The non-human being looked like an adult male, but the height, body size and everything else was on par with the dwarf.
However, what made Ainsley not think of this man as a dwarf was because of the body structure of this man.
This man looked as if his whole body was created out of soil, mud, rocks and other earth elements.
The two pairs of black bead eyes and one small mouth with fangs were the only thing that barely looked like people in a humanoid form.
The ears of this man were half shorter than the elf's unique sharp and long ears, but the ears were indeed not the ears of a human being.
The person looked like a living mud clay who dressed up nicely, and had thick hair and that's it.
This man looked more like a toy than a non-human being, but Ainsley quickly realized that this man should be the famous earth Gnome.
At first, Ainsley was confused because the Gnomes that she often saw on the internet in her previous world were like the dwarves in Snow White story, not the bearded buffy dwarves in popular RPG games.
But then, it turned out, the earth gnome in this world had a unique appearance and was completely different compared to the gnomes that Ainsley knew before.
The gnome had many elemental tribes in this world. The most common was the earth gnome and the water gnome.
People classified the gnome into the sub-class of the fairy race, just like the Dryad being associated with the elf race despite having a completely different appearance.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom The Gnome was indeed a small race, and the Earth Gnome was just a tribe among many other Gnome's tribes.
However, the earth gnome was indeed the most 'common' and they lived near the elven and the dwarf territory, just in between the two powerful races.
If the Dryad race occupied a large forest in the elven continent, then the Gnome occupied the elemental environments suitable for each of their tribes.
The earth Gnome liked forest more than mines, caves or rock mountains, so they lived near the Elven Territory and were a little like the residents of the Elven Continent.
The water gnome lived closer to the river, the sea and other places with water, so they were closer to the Merfolk race and the fairy race because most fairies had lakes, ponds, rivers, and other water sources in their territory.
The wind gnome was even closer to a fairy than a gnome and they were all considered as an inferior fairy with less beautiful appearances but still had wings and their size was bigger than ordinary fairies yet still smaller than most humans.
The rock gnomes liked to live in caves, underground, rocky mountains, mines and other places full of ores, which made them closer to the dwarves.
The rock gnomes were even once considered as lesser dwarves who were only a little bit less talented than the dwarves and had a rather ugly appearance.
For this kind of small race which even lived far away from each other and attached themselves to bigger races, it was so rare for one of them to even have the qualification to try this special instructor's assessment.
Ainsley curiously looked at this male earth gnome while the other two humans, one old man and one young woman in her thirties, looked at the earth gnome with eyes full of vigilance.
They were too distracted by each other to even notice the middle-aged mercenary man at the tree branches and Ainsley behind the tree.
When the three people met each other, they didn't immediately strike, but they kept a certain distance from each other while slowly trying to 'communicate'.
After all, they had found the rabbit hole but had not even seen the prey that they wanted to find.
The first one to speak was the woman in her thirties. She had a short masculine hair style, a body full of vigor and a sassy vibe.
She was definitely an alpha woman type and she looked so strong.
The sassy alpha woman immediately talked to the male gnome and the other old man in his fifty or sixty.
Anyway, the old man was definitely old because of his white beard and the wrinkles on his face.
But no one dared to underestimate the old man because of his age. On the contrary, the older the ability user, the more powerful they were and the more dangerous they would be.
These people didn't know whether the old man had lived for how many years and whether he was still in his prime or he simply retired and came to this Academy to be a teacher to pass time or something.
The old man was still a huge threat, but the sassy alpha woman was more curious and alarmed about the male gnome instead.
"This gentleman, is your task also to hunt a Panacea Rabbit?"
The woman already had a guest in her mind, but she tentatively tried to inquire about some information from this stranger.
Everyone here didn't know how many people got the same task, but looking at the people who came to the same place and were looking at the rabbit hole...
Maybe their first task was indeed the same.
The male gnome was only as tall as the woman's thigh, around Ainsley's height.
But even so, he didn't look intimidated at all and nodded coolly at the sassy woman.
"Yes. My task is to hunt Panacea Rabbit."
The gnome spoke in an international language so that all races would learn to communicate with each other without any language barrier.
But his words did provoke some kind of tension in the air.
