We continue our story 3 days later in Astersa, with Konrad getting off the boat and he quickly admires the entirety of astera. However, that's quickly interrupted by 2 figures

Huntsman: So you're the councils choosen(Konrad walks down). Nice to meet you. I'll be your trainer to determine if you're ready (both shake hands)
Konrad: Great, I hope to start on this mission as quickly as possible(turns to the Commander), and you must
Be the Commander(salutes) pleaser to meet you as well, sir.
Commander:(Laughs and places his hand on konrads shoulder. At ease, the warrior we're all a family here your quarters are marked in the upper levels(Konrad nods and walks off).
Huntsman: I know that look in your eye, but I think we can trust him, he's far from what his father was
Commander: And how can you be so sure ?
Huntsman: THE sister's tell me he wants to be free from his father's legacy and create his own. So far his focus and goals are true.
Commander: I hope you're right for all our sakes

As KONRAD got settled in his quarters, he opened his ecology book given to him by morana, every creature was listed in it from top to bottom, to extinct to currently living. The book was long and very detailed but he knew that the information was valuable from the smallest jagras to the monstrous fatalis, but as he's reading the book, someone interrupts him.

?: So your going to be my partner ?
Konrad: Partner ? No no I was the only one assigned to ..
?: the blue crystal yeah yeah I've heard of the council of sisters assigning there new enforcer to this assignment and to think, the didn't say how handsome you were(Konrad blushes) names karlach what's yours
Konrad: Konrad VON WOLF it's a pleasure to meet you
Karlach: play your cards right(winks), and it sure will be(walks out)

The next morning Konrad and karlach are both picking out their weapons from the smithy , however much to the demonesses surprise konrad was only asking for armor to which the demoness was curious.

Karlach: um no offense but are you mad but In a continent where we have to deal with deviljhos, diablos and elder dragons you'd think a weapon would be (Konrad turns into his werewolf form) well I stand corrected and interested now
Konrad(werewolf):Easy now don't get any ideas
Huntsman: Alright you 2 that's enough we hit the highlands in an hour(walks over to konrad) so you ready for you 1st hunt kid ?
Konrad(werewolf) yeah as long as I get to collect their skulls as a reward
Huntsman:(look curious):alright you got yourself a deal

The new trio was heading to the coral highlands via air ship, where the Huntsman was explaining the situation

Huntsman: Alright so what were looking for right now is an abnormally sized wyverns, bigger than what they usually are. Got it ?
Karlach: So the crystal just makes the bigger ? That doesn't seem like an issue
Konrad(Human): That's not it the crystal is from a whole nother dimension, the creatures are not only bigger in size, but strong enough to throw down with elder dragons and elder lvl monsters
Huntsman: Correct, my most recent hunt had a pink rathian besting a rajang due to the crystal energies(karlach looks in shock) yeah I know(airship lands in the safe zone) Alright we'll make camp here and it's getting dark

As Karlach, the Handler and Huntsman set up camp, Konrad walks off to begin his investigation. The environment illuminates around him as he walks around the coral highlands and admires its beauty. However, he trips and sees giant claw marks in the ground and realizes that this creature is much bigger than it usually is

Konrad:(smiles) A ZINOGRE
