Chapter 169 - 169: Eyeball Of The Finder
Putting the letter aside, Axton stared at the orb floating in front of him.
The Eyeball of the Finder is an item that helps its user locate a target. However, it requires a medium to find the person in question. The orb in front of the Great Serpent Headmaster had special inscriptions and required approval from the Higher Ups for him to use it. They could also limit the orb's functionality, but Axton thought that his level of approval was more than sufficient.
He pulled something from his robe—a dark brown tree branch that one could easily find on any road. However, this particular stick had clearly been snapped. It was the same stick the small masked man, Can Deez, had used in the Advancement Examination.

"I'm not! He's really here!" Ned insisted.
Hearing the urgency in his voice, Filly turned to Gail, who had already closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she looked at Filly and nodded.
"Let's go out and greet him," Gail said with a bitter smile.
Filly's body trembled at the confirmation.
She wasn't prepared at all. She hadn't expected someone so important to visit her restaurant!
"How do I look?" Filly asked, fussing with her hair and clothes.
"We don't have time for that. We can't keep the Headmaster waiting," Gail said.
"Alright, let's go meet him!"
The two went out, leaving the Fire Chef to continue his work. Although Temor is curious and also wanted to go out, he couldn't just ignore Filly's words.
