Even though there were many questions regarding Janus, and there were many things he didn't like about Janus, overall, he had many things that made him happy for being able to possess Janus.
Janus was just like a guardian angel to him, and he fully understood it.
The System Store opened before Ryder.
Ryder looked at the screen before his eyes and started scrolling through to go to the items he needed. He had finished a few minor missions, so he had a few Origin Points, which he felt to be more than though for him.
"There it is, the Art of Theft," he muttered as he found the thing he was looking for. Long ago, he had seen this item in the Store, but he never felt the use of it.
It was not a physical item but more of a Spiritual Item. It was a small booklet that gave the user all the knowledge and experience that was in the booklet.
When Ryder had first received the system, he had learned a skill from something similar. The Lower Martial Arts that he used to kill his first target was learned just like this.
He purchased the Art of Theft.
\u003cArt of Theft Received\u003e
\u003cWould you like to learn it directly?"
\u003cYes\u003e \u003cNo\u003e
Ryder tapped on yes despite knowing that direct learning costs some origin points. He didn't have time to go read the entire book and try to understand it, so he paid the origin points for the comfort of learning it without putting much effort.
As soon as he tapped yes, he could feel a large amount of Knowledge entering his head. It took him five minutes to assimilate all of the knowledge that he had absorbed.
" Never ceases to amaze me," he muttered as he smiled.
Ryder walked up to one of the guards that were walking casually. Their gun was in their pockets.
Most of the guards were just standing casually here and there, waiting for their bosses to come out. Until then, they didn't need to protect anyone.
Ryder ran at full speed and hit one of the guards. Both of them fell down.
Ryder hurriedly stood up.
"I-i'm sorry. I was running to get some exercise when my feet hit a stone. I lost control and hit you. I don't hurt you, did I?" He asked the guard as he reached out his hand.
The guard looked at Ryder for a brief second before he shook his head.
"I'm fine. Don't worry," the guard said as he stood up himself without taking any help from Ryder.
"That's good. Have fun," Ryder said as he waved his hand and started running again. He ran back towards the mansion.
Saelyn was standing at the entrance with his arms folded.
He saw Ryder coming back.
Ryder stopped before Saelyn and gave him the gun that he had stolen from the guard when he collided with him.
"Here, My first weapon," he said while giving the gun.
"Young Miss submitted her first weapon before you," Saelyn replied as he nodded his head.
"She's fast. I can't fall back either," Ryder muttered as he ran away again.
He had started a few minutes later than Keia since he was purchasing things from the store and assimilating the knowledge after that for over five minutes, so he didn't find it strange that Keia had arrived before him. It didn't mean he couldn't leave her behind, though.
For the next twenty minutes, Ryder increased his efforts. He didn't dally for even a second as he stole weapons from the guards and submitted them to Saelyn for scorekeeping.
There were only a few minutes remaining before their decided time for the contest was about to be over.
Ryder looked at the watch as he frowned.
"Only two minutes; I should be able to get another catch if I'm fast," he muttered as he ran towards a guard.

Thirty Minutes were over since the contest began. Both Ryder and Keia had arrived back. Both of them stood before Saelyn as they waited for the results to be announced.
"Young Miss Keia has collected 6 Weapons," Saelyn announced first.
As soon as Ryder heard it, a smile appeared on his face since he knew that he had collected more.
"Young Master Ryder had managed to collect..."
Saelyn took a pause as he reached her. Keia waited with a curious look on her face since she didn't know how much Ryder had managed to collect.
"... ten weapons," Saelyn declared, stunning even Keia. He looked towards Keia. "Young Miss, you lost."
"Wow, I thought you were only a good Cultivator, but looks like you're a better thief than me," Keia said with an amazed look on her face.
"I lost by such an impossible margin," she added as she sighed.
"Now that we're done, let's go inside," She told Ryder.
She looked back at Saelyn.
" Thanks for the help. You can take the guns to the guards and have them collect it for themselves," She said before she went inside with Ryder.
" Congratulations on winning. So, what do you want me to do? A bet is a bet. I'll fulfill my side of the bet since I lost," Keia told Ryder as she walked with him.
"I want all the information about the Ancient Cultivation Clans. The more information you can collect, the better. I want to increase my knowledge about the outside world now that I have finished my training. Can you do that?" Ryder asked Keia.
He couldn't think of any use of Keia other than this. He didn't want her to kill anyone for him. He had already killed enough people, and he could kill more if he needed. As for money, he had ways to get that too. All he needed was information. The Ancient Cultivation Families were the side of this world that he hadn't known about.
According to legends, Cultivators were the humans that managed to increase their potential and gain various powers through intense training and Knowledge. He wanted to know more about them.
"That's all? I can easily do that. Give me a week. I'll collect everything I can. Where do you stay? Tell me the address; I'll come there myself with all the information," Ryder said to Keia.
Ryder gave her the address of Shu's house since that's the place he was living at currently. He didn't want to go back to the old house with Alice where she was unsafe, so he had decided to stay with Alice at Shu's place until he got a better and safer place.
