Arachnophobia

I leave the school gates with Kagiyama at my side. We walk across the street where Scott and the girls are waiting.

"What were you two doing?" Hino asks suspiciously.

"We were talking and lost track of time." Kagiyama says to her. She nods, not believing him and turns to me. I shrug and she sighs. "Anyway you three should get going, good luck." He says before turning around and walking down the street. We get in the car and buckle up.

"So what did you really do?" Hino asks.

"We just talked about some guild politics I wasn't aware of."

"Ugh, I hate those. I don't understand why we need to have that." Myla says causing Scott to chuckle. Hino looks at me suspiciously for a moment before sighing.

"Fine, keep your secrets." She says waving her arms. It's now I see her new gauntlets and boots on her.

"I thought those were to big for you." I say pointing at them. I clearly remember them being a good inch or two too big to fit her.

"They're magic, they can grow or shrink a couple inches from their original size to fit the wearer." Hino answers and I get an idea.

"Do you mind if I use Observe on them?" She looks a me a bit confused before responding.

"I thought you already did, but sure. Feel free to." I nod and Observe her gauntlets and boots, having to cast it twice to get both of them.

Draken Gauntlets Lvl 50, Mythical

These Gauntlets have been crafted by the Dwargon, the master smithing guild. The materials used came straight from a Kraken and Water Dragon, both are very powerful beasts. The powers of each have been infused to the Gauntlets. They can only be worn by the one who defeated the beasts or those they've chosen. Current wielder: Hino. Deals 1000 melee damage. Requirements: must be level 40 or higher, if not the damage will be 200. Hidden Properties: Allows you to control and manipulate water without using mana. The water can NOT be created with magic and has to be naturally formed from nature. Set: Kragon (1/2)

Draken Boots Lvl 50, Mythical

These Boots have been crafted by the Dwargon, the master smithing guild. The materials used came straight from a Kraken and Water Dragon, both very powerful beasts. The powers of each have been infused to the Boots. They can only be worn by the one who defeated the beasts or those they've chosen. Current wielder: Hino. deals 1000 melee damage. Requirements: must be level 40 or higher, if not the damage will be 200. Hidden Properties: allows you to control and manipulate water without using mana. The water can NOT be created with magic and has to be naturally formed from nature. Set: Kragon (2/2)

I get another pop up that I've never seen before.

Kragon Set Bonus: while the Gauntlets and Boots are equipped, you'll get a small portion of the two beasts powers (+5 to all stats).

"So, what did you find out?" Hino asks, trying and failing miserably to hide her excitement.

"Good things and bad things. First you can't use they're full power currently. You need to be level 40." I say while using Observe on Hino, and Myla while I'm at it.

Hino Lotus Lvl 20, Class: Marital Artist, Title: Successor To The Blue Lotus Guild, RP: 219, Hearts: 4

HP: 350/350 MP: 175/175

Myla Garden Lvl 21, Class: Paladin, Title: Heiress To The Silver Garden Guild, RP: 201, Hearts: 4

HP: 400/400 MP: 150/150

"And your currently level 20. So the Gauntlets and Boots will only deal a quarter of the damage they normally would. However, they have to abilities to control and manipulate water without using mana. However it has to be natural water, it can't be made by mana. Also only you can wield them." I finish saying and she looks down at them. She stares for a moment before clenching her fists and looking up with a smile.

"It sucks about the level thing, but oh well. I'll just get stronger. But I'm not sure how to feel about the water manipulation. It's not like I fight in or near water all the time." She says thinking out loud.

"You could carry a pouch of it. Maybe strap it to your belt and make it look like it's just something you drink from. That way you could surprise your opponent with it." I tell her and she looks to me shocked.

"How do you come up with these ideas so fast?" Myla asks me and I just shrug. Scott stops the jeep and starts talking.

"Here we are. Oh and Eric, this is for you." He hands me a small glass crystal. "It's a alarming crystal. If your pour a bit of mana into it it'll send us a signal. Use it if your in danger or feel like you need help. It also sends us your location so feel free to use it even when your on your own." I nod and thank him before storing it away. We get out and Scott wishes us luck before driving away. I turn around and see we're standing at the bottom of a small mountain. It's a fairly popular tourist spot and lots of people come here to do some hiking.

"Well, are you two ready?" Myla asks holding out a scroll. Hino nods and I equip my weapon before remembering something.

"Hang on Myla, that scroll has Enter Dungeon on it right?" She nods, a bit confused before I continue. "I've learned that spell, so I can cast it if you'd rather save the scroll."

"Sure, oh but don't tell Liz. She'll complain about you stealing her job." She replies and I chuckle. She puts her scroll away and I cast Enter Dungeon.
