As for catching Joanna?

They understood what was important and what could wait, so they weren’t in a rush.

If the Space Alliance wouldn’t care about people with S–rank talents like them, then so be it–they would shine for the Evil Gods instead.

Meanwhile, at the Divine and Demonic Academy…

Joanna joined the freshman group chat and scrolled through everyone’s updates Most people were just talking about their plans for vacation.

At other schools, most students also started their break right after registration. A few overachievers reported early, figuring that more knowledge meant more safety later–in the Space Alliance, the amount of knowledge you had directly translated to how strong you were.

But most people took it easy during break.

Some had to use their time off to work part–time to save up for the resources they’d need during the school year.

The Space Alliance covered everyone’s tuition.

But moving up as a professional still took money.

Joanna didn’t need to worry about credits or cash right now.

Since the Crucible a month ago, she hadn’t taken a single day off. For just over two months, she’d kept moving forward nonstop.

“My first step is getting my talent to SSS–rank!”

Joanna already knew the exact way she wanted to upgrade her talent.

First, she needed to boost the first effect of her Affinity again. Earning one point of affinity aura for every monster she took down really mattered.

She also needed something that could keep her alive in battles.

Soon, a new talent formed.

“Your Affinity (SS–rank talent) has evolved into (SSS–rank talent).”

“Affinity (SSS–rank talent):”

“Effect 1: For each monster you kill, you gain one affinity aura.

“Effect 2: You can release affinity aura at will, making others feel drawn to you.

“Effect 3: Innate Bewitchment–if anyone tries to hurt you, your allure works automatically, and you become the last person they’d

ever want to harm.

Note 1: Affinity aura can’t be seen by others,

“Note 2: You’ve already unlocked Charm.’ Pairing it with affinity aura makes it even more powerful.

“Note 3: New skill unlocked: ‘Disaster Redirection‘ With your overwhelming charm, you can redirect an enemy’s attention away from you, or even make them turn against each other.

This gave Joanna a real safety net.

Even if she ended up somewhere dangerous, as long as she used her affinity–based skills, nobody would want to hurt her.

Who said affinity couldn’t be a weapon?

If Bloodmoon wanted to target her, she wasn’t going to sit back and wait–she was going to push back.

Joanna set out for the nearest metropolis to the Divine and Demonic Academy, a city that was almost a thousand times the size of Violetlight City.

The city’s name was Feran City,

Its city lord, Feran Clayton, was a Mythic–level pro and an Archmage. Right now, he was off fighting on the Abyss Battlefield.

Divine Demonic Planet had 126 mega cities, each ruled by a Mythic–level professional.

One divine spirit could keep thousands of planes in check, acting as a guardian for humanity.

Most ordinary people would never see a divine spirit up close, but they could visit the cities as tourists.

Joanna arrived in Feran and headed for the Bounty Hunter Guild.

The guild was officially run by the Space Alliance, and it was set up for posting bounties on criminals and hunting down dangerous targets from other species.

But you couldn’t post a bounty on just anyone–only people with criminal records, or it’d turn into a hit list.

Joanna went in and signed up as a bounty hunter.

“Registration complete. Please head to testing station number 12 to check your combat strength. Once you complete the testing, you can start to take missions according to your combat strength.”

Joanna followed the signs to testing station number 12.

There were thirty testing stations, all busy. Most of the people lined up looked to be around thirty years old, since the Space Alliance had declared that one had to be at least level 20 to be a bounty hunter.

Joanna waited her turn.

The man in front glanced at her, looked her up and down, then checked out Nighthowl and the others, grinning.

“Hey, kid, are you cosplaying as a Divine and Demonic Academy student? And who are your friends supposed to be? I like the hair color–you’re making me want to try it too.”

Joanna eyed his scalp–hugging buzz cut and just stayed quiet.

They’re not cosplaying.”

But now, after he spoke, more people started staring at her.

Even if she wasn’t showing off her affinity aura, there was still something about her people couldn’t ignore.

She really was beautiful.

People figured she must have been stunning if she needed a veil to cover her face. After all, just her eyes were striking.

“Hey, that badge isn’t right. Why’s it gold? Divine and Demonic Academy badges are alt.black, aren’t they?”

He kept talking.

Someone else in the crowd who knew the score laughed and said, “Shows what you know. That’s the top student badge. Kid, you’re even going for the ace look. Too bad it’s not quite convincing–black badges are everywhere, but only a few people ever get a gold one, and you have to be a top student to earn it.”
