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. Buy at least 50g worth of candy and eat it.][QUEST REWARDS: 40XP][Quest Ends in 33hrs 41mins 12 secs]He simply walks into the nearest convenience store, Snackdeck. 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
“How come he has such good strength as a vampire?!” He asks himself in shock and surprise.His body starts to grow and he begins to use the power of his Power Panda. He fills out his hoodie and trousers and grows 5 inches to tower over his target. His hands grow claws and thick black fur. So do his feet that fill out and even slightly expand his shoes. His eyes go a pure black and his canines slightly enlarge but they don’t sharpen.He powerfully kicks the man away then lands a good punch to the side of his head. Ulysses swerves around from the impact but doesn’t seem to be shaken up at all. He simply charges back towards Tanji for another attack and lands a good jab. Tanji doesn’t even have to evade such attack since he knows it wouldn’t damage him. Tanji then leads with a wild right hook only f
Tanji looks to the ground hastily and sees a lone wooden twig. He drops down and ducks out of the way of the flaming dagger. He grabs the twig then stabs it into the vampire’s chest. However, he’s stabbed in the shoulder with the flaming knife. He drops to the ground, holding the open wound. Ulysses falls back and Tanji runs forward and past him.He rips the small twig from his chest and sees some grey, dead looking skin surrounding the open wound. “You thought that little twig would stop me?!” He says in annoyance and also arrogance.[HP AT CRITICAL LEVELS]HP [14/115]He picks up the wooden stake that was knocked away and runs forward as fast as he can. Ulysses instantly becomes fearful and feels foolish for not dealing with that weapon earlier.Tanji, with a stumbling an
Tanji looks around the tall and green grass, looking for their target. He hears a low snarl and looks in the direction of the sound. “Did you hear that?” He says quietly. Silvan shakes his head and says “No.” Tanji hears the same snarl again and instantly prepares himself. He says to his friends “Get ready. Someone is here..”He looks in the intended direction and pulls out handcuffs from his backpack. “We need to get this guy in these handcuffs. I don’t think this person will have the strength to take all 3 of us..” He looks forward and hears little steps and patters in the distance. Eventually, this develops into fully-fledged thumps and a grey-skinned vampire leaps from behind a bush.This vampire pummels Alden to the floor with saliva drooping from his famished mouth. Alden kicks the rabi
Silvan, across from the battlefield, removes the wooden tile fromhis gut and grasps his stomach in pain. He reaches over for his bag, while feeling light-headed, and extracts a bag of human blood for a starving Peter.Tanji stomps on Peter’s head with the last of his Yin-Yang Qi Rush Art’s power then steps off to show his broken nose and bleeding head. Peter stops blindly trying to attack them and simply tries to remove the wooden branch from his stomach. Tanji reaches for his arms and puts them in handcuffs. He then rips the branch from his gut and Silvan walks over, with a limp and also with blood seeping from his wound into his right hand. He throws a blood bag at Peter who instantly catches its scent. He catches it with his locked up hands and is barely able to contain himself. He seals off the cap at the top and slurps the whole packet in seconds.Once he is done, his
About a month passes and Tanji has gained some extra strength. 2 mini-missions follow and provide him with 3 extra XP points alongside 100 dollars. He has got his Power Panda up to Level 4 and has continued with his Qi cultivation.During the evening, Tanji just casually practices his lightning qi control with his Thin Blade in the town of Grimcrest. He’s pretty much chilling after a day full of boring lectures and going for a walk. He does take the info in as it helps them with how to fight certain supernaturals on the missions that are to come. He has also been focusing on his fighting technique. He has noticed that his recent fights have just been him using basic fighting techniques and not using his intelligence to outwit his opponent.Across the area of the Grimcrest City Centre, a group of masked people venture across the bustling st
