Later that night the group gathered in a single room to discuss their findings,
"I know toady a lot of things have happened and it might be hard to take all at once, but we need to get ourselves together if we wish to get out of here." Alex said as he set down
"Lets go over what we know for sure, first, we are in a place where our common sense does not apply.
The people in this village are not hostile. We also know for sure that to clear this trial we need to get in contact with the village chief. Most importantly the currency used here are coins made of gold, silver and copper, they call these coins 'Drachma'. The horn we got from the boar sold for about 10 silver drachma but the tusks were worth little in comparison, selling for two silver. The difference in price was due to the horn containing the remnant mana from the boar according to the merchant. Finally, the last thing to note is that we need to kill these monsters in order to increase our levels."
"Like a game ?" Ashley asked cheerfully.
"Yes Ashley, like a game, but I don't think this one is going to be fun." replied Alex in a tired voice
"If anyone wants to add anything then go ahead. "
"Um, I think there is something you guys need to know, if you say share status then you are able to see each other's status screen." Ceaser added
"Really?, then we should share each other's status, we might need to know about them in some situations, I'll start, share status to Ceaser, Ashley and Sarah" said Alex after which the other three also shared their status,
Alex took a look at them,

"This enough to think about for today, I'll be going to sleep and you guys should too, we have lot to do tomorrow" Alex said before going to his bed and sleeping instantly.
"Good night brother!" Ashley said as she hugged Ceaser before leaving.
"Good night to you and Sarah as well." Ceaser said before going to lock the door as Sarah and Ashley went to their room.
.....
Next day, outside the city gate,
"Ceaser you take the lead, Sarah will keep an eye out for any boars, Ashley will stay in the middle with Sarah and I'll stay in the rear."
"Sarah when you see a boar quietly tell us and then take the shot, Ceaser if the boar isn't incapacitated by the arrow, then you distract it while I shoot it." said Alex as he suggested a formation and an emergency method.
"If the boar is incapacitated by the arrow then we take turns to kill it to ensure proper exp distribution."
"Sure lets try our best!"
Less than a minute later,
"There is a boar to our right!" Sarah said as soon as she spotted a boar.
"Good our first boar, Sarah shoot it's heart so that it barely alive." Alex said as he signalled for Ceaser to be ready in case it didn't go according to plan.
The arrow shot by Sarah hit the target and the boar fell after walking a few steps.
"Ashley kill it, before it dies of bleeding." Alex said calmly as he tried to hand over the gun to Ashley, but Ashley stepped back saying "I- I- can't ki- kill it!"
Alex took a closer look at Ashley and seeing that she was incredibly afraid to kill it, he asked Ceaser to do it instead.
"Okay we keep moving and we rest after every fifth boar."
6 hours later, the group had killed 56 boars but the process wasn't as smooth as they thought, sometimes Sarah would kill the boar in a single shot or the injury wouldn't be enough to keep the boar down, leading to it being killed by a bullet but inthe end it balanced out. Their fatigue remained low due to Ashley's ability and proper rest periods.
The 57th boar however went a bit differently,
"Boar incoming!" Sarah shouted, it seemed the boar had detected them before Sarah could spot it.
"Quick! Ceaser get ready we won't be able to distract this one! Sarah shoot at it till it drops!" Alex said before he pointed his gun at boar, which now that he looked at seemed a bit larger than others.
The gun fired quietly as ever followed by the sound of arrows passing through the air, the boar suprisingly seemed to be able to take the damage and continued to charge at Ceaser.
"Woah! what is wrong with this one?!" shouted Ceaser as he barely dogged it's charge.
The battle continued for a few more seconds before it died by the 6th bullet shot by Alex.
"Haaaa..." Alex breathed a sigh of relief as he heard a familiar sound indicating the death of the boar,
[ Lv - 2 Elite horned boar slain +6exp ]
This proves his doubts right, the boar really was different meaning there could even more types of horned boars in this forest. Just as he was thinking another message came up,
[ Current exp : 101/100 ]
[ Would you like to level up? ]
[ Y/N ]
Without hesitation Alex touched yes.
