Chapter 2

Chapter 2 – Vision

“Aside from the rewards, materials from monster’s body and equipment are also source of income by selling it to a merchant .” – Graze

“Hmm, Hmm” – Eleu

Eleu is listening carefully with a curious face.

“But even if this is a Intermediate-level Nest, the monsters are still from Low Rank Nest, we may not get some high quality materials.” – Graze

“(Yes, our main goal here is to clear some leftover nests that mercenaries are refusing, so attacks from nests monsters will be lessen).” – Eleu

“Damn I wished I didn’t come here, aside from getting low income I’ll tutoring a newbie, hey are you even at the right age to be a mercenary?”- Mori

“That sounds a little rude senpai, even though I’m lacking a few centimeters in height I’m already at the right age! I’m 18 years old already.” – Eleu

Eleu sounds irritated.

“Hmph, don’t expect me to believe you. If you get in my way I’ll seriously report to the management that a minor got a power illegally. “ – Mori

“Hey don’t be mean to her, you are literally like her when you first start being a mercenary.” – Graze

“Y-You don’t need to mention that!” – Mori

Mori tries to hide her embarrassment.

“Ehh? So you are also just like me senpai? How do you look like when you first become a mercenary? Do you also ask irritating things to your senpai? Or maybe you are concern about me entering an intermediate nest even though it’s my first time?” – Eleu

Eleu is mocking Mori about the reason of her rudeness.

“Shut up or I won’t heal you.” – Mori

“Fufufufu unlike other supports I can heal myself you know, basically you are the one who will need my help senpai.” – Eleu

Eleu is talking with a mocking voice.

“Tch, ignorant brat if my class isn’t support I’m gonna teach you a lesson right now.” – Mori

“Okay okay, looks like you two are getting along- “ - Graze

“We aren’t!” – Mori

Graze and others went inside the nest, the nest is inside an average size cave. Mori uses light magic to light up the darkness inside the nest.

“Wow Senpai, how are you doing that?”

Eleu is amazed.

“Heh, if you want to learn this technique kneel down in front of me.” – Mori

“But we’re walking senpai.” – Eleu

Graze hit Mori softly on the head. Mori flinched a little bit.

“Hey teach her already we will need more light as we go deeper to the nest.” – Graze

“Aak, you don’t have to do that, you’re a strength type damage dealer a normal hit from you hurts so much.” – Mori

“Well you deserve it.” – Graze

They talked while walking through the cave.

“Teach her already it’s getting darker.” – Graze

“I know I know, now listen here you spoiled brat. Open your hand and picture a light in your mind.

Eleu do exactly what Mori told her. She open her hands and suddenly strong darkness came out of her hands. It illuminate all light around even the light magic Mori creates. The surroundings turn pitch black and everyone stops walking and confused about what happened.

“Hey what are you two doing, don’t play with your magic.” – Treinor

“What, what happen?, why it didn’t turn into light?” – Eleu

Eleu is so scared and confused. Mori use sensory magic to locate Eleu

“Calm down, calm down Eleu you’re making it stronger. Calm your mind and the darkness will disappear.” – Mori

Mori comforts Eleu by holding her hands, she can feel Eleu’s hand is trembling. Eleu takes a deep breath. The surroundings turn back and Mori's light magic lightened the area. The party stop walking for a moment. Eleu's sweating so much because of fear. Eleu stumble to the ground.

“What happen?” – Graze

“It looks like she have some kind of phobia in dark places.” – Mori

“Are you okay Eleu?, you can wait outside the cave if you want.” – Graze

“N-No I don’t know why I’m so scared about darkness. It feels like I’m remembering some kind of feelings.” – Eleu

“Hmm, it must be an event from your childhood that cause your trauma.” – Graze

“No that’s not it, I don’t remember any traumatic events from my childhood.” – Eleu

“But the more we get into the cave it’ll be darker and darker, without your assistance in light magic it’ll be dark. Are you sure you can manage?” – Graze

Eleu pause for a bit.

“Let's try it again senpai, I’ll try it again.” – Eleu

“But, if you failed” – Mori

“It’s okay I don’t know why I’m so scared but I need to overcome it to become a true mercenary.” – Eleu

“That's the spirit.” – Graze

Eleu open her hands, Mori put her hands below Eleu's. She tried doing it again but darkness comes pouring out of her hands again. It’s stronger than before. The caravaneer outside notice a faint darkness coming out of the entrance.Eleu take a few deep breath and the darkness fades away. She tries to do it again and the same thing happens.

Its already five minutes and Eleu is still doing the same. Tears are already pouring out of her eyes, and her hands are trembling even more.

“That’s enough Eleu, any more of these is dangerous. Your whole body is shaking.” – Mori

“Not yet, I need to learn it.” – Eleu

Eleu replies in a trembling voice. Mori uses a healing buff, this buff improves the vitality of a person. Eleu feels her body is so light, her breathes turns back to normal, Eleu calms down a little bit.

Eleu tried it again, she close her eyes and imagine a light coming out of her hand but suddenly a strange events flashes through her mind. This is not her memories, she is in a perspective of someone, a grown female that looks like a mercenary. Fires spreades around her, she is curling up in fear and trembling.

“(Wh-What is this)” – Eleu

Suddenly a faint shadow of someone comes toward her. She extends her arm to Eleu. She hear a faint voice of a female.

“It’s okay everything is alright, you do everything you could.”

Eleu suddenly stop trembling, she feels so calm and tears starts pouring out of her eyes.

“(What, who is this person, why I suddenly feel so comforting.)”

Eleu hears more faint voices but it’s not coming from the woman in front of her. Someone is calling her.

The sounds are becoming clearer.

“Eleu wake up!”

“Eleu!”

It is coming from her party members.

Eleu slowly opens her eyes, she is resting on a bed. Mori is resting beside her (Mori isn’t on bed). She pat Mori's head softly. Mori wakes up, she is blushing in embarrassment the moment she see’s Eleu.

“Wha- don’t get the wrong idea you little kid! It’s not what you’re thinking, I just don’t want to be blame when you won’t wake up!” – Mori

“How long did I slept?” – Eleu

“3 days” – Mori

“Looks like I overslept, hahaha my body feels a little bit numb.” – Eleu

“What about the nest? What happen?” – Eleu

“The moment you lose consciousness we retreat to the caravan they think that it’s an enemy attack, but Graze and I think it’s not. Some members claim that there are some strong magician monsters inside the nest but there isn’t they are just being cowards and decided not to continue the raid.” – Mori

“But what happen to you back there?” – Mori

“I saw a memory, no maybe a vision of someone” – Eleu

“Hmm is this someone you know?” – Mori

“No I’ve never her face I’m on her perspective so naturally I can’t look at my face.” – Eleu

“Hmm, just rest until you get better.” – Mori

“Yeah thank you for visiting me senpai.” – Eleu

Mori blushes again in embarrassment.

“Wha- I’m telling you it’s responsibility!” – Mori

“Haha you sure aren’t honest to yourself.” – Eleu
