"You will get 50% of the credits we get when completing the missions. The raw materials we get will also be shared in the same way." Dawn said noticing me being silent for a few seconds.
"When are we leaving?" I asked to which she answered "It is already late. We will have to start immediately." Which made me worry.
I started wondering about 1 thing at that time. 'How am I going to get permission to go out on a mission just like that?' I was planning to go on the mission only by tomorrow which I have told my parents and sister before coming here.
I nodded my head agreeing for the mission as I would go on a mission with or without her by tomorrow. Having someone to watch my back will give me extra protection which will be appreciated by my family.
I called my sister Zaana first to tell her about the mission and got the permission with ease. My parents also agreed when they heared it is Dawn who is partnered with me on this mission.
Only then I realised the brown skinned girl with green eyes and bluish hair is uncle Jon's daughter. I have never met her before as I concentrated mostly in my training, but have heard a lot.
After getting my family's permission, I agreed to the immediate missions. Uncle Jon asked me to leave my bike at the Guild so I can go with Dawn, to which I reluctantly agreed.
I activated the armor which I stored in the hunter watch and it immediately appeared on me. I looked at the mirror to see how it is and was satisfied with the appearance.
When I looked at the mirror, I saw a dark skinned boy with blue eyes, black hair and a little muscular body looking back at me. I was nothing like my previous self.
He looked confident in fighting and winning any battle the life can throw at him and become stronger and powerful than he has ever imagined.
I deactivated the armor after checking my armor for the 1st time as we are not allowed to wear armor or carry weapons inside the defence wall.
I was informed by uncle Jon that if we can gather 35 F grade monster crystals before tomorrow evening, we will be completing 5 missions and I will get my share of 50000 credits to my account instantly when we submit the crystals.
These monster crystals are the power source of the monsters which gives them the ability to control the elements. It is found embedded to their heart and one has to kill the monster to harvest it's crystal.
We will have to kill 35 F grade monsters and it will not by easy. In normal days, it is achievable, but now there will be many hunters in the swamps and it will be difficult to get that many crystals in less than 2 days.
With that in mind, we left the Hunter's Guild in Dawn's bike. She drove the bike at 150 kph which made be grab the passenger handles at the side as if there is no tomorrow.
I even closed my eyes so I will not get scared of the speed she goes through the traffic. She handled the traffic with ease and her driving is flexible and carefree.
We reached the Saminga in 30 minutes. It was 2:30 pm now and we have another 3 hours before it starts to get dark. We will have to leave by then as the monsters from the inner area will come out during the night.
It will drastically decrease the survivability and will be hard as most of them will be nocturnal monsters which can kill us with ease at night. We parked the bike at the market place that is near Saminga and activated our armor.
We entered the swamp with caution as there will be monsters lurking under the knee deep swamp and will attempt surprise attacks on hunters when they expect the least.
Since it is my 1st time outside the defence wall, I felt nervous and had to take few breaths to calm myself which made Dawn 'chuckle' and smile. But she didn't say anything to the childish act I was doing.
We moved towards the center of the outer area where there will be nests of few monsters which will help us to hunt a few monsters before it gets dark.
We heard a few faint fighting sounds and had to go around it now and then as we do not want to be seen as hunters trying to take advantage when others fight.
When we were moving closer to the middle area, I felt a small vibration from my right side. It is not from the swamp, but the air. After awakening the Air element, I started sensing the vibrations in the air.
These vibrations are caused when the air is disturbed by movements of the others. I am still trying to get used to it, but this vibration felt different and with cautious in my mind, I swung my red sword.
CLANG!
I heard and felt my sword hitting something hard which flew a meter away and fell into the swamp. Hearing the sound, Dawn came close to me and took defensive stance with me.
We kept our eyes on the place the animal that attacked me fell. We didn't see any movement from that place, but we kept staring at that place for a full minute before Dawn made her move.
She went to the place where the animal fell and reached into the swamp with her hand while kneeling without hesitation. She took out a brown snake that had a deep cut that had killed it.
It is a 2 feet snake which is capable of killing a low grade hunter with a single bite. She was cautious and stabbed it's head with a knife even when the snake didn't move to confirm the kill.
She nodded at me with a smile after confirming the snake is dead. "Congratulations on you 1st kill Alex." She said while giving the snake to me so I can store it in my hunter watch.
I was taken aback to know I was able to kill it with a single strike. With that kill, I started to focus more on the surroundings using my Air element as it helps me to notice the movements in an instant.
