Hmmmm~
Right now, I'm walking inside the class, intending to give Ryobe-kun his money.
With sixty kilograms of Jurogumo thread in our possession, the crafter in our clan can make one set of armor for one person, or the crafter can make two body armor instead of a full set armor. My father decided to make a full set of armor instead of two body armor. It consisted of a Body Armor, a headpiece, an armed guard, and leggings.
While it did not cover all the body physically, the mana inside the thread can protect the rest of the body that the armor was not covered.
Anyway! I arrive in front of my class, where I already see Ryobe-kun sitting on his chair through the window, drawing something.
I open up the door and walk inside. As I walk closer to Ryobe-kun, I hear him singing something.
"Paaz Keizaal fen kos stin nol bein Alduin jot~"
"Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin, naal ok zin los vahriin~"
"Wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal!~"
"Ahrk fin norok paal graan fod nust hon zindro zaan~"
"Dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu draal!~"
What language is that? I have never heard that kind of language before. Not on Anime, Game, or even in Real Life. I wonder if it was an ancient language?
"Ryobe-kun!"
I smile at Ryobe-kun, who looks at me.
"Good morning, Akagawa-san"
"Call me Yuka!"
"... Very well, Yuka-san"
"Yuka!"
"Yuka-san"
"Mou~ Anyway! Here! This is the money I owe you! Here is the money from the thread and mana core!"
"Thank you. Yuka-san"
"No Problem!"
I look over his shoulder and see that he is drawing his manga, which is good as I want to know the manga's continuation. I already read all of the chapters Ryobe-kun gave to me before I gave it to the publisher after the Auction yesterday.
"Ne, Ryobe-kun. Are you finished drawing all the chapters?"
"Hmmm… Not yet. Some more chapters before it finished."
"Eh? You don't want to make a longer series?"
"Hmmm… We shall see."
"Then, do you want me to give it to the publisher?"
"Sure. How about the previous chapter?"
"It will be published in a few days. I think this manga will be popular."
"Thank you."
I take the paper from Ryobe-kun and look at it. Ten more chapters for me to read! I wonder what Jojo would do to defeat the Vampire Dio.

Today's hunt is not bad. Instead of wandering around like I did yesterday, I use my usual tactic. Camping inside a building and killing them from afar.
Not only did it give me a lot of XP, but it also did not have a high risk of getting bitten or getting chased by a horde of zombies. However, even with this strategy, I still get bitten by a zombie when I walk away from the house to take back my arrow. There are many zombies that I cannot see from the veranda I stay in.
Because of this tactic, my archery skill level increased at high speed.
[Archery (Passive) (Level 10: 20/1000)]
[Skills that show you how much you love using Bow or Crossbow. Bonus 50% of damage to all Bow and Crossbow attack]
The fifty percent bonus damage to my total damage is a huge boon to me. While the requirement to level up this skill is also increased every level up, I'm okay with that.
Sadly, my swordsmanship did not level up, but I do get another skill from using my knife and killing more than a hundred zombies.
[Knife Play (Passive) (Level 1: 10/100)]
[Skills that usually appear to the people that have a dream to be an assassin. Give 5% damage bonus to all Knife and Dagger attack]
While only five percent, I accept it like this skill can maybe save me from danger in the future.
My stats also increased steadily. All my stats except luck already passed the twenty point mark, which is good, and I only need two thousand more XP to level up.
Oh! I also got myself new equipment!
[Working Boots]
[An ordinary working boots that can protect your feet from hazardous workplaces. Give 10 HP boost]
Not much, but it was equal to one point of VIT, so I'm grateful for getting this item for me to wear. I got this from the chest inside one of the local restaurants near my usual hunting ground.
Right now, I want to save up my TP to buy a legendary sword. The sword's name is Skofnung.
[Skofnung]
[The sword of legendary Danish king Hrólf Kraki. "The best of all swords that have been carried in northern lands," it was renowned for supernatural sharpness and hardness, as well as for being imbued with the spirits of the king's 12 faithful berserker bodyguards.]
[Unique Skill: King's Guardian]
[King's Guardian: Call the spirit of twelve powerful berserkers to aid the user in a fight.]
[Passive Skill: Sharpness and Unbreakable]
[Cost: 450.000 TP]
Yeah, it was expensive, but I want it. This sword is one of the few cheapest Legendary swords in the shop. The other sword that I considered to buy is Thuận Thiên, the Legendary sword of the Vietnamese King Lê Lợi. Instead of summoning a ghostly guardian to fight for me, this sword gives me an active skill that continuously increases my physical stats every minute for a maximum of ten boosts. As long as I'm in the state of fighting, the sword will continue to boost my physical stats.
I chose Skofnung to buy first because I don't think I can hold my ground for ten minutes for a maximum boost if there is a swarm of zombies coming in my way. Not only that, I don't know if choosing a hit and run tactic will be considered 'fighting' as I will continue to run and only hit when I have a chance.
However, there is a problem with the price. Right now, I'm in the middle of February, and I want to buy this sword by the end of the month. Then, I will try fighting the Mini-Boss of the dungeon.
Anyway, I look at the card Yuka-san gave me. With this, all the money problems have already been solved. She also says that I will get a royalty for the manga. I will donate the money to the local orphanage or something as I don't deserve that money.
However, I don't know how much money is inside this card. Maybe a few hundred thousand yen? I don't know how much the Mana Core is, but as long as I can hunt any demon around the area, I can sell the mana core to Yuka-san.
However, I need to increase my strength first before hunting a demon for work. I don't know if that Jurogumo demon is a high-rank demon and it was rare to encounter it, or is it a common demon that you can encounter in every alley in the city. In the end, I need to get stronger before doing that. I don't want to die yet.
Anyway, with this new money in hand, I guess I could treat myself. I hear there is a good ramen shop near the school.
