Chapter 72: Finally over
The package that was on the table was the magic sword that the Orc King had used.
This had been brought back by me, but it had been taken away by the guards when they had arrested me.
I had thought that I would never see it again, but here it was in front of me.
I turned to look at Bing Xin, but she just gave a nod when she saw me look over to show that she agreed with this. However, I wasn't surprised by this since I knew that this wouldn't have been brought here without her approval.
By all rights, this thing should have been her loot since she was the one that had killed the Orc King and she was free to do whatever she wanted with it.
Whether she sold it or used it for something else, it was her right to do so.
But giving it to me was…considered wasteful.
After all, I was nothing more than a F Ranker. Giving me this kind of precious magic weapon was considered a large waste since technically I shouldn't be able to draw out its full power.
I looked at her for a bit before asking, "Is it really alright? Isn't this a…"
Before I could finish, Bing Xin said, "This is my loot, so I can do whatever I want with it and I want to give it to you since you saved my life."
I opened and closed my mouth a few times before saying, "Thank you."
Bing Xin just revealed a bright smile before she said, "But there is a catch to this."
I was caught off guard by this sudden twist, but I wasn't surprised by this since this seemed about right. There was no way that she would just give something as precious as this to me without expecting something in return.
So I calmly asked, "What is it?"
Bing Xin looked at me with a serious look and said, "Why did those C Rankers suddenly stop while they were attacking you? It seemed like there was something that had caused them to stop like that. Did you do it?"
I revealed a faint smile when I heard this since I had already expected her to ask me this.
Since I had expected her to ask me this, naturally I already had an answer prepared.
I just calmly said, "I'll demonstrate to you what I did if you want."
Bing Xin was surprised before she gave a firm nod.
I looked at her and softly said, "Be dizzy."
The moment that I said this, Bing Xin couldn't help shaking a bit even though she was sitting down before deeply knitting her brows.
All of a sudden, there had been a strong wave of nausea that had run through her that had almost made her fall out of the chair. If it wasn't for her strong will, she might have actually fallen out of the chair.
However, she was able to keep herself in the chair in the end.
With this, she understood what had happened to the C Rankers that had chased after them.
Lin Fan had used this command to incapacitate them at the last second so he could catch them off guard and cut them down.
That was why they had suddenly stopped in the middle of the fight.
But she couldn't help looking at him with a strange look at the same time.
After all, this was a F Rank power that had even affected a B Ranker like her.
This wasn't something that should have happened…
Could it be that there was something else that he was hiding or was there something special about his power?
Bing Lan was the one that explained in the end.
Based on the context clues, she had already been able to figure it out, so she said, "You should look carefully at the description of his ability again."'
Bing Xin was confused when she heard this, but she still followed Bing Lan's suggestion in the end. However, she wasn't able to figure out a single thing even after staring at it for a bit.
Bing Lan said with a smile, "It says that it depends on the willpower of the user and the target, doesn't it?"
There was a look of slow recognition that appeared on Bing Xin's face after she heard this.
She had already seen Lin Fan's willpower when he had done everything he could to save her, so she didn't doubt that.
But it really seemed incredible that he had enough willpower to even affect a B Ranker like her.
When I saw the way that she looked at me, I added with a bitter smile, "It's only because it's a small command like this. There's less resistance to small commands like this as opposed to large commands. If it's a large command like 'kill yourself', you can be sure that it wouldn't work."
Hearing this, the two of them gave understanding nods.
With this, Bing Xin revealed a satisfied look as if she had finally gotten the answer that she had been looking for.
This was the one thing that had been bothering her the entire time, but now that it had been explained, it was like a weight being lifted off her shoulders.
Bing Lan could also see this, so she revealed a happy smile, but she also quickly went back into her guild master mode as she turned to me. With a serious look, she said, "For now, you're free to do what you want, but I would focus on getting ready for the Irregular License Exam."
I gave a nod in response to this.
Passing the Irregular License Exam was my key to entering the guild formally, so that was what I had been planning on focusing on in the first place.
Bing Lan gave a nod too before adding, "I'll be assigning someone to take care of you, so you'll be getting your instructions through them. They should be contacting you in a week after you get some time to rest."
I once again nodded in response to this.
Bing Lan also gave another nod before saying, "Alright, that's all I have for you. You should see the money being deposited into your account by the end of tomorrow."
With that, I was dismissed from the camp and allowed to go on a week long vacation.
It was finally over and in the end, it had ended the way that I had wanted it to end.
