Hannah and Amy were walking around downtown Ixto with boba tea. Hannah was wearing a white tank top, an unbuttoned red plaid shirt, denim shorts, and black running shoes. She was drinking a taro black milk tea. Amy was wearing black jeans, a black jacket, and black sneakers. She was drinking a cherry green milk tea.
“Nana, isn’t that Jack?” Amy said, pointing to the couple out in the distance.
“I guess he is out on a date with Aurora.” Hannah said. “Good for him. Amy, where should we go to eat?”
“I am feeling some Korean BBQ.” Amy responded. “And my dad just gave me a bunch of pocket money. Let’s go, I am paying.”
“It sounds like my uncle is quite generous with you.” Hannah said.
“Nana, you might think I don’t notice.” Amy said. “But I know that my dad favors me way more than you. Even though he is supposed to be your guardian, he only provides you with the bare minimum. So, I’ll take care of you.”
“Aren’t I older than you? And I am a Defender, while you’re an Attacker.” Hannah said. “I am the one who will protect you.”
“You’re only two months older, so it doesn’t count.” Amy said. “Then, I guess I’ll have to learn some Defense Magic. Oh yeah, where are you going with Oz tomorrow?”
“We’ll be hiking in Mar Mountain.” Hannah answered. “I never been there, so it should be fun.”
“I went there once when I was a kid.” Amy said. “It should be a great spot for a date. I bet you guys will have lots of fun. I am so jealous, I wish I had a boyfriend like Oz.”
“Let’s focus on where to eat, I think Michi Korean BBQ is around here in Market street.” Hannah said, taking out her phone. “It’s three blocks east, let’s go.”
Hannah and Amy quickly made their way to Michi Korean BBQ. When they arrived they saw the store sign, which said “Michi Korean BBQ” and it also had an orange tabby cat. As they walked towards the entrance they noticed Jack and Aurora were heading inside too.
“Hey Hannah, hey Amy.” Jack and Aurora said when they spotted the girls.
“Hey Jack, Aurora.” Hannah and Amy said.
“Why don’t we eat together since we are all going inside?” Aurora said. “I mean I want to get to know my boyfriend's friends. By the way, where is Oswald?”
“He is visiting Ayano Hashimoto.” Hannah responded.
“You mean the genius Magic Engineer?” Aurora said. “I guess being from an influential family helps.”
“Wait, he didn't tell me about it.” Jack complained.
“I mean he only told me because I asked him if he was free today.” Hannah said. “Well, at least I have a hiking date with him tomorrow.”
“That guy, he is always keeping secrets.” Jack said. “I feel he is hiding something big. I bet if he could hide he is from a noble family, he would, but the Deus last name is a giveaway.”
“Let’s go inside guys and get a table.” Amy said.
The four of them went inside and waited for a table. After a few minutes an employee guided them to their table. Amy scanned the code on the table using her phone and the menu for the ingredients popped up in her phone.Jack did the same as well.

“Nana, just tell me what you want to cook and I’ll order it.” Amy said. “I am going to order pork belly and chicken breasts.”
“Get some corn and sirloin.” Hannah said. “What are you guys getting?”
“Some wagyu and squash.” Aurora said. “When we get our Adventurer’s License, can I be part of your guy’s party?”
“I don’t see why not. You’re Jack’s girlfriend.” Hannah said. “What are you specializing in? I am a Defender, Amy is an Attacker, Oz is an Attacker, and Jack is a Healer.”
“I am a Healer with some Defense Magic.” Aurora responded. “I guess it works out since I can fill the gaps when you or Jack need assistance.”
“I was going to learn some Defense Magic. But I guess I’ll go for the option of the best defense is the best offense and focus on Elemental Magic and Pure Magical Energy.” Amy said. “I guess, Oswald will be our physical combatant. I mean he is the best. Even though he can’t use Magic, he can beat people who are using Magic.”
“How did he manage to escape from an A-Rank monster yesterday?” Aurora asked. “I mean our strength should only be enough to go against G-Rank monsters.”
“I don’t know. He had some injuries, but nothing serious.” Hannah answered. “I am just glad yesterday’s incident didn’t result in any major injuries. Who could’ve predicted that monsters would just come rushing at us like that? I was even taken by surprise.”
“I wonder if it was an attack by the Lunarian Rankers.” Jack said. “At least we were able to handle those monsters with minor injuries. But I'm still recovering my Magical Energy.”
“I don’t like them at all.” Amy said. “They are giving the hard-working regular Lunarians a bad name. I especially hate that man, Four, his attacks involve the most destruction and many more people lose their lives compared to the other ones. I mean during Two’s attack at school only Oz and Jack got beaten up badly by him, but no one died.”
“Yeah, Four is the worst.” Hannah said with a complicated expression. “The ingredients are arriving.”
A cat-like robot with trays on its back arrived. Amy and Aurora quickly took the plates with ingredients and then Amy pressed the cat’s head to indicate that they were done grabbing their ingredients. They began to grill their ingredients, Hannah began to smile as she smelled the meat.
“This will be so delicious.” Hannah said, putting some meat and vegetables on her plate.”This is good, we should get some of the marinated meat next.”
“Nana slow down, there is enough food.” Amy said.
“You really like to eat, Hannah.” Aurora said.
“I need the calories, do you know how much energy I use when practicing?.” Hannah said. “I am always training hard.”
“I been slacking lately, I need to start training more.” Jack said. “Last time I trained was last weekend when me and Oz went into the artificial dungeon.”
“Why don’t we have dates in the artificial dungeon?” Aurora said. “That way we train and spend time together.”
“You’re a genius, Aurora.” Jack said, grabbing Aurora’s hand. “We’re going to become a powerful couple.”
“But you’ll never surpass me and Oswald.” Hannah said. “We are above you guys.”
“Are those fighting words?” Aurora said glaring at Hannah. “Do you want to test that theory?”
“Didn’t you hear Jack? He has been slacking.” Hannah said with a smirk. “Right now, you two don’t stand a chance.”
“Oh really.” Aurora said. “Then let’s test that out tomorrow. We go into a fighting facility and face each other. Me and Jack against you and Oswald.”
“We’ll do it then.” Hannah said. “But it has to be in the afternoon. Me and Oz have a hiking date in the morning.”
“Deal. My family owns a battle facility, so we can go there.” Aurora said. “I can’t wait for this. Amy, you're welcome to come and spectate.”
“Of course, I’ll be there.” Amy said. “Is that Lee’s Battle Facility in Zapotes City?”
“Yeah that is the one.” Aurora responded.
“What did I get myself into?” Jack complained. “I’ll do my best then.”
“You guys better prepare because I am not going to go easy.” Hannah said with a confident expression. She the took out her phone and texted Oswald. “I texted him what we are going to do after our date. So get ready to lose!”
“I should be saying that to you.” Aurora said with a determined expression. “Me and Jack will be victorious!!”
