"Hmph!" Alaric is seen, now a C Ranked Adventurer, in the dungeons deep in the forest near Asura. It has been about a month since he was let off from his old job with Pilphar, and he was saving his money for the time when he turned 12 to join the Water God Academy. Most of them are nobles and about the Intermediate Rank. Very little became Saint Rank, so he wanted to ensure he had a good resume for them to look over. To show that he is not only dedicated but a strong practitioner of the Water God. Maybe one day he can join Ghislaine as her Water King coworker.

"So... You're the boss, huh?" Alaric soon entered the boss' room. A large serpent of B Rank power.

"HISSS!!!" It hisses, as Alaric suddenly says,

"Come on..." He turned his blade,

"Attack me." He ordered, as the snake, filled with rage, immediately rushed to him.

"Hmph." Alaric however is seen stepping to the side, before striking at the snake, its skin only having a slightly deep cut.

"HISSSSSSSSSSSS!!!" It roars in rage, as Alaric grunts, leaping back as he remarks,

"Its scales are hard as hell... No wonder so many adventuers die to this thing..." Alaric comments, as suddenly it fires a barrage of venom, Alaric runs away from it, thinking,

"It isn't great at ranged combat that's for sure..." He comments, stopping as the snake stops as well, recovering from its attack.

"And there's the opening!"

He was tasked with killing the snake and giving its eyes to the guild. The eleven-year-old impressing even the oldest of adventuers, he might be catching the eyes of more than just them...

"Time for a counterattack!" Alaric rushes in, and when the beast recovers, it tries to attack with their tail, but...

"Hmph!" Alaric parried it, before slamming the blade on the tail, it was stuck,

"HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" It roars in even more pain, as Alaric quickly takes it out. But as he did...

"Oh no you don't!" The snake tried to flee, as Alariccaughts up, analyzing...

"Alright... So I need to strike its weak point... But where?" He wondered, lifting his eye patch, his eye reacted...

And everything slows down. The eye moves rapidly in real time in a split second, before it returns to normal.

"Got it. The jewel on its forehead is its more visible weak spot." Alaric states, as he jumps onto the snake, stopping it as its head lashes out, trying to strike at the lone wolf.

However...

"YOU'RE WIDE OPEN!" Alaric rushed in, before slamming the tip of his blade into the gem, the snake roared even louder, as Alaric did it again, hanging on as the beast violently shook around, trashing and turning, the main was too unbearable.

But...

"Crack..." It cracks... Before more hits shatter the jewel into a million pieces, the beast shrieking before it dies down, fading away as its body is left behind.

"Ruby Serpent down... I wonder if I can fight its relative someday..." Alaric comments on the name, the B Ranked Monsten, the eyes are sealed in a bag specialized and given to him, he comes back unharmed but his bag is filled with the snake's materials such as its venom sacks and some scales. The perfect skin, or what's little, was also stuffed into the bag.
