Capítulo 4: 4. Growing Group
It's currently night time and fortunately we were able to find a small cave just right before the sky turned dark. With the little time we have, we gathered all the dry leaves and twigs that we could find and with Sil knowledge, she made a fire manually.
Sil struck her spear head with a stone a few times before the fire start to lit up. After that she also cleaned the rabbit meat and then cut it into smaller pieces of meat before skewered it into a wood stick before placing it near the fire.
Unfortunately we couldn't find any water around here but Sil said that we could drink water in the morning by gathering dew.
If you see from the start till now, I'm practically useless. I don't know anything about survival in the wilderness.
As a man I couldn't help but feel embarrassed for letting a girl do all this tasks alone. My pride as a man also got hit for being useless.
Though she notice how I felt at some point and even told me to not be bother with it because she was my servant so it was natural for her to take care of me, I still feel bad for her.
I was born into a prestigious family which still hold some tradition of the old era. One of them is the patriarchal system in the family where a man should be above woman in everything.
Though I learned about gender equality and how the society in my world has changed following modernization, some of the family teaching still attached to me unconsciously.
I don't have any thinking about man should be above woman in everything but I still have a little feeling that a man should be the one to do everything and let the woman feel safe and sound.
So with a strong determination, I asked Sil to teach me the way of survival in the wild. I don't want to leave everything to her and sit back without doing anything.
If I can't do it now then I should be able to do it in the future. If I can't do something then learn how to do it, that has been my life motto for the past 2 years of my life.
We then spent the rest of the night talking to each other for a while before going to sleep. Note here that the one who fell asleep is none other than me. As for Sil, she stayed awake to guard for the rest of the night till the sun came up. Of course naturally I felt very ashamed of myself the next morning.
After I woke up, we continue to walk toward north but this time not long after we start, we met a wolf like 3 meters tall beast. Of course Sil once again took care of it by herself but after she killed the beast, the beast carcass start to disperse and I got a notification from the game system.
[You have gained 1 GP for killing 1 iron grade beast]
"Oh so I can get GP by killing beasts, Sil, can you detect low leveled beasts around us?"
"Yes I can master.'
"Then can I ask you to kill any of those beasts if you found some, I just found out that we can GP from hunting those beasts."
Hearing my request, Sil only smile to me and said with a happy expression.
"Of course master. Your wish is my command. Don't feel bad about ordering me to do something that you can't, it's my job after all"
I couldn't say anything back to her and just scratch the back of my head while looking away from her.
As we move on, Sil kept killing all the beasts we encountered and at one time she even find a card as a drop from the beast.

Though I don't have enough spirit to summon this new card normally but with Sil additional skill that reduce the cost of Lead grade cards and bellow for soldier rank cards, I was able to summon her with no cost.
With this newly acquired card, Now there are 2 girls in my group. Although this scout is not as pretty as Sil, but still if compared to the girls in my world than she is no doubt will be called as a beautiful person.
If an Iron grade card girl was already this pretty, then it's not mistaken that Sil beauty is very breathtaking and lethal.
Damn, I really hope the next card I got would be a guy. I don't think I can keep my sanity if I were taken care and surrounded by beautiful girls everyday.
Moving on, we kept meeting various kind of beasts which hunted by Sil and sometimes by the scout girl which of course grant me more GP.
I don't know where did all this beast came out from, after all we didn't met any of them yesterday or maybe there's some unspoken rule were the first day of the match is a safe day, well I will assume so.
After 8 hours of walking in the forest, we didn't get what we were looking for, a shelter, but we found something maybe even better, a ruined shrine. From the past 8 hours of hunting, we managed to hunt more than 100 beasts.
Those beasts just came like once in every 5 minutes and some times they even came as a group of 3 or more. Anyway, even after we hunt more than 100 beasts, I only got 2 more card drops and both of the cards were follower card. Fortunately this time one of the cards I got were male so I don't have to be the only man in the group anymore. At least his presence helps my mental a little bit.

Of course I immediately summoned them to add more numbers in my group. Though this is a rookie match, I don't want to be rash and arrogant for having a gold grade card and think that everything will be easy.
"Master, I don't know what will be waiting for us inside this shrine, I think it would be better if we sent a scout first." (Silvanaz)
#A/N : As the story grow, more characters will appears in the future so to make it easier to know who is talking when in a group conversation, I will add the name of the speaker at the end of the dialogue.
I don't really want to sacrifice any of my cards but I have to learn how to utilize my cards the right way. I need to prioritize Sil safety as she is a rare card while for the other cards, they are iron grade cards which quite easy to get so it's obvious which card I will sacrifice to ensure our safety and victory.
"You're right Sil. Alright, scout girl, you go in first and see if there any danger or not. Use your skill and run back here if you met something dangerous."(Jin)
"Yes, master!" (Scout Girl)
Then 30 minutes passed after I ordered her to scout the ruined shrine before she came back while using her skill. Within those 30 minutes, I kept getting GP notification from the system so assume that the scout girl were able to kill a lot of weak monster inside the shrine.
"Master, I'm back with a good news." (Scout Girl)
