Capítulo 5: Arriving at the Hideout
So I finally remembered what I originally wanted to name the ingenuity skill, it was elemental channeling. I man I feel stupid now, I can't believe I forgot something so simple. This will make it so Winter can channel energy through other people as well as herself
************************************
I slowly started to make my way to the bandit hideout, sneaking my way through the forest. Slowly and quietly making my way through the forest I eventually see my first bandit and use appraisal on him.
Bandit Thug
Rank: E-
As I see the bandit, my mind races through all of the horrible things he is almost guaranteed to have done. Thinking of this my mind started seething in rage, but I keep myself calm and summon my scythe, keeping myself from leaking killing intent. I position myself in the most opportune place and activate Quick Steps and infuse lightning energy into it and ice into my scythe. I quickly arrive behind the startling him as he turns around, shock apparent on his face, and send his head flying.
With my first kill I become extremely nauseous and quickly find somewhere and empty my stomach. I search his body to see if he has anything useful to me and quickly find a knife and 24 copper pieces on him, all while gagging and blocking air from coming in my nose.
Slowly I start to make my way to the bandit hideout, slowly getting accustomed to killing the bandits. I eventually find a female bandit and afterward change my armors appearance to roughly the same look. As I kill another bandit, with them being unaware, I received several notifications from the system.
*User has repeated action with sufficient skill enough, growth skill Basic Stealth gained.
*Ice and lightning Affinities have leveled up and reached basic 2
*User has reached level 3.
I quickly find a place to hide myself and open up the system interface to allocate my newly achieved points.

I thought this to myself wanting to help the people who can't afford the clergyman of the churches in their areas.
Putting these thought away for now I mentally prepare myself for the hideout, knowing this is where it gets serious. The hideout will be where all the high level figures are, so they will be much more difficult to kill.
Although a little bit risky, my best bet to get inside the base is to continue keeping this armor appearance and just walk in. With this plan I would just have to start killing if I was found out, which could get dangerous extremely fast. It's the only good option that I have considering there are no sneaky ways to enter the base, only a frontal assault can work. The only other I can think about is to get "captured" as a civilian and breakout in the base, but way to many things could go wrong, I get goosebumps thinking about it. Needless to say, it would be a fate much worse than death.
I quickly start to plan for every possibility that I can think of, hopefully none will need to come into play. I'm rushing in my plans knowing that they will be on high alert soon because of how many bandits I already killed. My guess is that I have until either half an hour or shortly before sundown to get started, but the earlier I start the better.
Before the end of the half hour is up I start to put my plan in motion, I can't afford to postpone any longer. I start to walk up to the hideout, hoping against all odds that this disguise plan will work for as long as I need it to. Unfortunately plans don't always work the way we want them to, and about 100 yards (~91 meters) they saw and knew I wasn't one of them.
It was now or never, so I summoned my scythe and changed my armor back to normal. I quickly activated lightning element Quick Steps and bolted for the entrance, arriving there in an instant.
