Childish Squabbles

It had been half an hour since Ares first met Sato.

"This is easier than expected," Ares muttered as he lifted Sato up effortlessly with a snap of his fingers before slamming him against the ground once more. Sato was lying motionlessly on the cold, hard concrete as another golden exclamation mark appeared above his black and blue face.

"Do you need my help?"

"Stop … stop hitting me. I beg you. I'll let you help me. I'll let you help me with everything!"

A smile danced on Ares's lips as he readily accepted all the missions. He continued by saying, "I already told you that this was easy. Humans work in the exact same way as a computer. All you need to do is smash and slap against their thick skull and you'll receive the mission!"

Ares's complacent words left Dust Ball rather bitter and jealous as she whispered, "If you continue like this, I won't be able to complete any missions at all. That means I'll have zero experience points."
