After the beginning of the training 6 months have passed.

“BOOOOMM!!!”

That was the sound of a A.G making a hole on the wall of the barn Lance training was being held.

Lance was desperately avoiding the robot strikes.

“That damn thing got really strong!!” Lance though.

“This A.G should have the power of a C level monster, be careful to not die”. Said Drake

Drake gave his son a bad surprise. He powered up the A.G for today’s sparring session, and Lance was struggling with his opponent.

The A.G kept coming at Lance, without giving him time to think.

Lance was giving his all to parry the robots attacks, waiting for a opportunity to finish him.

Just when the A.G did a large swing with its left arm.

“That’s it!!”. Thought Lance.

Lance advanced on to the robot attack, and with its fist almost in his face, evaded the hit. Then proceeded to involve his hand with lightning and strike at the center of the A.G’s back . He was aiming for a fatal blow that would disable it and make him the winner.

Within this six months Lance discovered through experimentation that he had Manipulation aptitude for Lightning and Fire. During that time he trained very hard to improve his control and technique, achieving some tricks on the way…

When he was about to strike he felt immense pain… It was his father activating the collar. Drake would sometimes try to distract Lance to make him lose his focus…

But not this time!

With a CRUNCH sound, Lance’s hand went straight through the robot’s back. Seeing that, Drake stopped the actions of the robot declaring Lance successful in the fight. Being a robot, it was completely capable of continuing the fight, but Drake said that if he saw a fatal blow being made, he would acknowledge Lance’s victory.

Lance removed his hand from the A.G and asked.

“How was it, father?”

“It was decent….You should be able to handle a mission now.” Said Lance.

“What are you talking about, father?”

“You will be taking a job. With your level of power, you should be able to survive it.”

Drake was surprised with Lance’s progress and that was not because of his talent, but ‘cause of his perseverance. Lance would go through this hellish training everyday and wouldn’t complain. Drake was very pleased with that, because, for him, talent was useless without hard work.

“Now prepare yourself, I don’t know how many days the mission may take. Let’s go to our home, there you can say good bye to your mother and sister.”

With that, Drake and Lance exited the barn and went in direction of their house.

Arriving there, Lance played with his sister for some time to make up to the times he couldn’t. Sylvia was watching her children play… Drake had already explained that they would be out for some days for training and that made her heart tight, but was less stressed ‘cause Drake would be coming along.

After picking up some medicines and potions his mother had made for him, Lance said his good byes to his mother and sister.

_____________________________________________________________________

After running for about a hour, they arrived at the Gates of Brangi City.

Lance was stupefied, he had never seen anything like this. Drake and Sylvia never took their children outside the village before.

Lance was admiring the 10 meters metal gate which was the entrance to the city, which was surrounded by 11 meters walls and guarded by Heavy armored guardsmen.

After entering it, they went straight to a inn in the middle of the city.

Lance was puzzled.

“Father, shouldn’t we be going to the Adventurer’s guild to look for a mission for me?”

“No, be quiet. You will understand it soon enough”. Replied Drake while entering the inn.

While they were sitting a waitress came and said:” It’s a pleasure having you our establishment, mister Drake. Would you like to see the MENU?”

“Yes, but not for me. It will be for this little guy right here” Said Drake pointing to Lance

“Of course. Please wait a minute." Said the waitress with a disappointed face, she was expecting to serve Drake..

Lance was kind of confused, but was trying to get the general idea of what was going on.

Shortly after, the waitress came back and gave the MENU to Drake. He inspected it a bit and said, while passing it to

Lance :” You will be doing number 5521-2.”

Lance took the MENU and read the item his father told he would be having. In it said:

Contract on slavers.

Additional info: The targets will be, probably, leaving the Southwest city gate by 5:00 p.m. Possibity of having cargo is high.

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

Reward: 100 silver coins.

“I’m doing a assassination mission?!?” Though Lance with a complicated face.

He was exited for his firs mission, but also worried that he would not be able to complete it and lose his father trust.

"We will talk outside."

As soon as they left the bar and found a more secluded place, Drake said to his son:" You will pass through the ritual in less than half a year, and i'm not confident in your strength right now. If this was a normal situation you would be fine, but with what's going on in the wilderness... You need to be strong enough to, at least, flee."

”That's why i choose to have you take a assassination mission. Only true life and death situations can make you grow faster. Now go and don't come back until you have completed it!"

"Yes, father! I will make you proud!" Said Lance with a bright smile.

Drake only gave a small smile as a response.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the road, outside of Brangi city. There was a caravan with 3 men walking along side it.

"HAHAHAHA. Did you see that bitch talking back to me?!? She should've been happy that i only raped her and didn't kill her husband." Said a bald man with 3 scars in his face.

"Yeah, boss. We've got some real good cargo with us!!" Said a skinny man with long black hair and a disgusting face.

"We've hit the jackpot!!! HAHAHAHA." Said a tall man with short brown hair and a great axe in his back."

"Boss, only you had fun... Let me have a time with the girl." Said the skinny guy.

"NO! She's a virgin. If you do her, she will lose great part of her value!"

"Come on, Boss!! She will be only another girl in the market, our real lottery ticket is that cat we found, we've even lost

Doug trying to get him. Let me have my way with her!"

"Yeah, Boss! Let me too!" Said the tall guy.

"Umm... Okay, you've won me."

"YES! Thank you, boss, you are the best!!!" Said both man.

"I'm first, i gave the idea to boss"

"WHA...okay..." said the tall men with a sad look.

Seeing all that was Lance. Like a tiger, waiting for his prey to drop it's guard.

"That skinny guy won't be a problem... but i have to kill that bald one first, then that tall one."

He was following them since the beginning, so he heard all the atrocities these men had done. They had found out, by coincidence, that a farmer's house in the outskirts of Brangi city had a good looking girl with blue hair.

Being in the outskirts of the cities is dangerous, criminal factions dominate these areas and the cities guards don't really bother with it. Some guards receive money for cooperation, others just don't want to risk their lives for outskirts people.

With that being said, they got inside the farmer's house with vendors disguises. As soon as they were inside, they wrecked havoc beating up the farmer, raping his wife and kidnapping his daughter.

Lance was beyond angry, he wanted to eviscerate this people. He knew that there was bad people in this world, but he didn't expect that type of thing.

The skinny guy entered the caravan and after some time called out to his companion:" Fugo, where is the antidote for the tranquilizer we've gave her? It will be no fun with her like that hehehe"

"I don't remember... but i will help you look for it. The faster we find it, the quicker will be my turn!"

With that, 2 of the slavers were inside the caravan.

After some minutes there were a scream: " AHHHHH!! WHERE AM I???!! LET ME GOOOO!!!!"

Hearing that, the bald man turned to the caravan to say something, but before he could even begin, his head went flying....

Lance was waiting for this opportunity, and he didn't lost it...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Don't worry, girl. It will only hurt in the beginning, after that you

"NOOOO!! PLEA..... PLEASEE NOOO!!!!!! SOME.. SOMEONE HELP ME!!"

"Scream as much as you want, no on......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt immense pain. Then he looked to his chest, there was a hand passing through it.

The skinny man was scared shitless and looked to his side to plead for help from his companion, but realized that the same thing had happened to him.

Both of them collapsed with looks of disbelief in their faces.

Lance stepped up and said to the terrified girl:" It's alright, i'm not gonna hurt you. My name is Lance and I want to help you. What's your name?"

The girl wasn't believing what she was seeing.... First there were two men trying to rape her, now they are dead.

What's more, they were killed by a kid...
