Beasts can still roam around at this ti."
"Yes!"
Stella acknowledged her master's words as she silently walks towards a rocky area within the forest This is the place where rare plants could grow and be harvested in a specific season.
Of course, Stella didn't co here for that She aid to hunt a few Winged Goats that lives near this area.

"Master Orga, did you co here alone?"
The beautiful receptionist stationed at the Jarnae Village's Hunter Association greeted the old man who had just entered the building.
"That's right, Kayla. Mhmm So you're still working here, huh. Where's Liza and Shania?" Orga replied to the brunette lady. It seems that it wasn't his first ti coming here.
"They've been transferred to a different branch I heard that Liza is already working in the capital" Kayla said as she gestured at the chair in front of her.
"Oh? That's good for her" Orga answered as he sat on the chair.
"Yeah So what made you visit here?"
"I just want to et with the Knights Chaos Knights, if I'm not mistaken It seems that they've encountered a strong beast inside the forest"
"You're really impressive. That only happened a week ago but you already heard of it."
Kayla said as she rembers that going through the relatively safe route from Farahn to Jarnae Village would still take 8 to 10 days
If soone could travel less than that, then it only ans that they've traversed so extrely dangerous regions in the forest
Aside from that, it's also incredible to camp within this forest alone Weaker Hunters may not even survive a single night unless they possess Magic Equipnt that could effectively hide their presence.
"So of them were training the village guards while the others seem to be patrolling the outskirts"
"How about their captain?"
"He should be staying at Madam Arlene's Inn..."
"I see Thanks a lot"
Orga replied then asked for the nas of the Knights.
After that, he briefly t the branch head of this village before he left to et Hendrick, the captain of the Chaos Knight unit stationed here.
***
"Ulysses, how's our captain's condition?" Misha asked the knight beside her. The two just finished eating and were about to et with the village guards
"Mhmm He's already fine The only problem was his broken sword"
"Urgh He can just ask for a replacent once we returned"
"Well, that's still expensive."
"That's his fault for bringing only two other knights He should've brought all of us if he intends to explore those dangerous regions." Misha grumbled after rembering that their Captain went on a dangerous mission without telling them.
Hendrick said that they will only scout the area a bit but they probably got too cocky after they didn't et a strong beast.
"Haha It will serve as his lesson. We don't have to tell that to our captain now, do we?"
Ulysses laughed after rembering their captain's pitiful state when he returned to the village last week.
"Sir Soone is looking for you."
A squire suddenly interrupted their conversation as he entered the inn. He should be feeding the horses outside at this ti so it seems that it is an important matter.
"?" Ulysses asked curiously.
"Oh... He's looking for the captain. But Sir Hendrick told us that you'll be handling anyone who would want to et him so"
"Ah You're right You're right Who are they?"
"Ahh He's a Three-Star Hunter from another village. His na is Orga"
Ulysses looked at Misha to ask whether she's familiar with the na.
The lady only shook her head telling him that she was similarly clueless about the guy.
"Alright, I'll et him outside"
Ulysses said as he took his sword and stepped outside to et the Three-Star Hunter.
***
"Those are winged goats, huh I don't think that they can fly with that kind of stomach"
Stella comnted after seeing the bloated beasts silently chewing the grass around the area.
"Mhmm They were indeed unable to fly with that body"
These goats were only Wild Beasts at the low-grade level
Unlike the evil beast that she defeated a while ago, this one doesn't have any Arcane Magic and can only do physical attacks It was a perfect opponent to try her sword techniques. She wouldn't spend too much Spiritual Energy in the battle.
Reiji then used the cloning technique so that Stella can use Enkyoku to approach the Winged Goats
She planned to quickly approach one and prevent it from running away.
There are only four Winged Goats right now, so she didn't mind whether the other three attacked her as she believed that she could handle them.
In case the other three run away instead, it also didn't matter as long as she could take the remaining one.
"Haa!"
Stella then started her real hunt without being interrupted by Evil Beasts or other Hunters.
