It has been a week since I started training with Elise, Elise Kro was the girl who saved me from the black stag a week ago.
Elise didn't talk much about herself, but from the expressions of the goblins inside the den, it was pretty obvious that she was feared by the majority.
Yes, it was later confirmed that she was from the same den as me, but oddly enough she was a lone wolf who hunted alone. It was surprising that no one joined her during her hunting time as she was terribly strong and she would increase the survival rate of whichever group she was in.
For my training, Elise usually sparred with me. According to her, it was the next best thing to the life-and-death battles.
Our sparring sessions would usually end up with me getting beaten black and blue. And Elise never shed a single drop of sweat during our training time. It made me wonder, just how much did she train to get this strong.
For today, Elise decided that I would go deeper into the woods to challenge the monsters living there and she told me this was a necessary step to get stronger.
She said - " You cannot become strong if you do not go all out and that usually happens when you are in a fight or flight situation. Your mastery of vigor will see a huge leap and it will also make your will stronger."
And here I am searching for my first fight, it makes me terrified but I know in order to become stronger I have to overcome this obstacle.
Elise did not give me any instructions on what I should do, she only mentioned running away from the monster groups and only aiming for one-on-one fights.
Well that's what I would do
