6. SHE DID WHAT?! Micah's discovery.
After a nights rest, Silver wakes up,and having not gotten used to getting dressed, struggles for half an hour for pants and a shirt, eventually getting frustrated she tosses on one of her rare sunday style dresses that reach her knees, but nearly highlights her missing limb. She huffs angrily before storming out taking a walk through town back to the testing building to get retested with her new power. passing some shops she is familiar with like, "duggy's" the only blacksmith in this tier 1 city than can craft high end weapons, everyone else may be cheaper but no one as good as him, another is the archers halloway, why the elf settled on that, no one but him knows. Geoff is his name, custom builds bows, and all of his weapons are hand crafted by him, so the quality has always been good. Waving to these shop keepers as she takes her time making a plan to go leveling up after getting tested, Eventually after nearly an hour of strolling through town, the building comes in view, not wasting any more time she goes in skipping most lines before walking over to what appears to be an elderly tiger man, with a sign that says retesting. with no one in line his job must be easy most days, Silver walks up to him tapping on his table from her height, her head is just barely above the table set up for such a large man. "hi, im here for retesting my ability, there's been some changes and I'd like to get it noted so i can go hunting?" She says as sweetly as possible, at first when the man looks down, he was about to say something, when he notices the missing arm right away, making his aged eyes open wide and a bit of empathy fills the dark pools of colors. "hunters lisence and what type of test do you want?" He asks gruffly, mostly his age and gravelly voice causing it as he feels bad for the child in front of him. "live target, with beasts!" she replies, this request stuns the man making him hesitate and stare deep into Silver's eyes as if trying to find the answers to all of his questions there, after a few moments, giving a sharp nod, the large elder tigerman stands up, his size easily rivaling many of the tallest people in town, with a grunt and wave of his hand as indication before walking away. Silver follows closely, noting the mans missing tail, which usually happens in conflicts, she realizes he understands her predicament with something missing. After entering a large room in the back spanning more than 500 feet in length and width giving plenty of room, the man walks to one side and presses a signal button on the wall to get test observers in the room, usually the clerks would leave, but the man stays behind to see what the tiny neko has in store to make her want a retest in her condition. Only a moment passes as six observers, two being from her original testing, walk in, noticing who is retesting they give strange looks that dont go unnoticed by either Silver or the Old man. "stand in the circle and let us know when to start the test, it will start with 10 level 5 beasts, then 5 level 10, 3 level 15, then 1 level 20 which is roughly a dungeon boss for you, if you pass all of that we can do further testing to see your ability thoroughly" Silver nods, stepping into the circle just in front of her before summoning her turret, now with the heavy sniper mounted, before looking back at the testers as indication to start. Almost as soon as the gates open for the beasts, the turret fires, the high density mana bullet's impact completely exploding the first creature, its guts and limbs flying everywhere, its blood coating the floor, walls and other creatures, the rate of fire of the rifle makes quick work of the first, second, and third wave, with ease, to everyone's astonishment, due to the ammunition changes from mana core stone to condensed mana it magnefied the damage ten fold. Letting silver rest for a few minutes, before starting the next test, as soon as the huge gate opens, the cannon starts firing, but this boss like creature is heavily armored and takes the hits head on charging out to reveal what looks like a strange spiky turtle with a red shell, it condenses water bullets shooting at Silver directly, showing the intelligence of this creature, Silver dodges to the side quickly, and with an angry growl, charges foward, her movements coupled with the yellow sundress making it seem as if lightning is striking, moving around the slow looking swift beast as she punches it in the side of its head,skirting it easily, her stats proving superior in this fight, albeit not enough to kill the beast quickly. after nearly 15 minutes and her turret running out of mana, silver resorted to having to punch her way through its thick skull, eventually doing so. When the beast falls, and the unfamiliar notification sound of leveling up echoes in her ears, she kneels down catching her breath slowly. "was there not a less armored beast to choose from?! like come on man!" panting as she talks, her only hand shaking from the pain, the impacts with such a strong and tough creature, having possibly broken a finger or two thats already healing, but the pain can still be felt. "well, the good news is we are able to update your lisence, and since we noticed the change to the turret, without leveling, that can only mean one thing...you are a creationist class aern't you?" Hearing all of this, a smile slowly spreads on her face, nodding at the end still winded from the fight. "As one of the only living creationist classes, you have been automatically given highest ranking on the hunters list, and since you are one of the only, you can choose what color your lisence gets to be so what will you make it?" At this silver holds out her hand and makes a small ball of her dark purple mana in her hands presenting it to the tester asking for her choice. "this purple, its the color of my mana, and as far as I am aware Unique to only me, so what are the benefits of being a creationist class and highest ranking of hunter?" Vaguely knowing some things like better discounts, and priority crafting and such, but knowing being this unique should get far more benefits, maybe even a higher rank or privilege when she gets drafted would be very nice. "well, you should get someone from the royal family in the following days to tell you more, but from the hunter's association, it will be very easy to get or make teams, priority hunting missions, and an opportunity in every available dungeon and new dungeon spawn, we will also overlook your current medical condition, considering youve proven yourself versatile, strong, and capable, even without one arm, which is impressive on its own. To add on to that instead of the 15% discount you will get 25%, and any business related to the military that you own could get better deals in the future, so maybe try to renegotiate with the city guard general." The oberserver says as he hands over her new ID print at the top in Bold gilded gold SSS+ signifying her new status as a powerhouse, a smirk and giggle emerging from her as she looks at it. "to think it actually cost an arm to get such a rank haha, you know how many hunters would castrate themselves for this rank?" She giggles happily as she walks out, heading back towards the hunter's black smith stalls, as well as armorer shops, one of her favorite being ran by a dark elf female that likes to make petite armor, suiting her just fine. Going into the store, she waves the Dark elf over, Eva, and asks while looks around. " I am a bit pinched for time so I can't wait on a custom order today, you wouldnt have an easy to put on and take off leather vestment and maybe some magetic or rune clamp style shin guards would you? I've been given full combat status and want to get into the action as soon as possible." Eva, smiling at the young girl, drags her towards a rack closer to the counter where a variety of smaller than her usual crafts are on display, not quite small enough but close enough for a few days while a custom order is being made, on a doll stand is a nearly correct size leather vestment runic armor with two easy rotation locks in the front to put it on and off, the stiffness keeping it from opening too much making it perfect for Silver's current needs. "grab whatever you want off this section, it may be a bit big, but its the smallest i have on hand at the moment, stop by sometime and get an order going if you want to stay with lightweight armor, but I always took you for a heavy knight gal." Eva says before sauntering behind the counter proping up with her usual mysterious smile, making her seem far more unfathomable than she actually is. Silver grabs the vest and put it on immediately, finding it not too hard to put on one handed, she grabs two of the small shin guards and holds them close to her shins, the runes light up before they snap to her shins, protecting her lower legs, she nods a bit in satisfaction before going up to the counter. "how much do i owe you for all this?" she presents her hunter's lisence always trying to save a coin whenever possible, a habit not soon forgotten. Eva upon seeing the ranks, her eyes widen, usually people in tier 2 and above cities having such a rank, she quickly shakes off the shock before doing the math and letting Silver know the discounted price. "550 gold, the runes add more protection than meets the eye, and the shin guards snap on runes are quite intricate." Silver nods, having expected a higher price than that, she nods before tossing 600 gold on the counter, it being a friend of sorts she left a generous tip. "keep the change, I still have some shopping to do so I will head out now." With that Silver quickly exits this shop before heading down to duggy's just a couple of blocks down where most black smiths and heavy armorers and other smithing businesses reside, a way to cut down on noise polution in the city. Once there, Silver enter's while calling out to duggy, who always holes up in the smithing room in the back. "Hey, duggy, its your favorite neighborhood trouble maker, im looking to buy a guantlet or some sort of short one handed weapon nothing too heavy, maybe even a small hammer?!" she calls out walking around the shop, intentionally acting much like a cat, causing a ruckus with a small dagger knocked off a stand here, or rattling the axe stand to make him hurry out to see the commotion. "Alright! Alright, stop messin up my store ya brat out of the years I've known ye, And you still can't respect my store, what brought you here anyway, I heard ya lost yer arm to some flea bag" He says before growing still, the site of her the missing arm and all, and still dressed in a bit of armor is surprising to him, considering such a thing is usually a hunter's career ender. "what happen to ya lass" the old dwarf says in a rough, almost heart broken sounding tone. "It does not matter what happened anymore, just how i act according to it, so, you got anything for me to use one handed? nothing too heavy to drag me further off balance maybe? small hammer, gauntlets? maybe a short axe or swords?" Silver looks away getting tired of all the sympathetic looks, wanting to prove this hasn't stopped her in the slightest already erring her to hunt. "sure lass, i got a single gauntlet, it uses mana powder to discharge explosives at the point of impact so ya might want to buy some replacement cartidges, though how you'll manage reloading them in the field beats me, it'll suit your fighting style now more than anything else in here, don't think i dont know of those illegal fights you did for awhile." After gruffly saying that he picks up a pair of gauntlets and sets them on the counter along with three bullet slings filled with the explosive cartridges. "and I already know of ya new hunter status, quite something to have someone like you here...the price is 1500 gold in all." Silver grumbles a bit at the fact she can't show off in front of duggy, a long standing friend she made during one of her trouble making nights years ago, she pays the man slipping the left guantlet into her bag, before putting the right one on, she nods in thanks before leaving, heading to the lower level hunting grounds, the creatures may be lower level, but there is far more of them than any other creatures, in these zones none of them exceed level 20 making it perfect for her level 3 self, saving all of her free attributes so far. Each Level Grants 5 free attributes to be allocated as one likes. After getting there and showing her ID to the grounds guards, Silver walks out, and goes deep into the hunting grounds of this zone, finding a nice clearing with only one bare tree looking like its been struck by lightning too many times, she walks over. Giving the tree a few solid blows, ensuring its safe to be in, Silver jumps up to one of the lower branches, getting comfortable before summoning her turret, afterwards, she pulls a speaker out of her pack and her mana phone out, connecting the two through mana booth(blue tooth but gotta be a bit fancy) she selects a song --
