Study!

They soon reached Taki's Manor according to her this is just a Manor where she is going to stay so she can train at the dungeon, not her families living place.

"Alright let's go to the Library first Hana give us your shortsword," Taki says as she gets off the cart.

"Can you upgrade it with darkness mana?" Hana asks as she unsheaths the sword.

"Actually I can't I would need to learn darkness magic first..." Sora says.

"Then I'll wait until then. Choten should go first then" Hana closes her eyes and sheats the sword back opening them after she sheats the sword.

"Well thank you for letting me go first, here are my sword and shield" Choten hands over his weapons with a smile.

Sora takes them and inspects them, first is a metal sword that is rather heavier than a normal sword, the blade has a bronze-like tint to it while the handle is wrapped in gray leather, unlike Masayoshis sword which had red leather. The Shield is also made out of the same metal it looked like a templar shield just with the family crest on it. it was about 24" in height and 18" in width.

The Sword and Shield also had a core each but they were brown and the sword had it in the hilt while the shield had it above the Yoshino crest in the middle.

"So I am guessing you want earth mana?" Sora asks just in case, as they were talking they reached a big double door.

"Of course!" Choten answers with a grin.

"Alright I'll get it done as soon as I can," Sora says with a smile

"Let's go you'll upgrade while you study if you want we can also get you a tutor, this is the Library," Taki says as she opens the door.

"I'll be fine I am good at learning." Says Sora with a smile.

"Suit your self just ask a servant if you need anything and if they can't help you just tell them to find me. Also when you finish upgrading just call for a servant." Taki nods and leaves closing the door.

The library isn't that big it's in the shape of a circle with a round table in the middle surrounded by a dozen chairs, left and right from the table there are two bookshelves arcing around the table at the opposite side of the door there is an opening with a row of bookshelves up against the wall going all the way around to the door.

Everything is sorted by type of books like history, geography, and other things but there doesn't seem to be a magic one.

Sora takes off his armor "Hmm I should have upgraded my clothing, Well best get started, for the first one... I guess the history of this kingdom" Sora starts looking around the history section which is on the left side of the door.

"Ahh here it is, but it's kinda small... let's see why" Sora sits down in a random chair and starts reading.

a dozen or so minutes later~

'Ah, so that's why it so short, the kingdom only came into existence about 39 years ago it didn't really have time to get a history, hell the first king is still the king, although apparently he'll retire soon.' Sora flips through to see if he is missing anything

'There were quite a lot of battles apparently the human kingdom church doesn't like what this kingdom is trying to do, how cliche. The king took the chance during a war to scratch out the territory for this kingdom. Gathering allies through his charisma and fighting off a piece of land then expanding while the enemy is weakened.'

'But guessing through this small territory map and from the small amount of actual resistance, the opposing kingdoms simply didn't care a lot for this land...' Sora puts down the book.

'There should be one for territory and resources' Sora thinks while searching as well as keeping an eye on his mana for upgrading.

another dozen minutes~

Earth Spike- attacks the target with an earth spike rising from the ground

'Mhm now the shield, afterward I'll upgrade the leather armor, well actually do I need to? I am going to get better armor soon I guess I'll just upgrade my clothing.'

'Also I was right about the opposing kingdoms not caring this territory has mediocre resources at best and it's quite a mountainous area so its hard to live in but... the dungeons might fix that according to the history book they appeared over 6 years ago, and with them bringing valuable magic materials, like scales, ore, plants and lots of things'

'And that's not all the Army can also get stronger by sending expeditions in the dungeon since there is an unlimited amount of beasts that the dungeon spawns, it also seems that this area has the richest and strongest dungeons and they also first appeared here'

'Thus giving them a chance to protect themselves' Sora closes the book. 'I can't help but feel weird about the dungeon now that the strength of the monsters is rising'

'I can only wait and see if anything is wrong for now'

SpA: Wind Speed*

'Its quite beat up...'

*inhale* *exhale*

'upgrade' (Author here I don't choose if it breaks or not it's up to chance but its quite low for it to break)

As Sora says the words in his mind the upgrade circle starts forming as Sora begins making it with wind magic soon the circle finishes as the wind mana starts infusing into the armor.

Soon after Sora felt a great force slam into him.

*Buuoooom*

The force throwing him on his ass and sending a vibrating shock through the room knocking over some books.

Sora sits there with a dumbfounded face looking at the pieces of armor on the ground. 'Well that is unexpected... thank god it wasn't fire mana... Didn't it say that the chance for it to happen was small? I am just unlucky? I can't help but feel something gnawing at me is this a premonition?
