Cloud Formation? Everyone looked at each other and they couldn't help but think.
'Since when our guild has such a heaven defying cloud formation?'
Karen mood was terrible, her nose was purple and one could see blood coming out of it. Of course, she noticed that and took a low level healing pill, even though the pill was a little expensive for her, as a woman, she couldn't possibly walk around like that.
Not long after, a middle aged woman appeared in the hall, when she looked at the flood, her face contorted quite a bit, she looked at Karen who was responsible for the training rooms and only saw her pointing at a certain guy.
The middle aged woman then sent a Divine Sense message to Karen and left, Karen took a deep breath and approached Krune who was still spacing out.
"Would you mind to follow me, sir?"
Krune came back to himself and just nodded, he couldn't possibly simply leave after what he had done.
After arriving at a private room, the middle aged woman was already there, she was none other than the supervisor of the Formations Guild, Lola Javes, different from the Alchemist Guild and Mercenary Guild of Kaley City who had supervisors at the Four Stars Level, Lola herself was a Five Stars Formations Masters, she could have applied to another bigger guild branch if she wanted, but she liked Kaley City, so she remained.
She looked at Krune, because of the flood, Krune's hat that he liked to use to hide his rainbow hair was long gone to who knows where, and so Lola was able to recognize him straight away.
"Does your Mercenary Guild have something against my Formations Guild?"
She couldn't care less if Krune was a genius or not, she loves very much the guild that she is in charge of, anyone who tries to purposely cause havoc here will be dealt without mercy!
Krune immediately shook his head vigorously, even he didn't expect for something like that to happen.
"Speak, how did it turn out like that? Also, don't think that you can scape without paying for the damage, otherwise I will bring a war to your Mercenary Guild door steps."
Those were the worlds that Krune was most afraid of, paying for the damage!
"Well, it went like this…"
Krune explained the situation and Lola was amazed after he finished talking.
"Are you telling me that with a simple cloud formation you created that flood? Do you take me for a fool? You would need to reach a Three Stars levels, maybe even Four to get that power of this formation, not to mention that you would need at least some Rank Four Spirit Stones on top of that."
Krune looked at her surprised
"I don't know if my formation was at the Three Stars level, but I did use Rank Four High Quality Spirit Stones."
Lola's mouth twitched, who the hell would waste Rank Four Spirit Stones on a cloud formation? And it was High Quality at that, but she reminded herself that Krune is a genius of element control, so she decided to test his words first.
"I will bring you to another training room where you will set up the same formation again, if your formation doesn't reach the Three Stars level, your guild will have to answer for your acts."
Krune nodded and followed her, after taking out a few more materials, he started to build the cloud formation again, he used his soul technique and meridians to pin point the locations for the water element, after thirty some minutes, he was done, Lola looked at the formation and had to admit, it really reached the Three Stars level, she was impressed that Krune was able to create this formation with such low level materials.
"Hmph! At least you were not lying, I will keep my word and won't bother your Mercenary Guild, but you will still have to pay for the damage, you have no problem with that, right?"
Krune felt like crying but didn't refuse, even if he didn't want to damage the guild, it doesn't change the fact he was the one who did it, he isn't shameless enough like Yusa to renege his doing.
Lola called Karen and some other employees of the guild and asked them to do a check out of how much it would cost to repair everything, not long after, they came back with the numbers.
"After calculating all the electronic and spiritual equipment destroyed by the flood, the total price was 337 Rank Three Middle Quality spirit stones, considering the time to replace everything and the work of the formations masters to rebuild the hall formations, it went up to 125 Rank Four Low Quality Spirit stones."
Krune let out a sigh of relief, only now he remembered that Rank Four Spirit Stones are very valuable, so with the amount he has at moment it became a small issue to pay it over.
Lola checked every spirit stone and then nodded, after that she entered the next topic.
"Alright, although I still don't like you, the damage issue is over with, I checked the system and found out that you aren't a formation master yet, are you here to become one?"
Krune immediately nodded, he needs access to the information of Teleport Formations after all.
"Very well, go to the register office and give them the necessary information, your badge will be delivered soon after."
Krune was taken aback, that simple?
"Errrr, what about the test?"
Lola looked at Krune as if she was looking at an idiot.
"You already can use low level materials to set up a Three Stars Formation, and it is even a simple Cloud Formation on top of that, the test is there for those who don't know if they have reached the level of One Star Formations Master yet, do you really think you can't build a One Star Formation?"
Krune had to admit that he made an extremely idiotic question, not to mention that this guild branch supervisor wants him to leave her guild as soon as possible, she obviously couldn't stand his face.
Krune wasn't sad though, he can get the information for the Short Distance teleportation formation and leave straight away before anything else happens, although he lost some spirit stones the end result was exactly what he wanted.
---
Krune was once again waiting for his badge and once again it started to take forever for them to give it to him, he felt like he was seeing a déjà vu.
'I don't like this pattern.'
Back at Lola's office, she was discussing with the Formations Guild Headquarters about Krune situation.
"He broke my guild hall, there is no way I'm giving him a Four Stars Badge, if you want, come here and give it yourselves, I was about to give him a One Star and you can consider it as me being very considerate already. No wait, first of all, how did you even find about it?"
The person on the other side of the line was the supervisor of the reviews office of the Formations Headquarters, Gimble Luos.
"The Mercenary Guild had just informed the other guilds that they changed their decision of having Krune teaching elements control to their contestants, he is now directly participating in the Mercenary Selection and then the Martial Gathering, from what we could find, the Mercenary Guild is putting a lot of effort to raise him, so the other powers are keeping a close look."
"When his name appeared in the Formations Guild system, we immediately recovered the training room video and saw he building up that almost Four Stars Cloud Formation with simple and ordinary materials, he is definitely at the level of a Four Stars Formations Master, doesn't matter how much you dislike him, you can't deny his talent!"
Lola's face was dark, it's not that she doesn't like Krune, she simply doesn't like geniuses in general, she herself was considered a genius in formation already, but only her knows the truth, her talent could only be considered average, it was through a gigantic amount of effort that she got where she is today, that coupled with the fact that he destroyed her guild hall made her first impression of him be a very bad one.
Gimble knows her, they studied under the same master in the past, that's why he was the one who was calling about this issue, otherwise, the higher ups would have intervened already.
"Okay, I will help you apply for the extra founding you had been hopping for since the start of the year, with this we are even, how about that?"
Lola's face immediately improved.
"Are you serious?"
"I am, but I can only help put some good words for you, the rest will still depend on yourself, consider this as your senior brother favor."
Lola pondered a bit, that founding would help she increase the Formation Guild size, Kaley City, as one of the cities that separate the country from one of the danger zones, received a lot of cultivators year round, her guild was already having some problems to cope with the flow of cultivators requesting for services at her guild.
"Very well, I will take your offer, but don't expect me treating him like some gem or anything like that, you know me."
"Great! Then I will pass the orders to accept Krune's ability review, this might help us to build some good relationship with the mercenary guild too."
Gimble finished the call and not long after, the approval for passing over a Four Stars Formations Master badge arrived, Lola stood up and went to the room where Krune was waiting, after arriving there, she simply tossed the badge over to him.
"The guild decided to make you a Four Stars Formations Master, I was against it but they have already made their mind, so you can use it from now on."
Krune smiled bitter, it was just as he thought.
"Errr, you aren't planning of doing any propaganda over this or anything like that, right?"
Lola's mouth twitched.
"Propaganda your head! If it depended on me, you would receive a single start badge and nothing more, the Formations Guild Headquarters only want to build some relationship with your Mercenary Guild, seems like it has something to do with the fact you are taking part of the Mercenary Selection and Martial Gathering, but I couldn't care less, as long as you don't destroy my guild again, we are good with each other."
Lola looked at Krune's face and surprisingly, he didn't look sad at all, in fact, it looked like he was about to cry out of happiness.
And she was right, she instantly became the guild branch supervisor that Krune loved the most! It was the second time in his life that Krune felt that a human female looked beautiful.
"Thank you, supervisor Lola, I will make sure to not break anything here anymore, I will conduct all my own practicing at my own place from now on."
Lola didn't understand why he looked so happy but she didn't care either, she simply nodded and left.
Krune immediately accessed the information available for Four Stars Formations Masters and found out the two Formations he wanted the most, the Spirit Gathering Formation and the Short Distance Teleport Formation.
'The Spirit Gathering Formation is quite simple, but the Short Distance Teleport Formation is totally different, it needs a lot of materials as well, not to mention that I need to practice it, it will cost me quite a few Spirit Stones.'
But Krune didn't mind, he can now request some help in resources from the Mercenary Guild, since they have announced that they will support him fully, it would be idiotic from his part if he didn't use this opportunity properly.
Krune isn't afraid that they will try to find out where he is building those formations, they are partners now and the Mercenary Guild put a lot of importance on his Rainbow Core, the last thing they want is to scare Krune away, any secret that he might have can't compare with the resources that they will receive if Krune joins the Divine Path Sect.
Krune was just about to leave the Formations Guild when he remembered one thing, he went to the guild hall again and soon found Karen repairing a Formation.
"Hi there."
Karen noticed who came and her mood turned solemn again.
"Errr, sorry for what happened with the door."
Krune then took two healing pills that he made and passed over to her.
"These are Three Stars Healing Pills that I made, it should heal the injury in your nose completely, in fact, it could even save your life as long as the injury isn't too serious, and I hope you can accept it."
Krune might have low EQ, but he has at least learned that human females put a lot of importance on their appearance, especially their faces, thus, the healing pills.
Karen was taken aback with that, before she could even answer, Krune had already put the pills on her hand and left straight away, he has a lot to do after all and couldn't wait forever.
Karen looked at those pills and was at loss of what to do, three star pills are worth a fortune for someone like her, she didn't dare using one of them to heal an injury as simple as the one in her nose, she decided to keep one with herself for an emergency and sell the another one later, she looked at the direction that Krune left and couldn't help but think that Krune's face wasn't so bad to look at anymore.
Krune immediately went to the Mercenary Guild in Kaley City and requested the materials he needed, Lu Ganan didn't say or ask anything and just provided the materials, those materials might be a lot for Krune to bank alone, but for the Mercenary Guild it wasn't much at all.
Krune then returned to his house and started to practice setting up the short distance teleportation formation, he will need some time to understand it completely, teleportation formations are dangerous, if they go wrong, the space power might turn you to pieces, there could be no mistaking in its set up.

At the same time in another side of the city, Yusa was leaving the Runestone Formations guild, in her hands she had a Two Stars Runestone Formations Master, as mentioned before, Runestone Formations are very popular for being able to be brought around, they could more or less be said to be a branch of the Formations Guild, the difference is that Runestone Formations have limited time of use while normal formations can stay in place for years.
Yusa could have got a Three Stars Badge, but their group had decided that she should hide the fact that she can use more than one element at the same time for the time being, so she was only able to make one element Two Stars Runestone Formations, Yusa looked at the badge on her hand, but her face showed that her mind was somewhere else.
'Leave or not leave, the old saying says that it's better to be a head of a chicken than the tail of a dragon, but will I really become just the tail if I leave? At the same time, will I really become the head if I stay?'
She then remembered her conversation with Ao.
'I will try my luck at the Mercenary Selection first, depending of the results I will decide what to do.'
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Cloud Formation? Everyone looked at each other and they couldn't help but think.
'Since when our guild has such a heaven defying cloud formation?'
Karen mood was terrible, her nose was purple and one could see blood coming out of it. Of course, she noticed that and took a low level healing pill, even though the pill was a little expensive for her, as a woman, she couldn't possibly walk around like that.
Not long after, a middle aged woman appeared in the hall, when she looked at the flood, her face contorted quite a bit, she looked at Karen who was responsible for the training rooms and only saw her pointing at a certain guy.

No wait, first of all, how did you even find about it?" The person on the other side of the line was the supervisor of the reviews office of the Formations Headquarters, Gimble Luos. "The Mercenary Guild had just informed the other guilds that they changed their decision of having Krune teaching elements control to their contestants, he is now directly participating in the Mercenary Selection and then the Martial Gathering, from what we could find, the Mercenary Guild is putting a lot of effort to raise him, so the other powers are keeping a close look." "When his name appeared in the Formations Guild system, we immediately recovered the training room video and saw he building up that almost Four Stars Cloud Formation with simple and ordinary materials, he is definitely at the level of a Four Stars Formations Master, doesn't matter how much you dislike him, you can't deny his talent!" Lola's face was dark, it's not that she doesn't like Krune, she simply doesn't like geniuses in general, she herself was considered a genius in formation already, but only her knows the truth, her talent could only be considered average, it was through a gigantic amount of effort that she got where she is today, that coupled with the fact that he destroyed her guild hall made her first impression of him be a very bad one. Gimble knows her, they studied under the same master in the past, that's why he was the one who was calling about this issue, otherwise, the higher ups would have intervened already. "Okay, I will help you apply for the extra founding you had been hopping for since the start of the year, with this we are even, how about that?" Lola's face immediately improved. "Are you serious?" "I am, but I can only help put some good words for you, the rest will still depend on yourself, consider this as your senior brother favor." Lola pondered a bit, that founding would help she increase the Formation Guild size, Kaley City, as one of the cities that separate the country from one of the danger zones, received a lot of cultivators year round, her guild was already having some problems to cope with the flow of cultivators requesting for services at her guild. "Very well, I will take your offer, but don't expect me treating him like some gem or anything like that, you know me." "Great! Then I will pass the orders to accept Krune's ability review, this might help us to build some good relationship with the mercenary guild too." Gimble finished the call and not long after, the approval for passing over a Four Stars Formations Master badge arrived, Lola stood up and went to the room where Krune was waiting, after arriving there, she simply tossed the badge over to him. "The guild decided to make you a Four Stars Formations Master, I was against it but they have already made their mind, so you can use it from now on." Krune smiled bitter, it was just as he thought. "Errr, you aren't planning of doing any propaganda over this or anything like that, right?" Lola's mouth twitched. "Propaganda your head! If it depended on me, you would receive a single start badge and nothing more, the Formations Guild Headquarters only want to build some relationship with your Mercenary Guild, seems like it has something to do with the fact you are taking part of the Mercenary Selection and Martial Gathering, but I couldn't care less, as long as you don't destroy my guild again, we are good with each other." Lola looked at Krune's face and surprisingly, he didn't look sad at all, in fact, it looked like he was about to cry out of happiness. And she was right, she instantly became the guild branch supervisor that Krune loved the most! It was the second time in his life that Krune felt that a human female looked beautiful. "Thank you, supervisor Lola, I will make sure to not break anything here anymore, I will conduct all my own practicing at my own place from now on." Lola didn't understand why he looked so happy but she didn't care either, she simply nodded and left. Krune immediately accessed the information available for Four Stars Formations Masters and found out the two Formations he wanted the most, the Spirit Gathering Formation and the Short Distance Teleport Formation. 'The Spirit Gathering Formation is quite simple, but the Short Distance Teleport Formation is totally different, it needs a lot of materials as well, not to mention that I need to practice it, it will cost me quite a few Spirit Stones.' But Krune didn't mind, he can now request some help in resources from the Mercenary Guild, since they have announced that they will support him fully, it would be idiotic from his part if he didn't use this opportunity properly. Krune isn't afraid that they will try to find out where he is building those formations, they are partners now and the Mercenary Guild put a lot of importance on his Rainbow Core, the last thing they want is to scare Krune away, any secret that he might have can't compare with the resources that they will receive if Krune joins the Divine Path Sect. Krune was just about to leave the Formations Guild when he remembered one thing, he went to the guild hall again and soon found Karen repairing a Formation. "Hi there." Karen noticed who came and her mood turned solemn again. "Errr, sorry for what happened with the door." Krune then took two healing pills that he made and passed over to her. "These are Three Stars Healing Pills that I made, it should heal the injury in your nose completely, in fact, it could even save your life as long as the injury isn't too serious, and I hope you can accept it." Krune might have low EQ, but he has at least learned that human females put a lot of importance on their appearance, especially their faces, thus, the healing pills. Karen was taken aback with that, before she could even answer, Krune had already put the pills on her hand and left straight away, he has a lot to do after all and couldn't wait forever. Karen looked at those pills and was at loss of what to do, three star pills are worth a fortune for someone like her, she didn't dare using one of them to heal an injury as simple as the one in her nose, she decided to keep one with herself for an emergency and sell the another one later, she looked at the direction that Krune left and couldn't help but think that Krune's face wasn't so bad to look at anymore. Krune immediately went to the Mercenary Guild in Kaley City and requested the materials he needed, Lu Ganan didn't say or ask anything and just provided the materials, those materials might be a lot for Krune to bank alone, but for the Mercenary Guild it wasn't much at all. Krune then returned to his house and started to practice setting up the short distance teleportation formation, he will need some time to understand it completely, teleportation formations are dangerous, if they go wrong, the space power might turn you to pieces, there could be no mistaking in its set up. --- At the same time in another side of the city, Yusa was leaving the Runestone Formations guild, in her hands she had a Two Stars Runestone Formations Master, as mentioned before, Runestone Formations are very popular for being able to be brought around, they could more or less be said to be a branch of the Formations Guild, the difference is that Runestone Formations have limited time of use while normal formations can stay in place for years. Yusa could have got a Three Stars Badge, but their group had decided that she should hide the fact that she can use more than one element at the same time for the time being, so she was only able to make one element Two Stars Runestone Formations, Yusa looked at the badge on her hand, but her face showed that her mind was somewhere else. 'Leave or not leave, the old saying says that it's better to be a head of a chicken than the tail of a dragon, but will I really become just the tail if I leave? At the same time, will I really become the head if I stay?' She then remembered her conversation with Ao. 'I will try my luck at the Mercenary Selection first, depending of the results I will decide what to do.'
