A boy jumped toward them with two daggers.
The boy used an ability.
"WIND MISOMA: HURRICANE SLICER!"
Two sharp slashes of wind rushed toward Zam and Zoku, but they dodged them.
Zoku put on his FAG.
"Check who this is," said Zoku.
The FAG displayed:
Leketik Zecker
Registered Fighter
Current Rank — C Rank
Status — Single Fighter
Aura Type — Misoma
Misoma Type — Wind (Elemental)
Who are you?" asked Zam.
"Why would I reveal my identity to a Dangerer?" said Zecker coldly.
"Wait! We're not Dangerers — we're Fighters!" shouted Zoku.
Zecker suddenly stopped.
"Tsk… what a waste of time. I sensed a Dangerer here… bruh," said Zecker.
Zecker looked at Zam. He sensed that Zam had no aura.
Suddenly, two daggers appeared in his hands. In an instant, Zecker pressed the daggers against Zam's face.
"Tell me who you are. You're a Dangerer, aren't you?" said Zecker.
"What? Me? I'm not a Dangerer," said Zam.
"Stop lying. You're suppressing your aura, aren't you?" said Zecker.
Zam pushed Zecker away.
Zecker thought, "What insane physical strength… He must be a Dangerer in disguise."
"Hey, stop it! I'm a Fighter. I just don't have aura. If you still doubt me, check me in your FAG," said Zam.
"Tsk… I don't believe you, but I guess I have to," said Zecker.
Zecker took his FAG from his pocket and put it on.
He asked the FAG, "Check if he is a Fighter."
The FAG responded:
"Analyzing… Analyzing complete… Yes, he is a registered Fighter. Would you like his profile?"
"Tsk… so you really are a Fighter. Anyway, sorry for the misunderstanding. I can't believe there's someone who has no aura and still became a Fighter, but it's your choice. I'm not judging you. Bye," said Zecker.
Zecker started to walk away.
But suddenly, Zoku asked, "You're a C Rank Fighter, aren't you? You should know how to get food as a Fighter, right? If you know, please tell us."
"Oh, you want food? Actually, squads usually have a doctor and a cook in their team. But solo Fighters get food from FRC, also known as Fighter Relaxing Centers," said Zecker.
"Oh, then where can we find FRCs?" asked Zam.
"Bruh… you don't even know that? Just ask your freaking FAG," said Zecker.
"Oh… okay… okay… thanks for the advice. We're just a duo of Fighters starting out," said Zoku.
"Mind if I ask you something? Wanna join my club?" asked Zam.
Zecker's face suddenly dropped.
"M–me… joining your… squad?" asked Zecker.
"Yep. If you're willing," said Zam.
"Nah—nah. I'm a prideful Fighter. I don't want others' help," said Zecker.
"If you don't want to, you don't have to join," said Zam calmly.
"Actually… I am looking to join a club, but I don't like that airhead right there in your club…" said Zecker, glancing at Zoku.
Zam laughed.
"Oh, him? He's my vice captain — Rolio Zoku."
"Me? An airhead? Bruh, who are you to call me that?!" shouted Zoku.
"You bastard, shut your mouth. Hey, what was your name… Sam—no, Zam, right? I'll join your club as a warrior," said Zecker.
"Yeah… that's good. Welcome to the Zambrox Fighters…" said Zam.
"Tsk… whatever," said Zecker and Zoku at the same time.
"By the way, which rank are you two? C Rank? Or B Rank?" asked Zecker.
"Oh… we're just E Rank," said Zoku.
"Actually, we just started two days ago… that's why we're still E Rank," said Zam.
"Oh… okay. Actually, I started six days ago too," said Zecker.
"Then can we go to this FRC place? I'm very hungry after all this," said Zam.
"Yep, let's go," said Zoku.
"Yeah, let's go," said Zecker.
They started walking through the forest.
Zam tapped the side of his FAG.
The FAG asked, "What can I do for you, sir?"
"Give me the location of the nearest FRC," said Zam.
A window appeared on the FAG.
"Sir, the nearest FRC is about 3 km away."
The FAG displayed a clear path for them.
"Guys, it's about 3 km away. Let's go," said Zam.
"Roger," said Zecker and Zoku.
Suddenly, another window appeared on Zam's FAG. It read:
"Is Leketik Zecker a member of the Zambrox Fighters?"
Zam looked at Zecker anxiously.
"Should I say yes to it?" asked Zam.
"It's an application for the Fighters Association to verify this squad. They are locating us through these FAGs. Say yes and add me as a warrior-type member," said Zecker.
"Okay then, I'll say yes," said Zam.
"I, Zikodi Zam, the captain of the Zambrox Fighters, confirm that he is a warrior-type fighter in my squad," said Zam to the FAG.
"RRRRR… Information submitted… Thank you for the submission, sir," said the FAG.
"Then we should start walking to the FRC," said Zam.
They started walking through the silent forest. The sun was shining directly above them.
Suddenly, all of their FAGs started vibrating.
"DANGERER ALERT! DANGERER ALERT! ON THE LEFT."
"Let's go check it. Fast!" Zam said, and all of them followed his lead, running toward the left.
Suddenly, they saw a Dangerer fighting a Fighter.
It was a female Fighter — so gorgeous that Zoku's mouth widened.
Suddenly, the Dangerer shouted, "FIRE CLAWS!"
Claws made of fire slashed toward the female Fighter. She took her dagger and said, "WATER MISOMA: FLOWING STREAM!"
Her short blue hair swayed in the wind as she flowed like a stream of water toward the Dangerer. But the Dangerer caught her mid-attack.
Suddenly, a streak of light shot toward the Dangerer. The light cut through the claws of fire. However, the Dangerer kicked the light away with his leg.
Zam quickly took his FAG and analyzed the Dangerer.
"Sir, S Rank Dangerer. Aura Type — Fire Manipulation."
The "light" was actually a human — a gorgeous female Fighter with flowing yellow hair. She grabbed her sword again and shouted,
"LIGHT MISOMA: DAZZLING LIGHT RAY!"
She attacked the Dangerer in a blitz, but the Dangerer caught her with his hands.
"You are not fast enough, puny girl," it said.
Suddenly, Zam jumped toward the Dangerer and landed a punch on its head. The Dangerer crashed to the ground.
The two female Fighters were now free.
The yellow-haired Fighter picked up her sword.
Zam said to her, "Wait. He knows your movements. I'll handle this."
The yellow-haired Fighter blushed slightly and said, "O–oh… okay."
