So, the challenging hunts of the past two years had actually been quite boring for Lianye.
Just imagine it: if you were transported to another world, or ancient times like the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, or Qing dynasties, simply adapting to so many environments disconnected from the modern world would already be incredibly difficult.
I'll die without a phone to play with, I'll die without Wi-Fi, I'll die without Shinki to play with, I'll die without "Giligili Love" to listen to, and I'll also die without "Niconiconi~."
Ahem, back to the point. After completing the second-stage hunter mission and receiving the third-stage mission, Lianye planned to enter Wall of Rose and join Eren and the others as a member of the 104th Training Corps.
After all, continuing to hunt ordinary hunters could no longer add any glory to the Bone Tooth Necklace. It would be better to set his sights on Eren Yeager, who currently had the greatest connection to the special Titans.
Furthermore, joining the Training Corps and learning combat techniques beyond the abilities of the Pride Stalker would also prepare him for the foreseeable final battle against his archenemy, Kha'Zix.
In terms of one-on-one strength and potential for growth, the Pride Stalker and the Void Predator were nearly equal, neither superior to the other.
Otherwise, they would not have become archenemies locked in a cycle of love and hate, fighting from the wastelands of Valoran to the central War College, and still failing to determine a victor even in Summoner's Rift.
If he focused solely on developing the Hero Ability of the Pride Stalker, it would be difficult for Lianye to guarantee that he could take Kha'Zix's Head and prove to the world that he was the ultimate hunter.
But compared to a single hero, Lianye's greatest advantage as a Summoner was that he could master the Hero Abilities of multiple heroes, along with other combat techniques, Summoner Spells, and all sorts of special abilities.
If possible, Lianye absolutely would not hesitate to exchange for another Hero Ability just to bully Kha'Zix.
However, he currently only had the 300 + 1000 Hero Points earned from completing the first and second-stage missions. That was still quite far from the 6300 Hero Points needed to exchange for a complete Hero Ability. Therefore, it was more reliable to learn how to use ODM Gear in the Training Corps while exploring the possibility of completing the third-stage hunter mission.
"Behold the true Leap of Faith~~~"
Under cover of night, Lianye leaped into Wall of Rose.
End of chapter.
He Has Returned
Two years passed in the blink of an eye.
Mikasa and Eren had also entered their youth. Having shed their childishness, they looked full of spirit.
The two of them, along with Armin, joined the 104th Training Corps with their own convictions in their hearts.
"Two years have already passed..."
Brushing aside the black strands of hair hanging by her forehead, Mikasa fell into thought. However, she had always been the calm and quiet type, so neither Eren nor Armin noticed anything unusual on her face.
Over the past two years, many indescribably painful things had happened to them as well.
Armin's only grandfather had taken part in the suicidal counterattack against the Titans, and there had been no news of him ever since. As for Eren's father, after reuniting with Eren and Eren's mother, he took Eren away one day. After a single night, he and Carla vanished without a trace, leaving behind only the unconscious Eren.
None of these events had affected Mikasa the most, but that was only because she had already lost everything long ago. There was nothing precious left for her to lose.
Mikasa could not truly empathize with Eren and Armin's despair or their hatred toward the Titans, but her situation was not much different from theirs. In fact, she had lost everything even earlier.
So, still like a calm guardian watching over the two of them, Mikasa decided to join the Training Corps with Eren and Armin.
It was almost the same scene as always—except that they were no longer children.
"Yo~~~"
Accompanied by a familiar greeting, a hand patted her shoulder.
Mikasa came back to her senses. The only people she knew and could speak calmly with were Eren and Armin, who stood ahead of her in the line. Other than them, she had no one she could call close.
