Extremely Embarrassing....

What was I even saying ? And why are they getting so hyped up over it ? I just said whatever came to me in anger. And even worse i demanded Rahil to pledge an oath. Demanded ?? It was good that he swore an oath on the spot. If he had left me hanging I would have died from embarrassment. I was sleeping in my room. That was one big tiring day. I would have never attended something like that in my old life. For better or worse I feel like after coming to this world I have become much more courageous, being near people doesn't bother me as much as it used to. Maybe it's something physical ? Or maybe even our personality got mixed up ?

Whatever the reason, I liked this new found self of mine. If it was in my hand I would not choose to change. I loved my old self, however big of a weirdo I was. But this new side isn't that bad either. From now on Rahil is gonna live with us. Well at least I will have some nerdy company with me. And then I never realized when I fell asleep. I woke up and it was morning.

Everyone had started an early journey back home and I woke up at 11, so I found the palace almost empty. Tutor was not gonna come today, so I ate breakfast and was ready to level again. At least now I could use my skill freely in the palace, my fake skill though. Rahil also went back to prepare for his coming here. I went back to the forest through my tunnel. And started hunting monsters.

After leveling up to 3 I had killed 5 ogre, 26 goblins and 3 wolves. I had talked with one of the guards and he had said that there was a ceremony type thing for 4 years old children in every waccarian village . Where they hunted wild bunnies, first time hunting monsters. For them to level 1 to 2 they at least need to kill 250 wild bunnies. The ceremony lasted for more than a month. And it was held in the spring season where lots of bunnies traveled from south to north throughout the entire continent.

If I keep record of all the monsters I kill from now on maybe I can at least divide them in points per monster or experience like something. So right now I have exp from 5 O (ogre), 26 G (goblins) and 3 W (direwolves). Okay everything is sorted let's start leveling.

This time I activated sprint and ran through forest in opposite direction then I had gone the other day. Using sprint was not efficient for me but i wanted to try it out and i had to practice observing and moving at high speed so it won't be a variable in real fight. I ran at almost 45 to 50 kmh speed. It was overwhelming, everything looked like a blur… I had to stop and manage running at a lower speed first to adjust my sight. Still it was hard so I made sports glasses with my skill. At last I found that 40 was my limit for now, my mind couldn't comprehend with surrounding over 40 kmh speed. ( Note : There are no indicator of speed, its purely based on neff's speculation. )

I started running through the woods. And just in minutes three blue dots appeared in my third eye vision. I ran towards it, which was a mistake. The werewolves noticed my presence or more like heard me running. They ran a little in surprise but after smelling that it was just me they turned around. I was also ready.

Three ran towards me, one was behind. Hm ? The last one was red. Three wolves used charge towards me I used jump. I was 1.5 meter up in the air when suddenly I heard the whoos air splitting sound. My gamer instincts told me to dodge first and look later so I created something to step in the air. Iron sword came the most naturally to me. I stepped on it and used Flyhigh. Now I was almost 5 meters in the air. I made a platform for me to stand on then i looked down and i saw a tree being cut clean in half under me.

" Fuck that could have been me !! " I was thankful for all those boss fights which made me so vigil over the years.

The red werewolf was using air slash. C rank skill being used by a monster ? I knew there were a lot of rare and different kinds of monsters. Some were not even identified yet. But our forest was pretty low leveled. I went down one step at a time. They were barking at me. It seemed like they followed the red one. When I came under the tree top level they formed a formation, but this time I was ready. All three blue wolves ran towards me when I was on the ground again. I activated master control then threw one of my blades straight at the red one. I could tell they didn't expect that because one of the wolves got in the way to stop my blade from reaching. The red one could have dodged it but it used one of the wolves. Man how merciless they are. Other two jumped to attack me. I used a side-step to dodge instantly. They missed me and I got an opening so I used two balls of fireball for one wolf and my three blades for another one. Instantly killing them. Now there were only me and the red wolf.

I ran towards it. But it also started to run away from me. I increased my speed of sprint and when I came close he used three air slash backwards in three different angles while running. But I had enough of his tricks, I pretended to be surprised and lost a little speed so he turned his head to check up on me. I instantly used one of my Phase X structures. A thin blade like stone came out of the land, it was trying to stop after looking at me so it didn't notice and then it got impaled at 5 different spots by my earth blades. ( I call it earth blade because it sounds cool and appropriate !! ) Man that was one unexpectedly surprising situation for some mere direwolves.

I got near it and saw him turn to dust. It was a monster that was for sure now. Some rare species of direwolves maybe ? It dropped something. I picked it up and it was supposed to be a sword I think ? The blade was too short, the handle was of normal two handed sword like, shape was some kind of wavy pattern with sharp edges. When I touched it, it glowed golden for a sec. Then down side at the handle a little dot was visible in the air like some kind of button on an invisible screen connected to a sword. I touched the button and a window opened up and it was written as….
