Junya remembered and looked at his Elo Command.

"It's 5 now"
Alice nodded then smiled, "I was right to buy these. This calls for a celebration". She walked out of the grilled section and came back with two paper bags.
Junya was confused, not sure what use paper bags even had, nor what the celebration was for.
She handed him his bag and Junya opened it. His eyes widened when he looked into the bag. So much so that he had to look back at Alice.
"Is this..."
"Yes, WcDonalds. Congrats on becoming a D- Rate Hunter"
Junya was shocked. Back in Berger Town, WcDonalds was only for the rich and was located in a city, which made his chances of eating it slim. When he came here, he was shocked to learn that WcDonalds was totally different and it was common for folks to walk around eating them
Junya's burger was medium-sized and had many side orders. Before she could even finish, he was already digging in, wolfing down his burger. It was only after Alice told him to calm down, did he listen.
They both talk, even though Junya's replies were mumbling from his stuffed mouth.
"Ahhh" Junya sighed after finishing his drink. "Thanks, A lot, Alice, my soul feels replenished"
"If all it took to replenish your soul was junk food, I bet a lot more people would buy it, '' Alice chuckled.
"Since I'm D- Rate, How much stronger am I now?"
Alice stopped eating her burger, and then looked at him. "Well, You have to kill a lot more Mobs if you want to become D Ranked, for now, I'd say you are among the weakest"
Junya felt depression kick his heart.
"Don't get all mopey on me Jun. You can still have a chance when you fight the others." Alice comforted.
Junya nodded, until his words registered as an afterthought. "What do you mean others"
Alice laughed and pulled out a test tube of liquid, cobalt blue and water sustenance. Junya could tell it was Elo alcohol from the strong smell.
This made him also want to run away as fast as he could, but his spaghetti legs wouldn't let him.
Alice walked over to him with a scary smirk. She flipped the top off the poured some on his hands.
A harsh burning sensation plagued his wounds making him shake them for relief. The wounds were dirty and contained a lot of bacteria that prevented them from healing.
As the Elo Alcohol made contact, it quickly started a battle killing these bacteria which came across as sizzling and gave Junya pain.
Alice poured more overall his wounds to clean them out.
When she was done, Junya was on the verge of tears. "Why wouldn't you tell me you were gonna do that?!"
"Stop acting like you would've acted any differently." Alice spat indignantly. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the wounds stopped bleeding and the blood dried.
"Take the time to heal up, then train a little more. You're going to fight one for each day we have left for school." Alice made sure to empty her bottle until the wounds were completely cleaned.
Junya's hands still had a sting, making it hard to move his hand. Alice sighed and pulled out a roll of bandages to wrap them.
"You can't be such a baby, sometimes all Mobsters that Roam can do for wounds is thrown Elo Alcohol on it and hope for the best. I even diluted this so it shouldn't hurt much"
She tore the bandage and finished wrapping his hand. "You're getting A lot stronger, but if you were at school you would still be among the weakest. I don't want you to be weak, I'm sorry if you think I'm being too hard on you"
"Why do you even try this hard. Isn't feeding me enough, I doubt Amus asked you to train me, you could have done the bare minimum" Junya asked out of frustration.
"That's a good question..." Alice looked down at her hands. "Truth is, I remember your mother, Harriet Wotanbe. She was like a god when I was a teenager, she saved my family. She was the reason I decided to become a Mobster, I was distraught when I heard she passed away and ever since then decided to follow in her footsteps, in my occupation choice"
"So this is just charity work to make you feel better? Just feeding me would be enough to pay your debt."
"I could have simply said no when Amus asked me. I had my closure long ago. If I didn't take you in, do you think someone else would have? If you think Guram is anything like Berger Town you are sadly mistaken" Alice clicked her tongue. "I don't care what you think, I've lost enough..."
Alice mumbled furiously, stopping herself from knocking him in the head. "You have 4 hours!"
Junya sighed himself, realizing that his reaction wasn't necessary.
While reflecting Junya rested his body enough in time for the next Mob.
"Get ready" Alice spat, showing that she wasn't in a good mood.
Junya was on his feet ready for the next one. Alice went inside the container once more and another Mob flew out.
It was tall and muscular, with a stocky build and dark green skin. HIs large harms hung low from his shoulders and his legs were muscular and short. It wore only shorts and a single in the middle of its face.
"Humans are so dethpicable, I was juth schleeping and those bastards caught me."
It was an ogre who had a slur to his speech, like a disability. His teeth were bent out of line and he missed a few in the front row.
Soon his eye looked on Junya, "Huh? H..man..s are re..all..y d.um...b, Humans need to die!"
His eyes became red in anger his ran as it angrily rushed toward Junya.
"I'll give you the greatest honour" Junya used Asura stepped and reached behind the Ogre delivering a volley of strikes to its' Achilles tendon, but were too shallow.
"Ahh, thaaat hurrtss" The Ogre was slow and lacked any reflexive capabilities, even reaction to pain was slow but had amazing strength.
The ogre turned around and launched his first toward Junya. He reflexively flashed from the line of strike. The punch slammed to the ground leaving the Ogres handprint.
"Hum.a...ns we..ak… too fragile." It dragged its body toward Junya.
Junya used Asura to step toward the ogre. It threw a punch but mimicking the goblin earlier, it used its hand to move mid-air above the strike. On the ogre's hand he stood and used another Asura step to reach the ogre's eyes, he used demons crash and slammed his naginata directly into its eyes.
The momentum carried with the strike impacted the ogre's eye and it exploded into a bloody mess.
"Arghh! My eye!" The ogre screamed, with the pain making him talk properly. The ogre punched right in front of him with a Hail Mary, which directly approached Junya.
Junya never backed down and sent a punch of his own that released a chilling noise, his arm fell out of the socket forcing him to fly away in retreat and used Asura step to rush back to the ogre's neck.
'Can't risk him becoming unstable' While ignoring the pain of his dislocated shoulder, Junya brought his naginata and released a dozen slashes in his face, opening his neck. His skin ruptured after every slash reached his skin and bled constantly.
It wailed its arms in its blind state which was dangerous. Junya turned his naginata turned to ten and he swung it damaging its neck even further.
Seeing another strike was coming toward him, he fell to the ground and slashed his Achilles tendons another time, tearing out chunks and making him fall to his feet.
As the 10-foot-tall Mob fell, Junya waited below and slashed his neck from his body.
100 Elo Gained, Ordinary Ogre, Killed, No Items Dropped.

Junya heard the voice in his head but sat on the ground trying to fix his shoulder. He never expected Alice to help him since they weren't on good terms.
"Here, let me help you," Alice said stretching her hand. He was reluctant but gave her regardless. She pulled his arm which released a cracking sound of bones breaking.
He was frightened until he realized he could move it around.
"Thanks"
"Matching his punch would have been better if you were a little stronger, That could have gotten you killed. You need to learn how to gauge something's strength by just looking" Alice warned.
"Fine"
Alice was displeased with his attitude but ignored him. "The next one is in a few hours."
"No let's do it now"
Alice looked back at him surprised but laughed at him. "Who are you trying to impress me? Ah what the heck, no harm no foul. Fine!"
