Team Missions are different from Solo Missions. They could range from a team of two or three, to a team as large as a Ten-man crew or a Fifteen-man party.Team Missions were often seen on the mission board, as there were plenty areas where beasts moved in packs. However, only on rare occasions were Team Missions given when there was only one beast involved, and that was exactly what was happening.Nux, oblivious to how much danger he was in, trudged on with his guard raised. He knew that he was at the bottom of the food chain at the moment, so didn't dare be frivolous. The winds carried the sounds of birds chirping into his ears, as forest Pixies flew about with their dainty little wings, leaving their pixie dusts in their way to brighten and rejuvenate the fauna.At some point, Nux sighted a small white Fox with three tails in the bushes and prepared to battle it thinking it was about to attack, but then it suddenly ran away.He continued on unperturbed. If things were going so smo

Nux woke up with a terrible headache and a ringing noise in his ears. He felt like he was being pounded on the head constantly, and chimes and cymbals were playing by his ears. Coupled with the fact that his body was badly burnt from the fire explosion, he didn't feel like getting up, but he didn't have a choice. Time seemed to pass at a fast pace. His body got better quickly, and soon, he opened his eyes.'How many times have I passed out in this world already?' Nux mused to himself. 'Five or six?... ah screw this!'Suddenly his eyes widened, and he threw out an aggressive punch, causing a bang to resound in the hall.A creature looming over him coughed out blood while backing away swiftly.Nux scrambled to his feets and raised his fists, ready for battle, but on second thought he looked around warily, and scanned his perimeter.He still remembered the large hall where he saw the Dragon, and also how his body autopiloted and jumped off a metal beam hanging overhead, right atop the

Nux gave a report to a big bellied man, checked around some more, while secretly watching his stalker, before he eventually left.During his short time in the Mission Hall though, he had come to learn about some of the inner workings in the academy.Like missions for example, he learnt that there was a set of students who monopolized the best missions for themselves, to get the best from the Academy.They were known as Nobles, the sons and daughters of anyone who was a Baron, or of a higher position. Nux hadn't met anybody of this Nobles, though he wished to, so that he could compare their strength to his. Beside that, he wanted to hear those cliche lines that would make one cringe, give them some face slapping, and knock their ego down a peg.He didn't know why he was having this weird wishes, but he knew they were going to happen, sooner or later, and he didn't know just how right he was. Nux also learnt about Star Rankings in the Mission Hall, what it entailed and it's various u

Nux eyes shot wide open and he scrambled to his feets. Commotion spread like a wild fire, pun intended, and the students began to rush outside the building. Teacher Verone took action immediately, and a wave of Telekinesis surged, blanketing the flames and quenching some. Nux stood outside, watching the smoke billow out of the windows and door. He knew he was the cause of the fire, but he didn't actually care. The students were frustrating anyway, so if a few got burnt, then they deserved it. The flames burning were fierce, but Teacher Verone did well to put it out in due time. He walked out of the smoke coolly and flashed a bright smile. Some girls directly fainted from that gesture, while some even began to touch themselves. Nux was absolutely disgusted, and wanted nothing more than to leave that place as soon as possible. He needed a distraction. Suddenly, an explosion rocked the building, flinging everyone off their feets. Teacher Verone who was closest to the door, cut acro

Nux turned around and froze. Every other thing around him was thrown to the back of his mind, and he completely focused on what was in front of him, not intentionally, but through a subconscious instinct. On the sand, just a few feets away from him, the towering form of a blue and white scaled Dragon could be seen. It's luminescent scales were beautifully carved, and glowed with incandescent lights. It appeared like each piece was intricately crafted by master artisans, as there were no scales with the tiniest blemish, crack or scratch on it. The Dragon's main horns were tall, and bent backwards slightly. They were so thick and long, they could be mistaken for twin bone-white spires, and with the addition of two more shorter horns curving backwards on each side of it's face, there were six horns in total. It's snout featured a nostril as big as an average hut, breathing out hot air as it slept, it's eyes were closed and fluttered from time to time as if wanting to open, and it h
