The Hunt mission was executed throughout the night, leading to a success. Many of the warriors gathered materials from the ogre corpses, for they can be used as ingredients in potions, be turned into mana crystals for armory, and such.


Clarissa took at least eight big ogre teeth, with Luminous helping her of course. She was delighted to be able to gather materials for herself. Ogre teeth are equal to hard steel and can be forged into any weapon.


"It's the first I've seen a woman so happy being given monster parts." Luminous said, knowing better than to question his rider's liking. "What do you plan to do with it?" He asked,


"Hmm? I plan to have a blacksmith make a sword out of it, but I still don't have the necessary materials to make it." Clarissa said, patting the hilt of her sword. "This one has been a gift from my mom when I entered the Knight's course. It's been with me for seven years. I decided to replace the blade and make some adjustments for her hilt, since I don't wanna change it too much." She explained,

Luminous hummed as they made their way back to the camp.








Upon arrival, Apollo was turning the hard flesh of the ogre into mana crystals with Virgil, along with his two other apprentices.

"No, this is plenty for me." Clarissa said, looking back at the rest of the corpses being dragged around by the other knights. "I might return to gather some crystals, but these are quite plenty, Sir." She said,


"You know that there might not be any left later." Virgil said to her, "There's no doubt that most warriors will use the monster's corpse to turn them into jewelry and give it for their intended. I thought that you'd want those."


"That's sweet of them." Clarissa said, not thinking much of it.


Virgil was about to say something else, when he caught Luminous glaring at , much to his confusion. Clarissa wasn't aware of the angry Dragonborn behind her as she waited for Virgil to say something else. The Silver Hybrid knows of their comradeship, but seeing the Dragon being overly protective of his rider, was questioning.

Apollo noticed his brother's expression, chuckling quietly then turned his to avoid Luminous's death glare.

"Is there anything else, Virgil?" Clarissa asked her friend, confused,
