Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Good morning," one of the warriors greeted. He was at the eighth grade of Imperial Level and about forty years old. Dressed in a robe, he spoke in a very friendly manner. "Barnes asked us to do our best to help you improve the strength of your treasure beasts and your skills to control them for the next three months. You can each choose a mentor from our group."

"Thank you," Jay replied. With a nod, he turned to the others and ordered, "You can choose your mentors now."

"I'll choose first." Kemp suddenly stepped forward, putting on airs as if he was the leader of the group. After glancing at Crane College's Imperial Level warriors, he pointed at the warrior at the eighth grade of Imperial Level in the lead and said, "I think you should be the strongest, so I'll choose you."

"I'm Tristan Song. Nice to meet you," he said politely, cupping his hands.

Kemp nodded arrogantly.

Kemp's attitude naturally bothered Tracy and the rest. However, considering the situation, they said nothing.

After that, Tracy and Nola chose the only two female warriors present. Another warrior quickly made his choice, as well. Only Zachary remained now.

"What are you doing?" Vivian asked anxiously seeing that all the powerful mentors had already been chosen.

"Tristan, do I only get to choose from the warriors present?" Zachary suddenly asked.

"I don't think you have to choose only from us. It's just that we are more experienced in mentoring others. If you choose one of us, it will be more beneficial to you. That being said, if you want to choose someone outside of this group, you are free to do so. But I'm not sure whether the person you choose will be willing to teach you," Tristan Song answered bluntly.

"I see." Zachary nodded. Then he looked around as if he was searching for someone.

"Do you have someone in mind?" Tristan So

beauties wherever he went?

It surprised Alisa and Linda to see Zachary approach them, Linda, especially. She was obviously guilty because she was afraid he would spill the beans on what happened yesterday. Before he reached them, she stepped forward and blocked him. "Hey, stop. Don't come closer."

Hearing this, Zachary immediately stopped two meters away from them. He exchanged a glance with Linda and saw that she was pointedly looking at him as if implying something.

"I'm sorry. I'm not here for you. I was looking for Alisa." Zachary turned to look at Alisa, ignoring Linda.

"Me?" Hearing that, Alisa was stunned.

"What do you want from Alisa?" While relieved, Linda still felt uneasy that Zachary suddenly wanted to see Alisa.

"I want Alisa to be my mentor." Zachary got straight to the point.

"What?" Hearing that, Linda's eyes widened. She hadn't expected Zachary to be so bold as to ask Alisa to be his mentor.

Obviously, Alisa was a little surprised as well, but she still looked very calm. However, the way she looked at Zachary had obviously changed. Ever since she'd first seen him, she'd had an indescribably strange feeling. It was as if some part of her knew him, but she had never seen him before.
