13 - We Have a Crew!

“Quest Complete!

Quest: Recruit Myles Sterling (1/1)

Rewarded Gold Card!”

Ryan did a “Yes!” gesture with his hand. Myles sighed and spoke.

“I’m going to teach you all about being the boss.”

Myles said as he grabbed his uniform and dresses. He reached into his pocket for a cigarette. He lit it up and started to smoke.

“Follow me.”

Myles said. He started walking into the school; Ryan followed after. The students started to whisper all around. Myles didn’t pay attention to them. He kept walking; he reached an empty classroom. He opened it and walked in.

“You’ll need more people. You’ll need an advisor, 2nd hand, etc.”

Myles explained as he leaned on the wall.

“You got me to join your lame-ass crew. That means you’re my boss and I’m No. 2.”

Myles stopped leaning as Ryan nodded in agreement. Ryan spoke.

“I uhm also beat Johan.”

Myles's mouth agape; his cigarette fell; he quickly catches it and smokes. Myles said in an amused tone.

“Johan? Oh, that idiot. You beat him, but you won’t be able to take over his territory.”

Myles took a deep breath as he continued.

“You’ll need more men. You might be able to beat the boss, but as soon as you charge into his territory, His goons will surround you till you finally give up. We have to be cautious. Johan can charge in and take over the west side. He still doesn’t know that it’s only two of us. He’ll figure it out; he’s pretty smart.”

Ryan’s eyes widen. Although he beat Johan, Johan can still take over the West with his men.

Beep!

“New Quest!

Quest: Recruit 3 People (1/3)

Reward: Platinum Card & 3 Growth Cards”

Ryan was startled by the notification. He needed to recruit 2 more people. He will gain a ”Platinum Card” and those op 3 “Growth Cards.” Ryan looked at Myles and spoke.

“We need to recruit people. Do you know anyone?”

Ryan asked. Myles pondered the question for a few seconds.

“Yes. I know a guy. He’s a bit crazy, but it should be fine.”

Myles responded. He walked outside to the hallway; Ryan followed. Myles walked up to the roof and opened the door. There was a short, skinny guy. Ryan mumbled.

“I see you

Kenneth Elwood

Despite Kenneth’s scrawny appearance. He was pretty strong and durable. He’s quite fast.

“Kenneth.”

Myles called out as he walked closer to Kenneth as he was leaning on the rails. Kenneth turned around.

"Ah, if it isn’t Myles Sterling.”

Kenneth chuckled as he stopped leaning.

“We need you, Kenneth.”

Kenneth laughed.

“I don’t want to, though.”

Kenneth walked closer to Ryan. He seizes him up.

“Who’s this scrawny kid?”

Pretty ironic that it was coming from a scrawny guy as well. Ryan stared at Kenneth. He spoke.

“I’m the new boss of the West.”

Kenneth stopped chuckling; he slowly looked at Myles.

“This kid beat you?”

Kenneth asked mockingly.

“Yes, yes, he did.”

Myles said in a chill tone. Kenneth let out a hearty laughter. He suddenly stopped—

“You used Weave!”

Ryan’s body dodged out of the way of Kenneth’s punch. Kenneth’s eyes widen.

“You used Back Kick!”

Kenneth’s body goes flying. His body stumbles onto the ground. He stands up and laughs as he clenches his stomach.

“What a kick, Kid.”

Kenneth smirks as he closes the distance. Ryan dodges his punches.

“You used Jab!”

Kenneth simply grins. He ate his punch. He resumes punching Ryan; Ryan keeps dodging out of the way.

“You used Hook! You used Hook! You used Jab!”

Blood drew from Kenneth’s nose. Kenneth grabs his nose and simply chuckles.

“Nice.”

Kenneth rushes in. Ryan was getting pretty annoyed; Kenneth wasn’t going down easily. Ryan had enough.

“You used Rage!

Ryan grated his teeth as he fluidly dodged Kenneth's attacks.

“Supercharge card activated! Speed increased!

You used Hook!”

Blood splatters onto the floor, and Kenneth sobs his cheek. He quickly charges in.

“You used Jab! You used Back Kick!”

Kenneth’s body comes crashing onto the railings.

“Ow ow ow! Fine! I’ll join. Geez, it hurts now!”

Kenneth yelled out in an annoyed tone as he sobbed his cheek.

Beep!

“Quest: Recruit 3 People (2/3)”

[Few Hours Later]

Ryan is walking home. He needs one more person so he can finally complete his quest. He kept on walking until he heard some commotion near the alleyway. He walks towards the alleyway; he immediately clenches his fist; his veins bulging. He yells out.

“Hey! Leave him alone!”

Ryan sees 3 people beating up an innocent guy. The three people looked up and stared at Ryan. Two stepped forward.

“You’re Ryan, right? I believe you beating Myles was a hoax.”

One of them snickers as he cracks his knuckles.

“You used Jab! You used Jab!”

Thud…thud!

Two of them immediately fell to the floor unconscious. The last guy quickly scurries off. He looked at the person who was getting beaten up.

“T-thanks…”

He mumbled quietly. Ryan nodded; he started walking away until he looked at him for a few seconds. He muttered.

“I see you

Frank Miller

Age:?

Height:?

Strength: F

Endurance: D

Speed: F

Potential: F

Intelligence: SSS”

Ryan’s eyes widen. His stats were garbage, but his intelligence was something else. Ryan's mouth opened.

“Join my crew. You seem smart. Join me, and you won’t get picked on anymore under my care.”

Ryan said confidently. Frank stared up at him.

“J-join you? I don’t think… I shouldn’t. I don’t want to fight.”

Frank looked down. Ryan’s face softens.

“You won’t fight. You’ll just be the brains of the operation. Like a mastermind. You’ll be our advisor.”

Ryan said. He smiles at Frank. Frank ponders on the deal for a bit.

“Ah. Okay. Alright. I-I I’ll do it.”

Frank stuttered out.

Beep!
