It was day three on the five day traditional journey to Vale. The King may no longer rule the country but her village has always sent their best young fighter every four years to serve the kingdom. A little thing like a change in government wasn't going to change that~!
The modern interpretation of this system thus had her village sending their best to become Hunters of Grimm. Using the in place academy system in Vale they would bring honor and glory to their country and their village. Once properly accredited they would begin sending back a percentage of their income to their village for the next generation to be raised no matter what may come.
She had undertaken the champion challenge. At fifteen summers old she easily took down the current reigning champion of 2 summers with ease. The recognition this brought her plenty of acknowledgement from the older generations granting her a little more power. She will certainly miss her friends and family while she is at beacon but she could not grow any stronger at home. She had to put her name out there and make more friends to become powerful enough to meet the expectations everyone back home had for her!
Just two more days of making fire pits, camping and going in the woods before she is in civilization again~! Bathrooms Oh how I have missed them so~! And then there is the entertainment to consider! The village didn't have a good CTC connection so the TV's were only good for playing movies and recordings. Being able to watch the news live would be a~ma~zing!
She was already close enough to see bull head's flying around in the distance as well! It looked like it was heading for the local lake she had left behind this morning as well.
Bull heads aren't supposed to have one of their engines explode and start spiraling downward. Not good. Quickly gathering her staff she ran off towards the location of the soon to be crash sight. Well make that the actual crash site.
'I hope no one is hurt!'
*5 minutes later *
*BOOM!*
"And there goes the other engine, please let there be someone still alive!"
Sprinting around the crash site she determined that the people that managed to get out of the plan likely did so while the plane was crashing so they simply hit the ground or a tree in one example and turned into meat jelly.
"Bleugh, damn it. The bull head is basically an inferno and shattered from internal dust explosions in the fuel supply. Everyone looks to have been basically civilians as well. Not a single awoken aura. Damn."
Shaking her head in sadness she turns, dispatching a Beowulf leaping at her behind by bisecting it down the middle from skull to crotch.
Ignoring the dissipating corpse as it passes by on either side of her she looks over at the few crumpled corpses on the ground before gesturing with her staff and lighting them on fire.
At a much more subdued pace Amber begins making her way back to her camp sight. Evening is turning into dusk at this point. She needs to head back now while there is still light out.
* 5 minutes later *
The shadows are beginning to lengthen when she comes across a pack of beowulves circling around a brier bush. A quick gesture immolates the mutts and a quick hop up into the tree limbs allows her to look down into the center of prickly bush.
There was another body, rather torn up and with a death grip on a briefcase the unfortunately hot looking guy had been hugging to his chest before he landed there.
"Looks like one managed to get out early then, wonder what was so important?" she muttered to herself.
With a minor focus she jumped down and using her semblance burned the briar around her landing spot while leaving the body unharmed. Fire control was always easy for her, unnaturally so in fact.
Reaching down to try and pry the corpses hands away from the breifcase he weakly flinched back and groaned slightly with shallow breath.
"HOLY SHIT YOUR ALIVE!?"
