At first glance, Fulan imdiately took a liking to Gale Swordsman, because it suited her perfectly.
Once she chose to exchange for this profession, the Association would provide a Breathing thod that enhanced the wind elent, along with these two techniques.
As for the remaining two conditions, they were practically gifts to Fulan. Ever since arriving in this other world, she had never worn armor, and the number of first-tier enemies she had defeated was already more than one. Naturally, she already satisfied that requirent.
As for wind elental affinity, when Fulan had learned the Swift Wind Breathing thod, she had also gained a trait along with it: wind elental affinity.
In fact, the Swift Wind Breathing thod itself already possessed the characteristic of strengthening the wind elent, so she did not even need to train another Breathing thod.
Moreover, she already had more than 8,000 proficiency in the Swift Wind Breathing thod. It would not be long before it reached the Extraordinary rank.
In other words, Fulan had effectively already fulfilled the conditions for this profession. As long as she learned these two combat techniques, she would obtain it.
Then there was Sunfla Knight. The mont Fulan saw that it was a two-star profession, she imdiately decided to exchange for it as well.
She could not understand why the Association had placed a second-tier profession in the first-tier exchange list, but that did not stop her from redeeming it.
The Association was actually giving away an entire swordsmanship set for this profession. A profession capable of reaching the second tier was worth exchanging for even if only for research.
“I want these two professions.”
Fulan pointed at the two she had chosen.
The receptionist raised an eyebrow when she saw them and said,
“Esteed mage, you possess permission for first-tier magical creature hunts, so you may exchange for them. The total is 40 gold—10 gold for Gale Swordsman and 30 gold for Sunfla Knight.”
The receptionist was not surprised that Fulan wanted Sunfla Knight, but Gale Swordsman did surprise her sowhat.
Although the professions offered by the Adventurers’ Association were notoriously troubleso and almost all difficult to attain, such that few people actually intended to advance through them, the Association also provided the corresponding techniques for those professions.
Because of that, many people ca to exchange for them solely for the techniques.
Take Sunfla Knight, for example. Although the receptionist had never heard of anyone successfully advancing into it, its swordsmanship set was extrely powerful, and quite a few first-tier adventurers had co specifically to redeem it.
In the four years since she had taken this job, more than twenty people had exchanged for profession advancent thods, and fourteen of them had chosen Sunfla Knight.
That was precisely because its techniques were powerful, even among first-tier standards.
Because of this, the Association had already raised the price of this profession twice.
As for Gale Swordsman, however, no one had shown any interest in it. This was the first ti the receptionist had ever seen soone redeem it.
Its techniques were extrely difficult to learn, and it also forbade the use of heavy armor. That made it very unpopular among adventurer groups, who valued their lives greatly.
On top of that, it required wind elental affinity, which was simply asking too much. Whether one had an affinity for a particular elent was sothing one was born with, and the vast majority of adventurers had none.
If soone did possess such an affinity, they would have been selected for knight training long ago. There would be no need for them to work in the “promising” profession of adventurer.
“Please wait a mont, esteed mage. The copying of these techniques has to go through a safety procedure.”
A transaction worth dozens of gold coins was not sothing a receptionist like her could handle casually, much less sothing as sensitive as selling techniques.
While the receptionist processed the paperwork, Fulan remained where she was and read through the advancent notes that the Association had left for those who exchanged for professions.
She did not bother looking at Gale Swordsman. Instead, she turned her attention to the notes for Sunfla Knight.
Disappointingly, the contents were entirely about how to practice the Sunfla Knight’s techniques and how to train them most efficiently. They did not ntion the part Fulan actually cared about at all.
Leaving aside the Trial of the Sun, there was not even any ntion of how to obtain a mount that was unafraid of fire.
As for the latter, Fulan already had an idea. Was it not simply a matter of finding a mount that could not be burned?
She could continue modifying her black horse. As long as she ca across suitable materials, she could...
The receptionist hurried back with a black box. After Fulan signed a sheet of paper, she heard a click from inside the box.
She knew that the lock on the Association’s protective container for critical information had been opened. She imdiately took the box and left the Association.

Inside a special smithing room, Fulan stared intently at the furnace.
This was a small room she had rented specifically to strengthen her weapons.
Since a special tal like Bluefla Steel could only be processed in a specialized furnace, she would otherwise have simply used a fire spell to work it.
Once she felt the temperature was right, she used Telekinetic Hand to take out the Bluefla Steel.
The mont the blue ingot left the furnace, blue flas burst from it. The intense heat nearly burned away the air in the room, making it difficult for Fulan to breathe.
But Fulan reacted quickly and threw her longsword directly onto the Bluefla Steel. The blade imdiately ignited as well, blazing with blue fire.
At the sa ti, the deep blue color on the ingot began to fade, gradually turning red.
anwhile, the blue flas on the sword grew fiercer, and the entire blade began to emit a blue glow.
“That should do it.”
Using Telekinetic Hand, Fulan pulled the longsword away at once and placed it into a specially prepared cooling liquid.
A deafening bang rang out, and the cooling liquid exploded upward. Fortunately, Fulan was standing far away.
When she drew the weapon out again, the originally silver-white blade had turned a cyan-blue color—the very color of Bluefla Steel.
This was one of Bluefla Steel’s properties: it replaced lower-grade tals. As a result, the runes on Fulan’s longsword were still glimring faintly, and she did not need to inscribe them all over again.
Imdiately afterward, Fulan swiftly drew another mass of liquid from the furnace and coated the longsword with it. This was Highland Silver, which possessed exceptionally fine rune properties.
The original cyan-blue color was covered by the Highland Silver and turned silver again.
At the sa ti, on the outer layer of the Highland Silver, there appeared the image of an elephant curled among mountains. After flashing once, it transford into the form of an angel.
This was the Elephant of the Mountains rune that Fulan had long ago inscribed onto the outer layer of the Highland Silver.
By making use of Highland Silver’s properties, she concealed that rune and allowed her 【Lord of Radiance】 to surface instead.
This way, she would not have to worry about any followers of the Elephant of the Mountains coming to trouble her.
As for the purple dagger at her waist, she had already replaced the blade section with a higher-quality athyst crystal, and she had also inscribed on it the images of frost and a bear.
