Once the three are up they begin to discuss what had occurred last night. "Well i'm sure this won't be the last we see these people, we didn't know they existed and they still tried to kill us" Jason tells the other two. "That's true i mean there is not much we can do except try and get stronger quicker" Zachary suggested, Jason nod in agreement. "Well I guess I can do a solo run today too" Gracie sighs giving up her day of relaxation. "Ok so after we finish our solo raids where do you guys wanna meet up?" she asks. "How about the Association we can sell our loot after too" Zachary suggested. With the other too agreeing to that they head out to grab a quick bite to eat before leaving for the dungeon. This time the trio are a bit more cautious of their surroundings, however nothing was suspicious to them so they quickly arrived at the entrance for the dungeon. Eventually after waiting in line for a bit the three enter their separate dungeon instances. Jason, even though he enjoys being around his friend, is a bit excited to fight on his own. He has gotten used to his magic quite fast to where he is able to produce about two spells almost instantly, he is hoping to try and increase this number with the dungeon training.
Jason releases his staff into its six-foot version, after mentally preparing himself he begins his journey down the path. Only a short amount of time passes before four earth lizards appear in front of Jason. Two on the ceiling of the cave and one on each wall, They almost blended in perfectly except their movement and noises they made. Deciding the two lizards on the ceiling were the biggest threat releases two fireballs at them. With their speed plus the lizards being surprised caused the two lizards to explode with fire killing them. The remaining two lizards lunged at Jason after he cast the spell. Quickly he uses his staff and swings it toward one of the Lizards, right before it makes contact he uses his wind magic to add extra pressure and strength behind the blow. The lizard was sent flying into the wall it jumped from, not dead but injured. Jason has to dodge before the claws of the last Lizard ripped through his chest. Quickly he fires a wind sphere at the lizard before watching it explode upon impact. 'Magic is definitely strong' Jason thinks to himself before making his way to the lizard he flung into the wall. Rocks were pinning it down so he was easily able to finish it off. Once the fighting stopped Jason had a brilliant idea, He open'd his inventory and selected one of the Humans faced coins. Upon selection the young man who had previously answered his questions appears before him. "What's your name?" Jason firmly asks before being told "Elias" In response, "Ok your job here is going to be collecting any monster loot that drops" Jason informs Elias "I'll handle the fighting understand?" Elias nods in agreement before beginning to collect the scattered loot.
Jason didn't want to waste any energy in the dungeon as he wanted to focus on training. This is why he decided to call out Elias, once he returns the two begin their way deeper down the path. Elias remained silent and safely behind Jason for their entire stay in the dungeon. The next group of monsters Jason found was a mix of three Earth lizards and Three Earthworms. Putting away his staff Jason focuses for about ten seconds before three fireballs appear and are sent flying toward the Earth worms. With no warning the previously threatening worms turned into torches temporarily blinding the surroundings. This didn't last for long however Jason had already started casting his next three fireballs. As they flew towards the lizards one managed to evade the attack ending up with burn marks on its hind legs. The Lizard now in pain makes a last effort to survive by charging at Jason. Jason opens his eyes to see the lizard lunging at him, Quickly he uses Wind magic to form a layer between the two, then he sends this layer flying away from him dragging the lizard with it. "That was a little too close, mister," Jason said before launching a fireball towards the lizard. Unable to dodge the lizards is enwrapped in flames and dies. Jason spends around three hours fighting just these two types of monster, he eventually becomes bored but decides against trying to fight the Fire Spirits. Previously he needed a long distraction to beat them so he doesn't think he will be able to handle them by himself.
Jason decides to take a break and recover some of his strength. Elias has finished picking up the remaining loot on the ground before returning over to Jason. "How'd we do?" he asks Elias, "I've never seen a single person clear through so quickly" Elias began "I have 25 lizard hides, 31 lizard eyes, 34 lizard claws, 32 worm teeth, and 26 worm hides" he finished giving his assessment of the loot. Pleased with his work Jason decides to continue on like he had been for another three hours, during this time he easily was able to dispatch any monsters that spawned. The training in the dungeon paid off because Jason can now cast three fireballs almost instantly. The rest of the elements haven't been trained enough but Jason has only been using fire to fight so he is proud of his progress. Jason instructs Elias to hand over all the loot he had picked up, after taking it into his inventory he also returns Elias. Checking the loot he had it doubled from what he had when he checked in halfway through. Making his way back to the entrance he placed his hand onto the black crystal getting transported back to the usual spot next to the dungeon entrance.
Walking over to the Adventures Association he enters the building and looks around. Unable to see his friends, he finds an empty couch in the lounge area of the association and takes a seat. He waits for almost another hour before he sees Zachary walking into the building. Signaling him over the two wait and talk about their experiences fighting in the dungeon today. About an hour and a half the two see Gracie flying into the building, they stand up and walk over to her before asking why she was in there so long. "Well i can't let myself get rusty if people may be after us" She shrugged before landing onto Jason's shoulder. The three make their way to one of the open reception counters. The receptionist is in shock over the total loot the three obtained. It's not unheard of for stronger adventures to raid weaker dungeons or levels but these three didn't have any known strength. After overcoming his momentary shock he begins to take the loot into his inventory. "Ok so a total of 145 lizard hides, 156 lizard eyes, 152 lizard claws, 160 worm teeth, 151 worm hides" the receptionist gives off his final count "Here is five gold coins and twenty seven silver" he said almost choking. Shock was valuable on the trio's face as well, they weren't expecting to get paid well for a day of training. Collecting their earrings the trio leave after thanking the receptionist. Deciding that they were going to spurge they decided to try and find a decent looking restaurant to relax in. That is after they freshened up in the bath house next to the Inn. Once getting cleaned the three meet up in their room.
