The Caravan that I had been selected for had 6 land-dragons and was huge, I wasn't the only one guarding the caravan either. There was a bunch of Iron copper and iron ranked people, 4 bronze ranked people, and one other silver ranker. I was getting paid another 2 gold in silver, so 200 silver coins. Not a bad paycheck for getting a caravan from one place to another.
now, The Caravan didn't even arrive here until 20 days after I took the job. and they only packed up all the wares they needed to barter in the Mathers territory after 7 days. I ended up getting 60 coppers back from the inn I was staying at because the guy at the desk said he doesn't like overcharging. So that's a bonus. So, here I am, Preparing for my first mission and-
my thoughts were interrupted. "We're setting off!" I hear them shout. "Mercs to your stations!" I take some time to browse the shop as I simultaneously keep an eye and ear out for enemies. I bought [thought partition] so I can multitask at 100% efficiency for 300 and [thought acceleration] for another 300 so I can think at a ridiculous speed, along with [battlefield thought and reaction acceleration] for 400. all at rank F LVL 1.
Doing this increased my mind by 0.2 0.3 and 0.5 respectively bringing me up to 3.5 in mind.

After about 6 hours of sitting on the roof of the middle carriage meditating, I feel a fullness in my body. realizing I'm about to break through to the body tempering 2nd stage, I stop, because I'm not willing to stink up the carriage with the impurities my skill has informed me will spew out of me. I notice that all the animal sounds have stopped. Knowing from TV shows that this is a sign of danger. I approach the only other silver and tap him on the shoulder.
"Ambush ahead," I whisper. "I know," he responds "but I feel like we should let them spring the trap." I nod, "I'll go guard the Land dragons, they'll be the first targets of any arrows." He nods, "Good call."
quickly rushing ahead, I arrive just in time to redirect 3 arrows aiming for the heads of the land dragons in front. I use the momentum of the arrows to send them right back to where the archers are.

I use battlefield thought acceleration to stop myself from vomiting and quickly compartmentalize that these people are evil and they deserve what came to them for trying to kill us, who knew how many people they've ruined the lives of.
This only takes half a second, and I quickly Get off the carriage as it is forced to stop due to a log in front the size of a large oak tree, and about 12 bandits behind it. only one carrying a bow, who quickly tries to fire at me, and is killed via redirection instantly. The bandits charge at me, as I quickly use one sword style to Eliminate 5 of them, and the other silver kills 3 of them. Two unlucky iron and 3 unlucky copper rank mercenaries are killed by the one who seems to be their leader."I'll have your currency and goods! giv-" he is quickly stabbed in the face with a throwing dagger thrown by one of the bronze, as his brain is pierced, he dies quickly.
I use my enhanced strength to move the log, I use a save-point to mark this location and time. Then we are off again.
