First Hunt (1)

Azure started his day by waking up and then got ready right away since for him, time was money, and I mean literally. But at least he's playing a game while doing that, pretty sure that everyone would want to do that as well.

After a while of running and riding the train, Azure successfully got to the internet cafe in one piece. He then quickly got logged in and ran towards the training grourds, hoping that he wasn't late.

Oliver, who was talking to Ash, then noticed Azure running towards them as fast as he could, so Oliver just waved at him. "Hey Lime, in a rush today aren't you?" Oliver asked with a teasing tone in his voice as he started chuckling at Azure who was running his fastest to be on time.

"Very much so! Anyways am I late?" Azure asked as he stopped in front of Oliver who was still laughing at him. "No, the exact opposite actually, your early, probably way to early." Answered Oliver as he tried to contain his laughter that was about to burst due to a certain reason.

"I don't think that it's that funny that I got here early, it might even be good you know." Azure stated as an attempt to get Oliver to stop laughing at him. "Defintely, keep thinking that and you'll start seeing illusions of them actually getting somewhere on time after going to a hunt the day before it." Oliver said as he wiped a tear (tear of laughter) from his eye.

"What do you mean by that? Aren't they usually on time?" Azure asked. "Not at all, they're the last people that will come to a party or something like that, heck they might even miss a whole event when there is one." Oliver answered as he burst out laughing once again. "Basically, you came way earlier than you should have." Oliver said as he started laughing even harder at Azure's face.

'.... I came way earlier than I should have, very nice, I definitely couldn't have made some more money using that time instead of rushing here...' Azure thought to himself as all the color was drained out him leaving only a pure white body that looked like he was ready to go to the after life already after accepting his fate or something like that.

After a while of Azure just chatting with Oliver about somethings that he wanted to know more about, Azure and Oliver saw Ash and the hunting squad running towards them form a far distance.

"Looks like someone forgot to buy a new alarm clock yesterday." Oliver teased Ash who just arrived in front of him. "First of all, I did not forget about it, and second of all I got carried away while I was training." Ash stated in an attempt to dodge Oliver's teasing. "Definitely, and that's not your sleep mask on your forehead." Oliver stated as he looked at the sleeping mask that he made for Ash a while ago.

Ash then noticed that his sleeping mask was still on him, causing him to instantly put it in his inventory. "Yes, since as you can see, it isn't there." Ash stated as he did a fake cough to try and avoid Oliver saying something.

"Anyways, i'll assume that you prepared, Lime?" Ash asked as he turned towards Azure. "Yes sir!" Azure said happily, he wanted to start hunting already so that he could level up, and he wanted to do that fast.

"Good to know, and i'll assume that you six are also ready to start your hunt?" Ash asked the hunting squad. "Yes! We made sure to bring everything that we might need for this hunt." The hunting squad replied.

"Alright then, just make sure to let Lime hit the enemies a bit as well so that he could grow, but make sure that he doesn't take the aggro form one of you, alright?" Ash said already knowing the answer that he will receive.

"Yes sir! We will make sure of that!" the hunting squad stated as they turned around to face Azure. "Well then, let's go, Lime!" The hunting squad said as one of the grabbed Azure's hand and stated running at insane speeds, causing Azure to just float in the air as he was getting dragged by them.

After a while of running, the squad reached one of the areas that monsters would spawn at once every five minutes, and it was one with lower level monsters than the monsters that would normally spawn in the forest.

"Ok, now that were here then we should start by making a party, you do know how to use a party, right Lime?" one of them asked Azure since they didn't know if he knew how to join a party yet, since it was his first time hunting monsters.

"Yes, Oliver taught me before you guys arrived at the training grounds." Azure replied as he saw the party invite pop up, he then pressed accept and joined the party. Joining the party would give him a good amount of EXP and maybe even loot or coins if he got lucky enough, but it was all split according to what most of the party wanted so no one needed to worry about someone trying to steal something from the party treasury. It was the place where all the loot and coins would go into and as long as the rest of the party let you take something from there, then you could take whatever you want if they allowed you to do so.

This was one of the things that Azure thought was very smart, since without it then people from your party could just take whatever they want and run away with the things that they took.

Azure then looked at the names of the people he was in the squad with.

[Vega: Level: 68, Class: Magic Swordsman]

[Magus: Level 63, Class: Pyromancer]

[Nox: Level 49, Class: Trapper. Sub-class: Scount]

[Fauna: Level 56, Class: Puppeteer]

[Kiran: Level 58, Class: Priest]

[Valerie: Level 63, Class: Martial Artist. Sub-class: Elementalist]

These were their levels, classes, and sub-classes. All of the managed to impress Azure quite a bit due to their high levels and two of them having a sub-class which made him think that those two probably worked very hard for their sub-classes. This also made Azure wonder what class he would want to use in the future.

Vega has long black hair and dark blue eyes, his eyes looked like they were galaxies that had a lot of stars in them, they looked quite enchanting to say the very least.

Magus has coral colored hair and gold eyes. His hair color fit quite well with his class being a Pyromancer.

Nox has black hair and purple eyes, his eyes have this type of mysterious feeling to them, but they do look cool.

Fauna has long light green hair and amber eyes, which made her appear to be quite friendly to be honest.

Kiran has short brown hair and bright yellow eyes that kind of looked like my own, but mine are a bit brighter than his. He looked like that one guy in a chaotic group that would be the only calm one there, but that means that he also looks like he could snap at any second.

Valerie has long shiny white hair and emerald green eyes, but despite that, she still looked like the most serious in the whole group.

After a while of getting dragged for some more time, the squad finally managed to find their first group of monsters. They then quickly took out their weapons and got into position.

"Alright then, Lime, you should get in the first hit and then hit it again when one of the mages accidentally get the aggro, is that alright with you?" Asked Valerie as she prepared to start fighting the monsters.

"Yes!" Azure quickly replied as he took out his arcane sniper and prepared to shoot the monsters one by one so that he could get a bit of damage in before the fight actually starts.

He then shot the monsters, which made them look toward him. Valerie then used one of her skills called "Lion's Roar" which both made the aggro focus on her and also made it so that her enemies would suffer from the "fear" status abnormality, which made their speed and strength decrease by ten precent, it can be called an OP skill for starting a fight with something or someone.

After she used that skill, all of the hunting squad started attacking the monsters, after that, it didn't even take ten minutes to defeat all of the monsters in the area.

With that said, Azure heard a lot of notifications, but that didn't interest him in even the slightest. He then quickly opened the party menu and looked at the treasury, he then noticed that they mostly gained coins and and materials, but there were a few weapons there as well. Even though he couldn't use them because of the level restriction.

They then continued with the hunt and got a lot more loot and drops from the monsters that they were defeating, since they went deeper into the forest, the monsters also got stronger and as they say "High risk, high return." which was a saying that in this case, was correct, and also in most other cases to say the least.

After hunting for a while, the moon showed up in the sky in place of the sun, signaling that it's already night. Seeing this, they all decided to camp for today and continue the hunt tomorrow.
