They arrived at the association safety and Alaric couldn't wait to get out of the car.

" Haha.. I didn't know you could get car sick," Kisha said him as she got out of the car laughing.

" Yell that to the police. I want a clean record and an intact body," he said while leaning against the wall trying to catch his breath.

" Okay sorry, " she said and hugged him pulling his head to her chest. He rubbed his face on her chest while she laughed above him.

He pulled out of her embrace and looked around to see people looking at them in shock. Not his problem, they should have close their eyes.

" I like your driving now," he said to her and put his hands around her waist and kissed her lightly on her lips. He sucked her lips a little before releasing her.

" Okay, let's go," he said as he pulled her towards the association . She followed behind him still giggling.

They both went directly to his normal booth and found there was no line . Alaric gave the old man their cards without being asked and stood there waiting for his response while Kisha played with his hand.

After a few minutes of typing the man slide the cards to them

" There is a dungeon near the University district, a guild is recruiting two people so I've recommended you , " he said to Alaric.

Alaric although skeptical of people, he didn't want to let the man down since he was his only contact in the association and it seemed he had finally warmed up to him.

" Thank you," he bowed his head before taking Kisha's hand and turned to leave.

" Wait," the man said, Alaric turned to look at him puzzled, " you use a whip don't you?"

Alaric nodded and summoned his whip to show him. The man looked at it through the glass and nodded.

" You should add a knife to the handle, a retractable one," he said pointing towards the market, " there is a friend of mine who is good at weapons. "

Alaric nodded Wondering how it came to him modifying his whip although the idea was very sensible.

"But the time.." he started but he cut him off.

" Remakes takes twenty minutes, you won't be late. It's the corner most shop at the southern part of the market, " the man said dismissively.

Alaric sighed inwardly and nodded before leaving.

" You should go, " Kisha said turning to look back," the man was kind enough to tell you."

Alaric nodded and they went to the Market. They walked to the south and started to look for a blacksmith shop . But took them ten minutes to find it.

The was a small shop and Alaric was enough to make it full. Kisha had to stand outside the door and look inside while Alaric knocked on the counter.

" Coming," a deep voice sounded from the back. A minute a banging sound and the sound of metal falling on each other sounded.

" Are you okay?" Alaric shouted towards the back.

" Yap , yap" a man stumbled out of the backroom covered in soot. Alaric took a step back from the counter as he approached. The man didn't seem to notice.

" How can I help you?" The man ask.

" We've been sent here by the man on the end booth, I don't know his name, " Alaric said honestly.

He summoned his whip and placed on the counter top.

" He said you could help me add a switch blade inside my whip handle, " Alaric said pointing at the handle covered in croczillas skin. He just hoped it won't slide of his hands.

It didn't. Alaric was a little disappointment about that.

The man took the weapon at the back and Alaric felt like just taking it back. But he knew he couldn't depend on the system for everything regarding it's modification.

Adding a danger at the end might be helpful, if the enemy is near and the whip won't work, then it was better to have a dagger than nothing. He knows there are close ranged and long ranged fighters and he had to adapt to the fighting style of both sides.

Fifteen torturous moments later, the man came out holding his whip.

" I've done a few extra modification for you since you are my first customer, " he said and gave the whip to Alaric.

" Thanks, " Alaric said taking the whip. It looked just the same except for the two little buttons at the top of the handle.

" Those buttons are the ones that activate the weapon, " he said excitedly," press the right button."

Alaric nodded. He pressed the button and then a knife slid out at the back of his handle. It was almost the same size as the handle and could pass of as a small dagger.

" This is Soo cool, now you have two weapons," Kisha said from the door as she watched him.

Alaric nodded excitedly . He had been skeptical but now he couldn't wait to press the next button.

" Press the other one," the man told him.

Alaric couldn't be more pleasured.

He pressed the button and then small thorns that were bent a little and we're Hooked backwards protruded from under the whip.

Alaric touched the thorns. It pricked him instantly.

" Hey be careful," the man shouted but Alaric had already self harmed.

Alaric felt like his weapon had started to turn into those torture Whip. Actually it already is, Alaric thought to himself amused.

Now, if someone got hit with the thorned whip, it will probably come out with flesh.

" Press the button again to retract them."

Alaric pressed it and it disappeared like it never existed. His whip had gone back to how it used to look.

He smiled, he should really thank that man.

" Alaric, we are almost late," Kisha's voice came. This startled Alaric out of his excitement.

" How much is the modification?" He asked the man. The man laughed and shook his head.

" No, it's okay this is on me, " Alaric opened his mouth to argue but Kisha took his hand and pulled him away.

They hurriedly walked through the association and to the parking lot where her car was.

Alaric didn't even complain when she took the drivers seat. He just closed his eyes and let the wind slap his face.

Ten minutes later , they came to a stop at the awakened dedicated parking lot.

Both of them opened the car door at the same time and closing it behind them. They both sprinted across the parking with Kisha being almost as fast as him despite her wearing heels.

They arrived at the portal in the nick of time cause they saw a line for card confirmation. Card confirmation are a mandatory requirement for all awakeners despite being from the guild or not.

Not all guilds are good. Most of them cannot be trusted and their are awakened who have been banned by the federation from entering dungeons and they use the guild fronts to sneak in.

" Why the fuck are you two this late?" A female voice shouted at them the moment they got in the line.

Alaric turned to see a tall woman almost six foot, very short hair and was wearing full combat uniform.

" Traffic," Alaric answered naturally. Kisha's hand on his shirt tightened.

" By now the traffic should be moving smoothly, so you two are lying," she said moving towards Alaric until she was right Infront of him.

" I'm telling you it was traffic, you can go and check," Alaric emphasized his lie it wasn't like she was going to look around.

She stared at him for a while before sighing and stepping back.

" Don't ever do that again," she said and walked back to the front of the line.

" Can you tell me who that is," Kisha whispered to the girl Infront of her. The girl startled before she noticed that Kisha was talking to her.

" That's Jenna, she's one of the newer recruits in the guild. She's a genius got scouted by a lot of guilds but came to ours. The girl said proudly," Kisha nodded and Alaric saw her turn off as the girl continued to talk.

" By the way, what's the name of your guild?" He whispered to her.

The girl looked at him like he had done a disservice by not knowing the name of the guild.

" It's flame guild the number five top guild in the whole federation," she said her nose up in the air.

It was Alarics turn to be shocked. He thought the man would recommend them to some tiny guild not this. Alaric felt like he had been put on an invisible test that he didn't know the question to but was required to answer.

The Line reduced until it was their turn to give cards. They were checked and given the dungeon pass before they joined the group.

That girl Jenna looked at them and sneered turning to look at the portal. What had they done to that goofy two shoes, Alaric though as they started to enter the dungeon.

He just hoped nothing unexpected would happen. He took Kisha's hand before they were swallowed by the light.
