Turning around, Kenji saw Marcus and Julius, along with two other persons, waving at him.

  “See, I told you it was Kenji. Why don't we take him with us?” Marcus, who had just called Kenji, turned to Julius and asked.

  “Sure,” after thinking for a moment, Julius replied. Kenji could help them distract boars and they just needed to pay him 5 copper coins. It wasn't a bad deal.

  “Hi, we are going hunting and need a worker. Wanna join us?” Approaching Kenji, Marcus asked.

  “Sure,” Kenji replied without thinking much. Instead of looking for work, the work had come to his doorstep—why would he refuse?

  Thus, all five of them left the city and headed toward the boars' territory.

  “I know you two have worked transporting corpses before, but remember, carrying dead bodies and fighting monsters are two completely different things. However, don't be scared. Just think of them as normal animals back on Earth……….”

  “But on steroids.” Just as Julius was teaching the new recruits, Marcus jumped in.

  “Marcus, this is a serious matter. Don't joke around.” Julius' face instantly turned cold as he scolded Marcus.

  “As I was saying, monsters aren't to be scared of…….” After pushing away Marcus, Julius again started guiding the new recruits.

  Both Julius and Marcus were friends back on Earth, and when they arrived in the Ancient World, they banded together to earn money.

  After acquiring their F-rank Gifts, they ditched working transportation jobs and started hunting by themselves.

  Recently, they decided to form a party as their hunting range was becoming limited with just the two of them. But no one was willing to join, as they didn't have either a party seal or a party banner.

  So, ultimately, Julius chose two rookie workers who had just acquired their E-rank Gift and were looking to join a party.

  “So, how far are you from getting an E-rank Gift?” As Julius was busy telling the new recruits all the tips and tricks of being a hunter, Marcus approached Kenji and asked.

  Although the last time they hired Kenji, he told them that he didn't have any Gift, from Kenji's performance of carrying a boar back to the city with his weak body, he should have had one. He just wasn't willing to share which Gift he had.

  “Maybe in a month.” Hearing Marcus ask about the E-rank Gift, Kenji fell into thought before answering.

  Ever since he figured out how to mobilize Ki to enhance both his physical fitness and stamina, Kenji's performance was basically like that of a person with an F-rank body-enhancing Gift.

  And his control was getting better with each passing day.

  Right now, Kenji was earning one Silver coin a day, but after getting [Peak Physique], which would obviously strengthen his body and allow him to use a larger portion of his Ki, Kenji believed that he would easily earn 3–4 Silver coins a day.

  “Oh, then would you like to join our team?” Although Marcus felt a month was too long, he still invited Kenji to join their team.

  “Sure,” without giving it much thought, Kenji agreed.

  Kenji and Marcus continued their small talk, and before long, they entered Boar territory.

  “Okay, let's see. Kenji, you will be responsible for attracting the attention of the Boars. Zav and Anya, you both will be responsible for attacking any Boar that charges at us. And Marcus, you know the drill.” Hiding in the bushes, Julius looked at the group of Boars and formulated the plan of attack.

  Sigh “Ahhhhhh!!” Out of nowhere, Kenji came out of the bushes and scared the nearby Boars, who started running the moment they heard the wild commotion.

  “Marcus, now!!” Seeing that no Boar was planning to charge toward Kenji, Marcus and Julius came out of their hiding place and started shooting arrows at the retreating Boars.

  “One down, finally!” The moment Marcus’s arrow hit the Boar, he celebrated. After all, it's not every day he hits his target.

  On the other hand, Julius remained calm and continued shooting, trying to get as many kills as possible. Zav and Anya quietly watched the show.

  “Three kills is not bad.” Soon, the Boars were out of bow range, and Julius put away his bow.

  “You are really natural at this.” Seeing Julius kill two Boars while he was only able to get one made Marcus a little envious of his talent.

  Both of them picked up archery at the same time after coming to the Ancient World. However, Julius' progress was miles ahead of his.

  “Are we heading back?” Seeing Julius and Marcus kill three Boars effortlessly, Kenji was impressed.

  “Heading back? No, we are going to continue.” Without turning to Kenji, Julius answered.

  “But, I……” Hearing that they were going to continue hunting, Kenji was about to remind Julius that he was only a worker responsible for transporting carcasses and that he wasn't willing to continue wasting time attracting Boars for them, when Marcus spoke

  .

  “Don't worry, you will get your share of the spoils. You don't have a problem with it, right, Julius?”

  “Sure.” Julius was a little hesitant, but seeing the look on Marcus' face, he agreed.

  The last time they hired Kenji, it was, in fact, their first time hiring a worker for transportation. So, they had no idea that now workers are only transporting carcasses. Not like before, when they had to act as bait and then carry back the spoils for just 2–3 copper coins.

  Now, if one needs bait, one should be willing to pay the same share as any other party member. More importantly, baits aren't willing to carry back the spoils. For that, they have to hire additional workers.

  When both Marcus and Julius heard this, they were shocked at how much had changed in less than a month. After that, they both felt bad about how they treated Kenji, especially Marcus.

  However, Julius isn't much of an emotional guy; he doesn't care much about these things. Even today, he wanted to continue exploiting Kenji, but since Marcus stood up for him, he agreed after some hesitation.

  “What about you guys, do you have any problem?” Seeing Julius agree, Marcus turned to Zav and Anya.
