86 100000 Bounty
Arthur used his free points before leaving for the village. He noticed how his strength was at 75, and with 25 it would amount to 100, so he put all of it in strength.

“After this, I should probably put some more in the other stats.” Arthur thought.
Two fire wings grew on his back, and Arthur flew towards the village.
Nothing unusual on the way, as always, and in a few minutes he was inside the inn.
“Oh, it’s you.” The attendant said. She met Arthur the last time, so she did not make the same mistake and quickly call the owner of the inn.
A tiny man came with a smile, “Mr. President. Are you here because of the announcement, I assume?”
Arthur liked that the man did not ask useless questions and went directly to the point.
“Yes. Did someone come here?”
“I got 20 men that want to work for you. Do you want me to call them?”
“Please.”
Twenty men to work on the construction. It was not a big number, but a good number, considering they were on an island.
The inn’s owner went around the village calling out the people, and soon, 20 men were in front of Arthur.
All of them were visibly muscular, and the inn owner said they all had experience with building, so Arthur was pleased.
He wanted to improve the academy, and the fastest, the better.
“All right. Everyone, follow me.”
These people would work for him and not befriend him. Arthur felt there was no need to waste time trying to impress these people, even more considering they were all weak humans.
Different from the fast journey using his wings, Arthur had to walk and wait for them to catch up. It was boring, and it took a lot of time to reach the school.
Once they did, all the workers had their mouths wide open after seeing the vast mansion. It was the first time any of them got close to that area, as the passage was prohibited.
Arthur talked with all of them, and it seemed one worker was respected in the village, and all the rest had pointed him as the chief to supervise the construction.
“This is the layout. I want you guys to study it and build the foundation.”
It was the layout of the recreation area Arthur planned to build. He still needed more construction materials, but he had the basics for the foundation.
At least he had all the tools needed.
“I need to ask someone to buy me materials. Maybe Jack can help me out?”
Speaking of Jack, he would arrive in a few days. Arthur was excited to look for that treasure he talked about.
Perhaps it would be something that would make him rich, or stronger. The realm of possibilities was endless.
The workers grabbed the materials and tools and left for a nearby area where the recreation area would be.
Arthur let them to what they wanted, as he was not experienced with building, anyway. But obviously, he would intervene if anything strange happened.
“Hey, Arthur!” Kai said.
The students had minor breaks between classes, and a bigger break for lunch. Kai was in one of these minor breaks, and he saw Arthur standing there, in the middle of the courtyard, just outside of the mansion.
“Kai. Is everything okay?”
“More than okay, actually. That’s why I’m here. I did some good progress in the water essence absorption, and I think I’m here to learn the first skills.”
“Oh?”
Arthur was surprised. He knew the wyvern technique was easier and weaker than his own. Kai was improving at a fast rate, which made him happy.
“Good work, Kai. If you’re saying you’re ready, then I’ll grant you a new technique after the classes today. Meet me at the same spot, near that river. Okay?”
“Ok, master.”
Kai said goodbye to Arthur and returned to his class.
“What should I do now?”
The dungeon problem seemed to have stopped, at least for the time being, but Arthur still flew and scanned the dungeon’s surroundings to see if there was anything strange.
Sully was the only strange thing around that area.
“Are you camping in front of the dungeon? You don’t need to go that far.” Arthur said to Sully, whose gaze did not avert from the dungeon’s entrance.
“My task here is important. What if I don’t see the monsters coming out and everyone gets hurt?” Sully said.
“You have a point, but you still need to rest.”
“I do rest, but in front of the dungeon so that I can sense the monsters.”
“All right. Anyway, both you and Kai are improving fast, huh?”
“How’s that brat, anyway? Did he find a girl already?”
“I don’t know about that, but he’s doing well in the training I passed to him.”
“You? Training someone? That’s a funny joke.”
“Shut up.”
Arthur was happy to see Sully so committed to watch the dungeon. It made him more motivated to get strong enough to kill whatever monsters came out of that dungeon.
It was a mysterious place that even had a portal to the Dream Realm.
“I need to clear this dungeon, find out more about the gods, and find Nefion to speak about his brother… Ah, so many things for my head.” Arthur thought.

A ship that had familiar faces boarding it. It was Jack, who was still a few days away from meeting Arthur.
Jack was stopped by another ship. Not a pirate ship, but one from the government.
An admiral wearing a white coat came asking for questions, and he had a sketch on hands.
“You’re the captain?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Have you ever seen this man?”
The admiral showed the sketch, who had Arthur’s face on it, with a number beneath it.
