Upheaval

'I'll get myself a good catch today' thought Theodore as he skimped over leaves and branches, approaching the inner part of the Revir Beast Region.

He was garbed in blue armour with a long sword strapped to his thighs. 

As a Black Jaws member, the pressure to advance was amounting with every passing day.

Thankfully, with the guilds loan system, he got himself the best equipment for those in his rank, and now, he was headed to kill the C rank beast, plant viper.

He could barely suppress his excitement, visioning himself posing beside the beast's corpse after a lengthy battle.

And because he'd done his homework on the beast, it didn't seem at all insurmountable. 

But all that came to stop the moment he spotted moving figures; their bodies obscured by black cloaks.

Theodore squatted immediately, making sure to keep his movements to a minimum.
