Still at the hunters faction were the group were residing since after the attack by the game lord. One could say things wasn't going exactly smoothly for them as it has been one trouble or the other.
Blair who had his leg dislocated while out on the hunt that none of them would forget anytime soon. The group felt they had come close to the death on that day. Now that all that was gone, they felt they could relax a little except that wasn't the case as none of them knew what awaited them in the near future.
At one section of the Hunter's faction, where the med center was located, two people could be seen walking. This people were none other than Blaze and Blair. With the former coming over to visit Blair every day since the event of the intermediate beast, it was to safe to say they were now getting along better than when they first met.
"Thank you for coming over Blaze" Blair said as they walked through what looked like a hall way in the clinic. Blair who had his right leg dislocated was getting much better walking, though one could see he was still favouring the right leg a little.
"Hey its nothing, with that leg I bet anyone could beat you in a race now" Blaze said with a smile on her face while looking at Blair's injured leg.
"Hahaha...Don't be too sure about that" Blair said while scratching his head and seemingly avoiding eye contact with the female in front of him.
"OK I gotta go now, you should be discharged soon, correct?" Blaze asked.
"Yeah the healers here say I just gotta stay for few days while they watch for improvements" Blair replied.
"OK then,... i should get going now". Blaze said as she turned around and began walking away with her long black hair dancing smoothly down her back.
"Bye...". Blair barely managed to say as he had his eyes fixed on her walking away.
Blaze had passed someone familiar while walking out and gave a nod acknowledging the person. Eiko being the person she had passed had smiled implying he was greeting her as well.
" Hey big guy, how's the leg" Eiko asked
" Oh yeah ... Its Tuesday " Blair replied..
"Haha... I see she's left you in a trance ... Well here's a little advice, you should think about not dying while you are here" Eiko paused before continuing ..." Besides you guys don't look like a good match"..
"What do you mean bro...she's fire ...I'm ice!!! What other sign do I need bro!!!" Blair argued as they walked back to his ward.
"You do know fire and water are natural enemies right?" Eiko asked laughing.
"Whatever man...she's cool". Blair said, leaving making Eiko to only shake his head in amusement.
Meanwhile in a particular area of the shelter, loud noises could be heard coming off which sounded like fighting. Inside what looked like a dojo a girl with pants where one leg was longer than the other could be seen with a fan in her hand panting while in a fighting stance. She appeared to be all alone but was had sweat all over her face. Standing directly at her front was a wooden dummy mostly used for practice. There appeared marks all over the dummy as it looked to have seen better days.
—————
"I couldn't even scratch that beast that day, i was utterly!". Mia thought as she kept on reflecting on the entire fight and how she wasn't able to help out. All of that was about to change as after the beast was killed they all received a notification, something mia had been waiting to see for a long time now.
[Team Quest complete]
[You are now at level 5]
[Wind ability unlocked]
[New skill: Air flush]
"This is a perfect place to test that skill and see what it's all about" mia said as she activated her ability staring at the wooden dummy she had been practicing with.
"Let's check to be sure what you actually do" Mia said as she opened her system and clicked on the skill which brought up the description
[Air flush: releases a strong gush of wind from both palms of the user held open outwards]
*Skill requires max distance for greater effect*
"Interesting..I can hit a target far away without getting close and it would even have a greater effect at that!" Mia thought excitedly.
Moving back and
Getting into a fighting stance once again, staring hard at the dummy with her ability active. All she gad to do was think of the skill in her head.
[Air flush!]
And suddenly a strong wind left her palms, taking the shape of a spear with the middle slightly wider and the ends looking thin and pointy, the attack was building up and getting longer as it travelled. She hadn't expected the skill to activate so quickly, the force leaving her hand caught her off guard and moved her two steps back. When Mia looked at where her attack had gone, her face immediately went sour as the attack looked to have passed through the dummy leaving a huge hole in the wall at the other end.
"No..No... I didn't think it would be this strong?...and it didn't even stop after hitting the wooden dummy" she said holding her face as if it was going to melt any second now. She should normally be elated that her attack was successful but the thought of how much trouble the damage it did would cause her faction stole away that joy.
"I should leave now before I cause anymore damage" she thought and turned to leave.
"Now look what we have here...a beauty who's also a beast"said a guy with black spiky hair wearing a black shorts with ropes tied on both knees and a sleeveless shirt that looked to have been ripped off intentionally and in an unorthodox method. They were three in number that had walked in on Mia and had seen her do the maneuver that broke through the dummy hitting the wall and causing there to be a hole.
"Yeah ...look what she did to the dummy".. Another guy beside the first guy said pointing at the dummy. This one had a smaller frame compared to the first guy. He had his hands wrapped up white with a thin white material wrapped around his waist.
"You look behind the dummy, dummy!" The third one who looked to be bigger than the second guy said smacking the the previous one's head.
"No way!"the smaller among the two said as he couldn't believe it since the attack he had seen shouldn't have caused that damage he thought.
"Where were you going honey? ...you weren't going to leave that like that, were you?". The first guy said.
"Look I don't want any trouble okay..." Mia said trying to move towards the exit but was blocked by the three boys.
"Oh but you are in a lot of trouble now honey, who's going to fix that?" The second large guy asked.
"Yeah who?" The smaller of the three asked aloud with his voice seemly annoying the other two as they both gave him a death state.
"OK...what do I have to do?. Pay or something... Just tell me who I gotta pay to". Mia said. The two boys looking at one another smiled mischievously.
"Us ...you pay to us". The first huge guy said holding his hands out with his palms open as if telling the girl in front of him to make her deposit right there on his left palm.
"You three?... No way in hell am I giving you by three a dime.
"In that case you wouldn't mind earning your way out with a little spar then"
Mia was going to refuse the offer but then changed her mind and instead went ahead to accept the offer
"Fine, which one of you is it going to be?"..Mia asked looking unfazed.
"Who said anything about one? All three of us against you". The large one amongst the trio said.
"Huh?!" Mia was about to pull out of the deal when suddenly a kick hit her stomach hard, sending her skidding on the floor. Spitting out some blood from her mouth she looked at the trio who were now laughing and approaching her.
" I said I didn't want any trouble but so be it!!!" Mia said as she stood up with her fan in her hands.
