The shield in front of her was retracted in the blink of an eye. Edith nimbly used the terrain to move, slipping out of her grasp like a fish.

The shield would always appear at the right time, retracting and releasing freely, becoming her sturdy yet elusive barrier.

Edith placed the shield in front of her again, and the psychic nail that touched it dissipated like bubbles.

Then, the shield disappeared without a trace, and so did Edith's aura.

Jitarakum stopped what he was doing and stood there motionlessly, waiting to find an opening in Edith's defense.

There was a faint aura coming from a very low position behind him, and it was well hidden in all aspects. If it was a normal psychic, or even a stronger opponent, they would definitely not be able to detect it. But for Jitarakum, it was not completely traceless.

As expected, Edith lowered her center of gravity and attacked his leg diagonally from behind.

Jitarakum, who was already prepared, took a small step to the side, and just happened to be out of Edith's attack range.

Edith slid forward with the strength of her leg, and Jitarakum was already at her side.

Her hand that was closest to him reached out to block the attack near her head, and the other hand that was naturally hanging by her side was convenient for her to roll over.

She tilted her head slightly, and her gold-like eyes widened as she stared at Jitarakum.

Jitarakum would not let go of this opportunity, and she did not have time to adjust her movement or materialize her shield.

The psychic nail flew in the direction of Edith's head, and panic appeared in her bright golden eyes.

It was time to end this.

Jitarakum was originally thinking this, but in that instant, he caught a trace of strangeness.

Wait … something was wrong.

Before the psychic nail could get close to Edith, it disappeared without a trace, and the obvious and deliberate panic in her eyes was long gone.

Edith's lips curled into a proud smile, and she used the hand that was hanging by her side to do a side flip, and with one hand supporting herself in the air, she used that hand as the center to kick fiercely at his lower abdomen with one foot!

"Boom!"

Jitarakum's body broke several tree trunks before coming to a stop. His reaction speed was surprisingly fast, and he immediately protected the place where he was attacked, reducing nearly half of the damage. The seemingly fatal attack didn't do much damage to him.

He used [Gaze] to look over and confirmed his guess.

Edith's hand seemed to be protecting her head in time, but she was actually just pretending.

Throughout the entire battle, she had been misdirecting her fighting style in the direction of "freely retracting and unleashing" for this effect.

Previously, she had pretended to put away the shield and concealed her aura. The moment she reappeared, she was already holding the shield covered with a layer of [Conceal] with one hand.

After several rounds of fighting, she had a general understanding of the Jitarakum's strength. Even if she tried her best to hide her aura, she would still be discovered the moment she was attacked.

However, she could not defeat the Jitarakum with her own strength. If the Shadow of the Bubble That Will Burst was a sword or a spear, she might be able to fight it.

However, now that she was holding the shield, she could only cause insignificant damage.

Edith decided to retreat for the time being. She had to at least wait for the three-hour time limit to come up with a plan.

Therefore, the moment she hit the Jitarakum, she immediately accelerated in the opposite direction and ran into the depths of the forest without looking back, leaving him behind.

There were less than four days until the end of the exam, and she had already met the requirements to pass. She didn't want to start all over again with a body full of injuries.

However, the more she didn't want to encounter something, the more it would come knocking on her door.

When she was looking for a water source to quench her thirst, the Jitarakum stood on the opposite side of the river. When she was sitting on a tree branch and watching the battles between the candidates to pass the time, a row of psychic nails was thrown at her. When she returned to the cave she used to rest, the Jitarakum happened to be at the entrance of the cave …

When she met the Jitarakum for the sixth time, Edith's constantly tense string finally snapped.

"Enough!!!"

Edith couldn't stand this kind of surprising plot anymore. She was always on tenterhooks. Now, even when she closed her eyes, she would nervously hallucinate that the psychic nails were thrown at her.

It had only been a day. How could she be caught so many times on such a big island!?

She even met a candidate who was targeting her during this period of time, although that person didn't have a number tag on him.

Then there was the problem. Since Edith had already found the hunter, it meant that the Jitarakum's target wasn't her. Why was he doing this?

Excluding the possibility of hatred and illness, the biggest possibility was that she had the number tag he needed.

"What number is your target?"

Sure enough, when this sentence came out, the Jitarakum's murderous aura was slightly reduced.

He was quiet for a while. Under Edith's vigilant gaze, he reached out and pulled out a psychic nail from his body.

"Number 371."

"So you can talk!?"

Edith looked at the Jitarakum, stunned. She thought that this strange person would only say a bunch of onomatopoeic words. She didn't expect that not only could he talk, but his voice was so pleasant that it didn't match his strange appearance.

"Number 371 is indeed with me."

If she remembered correctly, it seemed to be snatched from the Jeep. "If I give you this number tag, you won't come looking for me?"

The other party was like a robot, nodding stiffly.

"With your strength, one day is enough for you to snatch three one-point number tags, right?" Edith couldn't help but ask, "Is there any point in chasing after you?

Isn't it too much of a waste of time? "

"The number of people doing this for free increased."

The Jitarakum continued to chat with Edith, "But later, I found that the time wasted increased, and it wasn't worth it.

But, there is one thing that needs to be corrected. "

"What?"

"I didn't come looking for you, I just happened to run into you every time."

… Isn't the chance of running into you a little too high?

She wasn't always on standby, she was always walking around.

"So, you're going to give me your number tag?"

"I can't give it to you for free, of course, there are conditions."

Seeing that the other party's murderous aura had increased, Edith didn't back down. She slowly added, "Since I'm giving you my number tag, you owe me a favor.

If you're willing to do free work for me, I can cancel out this favor. "

As a member of a large family, Dolores had always welcomed reliable combat power. Of course, she wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity.

"I refuse, it's not worth the reward of one job."

The Jitarakum refused without hesitation. He paused and changed his condition, "I can provide a 30% discount."

Isn't this a little too much … Edith muttered in her heart. From his tone, it seemed that this person's identity wasn't very simple. He seemed to be an expensive expert in this field.

"If you're interested, you can call this number."

The Jitarakum pulled out a business card from nowhere. Edith took it suspiciously, but when she glanced at the words on the business card, she was stunned.

Ilmi Bashing Enemy?!

This strange nail-man turned out to be a member of that famous assassin family?

No wonder he was so tricky …

Edith silently stared at the business card for a few seconds. She slowly raised her head, took out a business card from the outside pocket of her backpack and handed it over. She sincerely suggested, "I think we can work together for a long time, just in our personal names. In the future, I'll give you a 30% discount when I order from you. What do you think?"

"Dolores?"

The Jitarakum — or Ilmi Bashing Enemy — took the business card and pondered for a moment, weighing the pros and cons, "20% discount."

"Deal!"

After the deal was done, Edith gave the number to Ilmi without hesitation. She didn't forget to take special care of the man who beat the enemy's family, "Due to some special reasons, my identity has to be kept a secret for the time being. Please pretend that you don't know."

"Okay."

Facing the future big boss, Ilmi was also very straightforward, "Before the end of the Hunter Exam, I'll do the same here."

After completing an unknown deal and getting rid of a big trouble, Edith was able to kill two birds with one stone. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

She had to admit that the value and status of "Dolores" did provide her with a lot of convenience.

Even though she didn't have the ability to represent Dolores and could only make this deal in her own name, it was enough.

Anyone who knew a little about the Dolores family would know that Edith Dolores was loved by the family.

It wasn't that Edith wasn't satisfied with this result. On the contrary, she enjoyed the feeling of being the moon surrounded by stars.

However, if the name of Dolores wasn't removed from some things, it would lose a lot of fun.

Edith liked to rely on her own ability to do what she wanted to do. She didn't need Dolores to control the situation and stand at the top.

For example, her favorite game was like this.

It didn't matter if she was the pearl in the palm of the Dolores family. She could rely on her own ability to defeat other players and gain the favor of most people.

Whether she was Edith Dolores or just Edith, she had the right to get everything she wanted. She was an excellent person, and she had the right to be presumptuous and willful.

She only wanted to prove this point, and that was it.

Edith lowered her eyes, the sharpness in her eyes was blocked by half.

She hugged her open backpack. Other than the number tag that was still hanging on her body, there were still three number tags left. All of them added up to eight points.
