Present Day, many weeks later...

It's been a while hasn't it? Yeah, it has. Things have changed with Potion and me ever since we started taking things seriously. Now we're Lvl. 10 adventurers known as "Duo A". 

Right now, we're doing a ghoul kill quest. A band of monster ghouls had been terrorizing a nearby village. So, we're handling the job. 

The ghouls live in the outskirts of the village. Meaning that's where we are. And that's where we're fighting for our lives. 


"Hey, Chikao! Catch!" an leather armor-clad Potion gave me a heads up.

Two coloured daggers flew through the air.

I jumped, did a flip, caught them in my hands, and landed perfectly

I caught the two ghouls sneaking up behind me by surprise.

I stabbed one straight through the eye and sliced the other's hand off.

The other died instantly. The other...

"EHKKKKK~~~!!!!" it shrieked in pain and ran to cover.

"Damn, I got good!" I exclaimed, putting on my hood.

A bunch of ghouls cornered us from both our ends.

Potion and I stood back-to-back.

She quickly drank an orange-type potion and her hands glowed the same colour.

She put both her hands and pointed her palms at the ghouls in her direction.

"FEUER!!!!" she exclaimed.

FOOOOOOOOOSSSSSHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And two blasts of flame erupted from her hands, burning the creatures to kingdom come. 

I slashed the creatures on my end.

They all kept jumping at me...

One tried to swipe at my eyes with its claws.
