As they slowly approached the farm, the scenery gradually disappeared.
“Every day when I look at this city, I always marvel at how incredible magiteks are.”
Austin’s eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice, “Even the weak humans can stand firm in the wave of destruction of the continent and rise again!
“No beasts will ever be able to shackle us!”
“I’m going to the feeding area first. Let’s go home together after work.”
Dearka patted Austin on the shoulder and walked away.
Austin stood in the wind, while his work clothes flapped.
Not only was there a feeding area, but there was also the city’s army guarding it with magic cannons set up.
If the defensive fortress was breached by the magic beasts, the millions of commoners in Faye City would be exposed to the terror of these ferocious beasts.
“I’d better find my head and apply for a leave.”
“I wonder if it’s possible to evolve my cells by catching some wind here.”
Austin headed for his post.
It might be a small siege city, still, it was extremely spacious within the defensive fortress.
Due to the different classes of magical beasts, the height of the defensive fortresses in each district varied.
The defensive fortress B district where Austin was located was no less than a magnificent steel building!
Based on this height alone, even a commander-level beast could forget about breaking through the defense.
According to Austin’s understanding, magical beasts were divided into ordinary magical beasts and vicious beasts. Vicious beasts ranged from weak to strong, and they were ranked in order: from tier 1 to tier 10, which corresponded to the ranking of magisters, plus the apprentice magister.
The difference between an apprentice magister and an official magister was whether they had actual combat experience of hunting ferocious beasts.
To a magister, combat experience was extremely important.
No matter how powerful a magister’s cultivation was, nor how much theoretical knowledge one possessed, if he were to encounter a ferocious beast, his mind could go blank just like any other ordinary person.
In the end, he would die in the mouth of a beast!
Only those who had truly experienced the baptism in the blood of ferocious beasts were worthy of being called official magisters!
As the fierce wind blew, Austin’s cells evolved again.
Air Control and Wind Control leveled up to Level 2.
“It can evolve just by standing in the wind. Awesome!”
Austin was in a good mood.
However, if he wanted to increase his ability to control the wind, he would have to endure stronger winds, maybe even hurricanes.
The ganger was transporting the feed.
“You’re here early.”
Austin stepped forward and said, “Brother David, I would like to apply for leave.”
The ganger stopped and teased, “Hey, so you’re finally dating are you?”
“365 days a year, I rarely see you take a break or apply for leaves.”
Austin shook his head. “I’m not dating anyone. Though there are things that are more important than dating.”
The ganger said, “Date while you can. You know how it is right now where early marriage is the norm.”
“Lots of guys are as old as you. They get married at eighteen.”
“Look at me, I have two lovely kids already.”
Austin chuckled. “No wonder you’re so hardworking, Brother Dave.”
“Alright, let’s get down to business. I want to take a four-day leave.”
The four days off was not a random number that came off the top of his mind.
He had calculated that the official magister exam was in three days.
As for the exam, not only did he have to hunt Vicious Beasts, he also had to spend the night in the Vicious Beast Town.
In other words, Austin needed to take four days off.
