( Meanwhile Max )
Max was carrying Miracle's levelling at the moment as every tier 2 monster that Max killed yielded unimaginable exp for Miracle who levelled up fast.
Only 4 days after being born, Miracle was already on the cusp of breaking through to tier1 and had started to learn Bipedal English language, being able to now communicate with Max and Sebastian in broken English.
Sebastian and Max had eased into their new life as disciples of Kremeth as their usual routine consisted of going out into the forest, avoiding any opponent that was even minutely stronger than themselves, overthinking every attack strategy they made and bring 4 suitable kills back to the hut for lunch.
The food that they got fed in the afternoon was the food that they managed to hunt as Kremeth would cook and season their kills with exotic herbs making any average dish feel amazing.
Not only did Kremeth began teaching the two the art of cooking, but he also taught them about the anatomy of every beast that they killed by opening up the insides as he explained how various beasts had evolved with different anatomies to be able to perform specific tasks.
Kremeth's knowledge in the department was admirable and his explaining style was unique, although it was knowledge on anatomy of specific monsters the way he taught it allowed Max and Sebastian to start analysing any beast that they came across and understand it's weak points based off its anatomy.
The results were noticeable for the duo as everytime the two went out to kill and did their overanalyzing session, their analysis of the opponents became more and more technical.
Instead of talking about ambushing the opponent and catching it off-guard they began theorising about it's weak spots and how to target them, an approach that saw them kill opponents much quicker than their previous line of thought.
In the evening, Kremeth made the two practise their existing skill set as he guided them towards mastering the various skills they possessed that were essential to their fighting style.
For Max, Kremeth made him focus on improving [ Brainwash ] skill
While for Sebastian he told him to improve his [ Thunder Slash ]
Kremeth worked the duo to the bone allowing them a meagre sleep of 2 hours before sending them out to hunt once more the next day.
Moulding disciples was not an easy task, but Kremeth was satisfied with his work till now.
Max and Sebastian did not pick fights with stronger opponents, they did not forget to incinerate dead opponents to ashes once they killed it and they trained hard in silence at night to improve their skills.
With things being such, Kremeth was confident in making consistent progress over the next 2.5 years.

( Rudra's POV )
Rudra stood alone before Thor and his 237 councilmen, undeterred and unfazed as he dared to stare Thor straight in his eyes.
" Shakuni you bastard, how dare you walk into our council, do you think the monarch is a weakling that you can easily provoke?
How dare you- " a councilman yapped so Rudra flicked his finger and sent him to the afterlife right before Thor's eyes as the entire council stood there bewildered as to what the fuck was going on.
[ System Notification ] - You have killed a tier 4 player named ' Oozam ' from the light faction.
+230 exp.
" Hahahahahaha " Thor began laughing like a maniac as he put one hand over his face and let his power surge.
Soon, Rudra joined him in his laughter as the two god's began laughing like maniacs
" HAHAHAHAHA".
While the two of them laughed, the rest of the council was frozen to their bones as some felt like pissing their pants upon witnessing the ruthlessness of Shakuni The Barbarian.
" What is it that you want eh, blue eyes, why are you deliberately looking for trouble?
I can see through you, this behaviour of yours is how I behaved around my father.
You have an endgame, tell me what it is, and I will give you the respect that you deserve ". Thor said level headedly as Rudra was genuinely impressed by the muscle god's IQ.
Rudra nodded his head, he did not feel like he would get the chance to be frank before Thor here today, he had came prepared to drag Thor to the immortal arena, but getting this unexpected chance Rudra was quite happy, he wanted to avert conflict if it were truly possible.
Nodding his head Rudra said " You are right.
I do not wish to fight you, if I don't have to.
But it is my, and my Won Knight Family's understanding that your country has been infiltrated with dark faction loyalists from the top of your rankings to the very bottom, and your territory is what the dark faction bastards use to gain Intel and resources from the light.
In the past you have repeatedly ignored the won knights warnings to investigate this issue thoroughly which is why I have been sent to take this step and oust you from power so that I can do what you were supposed to and get rid of the dark faction bastards from our lands.
I have nothing against you personally and have no personal interest in any of your territories.
I will gladly pay war reparations and leave your land should you agree on conducting an investigation into your government, right from every single minister in this council all the way to the bottom.
If not, I'm also ready for war ". Rudra said as he eyed each and every man in the room, sending shivers down their spines before looking towards Thor.
The God Of Thunder slumped back on his throne as he took a look at every man present within his council not able to digest the magnitude of Rudra's allegations.
" My lord the man is clearly lying, we would never- "
*RUMBLE*
Thor smashed mjolnir on the council floor as thunder crackled throughout the room giving everyone a clear indication that they needed to shut-up.
Today, Thor had a lot of thinking to do.
