Grendall watched from a dark corner. He deeply sighed."This is going to cost us our reputation..."Eauvis continued, "With the knowledge that all of your parents have signed the form. That means they agree to participate in this activity as well as the fact that the activity starts now.""WHAT? MOM REALLY SIGNED SOMETHING THIS CRAZY? MOM, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?" Phize panicked."I will be calling the team numbers one by one. The people associated with said group MUST go down the auditorium and Miss Hasha here *he points to Hasha who is beside him* and she will be providing you with the necessary equipment to prepare you for this wondrous event."He cleared his throat and began calling, "TEAM 1!"4 people stood up from the stadium and went down the stairs. This went on for quite a while."TEAM 109!"Phize was silently waiting for his number to be spoken out."TEAM 156!"4 more students went down the stairs. He looked cautiously around his surroundings."This is making me nervous," he
"OKAY! OKAY! Since none of us can decide who's leader, then how about we decide upon it with a game of chance," Hazel proposed. "I say arm wrestling," Trif replied. "Dumbass, you'll win. That's unfair." "ALRIGHT! LET'S JUST POINT AT THE PERSON WE WANT THE MOST TO BE THE LEADER!" Phize yelled. They nodded in agreement since they were already in dire need of a leader. They pointed to whoever they wanted to be a leader. Phize pointed at Hazel, but she pointed at Trif since she realized that Phize may still be suffering from trauma. Trif pointed at himself, but Lili pointed at Phize since she believed Trif was more ill-mannered to his teammates and Hazel as someone she thought was quite dumb because of how easily she was manipulated from the competition. Of course, Hazel herself harbored feelings of anger toward Lili for doing such an act. However, she was still displeased with the results of the proposed way. "AHHH! THIS IS GETTING NOWHERE! LET'S JUST DO THE ARM WRESTLING!" They ju
"We've been avoiding confronting each other for a few days now, I've had it. Hazel, err, Ansgar, how did you get here? What happened back in Germany? Why are you with me right now?" Phize asked her.She didn't answer him, she simply stared at him until she suddenly walked and stood beside him. She sighed."I didn't want to reveal this, but I guess nothing stays secret forever, does it?"She looked at the ceiling then she began speaking, "My name was Angar Wegener, son of Luitpold Wegener and Anika Wegener. When I was a child, I had no particular interest in any activity, this continued on for a few years till I was age 4. I stumbled upon a game, though, I don't remember what exactly it was, it gave me pleasure, and it was the only thing that I could have an interest in."He listened carefully to her backstory.She continued, "Then at age 5, I met you. I saw you being shunned by your hobby and such, but I found it fascinating on my end, I hoped we could've been partners, where you were
"I feel relieved. She came out to me. But now that I know what she went through, I'm not sure what to say. Heck, what is any person supposed to say in a situation like this?" Phize wondered. He thought for a while, then he came up with what to say, or at least, what was safe to say. "Don't worry. They can't hurt you... us... anymore. We live in a different world now. God has given us a second chance to live. What we couldn't have before, He gave to us in this world." "Yeah." ... .. . "CRAP! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY NOW?" he panicked. He scratched his head, Hazel noticed the awkward atmosphere and decided to ease the tension with a laugh. "Eh? Why are you laughing?" he asked. "No particular reason, I simply laughed out of joy." Because of her action, he was able to think of the appropriate thing to say. "Um, Hazel, or err... Ansgar? Which should I call you?" "Hmmm, call me Hazel now, I've been called like that for a few years now and it's not gonna change anytime soon, so
The next day went by. Inside their room, Trif woke up Phize in a quite violent manner, particularly casting a water spell on his face. "BWEH!" "Wake up. It's time to work," Trif told him. "Did you have to drown me in water?" "So the best quest I got today, was..." "He ignored me," Phize thought. He continued, "We're gonna be hunting for the Thysine Rose. It's found near the Trees of Diverse Nature, which is around two cities to our north. According to our client, its contents aim to cure Inmagilation." "Inmagilation? Are you sure you didn't mishear it as "imagination"?" "No, Inmagilation is a case of insufficient mana flowing in a person's body, be it more or less than enough. Its symptoms include headaches, nausea, and extreme fatigue. It's a common thing in those who use magic, yet you don't know even that?" "Okay, okay, Mr. Smartypants, you can take the crown." "Moving on, these are one of the main ingredients of a Mana Potion. So if we manage to bring back more than enou
Spellmaster was furious at them."What do you want from us?" he asked.Tara completely ignored him and commanded her men, "FIRE!"She pointed at him and hordes of bows were shot at him.He showed no fear and stepped forward.He pointed towards the arrows and chanted a spell, "Blast."From his pointer, a large surge of energy blasted the arrows into oblivion. However, the bandits were persistent, the moment the arrows were gone, they charged and ran after him.He sighed, "I will warn you all one last time. If you do not withdraw now, I will kill all of you without remorse."They did not heed his threat and continued to pursue him, closing in their distance by the minute."This is my last warning. Leave now," he told them.Again, they ignored him."I warned you..."He closed his eyes and after a few seconds, he opened his eyes once more.He chanted, "Groundbreaking Madness."His subordinates spaced away from him and then he punched the ground as hard as he can. His punch formed a crack
Back when Spellmaster was fighting Tara's group, Phize and his group arrived at the city of Yato. It was in a way... quite industrial. In each corner, there was a factory. There were also small-scale buildings made of concrete. The overall tone of the place was quite grim."You know, this could've been a much better place to stay in," Trif stated."Too bad, I don't think there are any guilds here," Lili clarified."It almost looks like the Industrial Revolution. It seems this is a place where they take building and trading as their first priority. Judging from the loads of products I can see," Phize grasped.There were men and women moving carts everywhere, they had vegetables like carrots, eggplant, and corn."Hey, maybe we can buy something here?" Hazel suggested."I'm not sure," Trif replied."We should try. We don't even have iron swords," Phize grasped."Do we even have enough money?" he asked."How about this... let's check out their prices. If their prices happen to be low..."
Phize and his team went out of the store and he held two bronze swords and 2 shields. The bronze swords looked cheap and the 2 shields had a wooden interior with a metallic outline."So a bronze sword cost 5 Fers and a shield cost 2.50 Fers," Trif stated."Yeah. We're all out of money," Phize said."I'm taking a sword and shield."He yoinked the sword and shield from him."HEY! YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE THAT! WE'LL DECIDE AS A TEAM!""In case you haven't noticed, I barely care about this team and am only helping when it benefits me. Call me selfish if you will, brat."Phize was triggered inside, "WHY YOU?!""That's fine, I don't really need a sword or shield. At the very least, using a shield just isn't my style," Hazel said to him in consideration."I see then. Lili, would you like a shield or a sword?""Neither. I'm relying on my magic," she answered confidently."I guess I get both, then,"He helped himself with the remaining equipment."Alright, enough exploring. We should start on our
