Lesson 4: Testing Ones Boundarys

After waking up I immediately decided to try my new skills. I didn't know how, but once again a look into the menu helped. There was a Contact-List for all Gods and Beasts contracted. Beasts? Doesn't matter for now.

[Do you want to contact Gilgamesh? Yes/No]

Vidar:"Yes."

[Connection is being established, please stand by. Connection finished. Gilgamesh is now connected.]

G:" Hey boy! How are you?"

V:" I'm fine. Thank you for bringing me back."

G:" I cannot let my contractor die on his first day can I?"

V:" You could've. But more important, can I test your powers in a battle today?"

G:" HAHA! Sure enough! Energy is most important after all!"

V:" I'm going to accept a C-Rank quest then."

G:" Are you trying to insult me, boy? Take an A one."

V:" I am trying to go safe here!"

G:" That's why it isn't an S-Rank. Just call out my name with the key in your hand. Then ram it in front of you."

V:" Okay."

I closed the connection window and went back to the guild. I take an A-Rank quest, give it to the receptionist. It is the same as last time.

R:" Are you sure you want to take this?"

V:" Yes, is there anything wrong?"

R:" You need to confirm your Rank before taking a quest on this level. Please put your hand on the Ball again."

I do as told to and the words start appearing again.

R:" How?!!!! Well, I guess there is nothing wrong with you going there. No mattter how you levelled this fast, the information would be quite valuable you know?"

V:" I cannot give it to you, I don't know either. Can I go now?"

R:" S-Sure."

I go to the quest I chose - killing a wyvern. I search for its nest in the forest, while Dall guides me towards helpful information. Around one hour later, I found the nest on a cliff. Without a wyvern, though. I decided to stay close and watch it until it comes back.

The wyvern comes, with a few strong movements. The landing is silent and it turns his head towards me. It could hear me breathing?

Dall:' No. It senses your mana'

V:"I guess we have to engage fast, if we don't want it to run?"

Dall:'Probably.'

I pull the key out, stretch my arm out and turn it. The gate opens and power flows through me. Suddenly Dall isn't the only voice in my head.

G:" Yo, little one. How is it going?"

V:" Fine, do you see that wyvern?"

G:" Is that the enemy we have?"

V:" Yes."

G:" I could simply do the job, but I will teach you. Stretch out your arm forward, with an open palm. Then think about the wyvern getting hit by swords."

I stretch my arm out and imagine twelve swords appearing and hitting the wyvern, but instead the wyvern simply screams and falls aside.

G:" Well, you did do the piercing part right. But why didn't any swords appear?

V:" No idea, I did just as you said."

D:" I did that. I wanted to try augmenting your spells. Seems like it worked quite well."

V:" Wait, you can augment a Gods spells?"

G:" No. Not my spells. Yours."

D:" Exactly. We are contracted, so I'm able to enhance your strength and spells."

G:" With this combination alone you will be able to clear SS-Rank spells easily. But to be honest, I wouldn't stop there. Train this to perfection, then get the next God to contract, if needed we force him to."

D:" No. First we clear that boys desires, then we train. But you should never reach invincibility."

G:" Could you be..."

D:" Yes. Don't tell him."

G:" Christ boy. You got quite the people backing you off, huh?"

We stored the wyvern in Gilgameshs Babylon storage and went to the guild to collect our reward. After laying the wyvern on the counter the receptionist gazed at it for around ten seconds.

R:" Um... This.. this is not a wyvern. It's a dragon. You see the legs? There's four of them. That makes your quest a S-Rank one."
