Waking up to a bright m, Lumina got bato a routine of getting dressed, going down to get breakfast, ing back up for a quick bath then headiing ready. Once she leaves the inn, she jogs to the Hunters Guild in the inner ring ready to take the final examination.
Lumiers the training grounds to see the others who passed the st test either hanging around or sitting, waiting for the examio e through. After a period of time, the examiner from before heads into the room all kitted out iher armour with his broadsword sheathed to his side carrying an imposing air of momentum.
"First off, the names Newman and ill be your practical examiner. Now the test will be to hunt a lightning bear in the edges of the forest of silend be aware I will not be helping you under any ditions, the trag, mapping and hunting have to be pleted by you and you alone. Are we clear?"
After saying this, everyone in the room nodded "Good, now lets set out." Leaving the hunters guild, Lumina and the rest headed to the south gate in which Lumina arrived from a couple of days ago heading towards the silent forest.
On the way, the pany started to make some small talk to each other to increase a little bit of radery making sure that the team goes well. The swordsman decidedly introduced himself first as "Dave, exiled from the dominion of the holy sun empire, main ons the sword but I also hahe spear as well what about you guys?" He asked in a rather gruff tone.
"My names Sharron and studied the art of elemental magid apprenti earth and fire as a specialty, born and raised here." In a retively monotone voice, Sharron answered before motioning her eyes to the cat beastkin to go .
"Names Sheryl, thief and trained assassination under some weird old ass man in the slums nya hehehe." Sheryl was the most animated and tagiously joyous bringing up the mood.
"Ternan, scout bowman." The elf answered in short sentences revealing an arrogant tone as if telling others to ask him for more information which the others furrowed their brows towards him not wanting to py into it.
Sheryl asked in my dire "What about you?"
Pointing to herself, Lumina started to answer in a cheery tone ign the look of indignation from Ternan. "The names Lumina, apprentiife wielder and have just arrived here from the outskirts of Moraz, further in the forest of silence."
After introdug themselves to each other they reach the edge of the forest of silence. "So what's the pn?" Dave asks towards the group of people.
"The lightning bear, a stage two magic beast that wields lightning increasing the speed and agility whilst having the thick skin and fur." Sharron speaks in her monotone revealing the strengths of the beast "Weaknesses include the earth as a lightning dampeherefore whe casts lightning to attack I'll defend usih."
"I'll use my skills as a swordsman to attract attention and possibly temporarily tank preventing it from targeting our long distaackers." Dave adds to the pn using his own judgement.
Lumina at tis time speaks up. "Due to my skillset, I will find weaknesses and sneak attack while you grab attention while Sharron casts defensive magid Ternan deals ranged firepower to antago. Meanwhile Sheryl should find opportuo expand upon the wounds that it will receive."
"Ok nya!" Sheryl smiles pumping her fist in the air in an excimed excitement while Ternan merely grunts in dismissive acceptance.
As everyone came to this clusion, they got inth formation as Ternan summoned a small bird that took to the skies using it as a medium to scout while everyone walks carefully yet tensely into the forest. However, due to my ability to sense hostility I found myself rexing while diminishing my own presen the group which didn't go unnoticed by the k hunter. She seems used to this, it may seem like she is being arrogant but I tell that she feels nothing nearby threaten her, I must keep my eye on that one.
After several miernan stops and crouches to the ground pg his hand against the earth feeling the tracks. "The targets only a couple minutes away and alone."
Hearing this, everyoensed up aowards the target with a sense of absolute determination. A couple of mier, the target was in sight, a rge bear that was bck with white streaks revealed here and there on its fur. Dave drew his sword about to attad distract the bear when an arrow flew through the air hitting the bear in its side waking it up.
RRROOOOAAARRR!!!!
The beast woke up with a rge growl of pain turning its head in our dire. "Shit, ge of pns, cover me!" Shouting out, Dave ran headlong into the sight of the bear as Sharron summoned a coat of earthen armour on him. While this was happening, Sheryl got into a defensive position in front of Sharron as Lumina hid her presence. Weaknesses are its eyes, hi leg. ing to these quick calcuted thoughts, Lumina drew both her knife and dagger and hid behind a tree near where Dave drew its attention towards him.
Ssh, Dave sliced his sword horizontally at the bear yet its enormous size mao dodge the attack, the white fur starting to glow, charging an attaow! Lumina threw the dagger towards the bears eyes and sprinted behind the bare sliding into a crouch attag what looked to be a severely wounded hind leg.
ROOOAAR
The bear roared in pain as the atta its eye slightly bli leading blood to drip down its snout. Turning around it used its lightning to attack Lumina making her weave backwards as a wall of earth separated the lightning and Lumina. Taking this opportunity Lumina and Sheryl switched positions where she used her sickle to reach around the wall and attacked the other eye.
Dave using this momentum swung at the bears hind leg cutting it off entirely at the joint leading a mass of blood to spew out. Lumi bato a towards the bears neck hoping to get a ssh through but sensed a moment of hostility behind her making her dodge out the way of what ierg arrow shanking itself into the bears mouth. Feeling disgruntled a this, Lumina slit the bears throat leaving the bear to finally die.
"Is it over?" Dave questioned after rec from panting.
"It should be." Lumina says after a couple of moments watg to ehat the bear doesn't twitch. Everyoarts closing in towards the bear when Dave suddenly swings round and puernan in the face.
"What the fuck were you doing, huh? you went against the pn that we all agreed to and nearly put Lumina in danger with your st antic of attag near where she was with that mispced arrow yant prick!" Dave started shouting vulgarities in Ternans' face as he starts bleeding from the nose.
"Enough, everyos head back as I give you a review back at the hunters guild." Cutting in, the k adventurer prevents the argument and personal attacks from going further while Ternan was shooting Dave and Lumina filthy looks.
After a good half an hour, the hunters guild was finally in sight, everyone approached what looked to be ay room. "First of all, Sheryl, good for staying put and proteg those who needed proteg and attag at moments of opportunity allowing your teammates to rest."
"Hehehe Nya." Feeling shy, Sheryl scratched her head while ughing.
"Sharron, good support making timely and mueeded assists when necessary ensuring teammates were safe from afar whilst they dealt the main damage." tinuing on the k hunter added. "Lumina, great field support alongside Dace targeting obvious weakness, you may o sider situations that you wont be able to create effective damage though, just keep that in mind."
"Got it." Lumina says with determination, taking what he says seriously as advice.
"Dave, good job under pressure taking the lead when a pn didn't go as it was foreseen ing to a quick yet effective judgement however, you may o hold back yression and ensure your surroundings are safe before you decide to deck a teammate in the face." After giving a slight admonishment after praising Dave's quick thinking he finally got to Ternan revealing a serious expression that appeared unamused.
"Ternan, you put the group in danger by not ing to the id out pn and antagohe bear without cheg your teammates, then you nearly risked putting Lumina in danger by attag her without knowing her capabilities. If she didn't doge that arrow it would have been a dead teammate looking at you therefore I clude that everyo Ternan passes."
Ternans face started to fall before st off out of the room smashing the door heavily against the walls. Looking back at the k adventurer he says "Here are your referral notes, head to the front desk and the receptionist will give you your badges, cards and give you each a rundown on how we operate now go."
After this he left the room leaving us be.
