Before she knew it, a week had passed.
She and Kaori continued to train with Keiko, taking an hour out of every day to walk into the woods and look for fights. This time, however, they made a point out of avoiding anything that looked too perilous. Due to this, their progress was slightly lessened, but they still leveled up. And, this morning, Ash finally accomplished the goal she'd set.
"Any second now… probably…" Ash thought as she cut a log of wood in half, and her Strength went up.
Finally! She thought as she let her weapon transform back into a cube.
"Yeah, I'm done." She called out as Kaori and Keiko stood up behind her.
"So…" Keiko started.
"Well, yeah," Ash told her. "No reason to stall, right?"
It was just about time to head out for the mission.
Currently, Ash's stats looked like this:
Level 9
MP: 80/80

STR: 10
DEX: 10
