Chapter 57: Their Answer...
1036 Words
"Despite whatever the results going to be... If Sir Alfredo let us join his crew. Then please give us the opportunity to do so! Even if it goes bad of good for us... As long as Sir Alfredo is willing to let us join, we're going to join no matter what!"
Their Determination can be seen showing out of their eyes... I look at Mashura and she quietly nodded. Indicating that she accept that term and condition... As long as I'm fine with it huh...
"Alright then... If that's your answer. Then let me be the one who test you out! Prepare yourself because we're going to go on a treasure hunting. Our Target today is the Hole Northwest of the island. If you manage to do your job beautifully, then I will let you enter the crew..."
They both nodded with respect and then go back to the Lobby... I look at Mashura and then she set the destination to the Hole...
Of course... Things are still going to change later... If they perform badly... Then it's a no go for me... If they crack easily, then in the future, we're going to be the one who's protecting them.
We can't afford to protect other people because we're a squishy attacker. One hit is all it takes to hurt us bad...
And I want to dodge that situation no matter what I need to do to dodge it...
Anyway... We do need a tank and another attacker though... And someone who can at least attack using Elemental Attack is always valuable... Yuri is a Thunder Elemental User... So that will be useful if we fight against something water related...
Of course, I can always take over that role... But the thing about me is... The more I train with Mashura, the more I started to change in term of fighting style... I'm going to go to the frontline more often with Mashura...
I'm not going to use Gyzus... Instead, I'm going to use another Prototype... I made Gyzus as a Sniping Railgun... Of course, I can use it to kill monster with The Normal Rod, but that rod is too overkill for normal human...
So I will try to make a smaller, two handheld gun if possible... And with Magic Stone in my hand... I can add all sort of ability to it... Making chaining combos a lot more easier...
Anyway... It's another project for another time though... I just talk with Mashura for a bit while we're going to the Hole... And when we arrive... We can see a White Outline that is the hole, and then on the depth of the hole is a rough grey stone.. That's the meteorite huh...
Of course, I bring a lot of grenade and also bring a lot of Explosive Rod... I shouldered Gyzus and hold the Case... The case is filled with all the explosive... So mining thing should be easier...
"David, Yuri. Let's go out. We've arrived at the site of the Hole."
"Yes!"
Mashura and I slide down the ramp and they try to follow us but can't control their balance. So they fall down on their but and slide down slowly...
Mashura and I ignore them and then quickly go to the hole site, They need to master the ramp. If they can't do it, then how are they going to go in and out of the Rhea Absolut?
Anyway... Mashura and I approaches the hole slowly. We're trying to see which part of the ground we can step in that is still safe. After all, it's covered in bushes and dead branches... One wrong step, will send them down...
Sometime, there's nothing underneath this branches and vines... And that will send them down... Mashura and I can fly essentially with our Wind Walker. So we don't need to worry about it...
And after a thorough research on where to step to... We finally arrive at the really edge of the Hole... I can see that there's really nothing underneath this platform made out of organic matter...
"This is the hole that you're talking about captain?"
"Yeah... That grey matter on the ground is the remains of a meteorite that fallen a long time ago... It's really tough to crack... So, it took hundreds of years for the old Rhea kingdom to harvest. But the moment they crack the way, they easily farm all of the meteorite..."
Mashura immediately continues where it lefts off... Just like how proper vice captain...
"Not only that, there's some hidden caves in the wall that hold a lot of precious material. Our job today is to find that, honestly. But before we can find it out, we need to check out the Meteorite so that Alfredo can satisfy himself."
"... Mashura... The way you say it is weird you know? Satisfy myself? I'm not some kind of pervert. You know that."
Mashura just cover her mouth and chuckle awkwardly... Yuri and David just there while 'Aaaahahaha...'
Anyway... Let's not get distracted here...
"I want you to not get hurt by this drop... So, follow my lead. Okay?"
I look at Yuri and David. They both nodded... But then... Yuri said.
"Um, Captain. Just to be safe, Can I go down with Vice Captain Mashura? David will be just fine to drop down at this height. He trained his body that way anyway."
I look at David and he confirms that information... I look at Mashura if she's willing to do that or not... She just shook her shoulder like 'Sure. Why not.'
So that it's going to go faster...
"Yeah, You can do it. Mashura give her consent as well... Let's jump then!"
I lightly jump down toward the center of the hole. And everyone follow suit... Mashura... Was a bit hesitant to even touch Yuri... So, she hold her by her shoulder and they drop like that...
You silly lady... You don't even need to feel bad for me... Anyway... When we arrive down at the Meteorite... I felt an incredible toughness from the Meteorite... This is a nice material for me to have... It's going to give me a lot of idea to play with...
