Female Novel
Chapter 34
Joyce was confused. First, Gravis seemed very happy to accept, but then he became angry and declined. This didn't make anysense! The old man also furrowed his brows. Despite all his experience, he still couldn't think of a reason for the sudden changein attitude.
"Why not?" Joyce asked.
Gravis was still gritting his teeth. He couldn't possibly explain the concept of karmic luck. It was not because the concept was toocomplex, but because if they knew how karmic luck worked, they would know some of Heaven's inner workings. Heavenwouldn't allow that and would do everything to keep its workings secret.
"| can only accept an opportunity, not direct help," he said after mulling over his words for a while. If he earned the money fairly,everything would be alright. "Of course, | would treat this opportunity the same as if you helped me directly. | will still engrave thisfavor in my heart."
Joyce grew even more confused by his words. Was this his pride getting in the way of benefits? That seemed idiotic.
The old man also didn't know why Gravis said what he said, but the old man had a feeling that this was the best way. He didn'tknow why, but he somehow felt like the youngster was helping them, and not the other way around. ‘but that's impossible,’ theold man thought. The youngster didn't even have tempered skin, so how could he possibly help them?
On top of that, they were not even in danger. The old man was trusting in his gut feeling, but this seemed entirely contradictory tologic. His instinct had mostly proven true in the past, but it was never this contradictory to common sense. What was going on?In the end, the old man fell into deep thought.
The girl, on the other hand, didn't agree. "Are you serious? This is an equal trade! | give you gold, and you give me your help inthe future. What opportunity? Forget your pride! Let's just finish the trade, and you can repay me in the future!" she shouted inanger. Was that young man trying to downplay the favor he owed by getting her money "fairly"? She had never seen someone asshameless as him!
Gravis gritted his teeth even more. "I am really sorry, but | can't accept the money like this. | can't tell you why! Just trust me onthis!" he urged.
Joyce's anger rose, but before she could say anything further, she heard her teacher's voice in her head. "Wait a second. | don'tknow why, but | think we should believe him. | don't feel any falsehood from him. | see only bitterness, helplessness, and fury.Someone on his level can't fool my eyes. | am pretty sure that, what he is saying, is the truth."
Joyce's anger lessened again, but her confusion grew. "But why?" she asked in her mind.
The old man shook his head. "! don't know why, but I trust my instinct." The more the old man believed his feeling, the stronger itgrew. He felt like something beyond his control was happening. It felt like something very profound was taking place. It also feltlike he had evaded a calamity. The old man never felt this way before, and slowly, he lost himself in the sensation. The hunterslooked at the old man like he was crazy. His expression was changing by the second.
Joyce slowly took back the money and furrowed her brows. How could she exchange 50 gold fairly? She started looking aroundthe Hall. Suddenly, she got an idea. "This is a Hunting Guild, right?" she asked Gravis.
Gravis nodded.Joyce began to smile slightly. "How much is a low-grade demonic beast worth?" she asked Gravis.
Gravis realized what she planned. "The carcass is between eight and ten gold, while a mission is a further ten gold," heexplained.
Joyce frowned a little. In order to give him 50 gold, she would need to request three missions for low-grade demonic beasts. Themoney wasn't the problem. The problem was that she didn't know of any low-grade demonic beasts in the area. She knew of onedemonic beast, but...
The old man suddenly perked up and looked at Gravis with intense eyes. Gravis felt like he couldn't move. That wasn't thepressure of a Will-Aura, but the pressure of absolute power. He didn't know how he had offended the old man.
The old man noticed that he had accidentally lost control of himself and returned to his smiling self. The pressure on Gravisimmediately lifted, and he sighed in relief. That old man was powerful. Gravis felt like a helpless chicken in front of him.novelbin
"Miss," Joyce heard the voice of her teacher in her mind. "I think | have an idea. It might be more expensive than we initiallybelieved, but if he can grasp this opportunity, his will will grow even firmer."
Joyce listened to the plan of her teacher and furrowed her brows again. Could the young man do that? Even with their help andhis Will-Aura, it still seemed impossible. After deliberating about the decision for a couple of seconds, she decided to risk it andnodded.
Her teacher took something out of thin air and gave it to Joyce. Joyce took it and looked at Gravis. "Okay, | trust you, but inreturn, you must trust me,” she said with intense eyes.
Gravis already felt trust towards her and nodded without hesitation.
