At a nearby town, our wanderer struggles to gain even the slightest entry.. but there is an undecided dispute going on right beside the gate entrance.
Among the two of the people arguing is a scruffy looking swordsman.. his armor, a tint of blue.. arguing like the average drunkard.
And on the other hand.. A mage, carrying a medium sized wooden staff, In a green robe.. his voice calm, but cutting.
Lastly, people, gathered around trying to de-escalate the situation.
Green mage: How can you not understand such a simple concept? you can't just cut down every "threat" every "thing" you see unfit. You have to give them a chance to be reasoned with!
Blue swordsman: Uh. Yes i can? I've seen bastards desperuh.. desperate enough to pull their steel last second! Don't act like it don't happen-yeah?
Green mage: That's the problem with you! You lack humani-
Blue swordsman: Enough. I'm tired of this nonsensical "oh be kinder! oh they can still change!' No. this argument has been going on for the past hour.
Green mage: Excuse me?!
Blue swordsman: Shut that chatterbox of yours, and step a side.
Green mage: Make me.
Blue swordman: ....Fine.
The swordsman raises his sword, and points it toward the mage. and starts chanting.. but its too soft, muffled to make out anything the swordsman is saying.
The mage realizes what's going on and gives off a loud warning.
Green mage: B-BASTARD! HERE IN TOWN?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!
Blue swordsman: Just clearing up my path.
As both of them tense up. the bystanders look concerned.. scared.
One of them steps up and shouts:
Coward! Did you really get beaten by just words alone?
Blue swordsman: H-huh?
Another yelled:
Beaten by just words? Pathetic.
Blue swordsman: Why you.. QUIET! ALL OF YOU!
The irritated swordsman, overwhelmed by all the words, tries to get them to shut up. But forgets about his chant and the spell ends off early.

A light beam comes from out of the sword and..
Misses.
Blue swordsman: ACK!
Green mage: What?!
The beam ricochets around some of the brick-built buildings and barely grazes.. our persons leg.
The gate guards stop arguing at the sight of our persons exposed shin.. and the loud explosion that had occurred from the blast.
grass, dirt, and rubble flying everywhere.
"..Huh?? ..Huh??.. AAGH!"
"S-SHIT IT BURNS! FUUCK"
Leather guard: HUH?!
Both guards notice the quarrel going on behind them.
Leather guard: HEY! YOU TWO! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!
Green mage: Uh oh.
Blue swordsman: GAH! I need to get out here!
The scruffy looking swordsman tries to eye out an opening and makes a run for it.
The leathered guard tries to catch the swordsman, and the mage tries to assist in the chase.
Green mage: I'm terribly sorry for what happened! I'll try to make up for it.. I just need to catch this bastard first!
"FUCK! SOMEONE GET HELP PLEASE!"
He starts clawing at the ground, due to how painful this injury is.
Tall guard: UH-UH I'LL TRY TO FIND A HEALER... JUST STAY PUT!
???: No need.
A strange figure runs toward our injured person, and tries to gauge the gravity of the situation.
"IT HURTS! DO SOMETHING!"
???: Shh, I'm right here don't worry.
???: Lets see.. Ouch.. an abrasion.. and a broken rib?
???: I have very limited Chroma crystal energy left. I'll see what i can do.
And in a matter of seconds, they start chanting.. A green glow can be seen pulsating.. emitting from their hand, green particles flying around, as if charging a force.
???: Tier I, Divine series—Restore.
A soothing green light is released from their hand, and absorbed into the broken muscle fiber, and then, into the broken rib.
The muscle, and skin.. start regenerating.. the rib shifting back into place.
"That.. feels better..."
"Thanks..."
???: Works like a charm! you can open your eyes now.
"S-sure.."
