The chance I was waiting for came when the wolf stopped using it's claws to attack and tried to bite my head off.
PUCHI
I crouched down and swung my sword up piercing my Red Blade in it's neck. The eyes of the breeze wolf lost it's light in a minute with it breathing it's last.
I wanted to sit and relax, but Dawn is still fighting the 2 wolves at a stalemate. She is in need of help which I want to provide.
I used my armor's sleeve to clean the sweat on my forehead and ran towards Dawn who is fighting with her life on the line. I could see a few cracks on her armor with few drops of blood dripping.
'Aaahhh' I shouted to distract the wolves while running at them and my gamble paid. One of the wolves looked at me for a second and stopped it's attack.
It immediately pounced at me trying to stop me from helping their prey. I anticipated this and fighting 2 wolf's gave me the experience I needed to take care of this one with ease.
SLICE!!
I dodged it's attack by sliding on the ground while slicing my Red Blade at it. The wound it received is deep, it was on it's front leg and it started to stammer unable to stand.
PUCH.. THUD..
I used it to pierce it's eye killing it instantly when Red Blade pierced it's brain. It fell on the ground with a thud. I took a deep breath before looking at Dawn who smiled at me.
She has killed the other wolf within a few seconds I lured one to attack me. I smiled back at her with a nod. This has been the toughest battle I have fought since the awakening and I am satisfied with the result.
"Yeah.." "Woo.. Hoo.." "That's Entertainment!" I heard voices and looked at the hunters who came to help us. They have killed the wolves that came at them and were celebrating the victory.
I am a little worried about the noise they are making which will attract other monsters in the area. I couldn't say anything as I am still taking deep breaths after the intense fight I just had.
"Not bad. Your boyfriend is as good as you said Dawn." I heard Max's voice behind me and turned to see him talking to Dawn. "Yeah.. He is brother." She replied looking at me with a blush.
I am a little confused and looked behind me only to see a bunch of trees with no one else in that direction. They didn't know I heard them, but was just looking around to find what they were looking at.
I was like 'Boyfriend? When did that happen?' I have met Dawn for the 1st time yesterday in the Hunter's Guild and have never seen her before. Besides, she is a year elder to me.
And I am yet to speak with Max. 'How could they possibly talk about me like they know me for a long time.' With this thought I approached them while taking a healing potion out of my storage in hunter watch.
It is an F grade potion that costs 2000 credits. I gave it to Dawn saying "You are bleeding." Only then she looked down to see blood dripping from 4 injuries.
She got the healing potion from me saying "Thank you" and poured it on her injuries and drank the rest to heal the internal injuries.
Max came to me and said "You are a reliable young man, just like how my dad and sister said. But I prefer you to go into archery which will be amplified by your element."
I was surprised to hear it. Everyone I meet after the awakening is asking me to become an archer, which my sister suggested. I don't know why everyone is insisting me on this.
I know my sister is a person who is like 'I will wait patiently for your answer, no matter what it is, I will respect it .... as long as you agree with me.' But she will not go this deep to impose it, or will she.
I threw that thought at the back of my mind and sat under a tree to take rest. We were given the 3 wolves we killed which leaves only 8 more for us to collect and we have a full day to do it.
We decided to join Max and his team which will give us extra protection in this dangerous forest that has claimed many newly awakened people's lives.
We hoped the fight with the wolves would have attracted nearby monsters, but we were wrong. No monsters came even after waiting for 30 minutes.
I walked with one of the hunter named 'Kalim' who is awakened few months back. But my focus was at the back where Dawn is walking along with a girl Reya, who I think is her friend as she is speaking with a care free nature.
"Your boyfriend is cute you know. I wish I had seen him before." Dawn's friend Reya said to her which again threw me out of my thoughts.
My Air element has given me a boost in senses which includes my hearing. Good thing they didn't know about it. I want to turn and look at them with annoyance, but controlled myself.
"Yeah. Good thing for me you didn't see him. Now he is all mine." Dawn replied with a blush in her voice. This sentence blew me away.
How could she probably tell them I am her boyfriend when I have never accepted it. No, I didn't know about it. Is she trying to manipulate others in thinking we are in a relationship or is she really interested in me?
This is not the right time to think about it. We are in the middle of the forest where any sound we make will attract monsters at us. I am trying to control my anger by the minute.
"Cut the chatter girls. Be silent unless it is very important that you are talking." Max said in a stern voice and then looked at me with an apologetic smile. I just nodded at him with 'Thanks' in my heart.
