章 6: Building determination and a shopping trip with my friend!
Waking up, I look around and find out I'm on my bed, sitting up I'm greeted by my goddess. "G-Good morning" "Don't give me that, why were you covered in injuries, and put yourself in mind down." "I-I was swarmed by k-kobolds and as I was running away I ended up at a d-dead-end. And after g-getting back to the guild, I e-explained what happened and my friend s-scolded me for not using my magic. After that she said you just n-need to say it's name to use it, I never k-knew that and after trying it... I-I got excited to figure out how it works, and I must have used it t-to many times." "You're an idiot, go wash yourself then come to my office, I'll update your falna." "I blame my autism..." "What was that." "N-Nothing!"
After Artemis left I got up and headed to the bathing area, I get undress with so much difficulty, that I'm cursing myself for choosing such a complicated outfit. After finally being free from my prison of my own choosing I start washing myself, sadly I couldn't focus on the fact I was a girl now.
Instead, I could only look at my new scars in shame, I wanted to get stronger but, I may have bitten off more than I can chew. From now on I need to practice, and learn new things, Magic and Stealth, shooting my bow faster.
I won't have a situation like that happen again and not be able to handle it or run away, from now on I need to be cautious. It's in my nature to do so, but with everything going on, I was just too excited.
Getting out of the bath, I realize that I don't have any extra clothes. I stare at the ceiling for awhile, sighing I put my clothes back on. Or that's what I'd like to say, it took longer to put them on right then it did taking them off, I so need some extra clothes.
After FINALLY getting dressed I walk to my goddesses office, and knock on the door. "Excuse me, I'm here." "Ah yes come in." "What took you so long." "I-I'm too embarrassed to say..." "Ok... just take off your shirt and lay on the bed."
Hanging my head, I whimper as I undo all the work I just did and lay on the bed, I think I heard someone stifling a laugh but I ignore it. "Alright let see hear, wow you had a hard time I'm glad that you're safe." "T-Thanks"
"U-Umm can I ask you a question?" "Sure sweetie what's up!" "H-How do you control mind or w-whatever its called?" "Now that's a difficult question, let's see?" "First you need to feel it within you, then you need to try pulling it to a specific point."
"Usually you just have to say a chant but, some mages will learn how to wield their mind, so they can use less or more for their chants." "Here's your stats."

"Listen, it's pretty hard to do, not just feeling your mind but, being able to manipulate it is even harder. So if you're going to try it, just know it's a long and hard road, don't get to upset if you can't do it. Ok?" "Y-yeah thanks for telling me."
After getting dressed, I start to leave. "I'm gonna go now." "Ok, be safe out there sara." "Yeah, I will. I'll be back soon." After leaving, I grab my bow and quiver from my room, counting my remaining arrows, I have 29 left. If I train with them, I'm going to have to be careful not to break them.
Leaving the house I head to the guild, apon arriving I walk over to rose. "Good m-morning rose" "Sara good morning, what happened yesterday, you fell on your knees and started yelling? Then you stood up and a glowing bow appeared in your hand, you ran out of here quickly after?"
"Y-yeah, I got too excited about finding out, how to use my magic, and I w-wanted to practice, sadly I went overboard." "I see, well what can I help you with today?" "I need some clothes and a dagger or a short sword, I don't have 1 and I r-realized I definitely need some type of melee weapon, just to be safe."
"Well why don't we go get you the things you're looking for, the 8th floor in Babel is a market for adventurers." "Yeah s-sounds like fun, l-let's go." Rose and I leave the guild and head to Babel, apon arriving rose lead us to an elevator. "There's even elevators!" I gasp in surprise.
"Ahahaha yeah, you know elevators but not how to use magic! hahaha" "H-Hey don't tease me mmmmm." "Sorry sorry it's just funny." After getting on the elevator we ride it up to the 8th floor, I go into a few stores but, all the daggers were either of bad quality or to expensive.
In the 5th store I found a dagger, I asked the salesman about it. He explained that one of the apprentices was trying to make a sword for pallums but, it didn't sell so it's been relegated to the discounted goods. I decide to buy it, it cost 6,500 valis, I had 7,900 valis so I have to be careful about money for a while.
After inspecting my new dagger that can't rightly be called a dagger or a short sword, because it's length is 40 centimeters. It's too long and heavy to be called a dagger and too short to be called a short sword. Hooking it to my belt on top of my quiver, it runs parallel with my belt around my hips.
After leaving the shop, rose leads me to a clothing store, I could only afford 2 sets of black long sleeve shirts and black pants. "Now I'm penniless again °~° thanks for coming with me rose, it's been a long time since I've been out with a f-friend."
"You're welcome, although I may be your advisor you are the same age as me, so having a friend you can hang out with is always better." "Now I just need to p-practice a lot so I don't get hurt!" "Yeah do your best, I know you can do it!"
After that we left, I walked with rose back to the guild, then back home, apon arriving I changed my clothes because they were dirty. After fighting to get out of them again I put on my new clothes, I think they look good, getting on my bed I try that lotus position thing I've read about.
After getting comfortable I close my eyes and focus on my body, I try to feel that energy again but I'm not feeling it. I do this for who knows how long when suddenly, my stomach has demanded that I pay attention to it, I only have some bread left from the food I bought the other day.
It's definitely not enough, but it's all I have left, I'll have to find a place that will allow me to have something to eat in exchange for doing some work. After thinking about what to do for food, I decided to open my status, wanting to know if I used any mana for my practice, and what I saw surprised me.
