Arnos put on his hood before anyone could see his face. He was surrounded by 3 men.
"You stole our prey... Hahahahaha... After we kill you we'll take all the stuff you have and hide your body. You'll suffer a painful death." A man laughed wickedly.
"Boss... Maybe we shouldn't mess with him. He bet the Acidic Horned Deer by himself." A high pitched voice said.
"Shut up Vixen, if it weren't the fact you're friends with the guild leader I would've left you to starve a long time ago."
'I see so I was wrong, it's a girl with a guy and that must be the, so called boss.'
"Why so cocky man? You really think you can kill me? Anyhow it's your fault you lost the deer not mine. I don't want to kill you so byeeee."
He disappeared and the remaining people just stood there.
"We should've hired him Carter."
"Whatever, don't use my first name when we're out on a mission. Let's report this guy to guild leader."
"He'll be mad though that we didn't kill the Acidic Horned Deer."
"For the last time I Don't Care About Your OPINION."
On his way back to the cabin he had heard how the man talked to that girl named, Vixen. 'I feel bad for her, what was that guild they were talking about though? I'll ask Master Romeus."
Arnos arrived back at the cabin. He took out the animals from his void pouch and laid them there and called out.
"MASTER ROMEUS!!! I'm back!"
A hooded man came out. He took off his hood and looked at the creatures.
"Ah, good job Arnos there are more than we nee-" "Wait. Is that- How did you kill it?"
"Hehe, skill." Arnos boasted.
"You don't have skill."
'Ouch that hurt.'
"Anyways I'm going to skin these animals help me carry them inside."
"Can't be use our void pouch?"
"Are you lazy or do you want to argue with me?"
They carried the animals in and Master Romeus skinned the animals. He started cooking and Arnos helped chop some vegetables.
During the meal Master Romeus explained about guilds.
Guilds are formed by paying 200 gold. The guild leader position is opened to anyone. It is mainly the person who founded the guild. Of course most cases the guild leader is the strongest in the guild. There are some guilds that are not to be messed with. Some guilds are really small so you wouldn't know who they are. Guilds consist of different people with different masteries like, knights, mages or more common ones like, archer, tank or melee fighter. There of course are others that are rarer that include very much needed skill like assassins or healers/supporters. Then we have the ones like what we are Silent Walkers, Death Bringers, Double Wielders and many more.
After listening to the explanation he was pretty amazed.
'Damn, that's pretty cool.'
The rest of the night went well. Arnos went to sleep and got ready to train the next morning.
He awoke and decided to just drink a cup of water.
Arnos was outside and stretched.
"Early huh, I hope you've improved."
He didn't reply and got ready to run.
As soon as Master Romeus said go he took off. He kept a steady pace but was a lot faster than last time. He hit the halfway mark without breaking a sweat.
"Good job, you finished in 20 minutes. That's 10 minutes faster than last time, well done."
"Oh, by the way. No break today I want to teach you two skills today, of course you haven't completely mastered the first skill but you're unique. Go drink and rest for 15 minutes, meet me out at the training grounds."
Arnos was very proud of himself, he decided to look in the mirror to see if there were any changes to his body. He realized that he looked a bit more firm and less skinny. He drank some water and used Shadow Vanish to get to the training grounds. He tried to scare Master Romeus but that didn't work.
"BOO!"
He turned around and just sighed.
"You can't scare me that easily."
"Wait, how did you know I was there?"
"That's the next skill I'll teach you. It's called Presence Seeker. It is good against assassins. That's why I chose you, you have the right mind for this. Focus your mind and open your eyes in your head. I know that sounds weird but just try it."
Arnos took a deep breath in and closed eyes. He then tried what he had told him to do. Amazingly blurry lights came into focus and he could see a character jumping on him from behind. He did a quick 180 turn and used Shadow Vanish.
"Impressive, that's crazy how you learnt it so quick. Now since you know it now let's have a quick sparring match." Master Romeus said not caring that he had just learnt the skill.
Meanwhile at the Cresent Guild.
A man was on his knees apologizing and apologizing.
"Hahah, I've warned you don't talk to Vixen like you own her. Sigh, this is supposed to be a friendly adventure guild. Please this is the last warning, if Apollo wasn't there. I don't know what would've happened. You're dismissed."
A girl looked at the man on the ground glaring at her and shivered. She turned to Apollo and thanked him. She was replied with a slight nod. Vixen walked out of the guild grounds and climbed up a tree. She pulled out her double stringed bow and shot. A devastating cry let out.
'Who was that mysterious boy? How did he disappear? Was he a spy from a different guild or was he just passing by. What was his mastery?'
The Cresent guild leader sat down at his desk. He was quite curious on who they were talking about. The boy they described didn't fit any of the masteries he could think of. The only one he could get close to would be assassin.
Back to Arnos.
Presence Seeker, activate, Shadow vanish. Strike to the right and lift up. Arnos lashes out and Master Romeus barely blocked it.
"You are very unique, already able to use the skill in combat." Master Romeus said whirl wiping off some sweat
"If you're wondering why I'm teaching you 2 skills today is because I need to go somewhere for a week. I didn't know I had to go so soon so change of plans. I'll teach you everything that I know you're prepared for. I think you'll learn quick enough. Also you can cook right?"
"Yeah I can but where are you going?"
"I was called by an old friend, yeah let's just say an old friend of mine."
He had been training for 6 hours yeah 6! Halfway through they had a short lunch and back to training. Arnos had learnt a lot today and his body had grown stronger. In the afternoon they went hunting together for fun and experience.
Arnos was lying on his bed. Master Romeus had left him with a dummy to spar with that could change levels and different roles. (Only the common/rare ones though.) He had upped his strength and speed today. He's learnt 5 skills in total so far.
Shadow Vanish- The Ability to seem like you've completely disappeared and reappeared in a different area. Radius depends on how fast you move it can range from 3-150meters.
Presence Seeker- The Ability to know where one is. It is able to see their hidden opponent that is not visible to the human eye.
Leap- Jump 3-10 meters in the air to avoid or escape the enemy.
Wall Dash- Can walk on walls up to 4-8 meters. Can depend how fast you may run/walk.
Triple slash- Only available by using a tralent. When in the air 3 slashes will come down and go towards the enemy.
'I hope the next following week won't be too bad. I don't want to get into some trouble.'
"Tsk, only 2 days of training and he's confident I can be by myself for a whole week. I mean he did say I was unique and my skill learning is very quick. On the other hand it must be very important."
'Whatever I'll go to sleep now, too bad I still have to run 25 laps in the morning each day. At least I get less plates to wash and more breaks.'
