Adam looked at his map to work out what to do with the rest of his afternoon. He couldn't go back into the forest with no SP to activate stealth and couldn't practice magic with no MP. With little else to do and question he wanted answering in the back of his head he jogged to the mine.

It was an enjoyable experience after the physical stress of sneaking through the forest mental fatigue of enhancing his fire mana channels. All the tension in his body had gone by the time he reached the entrance to the mine. He was also no longer afraid of the spiders realising that despite the intensity of the fight he had never checked his HP after. The details were still there in his log. He had lost ten points in total and had ninety spare. While he felt like it was life or death it seemed that wasn't really the case and if he had run away he would have been fine.

Activating torch twice with the SP that had built up Adam entered the mine. He moved quickly down into the depths aiming for the first side tunnel. Placing one torch he threw the second down the main branch and was rewarded with a glimpse of a cave spider scuttling back away into the darkness. His hunch was right, the spiders had returned. He had wondered this when he noticed the Mine, entrance was still labelled as level 2.

Curiosity and a hope for some easy experience he picked up both torches and continued down into the mine; the spider keeping ahead of him out of the light. He hadn't wanted to waste any mana on Discern but the skill was locked to the boar still so he focused on the spider to allow him to locate the others too. By the time he reached the last fork in the tunnel four spiders were gathered outside the light. Waving both torches in front of him he made his way towards the nest at the end of the tunnel.

The Queen spider was in the nest along with most the smaller cave spiders. They were losing their fear of the fire in place of a need to protect their home. As the Queen started to respond to his presence he threw one of the torches into the flammable webbing he knew existed further down the tunnel. If it had been anything other than spiders he might have felt more guilty as he ran back out of the mine; not stopping until he reached the entrance again. The hissing Queen had chased him most the way. A flaming fury that fell behind as he distanced himself from the nest.

Four spiders down he didn't have any desire to go back in the mine. Especially not with a pissed off Queen Cave Spider waiting somewhere. He found himself leant back against the rocks next to the mine once more for the second day in a row. With an additional forty exp he increased Elemental manipulation to level four and was one step closer to reaching his goal of increasing God class.
