Chapter 7 Mission Completed
Vesemir had the same doubts.

Aelin's first battle had just happened a short time ago.

Skilled in swordsmanship and accurate in posture.

An excellent witcher apprentice, but nothing more.

But this time is different.

Fine-tuning the center of gravity, unloading the force under heavy blows...

The coordination of the upper limbs and the stability of the steps are completely different from before.

Anyone with a little practice in swordsmanship can tell the difference, let alone a master like Vesemir.

If you ask him to give an evaluation.

Then at least in terms of swordsmanship, Ailin is already a qualified demon hunter.

"Is the Demon Hunter's Eye really that magical?" Vesemir muttered to himself.

"What did you say?" Leto asked.

"nothing."

After dealing with Leto, Vesemir glanced at the Chief who was silently watching the training ground, and then turned his attention back to Aelin.

“Hiss, huh, hiss, huh~”

Ailin gasped and quickly took a few steps back, his eyes fixed on the water ghost who was slowly getting up from the ground.

Sure enough, it still doesn't work.

Without [Demon Hunting], using a steel sword to fight against monsters can't even break through their defenses.

Fortunately, I upgraded the Wolf School two-handed sword.

Otherwise, I don’t know how many times I would be hit by the water ghost.

After calming down a little, Ailin sheathed the steel sword and replaced it with the silver sword.

At this time, except for the water ghost who was knocked down by the last sword, the other two had already rushed up.

A ferocious face approached quickly, and Ailin clenched the silver sword in his hand.

The moment the water ghost rushed to within one step of him, the blue cat's pupils suddenly dilated.

Ailin pushed off the ground suddenly, and rotated his body at the moment when the power was transferred from the ground to his waist.

In a flash, the silver blade drew a beautiful arc in the air, directly cutting off the water ghost's neck, and in the next moment, it split the claws of the next water ghost into two.

Before the head and claws fell to the ground, Ailin did not retreat but advanced, turned around again and beheaded the water ghost that had lost its claws.

At this time,

Although the third water ghost was only two steps away, the battle had already lost its suspense.

Half a minute later.

Ailin let out a long sigh and shook off the blood on the silver sword.

What a great harvest!
Ailin thought.

Listening to the ding-ding notification sound ringing in my ears, a full sense of happiness arises spontaneously.

Thank you water ghost!

Ailin sighed in his heart and walked out of the training ground with his head down.

"Apprentice Ailin!"

Ailin looked up and subconsciously caught the object that was thrown at him.

Open your palm, and under the midday sun, the crystal clear round gem reflects colorful prism light.

It's Vera's illusion pendant.

"Chief," Ailin looked at the chief in confusion, "I killed the water ghost with a silver sword."

The chief smiled, looked at Ailin approvingly, and said:
"I know."

"Rational courage is more worthy of reward than greedy recklessness."

"So yes, Vera's illusion pendant is yours."

"Not only that, because of your outstanding performance, all apprentices can get customized leather armor before the mountain trial."

Without waiting for Arryn's reply, the Wolf School's chief praised Vesemir's teaching level a few more times, and then walked straight to the gray main castle.

Watching the Chief leave gracefully, Ailin felt mixed emotions.

Could it be that I am really being too suspicious?

It seems normal for the head of the school to reward apprentices with potential.

But in the context of the game, hasn’t the Demon Hunter been on the decline for a long time?
Why is the Wolf School in 1179 so arrogant that it uses magic props to boost the morale of its apprentices?

Ailin looked away.

The 11-year-old Hughes, with silver hair and blue eyes, happily danced around him like a stuffed puppy.

The two apprentices lying on the ground also looked at him with gratitude.

For them, in the upcoming mountain trial, it is a matter of whether to wear high-quality leather armor tailored to their needs or tattered apprentice leather armor.

Maybe it’s the difference between life and death.

Vesemir and Leto stood nearby, smiling as they watched the apprentices celebrate their victory.

They seemed to have accepted the omnipotence of the Demon Hunter's Eye. At least on the surface, they had no doubts about Ailin's rapid growth in strength.

Most of the witchers who had been watching had left, but those who remained were all smiling, as if they were pleased with the future of the Wolf School.

The warm autumn sun shone dazzling light through the towering gray tower and onto the blue cat eyes of the 13-year-old witcher apprentice.

For a moment, Ailin felt like a hero.

"Okay, okay, the celebration ends here."

Vesemir clapped his hands, drawing the attention of the apprentices.

"Alin, Hughes, stay here," Vesemir nodded to Alin, then lowered his head and said, "The rest of the injured apprentices, go to the alchemy room on the second floor of the south tower for treatment and get lunch."

The injured apprentice left after hearing this.

Ailin and Hughes followed Vesemir to the six water ghost corpses.

Leto had dragged them all together.

“Next, I will teach you how to extract the materials of the water ghost.” Vesemir pulled out a dagger from his waist. “Watch carefully. I will only teach you once.”

"Don't we have to wait for Bonte and the others?" Hughes asked doubtfully.

“This is your prey. It has nothing to do with others.” Vesemir did not raise his head. “Don’t talk too much. Watch carefully. I will only teach you once.”

"The tongue and brain of a water ghost are both excellent alchemical materials."

"As the most common water element matrix in alchemy, its gentle properties can reconcile conflicts between many high-level materials..."

"Although these two materials are both made from water ghosts, the processing methods are very different..."

Vesemir's voice is still so soothing to sleep.

In less than ten minutes, Hughes' weight was basically on Ayling's back.

The exhaustion from the intense battle was also knocking gently on the door at this moment, trying to enter Ailin's brain.

"...Most people - even some wizards - think that demon hunters rely on silver swords and sigils to kill monsters, but this is not accurate."

"Medicine is also an important weapon for us."

"Demon Hunter Potion, made from strong liquor, water ghost brain, dandelion, mushrooms, etc."

“The configuration is simple and the materials are readily available.”

"After taking it, the demon hunter's reaction speed can be significantly improved and pain can be suppressed..."

"Demon Hunter Potion?" Ailin grasped the key words. "Master Vesemir, is this the only kind of potion for demon hunters?"

"of course not."

Hearing the negative answer, Ailin breathed a sigh of relief.

Also.

There are so many potions in the game, how could they suddenly disappear?

"If you have money," Vesemir shrugged, "you could certainly buy some flashy potions from wizards, night vision, muscle strengthening, invisibility, and so on."

The message in Vesemir's words was already obvious, but Ailin still held on to a glimmer of hope and asked:

"Are the only potions a demon hunter can prepare demon hunter potions?"

"Of course, it's simple and practical, and that's all we need."

Ailin's heart sank to the bottom.

This is not the demon hunter world he is familiar with.
