Twenny looks at the crystal, then at them. "Once this crystal activates, the area will be sealed until all the monsters are defeated. Also, I'm not taking part in this." She turns and walks away to the edge of the plains leading to a forest. They're about half a kilometer away and they were warming up as Twenny was walking. Twenny sends EP into the crystal as it glows. "That's all this thing does. Just a light crystal."
She stretches her hand forward, "SUMMON WEAKEST CLASS MONSTERS." A runic circle forms before Twenny, monsters between level 0 to 5 appear from the circle reaching 30 in numbers. "Go." The monsters charge at Flint and Aku, they get ready to fight. The monsters ranging from slimes, goblins, orcs, mutated animal monsters to noble monsters of the same class.
Akua chooses a great axe from the pile of weapons and Flint readies his broadsword. 10 monsters rush to him and 10 towards Aku. Twenny chose to limit the number of attacking monsters to 10 each and 10 for later.
Flint charges at them as his thoughts, "I'll be powerful, no matter how long it takes. I will be powerful!" he swings his sword and 2 goblins are split in half across their waist. He makes a 360 degree turn and kills 4 more. He raises his sword high and it looms over a goblin filled with fear as it trembles until the broadsword crushes its head. The last goblin tries to run then Flint wraps EP around his sword and swings it beheading the goblin.
A few moments ago, just as Flint charges.
Aku readies her axe, she jumps high using her weight to swing down hard at the monsters. Her axe hits the ground and shockwave hits the goblins, then lifts it and starts hacking them, the goblins lie limb on the ground from the shockwave. Aku is excited, "This is a lot easier than I thought, at least the brat isn't bringing anything scary."
The remaining 10 monsters start to move as 5 go to Flint and 5 to Aku, these monsters a warrior monsters of level 1 with the leader being level 2.
Flint points his broadsword at them, "Come." He says in a commanding tone, if he wore armor, he'd been super cool.
4 goblin soldiers surround him, each holds a weapon. 2 attack Flint as he swings his sword hard at them killing them. The other 2 jump from behind him after he swung his sword leaving him open. "Tch." Flint uses the broadsword as a footing and lifts himself up kicking the goblins. He lands facing them and charges at them killing them all in a single hit. Immediately after killing them, he feels a sharp pain in his back.
The goblin warrior threw a knife at him and it's lodged in his back and he bloods. Flint grits his teeth in annoyance, "YOU LITTLE- "He slashes with his sword covered with EP releasing an ENERGY SWORD SLASH towards the goblin warrior. It tries to block but dies in half.
On Aku's side, when the 5 monsters were attacking her, she retreats. "This is a strategic retreat a~nd reevaluation of my choices." She runs to the pile of weapons and pick up 2 thin swords in both hands.
She turns around then she rushes towards them. Aku is enlighten, "The warm feeling, focus on my legs." He body glows blue as she uses a PHYSICAL ENHANCEMENT skill unaware. She moves quickly and rotates beheading the 4 goblin soldiers, she looks at the goblin warrior. With an arrogant attitude, "I thought you guys would be stronger. If I knew you were this weak, I wouldn't have cowered in fear over those childish stories. Warm feeling in my hands and feet." Her body glows blue as she dashes and cuts the goblin soldier into 3 pieces. "STREAM TRIPLE SLASH."
Twenny watches from the edge of the plains, she looks around her, EP crystals start to form and cover the grass. Twenny sighs with a sad look, "I've already lost 100,000 EP just from a simple summoning skill but it's better than my first idea. Training them personally, I might have kill them faster at that rate but this is good."
The crystal she took out earlier only glows, that's what it's made to do. EP leaves Twenny and the energy makes runes appear on the ground, it breaks (Activates) as 2 Goblin nobles appear from the runes each in armor. The goblins charge at them. Twenny looks at the top of the barrier. "10 days will be enough to increase the EP density of this barrier to that of the divine realm of under realm. I doubt they'll want to keep fighting for 10 days, still no level up for either of them. A bit of HEALING MAGIC should do."
Blue dust leaves Twenny and falls on Flint as his wounds are healed. Twenny nods as another runic circle appears before her, the runes break and kobolds appear from the circles. The kobolds reaching 40 all less than level 5 charge at the two as Twenny whistles while relaxes on the ground.
The kobolds attack them in groups of 5 and they fight it out till sunset. Flint and Aku are covered in traces of green blood, Flint leans on his sword, Aku stands tall as her heart pounds quickly. Twenny walks over to them, "Let's stop here for the night."
The 2 are surprised and taken aback. Flint forces himself to stand straight, "Didn't you say we won't stop even if we beg? "
Twenny nods, "I did say that. But your bodies have been pushed to their limits, not every day can people fight 300 monsters with levels 4 and 5 mixed in them. You're already stronger than any normal person here. You rest, I agreed to train you not kill you."
Flint looks down and disappointed, Twenny folds her arms. "Flint, what's wrong with you?" her thoughts, "What could make him want to push himself so hard, it's almost like he wants to die." She stares at Flint as he looks away. Aku steps forward, "He got his heart broken last night." Flint is shocked, "Aku?!"
Twenny nods, then tilts her head. "Huh? Wait, you got your heart broken so you want to die?" Flint stays silent, Twenny is pissed off though not enough to use full power.
Twenny punches Flint in the face as he rolls in the air and falls. He sits up holding his cheek with a shock, even Aku is shocked that a mage can have such physical strength. "You got your heart broken and want to die? THINK YOU IDOT! DO YOU THINK YOUR FAMILY WANTS TO BURRY YOU AT THIS AGE?! Man up, you got your heart broken so what? You're alive, ever consider that life's too precious to waste it wallowing in sorrow."
She raises her hands at Flint, "Coward! I've seen a lot of things but never an idiot who wants to die for a heart wound."
Flint's lips shakes, he's uncertain on what to say before Twenny. Aku steps in for her brother, "Now that's too far. Twenny I understand you want my brother to get over this but forcing him won't help."
Twenny walks before Aku, "If he can't see the good things in his life then he's better off dead." She turns and storms off leaving the 2 behind. Aku turns and helps her brother to his feet, "You alright lil bro?" Flint nods, "I just never thought of her to be like that." He stares at Twenny's back as she walks back to the village.
Aku checks Flint's cheek. "She hit you really hard." She takes an ointment from her pocket and rubs it on Flint's face. "But what she says has some truth. You've got me, Licia, mum and dad, even Chuck- " Flint raises a hand leaning back a bit, "I understand what you mean by Chuck but why add 'even'?"
Aku shrugs, "Never mind that. Twenny's also here to support you, though she's rough. I can say she cares about you. She's helping us for nothing in return. How do you think she felt seeing you like that?"
Flint looks down, reflecting on what happened. "You're right, I'm sorry I didn't consider the people around me. I'll apologize to Teacher tomorrow. I shouldn't let one event dictate the rest of my life."
Aku smacks his back, "I couldn't have said it any better." They set off back to the village this time not covered in the brown stuff.
[AU:INFO
- Twenny's EP appearing as blue dust is just how dense her EP is. In certain realms, this dust wouldn't be seen.
