Chapter 120
Cerb turned to Gravis with wide eyes. "You can do that?" he asked in disbelief.
Gravis simply nodded. He was not surprised that Aion knew about his battle strength. Aion had already proven how good theinformation network of the Heaven Sect was. Gravis could also infer that Aion didn't fully grasp his battle strength yet, or else hewould know that Gravis had already killed someone at the seventh level of Energy Gathering.
Gravis never had a comparison in the Energy Gathering Realm. He didn't know if there were other people in the EnergyGathering Realm who could jump ranks to fight stronger people. Apparently, that was pretty rare. Gravis guessed that allHeavenborn could probably jump one rank due to their Heavenly Pressure. Though, jumping two ranks seemed to be rare.
"Gravis," said Aion, as Gravis turned to him. "We have three regular jobs that we have to do. The first one," said Aion as hepointed at Cerb with his thumb. "Is exchanging gold for Magic-Stones. Our headquarter in the Core-Continent doesn't need gold,but Magic-Stones are useful. Cerb is our only person right now whose job it is to exchange gold for Magic-Stones."
Cerb was proud that he was the sole person responsible for that. "Though he is not particularly good at it," Aion shot him down,and Cerb didn't seem as happy anymore.
"What about the other two jobs?" Gravis asked.
“Another job is the scouting of new Heavenborn," Aion continued. "New Heavenborn don't know that they are Heavenborn andalso don't know about our guild. Most of the time, Heaven tells our High Priest about a new Heavenborn that is ready to join us,though not always. You were one of those exceptions. Heaven has not told us about you, previously."
Gravis nodded. Why would Heaven tell them about him being a Heavenborn, when he clearly wasn't. Gravis was happy thatHeaven seemed to be sloppy at times. If he were the only "Heavenborn" that had not been announced previously, it would havebeen way harder for Gravis to worm his way into the Heaven Sect.
"So, those scouts get sent to the locations to retrieve our junior brothers and sisters?" asked Gravis.novelbin
Aion nodded. "Exactly. We are responsible for the south and the east of the Middle and Outer-Continent," Aion explained. "Asyou already know, the distances are far, and it takes a long time to go to their locations, find them, and bring them back. We havetwo sisters who are responsible for scouting, and they are very rarely here."
"| guess the last job is the job of an executioner?" asked Gravis.
Aion nodded again, but before he continued, he kicked some gold coins into Cerb's face. "Why are you still here? Go, do yourjob!" he shouted while pointing at the door. Cerb was listening at the side, but when he heard Aion shouting and felt the goldhitting his face, he quickly scrambled to collect the gold. Shortly after, he waved to Gravis and went out of the door.
Aion gestured with his head that Gravis should follow and also went out of the door. They walked down a hallway, and Aioncontinued his explanation. "We need to gather fighting experience, and we also need to do our jobs, which is to hunt the peoplewho go against Heaven. An executioner's job is to hunt those criminals down and to kill them."
Gravis walked beside Aion and looked at him. "How do we judge someone to be a criminal?" asked Gravis.
“Either Heaven directly tells our headquarter and they inform us or a branch manager decides it," Aion pointed at himself andsmiled. "| am the branch manager of this area of the Heaven Sect, by the way."
Gravis nodded. He had already guessed as much. Aion had already shown his incredible power in front of Gravis, and Gravisguessed that there was probably nearly no one in the Spirit Forming Realm in this branch of the Heaven Sect. Suddenly, Gravishad a thought.
“Hey, senior brother," he said as they continued walking. "How come you came to find me and not someone else? Isn't that thejob of the scouts?" Gravis asked.
Aion smiled. "Funnily enough, | heard about you in the guild meeting of the Middle-Continent. Every four years, the ElementalGuilds in the Middle-Continent gather and let their juniors battle for glory and money, of course, that excludes us. The GuildMaster of the Lightning Guild in the south told me about you. By the way, if you didn't know, there are four guilds of each elementin the middle continent, while there two for us."
Aion laughed. "I didn't remember your name in the dossiers about new Heavenborn, so | grew interested and suspicious. Goingto that Proxy-Lightning Guild on the way home didn't take much time." Aion smiled and looked at the ceiling. "| am sure thatHeaven has guided me to you."
‘Yeah, I'm also sure of that,’ thought Gravis. This was one of the ploys of Heaven to kill him, yet, in the end, it had benefittedGravis. If Heaven hadn't sent Aion to kill him, then Gravis wouldn't have gotten into the Heaven Sect that easily. If Heaven hadn'tsent Aion to Gravis, Aion might not have defended Gravis from the expert of the Lightning Guild. Aion might have decided that ifHeaven wanted Gravis to live, he would have survived the encounter by himself.
"Then | am happy to be under Heaven's guidance," said Gravis with a smile. "Yeah, as if.’
Aion nodded. They had been walking for a while and had also climbed multiple stairs. Yet, Gravis had not seen another person,except Cerb, so far. The Heaven Sect seemed luxurious but very empty. "How many people are in the Heaven Sect?" Gravisasked.
"Including you, we are eleven now," Aion said. "| am the branch manager. One disciple is responsible for the exchanges. Twodisciples are responsible for scouting, and seven disciples, including you, are responsible for executions." Aion looked like heremembered something. "We should get back to the topic, actually. We got sidetracked."
They stopped walking at the end of a hallway on the highest floor of the castle. "So, your job as an executioner is to kill criminalsone level higher than you, but in your case, it is two levels higher. The reason for that is that you can't get any meaningful combatexperience otherwise. On top of that, with the Heaven's Balance Cultivation Technique, you can also increase your Realm likethat. Though remember, the criminals put up a fight and can redeem themselves by killing you,” explained Aion.
Gravis furrowed his brows. "They can redeem themselves by killing me? But haven't they been branded as criminals? Howwould that redeem them?" Gravis asked.
Aion smiled. "If the criminal manages to win against a Heavenborn, someone who has the highest karmic luck and HeavenlyPressure, then Heaven obviously doesn't want that person to die. We can't read the thoughts of Heaven, so we can only find outvia this method. Heaven only talks to our High Priest, after all," Aion explained with patience.
Gravis nodded. "That makes sense," he agreed.
Aion also nodded. "We were missing someone to hunt the criminals at the sixth level of Magic Gathering, so you came at theperfect time. But before you can begin," suddenly, the door at the end of the corridor and another one in the middle of thecorridor opened. "You first need to learn the Heaven's Balance Cultivation Technique.”
Aion pointed to the door at the end ofthe hallway. "This is my office andliving room. | am always available,"Aion said and then) pofadedattheothéno ed door. "This is yourroom. First, learn the Heaven'sBalance Cultivation Technique. Thatshould take some days. One weeklater, come to my office, and you canstart working." The content is onNovelDrama.Org!

Gravis furrowed his brows. "It shouldn't take that long to learn it.”
Aion groaned. "You are new here," he said. "You don't need to stress yourself out. Just learn it and when you're done, go andtalk to your senior brothers and senior sisters. You can also go out and play with your Hurricane Hawk, for all | care. Just relaxfor a week, and then we can start."
Gravis was a little surprised when heheard that. Aion seemed a little toofrustrated with Gravis wanting tostart earlier. He h dalg9 s@oimeddlitle tod irGsitate by Cerb bringingin more gold.

"No problem. Thank you, senior brother," Gravis said.
Aion nodded and went into his office. Gravis also walked into his room, and he felt like he should be surprised about his room,even though he wasn't. Just like the rest of the Heaven Sect, this room was incredibly lavish and full of decorations. His bed wasgigantic, and probably over ten people could comfortably sleep on it.

Gravis looked around the room and sighed.
"I'm not used to this."
