Chapter 55: Joker’s Artifacts
It felt like a bit of a jerk move to reject someone asking for a favor right after they helped you with yours, so Hal didn’t think too much and agreed to Liora’s request, even though he still didn’t know what they would be doing.
’W-Well, she’s quite good-looking, so even if she asks me out on a date, I’ll give her a chance...’
Over the next six days, all Hal did was take on easy F-ranked hunting missions to gather more F-ranked cores and build up his coin reserves as much as possible. He temporarily reduced his physical fitness training to three sessions that week.
He was able to gather up twenty-seven cores, an additional 7 silver coins, and a decent number of academy credits and contribution points as a result.
He should be able to get through the month without any problems.
However, he had to at least win second place, as he would be in a bad position financially if he didn’t.
Hal was pumped, nonetheless.
He believed that his chances of winning were decent.
Furthermore, the rewards were worth the risk, as he would be hitting two or three birds with one stone if he succeeded.
It also wouldn’t hurt too much even if he didn’t.
Right after gathering everything he needed, Hal began his intense two-week Chaos Arcane Link Set training.
