The skeleton runs at Tanji blindly and pushes forward its sharp fist bone. Tanji swerves out of the way and knocks the skeleton away with a punch to its hollow ribs.
“A concentrated lightning blast should do the trick.” He makes a circle shape with his hand on his other palm and begins concentrating bolts of lightning qi. As he is doing this, he is forced to dodge the deadly swings coming his way.
Tanji looks around hastily for a solution then runs away from the skeleton. He jumps up with his legs alone and lands on a branch at least 10 feet up from the ground. He then makes another leap to a higher and stronger branch. The lightning qi then begins to collect around his selected area.
The skeleton stabs its sharp bone appendage into the tree in hopes of climbing up
Tanji sidesteps twice and dodges two strong swings towards him. The skeleton then launches a bone projectile at him but he flips right over the bone. He leaps up onto a tree then leaps over another projectile. He rolls and lands before analysing the scene “This thing is not slow!”He blocks a punch head-on and slides back. The grass below him rips from the force and he is barely able to push back on the fist. He ducks under the punch but gets stabbed in the chest. He is then kicked into the air. He knocks past a tree trunks and hits the ground hard. He looks up at the approaching skeleton and rips out the bone from his chest. He throws it at the skeleton but it just knocks off of its body since it’s literally just bone.Tanji ducks under a violent swing then hooks it in its side. He then kicks off of it with a kick but he is grabbed by the leg in mid-air and slammed into the floor. He screams from the pain then is thrown in
The skeleton runs at Alden and he notices that it has lost considerable speed. He dodges a jab then strikes it in the jaw. He then launches a close-up fireball to its ribs. This knocks it back slightly then they both fall into a power struggle. Alden clearly has the advantage to start off but this skeleton literally grows a third arm from its breastbone. It pushes Alden back several metres and he is thrown into the air.While he’s airborne, he’s hit with 3 boney projectiles to the body. He falls onto the ground and the projectiles dig further into his body. He coughs blood and says “OW!! You’re dead!!” His bones grow out further and his wendigo instincts start to bubble up. His eyes glow a bright white colour and his fangs get even sharper. His muscles also get slightly larger and he roars at the skeleton. His claws are also much sharper. He rips the projectiles from his body and snar
He runs right towards the skeleton and shows no sign of fear. He dodges past a stomp then leaps up and scrapes some of the bone off of its sternum. He lands then forms his screeching fire into a condensed fireball. This fireball zooms at the skeleton and slightly stuns it. Alden then leaps up and punches it right in the chest. To follow, he connects with a double drop kick to the spine.He flips off of it then Tanji reveals his new crystallised arms. “I’m ready for action!!” He says confidently. Blue lightning crackles across his new arms and he runs forward to meet with Alden’s level. Silvan arrives there too and they all prepare for battle.The skeleton’s head twitches and it runs right at the 3. They divert from its line of motion and all dodge a deadly punch. Tanji runs under its legs then leaps up from behind.
They both run towards the skeleton and begin combat.Alden punches the skeleton’s spine then Silvan takes a big leap off of Alden’s back. He punches the eye socket and leaps over such skull to try and dodge any attack. He leaps off of its wide neck bone only to be backhanded to the ground. Alden is then hit with 3 strong and devastating strikes. His guard is completely destroyed, leaving him completely open.To finish off, the skeleton lands a punch to the chest that knocks Alden to the floor.Silvan blurs forwards with his amazing speed and punches in its left knee. However, he is quickly stopped by a left hook. He hurls across the battlefield and hits the ground hard. Both Alden and Silvan struggle around on the ground in a lot of pain. Alden starts burning the g
After a simple hour or so, the group are ready to go. Alden keeps himself shifted and puts Tanji on his back so they can make an exit. It is quite annoying have to feel the front of his sword digging into his side though. Silvan packs his things and they make sure to take everything that they manage to find.After this, they make their exit back to the city of Grimcrest.Once they return, they do get a few looks from people across the hall. They are muddy, bruised and their clothes are completely broken up. Tanji wakes up as they return to the school and is quite light headed from the overexertion of his power. Also, his Soul Core is pretty much empty now. He can even feel the emptiness in his abdomen. It feels similar to being very hungry and tired.“We did it?” Tanji asks in s
The group continue with their education after this long mission and are actually doing quite alright by the morning of the succeeding day. Golden sunlight beams and reflects off of the clean white walls of the academy. Many voices can be heard across the hall but there is still an almost peaceful atmosphere. The green grass and natural waters of the school really add to the calming and natural scenery.Tanji, after his first lecture, takes out his phone and sees a smaller mission that they should complete.<SECOND MISSION. F-RANK. 80 DOLLAR REWARD.><Patrol of Ulfville Area.><Patrol the roads of the Grimcrest Neighbourhood, Ulfville Area. Make sure to suppress any crime within the area and any violence.><PATROL: 3 hours><Complete from 5pm - 8pm on Thursday>“
Tanji, after his focused and calming meditation, checks the quest section of his system. He sees some small quests that he can literally do right there and then and this is what he decides to do.He walks out into the dark night and wears a simple dark hoodie with some fingerless gloves. He has the notification tab open in front of him so he can complete the mini-quests.[QUEST: Life of the Sea. Buy at least 200g worth of fish and eat it.][QUEST REWARDS: 50XP][Quest Ends in 91hrs 57mins 30secs][QUEST: A Nice Treat.

The store is definitely well-kept and has very distinct isles. The smell of the store is very en
The next morning, Tanji sees a notification from Grimcrest but just him. He doesn’t seem to gain any notice from his friends and is rather confused from this.<MISSION #3. D-RANK. 350 DOLLAR REWARD.><Detaining of Rabid Vampire.><Detain the rabid vampire within the area, Jasper’s Knight.><Complete from 10pm on Friday><Proceed with upmost caution><-KNOWN INFO->The Known info gives him a profile of the man and all of the information that Grimcrest has acquired. He looks up after reading through the mission and asks his friends about it.“Have you guys got this new mission?” He asks. Alden promptly checks his phone and sees no lagging or sudden info. He goes onto the personalised s
