Starting My New Life As An Adventurer
a suspicious surprise?
(Day 11 to 20)
My development in the next ten days was very noticeable. There are not many surprising things I can tell you.
Therefore, I will summarize everything here.
On the 14th day I got a big stat bonus along with +1 skill points. On the 17th day some of my skills improved.
- HP: +30
-MP:+18
- Stamina: +20
- Damage: +10
- Speed: +10
The skills that leveled up were samurai and lung. They both went up to level II. Their effects increased by 5%.
Lastly, after a grueling workout, last night, right on the twentieth day of practice I finally managed to master the kamaitachi!
After I successfully made a contract with the wind spirit and ten days of balance and strength training finally the wind slash skill was listed on my skill list and I was instantly able to use it.
Yuki-san and I were very happy because she said that she managed to master it faster than expected. He said he thought it would take me thirty full days to master it, and it was still fast.
Grandpa and especially sister Kiara are so proud of me, we talked a lot last night and laughed together at dinner. Although at the end of our dinner I saw grandfather and Yuki whispering something that unfortunately I did not hear. It's late and tomorrow we have to train again, that's how I think.
....
(Day 21)
This morning I woke up feeling excited, I want to quickly train with Yuki-san.
This morning I woke up feeling excited, I want to quickly train with Yuki-san.
"Notifications, you men..." The sound of the iris already greeted me with her notifications.
"Eh, um the notification will be yes iris at this time I'm no longer in the mood."
I rushed to prepare for the rehearsal, I felt today I would learn something, that is how I thought up to when grandfather arrived calling all of us.
...
"What is this cake? We're going to practice." I came to him and answered him with a cynical face.
"Hei Hikaru how about you don't have to practice today? I want to take you all somewhere?" Grandfather replied to me while preparing the horse carriage that was in front of our house.
Grandpa doesn't usually take me and even we all go for a walk, instead of thinking bad but sometimes grandfather does silly and annoying things so I have to be vigilant.
"Isn't that Hikaru's good idea? Sometimes we need to take a break." Yuki-san also persuaded me.
Suspicious as well, what are they trying, what are they planning.
"But Yuki-san, I'm actually in the spirit of training." I subtly rejected it.
"Hikaru, let's go!"
Yuki instantly pulled my arm and jumped into the carriage.
That way I, my grandfather, Yuki, Kiara climbed into the horse carriage that was in front of the house. As planned. Well, okay, I'll follow them. Now I am curious too.
(In the horse-drawn carriage)
We all sat quietly looking at the scenery along the way without anyone talking about where we were going.
" cake, where are we really going?" I asked him in annoyance.
"We'll be there soon, wait a minute. Oh yeah, how was your training?"
*Bruhh
"grandfather even shifted the topic. But so far I've mastered kamaitachi." I answered arrogantly.
" Heh.. Great also yes master the skill at the age of 9 years, grandfather mastered the skill at the age of 15 years old. And actually it's still including fast."
"I'll teach Hikaru a lot after this." Yuki smiled back at grandfather.
" No, no, this is because of Yuki-san's easy-to-understand teaching."
*rekk
(The horse-drawn carriage stopped).
"All right, we've arrived."
Grandpa got off and sidestepped his chariot.
We all got off our horse-drawn carriage. When I saw the scenery did not change, the atmosphere was still crowded and alive, grandfather took us to the center of the village, I have not been here for a long time.
"Let's come with me." Grandfather invited us all and we held hands in the crowd.
...
After walking for a while.
"Wahh this is uncle's gun shop that used to give me a wooden sword."
" Oyey, mitsuya! You inside?" Grandfather entered the store and greeted the shop owner's uncle.
I just found out uncle's name was mitsuya, sounding pretty slang. Even though honestly a bit does not fit with his slightly fat body.
"Hey! turns out Rondo was an old friend. What are you doing here, Captain? Are you going to buy a new sword?"
I immediately came to interrupt their conversation and also greeted the uncle.
"Hi uncle, do you remember me? Uncle once gave me a wooden sword and told me about the lozagon town."
"ooh the child is lost. How's it going? Have you decided to go on an adventure?"
"Hehe, I've decided. I'm practicing the sword right now." I smiled as I rubbed my head behind me.
"Hahaha good good." The uncle put his thumb in front of me
...
...
I looked around the shop, After I saw again this place was bigger than I remembered, and it was also a bit crowded right now
"This is my grandson Hikaru, do you know him mitsuya?" Grandpa introduced me again in front of the shopkeeper.
"What a coincidence, this kid once got lost and he went to this store."
"This uncle told me many things and about history and adventure."
"So you told him about adventurers, but it's good that you know each other. It'll be easier." Grandfather added
"Easier? What's for?" I answered in wonder.
"Today you will have your own sword." Yuki replied with a smile.
"Haahhh, why is it suddenly like this?, I mean I'm a little surprised."
"No, actually any disciple who can master Kamaitachi will be given a sword for himself."
"Now choose which one you like, Rondo-ji seems to have talked to the shop owner so you better choose an expensive and good sword." Yuki looked down and whispered to me
"Oi, I still hear it." Grandfather immediately responded to Yuki's whisper.
"Good rondo-ji."
"Heart in the way of the captain!" The shop owner's uncle waved to grandfather.
...
"I wonder why uncle calls grandfather captain?"
"Oh, when I was an adventurer we were on the same mission, he was the captain so I kept calling him that." The uncle replied.
"By the way, what kind of sword do you want?"
"Because I'm currently studying samurai techniques, it's probably best for a katana. But is there such a child size?"
"I think you better get used to an adult size katana. Because sword forgers are very rare or never even make good swords for children to wear. Your skills are not enough with a katana like that." Yuki replied to me with advice.
"I think it's true too, please bring me your uncle's best adult-size sword."
"Well wait a minute, I'll get you some of my katanas."
The uncle went to pick up some katanas on display, he also went into his warehouse.maybe he took ten katanas, or maybe eleven.
"Well this is it, is there anything you like?" He put his katana-katana on the meta and we sat in the chair around the table.
"These katanas are good enough, did anything catch your attention?" Yuki asked me while looking at the details of each katana.
"Hmm, just give me a minute."
I pretend to look at each katana and talk to the iris.
"Hey Iris, do you think there's a good sword among this katana?" I asked him directly.
"Jawab, nothing is too interesting, the quality of this katana katana is good but that's it."
Good quality but ordinary yes, actually I think for someone who is new to training it is not too much problem but if only I could get a slightly unique katana I would also not refuse. Because when I was told that I would get my own sword I slightly wished it had superpowers such as being able to let out fire.
Well but something like that can't possibly exist huh...
*Cling cling (sound of shop doorbell opening)
"Excuse me, I came to deliver a katana order ordered by this store" a courier came and walked into the store.
That's my order, wait a minute. Oh yes Hikaru, continue choosing your katana. I'll be back again." the shop owner's uncle stood up and immediately rushed forward."
"Please look and make sure the katana." The courier took down all the many wooden barrels containing katanas from a cart pulled by a donkey.
"Well this corresponds to ten barrels. Thanks, this is the money." He gave some money and brought in his katana katana.
"Thank you..." The courier left.
"Notification, it seems I felt an interesting air from one of the katanas that had just been brought into the store." Iris suddenly spoke.
"You mean the swords there? I pointed towards the barrel that the shop owner's uncle was carrying.
"yes, right." Iris confirmed
"All right." I immediately stood up and headed towards the katana that had just arrived at the store.
"What's there is also an uncle's katana?" I approached the shop owner's uncle and saw a new katana up until this.
"Oh this, this is an old katana or former. This sword is no better than I showed you." The shop owner's uncle replied.
"Which one did you say pulled Iris?"
"The one there, who had a black sheath with ornaments. In the third barrel from the left."
"May I see that sword uncle?" He pointed at the sword that was mentioned by the iris.
"More." The shop owner's uncle took the katana and gave it to me.
"Can you analyze this sword iris?" I positioned this katana near my eyes.
"Doing analysis..."
"It seems that this sword will give something after being used by its owner in some time, but what it will give and how long it will take to activate that power I haven't been able to analyze it at my system level right now." Iris answered.
"The mysterious Skill, it looks interesting. Uncle, did you sell this katana?"
"Yes, I sold it anyway, do you like that katana?"
"Yes I want this one, is it okay Yuki-san?"
"Choose as you please."Yuki-san just smiled and agreed to my choice.
"Katana it's been a while, don't you have a problem with that?" The shop owner's uncle warned me.
"No problem, I love this katana."
"Hmm, but why do you want this katana?" My uncle was amazed at my choice.
"I don't know, I guess I just love that sword." I just answered like that. I can't say I heard a whisper from a creature in my head.
Of course the shop owner's uncle was confused. But he doesn't seem to care much either
"Well whatever, some say that the sword and its owner are connected through instinctual feelings or something. All right I'll polish it a little, it'll make it a little shiny. But try not to hit him too hard. If this breaks it might take a week to fix."
"One Week? Why so long?"
I was surprised to hear that
"Fixing a sword does take a long time, especially for the type of katana that belongs to the category of thin swords, so try not to be too often damaged, but should be used normally will not matter."
*Cling cling
"I'm back, have you chosen a katana that you like Hikaru?" Grandpa went in with kiara
"Yes, I've chosen what I like"
"Now, practice hard." The uncle gave me his polished sword.
"Thank you uncle." I bow in gratitude.
"How do you like your katana?" Grandpa asked me.
"I like it, thanks to the cake."
"From now on our training will be more serious do not play the game."
"Okay Yuki-san, thank you for helping me find my katana too."
"Ehem.. well, for the payment let's discuss now yes captain hehehe." Mitsuta immediately held onto grandfather's shoulder.
"good as well."
"Don't pretend to be stupid, captain, it's cheap."
"Aren't there any old friends discounts, um my salary was spent on sake yesterday."
"Just pay the captain."
"All right..."
My newly polished Katana is paid off, Grandpa's a little moody after paying him anyway.
When we got home, Kak Kiara immediately prepared the food she had just bought and we ate dinner together voraciously in the dining room together
