God-Hunter Mage

First Night

At night, Deborah City looked extremely diverse. The lights were illuminating the streets and giving it a warm feeling. The colorful lights above the shops also brighten up the night.

Everything suddenly changed, when Kieran was entering the A7 district, the view changed drastically. The warm and bustling night turned to dark and gloomy. There were many houses that did not have lighting. The streetlights also seem to flicker. That was making the atmosphere spooky.

Kieran and Mio got off the Taxi in front of Silvana's house. Kieran did not forget to pay for the taxi. In contrast to the gloomy view in the A7 district, Silvana's house had excellent lighting, so that the courtyard and surroundings were really bright. Mio took a step forward and pressed the bell button.

Shortly after the bell rang, Silvana came out of the house. She was dressed neatly with her hair tied back.

"You guys have come? That's good. I'll be gone in a few hours, here's the house key, if you're thirsty or want to eat something, just take it from the kitchen,” Silvana, who seemed to be rushing, immediately gave Kieran her house key. She went to the garage and pulled out his private car before sauntering away.

“Ah, she just trusted her house to us?” Mio tilted her head, she wondered why Silvana trusted them so much, as she even left her house keys to Kieran. Mio questioned, did not Silvana afraid they would steal something?

"Did you forget? We take on this mission with ID cards. If something happens to her house, then we will be held accountable!” Kieran said.

Mio nodded in understanding.

Since the owner of the house, Silvana, had left, Kieran decided to tour the courtyard first.

The fence was two meters high, for a mage like him this tall was nothing. Kieran jumped on the fence, then he looked from atop of the fence. He was seeing the views around Silvana's house. Kieran nodded, after watching that its condition was still calm and there was no one around the house.

He jumped down from the fence and approached Mio. He frowned, when he saw Mio sitting on a chair in front of the house, laying her upper body on the table. Her eyes were closed as her chest rose and fell slowly.

"Oi! Don't sleep, damn fox!”

Mio groaned for a moment, she opened her eyes and looked annoyed at Kieran.

"Why did you wake me up? Aren't we going to take shifting vigils alternately"

“Since when did we have such an agreement? Take the mission seriously, this is our first mission, don't mess it up!”

Kieran felt that shifting vigils was a bad idea. Kieran couldn't see the front, back, left and right conditions at the same time. There was a chance that someone would sneak in when Kieran was off guard.

At Kieran's coercion, Mio ended up guarding the front while Kieran was at the back of the house. Luckily, nothing happened, even though it was boring, but Kieran was happy that nothing happened.

After a few hours, Silvana finally came home. Thereafter, Kieran and Mio tasted Silvana's cooking. Soon, Silvana slept, while Kieran and Mio stayed up until morning.

When the sun rose, Kieran immediately reported to Silvana, he then took Mio who was already asleep to the hotel room they had booked. The first night of the mission went smoothly, Kieran was relieved. He hoped the next two nights would also end smoothly.

In addition to the mission, Kieran was also looking for some information about the community or association of Asmodeous believer. After wandering, he got the fact that although the Deborah city government allowed the religion of the dark factions, but they were not officially registered on the religious register in the Deborah City. This means that there was no exact address where the place was. For now, Kieran could only focus on other things, while continuing to look for the Asmodeus mage community.

After woke up at the day, Kieran took lunch. Then he went somewhere. This time he didn't bring Mio because the fox girl refused Kieran's invitation. After days of being together, Kieran finally had some alone time again. The place that Kieran went to, was Don Cargo Training Camp, this training camp was provided for mages and organized by the mages of the Earth Goddess Church.

Kieran saw that he wasn't the only one going to Don Cargo's training ground. He moved forward to enter the training ground. However, he saw a girl around 17 years old, checking the Don Cargo training membership card. When Kieran's turn came, he said, "I'm new, I want to join Don Cargo Training Camp."

"Oh really? Then please provide your ID card and a fee of 200 DBR to register.”

Kieran nodded, he gave his ID and money. Now Kieran aware how importance of identity cards was in this city.

After a while, the girl gave a card to Kieran.

“You can go into room 7 for guidance.”

Kieran nodded. Subsequently, he was walking to the room 7. He was greeted by someone.

“You're a new trainee? Welcome here boy, my name is Enza, I'm your instructor from now on, and the people in this room will be your training partners for a while,” Enza said excitedly.

"We aren't directly trained by Don Cargo?"

Enza shook his head, “You have to finish basic training first, then you can be trained by Don Cargo. You've looked in the browser about our training, haven't you? The training camp here is very strict, there are many people who underestimate the difficulty. At the end, they just gave up. To save Don Cargo's time, we are undergoing the basic training. Thereafter, we will judge whether you can continue or not.”

Kieran nodded in understanding, “It turned out like that.”

"Then let's go in."

Kieran entered room 7, he saw besides himself, there were 8 other people in this room. They were all wearing strange black shoes and running very slowly and looking troubled.

"You have to wear black shoes on the shelf in the corner over there, for a beginning, run around this room 20 times."

Room 7 was large, the size was about 20 × 20 square meters. Kieran went to the corner and took the black shoes that Enza was referring to. However, he was surprised when he tried to lift the shoe. It turned out that the shoes were very heavy, Kieran now knew why they looked difficult when running. The weight of these shoes made the feet activity limited.

Kieran wore the shoes with difficulty. After that, he followed the other training members to run around the room. Kieran, who was just starting, found it difficult to even walk. He gritted his teeth and then used Asmodeus Bless. But a moment later, the electricity immediately spread throughout Kieran's body.

"Aargh!"

“Don't use your skills! You should purely use only your basic physical abilities,” Enza shouted at Kieran from a distance.
