2nd chapter
"Okaa-san, I'm gonna head out now." Zeru said wearing a black hoodie, a white short sleeve shirt, jeans, and sneakers.
"Alright then, have a good day Zeru-kun."
As Zeru left the house, Raiga was waiting outside, wearing a black wife beater, camo pants, boots, and black sweatbands.
"About time."
"Heh. So remembered any missions that caught your eye?"
"Yep."
"B and A ranks huh?"
"Yeah but this time I'm gonnna go slow."
"You got a warning from your Dad huh?"
"The one time where a father is an S rank member, he can't pull any strings for me."
"If he were to do that, all of the other new recruits with S rank parents would do the same."
"Yeah your right. Man I can't wait to get out on the field."
"You want to use that weapon again badly huh?"
"Hell yeah! It's my favorite."
"Let's just hope it doesn't have any glitches this time."
"So did the Blacksmith guy, gave you more weapon to test out?"
"Yep, he wants data on them as soon as possible."
As they walked to the bus station.
"Damn why can't you just teleport us?"
"Uh hello I can only teleport like a couple feet not miles."
"Then learn faster, I'm tired of walking like this."
"Do you have to whine?"
"Shut up!"
Later as they arrived at their stop, they headed into a nearby alley way.
"Can't we just go to through the front?"
"Do you want other adults wondering why a bunch of kids are heading to a tavern in broad daylight?"
"Yeah but if only someone practiced with their teleportation magic, we didn't have to go the Amish way"
"Really gonna go pull the amish card huh?"
"Shut up."
As Raiga began to touch random places on the wall.
CRACK
A crease in the wall appear, as it caused something on Raiga's left forearm to glow.
The crease then cracked opened revealing a door underneath the wall.
"Ladies first." Zeru offered.
"Fuck off." He then opened the door as they entered.
When they entered inside.
CRASH
A man was thrown against the wall.
"Shit is happy hour on now?"
"Who cares time to work."
"You can say that kind of phrase when we do this stuff. But not when you study?"
"Dude don't be a dick."
"But I have one."
"Why did I ask you to come along?"
"We have a BFF necklace."
"NO WE DON'T!"
"Because our fourth grade teacher paired us up to do grouped pair show n tell and that's how we became friends?"
"More like you being all antisocial and being a downer."
As the walked towards a dark skinned man wearing a white dress shirt wit, combat pants , brown boots, he also had a black eye patch covering his left eye.
"Yo Basilio!" Raiga called.
The man turned around to see the two teen walking to him.
"Hah! If it isn't you two brats." Laughed the Guild Master.
"Hello Uncle Basilio." He greeted.
"Heh, so what are two kids doing here during the summer? Shouldn't you kids be out in the beach scoping out for some talent."
"Nah got a girlfriend, we're just here to do some jobs."
"What waste of youth. You kids should go the beach or something."
"Oh and what did you and my Dad do?" Zeru tauntingly asks.
"Heh got me there. Well there aren't a lot missions but there are some many low ranks, the C ranks are almost gone though."
"Fuck."
"Well we came here to do jobs, so lets go."
"Hey you need to find a special someone for yourself too, you're wasting your youth."
"Not interested." He said heading to the request board.
As they stared at the request board there were a few low rank missions, but there was a particular mission with a Giant A on it.
"How about…"
Zeru immediately yanks the paper away from him and reads the mission.
[Mission: Getting materials for project. Materials needed, A fang from a Wyvern, Mythril, and Demon Widow's venom. Rank:D Award: Special. Requester: Azazel. Location:Transportation circle is attached to transport in designated location to gain materials.]
After reading the mission
RIP
He tore it apart.
"Hey! I wanted to pick that."
"I like to live, thank you very much and besides dealing with Wyverns and Demon widows are like A class monsters.."
"But those missions from that guy are fun!" he whined.
"More like suicidal."
"Hey if you can't handle it stay out of it."
"You'll make a good crash dummy."
"Grr, fine then what do you think is good mission to do?"
"Fine then."
As he looked through the missions currently available for ranks E, D, and C.
"Hmm, damn a lot are gone. Guess the others needed fast money for the summer."
"See, now let's do the Azazel mission…"
"Hell no. Remember the last one?"
"So you ended up with a broken arm, big deal."
"Do you know how hard it is to make up an excuse to my parents for wearing a cast and for head injury?"
"That's your problem."
"Lets just go find one and get it over with." He sighed.
"Hey you two for a mission?"
The two turned to see a woman with blond hair tied in a pony tail over her shoulder, blue eyes and she was around her twenties.
"Yes, Susan-san." He said in a slight stressed tone, from arguing with his idiotic friend.
"Well lucky for you I think this might suit you two." She said showing them a piece of paper.
As they read it.
[Mission: Gathering Mythril. Details: Need some help in gathering mythril, details will be explained. Requester: William. Rank: D. Reward: ? Location: Mythris Town, Europe.]
"Hm that's a good one."
"Oh come on! We're just doing manual labor!"
"Hey Its better than nothing."
"Fine."
"So you two planning on taking this mission then?"
"Yes."
"*Giggle* Alright then come with me you two."
As the two followed the Guild's Mission handler.
"Ah I almost forgot, here you go Zeru *hands him a suit case.*"
"Arigato." He thanks her, as he got the case.
"Hey what about my weapon is it repaired?" Raiga asks.
"Ah lucky for you it just got sent here. Hold on I'll get it." Cynthia said as she headed on back.
"Yes!"
Susan later arrived carrying a large object, which was in a long suit case.
"Finally!" he immediately takes it from Cynthia.
"*Sigh* I still can't believe that you're willing to use that thing."
"What it's a badass weapon."
"More like a Dollar Store weapon bound to break."
"Shut up."
"So are you two prepared?"
"Hold on. " he said as he created a magic circle, a bag appeared.
When he opened the bag it had many vials one with a green liquid, and the other a blue liquid.
"Lets see four potions, two ethers… Yeah I think we're ready."
"Let's go already." Said the impatient idiot.
Cynthia nodded as she then created a magic circle on the floor.
"Have fun you two."
Zeru nodded as he entered the circle, causing him to disappear.
"Hey wait up." His friend followed.
The two young Guild members now arrived somewhere in the woods.
Zeru then decided to open the suit case. As he opened it contained objects, a set of white handles and a round wrist attachment.
"Wow that's it? Don't you usually get bigger weapons?"
He then noticed the two nameplates for each of the weapons. For the set of handles it had the nameplate Recoil Rod and the round object had the name Boomerang Shield.
"What kind of names are those things?"
"There's more to them than appearance." He said as he puts on the wrist mount device on his right forearm and put the recoil rod, on behind his belt.
"Whateva, but this baby is the best."
"Put that away, we don't want to cause anybody to ruin."
"Fine."
Zeru the casted a magic circle and stored his friend's weapon into a dimensional storage.
"But first…" he then puts his finger above his friends' forehead.
The circle then enveloped Raiga in shower of energy and disappeared.
"You're English sucks, so I have to cast the translation spell on you."
"Excuuse me for not being multilingual."
"Hey it's good to have talents. Now lets go.
As they arrived in town, they saw that most of the adults were working.
"Wow, can't wait to see how this festival turns out."
"Focus on the mission and will decide what to do after."
"Fine."
Mythris town.
"Looks like the place." Seeing the building had a store sign with blue stone like texture and it had the name 'Mythris's Forgery'.
As they entered, the shop.
"Whoa." Raiga said in amazement, seeing the many weapons displayed.
"Hey, you kids I don't have time for requests." Said a voice from the back.
As the person came out, it was a man around his fifties, with a muscular build, short blond hair, gray eyes, he wore a white sleeveless shirt, jeans, and work boots.
"Ano, we're the ones that excepted the request." Zeru answered showing him the mission paper.
As the elder man took a look.
"Hm, show me your marks then."
The two teens then revealed their marks, the mark was that of a diagonal slash mark from a fang. Raiga's color was blue and it was on his right forearm. Zeru's mark was blue with a black outline and it was the side of his left arm.
"Hm, I'm surprised that they're letting kids join. How long have you brats been members?"
"Hey listen you old…"
SMACK.
"FUUCK!"
"Forgive me for my friends idiocy of not respecting the client." Zeru apologized after thrusting his elbow at his friend's side.
"Hmph don't worry I dealt with a lot of cocky brats like him. I take it you're the always calm one then?"
"Of course, now for the details."
"Ah right, well I got a request from someone for me to make him a mythril star, which one best art if I say so myself."
"So you're an artist?"
"Blacksmithing is art you know?"
"I see."
"What's so special about some metal?"
"It's a very valuable metal that is strong and easy to process into any weapon, equipment , and it's responsive to magic. So basically it's a good material to make magical enhanced weapons."
"Looks like you know you're mythril."
"I research."
"Well originally I had a design already fit, but then I decided to go with a new design. So with the mythril that I currently have, it won't be enough."
"I see, so you just want us to mine it for you?"
"That's it, usually I can just mine it myself, but I'll be busy with doing other by the way names William."
"Zeru."
"Raiga."
"Nice to meet you both. Hold on let me get you the proper equipment to mine the mythril." He said walking to the back room.
Later William arrived carrying a pickaxe, with a unique silver finish on the head.
"Alright, since the Mytrhil is a strong metal, use this hammer to break it down."
"I take it that pick axe is made out of mythril?"
"Yep, it's easier to mine mythril with. Alright then you brats, go the mines and get me a twenty nine pieces of mythril."
"Alright then anything else we should be wary of?"
"Just the rogue wildlife, also be careful there also sometimes bratty magicians come here also, since it's a local mine they don't ask permission."
"Got it, see trespassers get rid of them."
"Sweet! Finally time to kick some ass."
"Alright, then we will be leaving William-san."
"Get back here in two hours. That's when my client is coming."
Zeru and Raiga nodded as they left.
As the walked through the woods.
"Man I can't wait to use that weapon again." Raiga said in eagerness.
"I don't understand why do you bother even using that weapon, it's just going to malfunction again."
"Hey, why you have to be a hater on Azazel's weapons."
"Uh remember that time you got wound up in the hospital?"
"Please, that thing just had glitches. So I'm sure that this time, this weapon will be okay."
"*Sigh* Just don't overdo it."
"Not gonna happen buddy."
GROWWL
Suddenly a group of two creatures all green with yellow eyes and claws, and they all stood on all twos.
"Alright, time to get bust some heads."
Zeru then brought his hand to stop him.
"I'll take this one." He said taking out the two handles.
"What? Come on with my weapon, I can easily waste these guys."
"I just want to test these out for a bit."
As he activated the weapons by pressing on a switch, located on each hilt.
"Hm that's an interesting design."
The hilts then erected vertical green colored energy blades from bottom of the hilt. Giving it a tonfa like appearance.
"Hm, so he decides to make energy based weapons now. Well then lets see how these work *gets to a battle stance.*"
As the creatures came at him, he blocked their attacks with the new energy tonfas.
"Hm despite the amount of pressure it took, it still maintains it's form, and the energy is still solild. Alright then, time to test out it's offensive power.
With beast then backed away, readying to attack again.
"Hey! Hurry up, we have to finish this job quick!"
"*Sigh*Fine."
The other two creatures the attacked, Zeru then dodged the incoming attacks and rammed with both tonfas at both creature's stomach.
As the attack made contact, it pushed them back .
"Hm despite the bladed tip, it just pushes the enemy back, like a regular tonfa."
"Hurry up!"
The creatures got back up and came at him again.
He then created a magic circle underneath his feet, which then made his entire body glowed. In an instant he disappeared and immediately appeared in front of them. With the creatures startled by the sudden appearance of their prey, he immediately attacked with a flurry of jabs at hyper speed thanks the enhanced speed spell he casted upon himself. After the rapid succession of jabs, the tonfas then began to charge up. As he strikes with his tonfas, the front end of the tonfas extended and increased the energy output. The attack hit, causing the enemies to be pushed back against some trees.
"I guess those weapons aren't weak." Raiga commented.
Zeru then noticed the aftermath of his technique , on the ground were the two creatures now knocked out .
"Hm so he added a charge function to the weapons as well." He commented based on the
"Hm so the charge output I used was only thirty percent. The defense rank of it was C , Offense rank is D but when charged it increases and it compensates by using increased speed attacks. Charge rate varies depending on the output of the attack. . So far I just need to find out does the energy last when I leave it active."
"You done yet?"
"Yeah, how long did the fight took?"
"*Checks his watch* about twelve minutes."
"Alright then lets go."
As they arrived at the entrance of the mine.
"Alright lets get this over with."
As they entered the mine, there were many lights attached to the ceiling, making it well lit.
"So think we can mine from the walls." Raiga asks seeing that the walls had shards of the silver metal embedded into the wall.
"That's won't do we have to look for bigger chunks."
"Fine *rolled his eyes.*"
As they walked through the mine.
"Find any thing yet?"
"No."
"Now?"
"No."
"Now?"
"No, for the last fortieth second time."
"Dam this is hard to get out." Said voice from the distance.
"Shit guess this thing really is responsive to magic."
"Lets just break this thing!"
"Hey we want this in good condition for when we sell it."
"Wonder what's going on?"
"Sounds like a bunch of bitches."
As the two, headed to the source of the commotion.
"Guh what do we do now?"
"Excuse me."
The three turned to see the two Guild members.
There were three adults, which looked like a bunch of delinquents, one had a Mohawk and was a leather vest shirtless, jeans, and sneaker. The other had a large build, bald a couple of small scars on the scalp, a leather jacket, white shirt, and biker ripped jeans. The last, one was shorter than the two, wearing a mage rope underneath a green long-sleeved shirt, khakis, and boots.
"Huh what do you want brat? We were here first!" yelled muscular person.
"*Whispers* Dude I'm getting a Team Rocket vibe from these guys."
"Really? Same here."
"Think one of us can take em?"
"I'm sensing some mana from them so it'll be tricky."
"Damn, so now what?"
"Hey are you two even paying attention!"
"Lets just lure them outside of here. We don't want to damage anything here."
"Alright."
"HEY!" The tall one yelled.
The two teens smirked and flipped them off and ran off."
"Grrr, get them!"
With that the three people chased after the teens.
As the two teens ran,
"So were gonna lure them out?"
"Yeah, we don't want to start a ruckus in the mine.
"YOU BRATS AREN'T GETTING AWAY!"
The two turned to see something glowed from the distant. The earth then began to rumble as a hand popped out of the ground, which then began to stretch after them.
"Earth magic huh?" Zeru commented.
"Tch this is annoying can I..."
"Wait until we get out."
"But you got to use your weapon!"
As the stretching arm made of earth was almost reaching to them.
"Raiga, here!" Zeru then brought his arm out casting a magic circle above Raiga, which then showered him with energy.
Feeling the familiar sensation of this spell, he stopped and faced the incoming spell head on.
"TAKE THIS!" With his body emanating a powerful aura, he punched at the enchanted earth breaking it into pieces.
"Dam that stung." Riaga commented
"Guess I should have used the level two version of that spell."
"Ya think?"
"Heh, with your recklessness anything is possible." He chuckled.
Meanwhile the magician who casted the spell, his circle dispersed meaning the spell inactive.
"What the hell?!"
"What kind of kids are they?"
"Who cares nobody flips us off and gets away , after them!"
As the three got out.
"Whoa, took em long enough."
"Well then, here we are, ready to fight?"
What they saw was the two teens, smirking with confidence. Which just pissed em off.
"Oh, here." He then summoned the suitcase containing his weapon.
"Finally." He opened the suitcase, which revealed a gigantic red zanbato, which was about 2 inches taller than him.
With a couple of swings from his sword, flames came out.
"Ah, did you miss me buddy…Yeah I miss you too." He said to his sword.
"So you're an Objektophile?"
"Shut up!"
Zeru then took out the two handles and ignited his energy tonfas.
"Oh you little brats have no idea what you're in for."
"Really, we just crushed one of your spells, so we know what we're up against." Zeru taunted
The three then each summoned a weapon, the tall one had a giant axe, the second one summoned a mace, and the other summoned a crossbow.
"Alright lets go!"
The large sword wielder then swung his in a horizontal slash, which created a wave of fire. As the flame attack came at them, the shortest of the trio then casted a green magic circle, which created a cyclone sucking up the flames. The attacks collide causing a steam to spread out the entire area.
"Dam it."
Zeru then charged at them
"Not so smart much is he?" smirked the crossbow wielder. He then aimed the weapon which tip of the arrow then began to glow. As he fired it, the crossbow created a loud noise as it shot the arrow at a high speed.
SLASH.
The arrow slashed in half, as he flipped the tonfa in reverse with the long end pointing out.
"So it can also has some cutting properties as well, oh and I have only seventy percent of energy before it dies out, wonder if I can use my mana as a substitute?" he commented staring at his weapon.
"Heh well I'll be that kid ain't bad and he was able to see that shot and he was able to use that spell" He commented seeing that his eyes were glowing.
The crossbow wielder's eyes glowed green as did his weapon which was now covered in whirlwind like aura.
"Hoh boy, time to see if wasting my time playing DDR were worth it." He said as saw the incoming high-speed arrows.
Meanwhile.
"Pfft an axe against sword? Bitch haven't you played fire emblem? Sword beats axe."
"Shut it brat!" The giant then swung his two handed axe at the sword wielding teen.
With one hand he quickly swung the sword in a vertical slash, aiming at the neck of the weapon hoping to break the axe. But as the attack hit the axe, it stopped.
"What?!" he exclaims as he couldn't budge against the weapon.
By looking closely the neck of the axe's texture change, instead of the silver metal it glowed red.
"Don't think that you're the only one that can control that element as well." Smirked the taller person whose eyes then began to glow red as fire.
"Shit." He backed away.
"Want to end this quick?" asked the mace wielder
"No, I got this one." Said the axe wielder as his entire axe then ignited into flames.
"Oh you think you're all that huh?! I'll show you whose flame is strong!" he yelled as his sword glowed which then caused him to be engulfed in a red aura.
"Come on then let's go. Brat." Taunted the axe wielder, as the young swordsman charged at him.
Back to the other fight.
"Left right left right spin left right right." He muttered as he moved accordingly to the steps as if he was playing DDR.
After managing to dodge the barrage of arrows. He casted the speed enhancement spell.
"Alright better turn off that spell before I get my eyes strained." He turned off the eye enhancement spell.
He then dashed at the crossbow wielder, at high speed.
As the crossbow wielder sees the incoming opponent. He notices an abnormal of energy building up.
"Interesting so he wants to end it one blow, cocky ain't he for a human."
He then holstered his cross bow and created a small magic circle in front of him.
Noticing what the wind magic wielder did. He started to become cautious.
"Dam. Must be some type of defense spell. It doesn't look like big, must be spell that must condense more power into the circle. Tch, I already have the Recoil Rods charged at hundred percent better wing it then."
As he reached his target, he immediately brought out the green bladed tonfas and thrust them forward at the spell. Upon contact, the recoil rods released a huge amount of power as it pushed the magic circle back.
"Heh, so this is its full power when charged, luckily they're still holding up." He commented noticing the tonfa handles weren't breaking down due to the amount of energy he was using.
The wind user, was surprised at the output of the unique weapons. So he backed away and a snapped his fingers, activating the magic circle. When activated it then released a pressure of wind back at him.
"GAH!" he was then blown back thanks to the spell and the recoil of his charged attack with the Rods.
His body then hit a tree on his back.
"FUCK!" he yelled in pain.
"Hey you all right?!" his friend called out as he was parrying the attack from ace wielder.
"Get back in the fight brat!" he yelled as he attacked, which Raiga then defended with his giant sword's flat edge as a shield. Managing to block the attack.
"Heh now I get it, those flames are coming from this weapon." He commented sensing the accumulated heat coming from the weapon.
"Guh." He struggled trying to maintain his stance.
"Give up kid, your flame is too weak." The fire user
"Shut up!"
Back to the other battle.
Activating the tonfas again, they released only sparks of energy.
"Fuck, I used it all up during that charged attack, it only as two percent of energy left." Zeru commented
He then stares at the newly arm mounted device.
"Well the best offense Is a good defense, now how the hell do I activate this weapon? Do I just press this there and *activates* A here we go." Pressing on white round object, it then began to make a noise as it started to spin. As it rotated the edges of the round object began to emanate green energy. When it kept on rotating the energy became large as it now looked like a green buzz saw.
"So much for going with the old fashion way of making weapons by hand." He commented noticing the technological features of his new weapons.
Zeru then got up, ready for round 2.
"Damn I been using the enhancement spells to quickly, only got enough mana for one more and it'll last for forty seconds But luckily I have some ether. Now how the fuck does this thing act like a boomerang?" during his trail of thought, arrows were firing at him.
"Crap." He brought his shield to defend him, as the arrows hit the shield it manged to block the attack. Arrow after arrow the shielded still maintained it's form.
"Okay defense is good, so far."
Another arrow came at him and this one was moving at a highspeed. As it hit the shiled it made a buzzing sound as it tried to piecered the shield. He then notices that that the energy shield began to slightly break due to the arrows being enhanced by magic.
He then ran with shield in front him as it blocked the projectiles coming towards him.
"Defense against projectiles attack is good, slightly need to improve the defense against magic enhanced projectiles."
The wind user then decided to ditch the weapon and used his magic. With a wave of his hand, part of Zeru's right sleeve was cut.
"Tch, this is gonna be tricky." He commented seeing that he can't read where the wind attack will come.
"HAH!"
Raiga jumped up in the air with his flaming zanbato, launching a downward strike. The man did a backhand strike with the axe. As the attacks both collided, a ring of fire burned around them.
"Grr."
Meanwhile as the third member of the trio watched the current fights.
"*Sigh* They're not gonna last for long., wasting their mana like that Damn, I should have picked a better body than this one. Oh well." he sighed as he sat down.
Zeru with his one eye glowing, was dodging the incoming wind attacks.
"Well focusing that enchantment on one eye is effective so far, but It's kind of straining." he commented on the use of applying the magical enhancement on his right eye.
He wind user, the pointed with his index finger, giving the impression of shooting a gun. green energy then began to gather around his finger tip. As the energy finished forming, it released a green beam covered in wind currents.
Seeing the attack, he immediately drank from the blue vial containing ether. With that he casted a magic circle which shot him up in the air, dodging the attack. Zeru was now standing in mid air, with the help of the magic circle he was standing on.
"Cocky kid...Damn this body sucks...Shit he ain't got any ether on him."
As Zeru observed the opponent, he already knew the identity of the trio. They were known as nothing but rogue delinquents that were kidded out of the Magic association, due to destructive behavior. Since then the those rogue magicans were just causing commotions and small towns, doing some robberies, and destructions of public property. Also they gained themselves a bounty, which was worth one hundred and ninety nine thousand yen(In Japanese currency terms.) To him this was gaining a good bonus to the mission he was getting.
But something was off, the information he gathered those three were supposed to be well known for using brute strength, over the use of spells, plus there knowledge in magic was supposed to be around D rank, and so far the level magic they were exhibiting could be counted as a middle class mage. What was more confusing is there affinity with their element magic, no magician can easily manipulate elements that well, unless it was a youkai or some other type of being.
He then stared at the ongoing fight between the leader of the trio against Raiga. So far the fight wasn't much doing good, since it seemed the Flame user was overpowering him.
"Had enough?"
Raiga panted, as he was covered slightly in burns.
"Not even close." he yelled as his sword then ignited into flames once again.
"Heh, I like you kid...No homo though."
Raiga sighed in relief that there was a battle maniac that had the decency to say those words, because after all the anime he watch when it showed two male rivals fighting each other it sometimes leads to yaoi innuendo.
Just then an object came flying at high speed. The man, then fired a fireball at the object, which surprisingly cut through the ball of flames. The object still came flying as targeted the tall person.
The man then attempted to block the flying blade with it's axe. The bladed then grinded against the axe, as it was covered in flames hoping it destroy the weapon.
The flying disc like weapon then ricocheted off the axe which then returned to it's owner.
"Pfft, about time you're here."
Zeru then landed next his friend, as he raised his arm up as the round shaped boomerang floated above his arm.
"Hm, the accuracy is about ninety percent, the offensive capabilities varies since it didn't made contact with the subject, and return back is good. It's a little bit burned but the weapon is still functioning well."
"What's this two against one?"
"I think you're good enough for two." Zeru said as he created a magic circle, which then summoned a basic one-handed medieval sword with a translucent blue blade..
"Hey hey, I'm taking on that kid as well." said the wind user floating down next to the flame wielder.
"Stay out of this Aeros! I can take em."
"Suck it Flaemis, I'ma gonnna win."
The two then looked at each other and nodded, as they then charged at their respective opponents.
The two element users each fired a ball made of their respective elements,
Just as the attacks was about to hit.
Zeru then got in front of the wind attack, slashing through the ball of wind.
"Tarunda." he muttered the name of the spell as, the magic circle released a wave of energy at the attack, causing the fireball's intensity to decrease , allowing him to slash through it with his sword.
Slashing the flame in half, the blade released water.
"Gotta love element infused weapons."
The sword glowed more creating a watery aura.
Just as the fire user was about cast another spell, his arm froze slightly.
"Dammit, not now." he muttered.
Without being able to do anything at that moment. He was hit by a crescent shape water attack.
"Fuck!"
Meanwhile.
"Shit I had to get the fire guy." commented the wind user as he knew his attack won't do good against a user of fire.
As the attack was about to hit him,
"Dam it."
His attack was blocked by a mace covered in earth, which managed to cause the flames to lessen.
"My turn."
"Tch, down in front!" yelled Aeros in an irritated tone.
"Go play with the other one than."
"Buut, Flaemis is in the way. Eryths you're such a jackass."
"Not my problem. Besides you two are already wasting your energy on these husks anyway."
"Tch."
The wind user named Aeros then flew away to the other ongoing battle.
Meanwhile.
"Guh." Flaemis was then hit by a wave of water from Zeru.
"Is that all?" he smirked.
"For a human, you're not bad yourself."
He then checks the watch.
"Fuck it's only been fifty minutes. Well we still have some time to mine the mythril after this."
Suddenly a gust of wind blew him back.
"Guh." he braced against the attack the gust pushed him slightly back.
"Hoh boy, is this kid actually giving you a hard time?" teased Aeros.
"Shut up."
"Well I'll be assisting you since Eryths is taking care of the other kid.
"As if I need help from an air head!"
"*Sigh* I have no choice then." Zeru then brought his hand pointing forward as a purple magic circle was casted. The magic circle had different runes on it and it began to emit sparks charging the spell.
Seeing the spell.
"Oi oi, is that kid actually using a demonic spell?" recognizing the aura the spell gave out.
"Heh, this should be fun."
As the spell stopped charging, blood began to leak from his arm.
"Demon Blast!"
With that that the magic circle then released a large wave of purple energy at the two.
"Whoa, who knew the kid can emit that much power. Time to counter."
The two element users then fired of their own attack, which was a fire attack wrapped in wind, increasing the power.
As the two attacks collided, the two attacks pushed against one another.
Meanwhile
Raiga and the earth user, clashed with their weapons. Even with the increased heat emanating from the sword, there attack were having no effect.
"Fucking hell, stupid pokemon logic of rock beats fire."
"Is that all you can do now?" he then brought out his free hand and fired a pillar of earth straight from his hand, pushing him back.
As Raiga started to pant in exhaustion.
"*Huff* " his sword's fierey aura then died down.
Erthys then appeared infront him readying to strike.
"Hell no bitch!" he swung his word quickly which broke the earth coating from the weapon breaking it in the process.
"Hah Steel beats rock!"
He then saw the fight between spells taking place.
"Shit he's using that again." he said, seeing that his friend was recklessly using demonic spells.
"Crap they're going to run out of time soon." Commented Erthys seeing the other two using their mana recklessly.
As he stared back at his oppenet, he was gone.
As the battle of spells continued.
"Geez this kid is something." commented Aeros seeing that the young spell user was able to maintain the use of a powerful spell.
Zeru's arm began to shake weakening from the strain of the spell and he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder knowing that he was at his limit.
"Shit, should I convert some of my life force as apart of my mana? No I'll just stall until…"
"OORYAH!"
From behind the two were hit by a giant sword.
"The show stopper comes." He smiled
"GAH." the to groaned as they were hit from behind, which then caused their spells to be undone. Now allowing Zeru's spell to push through.
"Heh, right on time."
Raiga then saw the incoming attack from his friend.
"Hey! Stop that already! I already beat em up!" he yelled comically as the attack came at him as well seeing that he was in the same spot as the opponents.
With that...BOOM!
As the smoke cleared.
"Hm well it seems that I've increased the impact." he remarked.
His right sleeve was now torn off and his arm was dripping blood.
Suddenly a blurred being appeared in front of him.
"Hey buddy, you seem alright."
"THE FUCK YOU MEAN ALRIGHT I ALMOST GOT KILLED FROM SAVING YOUR ASS!" Raiga yelled comically with his head grown into size like any anime character has when they yell angrily.
"And my ass thanks you. At least you survived thanks to your sword." he smiled.
He stares at his sword, which was now showing some slight cracks and scorch marks.
"Hm it's more durable this time. But it can be buffed out." He commented
"Let's just get this over with."
Suddenly the two fallen bodies then began to glow. As they glowed something came out of each of them. They were what appeared to be beings made out of energy one green and one red.
"Damm it, times up." said the red one.
"Well at least we had fun." said the green one.
"D Did I knock them dead to the point of their souls floating out of their bodies?"
"That's anime logic, so no it ain't that."
"Then what are they spirits?"
"Ding ding, dingus got it right!" said green spirit.
"What was that?!"
"*Sigh well it's about time we got out of those bodies, they fuckin sucked." commented the red spirit with a fiery aura.
"*Sigh*" sighed the brown one.
"So we were fighting a bunch of possessed douche bags."
"Pretty much."
"I take it you guys are Elemental spirits?"
"Sharp one ain't you?"
"Pretty much obvious, seeing that these fools don't even have precise control with their magic." Zeru then placed a seal on each of them.
"What are those?"
"Oh these are sealls that'll notify the authorites of the capture of these thugs. With that I'll be able to gain the bounty.."
"Wait these guys are wanted?"
"Yep and we're getting a bonus out of this also."
"Sweet. So what do we with these guys?" he Raiga points at the elemental spirts.
"Now hold up we didn't weren't involved with their crimes. After they did all that shit they went to a forest where we elemental spirits hang out. When they got there, they did what normal magicians do go to a special area where they can absorb our excess particles to boost up the affinity in a certain element they're good with. But those assholes were being greedy, so they decided to keep on sucking until we eventually got involved ."
"And the reason for being here getting mythril?"
"Hey we just went with the flow, and followed what they were planning on doing. So we just went by their instincts."
"So you guys were just looking for a good time?"
"Hell yeah being in that forest was boring as hell. Also being inside those dudes fun, not in a fun way."
"…."
"…"
"I mean like having a good body, those guy's bodies were full of dumb shit and low IQs."
"I guess that makes sense..."
"Hey is that a guild mark?" asks Flameis pointing at the tattoo showing on Zeru's bare arm.
"Yes."
"Hm hey sword weilder, wanna partner up?"
"Huh?"
"I'm asking if you want to be partners."
"Why?"
"Cause I bet if I hang out with you I might enjoy some fun, plus…."
The fire spirit then entered into his sword.
"Hey what are you…" as his sword was glowing red with a flame like aura. The aura then faded away his weapon with a complete different design giving it the appearance of armor. (If you watch Samurai Sentai Shikenger you'll know what it looks like.)
"Hmm, this weapon is so fucked inside, I mean the functioning of this sword isn't even right and what the hell a flame crystal as the sourse? Please those things need to be grinded down to be effectively used. But luckily with me as the source of the flames, your flame control will be more smoother rather than relying on gripping it hard. Man I can see it now, we're gonna reck some shit."
Staring in awe of his new weapon.
"Check it out, my Oversoul." He grinned.
Zeru face palmed himself, for his friend's idiocy of saying an anime reference.
"Let's go mine the mythril, we wasted enough time."
"Oi Kozo, wanna have a spirit ally as well?"
"Sorry, not interested. Besides I'm still trying to learn offense magic, so I would prefer to gain a better hand at it first."
"Geez what a kill joy, but if you change your mine use this." He then gives him a grass whistle.
"Blow it and I'll be there to help you. Lets go Eryths"
The spirit of earth nodded as they left.
"Heh heh, I am so gonna have fun with this." Raiga grinned.
"Put that away, and lets finish this up."
After they were done gathering the mythril, they headed back to the blacksmith.
"Hm that's about the right amount, good work, mind explain what the hell happened to you two?" he asks seeing the minor scratches and burns they had, along with Zeru's right arm now wrapped in bandages.
"We dealt with some trouble on the way, but everything's been sorted."
"I see. Well then time to get to work."
"So what about our…*gets hit on the head*"
"Why don't you be patient."
"Ah that's right the reward, here." He tosses them a pouch.
Upon opening the pouch, it was full of silver color dust.
"Seriously dust? After all the shit I have to deal…"
"Mythril dust. This'll come in handy." Zeru stores it away.
"Hey! How come you get something and I don't."
"You got an elemental spirit ally now and an upgrade to your weapon. Plus we're getting the reward for the bounty what else do you want?"
"Hmph."
"Whiney bitch."
"What was that?!"
"Hey if you two kids are going to fight, then do it outside."
"We're sorry." Zeru bowed in apology.
"Well let's go back to the guild then."
As they headed out of the shop.
"You go on a head, I be going somewhere. *Tosses him the Return Stone.*"
"You going to see that God?"
"Yeah, it won't be long."
"Alright then."
{So you think we can take another mission?} Flaemis asks.
"Not sure, if my girlfriend ain't here. Then we free."
{Ouch got a ball and chain eh heh heh.}
"Shut up. *grips on the stone and teleports off.*"
"Alright now to report to him." He then takes out a stone with a flame sympbol with a hammer in the middle. The stone glowed which teleported him.
Hephaestus's Forge.
He then appeared in cave, as he entered deep.
"Shit it's still fucking hot." Feeling the rising heat from the cave.
As he walked deep into the cave, showed many equipment's fit for black smithing, lava was running through the walls, and suprsingly there were computers and other technological stuff.
"Whoa he really has moved to the future."
Suddenly a chill ran through is spine.
"Shit she's…."
"Zeee-chaaan!" said the voice of a happy woman.
Sensing the killing intent or should I say glomping intent. He simply moved to the right as the incoming person missed her target.
"Mou~ Ze-chan. So mean~" Pouted the woman.
The woman was about a couple inches taller than him, had long blonde hair, blue-green eyes wearing white lingerie over a silk bed rope.
"Aphrodite-sama, please show some decency." He rubbed his temple, at his slowly growing mirgrian."
"Mou~ Ze-chan is stubborn, holding back his turn on." She then notices his bandaged arm.
"A re~ What happened to your arm Ze-chan?"
"It's nothing."
"Did you use a spell that was beyond the limit of your current mana?"
"How did you know?"
"A goddess knows everything."
"*Sigh* Where's Hephaestus-sama?"
"Heph-chan!"
"I'm here." Said the man that entered the forge.
The man seemed to be about in his young thirities, he was wearing a black muscle shirt with a brown apron for blacksmithing, jeans, work boots, and black work gloves.
"Hephaestus-sama." He bowed in respect.
"As usual you are respectful."
"As man of your stature it is customary."
"Heh, so how were the weapons?"
Zeru then hands him the weapons, along with the combat data.
Hephaestus then placed the weapons under a device when the released in infrared light.
"Uh…"
Aprhrodite then leaned into his ear.
"Ever since Harem Baka, started making weapons. Heph-chan decided to upgrade his blacksmithing alittle."
"I see…"
"So are you going to seek a summer romance?" she asks eagerly with stars in her eyes.
"No." he said bluntly.
"Mou~ Why noooot?"
"I don't' see the benefits of having a relationship."
"Well you always get to embrace each other, kiss, show of a different side that nobody knows you have only to that person, go on dates, and some special things in beeed."
"…" He then walks to the God of fire.
The goddess of love puffed her cheeks in annoyance at the young man, who had no interest in love.
"So did it help?"
"Well based on the data I'm got, the seem to need so adjustments, especially the Recoil Rod. Hm, you didn't use the Boomerang Shield much?"
"The only time I used it was to intercept an attack. I'll be sure to get more thorough data."
The blacksmith god then took the inactive Boomerang shield and gave it back to him.
"See that you do. Also I have another errand for you to do."
"What is it then?"
"I want you to go to one of the Nine Realms."
"So you want me to go to…"
"No not Vahalla. You'll be going to Nidavellir."
"The realm of the Dwarves?"
"I just need some materials from them is all."
"Can't you ask the king?"
"Heh, you kidding me, these days now everything's all a mess. That foolish God of the Bible, gave weapons for humans with some of them housing powerful creatures that are able to kill us, those bats can't put a leash on their servants now going rouge, that stupid crow thinks he can play god and dub his weapons with the word 'Sacred', and my dad is being all cautious and has me making weapons.
"I see."
"You have until a week, so you have some time to spend during your break."
"Thank you… Anything else?"
"Nope that's it, better leave now or Miss Lovey dovey, thinks of some weird ideas."
"HEY!" The goddess of love puffed her cheeks.
"Right...Shit I forgot I gave my friend my return stone."
"Fine I'll transport you back. *creates a teleportation circle underneath Zeru's feet.*"
"Thanks." He was then teleported out of the forge.
Azure Fang Guild.
As he arrived.
"I heard the mission was a success." Commented the eye patched guild master.
"Yes it was okay. So where's Lon'qu?" he asks referring to what happened to one of the S-class ranked members of the guild.
"Oh you know, he's took one of the long missions."
"I see."
"So what are you going to do during the summer?"
"Just do some missions here, and do other things that interest me."
"Not much of a broad horizon you have."
"Well I'm just not an outrageous type of person."
"Gahaha, you really are an opposite to your father. Well don't get into trouble."
"Yes sir. *Sigh* Now to…."
"Zeru!" screamed his senpai that was only a year older than him.
"What is it Touko-san?"
"Mou~ Stop adding that honorific to my name!"
"But I can't help it, seeing you whine like that entices me."
"It's true Touko-chan, does look cute." Commented her younger brother.
"Mou~ Tsukumo not you too!"
Zeru chuckled at seeing the banter between the siblings.
Suddenly he was immediately hugged and his face was placed onto something soft and it felt like his was between two objects.
"Auntie, get off me."
"Hoh, is that how you act when your favorite aunt decides to see her cute nephew." Teased the woman tightening the hug, causing his face to press into her chest.
"Auntie…"
The woman had teal short hair, looked around her late thirties, wore a black jacket, a white short sleeve shirt which showed her mid riff, jeans, and black boots.
Letting the boy off her chest, she saw that he had no signed of blush on his cheeks or signs of an embarrassed expression.
"Tch, you're such a wall. Aren't you're suppose to be at the age when you're hormones are running. Man, you're looking like a stiff…*She then leans into his ear* Want me to stimulate you?" she whispered seductively.
"Dam it man!" said his friend Raiga walking up to him.
"What?"
"It's no fair that you have a hot relative that's willing to hit on you, plus you get oppai faced!"
"You do realize that Yamato Satuski aka your Girlfriend is behind you? And aslo she isn't like a blood relative. She's just a friend of my parents."
Suddenly the sounds of knuckles cracking were heard behind the hotheaded teen.
"See ya."
"Hold on." Natalia then grabbed onto the back of his collar.
She then stares at his bandaged arm.
"Again?" she sighed.
"Yes…"
Natalia then immediately took of his hoodie, pulled up his shirt as well, and unwrapping the bandage of his right arm.
"Kya!" Touko blushed covering her face upon seeing his bare upper body.
"Do you have to do this in front of people?"
"Hey you want this fixed or not?"
"Do it quickly.
Natalia then tapped with her first index finger, which then caused his black to glow revealing a stream of energy in his body. At right section of his arm the stream of energy that was flowing, allthough it didn't' flow well as if it was disrupted. Also it seemed that the rest of his mana, didn't seem to be active seeing that they didn't flow.
"Mataku, you used demonic spells again didn't you. You know that with your mana limited, those types of spells will put a strain on them." She then touches at the disrupted point of his mana stream, which then glowed and began to flow regularly now.
"I know, I just wanted to test them out."
"Keep doing like that I'm not going to unlock allow you full access to your full mana."
"Hey it ain't my fault I like to test out spells and by the way not being able to teleport to different areas is boring. I'm tired of teleporting by short distances." He pouted
"Well I can't have you being irresponsible with using magic can I?"
"Students at the Magic Association don't have to deal with this crap."
"Well if you weren't so mischievous then I would trust you."
"Really?"Says the alcoholic and the half Succubus who uses her charms to get whatever she wants."
"Hey! *ruffles his hair.*"
Zeru then puts his shirt back on.
"So how long are you going to be here?"
"Hm not sure depends on what mission I take is worth wile."
Suddenly a magic circle appeared on the palm of his hand which was a sack full of money."
"Where did you get that?"
"Bounty from dealing with C-rank guys."
"How much?"
"Hundred and ninety."
The sack was immediately taken.
"Sorry, low on cash, so I'll be borrowing this." She said heading to the bar section of the Guild building.
"…."
"Zeru-kun…" Touko said in a slight fearful tone, knowing what happens when someone takes his money, which he worked for.
Zeru then breathed out.
"Well she just got here, I'll let it slide."
"Ah, Zeru-kun." Touko came after him.
"What?"
Touoko then took something out of a shopping bag. It was key chain of a chibi neko wearing a ran coat holding a fish.
Upon seeing that his eyes had stars starring in awe of how cute that key chain looked.
"Do you want it?" she asks tauntingly.
He immediately yanked it.
"Arigato."
Touko giggled, seeing the neko lover enjoying the gift.
"Geez man, why don't you just date a neko girl." Raiga said.
Suddenly the air turned tensed and then…
"WHOA HEY MAN TAKE IT EASY!" he pleaded as his friend grabbed by the front of his shirt pinning him to the wall.
"Never in my life will I ever ever EVER be into neko girls. They are nothing but a males perverted view of the innocent cute species of cats."
"Okay I get it no on the Neko girls."
Zeru then let go and sighed.
"So what happens if you meet a neko girl?" Asks his aunt who was drinking a bottle of beer.
"Nothing, I won't view any signs of attraction at all."
"Then if you meet a youkai, what would suit your taste?"
"…I don't have to answer such a dumb question."
"Well then how about we go home together?" Natalia suggested.
"Why?"
"Why? Aren't I family? Shouldn't I be allowed to sleep in the same house as my nephew?"
"I suppose that's fine…"
"Good."
Hyoudou Residense.
"Tadaima." Zeru greeted as he entered.
"Welcome home Zeru-kun. Ah Natalia, it's been a while."
"Ohayo, Misako." Natalia greeted.
Suddenly sounds of footsteps were heard.
"Sheesh, guess his sensor was on."
"Natalia-saan!" said the voice of an active perverted young boy as he rushed to hug or should I say feel the touch of a mature women's oppai.
"That kid is still an active pervert I see." She said moving to the left, dodging the attack, making the pervert boy fall flat on his face.
"Unfortunately." Misako sighed.
Zeru then picked his brother, carrying him over his shoulder.
"I'll deal with him." He said heading upstairs.
