The red glove was one of the three cursed artifacts that Keith managed to get from Lady Grace's mansion. It allowed the user to shoot out flas through the glove or cover the glove with flas, but in return, it burned the hands of the user.
Keith sent out the pros and cons of the cursed artifact to Vincent, but the guy was too busy staring at the item in awe.
Seeing this, Keith had a feeling that Vincent would do sothing dumb, so he decided to sent out more instructions.
[System Administrator: Do not use this item unless absolutely necessary until your Red Hot Fists get to Grade S. Even then, you should use it sparingly. But as long as you manage to bring that skill to SSS grade, then you'll be able to negate almost all of the effects of the curse.]
"No problem! Love you system administrator!"
[System Administrator: I'm a guy.]
"It's fine, I still love you!"
Keith shook his head with a wry smile and sat up before looking around him. It didn't take much for him to know that he was the only one left inside.
From the outside, he heard familiar voices but along with that, there were also a few unfamiliar ones. Curious, he walked out of the tent and saw three new people crouching on the ground as they tried to use the magnifying glass on a thick piece of wood.
"What are you guys doing?" he asked as he walked towards Brandon and Alia who had the second magnifying glass and were trying to do the sa thing.
"We're figuring out how to use this damn thing..." Brandon said as his gaze was focused on the tiny dot in the wood. Keith shook his head and looked at the three new guys.
He inched closer to Alia and whispered, "Who are these guys?"
"Trainee Inquisitors... regular inquisitors are higher ranked than both Brandon and regular detectives like us, but trainees are ranked on par with normal detectives. They'll be joining our team, apparently."
Hearing this, Keith nodded and clapped loudly to gain their attention, "I was the one the brought that thing, so let show you guys how to use is."
He then grabbed the one that Brandon was holding and looked at Alia, "I need a knife."
With a slight nod, she took out a knife that was strapped to her belt and gave it to Keith who used it to scrape out so wood shavings.
As he did his work, he asked, "Where is Senior Clara by the way?"
"She went to buy us so ingredients for cooking." Brandon said as he frowned. He paused for a second and then asked, "You two made up?"
"Yeah, thanks to Alia. We'll be maintaining a professional relationship from now on and keep out personal grievances on the side." he said as he stopped scraping the wood and began to pile up all the wood shavings.
Brandon smiled as he nodded, "That's great! Now I don't have to worry about you guys getting into a serious fight during the training camp."
Keith said nothing at looked at the three trainee inquisitors before glancing at Brandon and Alia.
"Okay so here's the thing guys, firstly, you need so tinder. Sothing small that can easily catch fire. Wood shavings work, but there are better alternatives that we can find while in a forest.
Now, once you grab so tinder, you must clump it together and then adjust the distance of the magnifying glass until you see one small point of light converging onto the pile of tinder.
After that, all you gotta do is to wait for a minute or two and you'll have your fire ready." he said and waited for a minute.
Just like he said, the tinder started to smoke and then it quickly caught fire. The fire was small, but it was enough for Keith as he began to pile up small twigs onto it and increased the side of the sticks until he got to the regular sized fire wood.
"Welp, there you go." he said as he gave the magnifying glass back to Brandon before getting back up onto his feet, "I want to take a bath... do you guys know a place that I could go to?"
One of the three inquisitors raised his hands, "I know one. There's a public hot water bath a few streets from here."
Keith nodded as he looked at the three of them. There were two guys and one girl. Based on just their looks, he couldn't really say much but all of them looked fit.
"That's great. Why don't you guys join and we can get to know each other along the way?"
"Ew, what a pervert! You're asking a lady to join you in the bath?" Alia quipped in with a smirk on her face.
Keith looked at her, "I said along the way, you dirty minded wench!" he said as he smacked her head lightly, to which she retaliated with her own smack.
Based on his past experiences, he could say that it was a playful smack so he didn't bother hitting her again and instead, he just shifted his attention back to the three inquisitors who were trying their best not to laugh.
"So, what do you guys say?"
"Sure." the girl said first as she stretched her hand out and Keith shook it, "I'm Keith by the way, Keith Zenister."
"My na is Laura. I don't have a surna since I've been an orphan from birth. I'm an awakened obviously, and I can transform into a yellow Python."
Keith nodded and looked at the other two.
"I'm Caleb and I grew up in the sa orphanage as Laura. I can control the winds."
"I'm the sa as these two and co from the sa orphanage. You can call Nathan and uh... my awakened ability is the summoning of a Holy Knight's armor. When I'm within this armor, my strength, speed, stamina and defense are all enhanced by a lot."
