Satsuhiro guessed accurately from Ash's Level 1 that she had never killed anything, which was a problem considering the fact that she'd be doing that a lot as a Savior. So, he gave her a map and told her where to go to do this while he researched ways for her to become attuned with her affinities.
"Don't fight anything too strong," Satsuhiro had said before she left.
Keiko decided she would stay with Satsuhiro so she could, as she put it, "work on something". Ash was fine with that, so now she was walking out of the house on her own, on her way to her first fight since getting this job.
So, let's see. She glanced down at the map. Currently, she was southwest of Jade, if she headed to the left for enough time, she'd eventually run into Pearl. So, this forest over here, she tapped it on the paper, is a beginner-level area. There are just low-level goblins and orcs there, huh? She nodded to herself. Well, let's go.
