Reaching home, Noah immediately crashed into the couch. After relaxing for a couple of minutes, he turned on the tv.
"So after preparing what do you do next Quentin?" A reporter was interviewing this guy. The guy had an agile build with electric blue eyes and black hair.
"Well then we form up and we discuss about our formation and info we have on the portal. Then we head in."
"Wow, so what is it like in a (S+) rank dungeon."
"Well, its exhilirating in the moment, but I don't realize it because the amount of focus needed inside. You should ask the workers that come in afterwards once the king beast is subdued to collect the land resources."
"Oh, I think I heard somewhere that portal workers is pretty stressful and damaging."
"Yes, workers have it hard, not necessarily by the chance of being attack, but the pressure that is felt the higher someone goes up in portal rank by normal and weaker hunters is pretty stressful and can increase the likelihood of them being injured."
"Wow, that is fascinating, so how low ...."
At that time Gina walked in.
"What you watchin."
"Just an interview about portals."
"Oh, well I've been thinking and I'm going to officially move in with Jonny to spend more time with Kate."
"Oh, ok then so this is officially my house now then." Noah says in a lazy voice
"My pay in the guild has also increase to."
"Oh, is that so." Noah slowly starts to intergrade with the couch.
"At least show some happiness."
+"Yayyyawnnnnnn." In the middle of Noah's emotionless yay he started yawning.
....
....
In the morning, after looking in the mirror for any visible bruises, Noah left for his next portal to use his market. It was a typical routine with Noah getting into his market. It didn't take long, about two hours until a group comes in. They upgraded their ability, with Noah gaining telekinesis and active regeneration. Noah also got a copy that ended up giving him five stat points that automatically went into Int.
"Well that's interesting, maybe it gives me stat points for copies and the points go into related fields or it could just be completely random."
After buying stat coins from Noah, the hunters went to the weapons sections to browse the gear that Noah collected along with gear gained from Tuck and Sam.
At this time another group of what can only be the other party members of the store entered.
They traded like normal with one guy looking at Noah weirdly.
Noah managed to collect a support ability called force that enhances an attack by adding more force to attacks. The rest of the two hunters, except the weird guy, both had agility up skill resulting in ten points into Agi. He also managed to sell 24 stat coins. Afterwards, the weird guy comes to the table. He looks like a muscle head.
He bought an ability ticket, giving Noah 5 Str, then bought a (F) chest plate and 4 stat coins.
"Hey, your the owner of this place right?"
"Yeah why?"
"I mean if you are the owner why can't you let us, at least me, buy more than four stat coins." The weird guy then started adjusting his body and puffing his chest while getting closer.
'What is this dude doing?'
Noah, not knowing what the guy was doing, responded.
"Well it just part of the rules, someone can only get two per stat rank."
"Well I can just grab one then you will sell it to me."
"SIR.... I cannot trade with you it is impossible for me to do that," Noah started to get irritated.
"Fine then I will just take one old man."
The guy proceeds to grab a stat coin and leave with it.
As he is about to exit, he is stop by a barrier.
Getting irritated the guy turns around and shout.
"YOU BETTER OPEN THIS PORTAL NOW OR I WILL DECIMATE YOU."
Noah looks at the guy, adds 17 to Str, 2 Con, and 8 to Wis

"You can automatically leave once you return what you stole."
"I told you I'm taking and using this whether I buy this or not."
"Then you won't be leaving."
The guys immediately became furious and rush Noah
"HRAAAH."
Noah put a hand on the counter before hopping on top and activating Str and Agi up. After that he concentrated fire and wind into his feet and enchanted his body with Force. He dashed at the guy like a rocket knowing that he can't damage the shop. He then activates Int up and hit the guy with a fire, water, and wind attack sending him flying against the wall unconscious.
All the hunters were shocked, they knew that the weird guy was close to being a max level (F) rank hunter with about fifty into strength and about forty in Con.
"Wow, the owner is very strong. He is at least (E) rank to one shot him."
Noah, hearing this, was surprised.
'I would have had a harder time, with it being very likely I end up as him if I wasn't able to use so many abilities.'
One of the hunters approached Noah.
"Wow, that was so cool maybe after we could hang out." Then she started being weird, well in Noah perspective before approaching.
Telekinesis + Force + Wind= BEGONE .....
