While traveling on the fire Kirin towards the small crow forest, Kent took out the inscription and note left by Thea.

After reading the contents of the paper note, he felt surprised. The bronze inscription plate is a one-time usable defensive spell. It can hold the attack of a 12th-grade, elder-level magus. Kent felt guilty after knowing the worth of the bronze inscription.

"It is too expensive... Did she use all her savings to buy this one?" Kent muttered while thinking of defense inscription costs.

An elder-level defensive inscription costs a minimum of 30 gold coins. But Thea's salary is just 3 gold coins. Kent knows that Thea has been saving money since childhood without wasting coins like her classmates. But he never expected Thea to use all that money on him. At present, 30 gold coins are just pea nuts to him, but it is heavy sum for Thea.

"Let it be... I can't give this back to her. Also, there is nothing wrong with taking money from my wife, as Grandma said. I just need to help her later to repay this." Kent muttered, placing the inscription carefully inside the Pegasus bracelet.

He almost reached the city outskirts, and the peripheries of the small crow forest are visible from a long distance. High in the clouds, Mohini is closely following Kent while riding on her pet Lambu, who took the shape of a silent bald eagle.

The small crow forest outer area, which is just three hundred meters, is a thorny forest. After the outer thorny forest, the inner area extends up to 3–4 miles, which is vast plains, and the inner area contains high-ranking beasts and one or two evolved beasts that were untamed as their commercial value is low.

The innermost core area is 6-7 miles and contains deadly killer beasts. As these deadly beasts are burrowing and aqua type beasts, capturing them became a hard task for beast tamers.

At present, Kent's target is to cross the thorny outer area and practice his arrow spells on the outskirts of the inner area, where it is not difficult for him to defend the low-level beats.

As he approached the thorny forest area, Kent flew down to the ground. Flying on the small crow forest area will attract the unnecessary attention of several beasts... that's why he chose to cross the thorny area on foot.

"Master, this is the perfect time to help young Master Kent. What do you say?" Lambu asked Mohini while slowly descending.

"The young master seems to be fine. What help can we do now?" Mohini asked while staring at Kent, who is adjusting his combat shoes on the ground.

"Master, what happened to your brain? Even though this forest area is not a big problem for us, it will be detrimental to young masters. His pet definitely attracts several predators. Why don't you accompany the young master and help him in training for the upcoming competition?" Lambu suggested, gritting his teeth in frustration.

"But we don't have a proper reason to approach him. What if he questions our presence in the forest?" Mohini asked, following closely behind Kent.

Lambu sighed in frustration. "Master, think of something. How about you change into an old lady and I change into a pig? You can say that you are taking me to feed inside the forest." Lambu suggested with a wise look.

"What?! No... I don't want to become an old woman." Mohini immediately rejected his advice with a serious look.

"Do you have any better plans?" Lambu questioned with a smug look.

After thinking for a while, Mohini didn't get any better ideas. With a sigh, she turned herself into an old woman by using a shape-shifting spell, and Lambu became a big, hairless, fat pig.

Turning her staff into a long stick, Mohini followed Kent in close distance while Lambu walked in front on his four paws.

Kent is walking on the usual path where people travel. For added safety, he kept Kirin inside his bracelet and took out his Victor bow.

The path is very narrow, and thorny bushes spread along the path. Just as he passed 100 meters inside the outer area, he encountered small herbivorous beasts and big lizards. But they hurriedly ran away after seeing Kent.

"Oink… oink… oink…"

Suddenly, Kent turned his head back and pointed his bow. He saw a large pig, which is almost reaching his waist height, walking towards him with a grumpy face. Kent drew the bow string, aiming at the pig.

But he did not fire instantly. Just as he was thinking of releasing the arrow, he saw an old woman walking behind the pig with the help of a stick.

He immediately called off his attack and waited for the old lady to approach him. Several thoughts ran through his brain as he stared at the old lady, who is definitely in the wrong place.

Ignoring Kent, the lady continued to walk forward, following her fat pig. Kent hurriedly reached the old lady, who is going inside the small crow forest.

"Grandma… Grandma… wait…" Kent reached her after checking his surroundings for any threats. "Where are you going? This is a dangerous forest." Kent said while he is wondering about what the old lady is doing here.

"Who is your grandma? Call me, madam." Mohini grunted with an uneasy look. "Also, I am a regular at this place. You are the foreigner. What are you doing here alone?" Mohini, maintaining the old voice, acted like she didn't care about Kent.

Kent continued to walk beside her while answering. "I came here to practice my spells. Don't worry... I live in the silver leaf city, and I won't do any harm to you. By the way, do you really know this place?" Kent asked curiously while moving his gaze from the old lady to the pig, which is making piggy noise.

In fact, Lambu is communicating with Mohini, while Kent thought it was noise. After hearing Lambu's suggestion, Mohini kept a serious face before speaking.

"Stop irritating me with so many questions. Just ask only one question. After that, I won't answer anything." Mohini replied in a nonchalant tone while walking at a steady pace.
