14 Elite Team (1/2)
Next morning Rahz was back to normal.He was a little sad that he barely got 3 copper from all the beast he killed.His dad decided to take the whole body of the bear to create a nice leather armor for him.For somebody like Rahz's dad that was an intermediate blacksmith, it was really easy to buy higher level leather for his son but he found it important for his son to wear the skin of such a strong foe and be proud of his achievement.
Rahz picked up Mr. Choppy and left his house toward the training grounds.He had been laying down for a few days and he was eager to get back to hunting.Rahz was hooked, he had a new goal and it was to be the first in his class to achieve the first evolution.
With renewed motivation, Rahz made it to the training ground and quickly joined Bhirl and Blaire on the field.
When Rahz arrived on the training grounds everyone turned to look at him.Since nobody had seen him recently there was no indication if he had pass or fail.But their doubts were quickly dispersed when they felt the level of his energy that was a little higher than theirs.After he slain the Bear he was already halfway to LVL 6.
The Fact that he was also joining Blaire and Bhirl on their team filled them with jealousy.If looks could kill, Rahz would have died over and over again.Rahz loved every minute of it.He was usually the center of attention but never the source of envy.
With a grin on his face Rahz walked up to Bhirl and said ” I have a great name for the team, How about the Killer Squad”.
” Hmm... No”.
” BBR Will Kill You?”.
”HELL NO!”
Even though Rahz's names didn't hit home with the team, it was a fact that the team need it a name.As the team leader, it felt on Bhirl to make the final decision.With a little embarrassment showing on his face Bhirl said to both of them, ” We would be the Elite team”.
Immediately, Blaire looked at Rahz sneered and said,”How can we be the Elite team if Rahz is in it”.
HA HA HA!
Everyone around it let out a hearty laugh.When Rahz was prepare to retort with a challenge to Blaire, the Elders came in and they all took their positions.
This was the moment the ten new trainees were waiting for as they finally would get to pick up tasks and train with the main group of fighters from the village.
The elders looked at the new batch of recruits and felt proud.It was without a doubt one the best groups they had trained in a while. It meant that if the children were allowed to grow, the village will continue to prosper under a new leadership.
The elder recorded the team members and explained their duties.The teams of the village were required to contributed to the village by doing tasks in addition, they needed to patrol as a team at least once a month.
If they were not responsible for any task, they had to train in the morning as they had done previously but at a greater pace.This regimen was done to ensure that Helgahvall's fighters were always progressing towards higher levels.There were a lot more dangers than the beast that roam the forest around the village.
Having capable fighters was in a sense a way of life.The economy of the village revolved around hunting.The meat of the beast were distribute or trade it for other wears and the majority of the pelts were taken to the nearest town in order to sell them.Other task were scavenger ones to look for rare herbs and even look for ore in the west side of the village.
Helgahvall's task system was actually fairly new.It was implemented by the higher ups of the village after listening to Rahz's parents when they move to the village.It was modeled after the adventurer organization they used to belong to when they were at Silverwing city.The system made use of all the available hands present in the village.
Since Rahz parents arrived to the village, Helgahvall had experience a rapid growth.They had extremely good weapons for their warriors and the task system ensure that their warriors had constant training.By trading with the nearest town they also had access to many new products that were not available before.
