Chapter 11- An Overwhelming Encounter

The next day, I wake immediately, when Shu threw a pillow at me. I check the time and, I realize I had overslept! We had decided to go shopping today, but we started out late because of me.

First, we went searching for a house. Clasender town is a really huge town, because it's mainly a spawn point for beginners, so there were a lot houses to buy. Also, we had a lot of coins, we earned by clearing numerous quests, in which Sarah had contributed to the maximum. Not to mention she was awake the whole first night clearing quests and drinking coffee!

The house we bought, was in the outskirts of the town, on the banks of a lake. It had three bedrooms, a kitchen, hall, backyard and all the basic rooms a usual house would need.

After that, we decided to go shopping for furniture, food and other basic necessities. It took a while for the whole team to decide what to buy and what not, but it was fun. The girls, especially amber had dominated the whole team, while taking important decisions.

In the end, we bought furniture quite simple and cheap, approved by the whole team. The rest of the day, we spent by roaming around the town, visiting random shops. Most of the time, the girls went over to a clothes shop and made us wait for more than an hour!

Yet, I felt the team more lively and cheerful than ever before. We chatted a lot, but I hadn't told them what happened the previous night. I decided to keep it to myself.

Most of the time we just picked out random topics. The most funniest ones were especially when Shu suddenly asked Matthew, "You've got a girlfriend?"

"Wait what?! Where did that come from!", Matthew shouts back as he gets flustered.

Sarah looked all worked up suddenly. I could feel a tensed and boiling atmosphere just by looking at her!

"Well no! Quite a number of girls have proposed me before, especially because I'm the school vice president as well as a top player in table tennis, but I rejected them all.", He says, looking away.

"But why?", Anderson asks.

"Cause I'm not particularly interested in those love stuff. I never understood them actually", Matthew says, annoyed.

"Yup, you are really very dense, brother", amber sighs as she says.

For a moment I thought Sarah got relaxed a bit, but she stiffened up again when he said he's not interested in love. Anderson chuckles.

The team look really lively. But then, suddenly the atmosphere thickened. For a moment, I felt whole crowd became quite, and started to look at us. Then, I realized it wasn't us but it was someone behind us. Someone, who's overwhelming presence could be felt not only me, but the whole crowd. As it grew stronger, I felt being pushed aside in thin air, as a team walked past us.

Their presence had shook not only me, but also my team and the rest of the crowd. In the lead, was a women, with green hair, wearing red cloaks with a symbol of a red dragon, and carrying a long mighty sword which made herself look like a queen. She looks at us inferiorly as we move aside. Not only her, but her whole team creeped us all out. After that, we just went back home.

Anderson dug out some information about the team, and we decided to hold a team meeting, that evening. It was silent at first, until Shu broke out first.

"Damn, that team looked strong!", Shu exclaims.

"Yup, for a moment I thought our team is completely useless compared to them!", Amber shouts annoyed.

"Oh come on sis! Don't be such a pecimist!. If we work together, we can definitely get stronger than them.", Matthew says confidently. Even though Matthew appeared confident, yet I could see his hands trembling.

Anderson draws out few papers from his inventory as he speaks, "Well, it's definitely gonna be a problem if we don't improve, as they would steal away all the quests. So that doesn't happen, it's better to know their strengths."

"So, any idea how strong are they?", I ask desperately.

"Yup! Ive got them in these papers", Anderson replies.

Then he starts reading aloud, "Their team, they call themselves the red dragons. They wear bright red cloaks, with their heads held high, as mighty as a dragon. There are rumours that they are the ones who cleared more than half of the town. And their levels and skills, are far above than ours."

"Do you have any idea about their players?", Matthew asks, curiously.

"Well, Im not sure if I've got the complete details about all their players, but I know this. The leader, Ashley is one of the most finest swordsman in any fantasy game. The weapon she uses is the "light blade". The only and the strongest sword you would ever find in any fantasy game until now."

Matthew stands up and says astonished, "Wait a minute! Do I know her?"

"What makes you think that?", Amber asks.

He removes his sword. The very same fine black metal sword with a firm grip.

Then he starts speaking, "There wasn't just one sword, but two. The swords were considered to be a legend, crafted from the scales of the two legendary dragons, grimor , the ruler of the dark, and luminor, the ruler of the light. Each of the two finalists of the legend duels tournament recieved a sword. "

"So you say, you battled her?" Shu asks.

"Yes, it has been three years, so I can't quite recall it, but I did battle her. Believe me or not, but she's the finest swordsman you would ever find.", Matthew replies.

He draws back his sword.

"The next is Jovi..", Anderson speaks again.

"The strongest minigun user you could find in any FPS game", Shu interrupts him.

"You know him?", I ask

"Yup, he's very famous for using heavy submissive guns. His best shot, is his minigun. If anyone gets in his range, consider its game over for them.", Shu answers.

"But thats so harsh!", amber shouts.

Anderson then says, "Okay, let's move on to the next player. This ones name is Preston, the top bazooka user you would ever find in any FPS game!"

"Yeah, he creeps me out sometimes. He's known for hiding on rooftops. And Before you know it, your whole team would be dead.", Shu interrupts once more.

"Yup, that sounds very creepy!", I shouts.

"Well, that's all information I have about their team. The rest three members, everything about them is unknown.", Anderson says as he puts back his papers and sits.

"Why is their team so strong!", Amber shouts, annoyed. Sarah looked tensed too.

"Wow, their team does give me the chills. But now, we just have to get twice as strong as them!", Matthew springs up and shouts cheerfully.

"Brother, why are you always so cheerful.", Amber sighs.

"By the way, we haven't decided our team name, have we?", Sarah asks.
"Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that.", Matthew says as he puts his finger under his chin in a thoughtful look.

"Umm what about 'the Black knights'?", I raise my hand as I suggest.

"Well, that sounds catchy and interesting!", Anderson says.

"Okay then, from now on we are the Black Knights!", Matthew says with a grin.

"Cool! How did you come up with that so fast?", Amber says amazed.

"I just gave it a guess though", I laugh as I say. Following me, others laugh as well.

"Then tonight let's hold a party everyone!", Shu says as he gets all fired up.

"Okay, Cheers for the Black Knights!", everyone shouts enthusiastically.
