Chapter 8: A Good Fight and Material Hunting
Jeanne wakes up from her sleep before yawning slightly, she looked at the time and saw it was around 5 in the morning, if she got ready for school now, she could leave and possibly do some item hunting for her Broken Bow.
"Twenty Scorched Iron, five half an inch thick metal wire, and a ton of MP..." she mutters to herself, MP and Scorched Iron was simple, she already saw a scorched dungeon, so she could probably find some there, or at least melt down the swords there for it.
The MP was more simple, just eat a crap ton, probably go to McDonalds and spend like... $500.00 on food? because of the gamer she could eat infinity, so theres always that...
"How the hell do I get something as specific as half an inch thick metal wire...? thats an insane type of thickness that's twice as much as the thickest type of metal wire..." she thinks for a moment before getting an idea, if she could get Alteration she could possibly just take a bunch of wire and alter it to be half an inch thick... sounds somewhat easy...
Now the problem of how to get Alteration...
She tried recalling anything about it and all she got was 'the imbetween of Reinforcement and Projection'...
She sighs, "This is going to be my morning instead, isn't it...?" and with that she got to work.
She tried Reinforcing while trying to move it like she would with her projections, nothing.
She tried instead of moving, adding onto it, making something larger was also considered an alteration, right? nope, nothing.
Stopping for a moment before getting an idea.
She goes to the store, which also seemed to have a visual update, neat, and looks up Alteration.
[Alteration - Active]

She needed this badly...
She could afford it too, but it cut so much into her mone-
And she bought it...
And learned it.
[Alteraction - LV1 0.00% - Active]
allows one to alter the shape of an object depending on their skill.

Well... time to grind.
After that one and a half hours of training later, she checked the skill

allows one to alter the shape of an object depending on their skill.
- 50% change in shape
- 2% change in mass

"That was by far the most productive morning of my life... of this life I mean... minus basically every morning I go to a dungeon..." she sighs before getting her things for school, she had nothing else to do right now, and her skill was at the level needed to make swords into arrows.
At least when she gets the Broken Bow she will be able to use it.
She sighs as she exits her house, she wonders to herself for a moment before smirking slightly, she decided to test out her stealth, since she was alot higher level then everyone else.
So after (stealthily) going to school and getting 5 levels in stealth, she goes through the routine her body is already getting used too, she just boredly went through school for the next three school days, but something did happen on Thursday.
"Alright class, today we have sparring with each other, but I will assign everyone a practice weapon, and it will not be your weapon of choice, you will fight till three point hit." the teacher called out to everyone when they all got to class, everyone was slightly nervous about being out of their element.
The teacher went through the students, when finally it was her go.
"Jeanne Skylark, Sword." oh...
Oh shit...
"U-uh... could I not fight with a sword?" she was a risk of exposure here!
"Nonsense, you need to learn some close combat minus your fist, a sword is a good choice." Jeanne just nods before looking at her oppone- she means sparring partner.
They was a blonde boy, green eyes and he seemed... not cocky, confident... she decides to use observe on him.
Name: Leon Spencer

Race: Human (Australian)
HP: 4,800/4,800
MP: 3,800/3,800
STR: 38

MANA: 20
LUK: 10
Huh... he had more MP then her...
"Hey there, I'm Leon." he held his hand out for a hand shake, which she returned, "Jeanne." he looked confused, "French?" she sighs slightly, "mothers side, I'm half Australian." he nods before they step apart and readies their weapons, Jeanne had a Kendo sword while Leon had two wooden daggers he held awkwardly, seemed he didn't know how to use them fully.
'Hmm... I'll go easy on him so he can learn to fight with those.' she puts on a fake stances that she wasn't used too, after a few moments the match began, they dashed at each other and she had to block a strike from above and had to jump back from another slash, she glances at her sparring partner before grinning slightly.
She rushes forward and before swinging side steps past him and swings, forcing him to block, she continued the momentum of her strike to spin around and block a strike with enough force to throw him unbalance, she turns her grin 180 degrees before swinging again, making contact with his arm and awarding her the first point, but a moment after she lets him get a hit on her chest while pretending to try blocking it, which she jumps back after to get distance.
"One point to both sides." the teacher called out while everyone was shocked by the seamless suicidal move she had done, you never turn your back on an enemy after all.
She grins at him, she wasn't a battle maniac... debatably anyways...
He grinned back at her, "man, you don't play around huh? do you take up Kendo?" Jeanne thinks for a moment, "I've held toy swords before, and I've watched some of those anime from Japan for inspiration in fighting in close combat..." it would explain some of the things she'd do in combat.
"Wow, are they any good for learning?" Jeanne shrugs to his question, "eh, that Dragon ball one is good for martial arts, but most stuff seen in them is near impossible, so I've studied and adapted them to real life." he seemed interested, but sighs before rushing forward, he went for a hole in her stance, which she ducked under and strikes at his legs, which he jumped back from.
She steps back abit before sighing, "I hate that I can't go all out because abilities aren't allow..." he looked confused, "but isn't your ability support based?" she grins slightly before she lowers her stance and turns to the teacher, "hey Teach, could we use our abilities if we keep harm with them to a minimum?" the teacher thinks for a moment before nodding.
She grins for a moment before closing her eyes, Leon rushes at her and before he could hit her she moved faster then she did originally, and managed to knock him off balance, she pushed him on the check light enough to knock him back abit.
Leon stops abit away and gets up to look at Jeanne, small amounts of Lightning crackled around her, "What...?" Jeanne looked slightly smug for a moment before speaking.
"My ability is reproducing types of energy I come into contact with, nothing says they can't have benefits for me in combat." she flinch slightly before getting into a stance, "One point to Jeanne." the teacher called out after a moment of silence.
She rushes forward and surprises Leon with her speed, he blocks the intial strike but she jumps over him and swings at him from above, which he blocks-
And it breaks his wooden dagger.
She lands and strikes at him, he narrows his eyes before they glow red and he side steps and strikes her hard enough to make her cheek bleed, she jumps back slightly in shock before putting a hand over her cheek.
"One point to Leon"
"So... that's your ability..." she says, "Reflex and strength enhancement?" Leon smirks, "No, my Ability, The Warrior, enhances my entire body in all regards of combat compared to the pressure i am against."
...
"So Reflex and Strength enhancement?" he sighs before nodding.
"So... your eyes glow red when it's active?" he nods once more, she smirks slightly, that ability would be insanely useful against her if she went all out...
She readies her Kendo sword, the next hit would decide the match, and plus...
'Such an ability has to have a limit!' She rushes forward and swings her sword, she manages to hit his remaining dagger two times, but then his eyes flashed red, making her jump back at the sign of him improving.
She starts running around him in a circle, and he managed to keep an eye on her, so she did something conventional and threw her Kendo sword at him, since he wasn't expected it, it hit him right in the stomach, "Final point to Jeanne, Jeanne wins!" people cheered for the victory but she didn't pay attention.
She walks up to Leon and offers a handshake, which he accepts, "Good fight." she says, he nods, "you too, didn't expect you to throw it at me though." Jeanne shrugs while grinning.
She got a notification.
Relationship: Leon Spencer +10, you are now more then fellow students, but not yet friends.
Hmm, useful, why didn't she have one with Manus? well, she isn't apart of this world so thats probably the reason...
"Hey, maybe after class we could hang out?" well, she needed a friend, and maybe if she trusts him enough she'll take him to a dungeon for training.
Probably not, not with her plans she cooked up with Manus, but still, having a friend for a while would be nice.
It was Saturday now, so she needed to go item hunting and luckily the Scorched Quarters showed up again.
She entered the dungeon and looked around, she was a desert and she saw a bunker in the distance.
She shrugs before walking to it, her eyes widen before moving her head to the side so a bullet didnt hit it, she rushes over to a large rock and took cover.
"Alright... so there are guns here... well, I've been meaning to at least collect a few." she glances out and saw... humans?
Metal Solider LV50
The Solider with no soul
She quickly ducks back into cover to avoid a bullet.
"Huh, alright, so I can dodge bullets if I concentrate..." that was useful to know, now then.
She summons a bow and arrow and takes in a breath, she rushes out and runs sideways of the gunman, she aims her bow while running and fires an arrow at it, which managed to hit it in the chest, it stunned it for a moment before it tried shooting again, only to find it's arms have been cut off from a sword held by Jeanne.
It looks behind it to see a grinning face as it's head was separated from it's body.
...
"Well, maybe I should implore some stealth, could be fun... it'll be like Metal Gear." she smirks before taking the gun and ammo from the killed solider before scoffing, "only one guard, that's stupid.
She got around 20,000 EXP for that kill, but she wasn't here to kill, she was here to gather.
Before entering she decides to do structural analysis on the building and closed her eyes, after a few moments she opened them, she got a full mental map of the place.
"Now, why haven't I done that before? It even showed the hidden room." and there went the troubles that came from that, now, metal gear time.
"Dun- dun- dun- dun dun dum." she was quietly recreating the classic spy moving through hostile area theme, was it from 007 or something else? she couldn't remember and didn't really care.
"Da- da- duuuum~" she sneaked through a hallway and got into a room, "ah, and now comes the prize." it was a storage room of sorts with a bunch of materials within it.
She moved around and took down the two guards within and hides their bodies.
So 40,000 EXP and a level up later, she was searching through the items within storage, and find alot of items.
Namely a bunch of Metal wire, the Scorched Iron she needed, plus some extra along with all materials needed to create some swords, since she needed to start forging her own as the ones she got from dungeons were kind of useless unless she used them as projectiles.
She had the objects needed for the Broken Bow now, just needed to get the MP and Alteration high enough to craft it now, she look around some more and found some blueprints, some of which she'll be using for that plan of hers.
She smiles, she'd train Alteration while at home and then make the bow when she could.
It was a productive day.
