"Jack what are you going to do with the pink bear, i can have it if you want?" Pam says
"No pam you can't have it, and I am going to put it in the corner of my room and have it hold something."
"What does your sister look like jack… for research reasons?" Sam says casually
…
The next day
Sapphire pov
Sapphire is outside in the training area and is wearing a long black sleeved top, black trousers and her boots that are a mix of long boots and hiking boots, no bandages so way more 'plot' can be seen.
"Saph, you out here early, what you doing?"
"Training."
"Well I could of guessed that saph, but why so early, did you even get any sleep."
"Yes, got some."
"Oh and I see you have no bandages this time, you look nice without them."
"Whatever, I'm going to put then on soon, after I'm done and had a wash.
Oh, well mind if i take a photo?"
"Yes."
"Cool." Snap
"Anyway, thanks for the bear, i like the colour."
Jack say with a wide smile
"Ok, that's good." Sapphire say pretty blandly
"Well I guess I will go for a run, have fun training."
Jack then takes off
Couple hours later
"Mr Ja, oh miss sapphire, um breakfast is about to be served, do you know were jack is?" A maid says
"Oh, he's a bit further down that way."
"Thanks you miss sapphire."
Sapphire goes towards a bucket, and chucks all the water over her self and then shakes off the remaining water before going back inside, her fur all wet and down, she goes to her room still very wet.
after a couple of minutes she comes out with a white short sleeved top with a bit of an opening at the top, light brown trousers with a bit of fabric around her waist that goes down to her halfway to her knee, and some more boots similar to the last pair but black with a buckle on the side of each. Her fur and hair slightly wet but standing more like it usually does and with her bandages on again.
"Saph, you used all the water." An annoyed voice come from down the hallway
"Oh, there more water somewhere."
"Ye, I got some more for my self, now before we head to breakfast, do you want to come and hang out with me and my team for the day, maybe do a mission with us. And under jacks break you can here him say"
it's for an assignment we need to do."
"Not really."
"Great so you'll take along then perfect."
"If you were going to ignore my answer, why ask?" Sapphire reply's Slightly annoyed
"Don't know what your talking about you said yes." Jack reply's with An annoying smile
"N… never mind.
"See." A smug smile on jacks face
"What ever."
They then go to breakfast
While eating " sapphire, I heard you got a giant pink bear, wish I could of seen your face holding it, your annoyed face with a bright pink bear on your back it would of been priceless." Skannon says
Sapphire does a semi grunt in response more focussed on eating.
"Anyway, anything happening today jack?"
"Uh, ye I'm going to be taking sapphire with me to meet my teammates and go around the city."
"That sound fun, hope you two enjoy your selfs."
"You doing anything interesting dad?"
"Ah not really just going to work, might be gone for a couple days, need to make sure a dungeon break does not happen somewhere."
"Oh, good luck."
"You know I don't need it jack, but I will take the luck, just in case."
An hour later
" so sapphire, we should be netting up with my team in a couple minutes, they are a bit, um lively but they are good people… oh also we are a potential hero party isn't that meet."
"What's that?"
"What a hero's party, um well that a group of people in a party who all have there hero marks unlocked."
"What is a hero's mark?"
"You don't know? Well pretty obvious with the name but I guess it a group that are most likely going to take down a demon lord or king in the future."
"Oh, well good luck."
" what do you mean good luck, I'm making you apart of this sapphire."
Sapphire looks at jack shocked
" jack, I'm no hero and I won't be one and anyway is't this like most of those manga were someone is kicked out of the 'hero's party' and they do a bunch of stuff."
"Wait you read those, well saph, I would never kick you out so you don't need to worry about that."
"JAAAAAACK!" Smack , an a red blur tackles jack
"Oh you must be jacks sis, sup." As Pam hold her hand out
Sapphire hesitantly shakes pans hand
"So, jacks sis, what's your weapon."
Pam eyes are franticly scanning sapphire for her weapon
"Don't look at me like that!" Aggressively almost like a growl
"S sorry jack's sis." Pam looks away sheepishly
"Sorry about that p, I forgot to say be careful around saph, she's been though a lot she doesn't mean to be so aggressive."
"Yes I do."
"No she doesn't."
"And Pam, her main weapons are her hands."
Pans eye almost become stars " you're a pugilist, no way there aren't many female one around, what sect?"
"… self taught and I guess I could be a pugilist but I use more then my fist just don't have them on me."
"Oh nice, that's so cool! Oh hey as you are the only other female jack ever talks to, do you want to hang out we can talk about boys, or girls if you're into that, buying clothes, weapons, jewellery and so much more!"
Jack looks devastated by what Pam says
" I don't do any of that… Pam."
"What! Then what do you do jack's sis?"
"Train… that's it."
"What! Well now you are with us for the day, we are going to do so much together!"
"Oh so that is what jack would look like as a girl, I'd smash." Sam says from the distance
"I hate them both."
"Saph, hates a strong word."
"I hate them both." A stronger emphasis on hate this time around
"They'll grow on you, I promise, and Sam, well he isn't always like that I promise."
"You, you hate me." Pam says tears appearing in her eyes.
"No she doesn't Pam, saph is just saying that."
"Oh, that good then." The tears already gone
"So jack Pam, … saph, what are we doing."
"Don't call me that."
"Oh so only jack can call you saph, luckily him."
"Well I was thinking we could go to a storage ring place for saph here as she needs one, as at the moment I'm carrying her stuff, then we can go t"
"Weapon shops!"
"You have enough weapons pam."
"Weapons shop."
"I guess a weapon shop then, and after that we can go to a store with some joke stuff for you Sam, then we can go and get something to eat, after that we need to go to a basic dungeon so we will all be doing that."
"Does the school not have its own?" Sapphire asks
"Uhhhh well it does but, it way to basic for are skill so we need to go to an actual dungeon for this, we only need to do a couple floor and being the loot back, with evidence we did the work from a licences adventure that will be following us in for safety, and saph you don't count as you are a mercenary not an adventurer."
"Whatever."
"So sapphiirrre, you doing anything later."
"dungeon delving apparently."
"Well I mean after that, like you alone."
"Sam, stop trying to hit on my sister she will hit back."
"Oh, well that I should do it more."
"No like with her fist Sam."
"Oh well that disappointing."
A bit later
" Saph, do you want this ring, wrist band or the necklace?"
"The ring."
"Cool"
A couple second later
"Here you go saph." As jack hand sapphire the at storage ring.
It is a plain silver ring with enchantments carved into it. Sapphire put on the ring " oh one second saph, I'll be back in a second just going to get something in the next store over." Jack say with a warm smile
"Ok"
"Sooo jacks sis, my weapon is a hammer, it has a magic enchantment that make it when I put my mana through it, I can make the end of my hammer explode for 'devastating' damage, it's pretty cool if I do say so my self."
"Right."
"Your no fun, want to spar to see who is stronger."
"no!"
"Oh ok."
Jack then come back into the store and hand to sapphire a small box.
"Here you go saph, hope you like it."
"What is it?"
"Just open it saph."
When sapphire open the box she see's a necklace in the shape of a snowflake, and it can open, inside is a picture of jack and skannon next to one another."
"Oh and it has an enchantment on it, it can protect you from fire stuff for a short time."
Sapphire looks around for a couple second then puts it on " th, thanks."
"No worry's saph." Jack then strokes sapphire on the head right in the middle of both her ears, sapphire swats his hand away, with jack smiling cheekily.
Hours later
"So what dungeon we going to?" Sam asks
" I was thinking the glowing cave as its pretty easy I hear." Jack reply's
"Oh ok." Sam reply's
"Saph, you good with that?"
Only to see sapphire has just walked into a mercenary bar.
"Sa saph, came back"
"I need some info on a dungeon called glowing cave."
Sapphire then shows her mercenary card
"Oh, you don't want to do that one miss snowfall , the slimes get everywhere, and I mean everywhere, if I were you I would go to the goblin cave dungeon, the only really bear there would be the shamen but all you need to do is have someone who has the basic spell cure and you'll be fine, oh and that info will be 1 silver for you rank, miss snowfall."
Sapphire hands over the silver and walks towards the exit were jack just opens the door
"What you doing saph?"
"I was getting info and I got it, we aren't doing the glowing cave."
"Oh, ok, hope that info was not to much."
" it was just a silver."
"What really, thought it would be more."
"You get a discount for info if you are a member and it gets better the higher rank you are."
"Oh."
"Hay jack why did your sister go into there she ain't a merc is she? Sam says
"What if I am?"
"Oh nothing bad just, normally merc aren't that nice to strangers, just legal bandit I'd say."
"What ever sam, anyway we are not going to the glowing cave, a better one is the goblin cave dungeon, just need someone with the cure spell and we will be good.
"The adventurer who is going to be follow us should have it anything else?" Jacks asks
"I would get food, water, camping supplies, potions 2 for health and mana for everyone if possible and some antidote for poisons, paralysis's and other abnormal effects only common ones though no need to get stuff like Petrifi go away(suck a stupid name) as it's not a dungeon that would have that effect I believe, oh and extra clothing… oh and something the clean weapons with." Sapphire reply's
" that makes sense let's do that."
An hour later
" so, we're we meeting the 'licensed' adventure. Sapphire asks
"We will meet him at the entrance of the dungeon, we can find it at the adventures guild as they have a bunch of teleporters for dungeons, I texted him we were going to goblin cave."
Outside the goblin cave dungeon teleporter
"Ah, so you are the school kids who need to go for an actual dungeon, who's the white fox there should only be 3 of you?"
" oh don't worry about her, she is my sister and she can handle her self I'd say."
"The white fox got anything to say she got skill or do I just got to go off trust of a kid."
Sapphire shows him her mercenary ID
"Ok snowfall so you are a D rank, you lot should be fine then with her but I was paid to follow you lot so I will be there just in case."
This adventure has drown hair, no ears on his head, has a scar under his eye, a 5 o'clock shadow basic leather light armour over a brown top and some padded trousers that are black in colour, some short greaves. He has a spear on his back seems to be a normal human.
"So you lot ready, oh and if you need me just say my name it's Derik."
"Ok Derik we are ready right?" Jack says
All 4 of them then use their storage rings or brackets to change into there combat gear
Sapphires is her assassins like gear with a bandana around her face and no shoes, instead she has bandages covering he feet just like her arms, and everywhere else underneath her combat gear.
Jack has medium studded leather armour that is coloured blue and some metal plates around his arms and legs.
Sam wears light leather armour and wields a staff
Pam wears heavy plate armour, that has a hammer carved into the chest, with a large war hammer that has engraving on the hammer part.
As they all start walking into the dungeon
