Female Novel
Chapter 77
Gravis stood up and performed some practice punches. His punches were a little faster, but not much. "Seems like | can actuallytemper my body here, though most of the lightning went into the seed. Maybe | should stay in here for a couple more hours totemper my muscles," he explained to himself. Because of his need for social interaction, he had created a habit of talking tohimself.
“Anyway, off to earn some money." Gravis went out of the door and walked to the reception desk. He put the key down and leftthe Lightning Tower.
"He's out!" Gravis heard a shout coming from his front and saw eight people dressed in the same armor as the two previous‘guards’. It looked like the two guards from before were not alone. Some disciples had, apparently, created an entireorganization, judging by their armors.
They quickly surrounded him and readied their weapons. "You'll regret the day when you crossed- Aaah!"
Gravis had activated his Will-Aura, and the surrounding disciples stepped back in fear. Their eyes opened wide in terror, andtheir breathing grew heavier and faster. Cold sweat ran down their entire bodies, and their weapons started rattling because ofthe trembling of their bodies.
“Let this be your last warning," Gravis explained with an emotionless tone. "Block my path again and see what happens."
The surrounding disciples gulped in terror and couldn't react to what he had said since they were scared stiff in fear. Gravis justwalked away, and when he arrived at a distance of about ten meters, he deactivated his Will-Aura.
The disciples could finally breathe normally again, and their eyes followed Gravis’ back as he walked towards the notice boards.The disciples then looked at each other, not sure if they should defend their honor or not.
"What should we do? If we don't teach him a lesson, we will lose all respect from the other disciples, and extorting money will getharder," asked one disciple.
“He's only one guy,” shouted another one. "! don't know what happened, but this time, we will be prepared! We just need toattack togeth-"
BANG!
Gravis had destroyed a tile on the floor and threw one of the pieces at the shouting disciple, which pierced through the disciple'sbody and destroyed a kidney in the process. The piece was pretty hard since the tiles of the road were not made with ordinarystone.
Contrary to how it looked, Gravis had actually been quite careful with the throw. Those disciples probably had tempered bones,and a throw with a tile piece wouldn't break them. The kidney was not protected by any bones. Furthermore, a person could stillsurvive with only one kidney, so it didn't matter if the disciple had tempered his organs or not.
The disciple fell over and held his bleeding side in horror. He couldn't process what had just happened. The others looked at himin shock and gasped. This was a serious injury and went beyond a simple "spar". That madman was actually ready to lose allpretenses with them!
They decided not to mess with Gravis any further. Gravis had injured one monkey to scare all the others... Well, nearly all theothers.
"Are you insane? We are part of the same Guild-"BANG!novelbin
This time, Gravis threw the piece at the forehead of the shouting disciple. The piece was pulverized in the process, but thedisciple's skin and flesh also exploded. The others could see parts of the skull through the hole. The bone looked uninjured,but...
THUMP!
The disciple fell backward to the floor, his eyes remaining wide open. His head hit the ground pretty hard when he fell over, buthe didn't notice. A lot of power from the throw went to the disciple's brain, and the brain had smashed around in his skull. Thedisciple was still alive, but he had a severe concussion.
Meanwhile, Gravis had another tile piece in his hand and repeatedly threw it up and caught it again. He was watching if thosedisciples would continue making trouble for him.
This time, no one dared to make more trouble for Gravis. They quickly collected their injured comrades and carried them to theExchange Hall. Their comrades needed some serious healing medicine.
Gravis threw the tile piece to the side and walked to notice boards. The other disciples, who had watched the spectacle, gulpedand gave him a wide berth. Even though there were many disciples around the notice boards, Gravis didn't have to wait for histurn to look.
The first notice board he saw was about hunting beasts. Gravis sighed. 'Why do | always have to fight beasts? Ever since | cameto the lower world, | hadn't had a true life and death battle with a human. It's always beasts, beasts, beasts...’ Gravis thought.
He was a little fed up with beasts. Yes, they were excellent tempering for his will, but he also wanted some variety. On top of that,Gravis thought that evil humans were worse than rampaging monsters. At least, beasts were honest with their intentions. Youonly had to look at them, and you would have a fight to the death.
With humans, things grew a little more complicated. You could never truly judge a human's character by just one look or oneconversation. Murderers could use their silver tongue to sound upright and then stab you in the back when they gained yourtrust.
On the other hand, some people insulted and demeaned you when you first met them but would prove to be upright and loyalpeople in the future.
"Why can't people just be a little more honest?" he grumbled to himself in helplessness. Gravis looked through the notice boardfor beast hunts and was surprised about the number of missions. "Over 50 hunts for middle-grade demonic beasts, yet not asingle one for a high-grade demonic beast."
Gravis sneered in disgust. This wasobviously Heaven interfering again.Heaven knew that high-gradedemonic beastswiould dere @s goodtémperi eo the current Gravis, so itdidn't allow any of those to approachhuman settlements. Yet,middle-grade demonic beasts, whichGravis could easily kill, were filling upthe entire notice board. The contentis on NovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
Gravis left the notice board andlooked at a different one. This onewas for escort-missions andtransportation. piee Gravis gaWthereward&vheshowed another look ofdisgust.

Gravis could be morally flexible if it involved his survival, but that didn't mean that he liked it. As long as there were other ways,he wouldn't consider accepting those missions.
Gravis went to the last notice board. This one was for miscellaneous jobs, so basically, everything that didn't fit into one of theother three categories. Gravis read through some of them and saw a lot of missions for specific pills or specific gear. Someothers were for beast-parts and teaching.
The rewards varied immensely, but Gravis saw only some well-paying jobs that he could do. Sadly, those jobs would take toolong. Gravis could only sigh.
"Back to hunting, it is."
