Master Virginia, sat at her desk looking through her father's
things that he had given to her, in his will, he wanted her to find
his killer, and her twin sister. She had knew that her father had
known that he was being hunted by the Shadow Force, a skilled
guild. BlueWing had managed to take down the deadly Guild in a
matter of days. She'd also knew that her dad had led the attack,
and that only few had escape their deadly attacker, with major
injuries.
Returning from a c-class mission to suppress a rogue mage and
gather any intel, Erebus first garbs something to eat "ah man
another dead end, guild master probably won't be happy". After
resting a minute and finishing eating he get's up "welp better go
make my report, don't want to get hit again for being late" he
mused to himself as he headed for the Guild Masters Room. Reaching
the door he knocks while saying "guild master I've returned may i
enter?" he stood waiting for a reply.
"Come in" replied Master Virginia, as she flipped though some
papers, she looked at him, " What is it Erebus?" She asked, staring
at him. Collin sat behind a desk and was peacefully sleeping.
Seeing Collin Sleeping, Erebus couldn't help but let out a wry
smile that guy, everytime i see him he's sleeping, well being
S-class he must be busier than i am. I'll get there one day
though. "Guild master i came to report on my mission. I
successfully captured the rogue mage, but he had no intel on any of
the remaining members of Shadow Force like we had heard." Erebus
stood there watching Virginia hoping a book wouldn't come flying
his way, While guild master can be very nice and sweet, she has
a bit of a hot temper when it flares.
"Good job, remember the Intel that is given to us might not be on
exact points" Master Virginia said, she pick up the stack of paper,
"Collin let's go" she called to Collin, she gaved a wave for Erebus
to follow her, she piut some papers up on the board and headed to
the training area behind the guild.
"Understood Master Virginia." Watching her movements and hearing
what she said, for the first time in awhile he saw that always
sleeping Collin get up following Master Virginia. The training
area why there? "What are we going to do there Master?" Erebus
Said while following Master Virginia and Collin.
"Two reason, first that she might train with us or second that we
might get a hard quest" answered Collin, as he paced himself with
Erebus, he pointed to the piece of paper that Master Virginia was
holding.
Master Virginia open the door, she walked in and looked at the
paper again, this mission is to hard for Erebus and too much for
Collin to handle she thought, " Okay listen up u two" she said,
waiting to go over the mission, she didn't want anything to happen
to them during the mission. The Trickester she thought.
"Oh training or a difficult mission.. I'll take on either one. I
mean training with two S-class is a good way to get stronger
safely, but taking on difficult missions raises your actual
experience." Erebus said somewhat happily i have been hoping for
a chance to see how far I've come recently... this seems to be the
best chance. All attention Focused on Master Virginia when she
spoke.
"I'll hand this to you if... You can defeat me one a one vs two
fight, you can do whatever you want, I also want you guys to try to
do a combo between your powers" said Master Virginia as she waved
the piece of paper.
Collin looked at him, "Let's get to the top, so that we can make a
plan" he said pointing up at the second floor.
"Alright, but Collin will a strategy really work on our guild
master? wouldn't trying to be unpredictable be better?" Erebus said
while heading to the second story. still i may say that but even
that may not work. "Oh Collin i have one plan we could use, and
it might just get us the win." Erebus said smiling widely. "sorry
guild master ahead of time, just in case we hurt you."
"Hmm, it might work but if it fails we'll do plan b" Said Collin
looking at his guild master he step forward, she wasn't moving
back.
Master Virginia listened to them, making a plan and confusing
the target she thought, "You guys are doing well" she
commented, she let some part of her relax. Lets see what they'll
do next
"Well Collin plan b is good and just in case" Erebus leans in to
whisper to Collin "I have a new technique I've been working on, but
currently i can only use it twice a day" After looking at the guild
master, making sure she was far enough away he continued "this new
technique of mine will trap a target in shadow sphere both blinding
and restraining them, but there are two conditions. The first is i
have to be within 2 meters of the target the second is it will only
last for about 5-10 seconds. So on top of consuming a large amount
of power it has conditions, but if it comes down to it we can use
it as plan c and while she is held in one place, you use your ice
to trap her." Finished talking he looked at Collin with a somewhat
proud look.
Collin nodded "In that case I won't bother you about it, but the
more you use it, it'll help the stamina, and I won't get in the
way, but I'll help you get her into a 2 meter radius", he planned
his attack to, he'll use his meduim ice magic, just to freeze her
in place
Master Virginia gaved him a quick nod, "If you can handle it" she
said.
Collin had left sneaking tho the shadows he left ice patches on the
ground, he froze the the floor, around the walls, so that she
didn't have grips in the area.
Seeing Collin's first move Erebus reacted by placing his hands on
the ground and sent a small dragon shaped shadow out towards
Virginia. "We will take this challenge master Virginia." Erebus
said with some confidence.
That thing is to slow, where's the light coming from? he
wander, he looked up trying to look for the light source, he made
sure he had enough to make a dorm over them.
Interesting she thought, "But it's to slow, it'll be good
for an assault attack, not for a face on, you left many spots open
for your attacker" Master Virginia said, as she made a swift shot
at his side, she went back to her spot and waited again, she was
starting to regret it niw
Blocking the side shot and getting knocked back a few feet, Erebus
twist to land on his feet barely. i knew she was strong but
she's this crazy fast too, this really won't be easy. "You are
right but what it lacks in speed it makes up for in tracking. This
ability will follow and constantly attack for a short duration of
time, so it should it least keep you on your toes Master Virginia."
Looking to Collin he signaled it was time for phase two of their
plan.
"Hearing that sounds more interesting, Erebus, let see how well you
do with close combat" said Master Virginia" she knew where Collin
was, but she wasn't worried about his close combats skills, she
took a step forward facing Erebus, she walked towards him, seeing
that he was still wobbly from her hit.
This is good, my plan might work he thought as he silently
ran at her. He skidded to a stop and jumped upwards towards the top
of the room.
Well so far so good, my dragon will only track her for a minute,
with her speed it might get close two more times while were
fighting up close. That should be enough time to stall for.
Steadying himself as Master Virginia approaches "alright then close
combat it is, don't be too surprised though, I've gotten better
since the last time we sparred." Erebus prepared to step forward
aswell.
