?Ellie didn''t find Jacob''s words suspicious, or she was too proud to bother with small details.


    Anyhow, she answered his previous question, "Alright, since you joined the Guild, I will naturally tell you this information is limited to Epic ins'' three hegemonies members.


    "As I said before, in Epic Rank, you need to decide a path of Magic or Combatant. You should know about the two categories of species, Fighter and Wiser. These two categories are the deciding factor of someone''s path in Epic Rank.


    pαпdα`noν?1`сoМ "In Epic Rank, a species undergoes an evolution ording to their bloodlinepatibility to either Combatant Path or Magic Path. The Fighter Species are 99% end up evolving in the path of Combatant. While the Wiser Species, 99%, end up in the path of Magic.


    "These two paths are essentially different from each other and have their own pros and cons. The Combatant Path is the path of Battle in which a species evolved in the way toward fighting, like stronger physiques, melee innate abilities, Combat Magic, battle sense, and such.


    "We called them Combatants and the Bank''s mercenaries, and the Alliance is mostly filled with them.


    "However, the path of Wiser Species is the pure path of Magic. Although they didn''t have strong physiques or battle sense and couldn''t practice Combat Magic which is only made for strong physiques, even Extraordinary Physiques aren''t enough to practice Combat Magic.


    "But the magic destructive power, superior analyzing abilities, natural talent in alchemy,rger mana reserves, and such are far more than enough to put a Wiser above those Combatants. They are known as Sorcerers, and I''m also a Sorceress." Ellie proudly stated.


    Jacob was in deep thought after getting this new information on the two categories. He always thought there was a huge difference between the two, and now it was quite clear.


    ''So, the Epic Rank, in a sense, is a divided factor between two categories, and the difference between them bes clear as day, unlike the Extraordinary Rank. Both sides had their own pros and cons, like a Combatant will be able to kill a Sorcerer as long as it closed the distance.


    ''The same goes for Sorcerer if it spotted the Combatant before it could reach it. Furthermore, this Combat Magic seemed quite unique, and in a sense, my strength is purely in the physical department with no trace of magic whatsoever.


    ''However, I appeared as a nker back then, and even Immortika dropped some subtle hints at something then. I''m missing an important piece of the puzzle, and it might be the key to awake magic….''


    Jacob couldn''t help but think in this direction, as magic power was always a sore thumb in his heart. But he couldn''t find the answer and always reached a dead end.


    "Vice President, is there more information on Combatants and Sorcerers in the market?" Jacob asked. He didn''t want to show hisck of magic knowledge in front of Ellie since she seemed well-versed in magic.


    Because he was an anomaly because he had an Epic Rank Physique but not a corresponding magic core, he was pretty sure he would appear as a valuable test subject in many people''s eyes if this fact were made public.


    Besides, he wasn''t sure if Ellie would even spare the time to give him more information than she had already promised. He had already sensed the change in her attitude after he epted her invitation.


    So, he didn''t want to fall off with her, not before he consolidated his position in the Alchemy Guild, or he might repeat the same incident with Gunnar.


    Furthermore, the Alchemy Guild President didn''t approach him personally, so that guy was still a mystery, and his attitude toward him. So, he was quite careful now.


    Just as he thought, Ellie seemed slightly impatient as she replied, "There is naturally all kinds of information in our private server. But it is bounded by the rank of a in. So, you need to enter Epic ins to see the information about Epic ins. It is that simple.


    "Now that you are already a reserve member, I want you to be an official member in three years. Because in these three years, including you, there will be 11 more alchemists joining you in the voyage toward Epic ins. Someone will approach you in the alchemy guild in the dark city when the time arrives.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "The Rare ins'' situation is getting worse as those Dark Beings are totally going for the annihtion of the Freedom ins before the reinforcement from our side reaches the Rare ins.


    "But you don''t have to worry. As long as you stay in the dark city, you''ll be safe. I want you to focus on getting rid of the reserve member status in these three years. I''ll give you 10,000 ZC. It should be more than enough for your studies and meet the requirement to be an official member.


    "Don''t disappoint me or ck off, or you''ll regret it. My eyes are always on you!"


    With this mysterious statement, Ellie ended the projection call, leaving Jacob frowning.


    ''Why is her end goal? Whatever it is, it can''t be achieved unless I reach the Epic ins, it seems.'' Jacob thought as he felt Ellie was hiding her motives rted to him.


    Although she didn''t have malicious intent, he could tell she was more like a control freak who wanted everything under her thumb and enjoyed suppressing people.


    ''What a strange day.'' Jacob sighed as he felt too much had happened in one day, and it all started after he passed the Senior Grandmaster test.


    If he knew so much trouble would follow, he might not even take the test. But he knew he needed the Alchemy Guild''s Magic Smith Workshop, so this would''ve happened sooner orter.


    Since things were over, he now had some more information about the Epic ins power structure. That ce seemedpletely under the control of three hegemonies, and their means were quite imposing.


    Afterward, he opened the messages he received after joining the alchemy guild.


    Like the Alliance, the first message was about the rules and regtions of the Alchemy Guild and their ranking system. There were Nine Stars Ranks for Reserve Alchemists.


    He was again given two types of identity badges, one for Reserve Alchemist, which was his real identity. The second one is for the rare ins, and they were plenty of them. Even Magic Smith''s badge was among them, and all of them could be shown up to Senior Grandmaster Ranks, so he was quite content with it.


    In the third message, he received 100 Zodiac credits after entering the Alchemy Guild.


    As for the fourth message, the moment he opened them, he received two promotions, and they were quite familiar.


    ''You have sessfully Joined the Private Star Server (Rare Alchemists)


    ''You have sessfully Joined the Private Star Server (Freedom ins Alchemists)


    Jacob scoffed and opened thest message, knowing what it could be. He saw a starwork link and opened it without hesitation.


    An application started to get installed in his star watch, and soon, he saw the emblem of the Alchemist Guild appearing in his star watch.


    His lips curled up as he opened the Alchemist Guild''s Application!
