Chapter 53 What Happened That Night

The skill I'm learning this time is Parry from the name it's a defensive Skill, and it's my first defensive Skill. I was so happy to see this notification that I didn't realize that Nanda was looking at me confused.

'What happened to him? Why was his face so happy when he managed to block my attack? What a strange person' Nanda thought about what had happened to me because suddenly I looked so happy.

"Hey, Bobby, why do you look so happy like that? Your brain is banging because of my skill or what?" Nanda also asked what happened to me because I looked very happy.

"Oh, it's okay Nanda, I'm just happy that I managed to withstand your attack without moving a bit from where I was standing, hehe" It seems I was too happy because I was learning a new skill, that I had forgotten I was with someone at this time.

"Oh, okay then, now it's your turn to attack me," she asked me to attack her this time. "What if you keep attacking me like before and I will still defend Nanda, it seems I lacked in practicing defense before" because I currently need her attacks to learn my skills I also asked her to keep attacking me and I'm still holding back her attacks today.

"Okay then, but I can only use that skill 10 times before all my energy runs out" Nanda then told me that she could only use that skill 10 times.

"Of course, it's okay Nanda, you can attack me without using that skill too if you want" I also understood this and asked her to attack me without using a skill if necessary.

"Okay then, this time I'll attack you without using the skill earlier." Then she rushed towards me quickly, it seemed she was using the Movement Skill this time. Luckily I can still see her movements even though they are a bit blurry, it seems when she uses this Skill it can make her move very fast, so I can't see her movements clearly.

On my right, I felt that it seemed like she was going to attack me from the right and I used my Slash Skill on my sword to block her attack. "Clanks!" the sound of clashing swords rang in my ears, it seemed like my hunch was right that she attacked me from the right.

"Hmm, you also have good reflexes, Bobby, even though I have used Wind Step which makes my speed double every step" Nanda was surprised to see me who could still recognize her movements.

"I couldn't see your movement clearly just now, and was just using my gut feeling when blocking your attack just now." I also told her that I couldn't see her movement clearly.

"Oh yes Nanda, why didn't you use your Skills when fighting the Rabbit Beast last night, I think with your Skills you can beat it easily," I asked her why she didn't use her Skills when fighting the Rabbit Beast last night.

"That's because those two Skills use up a lot of my energy, and I don't know if I can hit the Rabbit Beast or not because it's already night and there are many trees in the way. Since the selection is to arrive at the city gate the quickest instead of fighting Beasts, I guess there's no need to waste my energy fighting them." She then explained the reason why she didn't use her Skill last night.

"Oh, so it's because both of your Skills use up a lot of energy that you don't want to use them" I also understood the reason, but I still felt awkward at the explanation. But let's forget maybe she has a secret that doesn't want other people to know.

"Enough talking, let's continue the practice again" Nanda also asked me to continue our practice together. While saw the expression on my face when I heard her story.

What actually happened was when Nanda and the Rabbit Beast fought last night.

Nanda was running towards the building alone in the forest. "Sruk! Sruk!" the sound of her footsteps passing through the bushes made a sound. When she was running suddenly she felt like something was watching her, so she stopped to look around.

But when she stopped and looked around, she didn't see any movement around her. So she continued her journey back. 'I guess it's just my feelings' Not long after she left the place, she saw a Rabbit Beast running towards her.

Seeing the Rabbit Beast heading toward her, Nanda activated her Aura and drew the sword from its scabbard, and attacked the Rabbit Beast. Because the forest was dark, Nanda could not see clearly the Rabbit Beast, causing her attack to miss.

Because Nanda's attack was missed, the Rabbit Beast also managed to attack her, "Bak!" The Rabbit Beast's attack hit her stomach, it made Nanda bounce and hit the tree behind her. The Rabbit Beast, which saw its opponent lying on the ground, continued its attack to finish off its opponent by jumping using another tree as its foothold.

Fortunately, Nanda quickly realized that the rabbit beast was attacking her and immediately used Wind Step to the left to avoid the rabbit beast's attack. Nanda dodged the Rabbit Beast's attack and made her attack hit a tree. "Brak!" The Rabbit Beast's attack made the tree slightly destroyed. If Nanda was hit by that attack it would make her seriously injured.

Right now she was injured in the stomach, when she used Wind Step it made the wound even more painful. So she found it difficult to launch an attack on the Rabbit Beast while enduring the pain in her stomach.

Nanda could only survive at this time while looking for an opening to launch her attack. Fortunately, not long after that, she heard the sound of someone's footsteps coming towards her, Bobby came and asked me "Hey Nanda, do you need help?" hearing this, I answered "Yes, please help me Bobby. I can't beat this beast alone" after that Bobby was able to beat her with one slash.

That's why Nanda couldn't use her skill when she was fighting with the Rabbit Beast last night. because she had used it but couldn't beat the Rabbit Beast.

"I will attack using my Azure Edge again, so prepare yourself Bobby" she started gathering Aura on her sword to launch her Azure Edge at me. Seeing her starting to gather energy to launch her attack, I also took a stance to block her attack.

The 'Slash' aura on my blade was thicker than that on the rest of my body. "Are you ready?" she asked me and I nodded my head. "Azure Edge!" An attack with a waveform of green energy headed my way again and I blocked it with my sword like before.

"Bom!"

I managed to endure her attack again like before without moving an inch from where I was standing.

Ding.

Because I can withstand the previous attack while using Slash, the progress also increases. Now I have 3 out of 100, I don't know if I can get this skill today or not.
