After gently nodding to sleep Saudo was out like a light for 8 hours. His sleeping face couldn't be seen by the rest of his party because his door was locked but they all knew that he overslept.
Mikoto, Oli, and Rogan were sitting down waiting for their party leader and Mason to wake up. They all knew that those two were up much later talking outside the rooms and waited patiently for them to get up.
"Ahhhhh" Saudo yawned a stretched his tired body. He was an hour late for meeting that he set up.
"What I'm late! Why didn't anyone wake me up if I slept in."
He grabbed his bag threw on his newly bought cloak and snatched the map he drew out the night before off his desk. Saudo threw open the door and flew down the stairs leading to the main lobby of the inn while gaining momentum.
He was running down the staircase and made a misstep making him tumble and fall down the remaining stairs. He laid sprawled out at the bottom of the stairs hurting in several different place from the fall.
"Huh is that Saudo that fell down the stairs?" said Rogan peering from his seat.
"Yeah I think he fell down while running." replied Mason who just got down to the party.
"Oh well let's go get him up." said Oliver standing up from his chair and walking over to Saudo.
Saudo who got up into a sitting position was still rubbing his side.
Smack
"Saudo you're late for the meeting that you arranged."
"I'm sorry Mikoto I was trying to have a plan set up for today and overslept. I got the plan right here."
Saudo pulled out the small map he shoved into his bag.
They laid it out on the table they were sitting at. The map wasn't that big but did take up a big portion of the table. The map had simple illustrations on it telling you about the layout of the land.
Since the Slime Field was quite large Saudo picked out an area that is not often farmed because they might be able to find more monsters there. The exact area that he choose was about mile into the field mostly out of the way.
Saudo didn't look too far into the details of the area but he figured that the area should be relatively safe from Rank D-S monsters. If Pinky wasn't such passive Rank S the entire party would have died.
All Summons only have about 10% of their original power so by that standards if Pinky wanted to kill them when it was alive they would have died.
Pinky was hidden inside of Saudo's cloak so that no one could see him. Pinky is still in the shape of a pen but if he had to since the cooldown is done he can change back whenever he needed it.
Saudo told them where they are going to hunt and what to look out for as well as the layout of the land so that they could use it to their advantage.
Grrr
Saudo's stomach spoke telling him that he needed some food. He flagged down the waiter and began ordering his food.
"I'll have the breakfast meal and a orange juice."
"Will that be all sir?" asked the waiter who was politely waiting for Saudo to finish ordering.
The food arrived and Saudo ate. Everybody else ate already as they were on time. Once they finished eating they left the inn and went to the front gate.
Walking the same path as we did before we got to the Slime fields in some relatively good time.
When Saudo got there he saw almost three times the amount of parties than yesterday as well as how they are higher Rank parties. They must have found out that someone found a Rank S Slime Core and want to see what Slime dropped it.
After moving through the main area they got to the area where they would be hunting and set up camp. They would be staying at this spot for the next three days to gain as much items as they can before going back.
They began hunting for Slimes as soon as they got done setting up.
At first because it was only there second time hunting Slimes and third time hunting at all they were still kinda clunky and they didn't know how to fight properly. They spent about 4 hours hunt various Rank E and occasionally a lone Rank D Slime's and that helped them get used to the battles.
Saudo also used this time to get a little hurt to activate Give or Take so he can raise his stats faster. Thanks to that during the first day his stats jumped by 30 points. This isn't as good as their first day but that is almost double what most adventurers got.
The second day went as planned they killed about 60 Rank E and 10 Rank D Slimes and overall got maybe 1 Gold worth of items.
It was the last 4 hours of the third day when they were checking their stats to see any growth.
"Huh"
"What happened Oliver?" Mason asked
"Yeah did something bad happen, did your stats not raise. Did I do much better than you?" Rogan said getting more excited with each word.
"Shut up Rogan!"
"No actually I gained a new skill." Oli said still dumbfounded by the turn of events.
"What a skill?!"
"Yeah it called Reinforce. Apparently it raises my defense by 100 points permanently."
'Hmm I guess there are a large variety of skill that could show itself in someone. I don't know if I got lucky or unlucky with mine' thought Saudo the pain from the self induced accidents that led to being hurt from the Slimes still fresh in his mind.
