43 Rivalry. (2/2)

Ozul noticed their annoyance and shook his head.

'They should control their anger...'- Ozul thought before he shook his head.

Ozul understood that their reason for anger was because he was involved in the incident. Otherwise, they were pretty cool-headed.

Well, cool-headed for the most part.

Raven only showed cold expression whenever she was angered. Blaze, on the other hand, had shown his wild side while slaughtering his enemies!

There would be a wide smile on his face whenever he faced his foes. His sharp canines would only add to the wild yet the attractive appearance of his.

Basically, Blaze was someone that people called a Battle Maniac.

Ozul did not care about this nature of his as it meant that Blaze would not back down from a fight.

They did not care about the dead bodies of the Beasts and just took their Mana Cores. Only these Cores were somewhat expensive enough for their efforts.

-On the other side of the Forest-

The group had already left the forest, and they were slumped on the ground panting while their eyes would dart towards the woods occasionally.

One of the men spoke up when he noticed that no one came out of the woods even after a long time;

”B-boss Larry, D-do you think those p-people are dead?”-

The question was asked to the blonde man that led the group.

”Do you think that they could have survived three Rank-5 Beasts?... It was our only way...”-The blonde man now named Larry replied while his head was bowed in shame.

The only woman in the group came to comfort Larry as she said;

”It's not your fault... W-we did it because it was our only chance to survive.”- Even her voice was trembling from the earlier fear of death that chased them.

”I...know...”- Larry said with his now dry throat.

-Back to Ozul's group-

It took them about an hour to leave the woods and again walk the streets of the City. As always, the usually loud areas were quietened down a notch because of the night. Another reason why Ozul loved the nights so much.

Blaze went to submit all the missions that they had completed during this time while Ozul and Raven went towards their home.

Ozul was tired. It was not because he had run out of stamina or something, but due to how he had to practice all day.

He was dead tired after all the training with his Ball of Purity. He was improving with each step.

But arriving in the garden made him let go of all the fatigue as he went to sit on his favourite spot in this new garden.

Blaze came later at night while Raven was training on the other side of the garden as not to disturb Ozul. She did not like the fact that Blaze could catch up to her with only a little bit of training.

She could only train harder not to be left behind by him. However, Blaze also joined in on her training.

Hence began the heated training between them to surpass the other!

Even when the Sun rose the next morning, Raven and Blaze were still competing to see who will last longer. Circulating the Mana in your body was a tedious thing, and continuing for the whole night would exhaust any Mage under Rank-6.

Only the next morning did Ozul find out about their 'rivalry' in training harder.
