Chapter 6 - Speed of Sound

Do-Yun and Eun-Ji made it to her residence.

"We're not finished with this conversation. You will tell me the rest of the story in how you awakened."

Do-Yun nodded "I will. Come to my house tomorrow. we should be given an extended break because of the monster break-in.

"Alright, I will." Eun-Ji went into her house. A little shaken up.

Do-Yun walked away, and with a bit of an edge in his voice, he commanded the system to show itself.

"System. Show me my skills.

"VSH" The system window came from above, showing his new skills.

Skills:

Mana Cuircut 

Transport Link

Mana Engine (New!)

Aether Stride (New!)

Phantom Ride (New!)

"Hm...Three skills at the same time, Let's check them." Do-Yun said, clicking on the three new skills.

Mana Engine(Passive)- Mana is harnessed and handled more efficiently as if the user were a magical engine. This applies to all Forms of Transport.

Aether Stride (Active)- Use raw magical energy to gain a speed boost for a short time. This Applies to all forms of Transport.

Phantom Ride (Active)- Certain parts have special attributes, and bring out those attributes by force with spectral force. This applies to all forms of Transport.

Do-Yun smiled. "Not bad...but I need special parts to activate Phantom RIde...it has a prerequisite and frankly, I don't know how I'm going to find those special parts...how annoying." Do-Yun sighs. He then takes out the card of that Archer girl.

"That Noona gave this to me...I suppose I should drop by..." Do-Yun thought as he read the Guild Card. It said "Blazing Oath Guild"

"Transport Link" Do-Yun activated his skill. The wheels were engaged, he had gotten used to that cold sensation that connected his mind to the skate sneakers. 

There are many guilds in Korea. However, there are three Guilds that are either bigger or stronger than the rest. We call them the Trifecta. The Big Three Guilds. The Largest of "The Trifecta" Guilds is the {Burning Heart Guild}. The largest guild for the most unusual reason: They actually endorse and encourage fraternization because of their belief that love makes them stronger which earns them the nickname of the "Lovebird Guild", and the Guild-masters are also the famous married couple that awakened when the first gates opened. The second is the {Order of Black Flame}. A guild mainly made up of Mages, Assassin, and Tank class Blazers. They are known for their insanity and full-scale guild battle prowess. Lastly is the strongest Guild of them all: {Blazing Ash Moon Guild} They encourage absolute freedom with Strike Teams. They don't clear Gates. They get as many resources out of the Gates before clearing them. They're nicknamed the "Cleaner Guild" due to the fact they truly clean out as much of a gate as possible before clearing it.

The card Do-Yun had, was from the Burning Heart Guild. Most likely means that the Mage and Archer were most likely a couple within the guild and he was recruited by at least one of them. Do-Yun kept riding through the streets of busy cars, weaving through gracefully until he reached a grand building with the emblem of a hand holding a burning heart. He rides through and stops at the guild receptionist. 

"Hello, Sir!" The Receptionist smiled gleefully before Do-Yun smiled back and placed the card upside down and the receptionist read what it said. She recognized the handwriting and called over a loudspeaker. 

"She'll be here shortly. Please wait, sir." The receptionist gave a small bow to Do-Yun.

"Thank you." Do-Yun bows his head. At that moment, That same archer woman came by with the same mage he had seen at his school not too long ago.

"Noona," Do-Yun said, bluntly.

"Kid! Didn't think you'd come by!" The woman said, putting an arm over his shoulder as if they were close friends.

"You recruited me, didn't you?" Do-Yun asked

"Not quite yet, kid. You still gotta talk to our guild masters.

"And you plan to take me there?" Do-Yun questioned

"Yep. Follow us, Kid." The archer instructed Do-Yun

Do-Yun nods and follows the couple until they reach an office.

"Alright, kid. This is as far as we go. Good Luck." The Mage said

The two of them push him toward the office and he opens the door to be met by a large man, with a woman on his lap. 

"Hello." Do-Yun greeted the two. Oddly enough, he didn't feel oppressed, rather, he felt safe here.

"We heard you're the kid who fought and held out against two Goblin Champions. The man said, not even looking at Do-Yun, working on something on his computer instead, the sound of keyboard keys filled the room.

"I am," Do-Yun confirmed.

The woman spoke next. "We're here to sponsor you. We heard that you fought most unusually. On rollerskates of all things, and you're a newly awakened Blazer too."

Do-Yun was surprised "Why would you want to sponsor me?" 

"Eun-Ae found your skills impressive, and we took her at her word. We heard the story. What's your class?"

"Transport warrior." Do-Yun stated, matter-of-factly.

The typing stopped.

"Kid...Youre not pulling my leg now, are you? The man asked.

"I guarantee I am not." Do-Yun expressed and sighed.

"Prove it to us." The man finally looked up from his computer.

Do-Yun understood and pointed to his sneakers. "You see these sneakers? Do-Yun inquired.

"We do." the woman confirmed.

"Good. Transport Link." Do-Yun said his skill as the wheels deployed automatically. 

"Well that's a new one." The man said, watching, hiding a small smile.

"as you can see, I don't have anything to control these shoes with." Do-Yun started rolling while standing completely still, moving around as if he was an RC car again, making the woman giggle.

"Do you have any other skills?" the Man asked, putting a hand on his chin, stroking his beard. 

"I do, but I'd need a wider area to show them." 

"He's Transparent. Trustworthy, Blunt at times." The woman said.

"I like this kid." Said the man, his eyes almost lighting up in intriege.

"Say Kid, let us sponsor you, in return, you join our guild in the future. The woman and man said, now finishing each other's sentence their eyes seeming to have an eerie green glow.
