Chapter 6: Chapter 5 : Adventuring and fight to the death Part 1

The team was perfectly prepared, Harry, the leader of the Iron 5-man party named " Legend to Be " in short, " L to B ", had recruited a new mercenary of the same levels as them, a starting lv1 Iron.

Averaging 16, the five-man party without the new member, they were eager to start hunting big game and in search of honour, however, their new addition mentioned going slow if they wanted him as the front-line.

As if cold water was poured on them, they had to agree as they all had chosen a class not made to stall and take most of the brunt during fight.

The team was made of 3 men and 3 women accounting the older guy.

From the outside, two pair were likely a couple while the last girl was the one in charge of supporting the two other girl.

Composed of one Swordsman, one Archer/Hunter, one Thief, one Priest and one Mage, the new member, Shin was in charge of tanking, using a shield and small spear.

The six of them had ventured deep in the forest to the South-East, toward the territory of the goblins, but stopping short of their territory as to hunt weaker monster.

Shin, the vanguard advanced without a care in the world as he treaded the front lane, scouting for animals and easy monster to hunt.

From behind, the five teens didn't dare to stop the one a lot older, Harry the leader tugged at the young thief woman sleeves, " don't you think this old guy is too carefree ? " He asked not liking how the older guy took the lead.

She shook her head, " Let him be, he'll regret soon enough being so carefree. " She answered as she didn't want to complicate thing from the start of their adventure.

Harry nodded hearing her, " But still Leïa, how come he is only level 1 at this age ? " He asked curious as to why such an old guy had decided to adventure so late.

The thief replied, " He may have some stories behind him. " She nodded while conjecturing an hypotheses.

As they were discussing, Shin was playing with the plant he modified on the way, augmenting them and sometime just adjusting their vitality as to level up his skill Level.

Soon the group attained the place were they had decided to set camp.

Using a magic tool, the magician, a girl in her mid-teens recited a spell as a barrier formed around them, " It'll cover base camp for 36 hours and make it seems as if nothing was there in a 10 meter radius. " She explained for those that didn't know.

Shin nodded being quite amazed by such an handy item, " Can anyone use it ? " He asked out of curiosity.

The mage shook her head, " Only the one having studied magic for a few year can, and even then, they'll still a lot of mana to be able to use it for a day. " She explained simply.

He nodded at her answer " How much mana would you need for a day then ? " He asked wanting one for himself.

She calculated quickly and answered, " At least 80 mana point, but the really skilled magician would need half this much." She added as to explain why her barrier was lasting a bit longer.

While the two conversed, the four other prepared the tent and stashed their supply near the center of the barrier as to keep it safe.

Yuley, the priest got close to Thomas the hunter as to talk about the situation, " Do you believe we can trust in this man ? " She asked the hunter Thomas.

The young brown frilly haired man Thomas answered, " If we can't even trust the mens at the front line, who could we trust ? " He asked her back as he seemed to be the most trusting of the lot.

The young Blond haired priest nodded, " I just wanted your opinion, since mercenary don't really have a great reputation. " She explained, not wanting to cause a misunderstanding.

Harry, the swordsman approached them, " At least, even if he were to be a villain, he still only is level 1, so we could take care of him easily combining our strength. " He explained why he took the man in their team.

As he was saying this, Shin called out to them, " I'll take a nap for two hours, we'll go hunt right after. " He explained, " You should rest while you can kids, the barrier repel everything but the thing inside at the summoning. " Shin said as he laid down on the ground.

Harry frowned seeing the man being so laid back while they were in a dangerous hunting zone, whispering to the group near him, the thief Leïla having joined them earlier, " I think we could pass on him next time we go hunting. " He said, getting the approval of the two young women and a slight approval from the kind Thomas.

Joining Shin in the napping group, Vivi laid down beside the man without a care and closed her eyes, soon, the two were lightly snoring completely clueless as to what was transpiring.

Leïla shook her head seeing her childhood friend so carefree, " We should separate those two before they become too close, this girl really is letting her guard down so easily. " She said as she worried her friend might one day be scammed.

The other approved by nodding, and soon they all were rotating in the guarding duty since they weren't sure the barrier was as safe as the man had said.

Two hour passed by quickly, and Shin woke from his nap, his torso a bit heavier from the weight of the young girl head.

Tapping her forehead with his finger, a thump thump thump sound resounded lightly as the girl opened her eyes.

Shocked by their proximity, the young girl blushed as she sat straight away, while Shin casually stood up, " No thank ? " He asked her as she used his torso as a pillow casually, only making the young girl blush.
