"To your right!" A girl shouts from atop a tree, alerting her teammates of the incoming attack.

Hearing her warning, her two teammates jump back, resulting in a boar's tusks barely missing them. The first, a tall, blonde boy with orange eyes and a sword and shield on each arm. The other, a dark haired boy with aqua eyes with a silver gauntlet on each hand.

Taking a second to recover, the blonde responds while taking a defensive stance. "Thanks Tempest! Hey, how many more boars are there?"

"Ten that I can see." Tempest responds with a grimace. "I'll pick some off, stay back." She finishes, pulling back her bow and sending a barrage of arrows towards four stragglers. Each one starts to get pummeled by arrows and they all fall over, successfully killing them.

Right after the four fell the boy with aqua eyes dashed after two more. He sends a flurry of punches to both and they fall shortly after. Smiling to himself, the boy is oblivious to the three sets of eyes sneaking up on him from behind. Turning around, the blue eyed boy notices them right before they start charging towards his person. Not having enough time to react, he suddenly feels a force push him in the ribs, Resulting in getting the wind knocked out of him.

"Look out Sirius!" The blonde yells, Crouched down and shield raised to block the three boars' attacks. "Geez, You're lucky I was close to you. Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine... Thank you, Neirin." The brawler answers, still out of breath.

Looping back around, Sirius, the ocean eyed boy, runs behind the three boars attacking the blonde and is able to take one out. Using this opening, Neirin keeps his shield up and swiftly slices the two left in half with his sword.

Rushing over to his teammate, Sirius started shouting with the largest smile on his face. "We did it! We're level 13 now!" He comments while pointing to the number next to his name above his head. "We'll be able to upgrade now!"

Looking up at his own level Neirin breaks into a smile as well. "Yes! Let's goooo!" Neirin replies back just as joyfully while sharing a high five with his teammate.

Adorning a smile as well, Tempest prepares to head down her tree just to be stopped in her tracks. There was one more boar left and it didn't look like it was ready to turn tail and run just yet. Sneaking up once again on her teammates the animal starts sprinting towards them, head down and horns ready to feel flesh.

Swiftly grabbing her bow from her back, the archer pulls it back and with one crimson eye open lines up the shot. Waiting for the right moment, the girl releases her hold on the string and fires without hesitation. The arrow flies directly for the raging boar and goes through its skull. The animal released a cry and  immediately fell face first into the dirt, sliding next to the celebrating boys.

Stopping their celebration, the two teammates look over to the now deceased boar and jump back.

"Geez guys, be more observant." Tempest scolds before dropping down to the ground. "I told you both that there were at least ten boars. Not nine. That last one could have got one of you." The girl finishes. Strapping her bow back on her back while doing so.

Turning to his teammate, Sirius lets out a nervous chuckle. "Well, we have nothing to fear with our diligent archer around right?"

"Compliments aren't going to get you anywhere." The girl says with a sigh. "Besides, there were two of you, one of you must have seen that boar right?" Tempest concludes while glaring at Neirin.
