Chapter 2 the entry capital

*akumo hides away from all the people as he leans on a wall and breathes heavily*

Akumo: phew! If I had stuck around I would had probably been exiled or something, why cant they just appreciate what I’m trying to do?!

*akumo spots a board filled with paper*

Akumo: what’s this?

*the paper reads, major help needed. The north district academy is in dire need of rescuing, a tyrant and his group has taking over the school and is in need of mages who are capable of the job*

Akumo: well, I’m technically a mage! So, it should count but what’s the reward looking like?

*Akumo is in shock to see the reward*

Akumo: what?! 10.000 dollars?!! Mom would be so happy if I came home with this amount of cash!!

*akumo clashes his fist*

Akumo: alright! Let’s save this school and beat this tyrant!!

*akumo runs off as he drops the paper, the paper falls and flips on its back reading “caution, hostages are being held and will kill if not careful, seek a party of b rank mages or above to be official assigned for the quest, later akumo spots a platform*

Akumo: ah! There it is!!

Man: hold it!

Akumo: what’s the deal old g?

Man: you have to pay and wait in line like the rest of these people, no cutting!

Akumo: ah what? Then how much is it?

Man: 70 dollars

*Akumo is perplexed*

Akumo: I… don’t have that kind of money…

Man: then scram!!

*Akumo walks away*

Akumo: you suck…

*Akumo walks around to see the villagers scrolling on a pad of locations on where they want to go*

Akumo: if the school is called north district academy, then that must mean that it is in the capital! All I have to do is see which of these people are going there

*Akumo watches from afar as he sees someone scroll through a tablet on a alter and click as a beam of light shines on them and vanishes. Akumo see’s this opportunity and pushes the next man in line as he scrolls through the tablet*

Akumo: sorry! I have a school to save!

Girl: WAIT!!!!

*Akumo finds the north district capital and clicks as the teleporter prepare itself. However a sudden angry yell from a familiar girl calls out to akumo telling him to wait*

Akumo: sorry! I have a school to save!!

*Akumo teleports and appears within the north district capital, he is amazed to see high buildings surrounding him and from afar a large castle in the center of it all*

Akumo: so, this is how the capital is like? Is amazing!! I’ve never seen such big buildings before! Oh! The school, I have to ask for directions

*Akumo grabs his flip phone and takes pictures while the locals give a look of distrust towards him*

Stolen story; please report.

Akumo: oh! Right, I have to ask around for that school

Man: a peasant is here?

*Whispers are heard from all around as akumo gives a look of awkwardness*

Man: what is a peasant doing in our holy land?!

*Akumo looks around to know who said that and points at himself as a sophisticated man walks up*

Farquad: I am farquad grandeal!

*akumo snorts*

Akumo: farquad? Ok, do you know where the school that is being attacked is?

Farquad: the school? You mean the glorious north district academy?!

Akumo: oh yeah that’s what it called! I need to know where it so I can beat the tyrant up and get the reward—I meant save the school

Farquad: ha! What kind of peasant do you think you are?! You are not capable of such task, I doubt you even have the magic power to even get past a measly monster

Akumo: you wanna bet?

Farquad: you dare challenge a royal? Ha!

*farquad removes his gloves and throws it at akumo, hitting his face*

Akumo: I think you dropped something, here ill pick it up for you—

Farquad: no, you fool! That is how duels are initiated, I throw a peace of clothing at you and if you accept you throw one at me then we start our battle

Akumo: ok…

*akumo looks around his body and removes his sandal and throw it at the royal boy which hit his head*

Farquad: ow! That hurt!!

Akumo: sorry!

Farquad: mocking me?! You little—animal magic! Freedom’s wing!

*a eagle formed from magic appear and flies at akumo, akumo ready’s his fist as he shoots lightning which overpowers the eagle and hits the boy causing an explosion*

Akumo: oh, I win! Now can anyone tell me where the academy is?

*akumo wonders through the busy street of the capital as he is amazed to see everything*

Akumo: this place is awesome!! How have I never come here before?!

*akumo continues his walk as he sees two figure in a alley*

Akumo: they even have mugging!

Girl: help!

Man: shut it!

*akumo peeks back as a mugger tries to rob a girl*

Man: just give me what I want kid! Lets not make this rough!

Girl: please I need this to buy him what he needs! If I don’t come back with them he’s going to kill me!

Man: I don’t give a fuck! Give me your damn money!

*akumo grabs the mans arm*

Akumo: hey!

Man: huh? Who the hell are you?!

Akumo: give him his money back you thief!

*the mugger and girl are confused*

Man: uh…what he said!!

Girl: ah, wait he—uhh…

*the girl begins to cry*

Girl: he’s the one robbing me!!

Akumo: oh! You’re the one then!

*akumo spin kicks the man knocking him out*

Akumo: sorry for the confusion! Well I’ll see you around!

*the girl was confused but couldn’t help but question akumo’s actions*

Girl: wait…why did you save me?!

Akumo: why? Because I beat bad guys and as we speak im on my way to beat one up right now, you see he took over a school and im trying to get it back

*The girl was shocked to hear the words from akumo as sweat drips down her face and her hands shaking*

Girl: you’re…going after him? don’t please! For your own safety please don’t go!!

Akumo: why not?!

Girl: he’s a dangerous man! And not just that he has 4 others in his team his elites! If you go alone! You’ll surely die!

Akumo: well, you ain’t gotta worry!

*akumo points at himself and gives a look of purr confidence*

Akumo: because once I take these guys down then everyone will know who I am!! Because that’s what a hero does!!

*akumo walks away leaving the girl questioning who he is*

Girl: (a hero? just who are you?)

*meanwhile akumo stumbles upon the gates leading towards a metal bridge. He was stopped by guards with assault rifles guarding the gates with a fence and barricades*

Akumo: hey I’m here to kick butt!

Guard: where is the rest of your party?

Akumo: they should be on their way…

Guard: I need your id and emblem

Akumo: well I haven’t applied for an id yet I’m not 18 and I don’t know what a emblem is

Guards: so you’re not from the monster hunter force?

Akumo: uhh no?

Guard: you are legally not allowed to do this quest and since you’re not registered to the force I will have to ask you to leave

Akumo: what?! But I’m here to help!!

Guard: if you don’t leave the premises this instant then I will force you out and I will have you arrested

*Akumo reluctantly walks away*

Akumo: do really have to beat these guys up? No, I might get in trouble later, oh I know!

*the guards talk to each other as akumo sneaks around on a makeshift bush, jumps over the container but falls face flat on the ground as he sneaks away*

Akumo: haha!!

*akumo makes it on the bridge and walks across*

Akumo: so stupid! I don’t need a team! I can do this on my own!

*akumo spots a buildings he leans to the edge of the bridge to get a closer look and with amazement to see the school campus on a island surrounded by the sea*

Akumo: so that’s what the school looks like!! Its amazing! I should have my mom to apply me here!

*akumo reaches towards the first gate but was met by 3 enemies*

Boy 1: stop right there!!

Akumo: hey are you here to help?!

Boy2: what? No! We’re here to take out any intruder!

Akumo: well, I guess I’m an intruder

*They all attack at once but akumo effortlessly leaps back and dodges their attack*

Akumo: close one…

Boy 3: our boss doesn’t appreciate you mages trying to stop us!! So well give yo a fair warning and get out of here!!

akumo: no way! I just snuck in here there’s no way I’m going to walk away!!

Boy2: then that explains why you’re alone then?

Boy 2: only idiots would risk their lives to fight all of us alone!

Akumo: then I must be a big idiot then, because I’m here to take all of you down!
