章節 13: I Have Grown Taller
"Ha!"
『 You have killed Slime LV.2! 』
『 You have killed Slime LV.1! 』
『 You have met the requirement for the skill! 』
『 You have gained the skill: Swordsmanship LV.1! 』
"What?"
Sheila wipes the sweat off her forehead with her hand before looking at the window in front of her once again. She didn't see it wrong, she had acquired another skill, and it was the skill that she had wanted when she found the rusty sword.
『 Swordsmanship LV.1 』
『 When equipped with a sword, the attack will increase by 10%. 』
"Nice!"
She tried swinging the rusty sword a couple of times, and with her sharp sense, she noticed a difference between before and after. Previously, the swing of her sword was just brute force her way with the rusty sword; she had no skill and were just an idiot swinging her stick around. But now, she feels like she had experience in swinging the sword for a few years due to some sword move that was imprinted in her mind the moment she acquired the skill.
The difference between the past her and the current her is double. She could proficiently kill the slimes even faster than before. But sadly that didn't last long.
『 You have killed Slime LV.1! 』
『 You have killed Slime LV.1! 』
『 You have killed Slime LV.1! 』
...
『 You have leveled up! 』
『 You have leveled up! 』
After slaying the 30th slimes, she had leveled up twice and straight to LV.8. She had only hunted the slimes when they were alone in the past, but now she could take them on 3vs1 and win easily. When her kill counts reached 20th, the rusty sword finally broke to the dust.
She was saddened by the lost for a moment before putting back her emotion under control. She had long prepared since the moment she found the sword, it was already very rusty, after all. It was already impressive for it to last so long until now. It was a pity now that she had acquired the skill, but the sword is no more.
She makes a small hole from digging using the half-broken sword and then, she put the broken sword inside and finally buried it. If only she had a big stone to be used as a gravestone for it, but sadly, there were none.
'If only I had something to mark its grave... sword-chan.' She thought in her mind but could only make do with making a small wall of sands surrounding it.
After that, she had to fight against ten more slimes with just her bare fists. She had managed to win all the fights due to the increased of her overall strength.
『 Monster Slayer(1) 』
『 Kill 40 Slimes. (30/40)
Reward: 100 EXP
Punishment upon failure: None 』
"Ten remaining..."
Sheila muttered tiredly, she feels like giving up anytime now. After losing the sword, the fight becomes tiresome, even with her increased in vitality. She required to move around much more than the time she had the sword in hands. And the only left in her inventory...
『 Inventory:
—A bottle of mineral water
—Snack
—Ice cream x2
—A box of Cookies 』
All her bread has completely eaten up along with two more bottles of mineral water and a snack. Why did she buy ice cream instead of something more filing? She very much wanted to slap the past her, but she could only sigh at the moment. I guess it is barely enough for the remaining ten slimes hunting; Sheila thought as she calculated in her mind.
"I'm only worried about being thirsty since I only have one bottle left."
Perhaps, she should slowly hunt the slime one by one which wouldn't take much of her energy than fighting against three slimes. She nodded her head at the idea and moved her body to the slime in the distance before coming to a halt.
"Oh, before that... Status."
『 Sheila LV.8 』
『 HP: 20/55 MP: 50/50
—STR: 18 —INT: 10
—AGI: 9 —VIT: 11
—LUCK: 10 AP: 10 』
Her MP stood still since she didn't have any skill that required it for now and the reason why she didn't put points in INT. She wishes that she could unlock either shop or lottery function anytime soon, but she didn't know what requirement does it needed for it to unlock. The shop probably sells some skill, and as for lottery, well, she had a bit of history with gacha. She wonders how was the drop rate goes, is it high or low?
"But I could only dream for now, huh."
She shrugged her shoulders before distributed half of the attribute points. The result was,
『 Sheila LV.8 』
『 HP: 20/70 MP: 50/50
—STR: 20 —INT: 10
—AGI: 9 —VIT: 14
—LUCK: 10 AP: 5 』
『 Due to the increased in strength reaching 20, You have acquired the skill: Lesser Strength LV.1! 』
『 Lesser Strength LV.1 』
『 Increased 5% in Attack & Reduce Damage Received by 5%. 』
"Nice! I knew that putting the point into strength is not wrong!"
Sheila beamed in happiness as a smile crept on her face at the sudden gained of another new skill. Now, including photographic memory and sportsmanship skill, she had acquired three skills. All three of them is very useful to the current her. She was now confident in beating the remaining ten slimes to oblivion.
She had wanted to laugh out loud but managed to hold it in. When she looked down, she noticed and feel like her legs have grown a bit longer, or was it her imagination? No, It has to be with the increased in strength and vitality, her body also took changed. She could even feel a bit of muscle in her upper arms.
"Forget it. I'll hunt the slime and finish the quest first."
***
『 You have completed the quest! 』
『 You have leveled up! 』
『 You can exit the Trial Tower, Do you wish to proceed? 』
『 Yes/No 』
"Phew~ Finally done for today."
Sheila let out a sigh of relief before drinking the remaining water left from the bottle.
Gulp! Haa~
"Now, let's leave."
Sheila muttered as she clicked on the 'yes' before disappearing entirely from the dungeon and appearing once again in her bedroom. She weakly lay down on the bed before rolling around while saying.
"So tired! Ah~"
Knock! Knock!
"Sheila, are you in there?"
Sheila immediately straight up her body and noticed that her mother was only knocking on the door and didn't come inside. Safe!
"Yes, Mom?"
"Your friend, Cilia and her mother have come for a visited. Aren't you going to come out and greet her?"
"Alright, Mom. But I need to take a bath first."
"It's okay, honey. Take your time but don't take too long, okay?"
"Okay!"
I'll put the problem aside, and for now, I'm going to take a warm bath before hanging out with Ria.
