Chapter 16: Entering the Crack
Jason was a little confused at Wesley's sudden request. "Why would you want me to train you?"
This man was a little strange but he clearly had some form of strength to collect 95 SS when the top leader of the world had at best collected 70.
"Well sir you are very strong I can clearly and even though I have collected the Shadow Stone it was mostly due to luck, I was out in the ocean when two cracks appeared and two War Axe Monster came out and started to fight each other. I thought it would be easy exp if I just hit them once and they killed each other so that's what I did." Wesley explained.
"If what you're saying is true then things are worse then I thought," Jason told him.
"So will you take me on as your student then?" Wesley asked hopefully.
Jason sat and ponder this for a moment, on one hand, Jason knew that he would need all the help he could get to fight against invasion Selnyx spoke of but on the other, who was he to train a student. "Well at least tell me your weapon of choice." He asked.
Jason decided that he would have to tale a chance but if Wesley used something he was unfamiliar with he could only be of so much use.
"Oh yeah, sure I actually can make any weapon I want out of earth then set it aflame." Wesley said. "But right now I can only make simple weapons like daggers and swords, but the one I like to use the most right now is an ax, though I would prefer a gun more than anything."
Jason was surprised he had never heard of people using earth to make there own weapons before but it made a lot of sense to do so.
"Well, I use a pair of daggers so I don't know if I can help you very much if you use an ax but I could help you understand how to use your body a little better and a better understanding of your enemies," Jason told him.
"Thank you very much, master- uhh sorry what's your name?"
Wesley asked. "Jason." Jason gave his phone number to Wesley then left.
"I wonder what kinda training I'll go through with someone as strong as him as my teacher, I bet it will be really tough."
As Wesley daydreamed of getting strong Jason decided he would check out the Crack to see if he truly could enter into one. Insufficient Shadow Shards, Access restricted, Dark Human required.
"That's different it never said any of this before but it says Dark Human, not Shadow does that mean I need the 200 to enter the Crack, hmmm well if this is a Sword class maybe I can enter a Dagger class." Jason went to see if he could find a Dagger class Crack to enter. While he was going to wait until he found the other three heroes to enter a Crack he was very curious if diffrent Crack levels took different forms of humans.
*********************************************
As Jason was looking for a Dagger class Crack Amanda entered the building she had previously left.
"There better be a good reason for you to call all of us this late lady," Riggs said.
"Indeed Miss Green what reason did you call us all together at such a late hour?" Tyler asked.
"I met with Shadow not long ago," Amanda told them.
"WHAT! What did he say." Riggs asked.
"He wanted me to look out for people claiming to be one of the four heroes." She explained, "but that's not all he confirmed that he had indeed collected all 100 SS."
She let this sink in for a bit.
"What does he mean one of the four heroes?" Shyann asked.
"I assumed it is something he is working on because the way he made it seem that he was one of the four but as for what he needs them for or why he needs them bad enough to contact a Guild leader means whatever it is, it's important.
"Tyler leaned back in his chair before saying, "True he would never reach out to any of us if it was not something of extreme importance, and with the timing, it would make sense that it has to do with the increase of Cracks, but the question is what do these four heroes have to do with the increase in Crack and Shadow?"
Amanda looked at everyone saying, "He left me a way to contact him but if I do so before any information on these so-called heroes he may get annoyed and leave us in the dark once again."

While the Guild Leaders tried to figure out what Jason had told Amanda, he had found an open Dagger level Crack.
"Here goes nothing," he said as he toughed the Crack. Shadow Human recognized Access Granted.
