Ren sighed as he heard both Sasha's and Rainer's comments on the whole money thing and suddenly Lucian's keys would appear in Ren's hand as she pulled them from her Inventory most likely. She tossed them to Lucian, regardless of whether or not he was ready to catch them. "I don't really want any money. I just want everyone's time. I help train you all here, you help me train on the tougher enemies and investigate more about our current situation since I don't know everything about it. Everyone gets something out of it. If you feel like paying me, then feel free to do so. Time is more valuable to me than money". Ren decided that they didn't need to go into a fight all tensed up and not liking each other, so he figured putting off that rude pretense would help them work together better. After all, right now they were a Party, and parties that don't work together only get killed. After that Ren raised his hand up into the air. [i]"ID Escape!"[/i] The moment Ren said this the sky above them began to crack and shatter like at the mall before, only it was much more instant this time as soon enough the surroundings were back to normal. Since they were out at the sport's field there were some people running laps around the track as well as some soccer players on the soccer field in the distance. It really was a normal highschool. That was until Ren, who kept his hand raised, said one more phrase. [i]"ID Create: Imp ID"[/i] Once again a Psuedospace appeared, the surroundings of the area like the people and lights disappearing, yet it still being light out since it was day time. On the track a good ways away from them appeared a group of Imps, bigger than the group the party, minus Ren, saw last time. Suddenly in Ren's hand appeared a knife that he pulled out of thin air, not having to call out the inventory command to do this. It appeared to be a survival knife of sorts, very sharp looking and also very real. "Time for some grinding". After saying this, as if used to this scenario, Ren ran towards the group of Imps, quite quick on his feet, as he stopped about twenty yards away from them as he aimed his palm towards one Imp. [i]"Mana Bolt!"[/i] Upon shouting this a softball sized burst of blue energy shot from Reno's palm right at one of the Imps. --- Ren Mana Bolt (Projectile): 2 (Critical!) Imp Dodge: 96 (Fumble...) Critical Hit! Damage: 19 (x2) = 36 (Ignore Concentration) --- The bolt seemed to rip right through the creature, a 36 Critical! appearing above its head like the Critical Hits the others received before as the beast fell instantly, vanishing into thin air as it did so. Even Ren seemed to be surprised by that, but did not relent as right after that bolt left his hand another launched itself at a different Imp. --- Ren Mana Bolt (Projectile): 66 - 24 Projectile Weaponry = 42 Imp Dodge: 76 Hit! Damage Dealt: 10 --- This one didn't seem to have the same affect as the previous one, all of the Imps seemingly surprised by the sudden death of one of them and another getting blasted by another Mana bolt. All of them were chittering angrily now, but the party would have enough time to either get into position near Ren or go up with their new weapons and strike the adversary that lay before them since Ren's attack had caught them off guard, giving the group an opening that they could use. Of course, something also happened the moment Ren killed that Imp. In front of all of the others, each window only visible to the person they appeared in front of, appeared a window. That read as thus. [hider=What is says] Your Level has gone up by 1 [/hider] If the others in the party looked above someone else's head they could see that next to Lv. was now the number 2 instead of one, signifying a level increase. No other windows or prompts appeared though, but probably due to the fact that they were all in the middle of combat.
