Starting My New Life As An Adventurer
Yuki VS Hikaru's
(Day 22)
"System, you managed to improve one of your skills following the details."
system III: now I can answer the more difficult question, Addition :
-Memory (+) : now you can order me to remember something or as a reminder.
- Analysis (+) : now I can analyze more complicated things
" You also get +1 skill points as a bonus."
Just waking up like this has been greeted with iris notification. So this is what he wanted to say last night.
But I don't feel like I have 10 skills on my skill list now. Yes, although most of the effects are still garbage.
"Hey Iris, I'd like to ask. I saw there were two new skills as well but beside him there was a '+' sign like that. Can you explain?"
"Jawab, the two skills that you see are additional skills or derived skills that come from your unique skills. You can also distinguish it by the sign '+' next to its name."
"Every unique skill has a chance to get a derived skill. That's also the difference between unique skill and ordinary skill."
"Although it is said to be a derivative skill, but this skill is listed in the skill list and also counted as one skill. So, with the addition of 2 derivative skills you now have 12 skills."
"That means 3 more skills and the system level will rise to level four. Eh oiya looks like you said I got another skill point, I wonder how many skill points I have now."
"Jawab, right, and right now you have a total of ten skill points."
"I think ten points can give you something better than my one point you recommended first. Let's listen to his recommendations. What can I get with 10 skill points?." I've been sitting and waiting for a recommendation from the iris.
"Well, here's my recommendation" iris displayed some skills in my mind.
- Trinitys: technique 3 consecutive slashes, (Cost: 7)
- Conqueror: disabling low-class cars that are around.
(max\=3 mob, 1x a day), (cost\=9).
- Plug: enter anger mode, increase all stat by 20% for 1 minute, (max\= 1x a day)
(Cost\=9)
- Direwolf: call a direwolf who will fight with you for 1 minute. (Max\= 1x a day) (cost\=10).
Woah, 3 consecutive slashes. This skill I think is very useful in the crowd. Conqueror is very practical, I can directly subvert low-grade monsters in front of me. Fidgeting is suitable for fierce combat and a direwolf can be as a support or distraction when blurred. Right now I've been thinking about all sorts of combos that I can do like fantasy games even though I haven't exchanged skill points.
"I think I'd better get a conqueror. The skill was very practical and also if one day I was desperate and could kill a low-class creature I might be able to scare the rest and avoid an unnecessary fight."
"But before that this is not an option that can be chosen when you just wake up. Looks like I also have to see for myself all the things other than the recommendation Iris gave me. Who knows if he missed something good."
"True, I also recommend that you do not hunt too much in choosing skills, Skills will determine how your fighting style will be in the future. And also of course if you save more you will get skills that may be stronger than the current one." Iris added.
"I think so, thanks for the information Iris is there again?"
"No, that's all for this time. Then the notification is over."
"Well, it's time to stand up and get ready for practice." I stood up and came out of the room.
"Good morning Hikaru." Kiara and Yuki who were cooking in the kitchen greeted me with their delicate voices.
"Good morning nee-san and yuki-san."
"Are you hungry? Wait a minute, breakfast's gonna be ready."Kiara asked me while cooking our breakfast.
"No, I'm going to take a shower first, where my grandfather didn't see it."
"Mr Rondo might be in the bathroom, I think he's done soon. Come after the shower, breakfast will be ready."
"Alright, thanks nee-san."
I immediately went to take a shower, or as it should be, but it seems like my bath has to be postponed for a while.
*creek creek
"Eh, the door is locked." I tried to pull the bathroom door.
*Tok tock, please,
"What are you inside?"
"Uurrghh, Hikaru don't bother me just yet. I'm having a stomachache." Grandfather replied in a very limp tone.
"Huh..take it old man, you don't seem to be aware of your age yet."
"uklurghhh, arrghh....." A disgusting voice that you must have understood
Yes, by the way, last night Grandpa came home late drunk, he said that his defense commander brought sake so he drank some. But looking at his face I'm sure he drank a full bottle. Now he will go through the long torment he must pay for his stupidity, in the toilet.
"Bruh I think I went to the kitchen to help nee-san, it seems like grandfather's torment is still a long time away." I left Grandpa in the bathroom."
"Hikaru, why haven't you taken a shower?" Kiara asked me who came back from the bathroom.
"Grandfather is wearing his bathroom so it seems like I'm helping you guys, can I help you?"
"Then get used to it you help me cut these vegetables? But be careful with the knife." Kiara gave him the knife to me
"Just calm nee-san, I'm a samurai. It's an easy task."
...
After Kiara and Yuki finished cooking the three of us had breakfast together at the dining table in the middle of the kitchen. And finished our breakfast grandfather came out of the bathroom with a state like his soul was already out of his body.His face looked very pale, terrible at all.
"Thank you for the food, it's time for me to take a shower." I left the dining table.
"I will also prepare the goods. Hikaru, once you're ready we'll practice right away." Tuki said and stood up leaving the dining table.
"Yuki-san."
...
Shortly after all the preparations were finished we went to the Prairie for training.
"Huhhhhhhhhhhh... The air is fresh." I breathe a deep breath while warming up
"This time we'll try something different. Because your progress is fast enough this time we'll do battle practice." Yuki had already prepared and tied his sword sheath to his waist.
"Fight? You mean we both fought with swords?"
"Yes, I think you should also learn a real fight once in a while."
"But I think it's too soon and I can't match you yet"
"Look, I'll use the back of my katana, so even if it doesn't bleed. And besides you don't have to win, you just have to learn. That's far more important than victory."
"Sounds pretty reasonable and reasonable now. Well, if Yuki-san insists, it seems like I have no other choice either."
"As if my spirit knew you could."
"But shouldn't we just use a wooden sword? Using a real sword feels a little dangerous."
"No, wear the real one. I can still keep an eye on you and I think in this way I think you'll quickly understand."
"Alright then, let's do it" I put up the fighting horses.
"Position is good, but remember not to be too stiff so later you can be injured."
Yuki-san is also ready with her horses.
"Alright the rules are like this, who can land 1 attack on the body of his opponent he who wins. You don't have to hold back, let me. Take out all your abilities"
"One only? It's less challenging." I answered less satisfied.
"The attack of a samurai was intended to be fatal. One attack that can bring the enemy to death. And don't think landing an attack would be that easy."
"Sorry, well I understand" I strengthened my battle stance
"Yes I'm ready!"
*Whuuushh he ran, every step felt very neat, turned and jumped very smooth like a stream of water.
*Tingg (the sound of two irons being struck simultaneously), the collision between 2 pieces of my sword and yuki, it felt not as heavy as when I was fighting grandfather. It was clear that Yuki-san was holding back. It seems I have to be serious if I want to make it even more serious as well.
"warning, your chest will be attacked, dodging!" The sound of iris suddenly sounded in my head.
"uhuh?"
*Whusssh.... Slashh, quickly Yuki-san finally slashed at me at the da...
But because of the warning from the iris I managed to dodge in time. That was true almost.
"Hmm good too, how about this one."
"warning, your right shoulder!"
*Whusshhh
*Tingg, I managed to fend off his attack again with my sword. It seems like iris can be very useful in combat.
*step step
Me and Yuki stayed away taking a safe distance
"Yes good, like that."Yuki-san.
"This time let me attack!"
"Come here!"
"Yuki's individual right side showed a gap, suggested attack from there."
*Whuuushh, I ran in the direction that the iris indicated
"This is it, kamaitachi!
*Ting Ting Ting!!!
All three of my attacks were repelled.
"Still not!, Kamaitachi!
*Thing Ting....
"It seems you're excited." Yuki continued to fend off my attacks.
I continued to attack him with vigor, I kept seeing him smile while fending off my attacks. It seems like we both feel the same about this.
Yeah, it's fun.
*Tigggh....
Our katana clashed quite strongly and produced a loud sound.
*Step step
Again, we took a safe distance.
"Well, consider this the last one, if you can fend off this one you won."
"Yoshaahhhhhhh!"
*Step step
Yuki-san ran after me in a running position and her sword was pulled parallel to her chest....
A very familiar movement, as if I had seen it. Oh yea! Grandpa surrashu-geri's movement. All right I can do it!
As Yuki-san ran over, realizing that I had prepared my horse to fend off the attack, she must have realized that I had seen this technique before. It was not that he changed his technique, he instead ran faster, faster, and the same movement after this.....
*Thinnggggg, I managed to withstand the first attack of this move.
The vibration was incredible, it felt like I was going to drop this sword. But this is not done, after this is a kick!
*whuushh.... I managed to dodge the kick by turning my body to the side.
"Haha, I'm huffing..."
*Tackk, Yuki-san hit my head with the back of her katana.
"Aaargghhhh, akhitt. Why is there a next attack instead of just 2 strikes."
"Huh, I've guessed you've seen this technique before. Where'd you see it?" Yuki entered the katana.
"From grandpa."
"Oh yeah of course, anyways rondo-ji taught me this technique."
"Aduhduhduhduh, yes although the back of the sword is not sharp but if struck with an iron bar on the head still hurts."
"Actually you are not wrong, if you have seen the attack before then you will know that it is an automatic skill. It can't be undone and it can't be replaced."
"Keep how can yuki-san add one more move? Shouldn't we stop after using the automatic skill and then attack again?"
"Yes right, whatever the condition when we use automatic attack skills we are obliged to stop for a moment. But that one I didn't use any skills at all."
"Huhuh? Not using skills? You mean it's a move you make with your mind."
"Hihihi, I had expected Hikaru to be deceived. That's why I did it without skill. And it really doesn't make any difference at all." Yuki laughed softly.
"But if it makes no difference at all why is there such a skill?"
"Hmm, the use of the skill is easy, especially the automatic skill. If you make the move without skill you risk falling because of the improper position, or maybe the speed is not right."
"But with skill he instantly made your body position perfect for his movements."
"Yuki-san, you have to teach me that technique.."
"Hehe, as soon as you beat me."
"Is it still continuing?"
"Of course, it's only been once."
"Alright let's do it once la..." I made the horse position my hold on again when suddenly my sword cracked and and just crumbled and scattered on the ground.
"Aahhhhhhh! My sword!!!" I screamed in surprise.
"That was broken to pieces...."
Yuki only replied with a completely flat face and voice.
"How is Yuki-san? My katana's falling apart."
(Yuki was confused)
"Well, I don't know either. At this point it is impossible to repair a puck-headed katana like this."
"Our training was a bit rough, but if something like that your katana can't handle it means from the beginning the katana you choose is very old and dull."
"What about our training?"
"I only brought 1 katana today. I think we're just doing physical exercise."
"Yuki-san"
Our push-ups, sit-ups, squats do a wide variety of physical exercises until the time comes home. My sword broke apart and I gathered the scattered pieces on the ground.
We went home, grandfather just laughed to see her and Kiara nee-san encouraged me not to be too sad.
