6 years has undoubtedly past and over the years I have grown into a fine young man if I may say so. And over the course of those years I had continued on with my daily training regimen and my stats were…I don’t know how to judge it because I’ve never talked nor played with my counterparts. Thus I didn’t know if my stats were great or bad.
I gave a sigh as I opened my status.

Although I did know some people who were close to my age. They were about 15 to 18 years of age. They are part of the village. Although when most of them reached the age of 15 they left the village. They returned three years later as F-rank tier three adventurers.
Oh yeah I forgot that adventurers have rank as well They are classified from
SSS
SS
S
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
With SSS as the highest and G as the lowest. Although reaching S rank is nearly impossible. They say reaching SS your power should be able to equal a hero’s and SSS was supposed to be the feat of a God. Also Before you could Rank up every rank has three tiers. Such as when you start in adventuring you start at rank G tier 1. Once you have completed enough quest you then rank up to rank G tier 2.etc.etc.
So them reaching rank F tier three was called as an amazing feat. Once they got back to the village they were appointed as head hunters to provide raw supply to the village from the wilds. However they got cheeky over time and has often left the bar, inn, and shops unpaid. However the people didn’t even bother to stand up to them since they were the hunters for the villages meat and hide.
Oh were you thinking about master Maria perhaps since she’s an former adventurer She’s rank D tier two, however she prefers not to but in on meddlesome things.
Five shadows loomed over as they started approaching the shop. As they stood at the shop the first to speak was Maximus the leader of the five who was also the eldest of them which is he’s 18.The others are James(17),Kyle(17), Bartoley(15),and Martilia(15).They were the assholes that I was talking about and the other one is female.
“Show me your finest blade.”
I hate how he speaks. It’s as if he’s commanding me. However I obliged since Ashtrall has left me to man the shop today since he went to the city. I went to the backroom and slowly took the blade from it’s stand. I then handed it to him. He took it from my clutch and gave a thorough inspection.
“Hmmmp. Good I’ll take it”
He turned around and started to walk away.

“Wait, what about your payment Maximus!”
“We’ll pay it later just put it in our tab” he replied as he got farther and farther.
{Oh hell no, You ain’t gonna walk out on me without paying! The old man will take it out of my pay and that blade costs 300 gold asshole. It’ll take me years to pay the old man.}
I ran full throttle at went past them and stopped in front of them .
“return the blade, I fully know you don’t intend to pay.”
Maximus gave a laugh while the members of his party started to put their hands on the handle of their swords. It was obviously to show intimidation and practically saying back off. No way in hell will I do that. I took a glance at each of their faces. And stared back at Maximus.
“If your so set in me not taking away this fine blade of yours...Make me” He said in an arrogant tone.
Once he finished his sentence I immediately dived in at him. I took out my handy dagger sheathed at my belt.
Ding!
You have equipped Fine dagger. Damage changed to 50-70
Maximus surprised at my attempt immediately took out his sword.
“Dark Pierce!”
A black fog enveloped my blade and it slowly shifted to a small rapier. I gave a thrust at him as he deflected my thrust with his sword. Tch! If he deflects with the sword the quality will get lower and It’ll be harder to sell it. I took a jump back and started to keep calm again.
This time however his friends took out their weapons. Kyle took out his sledgehammer in his back. WTF! A sledgehammer really? Martillia a female with jet black hair took out her bow and started to fire her arrows at me. I gave a flip as I dodge then Kyle and James approached me from the sides with their weapons ready to strike. James and Kyle both swung it wide and I gave a duck to evade it. Bartoley a buffed out guy with a giant war axe came at me from above. He swung at me full force. I managed to dodge him but barely. Maximus then came charging at me head on. I hardly had any time to recollect my stance that I jump backed . But without managing to avoid the blade. He hit me at the shoulder with a thrust on it. It lodged to the skin but when I instantly jumped back it removed itself.
This guys clearly knows how to fight as I thought five on one really isn’t a good odd and I may be powerful but these guys have experience on the wilds. I clutch my shoulder as it went on bleeding. Maximus gave a hearty laugh as I continued to bleed.
This time Martilia prepared to fire but I’m not going to stand here and wait for you to fire. I started mana shifting and changed the dagger to a katana. I then used blade extension to extend the short katana and charged at her at full force. James and Kyle immediately guarded her and tried to cut me off . I ducked and rolled to avoid them . Bartoley was already lunging at me with his axe high on his head.
I swept his leg and he fell on his face while Kyle and James came at me like mad mans. We exchanged blades and parried each other’s strikes. But I was getting push back by them and I instantly shifted to a back stance and held my ground. As the two finally got closer I parried James slash and then held it high up. The strike of Kyle was parried by James’ blade. Then slashed their stomachs. I changed the katana to a blunt edged and instead of opening their guts they were forced back rolling and knocking the wind out of them.
Maximus along with Bartoley that was now up assaulted me. We clashed head on with bobbing and weaving body movements all the while parrying and slashing. I took multiple cuts while Martila continued to pepper me with arrow fire. I got hit on my leg which made me give a smaller margin of error since one error and I could be dead. Maximus and Bartoley now saw my sloppy movement charged head on aggressively. I saw my chance and immediately countered.
“Dance of the eternal!!!”
A storm of blades assaulted both assailants that when it finally subsided they were both on the ground with white on their eyes. I was now panting as both was knocked out while I have lost a lot of blood. Martilia was still in the game and then she took a stretch with her bow and fired.
