"Luciaaaa~"
Running towards Lucia and Ivy closing in from the distance, Poe soon got down on the ground and started begging Lucia for food.
"Luciaaa~ fooooood~"
Seeing a wild Poe suddenly appearing in front of her just to beg for food, did indeed surprise Lucia, but after thinking for a while, she realized that Poe most likely had no money. Meaning Poe had no way to get food.
"Sure! Let's go get something to eat now! How about we go to the flying kitten?"
Quickly realizing what to do, Lucia started dragging Poe with her in the direction of the flying kitten.
Poe also realized that he was going to get something to eat, so life slowly returned to him, as he made his way towards the flying kitten together with Lucia.
Ivy looked around a little shocked and slowly realized her situation, if she was not wrong Lucia forgot about her and left her standing alone in the cold outside the sleeping quarters.
Everyone would get a little sad if their sister suddenly forgot them, just to go out and get something to eat, but Ivy was a special case. Instead of getting sad, she just started grinning to herself as she turned to follow her sister and Poe.
"Hehe~ Poe~"
She was most definitely a special case among special cases!
Soon enough, Poe and Lucia was outside the flying kitten, Poe finally looked normal, if you did not count the excited look on his face.
"Okay, let's get something to eat!"
"Oooooh!"
Poe let out a little cheer as he put his hands into the air to show his support, as they entered the flying kitten, Poe and Lucia soon sat at a table the same place they were last time.
Coincidence or not, the one who greeted them and showed them to their table was none other than Cecilia.
After ordering some food, Ivy soon showed up and joined them, while they were waiting for their food, Poe decided to inspect them to see how far they progressed since they went out hunting for monsters in the morning.
[Lucia, human earth mage, lvl 17]
Lucia went up 2 levels, that could be counted as normal and there was not surprise there, the surprise was from Ivy's progress…
[Ivy, human fire ???, lvl 21]
[Titles: Fire ???; Grand Pervert; Titan Slayer; Scarlet Devil Queen; ???]
She surpassed level 20; in a training ground where the strongest monster was at level 20… and the system made a question mark where her class should be… it looked like even the system thought something was wrong, even her former fire lord title changed into something else…
Before the food came, Poe decided to ask Ivy about it.
"I-Ivy, what happened to your class? I-It changed into fire ???"
Hearing Poe talk to her without being forced to by the situation, Ivy got happy and answered Poe's question with a splendid smile on her lips.
"The system said I reached the requirements for my class to rank up. The reason that it is displayed as [fire ???], is that it will take a few more days for it to finish~"
Listing to Ivy's explanation Poe understood it, he also discovered classes could rank up and after asking Lucia about it, he found out that a class could supposedly rank up infinitely, as long as some hidden requirements was fulfilled. A class could rank up until it reached the legendary level. After that, a class rank up would not give you more stat points per level, but instead give you stronger skills. The only stat that would be possible to increase was the lifespan stat.
"By the way, why can't I see the lifespan stat?"
"Ah, that is because it is a hidden stat, you will only be able to see it after you gain a class or skill that increases it."
Hearing this, Poe suddenly thought of something else and decided to ask Lucia about it.
"W-wait… If lifespan is a hidden stat are there other hidden stats?"
"Indeed there are other hidden stats. One of the most well know is Charm. Apparently most girls unlock that stat after they reach level 20… Other than that, there is the rage stat, which is mostly unlocked for warriors having a berserker class or path, it supposedly lowers intelligence and wisdom, but increases the strength and vitality stat, while also giving pain resistance. There are of course a few rumored stats, an example is the other emotion stats like love, greed and so on, if rage is there, then what about the other emotions? Sadly, only the rage stat have been unlocked so far, so it's a mystery whether the others really exist or not. The last is the soul stat, but I don't know whether that is real or not. From what I heard you need to reach level 100 to unlock it…"
Listing to Lucia's explanation, Poe got a little tired, but that tiredness soon disappeared, as he saw Cecilia coming over with his food from the distance.
Poe started eating and so did Lucia and Ivy, soon they had eaten and stood outside the flying kitten.
"Ahhh~ that was good~"
Poe said, as he let out a satisfied breath.
"True, but it have already gotten dark! Let's return to the sleeping quarters, we can hunt monsters tomorrow or do you still have some training to do Poe?"
"No~ I'm ready, so are we going to the time tunnel tomorrow?"
"YES! The other monsters was excessively weak~ and I heard that the strongest monsters at this training ground was in there, some even said there was a chance monsters over level 20 appeared. The reason the guild allowed for that was that it is almost impossible to change the nature of a time tunnel… That is also why they recommend for people to be level 20 before going."
Instead of Lucia answering, it was Ivy, who even explained about the time tunnel. Not very Ivy like, but maybe she was really bored of killing weak monsters and wanted to fight something strong? W-wait… was Ivy maybe a battle maniac…?
Poe was quiet all the way back to the sleeping quarter thinking about Ivy and as soon as they entered their room, Poe changed into his cat pajamas and made sure he entered the bed this time, before going to sleep.
Before falling asleep, Poe managed to calm down again when he remembered a pervert was more dangerous than a battle maniac was, so Ivy would not become more dangerous, even if she were a battle maniac.
Thinking this, Poe let out a small smile as he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
