My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

After the meeting was over, Jake received a message from Alex asking for him to come over to the roof for it was important. Jake decided to head over there and he could see Alex waiting for him.

"I wanted to ask you if you would love a fancy new adventure?" Alex asked with a smile on his face.

"Adventure?" Jake asked with a raised brow. "What adventure and to where?"

"Adventure underground." Alex replied. "Alright, let me explain better."

"When I first came to this academy, we were earlier introduced to a cave behind the academy where we were told dangerous and powerful beasts lay. I know you won't know about it because they decided against telling the later recruits." Alex said.

"Why?" Jake asked.

"Because there was a certain person in our time that decided to go to the cave to investigate whether the academy were lying or not." Alex explained.

"And what did he find?" Jake asked.

"We don't know. After the academy found out, they sent out a search party to look for him and according to the academy, he wasn't found." Alex said.

"So he was dead?" Jake asked.

"Probably. But we don't know the full story. That's why I propose we go there to investigate."

"Investigate a person's murder that happened two years ago?" Jake asked.

"No silly, I smell a rat concerning what happened and that's why I said we should go and investigate. You and I are plenty strong and if you want to invite more people that you know are strong, it would be nice." Alex said.

"I feel like the academy are hiding something. Even though the guy was killed, his body would have been found but the academy said there was nothing. And think of this, if truly there are beasts there, we can kill them and use the crystals to forge equipment."

'What Alex Is saying, is making some sense. I also want to hunt more powerful beasts maybe I might be able to finally level up. But what am more concerned about is what Alex said.' Jake thought.

'Did they really not find the student or his body or is the academy trying to hide something. This must have been going on for far too long now. I need to find out more.'

"Alright, let's do it. But I will like to invite Peter and Geo along. It will really be great to have their strength just in case we encountered something more powerful than we can handle." Jake said.

"That's wonderful. I will go and inform Geo then we can go now." Alex said.

"No, not today. On Monday we will go. We will be free from classes on Monday and with Paul and Wilfred's help, we can make this work. Reason I said Monday is so we can prepare ourselves better." Jake said.

"Alright, nice plan." Alex said.

"So, see you tomorrow. Let's meet here tomorrow along with Geo and Peter so we can plan better." Jake said as he finally decided to leave the roof.

Jake left the roof to head back to his dorm to rest for the day. Entering in, Jake could see Sophia and Jack having a conversation.

"Hey Jake, where have you been?" Jack asked.

"I went to go get my equipment from the blacksmith." Jake said.

"Wow! I'm sure it's nice, can I see it?" Sophia asked.

"Sure." Jake said as he activated his inventory to equip the armour.

'I haven't have the time to try it on.' Jake thought as his armour was now materializing on his body.

The armour was snug on Jake's body as it was a perfect fit.

"Nice. This is cool." Jack said as he stood and grazed his hands on the armour.

"From the Earth shaker beast crystal right?" Jack asked.

"Yeah." Jake responded.

"Cool, I'm getting my own tomorrow." Sophia said.

"Great." Jake said as he de-equipped his armour.

"So any idea where Peter and Kate are?"

Jack just shrugged so did Sophia.

"No idea." Sophia said and that was when the door to their room opened up and a silver haired beauty walked in.

"Hi Cindy." Sophia greeted.

Cindy smiled back and looked at Jake.

"You know you haven't given me a response right?" Cindy said.

"Response of what?" Jake asked searching through his memory bank of any question asked by Cindy.

"I asked you to go on a date with me and you haven't given me a response yet." Cindy said.

Jake now remembered and he was now going through options of what he could say to Cindy to get her off his back.

"Just accept. Look at her, she's pretty and you would make a good match." Zee taunted.

'Shut up. You said the same thing about Kate and now, you are changing your mind.' Jake thought.

"Not my fault that you didn't take my advice. If you had asked Kate out, no girl would have decided to ask you out on a date." Zee said.

'Just shut up, if you are not gonna help, then I need someone that can help.' Jake thought.

Seeing Jake take so long to answer, Cindy just sighed. Explore stories at empire

"I guess you don't feel the same way." Cindy said as she went to sit and that was when something clicked in Jake's head.

"Sophia, Jack, I have a question to ask." Jake said.

"What is it?" Sophia asked.

"You guys are so knowledgeable about the world's current status and everything so I wanted to ask a question on that." Jake said.

"Shoot." Jack said.

"How many independent Guilds are there and how strong do you think they are?"

"It's quite simple." Sophia said. "We have five independent Guilds."

"The fifth one in strength, is the Raven's wing." Jack said.

'Raven's wing, that is Helen's dad guild.' Jake thought.

"All the independent Guild's, are said to have power enough to rival the big three if they worked together but they couldn't do that, instead they are trying to one up each other." Sophia explained.

"Exactly." Jack said. "All the independent Guild's have a leader whose strength is at least the double A rank in the adventurer's ranking."

Jake remembered the ranking system of the adventurers and hearing that each guild leader had a double A rank, is truly terrifying and Jake couldn't help but be worried if he could help Helen.

"What about the others?" Jake asked.

"Next on our list, is the Vipers nest. They are the fourth on the list and they have incredible power." Jack said.

"Then we have the Iron Fist Guild; the guild you encountered trouble with their members earlier." Sophia said looking at Jake.

Of course, how could Jake forget them? After all, they were the ones giving Helen trouble and they were the ones he promised to take care of.

"The Iron fist Guild are very notorious trouble makers and they are incredibly strong." Sophia continued.

"Next on our list is the Thunderbolt clan. This guild, are quite small in number, I mean they have a small amount of members and that's what makes them so dangerous."

"How so?" Cindy who was interested in what was being said asked.

"Each of their members are all A rank adventurers with their leader being an AA rank adventurer. You can see why they are dangerous, the other guilds have mixture of ranks but the Thunderbolt all have A rank adventurers." Sophia explained.

"Now, that brings us to the last but the strongest independent Guild. The Phoenix guild; they are the strongest independent Guild but they aren't proud about that rather they are quite meek." Jack said.

"But when angered, they aren't shy of bringing destruction upon their enemies so you should make sure you stay clear of them. And then just above them, we have the big three."

Listening to the explanations, Jake was now deep in thought about everything.

"Thank you guys for explaining." Jake said as he suddenly walked out of the room.

"What is wrong with him?" Sophia asked.

"Who knows." Jack shrugged.

Exiting the room, Jake had one thought on his mind.

'Our guild needs to get strong soon if these are the level of opponents we are going to face soon before we get to the big three.' Jake thought.
