Inside a building inside the forests two young witches was patrolling. They were new recruits who had been recruited around two years ago. After studying witchcraft they joined the Witch Society, an organization that researched witchcraft. In the organization they experienced many things. They managed to access many types of magical research that wasn't allowed in the Imperial Magic Academy.
They were particularly interested in experiments involving demon beasts and magical beasts. As they stood outside a door at to the back of the building. It was a door that led to the giant pangolin enclosure. It housed a giant pangolin that was created during an experiment.
As they opened the door they saw the enclosure empty. On closer inspection they saw that there was hole in the roof of the room. Usually when large beasts were created it was necessary to destroy within a week. However this one was kept for a little more research. As a result it had escaped.
The two recruits ran to their supervisor's room and told her what happened.
" What ! Dammit, the guild master would now come and pester me. You two go and inform your tutor Brigett and start a search with
her. " said the supervisor with a look of annoyance on her face.
The two recruits nodded their heads and got out of the room.
Not far from this building was located a small town named Derrim. Currently Eric Flavel's entourage had stopped there.
Since there was nothing particularly interesting about this town, Gojo and Grisella headed to the adventurers guild to take up quests. They took up a quest of finding some rare berries from the nearby forests. They, soon exited the city and went to search for the berries.
As soon as they entered the forest, a wild boar came out of the bushes. Gojo took care of it with reverse red. They also saw a herd of large horned deer as they searched for the berries. Suddenly the ground shook. Gojo and Grisella were surprised since according to recent reports of any gigantic beasts in this forest.
The ground shook up at intervals as if something large was walking through the forests. Gojo and Grisella searched for the source of the shaking and came across the giant pangolin. It had now stood up and was towering over the trees. The creature had also taken and started moving towards them.
" Let's hunt this guy. " said Gojo and jumped aside as the pangolin brought down it's huge at him.
He then used reverse red at the giant pangolin. It destroyed one of it's limbs and the pangolin ran berserk. It ran through the forest knocking down many trees in the process. A tree almost fell on Grisella, but managed to drag her away. By the time he turned his attention back at the pangolin it had vanished into the forest.
After asking Grisella to wait at a distance Gojo rushed back into the forest. Thanks to blood trial it lead him to a dense part of the forest near a slope. Soon a tree fell near him. Looking forward he saw the giant pangolin pushing trees down the slope. Soon more trees started landing near him. He used levitation to fly in the air and attacked the pangolin with reverse red.
It missed as the pangolin was shaking too much and it ran back into the forests. This time Gojo was able to it. He used reverse red first to blow away it's head and then used it more to finish it. Then he returned to Grisella and they both returned back.
Unbeknownst to them not far away from that location three figures were arriving there. The two new recruits of the Witch Society as well as their teacher Brigett were searching for the pangolin. They had managed to find footprints leading them to the direction where the corpse of the pangolin lay.
" Looks like it has been taken down by adventurers. We arrived a bit late. " said Brigett.
" Isn't this a good thing ? The adventureres took care of the giant pangolin before it could wreck havoc on some settlement. " said one of the recruits.
" Nah, it should have been us who should‰that it has been killed by the adventurers the guild will know about this and harass the supervisor again. Also taking it down would have been a good training for you two so that you could handle these kinds of situations. " replied Brigett.
Gojo and Grisella told the guild about the giant pangolin when they were receiving their payments. The guild sent out a small party to check about the pangolin. They received their rewards the next day.
After two days Eric Flavel and his entourage left for the next destination the village of Nereis.
