Primordial Dimensions

After everyone had recuperated enough to be able to stand up and walk, the expedition team packed up and departed from the elemental crystal's third floor.

They could also venture deeper, but given their current circumstances, it would take a lot of effort to defeat one of the stronger elemental subterra centipedes, which nobody wanted to challenge.

Having learned a harsh lesson of how quickly one could die, the students wanted to reach home as soon as possible because they had already acquired more than enough wealth to enter the peak Expert stage with a mana purity of 60%. It was not unlikely for them to have enough funds to reach an even higher rank as long as they were able to solve the corresponding mission.

As such, Shane also didn't really feel excessively guilty to have 'accidentally' received centipede corpses from everyone.

In his opinion, they had obtained more than enough from him and shouldn't complain about such a minor thing and Shane was glad that his act had been successful.

If he were to sell everything right off the bat, he would be able to procure a huge mass of gold coins but before that would happen, Shane wanted to search for the centipede corpses' exact price as they were strong variants.

Normally they should have never existed inside an elemental crystal cave and they should have found mortal grade crystals at most, however, nobody knew how exactly the cave looked in the lowest parts.

Maybe there were even Tier-1 or Tier-2 crystals that Shane knew nothing of, which was exactly what he had imagined.

With this estimation, Shane couldn't help but think that he would definitely conquer the whole hidden elemental crystal cave in the future, once he became strong enough to do so, which would however take a long time and even longer, considering all the required preparations.

Until they left the elemental crystal cave, nothing special happened as the first sunray shined through the cavern entrance on the exhausted expedition group.

After they arrived at the entrance and finally left the whole cave behind, Aisha summoned her horned holy radiant highland horse before she ordered her Valkyries to summon the radiant highland horses.

Once they were summoned, Aisha told the students to sit behind Valkyrie to shorten their trip towards the shelter because nobody was in a condition to do anything except following Aisha's orders.

Following their expedition leader's instructions, everyone sat behind a Valkyrie on their radiant highland horses as they departed home without caring about the small groups of beasts that they passed on their way.

The horses were unable to use their full speed because they rode through the forest.

Even so, it took still less than two hours before they arrived at the shelter where the guards eyed them weirdly.

It was already rare enough to see such large groups elsewhere but even more so inside the radiant mountain ring dimension that was labeled as extremely dangerous for large groups to enter because of the high combat prowess of larger beast hordes one might not avoid with a big group.

The guards were astonished to find such a large group at the entrance.

They eyed the new arrivals curiously and were astonished to see the number of people as well as the majestic horses in front of them when they finally perceived who they had encountered.

Stuttering, the guards tried to calm down to follow the standardized rules to allow entry in a shelter which everyone had to follow.

It was plainly visible that they were trying hard to control themselves, which Aisha thanked with a faint nod, once they were allowed to enter.

Shane who sat behind Frer on the radiant highland horse was however in his own world as he utilized the system's package system to send the Elus merchant the whole batch of elemental crystals at once, without the need to send a small package of 200 items more than twenty thousand times.

He was thankful for this and could only sigh in relief when he found this function, otherwise, he might have to spend several days only to send every single package to the Elus merchant, which would be counter-effective.

He only separated his package into two sections, one being his own crystals and the other one belonging to the Valkyries and students.

The first would tell him his own wealth and the latter large package would hopefully turn out as a large mountain of gold for him and the others, even if it was not as necessary as before when he had been desperate for money.

Now that he was sure to receive several thousand gold coins as the worst possible outcome from the centipede carcasses alone, Shane was more relaxed than before which caused him to release a calming aura, which Frer noticed as she turned around to look at him in confusion.

Since she had met Shane, everything seemed unclear, more difficult than before and confusing.

It was as if the youth behind her was pursued by luck and misfortune at the same time because not only had she seen him at the double beast tide in the Radiant mountain ring shelter, but the elemental crystal cave accident was also extremely weird, considering that the shelter was not far away from it.

Sighing deeply, she couldn't help but think that Shane was both mysterious and dangerous at the same time which might lead to a disastrous situation.

However, Frer knew that Shane was a good youth who wouldn't needlessly start a massacre which she felt from his aura, that was now calmer and filled with freedom.

Before anything else, Aisha ensured that everyone was fine before she announced that the expedition had come to an end.

This was not really surprising and instead, the opposite case was more surprising as Aisha added that she will report everything to the Principal.

Hearing this, Shane's calm aura was disrupted, and his eyes widened in surprise.

'She'll report everything to Aunt Kia??'

The expedition team was disbanded, and everyone was now free to do whatever they wanted to, but it was quite obvious that nobody wanted to venture outside the shelter because they had witnessed more than enough action in the last few days and most students decided to go back to the Shirai academy as they followed Aisha and the Valkyries.

Shane also rushed after the Valkyries or rather Aisha, as he fell in steps beside her, nervously saying

"I think it would be better if I also accompany you to meet the principal."

Seeing this, Aisha could only lift her eyebrow in curiosity but she didn't think of rejecting his proposal because she was too exhausted to even dissolve the expedition team properly.

"Alright, maybe, it would be better for someone else to talk...I can't even walk properly!"
