Moon was really curious about what new abilities, physical adaptations, or capabilities Mirage would possess after consuming Supre creature essence and undergoing this extended transformation period.
The anticipation was almost as motivating as his own advancent goals.
But for now, he had to continue working with the Direhorse while maintaining his aggressive hunting schedule. Every day of delay brought him closer to the tournant deadline, and he couldn't afford to reduce his pace simply because his preferred mount was unavailable.

[Kill Fifty level 25 creatures classified at S-Rank power level alone: 20/50]
His progress had been disappointingly slower than he had anticipated. Over seven days of hunting, Moon had managed to eliminate only six additional S-rank creatures—far below the pace he needed to et his deadline.
With three weeks remaining until the tournant began, Moon required an average of ten S-rank kills per week to complete his evolution requirents on ti. More concerning still, he had yet to discover any reliable information about locating Supre-Rank creatures, which remained essential for his ultimate advancent tasks.
During that challenging week, Moon had managed to acquire one new skill from a wind mage he'd encountered during a brief stop at one of the bases he'd visited for skill copying opportunities.
The ability was useful despite being limited by its rank and restrictions:
[Air Step]
[Order: First]
[Rank: Uncommon]
[Details: You can temporarily solidify air particles around you for support. 50% movent speed when airborne. Effect duration: 10 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute between uses.]
The skill allowed him to create solid platforms of air beneath his feet using his wind elent, effectively enabling brief periods of aerial movent. His speed increased significantly during airborne phases, and after achieving mastery, it proved excellent for unexpected attacks that required a flexible level of evasion or closing distance against fast opponents attempting to flee.
A large base finally erged in Moon's vision, still several kiloters away across the terrain.
Moon was planning to stop at the facility before continuing to his next hunting destination. His objectives were straightforward: copy another useful class to experint with during his upcoming journey, return to Earth briefly to check for important communications, and conduct his regular checkup etings with Yara and Selene.
Ti managent was becoming critical. The base grew larger as Moon urged his tired Direhorse forward, eager to complete his business quickly and return to the serious work of hunting.
Every day brought him closer to either achieving his goals or missing the opportunity entirely.
The pressure was mounting, but Moon remained focused on the steps he could control rather than dwelling on factors beyond his influence.

Back on earth, Moon went through another wave of selling the loot he had gathered the past week which earned him around twenty million, shooting his net-worth to 70 Million Dollars.
Moon looked at the number on his badge with a soft smile on his face. Never did he think that he would amass such wealth in his lifeti, especially as a orphan that had to work regular jobs to make ends et as his inheritance slowly dwindled down.
With so much money in his bank account, Moon was starting to feel more confident about his preparation for his advancent when it occurred. He would be able to buy good equipnt, and a Fair-Rank Spirit Art to get by with until he had the opportunity to participate in the tournant, and possibly win the Sacred Rank Spirit Art.
On his way ho, Moon passed by the Awakeners Association.
"I should update my rank…I heard that the monthly allowance reaches $100,000." Moon muttered, as he walked towards the large doors that awakeners of various ranks and ages entered and exited from.
Arriving at the front reception, the woman seated behind the desk was looking at her computer lazily as Moon approached.
"Hey, I'm here to update my ranking."
The woman nodded her head lazily, her eyes till on the computer, "Sure, just tell your na and what rank you are advancing to."
"Moon Outlaw. S-Rank."
As if a bomb had dropped on her head, the woman's entire body stopped moving, her hands no longer clicking on the keyboard.
Her eyes slowly moved up, and when they arrived at Moon she imdiately stood up at attention. "You are Moon Outlaw. It's an honor to et you, sir!"
Moon's brows rose for a mont, he didn't expect the woman to be so jumpy when hearing his na. The hype around him had died down in the past week, after the netizens began to make up their own theory and various other things about what happened in the gate.
With the lack of information about what truly transpired inside, most began to believe that Moon had simply been the fortunate by-product of his team's sacrifice to clear the gate.
Naturally, this was a propaganda that was direct towards Moon by either enemies of his, or enemies of the Glassy Group—that wanted to undermine his success to lower his influence on the upcoming generation of Awakeners.
Moon didn't particularly care about their thoughts, but it was still interesting to see the woman acting that way.
"Sir, unfortunately, I don't have enough power to complete your request. I will call the manager to complete it, is that alright?" She said, rubbing her hands in front of her nervously.
Moon remained silent for a mont. 'The manager of this branch is Isabelle, I guess that's fine.'
Isabelle was the woman that he had seen coming out of the shower when he first returned from the first Hidden Realm he had entered. She had taken his apartnt at that ti, and a massive misunderstanding occurred between them. Thankfully, it was resolved the next day, and they had a decent relationship.
"Sure."
