Eryndor glanced at his teammates after posing the answer.

    Paulina had already gotten her reward, so it was unlikely she would get rewarded again.

    As the one who contributed the most, he hoped he would get the most rewards. It wasn’t that he wished for his teammates to get less but that rewards be distributed according to contributions.

    If they had contributed more, he would have accepted it without any thoughts about wanting as much as them or more.

    "Just the resources to achieve the Iron Body realm would be enough, to be honest, anything more would be a welcome surprise though."

    Drakarion responded. He had laid down on the ground with hands beneath his head.

    Vague sounds of professor Melissa organizing her group could be heard from a distance.

    Eryndor could make out a statement or two, and it seemed she was communicating with them about taking another mission since this one was practically not a mission at all.

    Majority of the students disagreed with her idea, wanting to have a break after going through something so terrific.

    "I’d like resources to upgrade my white snake, and my own stage. It’s been too long since I’m stuck on stage one of Beast Seeker realm"

    Valentina spoke, while caressing the head of black snake.

    When a Beast Tamer broke through from one stage to another, their beasts didn’t break through along with them.

    The beasts they had contracted need to be fed with resources which would facilitate their breakthrough.

    It was easier at lower ranks, but the resources got more and more individualized according to the beast at higher realms.

    Paulina looked at Eryndor and asked him in return.

    "What are you hoping for?"

    Eryndor tilted his head. There was nothing in particular which attracted him except information.

    He wanted to know about...himself. He still hadn’t forgotten the outbreak of his powers when he doubted his identity as a Human.

    But he figured that he would anyway be given information once he got to higher ranks in the Human Federation.

    And how would he get to higher ranks?

    Power.

    "The extra rewards from Rodrick’s case will be calculated separately, or be given alongside it if you wish for it, just like Paulina’s situation.

    "She got the spell model from the Academy after exchanging both of her rewards."

    None of them spoke anything else. They also didn’t have any objection to getting their inn switched over.

    Seeing this, she turned around.

    "Follow me. You guys might have dealt with the Anomaly, but both of us know how it was sealed.

    "As the weakest ones, you’ll walk in the middle of the group, surrounded by seniors."

    As they followed their professor out of the jungle, Eryndor fell into thought.

    Heretics huh? What could they have gained out of this? Massacre of students? Death of professor Melissa? Or the Mystical Artifact?

    There could be someone important among the students, or it may be that professor Melissa’s loss would be a heavy blow to the Human Federation.

    Or there might be more to the Mystical Artifact than he knew.

    Eryndor didn’t know what they were after.

    He knew the basic information of the Heretics.

    They were a group of people with mixed objectives.

    Some of them wanted to eradicate all the humans of Earth.

    Some of them wanted everyone to surrender to the Eight Outer Domains.

    Some of them wished to surrender to the Anomalies, as there were plenty among them who were conscious, human-like intellect, and strong.

    There were also some who wished the top elites of the humans would relocate to a different planet.

    All in all, the common thing among them was that their ideals were against the Human Federation who declared their intention to protect humanity on Earth and stand strong without surrendering to anyone.

    There was a high chance that the Eight Outer Domains would simply take them as slaves and treat them no better than their pets if they surrendered.

    Eryndor shook his head, removing those thoughts from his head, and refocusing elsewhere.

    I am looking forward to my rewards.
