Today there has been a huge storm in Eden, rain fell without stop for countless hours while the civilians were resting in their homes. At the moment, a human figure was standing on top of the HQ of the Divine guardians. He stared at the dark clouds brimming with thunder and lighting with a slight fear.
"Are you sure about this?" The figure rose his voice even when knowing he was alone over there. However a voice soon responded to his question.
[How could I be wrong. You are different from others, your power comes from within yourself while theirs come from the nature. There are lower risks using your own power, but as you can produce your own energy. All of the lightning you have been using is from the energy got eating food and this is why you were so weak at that time. Therefore, you need to constantly recharge your energy by consuming a lot of food or absorbing thunderbolts and converting it into energy.]
"I understood this part, but..." Lightning, attracted by Rick's aura, fell with full force on him and the later only had time to clench his body to resist it. Rick was half-knelt on the ground after being hit by the thunderbolt, and a burst of black blood spurted out. Instead of pain, a reassuring and pleasant feeling spread all over his body. Feeling the new but intense energy made him feel happy and look at the sky before waiting for more thunderbolts to hit him.
....
At the northern sector, three elemental masters were following a lone girl in the dark. The girl had a light brown hair and her face was ordinary for any that stared at her without looking closely, sometimes she would stared at the top of a house where a blue men was waiting on top of a house, holding a sniper rifle and aiming at the three elemental masters while signaling to continue.
When the girl stopped by a dark alley without anyone else the three of them stepped closer only to be startled by a gunshot not far away. A blue line ripped the wind as it moved faster than lightning toward the three.
Bang! With a perfect shot, their legs suddenly exploded and a one-armed man with a long dark blue hair holding a sniper appeared just before them. Searching their clothes as they stared in tears at the man, but there was nothing they could do. Soon the blue-haired man found three badges in the shape of three different beasts.
"Well done, Mystic. We managed to attract and take down three members of the church of the beast gods."
"It does not matter much. I'm just a ordinary member of the divine guardians while you are very close to the divine six and can use such a strange power. It has been only six months since the higher ups sent you to me as a apprentice and this old woman could not be more surprised. You should be close to break into the second stage right, Shocker?" The brown-haired girl spoke with a old voice before her appearance changed to a middle-aged beauty.
Rick or Shocker as he became known in the divine guardians was sent to a skilled learn from a assassin for six months and his skills were improved a lot compared to before. He could fight skillfully with almost any weapon he had in hand and even having one arm less didn't made him weaker. Everyday, this teacher of his would send him on many missions. From rescuing the daughter of a noble and killing terrorists. And despite being scary, he could not say this teacher of his was a bad teacher.
"I received a call from Ares. He want to see me tomorrow morning."
"Then you should go rest for now. Go walk around the city, prevented you from having a normal life."
