DIVINE BEAST HUNTERS

"Oh? and how are you going to do that?" Lord Xavier suddenly asked while arching his left eyebrow with a smirk on his face.

"By firstly forming my beast hunter squad" Dave answered as he looked at Lord Xavier expressionlessly. but what Lord Xavier said next made Dave have a change of expression.

"I figured that you will do this immediately after you come out from that sphere. So that's why I arranged a group of students who will be willing to join your squad"

'Well, that was unexpected' Dave thought with a calm smile on his face.

"Do you wanna see them?" Lord Xavier asked with a calm smile also on his face.

"Why not?" Dave answered.

After hearing an answer from Dave, Lord Xavier immediately waved his right hand as what seemed like a light orb enveloped both him and Dave as they disappeared from the lab.

"I really can't stand those two anymore," Mr. Smith said as a helpless sigh escaped his mouth.

"Same goes with me" Steve replied as a helpless sigh also escaped his mouth.

"Where are we going to exactly?" Dave asked as he suddenly saw himself in a familiar courtyard along with Lord Xavier.

"To go and see what I have prepared for you of cause" Lord Xavier replied as he began to walk toward a two-story building closest to the duo along with Dave chasing after him.

After some seconds of silent walking towards a building, they began to hear the sounds of a fight close by.

'Wait... Why does that sound feel familiar to me?' Dave thought as he looked towards where the sound is coming from. But right when he could ask Lord Xavier if he could go check it out, he got interrupted by Lord Xavier himself.

"You can go and find out if you are curious"

"Thanks" Dave replied as he mysteriously vanished from where he stood.

"Oh? that's new" Lord Xavier said as he looked at where Dave previously was with a curious expression.

<SPACE DISTORTION>

In an open field right beside a two-story building, two people could be seen fighting each other. One of them was an eighteen years old boy that has dark hair with purple eyes. he wore a simple battle suit that has black and purple colors with faint runes on it. The other was a twenty years old tanned man that has blonde hair with golden eyes. He also wore a simple battle suit that was entirely golden along with faint runes on it. The former held a long sword that had runes on them while the latter held a broadsword that also has runes on it.

<STONE WALL>

"Is that the best you can do?" the tanned man said in a mocking tone while easily defending himself with a wall against a slash that was made with a starry sky color.

"Did you just mock me?" the dark-haired boy asked with a tinge of annoyance found on his face while still doing more slashes in the air.

"What if I did?" the tanned boy asked back while giggling at the back of the stone wall he previously did.

"Then prepared to get beaten" The dark-haired boy spoke as he stopped doing his slashes while slowly raising his sword.

<ENERGY MOVE: SPACE CRACK>

"Oh shit!" the tanned boy shouted as immediately activated a defensive spell that made him be covered with stones

<TOMB>

'He just had to use that' the tanned man thought while waiting for the impact of the dark-haired boy's spell. But after some time went away without no impact, the man then muttered to himself with a confused expression.

"Why haven't I experienced an impact yet?"

Although the man still waited inside his spell the mindset of the boy he was sparring with wanted to trick him, he later deactivated his spell to see why there wasn't any impact from the dark-haired boy's spell.

'Huh? who is that?' the man thought with a confused expression while staring at the boy who he was sparring hugging someone so tightly while sobbing.

But not long after, his expression changed to disbelief with tears building up in his eyes as soon as he heard the voice of the person the dark-haired boy was hugging so tightly.

"It's been a long time Muzi"

'Is that... Dave?' Muzi thought as he slowly walked towards where his sparring partner and the familiar person were. But immediately he saw the face of the familiar person staring at him with a friendly smile, he dashed towards the person as he also hugged him tightly while also sobbing.

While Muzi was hugging Dave so tightly, he began to remember when they both met till when they were on the fourth floor in the testing pagoda facing a mysterious shadow. He also remembered what Mr. Lucas said when he became conscious after the pagoda incident.

"If you ever see Dave again, thank him because he was the one who saved you in the pagoda"

And so Muzi held on to what Mr. Lucas said throughout the six years in the hope of seeing Dave again to thank him. But now that Dave was right in his arms, he spoke wholeheartedly while sobbing.

"Thank you"
