Year:X778 January , 15
Takeshi Haruka POV:
Location:Shinohara household-
It was morning and today is the day I leave the place where most people would call home.So before I leave I'll clean up the guest room, that I have been using
"Breakfast is ready!"
I can hear Mrs.Shinohara call out.
I walked out the guest bedroom, I walked down the hallway for one last time.
I made my way to the kitchen table one last time.
"Here a freshly made pancakes just like you like!"
Mrs.Shinohara happily says.
Pancakes are my favorite breakfast foods to eat.
"Thank you Mrs.Shinohara, your the best!"
I happily thanked Mrs.Shinohara.
Man I'm going to miss her homemade cooking.
15 minutes later-
"Thank you Mrs.Shinohara and Mr.Shinohara for allowing me to stay."
I bowed my head down as I thanked them.
"Any time lad!"
Mr.Shinohara said.
"Your more then welcome to join us , this place will be your second home."
Mrs.Shinohara said, allowing me to come a visit their home.
"Make sure to visit us every year and come over the holidays."
Yuichi said with a warm smile.
"Take real good care of yourself."
Yoshito said.
"Take care of yourselfs Shinohara family."
I said as I waved at them, while walking away.
Location:Cemetery-
I'm at the cemetery to pay my respects to all the people I know in my life.
•clap
I clap, while bowing my head.
"Off I go."
Now before I go, I took a kneeling stance,the hover my right hand on the ground and placed a sealing spell Leaping.
(Leaping-Type of magic -Spatial Translocation(teleporting).Hand Touch: The caster must firmly press the palm of their dominant hand onto a stable surface. Range- 10 kilometers)
Location:Somewhere near theTradehavenvillage-
I teleported near Tradehaven village, I didn't teleport directly on it so, I teleported near the goblin nest that I took out not long ago.
I also placed a Leaping seal here to mark a destination , so when I'm 10+ kilometers away from here I could teleport back.
Anyway I proceed towards the front entrance of the Village , I was then stopped by the entrance by two guard.
"Stop right there!"(guard 1)
"What's your purpose!(guard 2)
"I'm here for mercenary work."
I stated my intention.
"Hmmm very well you may pass."
They both allowed me to pass.
I entered the village, I immediately remembered the layout of the village.
Anyway onto the village guild, which is named Gareth Ironstride.
They're a guild that mostly consists of Swordsmen and Archer's.
I headed inside the guild building and opened the front door entrance.

..
??
!!
Well this is awkward a lot of people are starring at me. I know that I'm not a member so that explains it.
I continued on my towards the guilds front desk.There was this man in some type of formal at the front desk.
"I'm looking for work, specifically monster hunting."
I said to the man in formal clothing, who I'm assuming is the guilds manager or someone in management.
"Hmm.. We usually don't just take people out for work that aren't in the guild, however we are on sort staff, because of the MagicCouncil ordering us to look into a highlyclassifiedinvestigation."
The guild manager said. He then takes out types of documents.
"Here are some monsters that are going to need exterminate."
There was 5 types of monsters exterminate contracts.
1.)Goblins nest discovered SouthWest from here about 3 kilometers near a small mountain terrain.Rank(C).(Jewels- 6,000)
2.)Reports about Lord Goblins assemble together, rumors not confirmed, some where East from here about 2 Kilometers away.Rank(B)(Jewels-48,000)
3.)A Goblin Troll has been rumored to be spotted near a mountain about 7 kilometers NorthWest from here.Rank(B+ or A)(Jewels- 54,000-64,000)
4.) A small group of Oxnoid have been spotted somewhere West from here about 6 kilometers away.Rank(A).(Jewels- 72,000)
5.) A singular Oxnoid has been spotted, it's about 10-11 feet tall, in a forest nearby about 5 kilometers Northwest from here.Rank(A+)(Jewels-84,000)
(Authornote:there will be small amounts of gore/blood.)
" I'll take all of them."
I stretch out my hand out for the jobs,but was stopped before I could reach them.
"whoa! whoa! whoa! Before that you will need to sign this contract and are you sure about this kid.
The contract States-
[You are signing this, with the intention of paying a 60/40 Jewels split fee to the guild since your not a full registered member.]
[Your handwritten signature goes here.]
[Your full name and address here]
•scribble.
"Very well."
Said the manger.
Now then which one should I go to.
Since job requests (2.) and (3.) are some what close to each other I'll head over to them quickly.
Since (2.) is more closer than (1.) I'll head towards job request (2.), but before that, I made my way over to the trading store.
I was at the front entrance of the trading shop, I looked at the sign that says.
TanakaTrades-
I'm assuming the shop is named after the owner or some relative.
I made my way inside.
•click
"Welcome…hmm haven't I seen you before?"
The shop owner said.
I ignored his question by then asking my two questions.
"Do you have a Compass, and do also have a monster catalog?"
The shop owner immediately, pulls out two different compass, then pulls out a document.
"Here's the monster catalog,it's free of charge."
The shop owner says.
"Here on my left side, I got two different compasses , this one right here is a typical old compass model."
"This one on right side is a Lacrima based compass they give you a 100% compass reading."
The shop owner said advertising his two different types of compasses.
"Give me the typical compass."
I said not really bothered by the difference types, I guess having something old fashioned would help me understand things better in a different perspective.
"Very well young sir, that will be 200 jewels."
I pulled out 200 jewels out from shadow storage.Now leaving me with 13,650 jewels.
I handed over the 200 jewels, the shop owner then handed me the compass.
"Thank you young sir, come back again."
The shop owner says.
"I will."
I replied, full well knowing I was coming right back.
Now then, let's see how good the compass is.
I grabbed the Compass and then read where the Needle Compass points.
The needle is pointing towards the North, so that means the end of the needle is south.
I looked up to the sky looking for the sun, it's still morning meaning the sun has risen not long ago, I looked at the general area where the sun risen.
So that way is east, I looked at the opposite direction, so that way is west.
Now then since (2.) is 2 kilometers East from here, I should go more into the general direction from where the sun rises.
Location:East of Tradeheaven Village-
I was about 2.2 kilometers East of Tradeheaven.
My eyes gazed around my environment, there was Trees and a typical small forest.
•sniff
"Ewh."
There was a disgusting smell in the air and I didn't want to be here any longer than I have to.
I placed my hand on the ground a sense the Life/Spirit force around me. I was able to sense 18 different signals.
I could feel 10 of them being the same In terms of Mana force.
I could feel two more different Mana forces.
One of them higher than the other.
Welp no matter, they will still be eliminated.
I guess making some kind of ruckus will drag them out of their hide holes.
I went over and place down 6 SealingDestruction, seals near me, I'll use this as traps so when they get close, the seals will go off causing an explosion.
(Sealing Destruction:The ability to destroy seals. Sub-power of Seal Manipulation and Sealing.)
Now to draw them out, I'll just simply walk into their territory and.
"Ohh no I'm lost don't know where I'm going."
"If only someone was out there to help me."
I cried out hoping it will , bring some out
5 minutes later-
10 goblins came out to investigate the strange noises.
6/10 goblins were normall, however 2/10 of the goblins had staff, so those 4/10 are magegoblins.
There mana/spirit force is higher than the normal goblins, it's to be expected.
However this still wasn't the two forces I sense.
So a goblinlords and goblinking.
I cast two different spells.
1.)I used WaterSpikeProjection, on 5 different goblins killing them instantly.
2.)I used LightingCutting, on 5 different goblins killing them almost instantly.
(WaterSpikeProjection: Project water spikes.)
(LightingCutting: Use electricity to cut opponents.)
With those goblins killed the others will come and investigate.
10minuteslater-
7-Lord goblins emerge and one Kinggoblin appears.
Well then, time to eliminate them all.
I walked over to the fallen goblins, I picked up a sword about 38 centimeters long.
I casted WaterInfusion, around the sword. This well allow speed and durability to the sword.
(WaterInfusion: Empower and energize anything touched or used (usually a weapon) with water.)
Goblin lord (1.) charges straight at me with speed and power, while goblin lord (2. And 3.) charges at me towards my sides.
Goblin lord(1.) was meet with a strike towards his throat, the strike kills them, while I remove the sword a Goblin lord(2.and 3.) both attack me.
I jumped up into the air and dodge there strikes, while in the air I slowly landed on a tree branch.
I immediately rushed (2.and 3.) goblin lords they were to slow to react in time as my attacks connected cutting open there belly's.
•splash
•plink
Blood and guts poured out their stomachs.
That makes 3 dead.
Goblin lords (4.,5.,6.,7.) all charged at me, that's my queue to walk towards my traps.
I run back to my sealing traps, the goblin lords are in a good position for them to all be killed.
•Boom
•Bam
•Boom
Many small explosions where cause to harm them.
The smoke cleared leaving only one survivor.
The last goblin lord tried to flee, but before he could, I sliced its head clean off.
All 7/7 goblin lords dead, now for the goblin king.
Hmm I looked over towards the goblin king and it runs away.
Well that was unexpected, doesn't matter since it's still to slow.
•swift
I threw the sword that I had Infused in water right in the middle of its lower back.
•screech
•drop
The goblin king try's to crawl away however, I casted WaterCutting, and sliced the goblin king head. I then picked up the same sword that was speared through the goblin king back, I then craved out the goblin king heart.
(WaterCutting: Use water to slice enemies.)
I can't believe this thing is worth so much, 16,000 jewels for a king goblin heart.
Apparently this is how (Rank B+) recovery potions.
5 minutes later-
I grabbed all the goblin body parts, I shoved everything into my ShadowStorage.
(Shadowstorage:The power to seal items into your shadow.)
I should probably get some storage seals and keep them, for case like these.
Anyway onto the southwest side,I'll move directly towards west about 4 kilometers first then start heading south.
