"I have been very jealous when I saw people flying over the city but not anymore, now people are jealous of me seeing me flying over the city."
"Look, I could even see some fellows down below, who are are looking at me jealously," said Sophia laughingly.
"Snort!" snorted Reina to sister’s silly comments.
I shook my seeing this, ever since we started to walk on the air over the city Sophia had been making such silly statements. She had even waved at the boy who was watching her from below.
Soon we reached near the gate and walked over it without stooping under numerous jealous and admiring gazes of people.
I am really walking over it, I thought as I walked over the city gates of fort cavendish, I have dreamed of doing this and now I am doing this. Goodbye to the long lines at the city gates.
"We are going to Madeleine swamp, it is a famous rookie area and there are a lot of Grimm monsters found there to hunt." Team Leader said as we cross the city and entered the wasteland.
Madeleine Swamp! That area, I said out loud in my heart. Madeleine swamp is one of the most dangerous hunting ground for the rookies and also it has one of the highest casualties of rookies found in that area.
And the reason for that is those fucking Gatorman tribe and Snakeman tribe, the fuckers from these two tribes hide in the water and perform a sneak attack.
It isn’t that these are the only two most dangerous in the swamp, the Black Bearman tribe and few others are also dangerous but these fuckers are very good at sneak attacks and that is why they killed most people than other tribes.
"Isn’t that hunting ground bit too dangerous Team Leader?" asked Sophia, a little fear could be seen in her eyes.
"What is there to fear, its just a swamp and even if something dangerous comes up I am sure you guys will able to handle without a problem." said instructor carefreely.
That’s not reassuring at all! I said in my mind. If you had said if something dangerous, I will handle then we would feel reassuring.
We all stared at him but he acted as he didnt notice anything and continue running toward the direction of the swamp.
The Madeleine Swamp spread in a very vast area, its area many times larger than the Saltines hill’s and probably that is one had a hard time coming across another human being in the Madeleine Swamp, unlike saltine hills where one could easily find another human being within half an hour and that also one of reason the Madeleine swamp is dangerous as one cant easily find help if one is in danger.
"We have come this far but you haven’t introduced yourselves to your teammates?" The team leader asked with his ever casual tone.
"Ritchie, Emma, Ben, Sophia, Raina, Micheal." one by one we all introduced ourself and I am finally able to know the name of the girl and body that came after me.
Of all seven people, Sylvian is strongest as he is not only our team Leader and instructor but also he also strongest here despite being the same age as Ritchie, Emma, and Ben.
Aside from the instructor the strongest in our group are Emma them Ritchie, I and Ben have similar strength while Sophia and Reina are the weakest.
We ran for about one and a half when we finally saw swamp and like all swaps, it also excludes gloominess despite having sufficient sunlight.
Pach Pach....
We all landed on the wanter one by one and stood above it, Corporal stage and above can walk on the water easily, its just mana manipulation.
"All right, before going into the Swamp, you all have to remember this one sign," he said and then he performed thumbs down with his right hand.
"This means Grimm monsters and they could launch a sneak attack!" he said and we all looked at him dumbfoundedly.
You could have used better hand sign than thumbs down which usually means, not good.
Seeing we all understood his intentions, he started on to move forward and we followed him behind him, ready for any attack that came in our way.
As I walk with my teammates, I found this swamp silent and gloomy, though I have read about it but never experienced this sort of environment before, even if Sardine Hill’s were silent, they were never gloomy like this.
It’s not like I have never have hunted in the swamps before but they were never this silent and gloomy that just being in the area will make one feel suffocated in such gloominess.
Finally, after ten minutes in the swamp, I felt faint killing intent through my killing Rule just two-meter distance from me, It looked like a little monster is hiding nearby, I thought.
I did not react nor showed any obvious reaction just continued to walk, first I wanted to see if anyone in my group also had spotted it and second that its just one monster of Major stage which could be defeated by anyone here.
We had just walk two steps when the team leader had taken out dart from his pocket and threw it had his left side without looking as he continues to walk as he did nothing.
"Ahhh....." just a moment after he threw lightning charged dart, we heard a painful cry and next second a yellow snake came out screaming with its whole skin charred while lightning keeps darting on its.
It had screamed for a few seconds before it stopped as its body completely turned to ash, not a single bone or flesh remained on it, everything burned to ash.
We all watch with our mouth agape! What is this might? To be able to burn a Major level Grimm race monster to ashes directly, I have never such immense might from anyone.
This team leader is much stronger than I had estimated.
"Why are you all here standing for?" asked the team leader only to see he had walked several meters ahead of us. Taking one last look at black ash that is floating on the water, we quickly follow the instructor.
As we walk deeper into the swamp, the more monsters we came across but all of them were killed by the instructor.
And I am not very surprised to find that the team leader’s senses were much stronger than mine and I could only match him if I actively activate my killing rule.
"Team leader why are you killing all Grimm race monsters, aren’t we supposed to fight them?" Asked Sophia.
GOD BLESS HER! I and others thought, this question arose in our mind also but we didnt have guts ask seeing him killing monsters as if killing mosquitoes that annoy us.
"These monster in group ones and twos didnt pose a challenge to you at all"
"Only fighting a big group of Grimm race monsters will pose any challenge to you and help your abilities improve." Said team leader as he casually threw another lightning covered dart and next moment we heard another painful scream grim race monster before it turned to ash but this time we didnt spare a glance as it had become a common sight for us for the past hour.
