53 War Preparation Pt 1 (1/2)

”Alice! ” Jannat called out seeing Alice come out of the Estate's gates.

”Oh hey Jannat what's up? ” Alice asked wondering what she wanted.

”Nothing much I just got my duty details for the war, have you registered yet? ” Jannat asked wanting to see if they got put in the same unit.

”I was actually on my way to register to take part in the war right now. ” Alice replied.

”Awesome follow me and I will take you to get it done! Maybe we will be put in the same unit. ” Jannat said taking her hand and leading her through the crowded streets to the Adventure's Guild.

”Okay go talk to the bald guy sitting behind the booth over there. ” Jannat said pointing across the crowded room where a small sign could be seen that showed 'Recruitment' could barely be seen over the top of peoples heads.

Giving a nod Alice moved in between people as best she could not getting very far, annoyed by this she sank into the man's shadow next to her and came back out beside the man in charge of recruiting for the war.

”Good god woman. Wait in line like... ” He started but decided to just take care of her first.

”I am here to join the war and help any way that I can. ” Alice said happy she got to skip over the line she had not noticed before.

”If you are a warrior.. No you must be a mage. I will need to know what Element you use as well your most powerful attack. ” The bald man said thinking it was silly he almost treated her like the average adventure since there was no way she could be useful with a weapon.

”I am good at both close range and long range combat. I use Fire, Wind and Shadow for my Element's. My main weapon is a Scythe that can be infused with one of the three elements that I control. ” Alice replied with a smile rather proud of her abilities.

”There is no need to lie miss. ” The man said with a look of doubt.

”Is there a place you can test me? ” Alice asked curiously.

”Hey Francis, this little one says she has three elements on top of being skilled with a scythe. Take her out back and have a spar with her. Place her wherever you would like if she does well. ” He said waving her off.

”Come with me miss. ” Francis said with a smile.

Following behind the man she wasn't to surprised to see people naturally moved out of his way. He had to be one of the largest men she had ever seen. Not to mention his large battle Ax's strapped to each side.

”This should be a good spot, come at me whenever you would like. ” Francis said pulling one ax out and doing a small stretch.

”Sounds good to me. ” Alice said pulling her scythe out of her inventory and taking advantage of her boosted mana pool to infuse her weapon with the Fire Element.

Seeing her weapon glowing red with flames Francis got into a defensive position knowing that if he didn't block her attack it would leave a nasty wound.

”Ready? ” Alice asked with a smirk seeing him already in a defensive position.

”Bring it on little girl, keep in mind we are just sparing before the war starts though. ” Francis said with a serious expression wishing Corey would have just let her into a random unit.

Hearing him give the okay Alice started running to the right and used her 'Rift Warp' to appear to his left giving her scythe a heavy swing aimed at his chest.

Almost unable to follow her sudden position change he barely was fast enough to move his Ax to parry her attack. Following up with a punch aimed at her stomach hoping to land the blow and call the match he was surprised to see she had already warped away again.
