Not far from where the Ganker\u2019s trap was laid, a small pile of stolen equipment sat in a room with four Champions.\u00a0 Two Champions, a male and a female, checked the equipment for any upgrades they could steal.\u00a0 Another pair, the leader and his right hand lady studied a holographic image.\u00a0 The team had used it to keep track of a fearsome quarry.\u00a0 However, the trail was a continuous puzzle.<\/p>\n
Shinsaku Yu sat at the desk in what was now his warrior\u2019s garb, the most powerful armor picked from the stolen gear.\u00a0 He was rather tall for a Crisho and not all of the pieces fit.\u00a0 His gold skin peeked from beneath the helmet while a red patch of skin escaped for his right glove.\u00a0 The armor didn\u2019t look right on him, but it could easily be refitted.<\/p>\n
The Champion they tracked had stood out as a tournament hopeful from the moment she stepped off the shuttle.\u00a0 She looked utterly fearsome especially with that maul.\u00a0 If anyone in\u00a0RedBatty was going to win, this warrior could not be allowed to fight in the tournament.<\/p>\n
“Now she’s going into the Casting Talent School,” Shinsaku stated while pointing at the miniature image on his desk.<\/p>\n
It was a comment of utter confusion.\u00a0 His companion Ione Zhang had watched the same image for the last hour.\u00a0 She knew everything the mysterious warrior had done.\u00a0 Their cloaked tracking droid had followed the target since she walked away from their alley.<\/p>\n
Ione watched the image of the warrior entering the Caster Talent School.\u00a0 Her orange skin and thin mahogany stripes shown through her tattered disguise.\u00a0 \u201cHow do you know it\u2019s a she<\/em>?\u00a0 He seemed quite strong to me.\u201d<\/p>\n Shinsaku couldn\u2019t help but glance at Ione.\u00a0 She was an essential member of RedBatty, but she questioned just about everything he said.\u00a0 Sometimes he wondered if he was really the leader of this team, \u201cThe warrior\u2019s armor, particularly the belt, suggests a torso to leg ratio fitting that of a female.\u201d<\/p>\n Whatever, smarty-pants\u2026<\/em> Ione couldn\u2019t help but roll her eyes listening to Shinsaku\u2019s intellectual dribble.\u00a0 “Fine whatever, why is she going there,” Ione asked resigning to his logic.\u00a0 She snapped her fingers with the dawn of inspiration, “She\u2019s an enchanter.”<\/p>\n Ione had charmed the fearsome looking warrior just as they planned.\u00a0 She guided the warrior directly towards the trap but it took a great deal of strength to get her moving.\u00a0 If this was truly a lady, powerful strength enchants must be in play.<\/p>\n Shinsaku had pegged her for a Combatant Talent user.\u00a0 That was the only explanation he could find for that heavy destructive weapon.\u00a0 It was big enough to wreck someone with a single hit, the focus of the Combatant Talent Set.\u00a0 But now she went into the Caster school?<\/p>\n “She has to be an enchantress,” Shinsaku was confident in that statement.\u00a0 Enchanting skills were usually taught in the Casting Schools so that explained things well enough.\u00a0 Ione was the most powerful enchantress he knew but this warrior shook off her charms.\u00a0 That was only possible if this fighter had powerful enchants of her own.<\/p>\n While someone could be a Combatant and a Caster, there were only a few moves in the two sets that worked well together.\u00a0 The other moves took too long to channel or were too weak to make a difference.\u00a0 She had to be walking from school to school for a reason.<\/p>\n \u201cFine.\u00a0 So, how are we going to get her,\u201d Ione looked to Shinsaku.<\/p>\n Shinsaku had no immediate answer.\u00a0 After a little though he spoke, \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d \u00a0He stood and turned away from the image, \u201cKeep watching her.\u00a0 I\u2019ll review the tapes for clues.\u00a0 I could have sworn she was talking to herself earlier.\u201d<\/p>\n #1<\/a> \u2013 Opportunity #28<\/a>\u00a0– Opportunity #30<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Not far from where the Ganker\u2019s trap was laid, a small pile of stolen equipment sat in a room with four Champions.\u00a0 Two Champions, a male and a female, checked the equipment for any upgrades they could steal.\u00a0 Another pair, the leader and his right hand lady studied a holographic image.\u00a0 The team had used […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[48,127,3,132,83,44,131,134,130,20,170],"class_list":["post-651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-brisa-gan","tag-caster-talent-set","tag-champions-of-battle","tag-combatant-talent-set","tag-enchanting-skill","tag-gankers","tag-ione-zhang","tag-redbatty","tag-shinsaku-yu","tag-the-very-best","tag-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonsofsword.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonsofsword.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonsofsword.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonsofsword.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonsofsword.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=651"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/sonsofsword.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":684,"href":"https:\/\/sonsofsword.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651\/revisions\/684"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonsofsword.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonsofsword.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonsofsword.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
