Chapter 9 - Making friends

After a nights rest we were told to assemble in the courtyard to collect our elemental techniques.

As I was heading to the courtyard someone called out

"hey you, wait up"

I looked back and saw a slim guy running towards me

"What do you want"

"Nothing much, I thought we could be friends since we might end up getting recruited into the same sect, name's Alex by the way Alex Gale."

'Alex Gale... This was the name of one of another Great magus in my past life, they called him the wind devil'

"Hello Alex I'm Damien"

"I knew you would've been friendly, what sect do you hope to join, I wanna join the 7 elemental peaks sect"

"Same here, lets go line up before we arrive late"

"Sure"

'Welcome, you are all gathered here to become a magus and join a sect, but in order to do so you need to prove your worth, you will be given elemental manuals with all the same power, your goal is to comprehend it to minor proficiency within these 2 months.'

I went to the teacher

"Hello sir, I'm Damien one of the children that were told to practice"

"Hello Damien, I'm Noir what do you want?"

"Are we allowed to go into the beast forest, back in my home town I often hunt monsters to practice"

"Oh what types of monsters?"

"Just goblins"

"Oh well you can go into the forest but you shouldn't go deep inside"

"Oh then I'm off thanks"

'Hmm, goblins are G1 level 3monsters and they travel in groups,Average adults can't kill them."

As I was heading out the gate

"Yo Damien wait up"

"Oh Alex what's up"

"I saw you were heading out to the forest, are you gonna practice your element proficiency on monsters?"

"Yes why you wanna come?"

"Sure but are we gonna go alone, I hunted monsters in the forest in my home town but my father helped me he was an peak intermediate warrior, but I killed G1 lvl1 monsters by myself"

"We can go alone as long as we don't encounter a G1 L5 monster we'll be ok"

"G1 lvl 5!?, can you kill a G1 L4?"

"Not sure but I know I can run from it"

"Then what about me?.."

"Hope you can run fast"

".."

After we got to the Beast Forest

We found a G1 Lvl 2 wolf

"Alex wait here"

"Jeff, is there a way for me to hide my shadow armour?"

"Yes host simply think 'disable appearance'"

"Ok"

'Disable appearance'

I then put on the shadow gear

I looked at Alex and his focus was on the wolf

I dashed to a near tree and activated stealth

I took my bow out and aimed when I was at a 15ft mark

'Whoosh'

Dd

1540

The wolf began charging at me and

I jumped to the side and said Alex attack

I began casting HSSTT I trapped the wolf in a net, with both of us dealing

126 dps the wolf was dead quite soon

We began hunting like this couple more times when Alex said he had enough and was going back I said I'll continue for a while longer

I head deeper into the forest where I found G1 L3 wolves and bears.

With the claws,pelts and monster cores I was getting I thought it was time to use my boosters.

"What's my current bow mastery"

"Lvl2 host"

"Use one of everything"

"Processing"

"Complete"

"I then began a hunting frenzy"

.....

After a while I decided to leave but as I was deeper I got out on the road, when I heard

'Stop, stop, somebody help me'

I activated my stealth and rushed towards the

voice, where I saw a girl being dragged away by 5 men, I scanned them all the strongest was only a mid apprentice warrior

I held my bow straight and aim for his head

With a whoosh he was dead

I enter stealth and dealt with the rest

I got to her and asked

"You alright miss?, I'm Damien by the way"

"Yes I'm fine thank you, but you see.... I'm a boy"

"Huh"

He just looked back at me and I did the same with a blank stare.

"Are you here for the sect recruiting?"

"Uh huh"

'This looks just like girl'

"Anyway let's head back,what's your name by the way?"

"I'm Acaris Flamesworth, fire magus in training"

I headed back where I found Alex

"Yo, Damien who's the girl"

"This is Acaris, he's a fire mage, and this is Alex a wind mage like myself"

"Wait 'he's?'"

"Acaris is a boy"

"Sorry for the confusion"

We headed back to our courtyards to get some sleep, and just like that I made two friends

[sorry I didn't upload I was feeling sick and slept from 6am-8pm then I woke up with a headache]
