《The hopeless student in another world》Chapter 8

Decision
Lana Rose, a foxkin, beings like humans with the exception of the fox ears instead of human ears.
They are a race that are naturally good at magic that uses spirits, or spirit magic.
Spirit magic.
A form of magic that uses spirits that are said to be beings that have influence over phenomena.
They can be thought of as beings in another classification rather than animals, plants, fungus and so on.
They have influence over basic elements such as wind, earth, water, fire, dark, light and more, similar to the magic system of humans.
As they are a different type of life form, Foxkin's are not born with them, they either tame them or spirits just come to them.
Most beings like humans cant see them, but foxkin's are one of the exceptions.
They are one of many races at war with the other.
Their homeland, the Foxkin continent, is east of the human continent.
Foxcrown, the capital state of the foxkin continent is Lana's home.
Why Lana was a slave?
It was not because war has reached their capital.
It was because Lana ran away to avoid being conscripted to the army.
But their army did not just conscript everyone, there were requirements.
These were:
Not having enough to pay the war taxes or not being in employment or being under average in spirit magic.
Lana was of course unable to pay the taxes, or in employment but also bad at spirit magic.
Her choices was being in the front lines as a foot soldier or a prisoner.
Wanting to avoid that, she planned on going to a rumoured place that was free from the government near the border of the human and foxkin territory but, it turned out to be a trap made by human slave traders.
After that, she was bought by greedy human adventurers that used her as monster bait.

This happened two years ago when she was fifteen that was the foxkin legal age for being an adult.
Now she was free because a monster took pity on her, giving her some of its powers.
She did not reject it as she was weak before and could now probably use it to see her family again.
Basically her powers were very similar to poison ivy.
Control bees, summon vines, plant communication, able to use powers of other treant types.
Like the treant that used poison.
In front of her was a human who introduced himself as Kenshin.
The person who single handedly defeated all of the treants defences.
She knew this because she was able to see the giant treants memories.
Now she was wary because he did not kill her but chose to wake her up.
Questions were piling up on her mind and when she was going to ask him a question
"I need you to do something for me."(Kenshin)
He told her in an apathetic tone.
"!, I- I .....o-okay!....." (Lana)
She thought about refusing first but even with her newly found powers, there was this mysterious person who was able to defeat the army of wasps.
She did not know what would have happened if she refused.
Finally being free and dying after. That would not have been funny.
"You can refuse."(Kenshin)
She opened her mouth to refuse but
"But I don't think you have any choice."(Kenshin)
"Huh!? What are you talking about?"(Lana)
"Dont panic but there are soldiers who are probably waiting for their Commander outside the dungeon. And if you think you can take them, there are summoned heroes" (Kenshin)
"Y-you mean there are human heroes here with us!? Those rumored heroes that has got extraordinary powers!?"(Lana)
"I plan on finding out what was in the bottom of this dungeon and get out of this place. That why I need you to fight with me"(Kenshin)

Of course, now that the danger has passed, he's now able to escape but because of these reasons, its off the to do list.
"I will be in your care!" (Lana)
Still quite fearful of him she shouted.
"But first, you have to control your powers first but I trust you will be able to better control it during our advance, right?" (Kenshin)
"I will try my best! A-also im sorry about you know, the stabbing and stuff...." (Lana)
She says, while touching her index fingers together.
".........................................................................................Don't worry" (Kenshin)
Lana had cold sweat after a long pause from Kenshin, that most likely implied he probably minded it.

56th floor
It was a smaller floor, similar to the 55th floor, it had a glowing ceiling that provided light like moonlight.
There was also new types of trees here that reached 20 meters. It was similar to cherry trees but had flowers with green petals.
Surprisingly some trees had fruit growing from them, similar to mangoes but it was blue and had an orange like skin.
Why were there petals when there is no sunlight?
The glow of the ceiling might have got something to do with it like it might be photosynthesis or it might have been camouflage for the 1 meter Giant spiders that live on top.
They were camouflaged either to hide from prey to attack or hide from the 3 meter giant lizards that crawled along the ceiling.
"Lana, I need you to fight them, I'm going to prepare dinner and some other stuff so at least take out 9/10 of them that are around here."(Kenshin)
(Lana)"9/10th!? Wh-"
"Oh and do it while using weapons of your preference, dont use your powers from the treant. Only use it for defence to work on controlling your powers."(Kenshin)
"What!? I did tell you that I am only a level 5 right? Thats impossible, how can i take out almost all of them without attacking with my new power? Thats like telling you to kill almost all of them without your equipment!"(Lana)
"Its not impossible, its just extremely hard."(Kenshin)
"Hmmpf, i told you it-..... Where are you going!?" (Lana)
Kenshin had taken off everything except his clothes and he ran straight to the woods.
"There's no time. They're heading here! My weapons are defective, so take care of them!" (Kenshin)
The first monster that attacked him was a 1 meter long, green tarantula like spider.
Kenshin already perceived the spider so he was prepared.
The spider jumped at him from the tree tops but Kenshin manipulated it using its center of gravity to redirect it to crash to a tree nearby using his hands and body rotation.
The technique didn't require much strength.
Of course, its supposed to be against human attackers but Kenshin only needed to use the principals of the technique to adapt it to his target.
The spider didn't die though but it was now unable use its legs properly.
Kenshin used this type of countering to defeat the 9/10 in the floor.
It took him an hour to beat the hundred of tarantula like spiders.
When Kenshin came back, he was covered in bruises here and there because the techniques he used required body contact.
A stuttering Lana was looking from above on a platform made by vines.

Journeys in the Fairworld: The Gatekeeper
Lindsey Fluger was only slightly past eighteen. There was nothing particularly special about her, save that she happened to be the right person at the right time. When Lindsey is asked to join an expedition to another world she makes the mistake of saying yes, plunging herself into a sea of perilous adventure and dark intrigue.

These mysterious entities work in secret to keep the peace between the myriad of peoples and nations which dwell in The Fairworld. Complex relationships and bitter rivalries emerge against a backdrop of constrained resources and conflicting values to produce a world of high adventure and tangled mysteries. This novel is technically already completed, and I am currently in the final stages of proofing or editing. As such, there may be a few typos and errors here and there. The final version should be about 130,000 words long, which I will be releasing in stages as I continue editing. I'd love to hear your feedback and comments!

This isn't my first attempt at writing a story, and it isn't even my first attempt at writing this particular story, but I'm not in any way what I would call "experienced". I decided to upload my writing here because I just wanted to get my ideas out there, and I wanted to get some constructive criticism for my writing from the RRL community. All comments are welcome, but please try to keep them positive and constructive! If you leave a rating, I would appreciate it if you left a short explanation of what you liked and what I can improve on. I'll be uploading each chapter as I finish them, but this is still the first draft so anything and everything is subject to change. The cover art is drawn by me, but I'm in no way married to it. I just wanted something that showed the three magical sources, as I picture them in my head. If you do any art based on this story, send it to me! I would love to see it. I'll stop talking now, I hope you enjoy the story!
