“When are ration’s coming?”
Arken asked Hiroto as they navigated through the collapsed city. 𝑖𝘦.𝒸𝘰𝑚
“They were supposed to come at the point…But not there. I haven’t received any report.”
“Shit…”
Arken cursed. They were already extremely low on food and now they would starve to death before they died to monsters or demons.
“Sigh…”
Hiroto sat down on a piece of Debris and Arken stopped to rest too.
Hiroto kept checking his Tablet, waiting for any notifications.
“We might have to resort to eating monsters…”
“…”
His suggestion scared Arken, who looked around.
“You think there’s food here?”
He asked, surveying the city. Searching for any stores.
“It’s gonna be hard…the only thing we are gonna find are corpses and maybe maggots.”
Said Hiroto.
“Damn it!”
Arken stabbed his berserker sword into the ground and yelled.
“WHERE IS FOOOD!?”
His loud voice rang out throughout the city, the echoes reaching places far and unknown.
“YOU IDIOT KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN!”
Hiroto yelled, He smacked Arken’s head and wrestled with him.
“Hey!”
“Fucker! You just exposed our location!’
“We were already in the open!”
But he was losing. It was nearly impossible to win against Arken in wrestling or anything related to brute strength.
*BOOOM!*
“…”
“…”
Suddenly, a large explosion stopped their scuffle.
Both Arken and Hiroto looked in the direction of the sound and immediately left for it.
“There’s an awakened fighting! The man is just ridiculous! Maybe it’s an ally but approach carefully!’
Advised Hiroto on the way, Arken remained quiet and sped up.
But…as Soon as they got there they were shocked to see that…there was nothing. No corpses, no buildings, not even any signs of battle at all…All that was there was a single young man. His long silver hair almost reached his waist and it was hard to believe he was a man with his beautiful face.
His golden eyes, similar to Arken scanned the entire area before landing on the duo.
“That your sister?”
Hiroto nudged Arken.
“No.”
He answered. Although Arken and the other individual did look similar, it was wrong to say that they were related.
Arken was a single orphan for as long as he remembered…wait could it be?
“Arken Miller and Hiroto Mitsuki, Am I correct?”
Suddenly, His voice rang out, It echoed throughout the area.
‘He’s using mana to enhance it…’
Arken and Hiroto had the same thought.
And, when they observed the area carefully…They concluded.
‘Mage.’
An extremely rare type of awakened at this time. Someone who was coveted everywhere.
“Arken Miller and Hiroto Mitsuki, Am I correct?”
A dozen Mana arrows materialized behind him, he Commanded authority and respect.
He took out his badge and confirmed his identity, and Arken and Hiroto both looked at that badge with awe.
“…Highest rank.”
“Damn, who let the bigshot here?”
When the number of arrows increased, Arken and Hiroto both answered his question.
“Yes, Arken Miller, High-rank Awakened Candidate.”
“Yep, Hiroto Mitsuki, High ranked as well.”
They responded and showed their badges. Slowly, the Mana Arrows disappeared and the individual descended. And Stated his name. 𝑖.𝑐ℴ𝑚
“Oliver Olsfer, Mage, Pleasure to meet you.”
Hiroto, hearing his name asked.
“Wait your a man?”
‘This idiot…’
Arken cursed his luck. Hiroto had to ask the most stupid question. Well, when you looked at the guy it wasn’t wrong to think he was a woman with his looks.
He had a feminine face that people would want to protect, and a frail body as well. But it was to be expected, he was a mage.
“Yes, I am.”
Answered Oliver nonchalantly. It seemed like he was used to it.
“I am here as another team member, Please take care of me.”
He bowed down and showed etiquette. To Arken and Hiroto, it seemed odd. Well, it had to be expected. Both of them were hoodlums and didnt really know about proper manners and the like. Oliver seemed to have a different past from them.
“Who knew we would be getting a mage! Nice!”
Hiroto was ecstatic while Arken remained quiet. He carefully observed Oliver. This was a natural behavior from him. He never trusted others easily, and given the number of enemies he had, it was not odd for him to think that Oliver was maybe an assassin sent to kill him.
“What is our next mission?”
Asked Oliver. Hiroto took out his tablet and said.
“We have a few more monster hordes to eradicate, but we don’t have any rations.”
“Rations?”
Oliver took out several rations from his spatial storage, and that was enough to win Hiroto, and even Arken over.
“Nice,” said Hiroto.
He even got a thumbs-up from Arken
********
[Oliver Olsfer PoV]
I had been in many teams before, Some even consisting of dozens of team members. But even then, his presence overpowered theirs, by a large margin. It was to be expected, he was a highly sought-after mage type awakened, and even among mage type awakened he was strong. Very Strong for his age in fact. His knowledge of mana was profound, and he was an extremely good Mage. He was wanted in many teams as well…But the teams that wanted him didn’t satisfy him.
Why would he be satisfied? When in seconds he could do what they could in hours, with no injuries as well.
Most teams consisted of above ten members, But when he looked at this team. It consisted of only two. This was rare, most duos or even trios didnt survive after just days. They would be swarmed with a high number of demonic beasts and rogue humans. Even teams much bigger would have to change members every few days because of the risk.
But in this team, it was just these two. These two had remained Alive and relatively unharmed for quite a while, so he looked into this team.
Without a Suitable enough team, a Mage would not be able to function to their fullest. Only with a team would Oliver truly flourish. And So oliver searched for a good team, and landed here after quite a few tries.
At first he was curious, but after a while. He became sure.
He found that team
