[201-400] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 257 - Saya's Decision

With the increase of 100 points to all of his attributes, Souta's strength rose to the next level. This time he was sure that he would pass the advancement exam of the Adventurers Guild.

Swoosh!! Swoosh!!

Souta was slashing his sword in a refined manner just like Yujin. He was training his sword skill so that when he evolved the level of his mastery would reach a higher level.

After half an hour of practicing, Souta stopped as he sat down on the ground. "It's not enough... I felt that my sword skill become stagnant these days." He muttered while looking at his hand. It seems that he really needed to look for a teacher to teach him sword mastery.

He rubbed his chin as he tried to recall how many points he had in the institute. He used his points for Bargan before and Bargan teaches him about tamer.

"Should I use my points to hire some private tutor?" Souta whispered as he glanced in the sky while rubbing his chin. There were dozens of sword teachers in the institute and Souta had someone in his mind. Jess Blueleaf, Bargan's good friend and the teacher of the sword class.

'Do you want me to teach you?' Saya's voice suddenly sounded in his head.

"Huh? You, teaching me?" Souta looked at the sword with a confused expression.

'Yes, I will teach you.' Saya replied to him.

"Souta!"

Souta turned his head as someone called him. He saw Lumilia walking towards him with a towel and bottle of water in her hands.

"Oh, thanks." He thanked Lumilia as he used the towel to wipe the sweat on his face.

"No problem, practicing sword skill again?" Lumilia shook her head and asked.

"Yeah, I need to grow stronger," Souta replied to her as he looked down at his hands. He then looked at her and changed the topic. "What's the situation?"

"Ahem..." Lumilia forcefully coughed and her tone changed into a serious one. "We managed to sell some of the weapons and armors that we got in clearing dungeons. We earned five hundred forty five silver coins by selling the blue grade equipment and below."

"Hmm... That's good." Souta nodded as he rubbed his chin. He then turned at her and said, "The Lanny corp promise me to buy the White Jade Spider for one thousand and two hundred platinum coins. So I want you to divide the rewards to the people who participated in the raid. After that, you can give the lanny group's part to them. They are your priorities. The matter of Dark Oculus we could handle it later."

"Understood." Lumilia nodded and she gazed at Souta in the eyes before asking. "Do you have a plan to break your contract with the Lanny corp?"

"Nope," Souta simply answered her question without saying his reason.

They could probably earn more if they put the White Jade Spider in an auction house but Souta didn't do so because he had a contract with Lanny corp. Most of their spoils were sold to the Lanny corp because of their contract. From the outsider's standpoint, they could only guess that Lanny corp deployed Souta here to hunt this monster. They didn't have any idea that Souta and Lanny corp didn't have a master and subordinate relationship.

They were just using each other. The Lanny corp was using his name and fame while Souta was using their people and properties for his own use. If the Lanny corp wanted Souta to do something for them, they couldn't force him if he declined their request. Souta was free to move according to his will. The contract didn't bound him to work for Lanny corp.

"I see." Lumilia nodded and she didn't ask any more questions about the Lanny corp.

"I was thinking that I should take the advancement exam in this country so that when we returned we could focus ourselves on establishing the legion," Souta suggested as he glanced at her. He opened the bottle and drunk the water inside it before giving it back to Lumilia.
