Kapitel 36: Chapter 36: The Witch and Champion (4)
~Third POV~
Elsewhere with Pyrrha and Albus busy hunting the Grimm for training…
Ruby and Nora both began to enter the Dust Shop of Dust till Dawn as they recently got the supplies of their weapons as Ruby glances around the place, "Hmm… Hey Nora. Do you think this Wind infused Dagger would work well with the Fire, Water, and Lightning infused daggers for Al?"
Nora glances at the weapons at the ready as she glances at the prices making her eyes wide at this as she spoke, "Whistle~ Damn these Dust weapons are pricey. Think he would like them huh? I mean with his semblance could make it work but how will he get them back when he runs out?"
Posing thoughtfully thinking Ruby places her hand on her chin as she pouts at the answer for Nora, "Hmm. Good point…. Maybe modify them with Gravity Dust hilts to return them to the user but I don't think he learned to use them properly. Still, the prices are very high. I'm glad he gave us a lot of Lien to buy. I don't think I would get some of these parts with my allowance."
Nodding at this Nora then began to think for a bit before she was reminded a few days ago of their connection. Having this thought she couldn't help but ask Ruby about it, "Say, Ruby. Al said he knew you before right? You two don't strike me as besties in the beginning well at least till we are now besties but you get my point right?"
Ruby then glances her head towards Nora as she admitted that as she sheepishly replied what was his first encounter was to her, "Well at first I thought he was a bit of a stalker and stranger. At least at first, he tried to act nice but when danger actually presented itself he showed that he can step up to the plate despite the danger…"
Frowning at this Ruby sighs as Nora catches this but lets her continue as she let her speak more about Albus making an embarrassed expression, "But well… when the danger continued chasing after Roman and my carelessness of not seeing the Red Dust. He took a hit for me despite the pain expression he had when I saw I thought he was going to be in the hospital or worse but then… you know the rest."
Nora nods at this happily as she was somewhat reminded of the same time Ren came to save her when he unlocked his semblance. Hearing the story made Nora have a better impression of their leader as she replied, "Yeah from the way it sounds like he kind of sounds like a dork at times. But someone with a good heart is in the right place. Still a dork at times but he our fearless leader right?"
Ruby laughs a bit at the comment as she painted an image of Albus during their time at her home talking and discussing the time together. She never had much experience with other people because of Yang's influence and friends but made an actual good friend for her to have met randomly.
Ruby chimes in as she decided to get the weapons of choice as she replied to Nora who grins seeing Ruby blush, "Come on Nora we have some weapons to buy. We can't exactly let our leader be defenseless at times right? Maybe these daggers would…"
As Ruby chooses the weapons for Albus Nora has her hand on her face with a knowing expression as she responded in the back of her head, 'This girl is serious heads over heels for him. Oh! I can't wait to see how this goes. Sad Ren doesn't share the same thing only seeing me as a sister but I can help another sister out!'
Like that the two continued their shopping trip.
While returning to the Witch and Champion situation…

~Albus POV~
*Thud*
*Thud*
*Thud*
*Thud*
Forcing the four Creeps down and focusing on adding merely the weight on their legs they began to feel the damage as the critical hits keep on coming on the Lv.10, Lv.24, Lv.45, and Lv.65 down as much as I could.
The fast they are stay put the faster they can die.
Raising up The List I began to shoot at the weakest ones on the legs as the Creep growled in pain as I made sure to use my Dust Rounds.
*Bang*
[<Marksmanship> LEVEL UP]
*Bang*
*Bang*
"Growl…."
Poof. Just like that one down and three more to go.
[You got 10 Exp]
[You got 7100 Lien]
That would make it 28% Exp I have now for the rest.
Taking time to reload different shells one of the Creeps are coming towards me as it was one of the high-level one Lv.65 charging at me as I sidestepped away from it. The pressure of its legs being weighed down helps a lot when they don't have the speed advantage.
Although I'm soon going to run out of AP soon if I don't deal with them soon enough. Maneuvering around a bit to see I began to add more weight of gravity on their legs as they began to croak out in pain.
*Crack*
The cracking sounds of the legs being broken were seen as I flinched at the scene. Brutal seeing that their very legs bend the other way. They tried maybe out of defiance towards me as I began to use <Telekinetic Choking>.
Holding it by the neck it began to croak at this while it was twirling around causing some damage. No Critical but enough to hold it in place as I glanced at my AP bar as it was draining faster.
That was until the other two finally died as I sighed my breath releasing my hold on the one coming towards me as I have plenty of AP around to have my <Aura> skill active keeping the bonus +30 stats on.
[You got 24 Exp]
[You got 7100 Lien]
[You got Wind Dust inside inventory]
[You got 45 Exp]
[You got Fire Dust inside inventory]
[You got 7100 Lien]
Taking a breather, a bit as I now gained a nice amount of Exp to 97% as I undid my <Aura> skill to allow it to properly regenerate again. Carefully viewing the Grimm in front of me as it suffers more from the attacks and lack of useable legs.
Reloading The List as I made sure to keep an eye on the Grimm in question I began to activate it again after 24 seconds have passed as I began to reactivate it, "Tch. I swear once I get a higher level this will make my job a lot easier. Now then…"
Using <Gyro-Telekinesis> I might as well use this chance to raise it up some more on it to have more practice along the way. Now then… Press down…
"Grr…!"
[<Gyro-Telekinesis> LEVEL UP]
[<Gyro-Telekinesis> LEVEL UP]
Finally, it died under the weight of Gravity as it increases more and more as it levels up.
[You got 65 Exp]
[You got 7100 Lien]
[LEVEL UP]
[Pyrrha defeated the Alpha Creep]
[You got 107 Exp]
[You got 7100 Lien]
[LEVEL UP]
Nice and great job Pyrrha for taking care of the Grimm.

Once I was done glancing at my status, I see Pyrrha come out looking quite exhausted a bit as I asked in concern as I saw her level cap leveled up two times into Lv.107, "Pyrrha you ain't looking fine? Tell me was the fight that exhausting for you or…"
Shaking her head she began to explain to me her situation as she briefly explained what happened, "Huff… huff… no. In fact, the fight was a challenge but not enough to be trouble. But these… level-ups though feel very tiring? It felt like I did a marathon in my younger years. That shouldn't be possible though."
Leveling up shouldn't that cause that much – wait for a second…
Oh!
I think I now know what's happening as I began to suspect the same patterns that my partners seem to have the same problem. Actually, remember a bit from my time partying with other people.
I remember Yang and Ruby usually get tired only when we level up like they just went through all the work somehow. In fact, it was those times that we could level up more but they became too tired to fight.
The same happened with Nora and Ruby yesterday as well when I thought the fight with the Deathstalker was to blame was actually leveling up too much was to blame for them tiring out too much.
And it happened here but made Pyrrha more tired than Nora and Ruby combined is it because she's a higher level making it difficult for her to grow more. The only reason I don't sustain this issue is because of my Gamer Body.
Hmm…
It's better to call it off today I don't want them getting extremely hurt like this. Better to quit ahead before any real dangers can come. Even if it's early I can next time bring the whole team without partying together.
I think I should call it off for now as I have time to grind later now though I should get Pyrrha back as soon as possible. At least though I got some level-ups from this thanks to her.
For now, her safety is my concern as my responsibility as a leader. I hope she can understand this discovery and promise the next time we do this together.
