Aarav's POV

Last night, I was shocked to see the boss room opening message, but I went to sleep because I was tired. Today, every news channel starts with the same message.

Also, the IPA has been digging through documents to figure out what happened with the mystery monster. So, I decided to lay low for a while to continue living my independent life. Even the IPA will have no idea since I sneaked inside the tower last night to catch the guardian. 

'I guess it will all die down in a day or two. Finding the boss is much more important right now.'

"Aarav? Are you there?" Abhay knocked on my door.

"Yeah, coming." I replied and walked over to the door. On the other side was my friend holding a bag in his hands.

"What's that?" I asked.

"It contains the items that were dropped by the Guardian yesterday. You said to keep it so we could split it later. We also got some pretty good items from killing the slimes on the way back. One of the gaurdian drops is even a C-rank."

"Ah yes! the drops we got. You obviously studied them all night. Tell me how we are going to split the loot?" I had brightened his face and he was ready to answer.

"Okay, so I'm taking the arrowhead-shaped pendant and this skill page."

The skill was an E-Rank named 'locate'.

[Locate(E)]

[When active, the user can find hidden traps/monsters within some radius]

[skill radius - 10 m]

[Skill radius will increase as the skill rank increases]

It was a skill that was of no use to me, a sword user, but highly important for Abhay, an archer. Next, I checked the pendant.

Even though it was a valuable item, Abhay would benefit more from it than I would, so I gave him both of them.

"What are the thing I'm getting?" I asked

Yeah, yours are terrific too. You'll especially like this one." He pulled out a blue sword from the bag.
