Hello once again!, I saw early this morning that my chapter reached the weekly top 150 :D

I'm really happy about this as it gave me more motivation to make more chapter for you guys!

As I said last chapter, this arc is mainly about Nyorin.

Enjoy reading

Saladin's POV

It's been three days since I last fought that individual who tried to kill or assassinate me.

This past days was peaceful and nothing special occurred except for Muzaik mailing us that he already reached his family and will stay longer than planned.

Though I wondering on what happened to the devil voice named Vearli.

One of the days, I was curious and so checked if the assassin blond girl was still there but she wasn't.

Slowly and eventually, I forgot all about me being killed.

In this days, I spent most of the time training with Merdrek and reading books in the library.

You might be wondering as to why I'm reading books due to how it doesn't suit my personality.

Well you're right but it is something I must learn which all about the six continents in our world called 'Kyer'.

It gave me interesting details on geography of the world like for example, the continent I currently reside was once joined with three more ages ago.

There was less information on the dark continent called 'Valdraxian' which is one of the reasons why I would like to be an adventurer from a old ambition of mine.

Let's talk more about Merdrek's hellish training, he seemed to be working with my foot work the most while making my reactions much more sharp and keen.

He said that he will improve the way I move around in combat for this month.

After this training is completed by me mastering the foot work, he will give me a new one which was all about me being able to perfectly use my martial techniques.

Merdrek says that the training of martial arts will take at least eight months till I can be able to reach second tier completely.

So I asked of him to give me something that allows me to train while I'm, which he did by giving me a rough book filled with notes which contains information on how to reach tear two in martial arts.

Laura's training is showing progression as she is able to mend water to make any figure she likes.

Her instructor 'Thoroheind' was really impresses on how talented Laura is, as he says that she manage to do something which took him years to do.

Nyorin wasn't standing idly as she was practicing something which I would get completely destroyed if she masters it.

The art of 'Dual wielding' was what she is trying to pull of.

Though I told her that it was silly until she proved me wrong on how her attacks where fluently matched together.

Although she has a lot of openings, it could be fixed in due time.

Sometimes, I would ask professional connoisseurs to judge my cooking as to know if they are good so that I can improve my culinary skills.

Afternoons where usually consist of me hunting/capturing creatures for money so that I can purchase the well fair of the individuals in my room.

If you have forgotten already that I had a ring that magically brings out a great sword then I would not blame you as I never mentioned about it since that creature time.

The reason why I don't mention or use the ring was quite simple.

Every time I pull out the dark great sword, it seemed like I tend to lose consciousness and it takes... a little bit of my memory but I don't know what is it..

I noticed on how it was taking a toll by Nyorin mentioning that Kioni had blue eyes but when I try remembering, I only knew that she had black eyes...

Nyorin told me that both he and Laura manage to see Kioni's appearance one time when I was sleeping but this time they said she was crying horribly on my face...

My heart felt bad as to how I was living happily while Kioni waits for her revival...

I decided to move onwards and try taking on a labyrinth or dungeon by myself but Laura and Nyorin insisted in joining and couldn't stop them in doing so.

There was a lot of things that needed to be taken care of before venturing through something dangerous like a labyrinth/dungeon.

One thing for sure was that our gear must protect us from any sort of devastating attack.

While we must prepare items that will keep us safe from any sort of dire situation.

Healing scrolls were expensive but I purchased some, even if Laura knows how to heal, we just can't rely on her every time as she would get exhausted immediately.

Everything was prepared from our camping supplies to food spices/herbs which will last us for a good amount of time.

For meat, we would need to hunt nearby creatures or animals for it.

The last thing we need to prepare was our outfits which today is the day where I ask the tailor to make the set.

Laura told us that she will be returning to her inn for a quick visit which we complied and told her to stay safe.

I offered her the service of accompanying her which she refused with a blushed face.

Nyorin told me that she had something that only girls must know.

I didn't push the topic any further as they seemed to not want to talk about it.

There I was, sitting on a which I bought to suit my needs so that I can read this geography book peacefully.

Though peacefully was a wrong word as Nyorin and my mother where chatting while screeching sometimes on what seems to be stories of when I was small.

It was peaceful and wanted it to stay this way but I needed to do something about Kioni's revival.

Laura's POV

Today, I wanted to check the old lady in the inn as it had been a while since I chatted with her.

Though I had another important thing to purchase in a store.

It was something that is not allowed to be in Saladin's ears as it would be massively embarrassing for me.

After I greeted the old lady and had a nice chat with her on how I became in love with a certain some one, I then head towards the tailor shop only meant for women which the old lady pointed out for me.

When I entered it, I was greeted by a female vendor inside the tailor shop who then asked if she could help me.

"Yes, please..." - Me

I replied while having a slight blushed face as this is my first time asking for something regarding my undergarments to another person.

The vendor asked on what I would like to purchase, and I replied by saying that i need the proper undergarments that are suited for my growing body.

She gave me a long look and then headed towards me while checking my whole body...

The female vendor then grabbed something from what may be a box and handed it to me.

I noticed that we were not the only one in the shop as I can see a purple pinkish aura in my right.

The person then headed towards the vendor and told that she would like to purchase what she is carrying.

To bad that I can't see what I'm buying... though I don't mind as long as it's cute.

I asked if there are any cat like patterns which made both the ladies look at me while changing their aura's into more pinkish than usual.

The vendor turned and went to some where while searching for something.

The lady who had a purple aura was giving me something which seemed to be undergarments while she says 'here'.

I didn't forget my manners and told my name towards the purple aura lady which she replied with her named 'Sherah'.

Sherah was some what the quiet type as I try to talk to her about cats.

After a while, the vendor returned and handed me a box which she told me that the undergarments with cat pattern is inside.

Before I could pay the suited amount to the lady vendor, I was stopped by Sherah as she says that she will pay for it.

I didn't want that to happen, but was insisted and couldn't help but give my gratitude towards her.

I smiled towards both of them while bidding my farewell and decided to head back to the inn.

It was a nice day as I walk towards the inn.

Saladin's POV

Hmm, Hmm.

I'm currently looking at my mother who seemed to be floating.

You might be asking as to why the randomness was real in this mere few minutes, well I can have a good explanation for that.

As you know already that I am half Dwarmura while the other half being human, So I asked my mother who is a full fledged one to show some perks for my blood.

So right now my mother is floating in thin air which made me and Nyorin have a expression of awe.

I asked if I can perform the same what she did, but was replied with a 'no' unless I focus solely in training my dwarmura blood.

My mother told us that she could show us more if she wasn't exhausted from reading constantly yesterday all night.

Afterwards, both me and Nyorin decided to spar as it has been a while.

We were now behind the inn on the open grass field with a large tree on the very corner of the surrounding fences.

It was a nice sunny day which was perfect for any outdoor activity.

The buzzing of insects while the chirps of newly birthed birds makes the experience completely vivid as if this was a scene in one of my dreams.

I was now standing with my wooden sword and was in front of Nyorin while I count the timer on which we will start when it reaches zero.

When the I mentioned the number zero, Nyorin disappears and appears in front of me.

She then wings her sword in a 90 degree angle from the bot to the top.

I barely dodged as I didn't know her speed increased this dramatically.

Then I lunged my sword towards her chest area, which she moved to the left and grabbed hold to my wooden sword.

I was expecting for her to grab hold to it as I kick my foot towards my wooden sword making her hand let go of it as the sword flies up to the air.

By moment I kicked the sword, I already jumped upwards and spun my body in a 360 degree cycle while using the momentum and propulsion to kick Nyorin.

She blocked the kick with her wooden sword, but was idiotic as the top of the sword broke and flew away.

Nyorin leaped backwards while looking at me with what seems to be admiration but quickly turned back to her serious one.

She then looked at her only hilt sword and averted her eyes towards me, telling me that why did I have to that.

The wooden sword I kicked before, was dropped from the sky as it took time from the force I placed on kicking the sword.

I grabbed it before it has a chance to touch the ground and point it towards Nyorin.

There was one thing that troubled me, and that was Nyorin's smirk.

She then what seemed to have made her broken wooden sword into a brand new one but this time made out of light to replace the missing blade.

Nyorin then charges towards me while zig zagging left and right.

It was hard to predict on where she would go and decided to make a horizontal swing as it can hit right and left.

I lost as before I could swing, Nyorin was already behind me while indicating that the sharp made of light blade was near my throat.

I dropped my sword and admitted my lost, though instead of becoming unhappy, I was actually feeling exited as I can strive for a goal and that is beating Merdrek and Nyorin.

We were smiling after we finished battling, though she was adorably asking if she had hurt me which I replied happily with a 'No'

It was a good day.

For lunch, we ate after Laura returned with a box while having a red face as she looks at me.

Nyorin was excited and dragged Laura inside the bathroom while locking it completely.

'Don't tell me... they really are having a..., never mind' - My thoughts

Afterwards, I visited the library so that I can find a book about conquering labyrinths/dungeons.

I was lucky that I found a book which supplied me with lots of information.

Sorry about it being a short chapter as I have tons of exams to partake...
