Request
After sleeping for awhile, Firebreak woke up from the suburb he is in. A room that is just right. He looked to his left to see all of his gear, his weapons and that doll. He remembered when Slayer asked him of that specific possession of his.
Flashback
While they were walking towards the Farm, Slayer notices a strange thing on Firebreak's waist. It's a doll with bright colors that contrasted Firebreak's outfit which is mostly dark with orange being the only color to stand out.
Slayer: Why are you carrying that thing on your waist?
Firebreak: *stopped walking and take the doll out if his waist to inspected it* it reminded me of someone.
Slayer: Who was it?
Firebreak: Someone I thought still had trust in me. She ended up turning into a pyromaniac, only worse.
Slayer: Lover?
Firebreak: *shakes his head* no, Little.
Slayer: your kid?
Firebreak: it's someone I've grown up with. I assume you too used to have one.
Slayer: How'd you know?
Firebreak: Simple, you were curious about the doll that reminded me of my sister.
Slayer: I see
Firebreak: She tried to burn me you know, after I saved her life. The last words she said to me sank my heart till I felt nothing, but rage...
Slayer:...
Firebreak: she said to me, "Get away from me! You cause nothing but trouble! I don't want you anymore! Your no longer my brother!"
Slayer: I'm sorry, what happened, why she acted that way?
Firebreak: In due time *put the doll back on his waist* we should get moving, it's getting late.
They continue their walk, with Slayer contemplating on the situation that just occured to her just know. "A little sister wanting to kill her brother? What sort of family this guy is in" she thought to herself while they walk towards the Farm.
Flashback ended
All he could ever think off is that fateful day, when the one person he has grown up with, doesn't want him in her life anymore. He sigh, knowing that there is no possible way for him to go back and reconnect with his sister; it's too late anyways. He then heard a knock on the door. A little girl allowed herself in to check on Firebreak. She then called him out for breakfast, which all she received was, "Give me a minute, please."
. . . . . . . . . .
Firebreak, The Cow girl, Slayer and the Cow girl's uncle were eating breakfast together. The stew that she made was refreshing to say the least, considering that there are 2 people in the room that wear something to obscure their face completely. Afterwards, the 2 adventurers were about to head to town, when Cow Girl needed to deliver some supplies. They agreed and escort the little one to town.
After that escort, the 2 adventurers went inside the Guild for some quest. That's when they were greeted by their lovable and adorable little Priestess. She has brought the chainmail as requested by the 2. Firebreak got his tag and immediately went to work. It was a subjugation quest in which he took most of them, the Porcelain quests which surprised the Receptionist and others.
He started with the sewers below with his Purifier doing all the work while creating a loud roar that can easily be mistaken for a dragon. He burn through all of the rats and bugs below the town as it is now worsen with the smell of smoke and burnt corpses.
Next, he went to the village for a Goblin subjugation quest. He first gets the Goblin's attention before running into the cave. That's when he unleashed a fury of rads upon the helpless Goblins, who died with their bodies burning. The rest was taken care by shots from his M4.
Finally, he got to do another Goblin quest by the river town. Most of the Goblins got burned and shot. A Hob tried to kill Firebreak with it's massive weapon, but was immediately stop with the Pyromaniac shooting its balls and ending the beast with a swift and deadly swing of the axe to the noggin.
He came back to the Guild, obviously smelling like corpses and smoke. He gave out the reports to the Receptionist and she is impressed by the speed that he does it. Firebreak may be Porcelain Rank, but others saw him as a Silver ranked warrior. He then heads to the blacksmith for a request, a rather strange one for the crowd.
He entered the shop and is greeted by the Blacksmith. He walked up to the Blacksmith and ask for a request, "Tell me, can you replicate this", then shows the bullet to the Blacksmith. The Blacksmith is intrigued by the" bullet" as he has never laid eyes on it. "Okay I'll try, but don't get your hopes up, alright", the Blacksmith said and Firebreak just sigh. He exit out the door and head to the main lobby.
He saw all kinds of people with weapons that might seem useful, although the Beserker has the most ineffective weapon, but a devastating one to say the least. After that he checked with kid and was about to go out when the Receptionist called him, "Firebreak!" He turned left and asked her of his need. She said he just got a promotion and very quick. This has impressed a lot of the adventurers inside the hall as this is the quickest anyone has ever done in terms of ranking.
She tells Firebreak to follow her up the stairs and into a room. She asked him to sit down on the couch and let her as well as the other receptionist to examine his reports and his words. Firebreak commented, "This reminds me of my school to say the least", to which both receptionist giggled by that comment. After a few moments, the Receptionist began the examination with Firebreak:.
Receptionist: Okay, so Firebreak or Krystof Hejek?
Firebreak: Call me whatever you like, but I'd prefer Firebreak.
Receptionist: Okay. So it says here that you went with a group, correct?
Firebreak: Wait, hold up! I was never in a group, I was all alone.
Receptionist: Really?
Firebreak: Look, you are talking to someone who has an affinity with Fire, pretty much a maniac if you ask me.
Blue eyes: He's not wrong. The Supreme God has seen this man's life both in the past and now.
Receptionist: That's good. So these reports are false?
Firebreak: If I may, there could be someone that wants me out. Besides, I'm new here, both in this world and now apparently.
Receptionist: Okay, we should probably put every adventurers report in a separate file.
Blue eyes: I think that was the wrong report there.
Receptionist: Really? *Checking papers then stopped* Oh my word, uh sorry for the false info!
Firebreak: That's okay ma'am. Happens to the best of us, you know.
Observer: He is not wrong, we are still human.
Receptionist: Thank you! *Shuffling papers* Okay, so tell me did you actually "hit the Hob in the "balls" and chop the skull with an axe?"
Firebreak: I can show you the blood.
Receptionist: That won't be necessary. *Shuffle some more papers* Okay, it looks like one of the report you've made said that you burned a another Goblin nest, care to explain.
Firebreak: *chuckles* Learned from the best, if you can't take out the nest, more would come and they will be stronger than the last.
Receptionist: And who is this "best", you speak off?
Firebreak: Let me give you a little hint: Goblin slaying quests only.
Receptionist: Oh, Goblin Slayer?
Firebreak: *nods*
Receptionist: oh, I see.
After a few paper shuffling and answer questioning, the Receptionist concluded to Firebreak, "Firebreak, congratulations of becoming Obsidian ranked", he stood up and nods to this. Afterwards he went downstairs to see Goblin Slayer and the Kid.
The Priestess notice his tag change, because when he is Porcelain, it's very noticeable with the White tag contrasting his dark suit. The Priestess congratulate Firebreak on the promotion, he felt please as a need to kill more enemies is what keeps him sane. He asked Slayer, "Any more Goblin quest", she answered, "Just one. Up the mountain there is a fortress that needs to be cleared. I'm guessing you know what your doing", Firebreak replied, "It's my job. If there is a room needed clearing, smoke or torch them." Goblin Slayer then said to Firebreak, "If you want to come, be my guess", Firebreak looks at the girls as they were heading out from the guild. He followed them, thinking it will be fun just to watch enemies burn to the ground.
. . . . . . . . . .
They reached the castle and, as expected, it is overrun by Goblins. The Goblin Slayer shoots flaming arrows into the fortress, the Priestess putting the flaming arrows down for Slayer to pick up. Firebreak, well he went in and burn the goblins till all it's left is burning carcasses. The Goblins saw him and rushed towards him as well as the exit. He didn't care, he just walked out as soon as the Priestess finished her Miracle: O Merciful Earth mother, please protect us the weak with your divine light. PROTECTION!
As soon as Firebreak walked out, a wall of light blocked the smoke and the goblins from exiting the fortress. He walk towards the 2 and acted so casually despite the ruckus that he made inside. "The smoke would suffocate most of the goblins, those who died inside either got burnt or poisoned", Firebreak said as he finally approached the girls. The Priestess felt guilty and prayed, while Slayer and Firebreak have a little chat:
Slayer: I'm guessing this is not the first time for you.
Firebreak: It's what I am, an exterminator, an area denail specialist, any problem, I just burn them.
Slayer: How many were in there?
Firebreak: You could say about 15 I kill with my Reactor core, 5 melted, about 10 shot by my gun and around about 20 that chased me.
Slayer: So 30 you've killed, impressive.
Firebreak: What's the next plan?
Slayer: We'll search for the survivors and kill them.
Firebreak: No witnesses, no survivors? Now, your speaking my language.
Slayer: There is a chance that they made an exit somewhere else. Judging by your tone, you know what your doing.
Firebreak: Yes. *Looking at the Priestess* I don't think there is a point to pray for the dead goblins, they'll be sent to hell anyhow. Plus the only thing I knew about Goblins is the word they associate with is Greed.
Slayer: Correct.
After the fire dissipate by rain water, the group slain and burn the rest of the Goblins that survived. The Goblin Slayer looked at Firebreak and she is a bit worried as he is rather enjoying burning the goblins to ashes. All she can think of is, "Is he really that insane? Maybe it has to do with his upbringing." After that, the three adventurers headed back to the guild to file in a report.
