Russell couldn't simply nod at Jill's words. As Oliver said, he had given up and let everything go. Nevertheless, he was intuitively sure that a topic that was unfavorable to him was about to come.

Russell, anxious and unwilling to listen, tried hard to think about how all this happened.

(Why? Why is it always like this? I am always disliked or sighed by others, and in the end I am told "You should consider other people's feelings." I am just trying my best to be an adventurer... so that everyone can live in peace and create a better world!)

Russell was filled with restlessness.

In front of him, Melni began to tell something, and Jill looked at Russell in shock. Oliver sighed, holding his head and smiling bitterly, saying "Here we go again." And Alicia kept smiling bitterly.

Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, it seemed that the people around him didn't take it seriously, which made Russell even more annoyed.

(I was always right. I did nothing wrong!)

Russell insists on his own justice and fights against evil for the world. This is his unshakable belief, and he is also sure that he is absolutely right.

He trained his body, honed his swordsmanship, and defeated countless terrifying monsters. This has always been his approach, and it is also reflected in the guild's rank.

(Once I return from this escort mission, I can take the B-level certification exam. This means that I do have the ability!)

Russell is currently at level C. According to the Guild's rules, those above level B must pass a special exam. In order to take this test, known as the certification exam, various conditions must be met.

For example, completing the escort mission of important people is not an easy task.

(Being powerful is not enough! If you cannot persevere in carrying out your will for justice, you will not even have the chance to take the certification exam!)

Russell's expression gradually became serious. To outsiders, he might be uneasy, but to acquaintances, it seemed like he was having another attack. Alicia and the others, including Melny, were completely the latter.

Oliver, who saw this scene, waved his hand and said, "Hey, are you okay?" But his words were not heard at all.

Melni also thought that he should be stopped quickly, but Jill shook his head to stop him. Jill said in a dazed voice: "It will calm down soon."

(Although there may be various shortcomings, it can be said that what we gained was also very great. In that battle, we accumulated more experience points. This is undoubtedly a huge asset for our future growth!)

While Russell was reflecting on himself, he was more positive and forward-looking. His slight smile revealed a kind of confidence. Alicia and the others were stunned by his expression. Although he was smiling, the corners of his mouth were completely twitching.

Russell, the person involved, was completely unaware of this scene.

(Everything is done... in the name of infinite and eternal justice!)

Russell reaffirmed his belief in his heart.

By the way, his companions all showed dull expressions. "Today is so long..." They murmured in low voices, their voices intertwined.

------------------

Xu Zhen and his companions left the capital of Santono and headed south, approaching the forest. They waved goodbye to a monster that looked like a tiger on Earth. It was a monster called the Killer Tiger.

"Goodbye!"

“Be careful on the road!”

“Pica!”

"Skin!"

The killer tiger who said goodbye to Xu Zhen and the others turned around and responded with a shocking roar. Then, it slowly walked away. When the killer tiger disappeared, Xu Zhen let out a long breath and reviewed the events that happened here.

“…But it was a real shock.”

"He suddenly rushed out, and then suddenly fell down. On the other hand, it would be strange if he wasn't scared."

On the way to the southern forest, Xu Zhen and his companions suddenly jumped out from behind a rock. But then, the killer tiger fell to the ground.

They approached carefully to check and found that the weak killer tiger was bleeding profusely. If they left it alone, the killer tiger's life would definitely be in danger. Xu Zhen and the others nodded in agreement and decided to go and help.

With all the care he could muster, the killer tiger was saved, thanks in no small part to the recovery magic Lati had used and some of the powerful herbs he had collected yesterday.

After Killer Tiger regained consciousness, he was wary of Xu Zhen at first, but became docile after knowing that they had saved him.

Through Lati, we learned that the killer tiger was seriously injured because it was attacked by humans. One day, several people suddenly broke into its territory. Although it successfully drove them away, it was seriously injured as a price.

It came here with gritted teeth and determination, but its physical strength and energy were almost exhausted. And it was Xu Zhen and his friends who came here by chance.

Killer Tiger promised to repay the favor one day, and then set out on his journey again. Recalling these events, Xu Zhen said, "I'm afraid no one will have any objection even if we ignore it."

"Yes, why did the owner decide to save it?" In response to Lati's question, Xu Zhen smiled bitterly and replied: "Who knows. I wanted to save it after I realized it. There is no particularly deep reason."

"I feel the same way. How are Lopur and the others?"

When Lati asked, Lopur and Slakic also laughed. It seemed that they felt the same as themselves, Lati and Xu Zhen thought.

They didn't know what would happen to the killer tiger they had saved. He had barely managed to survive, and it wasn't strong enough to fight. If he was attacked by adventurers or other monsters, he might not be able to survive.

But even so, the killer tiger himself said it didn't matter. It expressed its gratitude to them through Lati's translation. Hoping to meet again one day, Xu Zhen looked at their destination - the forest.

"Well, it's about time we entered the forest."

Looking up at the forest again, Xu Zhen recalled some of the information he had collected.

Although it looks small, the forest is actually very large, so be careful. The darkness caused by the dense trees and the many monsters lurking in it provide a great place for novice adventurers to hone their martial arts.

Xu Zhen shook his backpack and took a step forward: "Okay, let's go!"

He pushed the ground hard and sprinted forward. The monsters followed with excited shouts. Just like that, Xu Zhen and his companions entered the forest, as if there was a breeze gently bidding them farewell.
