Cloud Formation? Everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't help but think.
'Since when does our guild have such a heaven-defying cloud formation?'
Karen's mood was terrible. Her nose was purple, and one could see blood coming out of it. Of course, she noticed that and took a low- level healing pill. Although the pill was a little expensive for her, as a woman, she couldn't possibly walk around like that.
Not long after, a middle-aged woman appeared in the hall. When she looked at the flood, her face contorted quite a bit. She looked at Karen, who was responsible for the training rooms, and only saw her pointing at a certain guy.
The middle-aged woman then sent a Divine Sense ssage to Karen and left. Karen took a deep breath and approached Krune, who was still spacing out.
"Would you mind to follow , sir?"
Krune ca back to himself and just nodded. He couldn't possibly simply leave after what he had done.
After arriving at a private room, the middle-aged woman was already there. She was no other than the supervisor of the Formations Guild, Lola Javes. Unlike the Alchemist Guild and rcenary Guild of Kaley City, who had supervisors at the Four-Star Level, Lola herself was a Five-Star Formations Masters. She could have applied to another bigger guild branch if she wanted, but she liked Kaley City, so she remained.
She looked at Krune. Because of the flood, Krune's hat, which he liked to use to hide his rainbow hair, was long gone to who knows where, and so Lola was able to recognize him straight away.
"Does your rcenary Guild have sothing against my Formations Guild?"
She couldn't care less if Krune was a genius or not. She loves the guild by which she is in charge of. Anyone who tries to purposely cause havoc here will be dealt with no rcy!
Krune imdiately shook his head vigorously, even he didn't expect sothing like that to happen.
"Speak, how did it turn out like that? Also, don't think you can scape without paying for the damage. Otherwise, I will bring a war to your rcenary Guild doorsteps."
Those were the words that Krune was most afraid of! Paying for the damage!
"Well, it went like this…"
Krune explained the situation, and Lola was amazed after he finished talking.
"Are you telling that with a simple cloud formation, you created that flood? Do you take for a fool? You would need to reach a Three-Star level, maybe even Four, to get that power of this formation. Not to ntion that you would need at least so Rank Four-Spirit Stones on top of that."
Krune looked at her, surprised.
"I don't know if my formation was at the Three-Star level, but I did use Rank Four High-Quality Spirit Stones."
Lola's mouth twitched. Who the hell would waste Rank Four Spirit Stones on a cloud formation? And it was High Quality at that. But she reminded herself that Krune was a genius of elent control, so she decided to test his words first.
"I will bring you to another training room where you will set up the sa formation again. If your formation doesn't reach the Three- Stars level, your guild will have to answer for your acts."
Krune nodded and followed her. After taking out a few more materials, he started to build the cloud formation again. He used his soul technique and ridians to pinpoint the locations for the water elent. After thirty-so minutes, he was done. Lola looked at the formation and had to admit it really reached the Three-Star level! She was impressed that Krune could create this formation with such low-level materials.
"Hmph! At least you were not lying! I will keep my word and won't bother your rcenary Guild, but you will still have to pay for the damage. You have no problem with that, right?"
Krune felt like crying but didn't refuse. Even if he didn't want to damage the guild, it doesn't change the fact he was the one who did it. He isn't shaless enough like Yusa to renege his doing.
Lola called Karen and so other employees of the guild and asked them to do a check out of how much it would cost to repair everything. Not long after, they ca back with the numbers.
"After calculating all the electronic and spiritual equipnt destroyed by the flood, the total price was 337 Rank Three Middle- Quality spirit stones. Considering the ti to replace everything and the work of the formations masters to rebuild the hall formations, it went up to 125 Rank Four Low-Quality spirit stones."
Krune let out a sigh of relief. Only now did he rember that Rank Four Spirit Stones were precious. With the amount he had at the mont, it beca a small issue to pay it over.
Lola checked every spirit stone and then nodded. After that, she entered the next topic.
"Alright! Although I still don't like you, the damage issue is over with. I checked the system and found out you haven't been a formation master yet. Are you here to beco one?"
Krune imdiately nodded. He needs access to the information on Teleport Formations after all.
"Very well, go to the Register Office and give them the necessary information. Your badge will be delivered soon after."
Krune was taken aback, that simple?
"Errrr, what about the test?"
Lola looked at Krune as if she were looking at an idiot.
"You can already use low-level materials to set up a Three-Star Formation. And it is even a simple Cloud Formation on top of that. The test is there for those who don't know whether they have reached the One-Star Formations Master yet. Do you really think you can't build a One-Star Formation?"
Krune had to admit that he asked an extrely idiotic question. Not to ntion that this guild branch supervisor wants him to leave her guild as soon as possible. She obviously couldn't stand his face.
Krune wasn't sad, though. He can get the information for the Short- Distance teleportation formation and leave straight away before anything else happens. Although he lost so spirit stones, the end result was exactly what he wanted.
Krune was once again waiting for his badge, and, once again, it started to take forever for them to give it to him. He felt like he was seeing a déjà vu.
'I don't like this pattern!'
Back at Lola's office, she was discussing with the Formations Guild Headquarters about Krune's situation.
"He broke my guild hall. There is no way I'm giving him a Four-Star Badge. If you want, co here and give it yourselves. I was about to give him a One Star, and you can consider it as being very considerate already. No, wait! First of all, how did you even find about it?"
The person on the other side of the line was the supervisor of the reviews office of the Formations Headquarters, Gimble Luos.
"The rcenary Guild just inford the other guilds they had changed their decision of having Krune teaching elents control to their contestants. He is now directly participating in the rcenary Selection and then the Martial Gathering. From what we could find, the rcenary Guild is putting a lot of effort to raise him, so the other powers are keeping a close look."
"When his na appeared in the Formations Guild system, we imdiately recovered the training-room video and saw him building up that almost Four-Star Cloud Formation with simple and ordinary materials. He is definitely at the level of a Four-Star Formations Master. It doesn't matter how much you dislike him, you can't deny his talent!"
Lola's face was dark. It's not that she doesn't like Krune. She simply doesn't like geniuses in general. She was considered a genius in formations already, but only she knows the truth. Her talent could only be regarded as average. It was through a huge amount of effort that she got where she is today, which, coupled with the fact that he destroyed her guildhall, made her first impression of him be a very bad one.
Gimble knows her. They studied under the sa master in the past. That's why he was the one who was calling about this issue. Otherwise, the higher-ups would have intervened already.
"Okay, I will help you apply for the extra funding you have been hoping for since the start of the year. With this, we are even. How about that?"
Lola's face imdiately improved.
"Are you serious?"
"I am! But I can only help put so good words for you. The rest still will depend on yourself. Consider this as your senior brother's favor."
Lola pondered a bit. That funding would help her increase the Formation Guild size. As one of the cities separating the country from one of the danger zones, Kaley City received a lot of cultivators year-round. Her guild was already having so problems coping with the flow of cultivators requesting for services at her guild.
"Very well, I will take your offer. But don't expect treating him like so gem or anything like that, you know !"
"Great! Then I will pass the orders to accept Krune's ability review. This might help us build so good relationship with the rcenary guild too."
Gimble finished the call, and shortly after, the approval for passing over a Four-Star Formations Master badge arrived. Lola stood up and went to the room where Krune was waiting. After arriving there, she simply tossed the badge over to him.
"The guild decided to make you a Four-Star Formations Master, I was against it, but they have already made their mind. So you can use it from now on."
Krune smiled bitter, it was just as he thought.
"Errr, you aren't planning to make any propaganda over this or anything like that, right?"
Lola's mouth twitched.
"Propaganda your head! If it depended on , you would receive a single start badge and nothing more. The Formations Guild Headquarters only want to build so relationship with your rcenary Guild. It seems like it has sothing to do with the fact you are taking part in the rcenary Selection and Martial Gathering. But I couldn't care less. As long as you don't destroy my guild again, we are good with each other."
Lola looked at Krune's face, and surprisingly, he didn't look sad at all. In fact, it looked like he was about to cry out of happiness.
And she was right. She instantly beca the guild branch supervisor that Krune loved the most! It was the second ti in his life Krune felt that a human female looked beautiful.
"Thank you, supervisor Lola. I will make sure to not break anything here anymore. From now on, I will conduct all my own practicing at my own place."
Lola didn't understand why he looked so happy, but she didn't care either. She simply nodded and left.
Krune imdiately accessed the information available for Four-Star Formations Masters. He found out the two Formations he wanted the most, the Spirit Gathering Formation and the Short Distance Teleport Formation.
'The Spirit Gathering Formation is quite simple, but the Short Distance Teleport Formation is totally different. It needs a lot of materials as well, not to ntion that I need to practice it. It will cost quite a few Spirit Stones.'
But Krune didn't mind. He can now request so help in resources from the rcenary Guild. Since they have announced that they will support him fully, it would be idiotic from his part if he didn't use this opportunity correctly.
Krune isn't afraid that they will try to find out where he is building those formations. They are partners now, and the rcenary Guild put a lot of importance on his Rainbow Core. The last thing they want is to scare Krune away. Any secret he might have can't be compared with the resources they will receive if Krune joins the Divine Path Sect.
Krune was just about to leave the Formations Guild when he rembered one thing. He went to the guildhall again and soon found Karen repairing a Formation.
"Hi there."
Karen noticed who ca, and her mood turned solemn again.
"Errr, sorry for what happened with the door."
Krune then took two healing pills he made and passed over to her.
"These are Three-Star Healing Pills I made. It can heal the injury in your nose completely. In fact, it could even save your life as long as the injury isn't too serious, and I hope you can accept it."
Krune might have low EQ, but at least he has learned that human females put a lot of importance on their appearance, especially their faces, thus, the healing pills.
Karen was taken aback with that. Before she could even answer, Krune put the pills on her hand and left straight away. He has a lot to do after all and couldn't wait forever.
Karen looked at those pills and was at a loss of what to do. Three-star pills are worth a fortune for soone like her. She daren't use one of them to heal an injury as simple as the one in her nose. She decided to keep one with herself for an ergency and sell the other one later. She looked at the direction Krune left and couldn't help but think Krune's face wasn't so bad to look at anymore.
Krune imdiately went to the rcenary Guild in Kaley City, and requested the materials he needed. Lu Ganan didn't say or ask anything and just provided the materials. Those materials might be a lot for Krune to bank alone, but it wasn't much at all for the rcenary Guild.
Krune then returned to his house and started to practice setting up the short-distance teleportation formation. He will need so ti to understand it completely because teleportation formations are dangerous if they go wrong. The space power might turn you into pieces. There could be no mistaking in its set up.
anwhile, on another side of the city, Yusa was leaving the Runestone Formations guild. In her hands, she had a Two-Star Runestone Formations Master. As ntioned before, Runestone Formations are very popular for being able to be brought around. They could more or less be said to be a branch of the Formations Guild. The difference is that Runestone Formations have limited ti of use, while regular formations can stay in place for years.
Yusa could have got a Three-Star Badge. But their group had decided she should hide the fact she can use more than one elent at the sa ti for the ti being. So she could only make one-elent Two-Star Runestone Formations. Yusa looked at the badge on her hand, but her face showed her mind was sowhere else.
'Leave or not leave. The old saying says that it's better to be a head of a chicken than the tail of a dragon, but will I really beco just the tail if I leave? At the sa ti, will I really beco the head if I stay?'
She then rembered her conversation with Ao.
'I will try my luck at the rcenary Selection first. Depending on the results, I will decide what to do.'
