I woke up in my room at the inn, it was already noon and I was feeling VERY relaxed after the events of last night.
I looked at my bent reserves and 'yup they are full'
[21/21 bent remaining]
[talking to girls has reached level 7]
"Wow, how many girls did I do yesterday?" I lost the count after 5.
Any ways now that I have a full tank it's time to train like a madman.
I got out of bed took a bath, changed clothes and said goodbye to the inn lady.
I made my way to the Loki Familia to spar with Ais she's the best choice if I want to level my body and skills.
At the gate I asked for Ais and they told me that she had reached level 6 and was training, getting used to her new strength.
I went to the training fields and found ais doing some basic exercise.
"Good afternoon, I heard that you leveled up" I greeted ais and started doing some stretches.
"Hello Calvin, yes I reached level 6" she said looking at me with a little smile.
"Lest test your new strength then, lets spar!" I say while going to the arena.
She nodded and went to the opposite side of the arena.
"Ais, I don't want to break my sword, so I'll be taking yours okay?" she drew her sword
[splitting]
[20/21 Bent remaining]
We ran to each other and I thought of trying my new ability on Ais to see if I could take her attacks head on.
*Clang!*
Our swords clashed and arm was feeling numb 'I guess her new strength is really something else'
Even though [sword circulation] deflected 25% of her attack it still remains stronger than ever and add that to the superior strength of ais i can barely hold her sword in place for 2-3 seconds before she overpowers me.
Going for another slash she parries it but has a surprised face because of the strength of it.
I used 25% of her attack to counter her, making my attack around 2 times stronger?
She goes for a kick, which I block with my fore arm and hurts like hell, if didn't deflect part of the attack my arm would probably be broken.
I wince at the pain but that's the way it goes when training [Beli ma] 'well this is better than letting kala bet me up until the skill levels up'
We kept exchanging blows and I was even taking some of them.
After an hour and a half we stopped, and ais invited me to go to the dungeon
together, which I accepted as I still have a debt to pay.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
After some 3 hours in the dungeon, we were going to the surface.
We spent most of the time in the 15th floor, I mean that she can one-shot monsters doesn't mean I can.
I even killed 2 minotaurs with great difficulty, and now we are strolling in the 10th floor.
"I really like this floor, is very open, a good change of air compared to the claustrophobic caves and the labyrinth"
"yes" she answered.
I look at her for a moment 'this girl really doesn't talk too much, it's like I'm talking to some of those princesses that where heavily indoctrinated by the royalty'
Out of nowhere she runs off.
'What? Is my company that bad? Kala said that I have sociopathic tendencies, but I don't know what that means'
When I reached her, she was holding some green metal, while looking at it intensely.
"Again, I couldn't apologize" she said
"Huh? Apologize for what?" I said while looking at the arm guard?
"Bell, I've yet to apologize for what Bete said to him" she said.
"ooooh" 'ais told me what happened that day, and this bete guy was sure a little bit harsh' but I don't feel anything for him, try coming from a world where 12-year olds are trained to be assassins.
'Well, I trained them to be assassins' but that doesn't erase the probability of some kid having a rare skill that he got from doing a very specific thing, and killing you when you less expect it.
"Well, he is still alive so there are more chances" I reassure her.
She nods and we make our way to the surface.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Back at the surface we exchanged our stones and parted ways.
I made another million and now I have 2.1million valis.
'Still a long way to paying the debt and an even longer way if I want to someday buy the sword'
*sigh*
I sigh but a smile comes to my face when I see the system.
[+1 Str, +1End, +1Knt, +1 Bdy]
[Beli ma has reached level 6! +1 Sta]
[Swordsmanship has reached level 7! +1 Str]
"Now that what I wanted to see" my body its itching all over and I feel like tomorrow it's going to HURT all over.
'But it's worth it [status]'

Now I'll need to level meditation and get [Eye of the tiger] to level swordsmanship and Beli ma faster.
I went to the inn and started meditating.

'Chose [eye of the tiger]'
"let's sleep for now"
'Ugh, I should have chosen medi-tating this is going to hurt tomorrow'
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> [the next day] <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I was at the walls of orario because the guys at the Loki Familia told me that ais went there apparently teaching someone how to fight.
After many stairs I reached the top and was pretty impressed by the view as I can see half of orario.
I saw Ais talking with Bell, I couldn't really make what they were saying.
I went closer but out of nowhere Ais started beating him up! Saying that it was training!
'Ow, that's going to hurt tomorrow'
*sigh*
'Why is every girl that I know barbarians in disguise?'
I left them there and went to train in the dungeon.
it's not that I didn't want to help him but I got that treatment first hand before and though it is painful its effective.

That's all.
This chapter was really nice, the hardest part was to come up with the new abilities. That make sense while also adding some 'magic' to them.
SO, feel free to comment your ideas in some abilities.
I have mine that's going to appear sometime later:
[Fire aspect: makes target hit by the sword combust into flames.]
^try to guess where is this from :D
