"Lux what do we do? Are they even ready? We weren't expecting this letter so soon." Ric said worried.
"Yea this is pretty bad. We can't leave our students like this. They can't beat their rivals at their state." Lux agreed.
"Maybe we can delay the call." Ric suggested. "Yea I got a plan now. You explain all the basics and make sure to help them get ready. I'll stall the calling for as long as possible. We eventually have to go." Lux said.
"Alright. Let's do it. But they deserve to know why we leaving." Ric said "Ok." As Lux left to fulfill his task.
10 minutes later
"Where is Lux?"Zetsu asked.
"He went to do something important… We only have a short time to train. Me and Lux were called to the frontlines in the war. We can't decline for the good of our nation. So we have a short time to train. I know a couple tips on rogue though. So bear with it." Ric said. "WHAT BUT HOW WILL I GET STRONGER. YOU BOTH ARE ABANDONING US! HOW DO YOU EXPECT US TO GET STRONGER!" Zetsu shouted in rage. "They are being called they have to defend the nation and help this nation become the best. Calm down please." Aaron trying to calm the outraged friend. "EASY FOR YOU TO SAY YOU AREN'T LOSING YOUR MASTER." Zetsu yelled. "But I'm leaving soon. So I'll explain stuff. After floor 3 you can't progress to floor 4. You must talk to quest manager Roy who gives access to next floors after you prove you're worthy for it. We accept people by skill instead of age. And when you need better gear you can talk to the stall manager who will show you better gear. And the item shop sells return wings to easily escape danger." Ric said hoping the mad rogue is calmed down.
"Ok…" Both disciples said in gloom that their masters are leaving. "Now as a rogue you can hide quickly but try to move slowly or it'll expose your hiding. You can also use it to escape a danger and rest a bit." Ric said. "Wide fangs is a good way to do damage against something when you're at a tough angle to shoot. But also a way to pin opponents into a corner or to lead them away to help you get away. "Now when the boss arrives I'll kill it." Ric said
Next day
"It's here, now watch." Ric said. "Lux is doing well to delay the call. Normally people are sent moment they get it. But a full 28 hours." Ric thought
ROOAARR as the huge beast came towards Ric the gunslinger charged his skill he mastered as a gambit. "LASER SHOT! Once I kill him I will leave!" Ric shouted. If you want to join the war you must sign up when you defeat floor 6 to prove your worth." The huge laser directly on the dragon as it tried to pounce on Ric. The dragon back up and and quickly used a green vertical slash at Ric which came directly towards him at a immense speed. Ric quickly dodged to the right and used reflex to prevent the boss to get closer but the giant beast went straight into it and gave another pounce. Even though the beast successfully passed through it sustained damage and Ric dodged once more to give a quick strike. "ASSAULT BARRAGE!" Ric jumped with a multi shot but the power was much stronger and focused. Ric kept up the assault non-stop leaving the dragon at the ground injured.
RUMBLE RUMBLE the ground shook. "GET BACK NOW!" Ric shouted. The boss got up and summoned a huge vertical pillar blast around it. The blast nearly missed its target and summoned another blast but was a shape of a energy ball. Ric back up quickly and charged his attack as well. Both enemies charged their attack. The beast was first to unleash its attack of a big energized ball. "LASER SHOT!" Ric shouted with another huge blast of energy. The 2 attacks collided with immense power but the laser shot overpowered and break through the energy ball hitting the dragon for the final blow. The beast fell to the ground defeated. And with that Ric was gone and left the two students on their own.
"That was cool." Aaron said "Yea but we are on our own now." Zetsu reminded.
"We won't ever die. We'll get stronger even on our owns. We will beat kyrin and ketsin." Zestu said determined to face anything he will encounter.
