After we reached the village, many people looked at us funny. We didn't want any trouble, so we hurried back to Isabel.
When we got back, even Isabel was surprised. We didn't know what was going on until she explained it.
Apparently, I had a B-Rank monster, one that could eventually advance all the way to SS Rank after becoming an adult and facing its Divine Tribulation.
We were surprised by the news, but we were even more surprised when we heard about John.
He was only two cities away.
In one week, our studies at the Academy would be finished, and after that, we planned to join a guild.
During our remaining time there, I learned Dark, while my brother learned Light.
After that week, we set off.
When we arrived at the first village, we weren't too far from our destination. It was already nightfall, so we stopped at a nearby inn.
Before leaving the next morning, we gathered information about John.
We heard that he had been there killing monsters that were destroying the village.
He sounded so heroic that it made me like him even more than I already did.
