Watching the youths fight turned extremely boring, and if he didn't know better, Shane would confidently say that he is stronger than them and join their fight, just for the adrenaline kick.
However, even if he was stronger, showing his combat prowess to his roommates while at the same time humiliating them on the first day they met, would be the wrong way to establish a firm relationship.
As such he remained quiet while thinking of his future path and what exactly he should do, once all exams were over.
Without mandatory subjects, Shane just wanted to take a look at the combat lessons and how efficient they would be compared to the lessons he received from his family.
'First, I should complete my perfect Mortal physique and enter the Apprentice stage...My funds should be more than enough, but if the threads on Primweb are not wrong, the Radiant mountain ring dimension is slowly gaining popularity because of the expensive beast carcasses…'
However, even though the popularity of the radiant mountain ring dimension began to slowly rise, the danger caused by the bloodlust thunder wolf seemed to suppress the interest of many merchants.
They feared the destruction of the shelter and the loss of goods, which would be worse than having fewer profits, which caused the RadiantRing shelter's population to rise only slowly, with many hurdles.
Contrary to the reaction of most merchants and adventurers, Shane predicted the government to act rashly because they would have most likely already figured out about the sheer number of elemental crystals all over the mountain range.
Shane doubted that the government didn't already hire hundreds of workers to mine multiple caves while guarding them with Elite military units.
If they couldn't even ensure normal laborers' safety, from the bloodlust thunder wolf, the authorities in charge should just resign and let others take care of such matters.
'My cave is well hidden and looks extremely small from the exterior, most likely not even like an elemental crystal cave, since I started mining there...maybe...there will only be a few beasts habituating the cave, instead of humans excavating the whole cave?'
Without being sure of this fact, Shane could only rely on the fact that he barely found the scaled lizard elemental crystal cave which was hidden from the surrounding thanks to him being guided the first time.
The second time he found the cave took also extremely long, even though he knew the way which was a rather good sign for him to assume that humans might not have found the cave yet.
As such, Shane was in a rather good mood, when he noticed that the two apprentice stage youths finished their "intense" fight.
Standing up, he greeted the two youths, also revealing his stage, causing the other youths to smile weirdly, as they proudly Introduced themselves.
With this, Shane found out that both of them had a proud character, without any backings, because they were barely at the 3rd&4th Apprentice stage, which was not something to brag about.
Apparently, the two youths knew each other since they were young and liked to talk, which Shane could only accept, as he nodded his head, frowning inwardly
'Why are there so many chit-chatters? Olivia is still fine but these two are just annoying…' Enduring their onslaught of words, Shane decided to take a walk outside the dorm in order to get to know the Shirai academy.
Walking around aimlessly, he appreciated the scenery for some time, as the academy grounds were filled with blossoming flowers and large trees.
Further, in the distance, Shane even noticed a large forest which he approached full of curiosity.
He wasn't sure why, but he felt attracted to the tranquility radiating from the forest, as he instinctively activated his mana gathering technique.
'Huh? Does the forest radiate faint traces of mana? And the density seems to increase deeper inside the forest!!'
Remembering different kinds of trees, Shane also knew that they had different qualities, which was only hardly helpful in normal cases.
However, since Shane purchased the beast sealing card with its [extraordinary] quality and the [soul connection] ability, his train of thought changed slightly.
'Are these trees from the Primordial Dimension? Maybe even at the extraordinary quality? If that's the case, can they produce faint traces of mana through a similar process as the photosynthesis?'

Right before he was to enter the forest, he noticed a notification popping up in front of him.
[Host is about to enter a special zone, which the [Shirai Academy] claimed. If host doesn't want to infiltrate the [Tranquil forest] unlicensed, causing an alarm, host has to pay 1 gold coin, in order to receive one-time access permission(no time limit).]
Hearing this notification, Shane was astonished
'You can even claim a zone/territory through the system? That's amazing!! But it should also be extremely expensive...and this price is also cheap. Is Aunt Kia now a fraud?'
With his train of thoughts changing from one possibility to another, each turned out to be more unlikely and stupid than the prior, and calling his Aunt fraud, was the weirdest thought he ever had.
This couldn't be the answer, as he began to change his train of thought to figure out the real reason.
Curiosity overwhelmed him, and he paid one gold coin in order to enter the forest, without causing an alarm, as he entered the forest's outskirts.
'It's not even that much of a difference if I were to compare it to the shelter....maybe the core area is even higher in its mana particle density?!' This shocked Shane greatly because it was a big difference if he were to enter the Shelter to cultivate or if he could have his peace on Igra.
But this was only the case, if nobody else, or only a few serious students were to enter the forest in order to cultivate or breakthrough.
Previously, Shane didn't dare to break through outside the shelter wall with the sole exception when he was alone inside the depths of the elemental crystal cave.
However in this case, he was alone without a single living being nearby or even remotely close to him, which was the reason for Shane to do so.
If he could breakthrough through Igra, without anyone hindering him, it could even be considered beneficial for his plan, which might change according to Shirai Academy's variety of combat teachers.
Furthermore, the biggest contrast the forest demonstrated, was the tranquil aura, easing even the slightest tension Shane's body showed.
'With a light heart and body, cultivating should be much faster here…'
After walking for over ten minutes with his mana gathering technique fully exerted, Shane couldn't help but smile brightly, as he noticed that cultivating inside the [Tranquil forest] was extremely pleasing and he pondered if he should just stay inside the forest for a few weeks after the first exam and ranking period was over.
Suddenly, Shane noticed that the threes around him became fewer, with a large crystal clear lake underlining the tranquil scenario
It was extremely beautiful and looked magnificent and averting his gaze to memorize the whole lake, the picture of a white beautiful white-haired woman, leaning on a large tree trunk next to the lake was imprinted in his mind.
However, Shane was rather confused to see such a familiar figure here, as he mumbled
"Aisha Hael?!", which woke up the sleeping beauty from her dreamless sleep.
Looking up, she immediately noticed that she was not the only one overwhelmed by the scenario, the lake presented, causing her to faintly smile towards Shane.
