The skills use high amount of energy and the newly awakened are advised to not learn or use them in the wild as using them lethargicly will drain the energy which will make one tired and reduce the endurance faster.
I could see them drinking potions now and then to replenish their depleted energy or to heal the injuries they had received. These potions are not cheap, but they are using it without any constraints.
The battle has already attracted many people. While most are watching the battle with interest, few of them are fighting the monsters that are attracted by the sound of the battle.
Dawn showed interest in the battle for a few minutes and then started fighting the monsters. I also joined her after confirming the kids involved in the battle has used all their skills.
We killed as many monsters we can before the energy and endurance almost depleted. We took rest for a short period before leaving the area.
We had entered the swamp just about 2 hours back and thanks to the battle of the companies, we were able to hunt 22 monsters in a very short time.
I can say I am lucky to watch the battle as this doesn't happen often and I have learnt many things by watching it. I have to increase my Energy and Endurance to be involved in a battle like that.
We reached the market place by 6:00 pm, an hour earlier than we planned and have killed more than twice the monsters we planned to hunt today, thanks to 'the battle of the companies.'
I once again had to endure the fear while Dawn rode the bike skillfully and reached the Hunter's Guild. We met uncle Jon who was more than happy to see us coming back soon and was even surprised to know we have killed 22 monsters in a short time.
I took my bike from the parking and reached uncle Jon's house by 8:15 pm. We have already decided to harvest the monster materials here as it will be easier than harvesting them in the swamp.
I also went home to inform my parents and sister Zaana about our success for the day before going to harvest our kills. They were equally happy and surprised as uncle Jon.
That is also the reason we stored all the monsters we killed in the storage without harvesting them to collect the crystals from them. Crystals are not the only useful material from the monsters.
We were able to harvest many raw materials from the monsters that we killed which will earn more credits for us. Most of them can be used to create armor while some can be used to create potions.
"You are not bad for a newly awakened Alex. But, your sister is right you know. You should try to become a ranged hunter which will help you grow more powerful." Dawn said to me while I prepared myself to leave.
"So, you are siding with my sister too. I wish I can do what my sister asks, but I am not good in archery." I replied with a shigh which made her smile.
"You can learn it IF YOU WANT to. No one I know has ever learnt a skill within a week like you did." Dawn replied with her voice with a hint of seriousness.
I just nodded my head after realising nothing is going to change what they have in mind, unless I prove them wrong. We will be meeting tomorrow at my house in the morning to go on the mission.
The next day, Dawn came to our house at 7:00 am as we discussed. Today will be the best day for us to complete the missions and we have only 13 more monsters to kill for their crystals.
Zaana and Dawn were talking which they stopped when they noticed me entering the living room ready for the mission. We have decided to go to the forest area that is inside the swamp that will help us to fight without any issues.
This will also help us to know each other's pros and cons in the battle to plan on our next missions. My parents have asked me to partner with Dawn for more missions so they can be at ease, which I agreed to keep them calm.
We reached the market place by 8:00 am. We looked for a shop to sell the raw materials we have harvested from our kills as we only have to submit the crystals to complete our missions.
We sold them for 30000 credits in which 15000 were transferred to my account even though I killed only 8 monsters. I tried to decline it politely which fell on her ignorant ears.
We moved to the forest which is at the center of the outer area of the swamp. The moment we entered the forest, the battle started.
GROWL.. GROWL..
We heard growling sounds and the next thing we know is we are being attacked by 2 breeze wolves. These wolves can control the air element which has made them faster than the other animals I have fought till now.
These wolves are 5 feet tall and 7 feet long. They are in F grade, and their speed is faster than the rabbits Dawn fought yesterday.
Without hesitation I activated my Air Armor and took a side step to dodge the attack. I could see an orange bright light coming from my side and took a split second to look and was surprised to see Dawn covered fully in fire.
She has got the rare skill like me, the Fire Armor. The armors are given to the newly awakened kids who have the potentials and the right contacts to get them.
Lucky for us, our parents were able to get them. The Fire Armor increased the attack power of the user while giving a moderate defence.
Dawn looked beautiful surrounded by the fire which created a warm atmosphere inside the forest that is in the middle of a swamp.
I didn't want to stop looking at her, but I will have to fight the breeze wolf first or I will be killed by it's fast and deadly attacks.
