Hello, I wish you all safe and well. I hope you take the time to answer a couple of my questions.

I know there have been a lot of discussion around finding a job but is there one that is more appropriate for a thirteen year old?

Also, has anyone tried to do the combat quests yet? I want to know are they really as dangerous as they say it looks.

Finally, how do you deal with a familiar constantly likes to play pranks on you?

Thank you.

[For a moment, Ken didn't say anything. While he did want to be treated like a normal teenager, there was a part of him that didn't want to be treated as such.

Should he really be the one to tell him?]

Actually, I've been doing this since I was ten but I was aware of what I gotten myself into. I was technically a solider but I still had time to go to school or play with my friends!

[...Even if said friends are 6 years older than him]

[Ten year olds do not understand what they've gotten themselves into if they're in combat. Jack may be many things, but someone who would condone that kind of thing is not one of them. He's glad this isn't video, because his expression is some mix of horrified and furious.]

The hell does your world need ten year old soldiers for??

[He still sounds kind of horrified and furious, though.]

[whatsamada]

[And here, Ken wondered if he should have said that or not. Based on Jack's voice, he struggled to find the words on what to say next.]

A world where you have to fight creatures only certain people can experience.

[He said in a voice that incident he felt guilty.] If I didn't join, there would be a lot of people who could have gotten hurt and they wouldn't know why.

[There was a little more to it than that but he'll just stick with that for now]

[That is the most fucked up thing he's ever heard. But the kid has a point, he can't exactly complain about making kids fight if kids were literally the only ones who could see something.

Which makes no sense anyway, but a lot of these people's worlds don't seem to operate on logic or sense, so why not that, too? He heaves a sigh.]

Okay. It's terrible, but okay. What was your name again?

[whatsamada]

[Somewhere, Ken really hoped his older teammates would forgive him. He really didn’t intend to give out information without letting them know. They probably wouldn’t mind but he was not looking forward to the day when he might see them here.]

I know but it’ll be okay. [Or at least as much as he can him and this person on the other end]

But my name is Ken Amada. What’s yours?

[theonlyrealthing]

Jack Benjamin. I'm from a world with no magic, but it sounds like yours has some already, so you're kind of familiar with some of this?

[whatsamada]

It's really nice to meet you, Benjamin-san! And yes, I am already familiar with some of this.

[Pause]

Although, I'm use to using dark and light magic myself so I don't really know how to use animal magic. [That and he's so use to being on the front lines. How does he go from offensive to defensive attacks?]

[theonlyrealthing]

That's okay, I didn't either, and here I am. I basically make a living talking to people's animals for them.

[Well, part of his living, anyway. Thankfully his expenses are not that steep so far.]

So show up at the buffet at the hotel tomorrow morning, and I'll take you around, we'll see what all you can do so far, maybe expand your horizons a little. Okay?

[whatsamada]

That sounds good to me, I'll see you then! I can't wait to get started!

[Will this go well? He wasn't sure but whatever may come his way, he needed to be prepared. That and he just wants to go talk to a bunch of animals. How cool would that be?]
