Discovering About Skills

"What!?" Leon screamed with surprise. He thought he didn't have to do anything. He can now just save himself and everything will be done.

But now he was told they may lose with the only hope they got just right.

"Arghhh." A bandit came rushing at Leon, bringing him back from his thoughts.

Leon was about to fight the bandit, but

Boom.

The bandit in front of Leon got blasted by a water ball coming from the left. Leon looked to his left and saw the mage guy grinding through all the bandits nearby with the rest of his team guarding him up close.

They all came to Leon after fighting the bandits.

Leon was about to say something but got ignored. The mage guy came to Boa. "Boa, are you okay? You seem to have cleaned up a lot here."

"I am fine. Also, I didn't clean up anything. It was him who did it all," Boa pointed her finger at Leon."By the way, Lucas. Why are you all late? I signaled you all so early."

Lucas didn't pay attention to her last words. He looked at Leon and questioned her."Are you saying this little brat did all this by himself?"

"Of course, or are you saying I lied to you?" Boa said with a little anger on her face.

"No, it is ju- ," Lucas was about to say something but got cut off.

"Hey, you guys. Can you chat later? We have a situation right now." One of the two swordsmen yelled while fighting against a bandit.

Lucas looked around and saw his other teammates struggling hard. He brew water in front of his hands and said with a stern face."Okay, Boa we will talk later. Let's solve this first."

He then looked at Leon." And you kid, you can also try to do something if you can."

Leon nodded his head. He said to Enayet. "Enayet, stay close to me all time. Do not leave far behind."

"Okay, brother," Enayet said while crossing his arms in front of his chest.

Boa suddenly said."You guys stay with me. We can save each other."

Leon agreed with her. Leon looked around and saw that others were doing well but there seem to struggle to grow in them. He focused his mind on the surroundings as far as he could and found there are nearly fifty bandits only in his almost twenty-meter range. There is also more of the mouth side of it.

But suddenly he saw their struggle stop the moment Lucas and Boa entered. Lucas was shooting his water ball when their melee are in trouble and Boa was shooting wind arrows at the ones that are far.

Leon feeling the atmosphere a little asked Boa."I am a question. What are the things you and that guy Lucas shooting? Is it magic?"

Boa stopped a little then resumed her shooting. She said."You can it is magic but also not. It is a skill we have awakened."

"Skill?" Leon was more confused.

Boa explained calmly."It is called Outer Soul Shine. It is awakened after one becomes fifteen years old. But not many can awaken it. It takes luck and talent."

"Oh, so what is yours?" Leon asked further about it.

Boa didn't hide it."Mine is Wind Arrow.....

[ Outer Soul Shine - Wind Arrow :

Can make or conjure wind elemental arrows only with a bow. The power of a wind arrow is determined by how strong a person is ]"

"Then Lucas also has one?" Leon was fascinated. He wanted to know more about it.

Boa also didn't hide about this. "Lucas's one is Water Ball....

[ Outer Soul Shine - Water Ball :

Can create or conjure a water ball only through your hand palms. The conjured water ball can be shot at a high speed by the user. The density and the volume of water balls are determined by the user's strength ] "

"Wow, that's some detailed skill and some restrictions I can see." Leon sliced a bandit's arm then thrusted his sword at his belly.

"Yes, it varies from person to person." Boa shot an arrow at a bandit that was about to shoot Lucas.

"Then your leader does have one?" Leon asked after he kicked out the bandit that has his sword in his belly.

"No," Boa said calmly.

"If he doesn't have one, will he be able to defeat that big fat bastard?" Leon panicked after hearing this.

"Listen, kid. having Outer Soul Shine doesn't make you a powerful one. Our leader may be old and don't have his skill awakened, he is a strong man by heart." Boa said, giving Leon a glare.

Leon nodded his head at that glare. 'She sure became mad mentioning her leader. Did something happen to him?'

Boa said while shooting another arrow."You may be curious why I became mad at you. It's just that our leader had earned respect. When he was a kid, he was full of high hopes for adventure and going out to many places. But for not awakening his skill he was neglected. Additionally, he was also a peasant so he had no support, he got this far only by himself and a heart filled with kindness."

"Despite seeing his mother get killed, his father got abused by society, being ridiculed by all, he came this far by himself. We were all from the same slum. Brother Alpin guarded us and accepted us. He never got strayed from his adventurous heart. So don't ever show disdain to our leader for not being strong."

Leon and Enayet became amazed. Leon thought in awe. 'He is cool, to be honest.'

Enayet didn't hide his thought, he said out loud."Leader Alpin is Awesome!"

Boa also showed a little proud face."Yes, he i- "

"Arghhhh.."

Boa didn't finish her sentence, a high piercing scream from Alpin's direction.

Everyone looked in that direction to see.

Leon was petrified after seeing what happened. Alongside him, the rest on his side also had the same reaction.

Leon saw Alpin was stabbed in the back by the village guardian, Hik himself.

"YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!!" Lucas roared out loud with agony.
