Now he could encounter more C Rank Monsters in the Great Forest since the limit had increased. This also enabled Asher to send Rifir to distant parts of the forest now that Rifir\'s new skill allowed it to travel much farther from him.

Whenever Rifir encountered a monster too powerful for itself, it simply returned to Asher.

However, such instances were rare. Only A Rank Monsters posed a threat to Rifir; he could easily evade a B Rank Monster with his current strength.

Asher halted abruptly, his eyes fixed in a specific direction. In an instant, he vanished, using his enhanced Mir Steps to dash forward.

Drawing his sword mid-air, he pushed himself downwards as his sword tilted slightly and blade was pointed towards the monster.

The monster below sensed his approach, but it was too late: Asher\'s black sword pierced through it, ending its life.

The other monsters near the dead monster got alerted as they were about to launch themselves towards Asher but the thick killing intent stopped them.

It wasn\'t something that Asher was doing intentionally, but the more he gained his strength, the less control he had over his madness.

Although now due to the intelligence stat was helping him, his killing intent was leaking out due to the constant fighting.

It was only for a small moment, but it was enough for the monsters to get wary of approaching Asher, but due to the fact Asher had killed one already.

The others also rushed towards Asher, together, but they met their end as Asher moved his sword to the right but after killing one monster his swift slash changed it\'s direction and he moved it to his left side.

His speed made it look like he killed both of them at the same time, but it was due to his increased mastery and improvement he made in the flaws he saw in his own technique.

"This should be enough for today," Asher looked around him.

He was standing in the middle of the dead monsters all around him. With blood on his clothes, Asher\'s indifferent eyes would have instilled fear in the mind of any student if they saw him.

The news about Asher being granted the access to Great Forest was already spreading in the World Academy.

Some students saw him entering and leaving, and they spread the news everywhere.

And currently, there was a discussion going on in the Student Council Room where Raelyn and Tyrone were standing with Reece in the room.

On the couch, Kevin and Elena and Eva were also sitting there and right now they were discussing about this thing.

"But why is he been given the permission to enter the Great Forest like this?" Elena asked Raelyn.

The answer was something they all knew but it wasn\'t something they wanted to admit.

"Hmm, he has the strength of a C- Rank Hunter, so it make sense he can enter there," Reece said maintaining the smile on his face.

Tyrone stood there silently, as he didn\'t wanted to participate in this conversation.

And Kevin did the same, but the reason was different from Tyrone.

Since his return from Medical Facility, Kevin has been practicing alone but he still didn\'t find out what the reason was behind him feeling like his strength was fading.

And listening that the person he wanted to defeat has reached C Rank already messed his mental.

Raelyn on the other hand noticed, Kevin\'s face and she knew that it was better to not discuss about this issue.

"Well, let\'s not focus on this we have work to do," Raelyn changed the subject.

They hadn\'t gathered here for discussing about Asher.

Raelyn was only spending some time with Kevin and others, but she called Reece here because she wanted to discuss something.

Noticing, Raelyn\'s thoughts Reece looked at Eva who nodded back at him.

"Let\'s go," Eva told Elena and Kevin as they stood up to go back.

"I heard that there might be a few changes in the End year tournament?" Reece asked and Raelyn nodded.

Tyrone sat there silently, as Raelyn explained him a few things she heard herself.

"You know that I need this win right?" Raelyn looked at Reece.

"If the format changes and it becomes only a Third Year thing, you have a good chance," Reece told as he glanced at Tyrone.

Raelyn and Tyrone were both third year Rankers, but so was Leonard Tarvian.

"I will help if this involved Fourth Year, and looking at it now, there might be a chance fourth year might get involved," Reece said.

Due to the fact that Fourth Years were summoned back and the situation might not change in the near future, there was a chance that they would have to stay in World Academy.

And right now, a lot of Fourth Year Students were entering the Great Forest.

"I know but I need to win this," Raelyn said.

And it was true that she needed this win even more now.

Whiteheart\'s name was being muddled with harsh comments from the citizens and Raelyn didn\'t wanted to lose her position now.

Her winning would establish her position as the Student Council and also the current tradition of having only one Student President, not a whole Council of Seven, which was the agenda that Leonard Tarvian was pushing.

Nobody knew why Leonard was so adamant on creating this new rule and changing the whole Student Council because he would in Fourth Year soon.

But this also made some First Year and especially Second Year support the Blood Faction.

As the World Academy, was all about ranks but being part of the Student Council gave others a lot of power over other students.

The power of student council was so much that even someone like Alyssa was being avoided due to the fact she was inside the Student Council.

Many students simply ignored or avoided messing with her due to the fact that she had the authority and freedom that came with being in the Student Council.

Tyrone right now was looking at the news because of the whole issue with Zephyr also affected him as Martell family was heavily invested in weapon trade.

And he frowned as he read articles of multiple dungeon breakouts happening and the rate wasn\'t something that was like it had been till now.

Dungeons appeared and that was how new resources were collected.

Just as Asher had told Tom, when the balance shifted with the death of the SSS Rank Monsters, it would be compensated in some way or another.

He had seen it himself in his previous life, but with him making 4 SSS Rank Monsters dead, it was obvious what was going to happen now.

The dungeon were appearing, most of them were blue with some yellow and a very few reports of Red Gate appearing.

The news that Tyrone was getting came from a private channel that was only available to those connected with the Hunter News system and mostly high ranking hunters or those with connection had access to this channel.

And this same issue was being raised in the multiple Guilds right now.

"We don\'t have enough people to handle this area!" A man shouted.

"So what? Are you telling me to give the rights to some other goddamn guild!!?" Another shouted.

Everything was a mess.

"Just give it to World Association for a time being," Another man said.

"We lose so much money if we did so!!" The first man tried to convince them.

"Why don\'t we hire some hunters," Another man suggested.

"We can have the profit, while spending some of that on hiring those guys," He added.

"But what about the team synergy, we can\'t send those guys with someone they don\'t trust," Another man added.

"Stop it," The one in charge intervened.

If this discussion went like this, no one would reach any conclusion.

"Let\'s give up those extra dungeons to World Association for the first two months," He decided.

"We don\'t know anything about those dungeons and we can buy the information from the team sent by the World Association anyways," He said.

"Sounds good to me," A middle aged man said.

Similar discussions were being held in multiple Guilds, but only the Top Guilds were unaffected by this whole issue.
