Recap: Kuramoto discovered that there are parties and clans here to be formed and recruits 3 extra ordinary players with special skills.
"Hey Yin, display your Ex-Skill and your traits, I will place you in specific parts in our formation after judging, You two too, show me your skills." He said, as he took them to a plain area of grass outside the town area filled with townspeople.
"On it, Energy Lancer!" Yin's spear turned light pink as it glowed on the sharp edge of the spear.
"Sir, This is my power, it increases my sharpness to the max and I am almost invincible for 5 minutes at Max, currently I have not yet unlocked the full potential of it, I can manage up to 3 minutes."
"Boring, Next." Yin left the ground as he heard that Kuramoto had judged him as boring while his posture seems almost like a turtle with utter sadness.
"I am next!" Yuna argues as Usagi disagrees upon her opinion and wants to enter the stage first.
"What? No! I am first! I was first in line!" Says Usagi.
After a while of arguing, Kuramoto comes to them after listening to everything.
"Look here you little shit, I am pretty busy, please make it fast." He says as he walks towards them slowly in a menacing aura surrounding him.
Both of them ask Kuramoto to decide who comes first with Kuramoto deciding that Usagi comes first.
"Hmph!" Pouts Yuna as she looks away.
"Heh." Usagi smirks at Yuna about it.
"Enough, Enough. Display your ability now."
"Yes Yes. I am an assassin as you might already know, These are my knives, forged from the flesh of the floor 3 dragon boss. I have 2 abilities, both based for close range and long range respectively."
"Stop babbling, get to the point." Argues Kuramoto
"Stop being so self centred argh! Fine, My first ability is stealth and the second is the same as the energy spearman from before, I can boost my stats for a certain period of time."
"Show case Stealth." Asks Kuramoto.
She goes into a certain stance enabling her to become invisible, She disappears with a trace with no utmost presence about her existence.
After Kuramoto waiting for a while, She appears behind him with her knife pointed at Kuramoto's neck.
Kuramoto quickly checks out his pocket with a toothpick that he had in his pocket and teleports behind Usagi as she disarms herself and drops her weapon on the ground.
"Transmission..?"
"Oh? Seems like you are not so dumb after all.." Kuramoto recalls in his mind as he learnt transmission when he was still a god in the upper realms as he was training to be an assassin.
Yuna looks at them from afar while crouching down on the grass.
Picking up grass playfully but not so innocent after all as she transforms the grass she had into a sharp piece of equipment turning golden yellow unleashed at a fast pace as it hits Kuramoto's hands disarming him.
"Oh-" flinches Kuramoto.
Kuramoto leaves Usagi alone and stands away from her and he didn't need to check out Yuna's strength as he never had to because he knows all skills that mage does even if he is not a mage.
"Now that you all are done showcasing, let's move on to our destination right away, Does anyone have any information about the stormwind dungeon of the mythical grade alchemist?" Asks Kuramoto.
Everyone keeps silent as they look at each other dumbfounded about it.
"Seems like none of you do huh..?" Sighs Kuramoto, "All of you, let us meet in this specific area with all our belongings, we are going to beat a dungeon tomorrow!"
Everyone nodded except Yuna.
"Leader, This is our first dungeon, and it is already a 'never heard of dungeon' are we going to be okay?"
"Do not worry as I, solo beater am here." As he flaunts about himself to others.
The next day arrives..
"Have you all prepared for it? I have read many relics and remains yesterday, it seems like it has not been discovered yet, but it is mentioned that it is situated in the north direction." Speaks Kuramoto, as he sheathes his sword and inspects his equipment.
"We are ready!" Everyone looked energized because it was their first expedition.
"Since we are a party now, let us take care of each other." Suggests Kuramoto and Yin agrees with the others nodding as well.
"Let's go!" He points at the west direction instead of the north.
"Uhh, Sir? That is the west direction not the North direction."
"Oh- uhh.. I just wanted to test how smart you were at noticing my flaws! It was a trial in my world to rest if their companions are worthy!"
Everyone seemed to be put in deep thought as they trusted Kuramoto.
Kuramoto lets out a deep sigh of relief, "Thank God they didn't suspect anything.." breathing heavily.
They moved on the north direction, approximately after 2 days of walking,
"Leader...! Let us take a break here! I cannot walk anymore!"
"There have been no fights but we have been constantly walking a lot since the past 2 days!" Everyone pleaded.
Kuramoto, who had been holding his fatigue back to look good infront of his teammates obviously agreed.
"Come to think of it, There have been no fights recently, It is almost like all monsters are exterminated." Everyone questioned as they started chatting in between themselves.
Kuramoto recalled the moment as they were deep asleep, he equipped Excalibur and finished off all possible threats in the nearby area.
"Oh- yeah, That is pretty strange, I wonder why that is happening..?" He laughs suspiciously.
The others notice but do not make a big deal out of it, except Usagi as she doubts Kuramoto because when she woke up on the first night, Kuramoto wasn't there on guard and neither on his sleeping bag.
"Let's keep on moving, shall we...?" Said Kuramoto after resting for almost 2 hours.
