The Locked System

Maya makes a pout and says " What happened? why did you stay behind? "

Hayato sees her with a smile and says carelessly " I talked with a friend "

Maya understands what Hayato meant, but Alyra asked with doubt as she sees behind Hayato " A friend? there is someone there? "

" He is just playing with us " Maya made an angered face

" That"s right, now let"s back " Hayato smiled and he touched Maya and Alyra shoulders and they teleported back to the boat

Alyra makes a happy smile and says " Thank you Hayato, now that I become an Amateur Super Magic Swordsman, I almost recovered all the power that my sister stole from me "

" That"s great, I suppose that it won"t take you so much time to recover all of it " Hayato makes a grin

" I hope so " Alyra said shyly

" Hey! let"s go to eat something " Maya interrupts them

After that, they went with Dye and Wade to eat something, the next four days Hayato repeated his routine, he teleports back to the Human Continent to hunt some monsters and take their Cores, he now has, 20 small size Monster Cores, 30 medium size Monster Cores, and 1 big size Monster Core, he now has 172,850 System Points

They finally arrived at the Monster Continent, they can see the docks from the boat, the port city looks exactly like the port city of Kamira, but the difference lays in all the coast, the port city is surrounded by a big desert, the named of port city is Amyster, Hayato asked the name of the city to the captain of the boat. When they left the boat Dye was the first one to talk

" It"s so hot here and with all these people is worse " Dye said when she was trying to take off her Akatsuki robe

" Why we didn"t feel this heat in the boat? " Hayato asked with curiosity

" The boat had a magic protection against the weather, that"s why we feel it till now " Wade said with a sweating face

" Alright let"s take out our robes, give it to me later, with this kind of temperature wear black clothes is a bad idea " Hayato said calmly and he removes his Akatsuki, robes leaving only his clothes from the movie Road to Ninja, then he receives the robes of Wade Dye and Maya and stores them in his inventory

" This heat is normal for a desert, no? " Maya frowns as she puts her hand a little bit above her head covering her face from the intense sun

Wade smiles wryly and says " I don"t know, I never been here before "

" Me neither " Alyra said calmly doing the same as Maya to protect her face

Dye makes a smile and says" Then what we do now? "

Hayato makes a little grin and says " The first thing we need to do is sell this monster cores that I have, next we can use the money to buy a map or something useful "

Alyra makes a face of doubt " Okay, but where we can sell them? "

Maya makes a happy smile and says " Let"s go to ask the people on the street "

Hayato and the others began to approach the people on the street until Maya was the first one to obtain the information they needed

" Hey! over here! " Maya rises her hand and yells making Hayato, Wade, Dye, and Alyra approach her

" What? Do you know where we can sell them? " Hayato makes a grin

" Yes, there is a shop in the outside of this city, let"s go there " Maya responds with a smile

They went to the outside of the city and then Maya said with surprise

" Hayato! look! look! " Maya pulls Hayato"s sleeve with excitement as she points to a direction

" What? " Hayato turns to see at the direction where Maya was pointing and he sees a girl with tail and ears of a cat

" It"s that a cat girl? is the first time I saw one " Hayato said with surprise

" The race of beast-men are all over this Continent, so is normal to see them around, they are better fighters than humans too, also this place had different categories that the Human Continent, " Wade said calmly

" For example? " Hayato makes a curious face

Wade smiles a little and says " Oh, well, I only know four, the Reinforcer, the Necromancer, the Beast Tamer and the Magic Archer "

" Those four sound good, but if I remember correctly we fought a Reinforcer when we attacked the Brywood family " Hayato grins a little

Wade smiles as he nods " Yes, he had some strange techniques that helped their partners a lot, we need to investigate those three categories more "

" Wait, you said before Magic Archer? what"s that? is not the same as the archers that I saw in the castle before? " Maya said with doubt

" No, it"s a category that applies only to the Elven race, is the same as Beast Tamer that only applies to the Beast-men, it seems that they are specialized in those " Wade said calmly

Maya smiles a little " The Elven race one of the guardian races, that explains why they can use that but I never read about the Beast-men, so I didn"t know that "

After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the shop, in the entrance, says Alchemist, Hayato, and his group entered the shop and there they were received by an Old man with long white beard and brown skin

" How can I help you " The old man spoke with a hoa.r.s.e voice

" h.e.l.lo, we want to sell this Monster Cores " Hayato made a smile as he puts the Monster Cores in front of the Old man

" Let"s see... " The Old man grabbed the Monster Cores and he began to inspect them one by one after he finished he turned to see Hayato " This Monster Cores are from the Human Continent, no? " The Old man spoke with a calm voice

" Yes, why did you ask? " Hayato made a face of doubt

" Here, these Monster Cores don"t worth so much thanks to her low energy, but I can give you 40 Copper coins for this 20 small Monster Cores, 4 silver Coins for this 30 medium size Monster Cores, and 5 silver coins for this Big size Monster Core, the prices vary because they are from different monsters " The Old man said calmly

" I see… " Hayato responded with disappointment

" Are you sure you still want to sell them, young man? " The Old man asked with a soft voice

" Yes please " Hayato smiled again and he received 9 silver coins and 40 copper coins

" Well, thanks for coming " The Old man smiled

" Oh! sir, one last thing you know where we can find an Adventurers Guild? " Hayato made a face of doubt

" Yes, you will found one on the Shakhtar Kingdom, is at the northeast from this city " The Old man said calmly

" Thank you, you have a map that can you sell us? " Hayato asked with a smile

" Yes… " The Old man searches on a shelf behind him and he grabs a rolled map to the give it to Hayato " Here it is, it will be 1 Copper Coin "

" Here you go, thanks sir " Hayato pays for the map and they left the store after that Hayato opens the map and he was really impressed

" The Monster Continent is huge, there are 8 kingdoms here and a lot of small cities, at least 20, well, let"s focus first in the Shakhtar Kingdom, it seems that we need to make a scale in the Shokan city, I hope we have enough money to arrive there "

" So, Hayato, where are we going? " Alyra asked with a smile

" We have to go to the Shokan city first, it will take us 2 days to arrive there " Hayato said with a smile

" Ok! let"s go! " Dye screams happily and she began to walk

Alyra grabs Dye by the shoulders stopping her " Hey! maybe we can find a transport "

" A transport? " Dye makes a face of doubt

" But where we can find one? " Hayato asked with curiosity

" Hayato look there, that huge advertis.e.m.e.nt, it says fast transport " Maya said with a smile as she points were a pair of Beast-men are sitting relaxing, they have a dog"s tail and ears

" Okay, let"s ask them " Hayato nods and they went towards the beast-men, Maya was the first one to speak

" h.e.l.lo, we can ask for a transport " Maya said with a smile

" Of course beautiful lady, but our service only arrives at the Shokan city " The dogman responds with a happy face

" That"s perfect, my friends and I want to go there " Maya made a wide smile

" Okay, you are five, so it will be 2 silver coins for the trip " The dogman said with a smile

" Okay, Hayato can you give the money? " Maya turns to see Hayato and he gives her 2 silver coins

" Thanks…. now, come to me, Heat Millipede! " The dogman raised his hand and yelled and after a few seconds, the ground began to open and a Millipede around 20 meters long and 3 meters tall come out from the sand

The dogman turns to see his partner and says " Klein, put him the belt "

" Ok " The other dogman jumps above millipede and the puts a cloth tent above him. He a.s.sures the tent in the millipede with some ropes and steel bars

The dogman puts a wooden ladder besides millipede and says with a smile " Now get in the tent " Hayato, Maya, Dye, Alyra, and Wade go up to the tent in the huge Millipede

" Now let"s go! " One of the dogmen yelled and the millipede began to run in a very high speed surprising Hayato and the others

" At this speed, we will arrive in less than half a day! " Hayato said with a surprised voice

" Yes, this is amazing! " Alyra said happily

After a few hours, the millipede finally stops

" We arrived customers! " the dogman yelled

" Finally! my back hurts " Dye said with a pout

Hayato and the others get down from the millipede and they thanked the dogman, then they began to walk to the Shokan city

" Look, it looks like the desert ended at some point before we arrived here, now we are in a forest " Alyra made a curious face

" Thank G.o.d, that heat was so annoying " Dye said with satisfaction

" Haha, let"s go, the Beast Tamer said that the city was pa.s.sing the forest " Maya made a happy smile

They walked for a few minutes when they finally saw the end of the forest and the gates of the city, it looks like the Lyrel kingdom from the outside with a concrete wall surrounding the city, when they arrive at the entrance they heard some people yelling with excitement

" The inscriptions for the tournament are about to start! the ones who wanted to partic.i.p.ate please make a line! " The yell of a young man could be heard from the entrance of the city

" Tournament! " Hayato, Maya, Wade, and Alyra yelled with doubt and they approached the entrance
