After that Tarn shared his ability with everyone.
*After a while*
A growl came from Garrie's stomach.
"when are we gonna get some food? my stomach is starting to hurt!"
Harmeet replied
"we can't go without knowing what's in the forest... and it's already getting late. so, i think we should prepare first and go tomorrow morning"
Garrie said
" Aw hell nah, i'm gonna die of hunger by then. Either we go now or i'm going alone"
Harmeet said
"I understand.. i'm hungry too, but we can not risk our life. Atleast i won't.. if wanna go then i won't stop you, but if you die out there then don't blame me. I already warned you"
Garrie was taken a back by Harmeet's coldness. But he wasn't going to wait a single second now.. the hunger was eating him from inside.
'I can't bear it anymore'
Then he turned to others and said
"I'm going to hunt for food, it's up to you to decide if you wanna come with me or not."
Then he turned and started walking towards the school gate. Harmeet looked at him and turned away and entered the school. Others were left standing there, after some hesitation Arman, Karan and Gurnam followed Garrie. Tarn stood there as he didn't have any combat ability, so he couldn't go even if he wanted to...
As Arman and otheres caught up with Garrie, Gurnam asked
"what now?"
Garrie smirked and said
"we just have to find an animal and hunt it"
Karan said
"And how will we do that?"
garrie replied
"I don't know.. but i'm sure we will figure it out as we find it."
He was met with a mix of disappointed and concerned glances.
As they walked through the forest Arman heard a rustling sound from nearby.
"Be Alert" he said.
Then a white paw slowly peeked through the bushes.
There eyes widened, all focusing on what is gonna come out of those bushes.
Then.. a small rabbit jumped out of the bushes and ran away.
....
Garrie exhaled a sigh of relief and disappointment.
'i wish it was something bigger than that, so we can atleast think about eating it'
Then, fulfilling his wish.. a boar walked through the bushes, steam coming out of it's mouth.
'well.. not that big' Garrie thought, with a fearful expression.
Because the boar was as big as a normal sized house.
"RUN!!" Arman yelled while running the opposite direction of the boar, with a desperate expression on his face.
But, not everyone was as fast as him.
Garrie was stunned by the size of the boar and it's demonic aura.
then, the boar lunged towards Garrie, a second late to react garrie got pinned to a big tree behind him.
The pressure of the giant curved horns of the boar, was crushing garrie.
Blood came out of Garrie's mouth, his innards were a message and damaged.
Witnessing this guram shot a fireball at the boar, although because of the hard skin of the boar, nothing happened to it... But it did irritate it even more as he increased the pressure on Garrie.
With more blood coming out of Garrie's mouth, his bones broken and not being able to breathe, Garrie was on the verge of fainting and eventually dying. Then as a last course of retaliation Garrie's summoned moon and used it's power through his own body.
His hair turned white and eyes turned crystal blue.. as if fusing with moon. His whole body except his head and fingers got covered in thin crystalised ice. He shouted
"ICE SPEAR!"
Then a giant ice shard formed in the air and shot towards the boar. The boar jumped back dodging the attack, but the spear still pierced through it's leg destroying the leg.
With a faint smile.. Garrie collapsed.
He then got covered in a thick layer of ice freezing inside it.
The boar was still moving..
Witnessing all of this Arman yelled
"Don't let it all go to waste! Attack!!"
Then lunged towards the boar... The boar kicked him and sent him flying.
Then it locked it's blood red eyes towards Gurnam. It's leg healing as it stood back up with rage in it's eyes.
Watching this Gurnam ran.. but he wasn't faster than the boar as it's horns reached Gurnam...
But coming in clutch, karan teleprted and struck against Gurnam, both of the sent flying out of the board way.
The boar, unable to stop struck into a tree, where as Gurnam and karan had a somewhat soft landing on snow.
The boar was still concious.. and full of rage.
Then it stood back up and turned it's head towards Gurnam and karan.
As a retaliation Gurnam shot a barrage of fireballs on the boar, as expected the weren't doing anything much, except for slowing it down a little bit and blocking it's vision.
But it wasn't enough.
The boar then almost reached them again, but this time.. they were prepared for it. They both then teleported again in the smoke, Gurnam was able to teleport with karan because he was sitting on karans back. And this time karan landed on feet.. but sideways on a tree.
Gurnam was still firing the fireballs at the boar, which was now getting confused. All while they were continuously teleporting.
Then, Gurnam noticed something, he could shoot fireballs from a much farther range,
'what if..' then he stopped his barrage of fireballs and focused.
Karan spoke,
"What happened?"
Then Gurnam replied,
"See for yourself"
Then as the smoke cleared, the boar was laying down with it's eyes missing from there sockets and a pool of blood flowing from the eye sockets and ears of it... The boar was dead.
Then Gurnam's system spoke in a cold voice.
[Congratulations!]
You have acquired a new skill!
[Explosion!]
[Skill description: you can summon an explosion on or in a target's body, but it can only be used once a day and burnes a lot of stamina]
Gurnam smiled faintly and then collapsed of exhaustion.
Meanwhile at the school,
Harmeet and Tarn were doing something productive.. they were seperating the wood from the iron in the benches. Collecting wood to make a fireplace that was almost completed. Then they saw a giant shadow from afar, it was moving towards the school from the woods.
They both subconsciously assumed a fighting position. But then they saw.. Arman and karan were pulling a giant dead boar, the size of a house, towards the school and as they came closer Harmeet and Taran saw Gurnam and Garrie, who was still Frozen in a thick layer of ice, laying on the boar.
Harmeet and Tarn said in sync
"Damn"
