Name: Oooh, Shiny. Rank: C Post Limit:: 3 Objective: Recently the Vulkans that live on Mount Hakobe have been growing bolder, going so far as to venture into nearby towns and steal anything that catches their eye (though they seem to prefer things that are shiny). Head to Mount Hakobe, find their stash, retrieve it through whatever means you see fit, and return it to the villagers. Reward: 225 Exp: 35 When Riley woke, to an already awake Yoichi, she crawled out of the makeshift tent and hurried off to make them some breakfast. Once this was done, they had eaten, and she had cleaned up, she proceeded to go about what she needed to do to get herself ready for the day. She might have been 'roughing' it, but she did not like to feel dirty or wear clothing two days in a row, so she washed, changed, etc, before turning to Yoichi and proposing that they get to training. With this in mind, she pretty much dragged him away from the safety of their campsite, the barn owl from the night before coming to flutter down to her shoulder, where he hooted a bit, glaring around at the brightness of the day before closing his eyes. Before long, they came to a cave, and Riley looked to Yoichi, indicating towards the cave, "within this place is a family of vulkans. They're all grown up and pretty powerful beasts. They've been stealing from the local villagers, whom want their possessions back, so we can deal with these monsters as we see fit," she pointed out, looking to Yoichi, "and by 'we', I mostly mean you" she added, with a bit of a giggle. "This is day one of your training, so I will let you deal with them by whatever means you see fit. Just remember, that things will get harder," she smiled once more, reclining a little on the heels of her feet, "if you need me for anything, just ask." Of course, it went without saying that if he was in a dire situation she would step in.

Yoichi sighed and nodded to her, His entire body began to glow before two magical circles appeared above and below him, Following him as he walked forward. As he walked each circle began moving over him, His clothes changing from what they once were to a red/orange colored full body armor aside from a helment, His hand extending and a magical circle appearing next to his hand, Extending forward to form a long Crystal shard blade that was about 8.5 feet in length "I don't think I'll need help this time, Riley-chan" He said with a smile, Giving her a thumbs up as he entered the cave, Carrying the sword with him "Let's go get the villagers their stuff back, If the Vulcan's wish to fight, Then I'll defeat each and every single one by myself" He didn't seem to want to wait for very long as he didn't stop to wait for Riley to start walking, Pretty confident that she'd come with him, A loud Hawk call coming from the sky before a Hawk dived down into the cave after him, Landing on his shoulder and it's claws digging somewhat into his armor, His free hand gently rubbing below it's beak, Yoichi seeming to know this Hawk as he was quite affectionate with it and even seemed to call it by Shenshi. Mana Remaining: 12/30
Spell Name: Requip - Flame Dragon Type: Requip Level: Mediocre Range: Self Description: This set of armor isn't exactly as the name of it would imply, This armor draws it's strength from the users Magical Attack and converts it into physical strength while equipped. This lasts until either canceled or the user runs out of mana. This has a 1:1 Ratio for the conversion between Magic Attack and Strength. Drawback: While this can convert any level of Magic Attack to Strength, Because it is merely Mediocre the caster can only use a maximum of Moderate (50 points). This is because any higher and the armor itself would shatter, The user CAN sacrifice the armor for the duration of the thread to be allowed to use their full Magic Attack for strength for 2 posts, However remember, Doing this locks this armor from being used and the armor WILL shatter after the two posts for the duration of the thread, This CANNOT be altered by anything.
Spell Name: Requip - Crystal Blade Type: Requip Level: Mediocre Range: Self Description: Summons a Crystal Sword, the blade, As the name implies, Resembles very closely to that of a Crystal shard, It's thickness, diameter and length is relevant to the Magic Attack of the user. This has no initial upfront cost, However drains mana every post, Including the one that it's summoned in. The blade is also surprisingly light weight, No matter what the length so it's easily usable with a single hand.
Blade Length: 0-19: 4 feet 20-39: 6 feet 40+: 8-9 feet Drawback: If any part of the blade is broken, It cannot be repaired for the rest of the thread, If the entire blade (Up to the hilt) is broken by a spell or attack that is 1 level or more above it, The hilt shatters in the users hand and renders them unable to use that hand for the rest of the thread and cripples it. Causing any attack from that hand to have 25% reduced effectiveness. If this effect is on the user then he must post this drawback in his starting post.

Riley arched a brow as two magic circles appeared around Yoichi - using a sort of spell she recognized, but not one which she knew that he had. She blinked a little stupidly, tilting her head a bit, "re-equip magic... When did you...?" Her voice trailed off somewhat incoherently, and she opened her mouth to speak once more, but was cut off.
Atlas let out a bit of a disconcerting sound as he spied the bird of prey diving downwards. He ruffled his feathers and pretty much hissed at the other bird, whom he seemed to think was going to attack him. He looked a bit grumpy when the bird perched on Yoichi's shoulder (whom he also was not terribly fond of), and shifted across Riley's shoulder, nuzzling into her neck a bit.
"Mm, there's nothing to fear, Atlas, I will always protect you, my oldest friend," she smiled gently, her voice soothing and calm as always, which the bird responded to by settling into her neck. He might not have understand all of her words, but her tone of voice was more than enough to put him at ease.
Riley stalked after Yoichi, as he had predicted, her green eyes dancing a little in the darkness of the cave. "Didn't know you had a pet," she absently remarked, "funny that we should both have birds..."

He smiled a little at her as she seemed shocked at him using Requip. "Relatively recently really....I was afraid of using it really, I'd only recently started using it so I wasn't exactly confident in using it, However when I found this armor...That all changed" He grinned some, Giving her a thumbs up as he continued still further into the cave "This blade alone has some remarkable qualities itself" He remarked, Hearing her bird screech a bit as his flew in.
Hearing her second question he nodded "I haven't had him around much mostly because yours is an Owl, I didn't want mine to try and attack it out of instinct" He muttered, Petting his hawk gently, Stopping briefly as he turned half way towards her "Riley, Don't mention this to anyone alright? I don't want anyone else to know about me being able to use Requip"

"Hmmm, I see," Riley mused, tipping her head a bit to one side as she thought, feeling Atlas' soft feather tickling as the side of her face, she smiled a bit, sliding her hands into her pockets. "I'm glad you were able to learn something a little more defensive though," she added after a few moments, giving a bit of a smile as she did so.
"Does the armor hinder your speed much?" She wondered a moment later, her fingers drawing a treat from her pocket and offering it to the owl somewhat absently.
"Well, that's a good point, I suppose, though I wouldn't let anything hurt Atlas as long as I am around," she nodded her head a bit, firmly, "he is actually a token of status in the assassin's guild I was reared up in, trained to aid me in combat," she absently remarked, and the bird seemed to puff his chest out with pride. "Oh, and don't worry, I wont tell anyone~" Riley assured, smiling as she did so.
Up ahead, a rattling could be heard, as well as some heavy breathing, which suggested that perhaps they were getting close..

He shook his head to her question "No it doesn't hinder me thankfully, At least not this armor set..." When he heard the rattling he smiled, Clicking his tongue a few times and his hawk shifting a bit as he flapped its wings and jumped off his shoulder to go to a perch higher up to watch, Screeching out when it caught sight of the monsters, Yoichi walking forward towards them and smiling, His armor making a bright shine as he entered the light, A smirk on his lips "Well hello there my good chums, That's some might fine treasure you got there, Mind if I take my share?" He asked them with a smirk.
His blade scraping along the ground as he spoke, Walking towards them slowly "Riley...What's my limit on them?" He asked her, referring to weather or not he could kill them if necessary.

As several of the ape like monsters emerged Riley took a step back, so that she would not get into Yoichi's way, "well, they keep going into the town below and they've only been stealing things, thus far," the young woman pointed out, leaning against the wall of the cave as she did so, her green eyes dancing a bit.
"But with that being said, Vulkans are known for being violent and temperamental, and on top of that they are even able to use magic, not to mention all of their physical strength," she mused, licking her lips a bit, she gazed after him, "you can do the math involving this information as you please, and resolve it however you see fit." She shrugged a little, interested to see what he would do on his own accord.
"I do wish for you to change, but I do not wish to control everything you do, Yoichi. You are a grown, free man, so I trust you to make these decisions on your own," she smiled a bit, seeming to genuinely want him to make this decision for himself.

He smiled and sighed shrugging, Waiting for the apes to make their move first "Well guess I'll have to finish this off in one blow to each then" He muttered, Rolling his shoulders "What'dya think? One slash to their backs?" He asked Riley as he prepared himself for them to attack. His eyes staying to their feet to keep watch of their movements while also counting how many there actually were.

"Mm, you'll want to dispatch of them quickly," she agreed, leaning more so on the wall of the cave as she did so, "you see, they possess a sort of magic that would allow them to steal your body if you were to lose to them. I'm sure that's not something either of us desire," she chuckled a little, crossing her arms over her chest as she closed her eyes so.
Four Vulcan stood before Yoichi, as they were creatures that tended to gather in a pack. Two stood to the front, prepared for a more frontal assault as they were larger and more muscular, while the other two, smaller, and more agile looking, hung back, likely waiting for the opportune moment to strike.
The two in front grunted to one another, the one on the left holding a large piece of wood like a club, he launched forwards first, a step ahead of the other as they attacked Yoichi (paying Riley little mind as she looked weak and useless anyways), he swung his club at the human, attempting to split his head open while all four howled - the two that had been lingering further back in the cave now sneaking forwards.

He smirked as they launched themselves forward, Vanishing from his spot and appearing behind the two that were attempting to sneak around "Where do you two think you're going?" He asked, Swinging his blade down with a substantial amount of force, His armor glowing brightly and soon, His blade began to gleam in the light of it, Causing the light that reflected to be 'shot' in all manner of directions, This wasn't really a technique, It was just something of a coincidence as the crystal-like blade reflected the light to blind those around him.
His blade aimed right for the back of one, Aiming to cut straight down its spine. Vanishing immediately afterwards and appearing to the side of the other, His blade coming down in an attempt to slice off it's arm completely, Vanishing shortly after the blade might've connected or missed, Now aiming his focus for the two more muscular ones "Let me guess, the brutes of the bunch" He smirked, Two circles appearing, One above and one below him, Crossing him and changing his armor to be more crystal shaped, Looking much like an elfen made piece of crystal armor "Now, Bring it on you big ugly monkeys"

Atlas let out an annoyed squawking sound as Yoichi felt the need to blind everyone in the immediate area, he shuffled along Riley's shoulder, seeming uneasy until she reached up to stroke his feathers. The young woman was temporarily blinded as well, but she did not require sight to know where everyone in the cave was located.
Yoichi succeeded in slicing along the spine of one of the vulcan's, which instantly howled and fell to the ground, twitching due to nerve damage, but unable to move because of the cut - not that it lived long after that, really.
The second, whose arm he had tried to slice off, dodged just in time to avoid a serious injury, though he did take a slash to the arm. The two brutish vulcans growled angrily, launching at Yoichi once more, one swinging the club down and the other doing a bit of a spinning kick to try to hit his torso.

Yoichi smirked as they both came at him "Pathetic" He raised the blade up, Pressing it against his arm as the other arm raised as well, The club smashing against his sword and the leg smashing against his arm, Pushing them both in a little "You two should figure out what type of armor I have on before attacking" He stated, Disappearing and appearing behind the one that had the club "You see, This armor increases my endurance greatly, So your physical attacks do nothing to me" He stated, Vanishing and appearing away from them "Dark Ecriture, Fear" As he said this, He drew a few runes in the air and made a single slash in the middle, Sending the runes flying towards the two physically buff Vulcans "Now then, Get lost you two!" He shouted at them commandingly "I am in control of you now, So turn tail and run or be cut down like your friend over there!" Mana Remaining 10/30 Spell Name: Fear Type: Caster Level: Intermediate Range: 20 feet Description:When cast, The user writes a set of runes on the intended target, Sending the target into a state of panic and duress, Often causing them to either panic and run around, Or turn tail and run entirely Drawback:only works on mages of your own level or lower.

Riley watched the fight in utter silence, her green eyes blinking slowly as she over looked what was happening, her green eyes remaining attentive and vigilant. She arched a brow a bit as Yoichi cast a fear based spell on the Vulcan's, whom stood still for a moment...
Before fleeing in terror. She chuckled a little to herself, shaking her head some as the two largest monkey like beasts scattered, retreating further into the cave and out of sight, with the remaining 'stealthy' vulcan lingered back, back pressed to a wall as it's eyes darted about, attempting to find a way out. It skittered along the wall, attempting to make it's escape as well.
Riley uncrossed her arms from over her chest, up righting herself and glancing around as she did so, "seems the vulcans have been dealt with... Which means the stolen possessions just need to be discovered and returned," she remarked, striding absently, boredly, forwards.

He looked back at her as the remaining Vulcan ran in terror, Giving her a thumbs up with a smile as his armor and word faded "To be honest...I need a better weapon, Probably one like that first set of armor...Exquiping during a fight can still take a lot of time so swapping armor over and over in quick succession can be tricky" He mused. Looking into the cave he waved for her to come, His own hawk flapping its wings and moving from its perch to his shoulder once more.
As they ventured further into the cave, Yoichi had moved back to be closer to her, His hawk on the farther shoulder, away from her owl. Though he didn't say anything, His hawk already knew he wasn't to touch her owl, Or to even try, Add to it, It was probably obvious he wasn't to be close or even around if possible. Yoichi's arm wrapped around Riley's waist and pulled her close, Kissing her head softly.

"Hmm, well, you can always buy new types of armor, at least," she mused, strolling along absently as she glanced to the bird that were perched upon her shoulder (whom was still looking a little jilted), "perhaps you could try getting different smiths to craft and enchant your weapons. After all, everyone has different ideas," she absently remarked, strolling after him as her eyes remained vigilant, just in casse the Vulcans decided to come back or more appeared out of no where.
Atlas had taken to simply ignoring the other bird, his beak pushed high into the air as he perched with an air of superiority.
She felt his arm slide around her waist, and soon felt his kiss upon her head. "Your mission is not over yet," she remarked, without missing a beat.
