Will of chaos

111 Cap 111: Eclipse shadow(Chapter preview)

After we've finished the first two steps of the Adventurers Guild registration we follow Mari down to the ground floor, then she leads us to the back doors Diana tells me to lead to the Adventurers Guild boot camp.

"Wait here, I'll get someone to be your training partner." (Mari)

After saying this Mari goes back inside her Guild.

"I didn't know I needed to do so many things to register as an adventurer." (I)

"It's all necessary, the questions are to know what to put on your Guild card and to make sure it's not someone wanting to use the Guild to do something bad." (Diana)

"The survival questions are to know how you will act in a mission, being adventurous is not just fighting monsters, we travel to various places, camp during the mission, enter dungeons with hostile environments and there is always the possibility of being attacked by monsters with difficult abilities." (Diana)

"Many think that just because they are strong they can be adventurers, but strength is of no use if it is not able to survive in a situation where strength does not help, the greatest skill of high-ranking adventurers is to survive and adapt to the situation ." (Diana)

"I can understand what you mean, but what crystal was that?" (I)

"It was a crystal of truth, it glows green if the person holding it tells the truth and glows red if they tell a lie, it is very expensive and difficult to manufacture, but all guilds have to have one for this kind of situation. ." (Érica)

"I imagine everyone did well on the survival questions, Érica was an adventurer before, Kira has a lot of practical experience too and the brothers were inquisitors, so I imagine she has experience fighting monsters and surviving in various environments." (I)

"For me, it really was easier to answer the questions." (Érica)

"The most important thing for an assassin is the ability to survive, so it was easy to answer." (Kira)

"It was easy to answer these questions, my brother and I have traveled many places." (Irina)

"And since you were Ibuki, did you manage to answer any questions?" (I)

"Ibuki was only able to answer the questions about the forest, I tried to think a lot for the others, but then Ibuki was sleepy and ended up falling asleep." (Ibuki)

"If you managed to answer something, that's enough." (I)

As we were talking Mari approached a large man who was holding a large sword behind his back.

"This is Jonas, he's a Grade B adventurer and will he be the one to fight you, any questions?" (Mari)

"No questions, nice to meet you Jonas." (I)

"It's nice to meet everyone too, but I'd like to warn the rest of you that you shouldn't bring a child to Guild training camp, an attack might come out of one of the training arenas so it's dangerous for kids." (Jonas)

"..." (Kira/Érica/Diana/Irius/Irina)

"I think we had some misunderstanding here." (Mari)

"Jonas, this is Zenos the leader of this group and one of the candidates who will fight you." (Mari)

"Do you want me to fight this child?" (Jonas)

"I understand you're confused by my appearance, but be careful with your words please." (I)

"Sorry is it seems like an exaggeration to ask a Grade B adventurer like me to fight short so small and weak." (Jonas)

"Jonas, don't be disrespectful!" (Mari)

I'm starting to get annoyed with this man, his every word pierces my heart where it hurts the most, he really thinks just because he's big and muscular he can treat me like that, I really want to punch him in the face.

Suddenly the man puts his hand on the hilt of his sword behind his back and looks at me seriously as if he's ready to fight at any moment, Mari looks at me in surprise, Kira and Diana take my shoulders on either side.

"I know you're angry, but calm down a bit." (Diana)

"Don't lose control of your Aura." (Kira)

"..." (I)

With their warning I realized that a small amount of my Aura floated from inside my body, it feels like I was about to release it out of anger.

"I apologize, I was a little irritated by his words, it looks like I have to continue my training." (I)

"Looks like I misjudged you, it wasn't much but the small amount of Aura you released showed your strength." (Jonas)

"That's why I said before that you shouldn't judge people by how they look Jonas." (Mari)

"I should have known that someone who is close to Diana would be strong." (Jonas)

"Do you know him Diana?" (I)

"Yes, he was one of the Grade B adventurers who took part in the special mission to fight the Undead." (Diana)

"Let's start this fight soon, I have a lot of work to do today." (Mari)

"Fine by me, who's going to be first?" (Jonas)

"I'll." (Kira)

Kira and Jonas head towards one of the empty arenas, each going to one side.

"Start!" (Mari)

Kira was the first to attack, she ran straight to Jonas, then he uses his sword to cut horizontally, Kira jumps spinning and Jonas tries to punch her, so Kira uses the force of her spin in the air to hold her hand of Jonah and use the power of the spin to throw him to the ground, but then he shifts his center of gravity and pulls his weight back bringing Kira along with his arm.

Kira jumps to the side having already gotten close enough and kicks Jonas on the back of the knee causing him to fall to the ground on his knees, but just as Kira tries to make one last attack his leg is caught, Jonas stands up as he hangs Kira upside down.

"You have good hits, your every attack was well thought out, but you were tricked by Jonas who waited until the last attack to use all his speed when you least expected it." (Mari)

"Who is next?" (Jonas)

"Ibuki is next." (Ibuki)

"Start!" (Mari)

Just like Kira did, Ibuki attacks from the front at the start of the fight, Jonas tries to punch Ibuki who spins and elbows Jonas in the side, then he spins around to grab her with his other hand, but Ibuki spins around him. and tries to punch him in the back, Jonas kicks back making Ibuki throw himself backward opening a space over them that Jonas and Ibuki used to pull their weapons.

The moment the two swords meet Jonas uses his superior strength and weight to press Ibuki's sword to the ground and give Ibuki a body charge and throw her out of the arena.

"Who is next?" (Mari)

"Can I go along with my brother?" (Irina)

"Yes, you said you were the support type so I can only see if you are competent if you fight with someone else." (Mari)

"Start!" (Mari)

After the brothers have climbed into the arena, Mari begins the fight.

Irius throws himself forward while Irina throws herself backward already launching a magic circle that traps Jonas in a water bubble, Irius uses this opportunity to punch Jonas, his body starts to glow with Irina's power-boosting spell, but then he uses a blast of magical power to destroy the water bubble, wasting no time Jonas uses this opportunity to throw his sword at Irius who dodges by instinct, the moment he dodged he got kicked in the stomach, then Irius grabbed his leg. of Jonas and spun around to throw him backward.

During the spin Jonas holds the ground with his hand, then he uses the power of the spin to knock Irius out.

The truth is that Irina was defeated when Jonas threw his sword that fell in front of her, if Jonas wanted he could have sent that sword on her, this was to show that she was already defeated.

"It's me now." (Érica)

"Start!" (Mari)

Érica throws a magic circle that mounts in front of her, then a fireball leaves the magic circle flying to Jonas who uses his sword to cut the fireball in half, then he runs to Érica who uses another magic circle that makes a wall of fire appears in front of Jonah, but he cuts through the wall of fire with his sword and does a body charge that hurls Érica out of the arena.

"I'm the last one." (I)

"This is the last fight, so get started." (Mari)

I run in front of Jonas and just as he tries to use his sword to cut me from top to bottom, I spin to the side and kick Jonas's heel which he deflects by raising his foot.

Jonas switches his sword from hand during combat and uses his hand to try and grab me, I throw myself further towards him, I dove under his legs, then jump and spin in the air kicking the side of his head of Jonah.

When I thought it was over I was punched which threw me out of the arena and I landed on my feet.

"With that, we're done, you can come to get your cards tomorrow." (Mari)

"That fast? Thanks." (I)

"You were pretty little, but it looks like you lack combat experience." (Jonas)

"Thanks for helping with our last test." (I)

"Don't thank me, it was a Guild request, I just accepted." (Jonas)

After Jonas left Mari called us together for one last question.

"All of you are going to want to be part of the same group, right?" (Mari)

"Yes." (I)

"First tell me who will be the leader of the group." (Mari)

"It will be me." (I)

"And what name are you going to name your group?" (Mari)
