The day was still young as Leocan left the city of Londinium in search for a fight; after all he hadn’t had much practice lately. This world was very different than what he was used to. It had the basics of the MMOs he had become accustomed to, however the issue lied in the part where he actually had to control himself, physically, to move in fights and just over all strike his opponent. Just the thought of the prospect gave him a shudder; this was too realistic for him to simply imagine that it was even a possibility. He’d swung his scythe around before in town, and had gotten strange looks from everyone around him, then moved to a desolate part of town and the same occured; this time it was the town guard. ‘Training inside town is not really permitted, might as well test my mettle in an actual fight.’ He thought to himself, taking note of what happened to the adventurers whom had killed each other on the first day. Death simply meant an awkward trip back to the cathedral it had seemed; probably not a pleasant trip but it was still a trip.
As Leocan wandered outside of the town, he noticed what looked like several beings in quite a scuffle off in the distance. Curious, he picked up his pace to catch up and see what was happening. At first, he thought it was simply more adventurers fighting boars, but upon hearing a panicked which was screaming at his partner, he knew what he was getting into.
"Frank! You're not an Adventurer and dammit you aren't a tank! GET OVER HERE!"
As Leocan heard the shouts his pace picked up even faster, and faster, and even faster as he broke into a full sprint towards the battle. Why was he running so hard and fast? He didn’t know these people; for all he knew they didn’t really want his help. Screw that, they are getting his help. Thankfully the guard named Frank seemed to be quite adept at avoiding the boars as they attempted to slam into him one by one, nearly dodging hit after hit. Unfortunately, it seemed that ‘Frank’ lost his balance and a boar was about to nail a direct hit on the man; right as Leocan came within range. Without a second thought, Leocan activated his first skill on his ‘hotbar.’ Ace Move: Go no Sen; pulling his scythe off of his back he slammed the shaft of his weapon into the boar, intercepting the blow and knocking it off course, causing the boar to slam directly into the ground only to be met by the executing edge of the blade attached to the top most end of the scythe. ‘Got him, goodness this skill seems way flashier than I expected.’ Pulling his scythe closer to himself to prepare for the next onslaught, he expected several more attacks from all of the boars nearby; which never came. His sudden appearance in the fight seemed to cause the boars to become hesitant, not knowing what he was even capable of. They inched closer and closer, just far enough for them to initiate a tackle or a charge but close enough where Leocan could swipe at them; but likely miss.
“You ok, Frank?” The name he had heard earlier popped out of his lips as if it was a common name he could spout whenever he wanted. Leocan took a couple of steps back as the boars started to approach; if he struck now he would remove the eye of the hurricane effect he had created upon entry.
“Yeah I was fine, ruining my fun you are.” Frank had apparantly had the entire situation under his control despite being nearly murdered seconds ago, the man seemed to be literally made from the same kind of steel that Baxton was made of, just a different kind of forging process. His panting could be heard from several meters away, showing just how tired this Frank fella actually was.
“You should stand back, no need for casualties.” Leocan spoke as he backed even closer to Frank; a bad move if the Samurai had been thinking for a second longer, as his backing towards Frank showed the boars that he was indeed a thread, causing them to charge him one after another. Since Leocan hadn’t expected it, two of the boars managed to land their hits on him and a third boar missed just barely, giving him enough time to activate his other skill, Ace Move: Shunsen. His arms moved on their own, twisting his scythe behind his back slightly before slicing a large horizontal slash in front of himself, leaving behind what looked like a gap in the air around where he struck; deflecting three more boars as they dived at him. ‘Exactly why I chose this ability, area of effect zone control; a Tanks best friend.’ He winced as the effects of the two hits he received were just realized. His armor wasn’t heavy enough to be classified as a tank, and those two boars that connected did a serious chunk of his health, around twenty percent or so. ‘These boars are deadlier than I thought, jeez. What do I do now?’ Leocan asked himself as he glanced behind himself to check on Frank.
It looked like Shunsen wasn’t enough to hold back the boars, as the remaining four were left fully capable of simply walking around it to get to him or Frank, and the guard yelling for Frank to come back continued to do so; too terrified to join the melee in fear for his own life.
