บท 7: She who does not work neither shall she eat and all my hard work!
It would seem that I'll need to try harder in my mana practice, but for now I'm going to try finding a place that will feed me. After many failed attempts at finding a place, I happened apon the Hostess of Fertility rose took me to for lunch yesterday.
Going inside I walk upto a woman with long brown hair and brown eyes. "E-Excuse me" "Hello what'll you have?" "U-Umm no I-I wanted to ask you a question." "Oh and what's that?" "I-I won't be going into the d-dungeon for a while s-so I won't be able to make money to b-buy food and I was w-wondering if you could hire me and pay me with f-food."
"Give me a better reason as to why I should hire you." "I-I... I want to g-get over my fear of p-people and a pub is a place where I'd h-have to interact with people a lot. I w-want to change from who I was, a-always afraid to be n-near people." "Alright, let's see what you can do."
And that's how I started my part time job at the Hostess of Fertility as a waitress. I can already tell, I'm so going to suffer. As I started a daily routine of going to the training ground and shooting my bow, meditating try to feel my mana, using my magic if I can't feel it to understand the feeling again, my limit for making the bow is 2 times.
Going to work, Mama Mia is really kind and is very understanding of my conditions, I explained to her about my autism and social anxiety. She said she'd help me as long as I put in the effort, it also became a routine to go greet Rose every morning and sometimes we'd eat together.
I almost made a few mistakes but a coworker from work helped out, her name is syr and she is also understanding of my problems, and encourages me to do my best. Sometimes I ask her questions about the job but she's also new to it so, we've been helping each other and teaching one another anything new as we go along.
After a 2 weeks of practice I finally learned the most important thing... putting on and taking off my outfit I chose, and I learned how mana feels in my body without having to use my magic. Which is great just not as happy as I was with my outfit practice, teehee. After feeling mana I thought I should check my status, I hadn't been looking at it because I was busy and forgot.

Oooh so this is what System Link meant, I can see my growth without needing to update, but wouldn't that mean I won't get this upgrade in my stats until my goddess updates my falna? That's good and bad definitely a shade of gray.
Now today I'm practicing with my archery while moving, having to stop every time to shoot will only get me killed. After a few failed attempts I finally got a understanding of what I've been doing wrong, not that I succeeded it's actually the opposite I failed even more, but I'm getting there, I can shoot targets that are in a row while walking parallel to them.
I don't know if I should be happy about this, I was so stuck on it for a week that I decided to ask Artemis, and I was able to do better almost within a day, I'm upset that I didn't think of this. After getting to a comfortable degree, I made the mistake of trying to bite off more than I can chew.
I was thinking about my old life and thought about iron man because of some guy wearing full plate armor. The saying that my mind went to was "Sometimes you need to run before you can walk" I was suffering from the consequences of my actions.
I ran while shooting and tripped, luckily I was using my mana bow, so my bow didn't break, really love my bow, unluckily I was using my mana bow... When I fell... It exploded... The only reason I didn't suffer an injury from the explosion was because, when I tripped the bow was flung out of my hands.
I was so embarrassed by what had happened, I literally ran away leaving a hole in the training ground. Now, if that was it, I would have been very happy, but no... someone had either seen it happen or a god saw, because everyone knew, I even got a nickname from my friends... "Exploding Archer" The night I got home after I first heard it, I crawled into my bed and cried in embarrassment.
I continued my daily routine for about a year before I finally decided it was time to dungeon crawl again. Today I'm going to have my falna updated, I held off from updating it because I thought it would hinder my training.

Opening my status to see what I've gained in the past year, I got hurt a bit from training, I finally managed to hide from Mama Mia after I accidentally made her mad, the only problem, Syr still found me and ratted me out, Mama Mia can be scary. °~°
I've been trying to pull at my mana like how my magic does but, I'm stuck and even though I do it daily I'm still not getting anywhere with it. The only plus side is that my meditation skill has been leveling up fast... or as fast as a year of meditating will give you with an hour a day.
After getting out of bed I get dressed in my day clothes and head to Artemis's office, apon arriving I see that the door is open, walking up I knock on the wall to make my presence known. "Ohh, hello sara, you haven't come to my office in a while, is training going ok?"
"Hello, it has been a while and training is going well... better then before." "Pfft" "Stop laughing!" °~° "I'm here to have my falna updated Mother!" "M-Mother?" "What? You were the one to take me in, if that doesn't make you my mom I don't know what is?" "Ahh, why did I have such an embarrassing child?" We both laughed for a bit.
