Reaching third town

===Aella===

Aella and her party finally reached the next town. It took them several days, as it wasn't as close to the dungeon's exit as the previous one. Under normal circumstances, it would take them two days, but Nalel and Jerlik had to log out a few times to take care of business in the real world.

Aella didn't leave them behind as she didn't want to find new party members. A party of four was again the minimum for the next Dungeon. So they agreed to keep following her and join at her dungeon clears like that. They got a reasonable sum of exps even if they weren't part of the combat as they were rewarded with more experience on being part of the party that completed the dungeon.

The party got extra exps for killing the Boss so fast, which was record time, but the System didn't keep track of those times. The system only cared if you killed it within a specific duration, from when a person entered the Boss Room to when that time was lower than its standards. This was also why Aella got the token for Rin as a reward, as she killed the Boss within that time, allowing her to take that extra reward since she was also the first one to do so.

At that point, Aella and Rin were level 27, but they were too far for Aella to be happy with the strength and speed she could use without worrying about the system. She kept investing in her agility for now but gave a few points to her strengths to keep improving slowly. With the help of Rin, she could take care of it if she needed something to break that she couldn't do without triggering the System to look for her.

She helped the rest of her party level up, and they barely reached level 25, which was the required level for the next dungeon.

She was eager to see what monsters she would face this time, but she had only the name of their species. They were Orcs, and she learned a little more about them by speaking with Naren. They were humanoid creatures like the goblins, but adult size, and physically more potent but even dumber.

Some of them were smarter than the rest of their kin and became Shamans, the mage type of the Orcs. Shamans could communicate with the Spirits, use their power against their enemies, and even summon them by making temporary bodies.

Aella thought that maybe the last Boss was a Goblin Shaman, and it tried to summon some spirits before Rin took care of it. She was interested in facing them and seeing how their magic worked, as to her, it sounded like something demons could do as the souls and spirits of others fed them to strengthen themselves. Even if she was a couple hundred years old, she had never actually watched how Demon's magic worked and if they used the souls of their victims.

When they reached the town, she was eager to go to the dungeon, but Nalel and Jerlik were too tired to go to the dungeon. Even if they wouldn't do anything to help her, they wanted to rest in a tavern and not in the dungeon.

Aella couldn't do anything about it other than wait, so she visited the local Warrior instructor. She had already learned all her last instructor's skills, even a few that she would learn later on, but she had her ways of persuading him to teach her. But these weren't all the Skills a Warrior could know, so she decided to find out if the one here had anything new and exciting to teach her.

Finding where the local Warrior tutor wasn't challenging, as many people needed to go there for their skills, so Aella reached her destination quickly enough. To her surprise, this time, the tutor was a woman. In the first town, all tutors were male, and she hadn't checked what the ones in the second town were, but by asking Naren, she learned they were all male there, too.

"Welcome adventure. Are you here to learn the…. wait a minute. That sword? Where did you get it? "

The reaction surprised Aella, as nobody had shown interest in her sword until now. At least there was no NPC since some players were looking at it with interest, as it looked not to be just an ordinary sword, but they couldn't tell its actual value.

"It was a gift, "she responded.

She used other charms on the tutor to give her his sword. Even if she had used her Vampire Charm back then, it was still technically a gift.

"That bastard. I thought he had changed, but he is the same Casanova after all those years. It would be best if you gave me this sword right now. It doesn't belong to you. "

The female Warrior tutor tried to grab the sword, but Aella quickly sidestepped it out of her reach.

"I am sorry, but the sword is mine and will stay like that. "

If she had asked nicely and explained why she had to get the sword, Aella might have cooperated with her. But, since she didn't do so, she wouldn't let her have the sword.

"You aren't the rightful owner. He wasn't the rightful owner either, so him giving it to you doesn't count either. SO. GIVE. IT. HERE."

Everyone around started making distance from them, as the Warrior tutor was letting out an aura of bloodlust as she drew her weapon. She had a sword, shield, and not a greatsword, like the first town tutor.

Aella was unaffected by the bloodlust, as she had faced more significant dangers to her life and people who had let out stronger killing intent than that.

The tutor charged with her shield in front, and Aella knew what she was trying to do. It was a Skill called Shield Charge, which needed a shield and the Charge Skill to be above level 20. If you used the Skill and hit a target, the target would become stunned depending on the target's endurance, the user's strength, and the Skill's level.

Aella had the skills available to be unlocked by her first tutor. Even if she didn't have the requirements back then, the tutor spoke of the details of the Skill enough to appear in the Skills menu but as unfinished, meaning she had to use it once in a decent degree to fully unlock it successfully. Unfortunately, she had no shield, so it was still unfinished.

When the tutor reached her, Aella sidestepped at the last possible second and moved behind her. Then, before the tutor could react, Aella hit her on the back of her neck, making her slam down to the ground. She used just enough strength not to make her bracelet light up.

The tutor remained motionless on the ground, and everyone else remained frozen in that sight, as they couldn't believe what they saw.

Since Aella couldn't learn anything from the tutor, as she probably would keep attacking her, she decided to move on. But as she stepped forward, she quickly drew her sword, turned, and slashed the space behind her.

A figure appeared out of nowhere and jumped backward to avoid Aella's sword.

"How did you detect me? "

Aella figured that this person was another NPC. This time, he was a Rogue, and his armor showed the symbol each of the Rogue class tutors had on their armor.

Aella was ready to say something but then jumped backward. A ball of fire hit the floor where she stood and exploded. She moved fast enough to avoid any damage as she looked up in the air toward the source of the attack. A tall, pointy-eared female humanoid, who seemed to belong to a race called elf in the game, was hovering in the air and slowly getting down on the ground.

Aella could tell that she controlled some air around her that kept turning like a mini hurricane to keep her afloat but wasn't visible to the naked eye. At least not to the eyes of humans, but she wasn't a human.

This seemed to be the mage tutor.

"You are pretty fast and perceptive. So why did you attack Melrila? "the elf mage asked her.

Aella was ready for a fight, but she would probably need to use more power than she was allowed by the System now that she hadn't the surprise element.

"I defended myself. She tried to get something of mine, and I disagreed, so I paid back with the same coin when she tried to use force. "

The rogue and the mage paid great attention to her words as they tried to determine whether she was telling the truth. But Aella had lived for a long time and wasn't so easy to read by someone if she wanted.

At that point, the warrior tutor came to consciousness again and stood up, but she was clearly weak by that hit.

Her two fellow tutors helped her stay up as she looked towards Aella.

"How about we talk about it with a few drinks? "the female warrior suggested.

Aella nodded, and they went their way towards the nearest tavern.

The players in the area were still frozen and confused about what had just happened, so they started a commotion that would last for a few weeks.

The appearance of a monster player of unknown identity.
