After patrolling Saint Brilliant High School and finding nothing, Kieran returned to his dorm in the old school building.
After a simple tidy up, Kieran sat on his bed and started to sort out everything that happened since he entered the dungeon world.
Obviously, the dungeon world before him had exceeded his previous knowledge.
Fiends.
It was something that he had never heard of in the game.
Of course, Kieran didn't deny that there were a lot of things that he hadn't heard of before.
After all, no player could accurately identify every dungeon world.
Especially as the dungeon entries increased, the difficulty kept increasing and the dungeon worlds gradually deviated from the real world.
However, there were some rules that could be followed.
"The difficulty of the fifth dungeon started to increase significantly and the sixth dungeon had completely deviated from the real world …"
"That is why those players who differentiate themselves based on dungeon entries think that clearing the fifth dungeon is a veteran."
Kieran recalled the conversation he had with Lawless.
Although he was leaning towards the saying that reaching the limit of his character model was a veteran, now that he thought about it, it wasn't unreasonable for players to differentiate themselves based on dungeon entries.
Even more so, under normal circumstances, it would be more logical.
As for him?
Although he wasn't the only one, he was an exception.
Entering the underground game with his life on the line, he unintentionally seized the initiative and acquired some game secrets from Lawless, allowing him to better plan his journey in the game.
Then, he learned the special skill [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art], allowing him to swiftly turn his potential into advantages.
Thus, he maintained a certain degree of initiative.
"I must maintain this initiative!"
Kieran squinted his eyes and shined brightly after he felt the advantage of being the one taking the initiative.
He had no intention of giving up the advantage.
In fact, Kieran would never give up after tasting the sweetness of it.
More so, he wasn't free of worries anymore.
He still had another enemy: Broker.
Once the thought came to Kieran, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. He discarded the useless thoughts in his mind and focused on the dungeon world before him.
Kieran didn't want to die in Broker's hands.
Then …
All that was left was different strengths.
Using higher dungeon ratings time and time again in exchange for greater strength.
"Demons hide in a human's body. Before they erupt, it's basically impossible to detect any difference. Maybe it's because my perception is not strong enough."
On Kana's body, I obviously noticed something different! "
"She should be a hybrid between a demon and a human, and …"
"Funeral Society!"
At the thought of this organization, Kieran's heart sank.
Although Kieran had yet to come into contact with them, judging from the information Kana revealed, the Funeral Society should be an organization that specialized in dealing with the existence of fiends. They wanted to cover up the truth and prevent the commoners from knowing about it. At the same time, they would deal with the fiends beforehand to prevent them from harming the commoners.
However, Kieran was more concerned about the meaning of the existence of this organization.
There was no doubt that the current dungeon world had its own mystical system and it was a rather complete one.
To an outsider like him, this was not good news.
Even with the identity arranged by the system, he still had to be careful not to let the other party have anything against him.
Otherwise …
Kieran had no idea how the current dungeon world treated the otherworldly visitors but in [The Shaman's Partner] world, the otherworldly visitors were usually related to precious experiment materials and knowledge.
Of course, in order to obtain the precious experiment materials and knowledge, the methods used would be a little more violent.
"So troublesome!"
Kieran couldn't help but mutter to himself as he recalled the simple memories of his teacher in his mind.
Although from a certain aspect, it allowed Kieran to prove that Saint Brilliant High School was a very important point, at the same time, his identity was also restricting him.
At least, he couldn't display anything that didn't match his teacher identity in front of others.
"What should I do to make this identity less restrictive …"
Kieran suddenly raised his head while he was deep in thought.
He heard knocks on his door.
It wasn't the door of his room but the main door of the old school building.
Dok, Dok Dok.
The knocks were rhythmic but in the middle of the night, the rhythmic knocks would send chills down one's spine.
When the person who knocked on the door was in mourning attire, it would send chills down one's spine.
Kieran opened the door and when he saw the man in mourning attire, he frowned.
Not only because of the man's attire but also the mask on his face.
The silver mask was glowing faintly in front of the dark old school building and on top of the mask was a crying emoticon.
"Greetings, Lord Bird of Death!"
A floating voice sounded behind the mask.
Kieran was stunned for a moment.
Then, he quickly reacted to the situation.
Reputation and title!
Both of them, which were easily neglected, were playing their role in this particular moment.
Even more unexpected effects.
Kieran squinted his eyes again.
Kieran who was suffering from the restriction of his identity suddenly had a decent idea.
However, the person before him seemed to have misunderstood something.
"You didn't hide your identity, you aren't a nameless person and the Funeral Society isn't a lawless organization either. When you became a teacher in Saint Brilliant High School, we received the news but who would've thought …"
"How could you move so fast!"
You killed the Devour Witch on the spot! "
"As expected of a Demon Hunter that has garnered attention. Then, please accept the reward!"
The Funeral Society member took out a white pouch with the word "Funeral" written on it and passed it to Kieran.
After a quick glance at the pouch and making sure there was no danger, Kieran took the pouch.
The pouch was a little heavy and the sound that came out from it made Kieran think it was some kind of paper money.
However, the pouch made him uncomfortable.
It felt like he had taken over a pouch of paper money for the dead.
Even though he knew it was a reward.
However, following the appearance of the reward, Kieran's impression of the Funeral Society rose by another level.
"Using reward to motivate others to hunt fiends?"
"It must require a huge amount of financial power, common civil organizations don't have the power to do so …"
"A government organization eh?"
Kieran speculated in his heart.
The Funeral Society member who saw Kieran took the reward spoke again.
"Although the Funeral Society will not restrict the freedom of any Demon Hunter, Master Bird of Death, please be careful of Saint Brilliant High School!"
"Something isn't right here, I've reported it to the higher-ups and the Hunters will be here to deal with it soon, please be vigilant before that!"
"I am Lee, the Funeral Society member in charge of the area around Saint Brilliant High School, if you have any issues, feel free to contact me."
"Nice to meet you, I'll take my leave now!"
The man named Lee bowed slightly after Kieran took the piece of paper and slowly walked into the darkness behind him.
Kieran was expressionless when he saw Lee's technique of blending with the darkness. He didn't say anything else before he turned around and went back into the dorm.
He knew what Lee was trying to achieve by purposely showing off his skills.
Showing off his abilities to intimidate Lee.
But …
It was too far away from Transcendence level [Undercover].
It wasn't worth Kieran's attention at all.
However, the attitude that Lee displayed, or should it be the attitude of the Funeral Society that he represented, caught Kieran's attention.
"Using both carrot and stick …"
"Political trickery eh?"
Kieran said with slight mockery.
Then, he placed all his attention on the plan that he came up with just now.
He was swiftly perfecting it.
