-Drake POV-

Drake held his bowblade in his hand and he quickly started the battle by firing multiple shots towards the examiner. She easily dodged all his shots but using blade conversion and blade control on one of his sword caught the examiner by surprise. Despite the fact she wasn’t expecting it she quickly punched the blade which caused it to shatter. He switched his bow to blade mode and dashed forward and did a horizontal slash which she easily dodges.

-Cynthia POV-

Cynthia wasn’t expecting him to be that skilled, but no matter how skill he was she felt slightly upset by the fact she could easily end the fight whenever she wants to. Considering the fact that he was stronger than the rest of the applicants she had to fight she decided he should pass, but she wanted to enjoy the battle a little longer before letting him pass.

-Drake POV-

Drake continued attack despite the fact she was dodging everything. He was reluctant to show his trump card this early in the match, but he was the type of person who hates to lose. He activates the dragon mark on his hand. He had practiced using it beforehand on his way back so he was well aware of what it was capable of. The mark on his hand slowly spread until it reached his shoulder covering his arm in some kind of weird pattern. He sheathed his blade and lunged forward towards the examiner with the arm covered in the tattoo like marking. His arm suddenly transformed. His nails got longer like an his arms was partially covered in scales.

-Cynthia POV-

“Is that power due to the contract?” she thought to herself seing the dragon like arm similar to her partial form arm. His arm however looked incomplete since the arm wasn’t completely covered in scale. Another notable difference from her own partial form was that the scales were grey. Cynthia used her gauntlet to block his attack. Her weapon shattered into pieces as soon as his punch landed. She wasn’t injured but she felt that now was a good time to end the match. She noticed he looked exhausted and his arm was back to normal now.

“You pass” she said out loud as she stared at him for a while. It suddenly hit her the guy looked like David from her school! He altered his facial features a bit and his hairstyle was worlds apart but it was definantly him. She probably never realized before since she was always to deep in her thoughts on how to act like a NPC and not accidently reveal she was a player. She quickly excused herself and left the tournament area.

-Drake POV-

The crowd were still in complete shock that Drake actually managed to destroy a part of the examiner armor even more so the monster examiner who easily and effortlessly crushed everyone who went up against her. They were also curious about the transformation in his arm as they stared at him mouth unable to close due to the shock.

“Darn it. The skill would be so much better if I could maintain the arm longer than 5 seconds.” Drake thought to himself a little disappointed with the end result. Nevertheless he passed so now its time for him to try to increase his mana before the next tournament round so that he could use his skills and spells more freely. He left the tournament area and decided to check the mage guild to learn whats the best way to increase his mana.

-Cynthia POV-

Cynthia was a little flustered because it was David. She didn’t like him or anything but he was the only person she truly considered a friend in her life in school. She being the loner she is. The tournament made her unable to tell David the truth since he thinks she is a NPC. She calmed down when she realized she was wearing her mask. But her hairstyle was visible the whole time. She was unsure whether he was observant enough to connect the dotes. She decided it was better safe than sorry and that she would keep it a secret even from him.

She felt it would be a little lonely to wonder around the vast continent alone. So she decided to go to a pet shop and buy 2 pets. She earned quite a lot of gold thanks to her temporary job as examiner for the tournament. Pets bought in shops served no combat purpose and are usually serve nothing more than virtual pet. Its possible to gets pets that can fight but one would have to be a shaman. The explanation on how the pet system works and the difference between combat and non-combat pets was posted on the forum by a shaman, Cynthia happen to have read that post.

In the pet shop Cynthia browsed the various creatures they had on display. They were all the cute adorable type of pets but Cynthia was unsure what species they are. The two pets that caught her eye were ones that looked like a dog and one that looked like a cat. After further inspection the were rather cheap. They were both small animals and after questioning the shop keeper they would apparently not grow any bigger than their current size. The dog and cat like animals were off the same size. After putting some thought into it she decided to buy both of them to accompany her for her journey.

After paying for both pets she left with both of them. They seem to like her as they latched on happily onto her shoulder. She went to the lord who hired her for the tournament. She decided not to stay at the tournament since David was there and she didn’t want to risk it. After conversing a while and Cynthia apologizing

She left the lord house and went out into the fields filled with monster to continue her adventuring.

-Drake POV-

In the mage guild after some questioning it seems the guildmaster refuses to part from any information unless Drake does her a favour or change his class to something magic based. The later not being and option it seems he is forced to help her. She had a rather simple request. All he had to do was go and kill some wolves for their fangs.

He went out into the field which is filled with newbies chasing around bunnies like madmen. The funny thing was the fact that bunnies sometimes emerge victorious. Drake low lv life wasn’t as relaxing since all he had to hunt were demons. He enjoyed the calm atmosphere the place provided. He ventured deeper in to the wolves territory. A minute or two after he entered the wolf territory he got surrounded by a pack of wolves. He easily slaughtered the pack and left for town with his bag now filled with fangs.

-Cynthia POV-

Cynthia was quite far from town now. She felt guilty for suddenly quitting which probably put teh lord in quite a bit of a problem . She wouldn't have quit if she didn't find out the guy she was contracted was David, nevertheless she was still at fault.

After some time has passed she logged off since she has played enough for the day.
