Carrina quickly runs up the steps and squats beside Mia.
"She was born with exceptional gifts, the scryers tried to strip her from her family. When her family fought back, they were, um."
She stops and looks to me.
"I understand."
I reply as she pushes Mia's hair behind her ears. Warren quickly speaks up while I see Blankk and Azeroth walking towards us.
"So, what are her abilities?"
Warren asks as Carrina looks to us.
"Her abilities are unique. Before her, it was believed to be impossible to have two of the same ability. Also, Mia has four abilities."
Carrina says as Blankk and Warren both stare, confused. Azeroth looks at me.
"Wait, is having four abilities rare?"
Azeroth asks as I nod slowly. Warren speaks up again.
"Again, what are her abilities?"
He asks once more as Carrina looks at Mia.
Mia smiles and speaks as she opens her stats.
"I have: Gain Stats Faster one hundred times faster, Physical Prowess eight times, and Mental Prowess nine times greater."
She says as I smile.
With a few years of training, she would be a valuable asset to our team.
I think as Azeroth speaks up.
"So what is her current score?"
He asks as Mia giggles and looks at her stats.
"Big sister told me to add everything together, which would equal: one-thousand two-hundred and thirteen."
She says as I stare in disbelief.
That's incredible. She's already in S-Class? Or at least, she's very close.
I smile and walk up the stairs slowly. Carrina glares at me as I approach Mia. I squat down and hold out my hand. I smile lightly and tilt my head.
"My name's Dante. Mia is a very pretty name."
I say as she giggles and takes my hand.
"It's short for Miala, the goddess of redemption."
She says as I nod.
"I can't say I know who that is, but I'd be interested to learn."
I say as she jumps up and down.
"Oh! Oh! I also like to draw! Would you like to see my drawings?"
She asks as I nod and she pulls me towards her room weakly.
She didn't invest hardly any point into strength, I wonder if they went towards speed and agility? Or maybe constitution if she was scared of dying? No, I believe she put them into intelligence.
I think as I walk into her room with her. She has vibrant pink walls and very elaborate drawings all over the walls.
"This is my favorite!"
She says as she hands me a piece of paper. The drawing has a man with messy white hair defending her.
"Is this somebody you've met?"
I ask calmly as she nods.
"He's very strong. When papa died, he protected me. They even went to fight over a large city, it was incredible!"
She says as I smile and look at the picture.
"So, would you say the man in this picture is stronger than you?"
I ask as she nods happily.
"I don't believe anyone could beat him on their own, his score had to be over fourteen thousand."
She says as I nod.
Then I need to find this man. If he is that strong, he could be able to strengthen our guild further.
I think as I hand the drawing back to the girl.
"Would you happen to know where he is?"
I ask as she looks at the drawing, then to me.
"Of course, he's never too far away. Right now, I think you could find him in the most northern city of Sathric. If he's not there, he may be training in Vel."
She says as I stare at her shocked.
How would she know about Vel? No, Carrina probably told her as a bedtime story. Vel, the continent of monsters. Where the strongest creatures on the planet go to fight and live. But if I remember the legend correctly, the lowest level creatures in Vel were over level 140?
I hear footsteps enter the room while I'm thinking.
"I took Mia in when she had nowhere to go. I care for her now, and I refuse to leave her."
Carrina says as I nod.
"Why not bring her with us, I'm sure she wouldn't mind adventuring."
I say as Mia jumps anxiously.
"I really want to explore the outside world, but Carrina says it's too dangerous."
Mia says while pouting. I laugh and look to Carrina.
"How long are you going to keep her locked up? Depriving her from experiencing life? Especially when her score is probably higher than yours?"
I ask as Carrina punches me in the chest.
[-480 HP]
[+480 HP]
I see her struggling to keep her composure.
"I..."
I mumble as she looks at me and glares into my eyes.
"I will not put her in harm's way."
Carrina says as I nod and walk passed her.
"I'm going to go find this man she speaks of, I'm going to see if maybe he wants to join us. Of course I'm not leaving now, I'll wait until Vex is rested."
I say, looking over my shoulder towards Carrina.
"Keep her sheltered and craving the outside world. Keep Mia under your thumb, keep her enslaved to your will. I'm sure she could leave whenever she wants."
I say as I walk down stairs and towards Vex. I sit down quickly and take a deep breath.
Getting Mia on my team would be nice, but she won't break her bond with Carrina that easily. More importantly, I need to find that man with white hair. I've memorized how he looked in her drawing, but she might've added or removed features to make him look better.
I think as I yawn and feel my eyes getting heavy.
"I have been awake for a while, I should take a small nap."
I lean back in the chair and close my eyes. I have no dreams and wake up almost as though I blinked. As I stand up and stretch, I notice Vex isn't in the bed anymore. I look around and see him doing pushups in the main room. As I walk closer I see he is balancing on his hand with the rest of his body off the ground.
He stands up, showing his lean figure and ripped abs.
"Good morning, I'm just doing a warmup to get the day started."
He says as he does a backflip and lands into a squat. He follows it up by doing a forward flip and landing into another squat.
He's seriously overdoing this workout. Or maybe he's just trying to show off.
