"Knock, knock~" Leyton knocked on the door of Captain Icanton's office.

"Come in!" Captain Icanton's voice came from inside the office.

Leyton pushed the door open and entered the captain's office, only to find that the captain's right arm was wrapped in gauze, and his forearm, from wrist to elbow, was also wrapped in a circle of gauze.

"Captain, are you injured?" Leyton asked with some surprise.

Although Sia had said yesterday that she had encountered a Sequence 5 Scarlet Scholar, Leyton really hadn't taken it to heart at the time.

In Leyton's mind, a qualified scholar must have mastered a large amount of extraordinary knowledge and abilities. Although they were certainly not as strong as Crimson Scholars, they were comprehensive. Even if they couldn't win, they could always protect themselves.

But now Leyton felt that he had seriously underestimated the extent to which potions enhanced Beyonders as the Sequences increased. The further along, the greater the gap between two Sequences, and cross-level challenges were more like sending oneself to death.

"You have already advanced to Knowledge Keeper? Very good. Mr. Kosith's injuries are a bit serious, and Sia is about to leave again. Our team's combat power has suddenly become fragmented, and your advancement just fills the gap." Captain Icanton sized up Leyton for a while before speaking in a gentle voice.

"Are Mr. Kosith's injuries very serious?" Leyton asked with some concern.

If the choice he had made yesterday had not been to avoid the werewolf and seek help from the captain and the others, but to stay and face the werewolf together, the outcome would have been different.

"Don't blame yourself. There was nothing wrong with what you did. Given the situation at the time, if you had stayed to face that werewolf together, the only result would have been death." Captain Icanton saw what Leyton was thinking and comforted him first.

Then he said: "Kosith's physical injuries are fine, mainly he was infected with a relatively serious werewolf toxin and needs a long period of recuperation. Don't worry, you will be able to see Kosith in two weeks."

"Mm." Leyton nodded and asked, his mood not very good: "Then why didn't Josie and Ms. Jessica come either?"

"Josie was also slightly injured yesterday, not too serious. I gave him a day off. As for Jessica, she took a vacation early. The New Year is coming soon, and Jessica is preparing to go on vacation to the beach with her husband." Captain Icanton explained with a chuckle.

"Uh, so that's how it is." Leyton was a little embarrassed to realize that he had been overthinking things.

"Did you come to me for anything else besides telling me about your advancement?" Captain Icanton spoke up, interrupting Leyton's embarrassment.

"Captain, I want to apply for some Beyonder ingredients. I found that the materials I uploaded in the application were not comprehensive enough. This time I'll buy them with money. It seems like I don't have any quota left." Leyton originally wanted to directly apply for some Beyonder ingredients, but suddenly remembered that he had already overdrawn his quota last time, so he changed his mind and said he would buy some.

"Okay, the church still has quite a few ordinary Beyonder ingredients here. Write me a list of the materials you need later, and bring the money to me tomorrow to pick them up." Captain Icanton readily agreed to Leyton's request.

"Okay, Captain." Leyton nodded and left the captain's office.

Originally, Leyton thought it would be quite difficult to apply for another batch of Beyonder ingredients from the church, but he didn't expect the captain to agree so readily.

"Perhaps it's because even after becoming a Knowledge Keeper, one's own Beyonder abilities are still of the auxiliary type, and most of the church members have a hobby of researching things, so the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom is very lenient with its members in terms of Beyonder ingredients!" Leyton speculated in his heart.

But no matter what, this was a good thing for Leyton. At least he didn't need to try his luck at wild Beyonder gatherings and could directly collect the Beyonder ingredients he needed.

When Leyton wrote the list of materials this time, he also added the supplementary ingredients for the Seer pathway that he needed. Or rather, this was Leyton's main purpose in wanting to apply for materials.

"Once I become a Sequence 7 Wizard, I should be able to find out what exactly that huge circle is when I meditate." Leyton thought silently in his heart.

After Leyton returned to his position, he saw that Bugs Bunny was actually reading a book on the table, although it was an enlightenment book with illustrations.

"Why have you started reading enlightenment books? Are there no more picture books for you to read?" Leyton asked curiously.

"I want to study hard and become a cultured rabbit." Bugs Bunny said with great ambition.

Leyton looked at this rabbit, which seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, in a bit of a daze. He had only been gone for a while, and this rabbit had suddenly realized something?

"What did you say to your little bunny? I just told it that after reaching Sequence 7, it could quickly cultivate plants, and it suddenly started reading." Sia said jokingly.

"Uh, it probably wants to throw down a seed in the morning and harvest a carload of watermelons in the evening!" Leyton was a little speechless.

If he had known that this rabbit could be so easily motivated, why would he have told it so much? He could have directly told it that as long as it continued to advance, the fruits it ate in the future would have to grow according to its requirements.

"That's true, a rabbit full of motivation!" Joseph, who was listening to their conversation, couldn't help but sigh.

"Forget about the rabbit, you two big boys, does anyone want to spend this wonderful morning with me, your sister? This is a one-time opportunity!" Sia casually flicked the red hair that was draped in front of her, speaking with great charm.

Joseph's ears turned a little red, and he turned his gaze away, not daring to look at Sia again. Leyton shrugged helplessly.

"Even the landlord's family has no surplus food. Yesterday's meal used up my meager savings, and now my wallet is empty." Leyton shook his head, indicating that he had no money.

"Little Leyton, how come you're already giving up after just one time? I wanted to take a shortcut, Sister!" Sia said with a look of disappointment.

Leyton couldn't help but complain in his heart, "I suspect you're driving, and I have evidence."

"Didn't you go on a mission yesterday? What else did you do?" Joseph looked at Leyton with disbelief.

"Because when Sister Sia gave me the rabbit last time, I promised to treat Sister Sia to a meal, but it was delayed until yesterday, and I was ruthlessly slaughtered by the beautiful and gentle Sister Sia. My wallet visibly withered." Leyton said, imitating Sia's exaggerated tone.

"Except for the beautiful and gentle part, one sentence is correct. All the other content is little Leyton's slander and rumors about my dissatisfaction." Sia said, her words full of drama.

Joseph supported his forehead speechlessly, feeling like he was full of black lines. He felt that he had acted a bit stupid just now. He knew what kind of person Sia was, but he still fell for it.

"Sister Sia, are you leaving this afternoon?" Leyton changed the subject.

"Leaving tomorrow, but before I leave, I have to pack my luggage! Does little Leyton want me to leave so quickly?" Sia said in a sad and resentful tone.

"How could I have such a rebellious idea! I just feel that the team has suddenly become so quiet." Leyton tried to get the topic back on track.

"Does little Leyton mean that it seems very noisy when I'm here?" Sia continued to say, feigning sadness.

Leyton didn't want to talk anymore. Sia, this drama queen, had too much drama.

"Is Ms. Sia leaving Madan? Is she also taking advantage of the New Year to go on vacation?" Joseph couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"No, I'm going to be transferred away from Madan. I may not come back in the future." Sia smiled and shook her head, saying with some emotion.

"Ah? Why? So suddenly?" Joseph asked several questions, full of doubts.

"The specific content involves confidentiality, so I won't tell you. Let's give everyone a holiday today. What do you want to play or eat? I'll pay for it." Captain Icanton suddenly announced the good news of the holiday.

"Sure enough, does everyone dislike me so much? Even you, Captain, are taking the lead in celebrating!" Sia said in a painful tone.

"Sia's drama queen attribute has exploded today! Is she thinking that she's about to leave here, so she's directly letting herself go!" Leyton couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Giving you a holiday for no reason is already a violation of the rules. If everyone doesn't want to, we can also stay in the office and work hard." Captain Icanton stared at Sia and said word by word.

"Let's leave now. Since the captain is paying, you two big boys, don't be polite!" Sia skipped the previous conversation and changed the subject.

Sia and the captain's first confrontation, the captain wins!
