"Bwaah. This place is no fun." Sylvie said as she walked through the forest slowly.

"I told you, Sylvie, we're heading to a city... Why would being in a forest be fun!?" Maria said as she was ready to hit her on the head.

"Aiya! What are you doing! You're going to kill me!" Sylvie cried out as she ran around in circles.

"Stop it you two, why are you still messing around! There are monsters and beasts in the forest! Shouldn't you at least be a bit wary?" Ariana said as she looked at the two.

"Ahh, get used to it. They're always like that." Sam said as he glanced at the two.

"I mean, there usually isn't really anything happening. And if anything does happen, it usually never goes wrong with Sylvie on our side." Chad added.

"Hey, guys! The city is here! Just up ahead!" Lance shouted as he was walking side by side with Elise.

"Really!? Let's go!" Sylvie said as she immediately started to run towards Lance and Elise.

"Ah! Why do you run so fast at such a time like this!?" Maria cried out as she hurried to catch up to Sylvie.

"Wait up!" Sam and Ariana said as they hurried to catch up to the group as well.

"Card Magic : Physical Enhancement Speed!" Chad said as he took out his cards so he could catch up to them without being left behind.

"Earth Magic : Carriage Creation!" Sam said as he placed both his palms onto the ground before a carriage appeared in front of the two.

"Let's get on before they leave us behind." Sam said as he helped Ariana get onto the passenger seat before he hopped on as well.

He then pushed the carriage a bit so the wheels would start going before he hopped onto the carriage as well.

"Wahh!" Chad cried as he jumped to the side as he saw the carriage heading towards his way.

"Sam! How could you do such a thing!" Chad said as he got his cards again.

"Card Magic : Stone Pebbles!" Chad said as he aimed the pebbles at the carriage's wheels.

Ting

"Oh no! Ariana hold on!" Sam said when he realized the carriage would turn over due to Chad aiming at the wheels.

"Okay!" Ariana said as he held onto him tightly.

As she held onto him tightly, Sam then jumped off the carriage before it turned over and smashed into pieces.

"Physical Reinforcement Magic : Agility!" Sam said as he started running away from Chad with the boost he had cast on himself.

"Get back here you!" Chad said as he saw Sam running away from him.

"Card Magic : Fireball!" Chad said as he shot a huge fireball towards Sam's direction.

However, past Sam was the rest of the group as well. Thus, the entire group got into a battle with each other.

"Bow Magic : Ice Arrow!" Elise said as she realized a light blue arrow towards the huge fireball.

As the arrow touched the fireball, the fireball froze before it shattered into pieces. Thus, leaving beautiful shining glass that glittered as it fell onto the ground. However, she wasn't just done yet. Since she got attacked, she must retaliate as well.

"Bow Magic : Electric Arrow!" Elise said as she let the arrow loose.

WHOOSH

"Oh this is bad!" Sam cried out as he saw the arrow heading towards his way.

"Earth Magic : Stairs Creation!" Chad said as he made stairs for him to walk onto so he could easily jump over the arrow without being hit by it and causing damage to Ariana.

"Card Magic : Crystal Shield!" Chad said as he threw the card right in front of his feet. Not much longer the arrow was already in front of the shield he had created.

BOOM

The crystal shield shattered into bits and pieces when the electric arrow collided with it. Chad being the chad he was, he immediately ducked down so the crystal shards wouldn't stab into him due to the force.

"Ugh!" Chad cried out as he stopped his body from flying out due to the immense amount of pressure the arrow had brought.

"Why are you still so strong! Can't you just go easier on me!? I almost died!" Chad said as he poked his head out of the broken crystal shield.

"You did attack first." Elise said as she turned around and started making her way towards the city.

"Get back here you all!" Chad said as he started running again to catch up on them.

...

"Um... That will be 5 silver per person..." The guard at the gate said as he looked at Sylvie.

"Here you go." Sylvie said as she placed 5 silver coins onto the guard's hand before walking in.

The rest of the group naturally did the same.

'What did those poor children face in the forest? They were all bruised up...' The guard thought inside his head as he watched them enter the city.

"What are you spacing out for man? Get back to the job. We have a long line of people wanting to enter the city nowadays." The guard next to him said when he saw his buddy doing nothing but looking at the wall.

"Oh, nothing. You're right, we have a long day ahead of us. Let's try to get as many as we can." The guard said as he snapped out of his daze before talking to the next person in line.

...

"Ahh! A warm bath is always the best after traveling!" Sylvie said as she soaked her body into the water.

"I know! Isn't it the best!" Ariana added as she sat next to Sylvie.

"Well, we should leave in a bit. We need our energy for tomorrow after all. So we can explore all the restaurants and clothing stores here. And then have some fun in the Adventurer's guild. There is also that dungeon in this city." Maria said as she looked at both of them.
