Ignoring the boar and searching for easier prey, Mitsuna soon found a strange rabbit at level 32.
'This should be a lot easier to hunt.'
With this thought in mind, Mitsuna made a mana string and silently trapped the animal in an enclosed area.
Sending ice needles in the shape of something resembling origami knives, Mitsuna pulled on the strings and sent the needles flying.
The needles ripped through the rabbit at incredible speeds with it not even being able to react.
The strange thing was that there was no blood spilt. The rabbit was split into many pieces of smoke.
Mitsuna quickly realized that she had missed and used [Mana Reinforcement] and [Sprint] before getting kicked in the back.
Landing roughly on the ground, Mitsuna saw how the rabbit used the strings she scattered to bounce around.
'Smart*ss.'
Letting the mana strings dissipate as the rabbit was about to land on them, It fell to the ground and Mitsuna made her move.
Dashing on all fours, Mitsuna managed to reach the animal and punch it into the ground before it could get back on to its feet.
After landing a few blows, Mitsuna could feel something crack and break.
Bringing the now dead rabbit back home, Mitsuna borrowed a knife and started skinning the animal.
Although it needed work, Mitsuna did an okay job as she took the corpse of the rabbit and made a stew with the small amount of ingredients she could find around the nearby forest and in the drawers.
Half an hour later, something resembling soup was made.
"I smell food."
Empathy suddenly stood up as she turned towards Mitsuna in the kitchen.
Sitting down at a table, she was soon served.
'Hm. It smells good.'
Taking a spoonful and placing it in her mouth, Empathy's eyes opened.
Although it did smell quite nice the taste was as good as warm water with meat.
'I should just buy some actual ingredients.'
Empathy thought as she was frightened of the thought of eating warm water every morning.
'Whatever. It's good enough.'
"You hunted this right? What level was it?"
Empathy asked as she turned towards Mitsuna.
"I did. Level 32."
"Oh. Tier 2 at level one? Not bad."
"What Tier?"
"Don't tell me..."
Shrugging her shoulders, Mitsuna awaited an explanation.
"*Sigh*. Till now there are 6 known tiers. After a certain level, you can evolve and reach the next tier. The differences between them are like... well. Like the sky, and... let's just say the difference is really, really big. Tier 1, which you are in, goes from level 1 to 20, Tier 2 goes from 21 to 50 and so on."
"Anyway since you hunted an animal 30 or so levels higher than you, you must have gained some good experience."
"I don't know."
"You haven't checked?"
"No."
"Haven't your parents told you to constantly check your System status?"
"They have."
Letting out a sigh, Empathy told her to show it.

"Hmm. Really good stats as you are still in Tier 1."
"How do I use my AP?"
"Up to you but I recommend Agility and Dexterity since you'll be using the sword a lot."
"Okay."
Using her AP just as her teacher suggested, Mitsuna had complete faith in her as she placed half her AP into Agility and the rest into Dexterity.
"You should really think about it more before listening to a recommendation."
'If you weren't trustworthy my parents would not have left me here.' Mitsuna thought while glancing at her stats.

"Now let's get to training."
"Yes."
Trowing Mitsuna a wooden sword, Empathy took her outside.
"Swing it."
Swinging the sword like she usually does, Mitsuna received a smack on her hand.
Empathy also had a wooden sword in her hands as she looked at Mitsuna with calculating eyes.
"Your swing is inefficient. Let me remind you that your Style and Techniques are free to form as however, you want, but that does not mean you can devolve into a beast."
"For the next week, I'll have you train your body to improve reaction time and sword affinity while you get used to your new stats."
"At the end of the week, I'll oversee your tier up."
"And I can't do that now because it will enlarge the gap of strength so It's harder to control?"
"Yep. And it'll take a while to complete too, "
"now get to swinging."
