BANG!
Kyle's hammer hit Bundt's Shield, and Bundt was pushed back by several meters while he groaned.
"Fuck, this hurts!" Bundt shouted, having learned a new word.
"You're one to talk!" Kyle shouted. "Your stance didn't even break!"
"That's because I'm two levels higher than you!"
"Well, I'm a dwarf. My strength is already higher than a normal Initial Fighter!"
"That's still an entire level of advantage!" Bundt shouted back.
"Yeah, well, fuck you!" Kyle shouted as he charged forward again.
Bundt hid behind his shield.
Yet, the next moment, his shield suddenly grew in size, as did his body.
The shield was now almost two meters tall, while Bundt was almost three meters tall.
BOOOOM!
Kyle's hammer hit Bundt's shield, but Bundt didn't move an inch.
"There, much easier," Bundt said with a smile.
Kyle just grumbled.
'I really need a True Body,' he thought.
Naturally, as soon as Bundt summoned his True Body, this was no longer a fight.
Kyle lost very quickly, and Gill told them that it was a good fight.
"Seriously," Bundt said, walking up to Kyle. "Your hammer is scary. If anyone else got hit by this, they would die in an instant. Aren't you afraid that you will accidentally kill a guy during sparring?"
Kyle snickered. "I only hit you that hard. I know that you can take it."
"Wow, lucky me," Bundt said with sarcasm. "By the way, how long have you been here? I feel like you just joined two weeks ago."
"Six months," Kyle answered.
"Six months already," Bundt commented. "Right! You're no longer the newest member, right?"
"Yep," Kyle answered. "There are like nine who are newer."
"You grew quite fast within these six months," Bundt commented. "You're almost not useless anymore."
"That will be 10% of the reward when I investigate something for you next time," Kyle said.
"I was just joking!" Bundt said.
"Same," Kyle answered.
The two of them bantered a bit more, and eventually, Gill's course ended for the day.
Kyle received his feedback and went back to the cafeteria.
He waited a second near the entrance and looked around.
'No customers today,' he thought. 'Well, time to-'
"Kyle."
Kyle looked over and saw Wyveria gesturing to him to come closer.
'Wonder what she wants,' Kyle thought as he came closer.
Wyveria was currently sitting at a big table with four other people.
Surprisingly, the other four people were men.
"Ace Team got a mission?" Kyle asked, looking at everyone.
"Hi, Kyle!" Bonk shouted, who also sat at the table.
"Hey, Bonk," Kyle answered with a smile.
At this moment, the Ace Team was gathered at the table, and they were all looking at a stack of papers in front of them.
"Yes, we got a mission," Wyveria answered, "and it's a strange one."
Wyveria moved the stack of papers to Kyle, who read through it.
"I can see that," Kyle commented.
'Mass death,' Kyle thought as he scratched his chin. 'Vegetation is dying. Beasts are mysteriously starving. Humans feel intense fear when walking close to the affected area.'
'Even the corpse of a Peak Ferocious Beast was found in the area.'
'This is serious business. If we don't find out what's going on, Starkhold's economy will be affected. No surprise that this mission went to the Ace Team. Although…'
"This seems more like something the Count should deal with personally," Kyle said. "This seems too serious."
