"Can you use magic?"
"Yes, but my spells are weak, and since I can't incantation my arrows, they won't be of much use to me right now."
"Show me"
"All right... [Water magic: Sphere]"
"Wow"
"It's not that beautiful, I'm create a sphere a little bigger than my hand. Which consumes a lot of my mana because I have little knowledge."
"And you can't use water magic to shoot arrows either"
"Exactly so"
"It's a really troubling situation"
What exactly is magic? Even if others' bodies are differentiated, I am only strengthened within human limits. And they gradually began to cross human boundaries
If this continues, I can't keep up with them with my knowledge, I have to integrate my body here. But how do I do that?
"We are approaching the city, only 20 minutes left"
"That's not very close, by the way, why do adventurers hunt monsters?"
"Because when we hunt monsters, we can sell their body parts, or when we accept tasks related to them, we take their obvious body parts and give them as evidence."
"So you're doing it to make money"
"Yes, but when there are some special situations, we kill them and strengthen ourselves"
"What special circumstances?!"
"You'll understand in time"
And the conversation was over. We hadn't said a word the rest of the way, and I was studying my soul notebook
[Occupation: Amateur martial artist]
[Race: Human]
[Blood: Venom]
[Abilities: Willpower, Optical time]
My occupation has changed as a martial artist, I have the same venom in my blood. And I still don't know how to use these abilities, all my existing abilities are passive abilities, so I can't activate them willingly. But I also know that he will step in at an important moment
.....
"Why is there a queue at the entrance to the city?"
"It's time to harvest, in 2-3 days it's all gone. By the way, I don't have to wait in line because I'm an adventurer."
"Let's go then"
We approached one of the soldiers guarding the city, and... The person, whose name I didn't even know, showed his adventurer card and walked in, and when he said that I was an adventurer who got lost on the way and that he was the one who saved me, they let me in
"I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Aquirus"
"My name is Cecil too, nice to meet you"
"Which way is the guild?"
"From here"
I have seen many things while passing through the wide streets, raptors instead of horse carriages, the only difference is that they are over 2 meters tall instead of 30-40 centimeters
There are many kinds of shops, but there was never a place related to the health area. we soon arrived at the guild
"6 Hobgoblin molars"
"One moment... Here, who's the gentleman with you?"
"It's a long story, I'll tell you later"
He stood behind me and watched me
"Welcome"
"We found it nice, I want to join the guild"
"Put your spirit book there"
"... All right"
I'm the only one who can see the soul notebook. I wonder why he wanted such a thing? I put it on calmly and it started emitting a strange light and it went out
"Take your soul notebook, you are now an official member of the adventurers guild, take this card and drip your blood on it"
I dripped and then he told me that I was an adventurer of the rank of E, behind me Cecil was looking at my adventurer ID
"So, you're 17 years old"
"Yes, is there something wrong with that?"
"No... Anyway, what task would you like to take on?"
"Is there a suitable creature for my weight class?"
"Weig class?"
"Weight--... That looks like a human."
"There are goblins, but you can probably fight hobgoblins too"
"Hmm... Shall we do it tomorrow?"
"Okay, are you going to stay in the guild dorm?"
"Is there another place?"
"There is no moment for you now"
We chatted a little more, and then he left, so I went to the dorm and organized the place and stuff. One of the best places to get 8 silver per month
"Let me look at the books my master gave me, iron fist, fire fist and water fist"
He had always taught me foot movements since he trained me, and now he had given me a book for my fists, and I immediately started reading, it took me 3 hours to read a quarter of the book
"Okay, I need to repeat these pictures"
He was demonstrating punching the diaphragm of the enemy, as shown in the pictures. I'm trying to do it the same way, but it's really hard to do, because these techniques were made according to the people here, it's not a convenient technique for an earthling like me, but I kept working, it would help if I copied even some of it
"Why is such a simple technique so difficult?!"
But I managed to copy very few of them, it will probably take me months to copy the entire technique... Why is it so hard for me to get stronger...
The rest of the day I worked on muscle, foot movement and iron fist, and in the evening I went to a bar to eat. Then I slept.
"My body...Its ache, I can't even lift my arm."
I got up slowly. And I gave myself a solid punch
"Get over yourself, you shitty muscles"
After a while, my muscles all came to their senses, I have more energy than ever
"Looks like it's time to meet"
I slowly went down the stairs and saw Cecili there talking to the receptionist, replenishing the stock of arrows
"Aquirus, you've come. I also bought an arrow."
"Okay, too... Why is your face white?"
"Most of my money went here"
"Did you even start the party?"
"No, I didn't have time to negotiate for the arrows, you take care of it."
He went into a corner and collapsed, I think he's too worried about money
"Hello, I want to start a party"
"Names?"
"Aquirus and Cecil"
"Well, the name of the party"
"Hmm... Arrow"
"OK"
I set up the party and went to the body lying on the floor like a dead
"It's not really the time to die"
"Did you even start the party?"
"Yes, I also got the hobgoblin task, let's go"
"Fine"
After a long way, we arrived at the forest area.
"Is there no more open area?"
"Yes, but I have a better advantage here"
"If you say so..."
"I'm on the tree, and you fight them on the ground"
We started looking for hobgoblins, but we haven't even found 1 yet, I've already defeated 8 goblins, but I haven't come across hobgoblins yet
"Shall we go deeper?"
"OK, but be careful, there are orcs out there"
I made the ok sign with my hand and we started to progress, I defeated 2 more goblins as I progressed
"Hey, there's a person there"
"No, it's not human, it's a hobgoblin. Be careful."
I sneaked up on its, but it noticed right away. It waved the rusty sword it held in his hand at full speed at me
"This will be troublesome"
I was able to avoid it, but I don't know what will happen next, I made a foot movement towards its, I kicked its properly on the shinbone, but it doesn't seem to be very affected, I deliberately upset his balance and gained strength for the other kick
"Ke Ke Ke!!!"
And he swung the rusty sword towards my arm
"Come on, this sword shouldn't be sharp"
It cut off part of my elbow. So I used the iron fist towards its. And she was done
"Congratulations"
"Thank you, why was that so hard?"
"It had combat experience. And you don't seem to have much either."
"You're right, where should I get the hobgoblin?"
"Take the largest molar"
"OK"
It was a little difficult to disassemble, but somehow I did it
"Wouldn't it be a problem to leave these bodies like this?"
"It'll be fine, slime and the other creatures will take care of them"
We wandered around the forest a little more and then came back, we killed a total of 41 goblins and 3 hobgoblins
"41 goblin cores, 3 hobgoblin teeth and cores... Here are 5 pieces of silver."
I gave half the money to Cecile and then I had dinner
"Hm! A ability shop?"
What the fuck is a talent store?! I quickly got into it, there were stones on the benches, monster cores were standing here.
In front of the cash register, a woman in a low-cut robe with a witch's hat was smoking tobacco, her hat was covering her left eye, and she really looked beautiful.
He must have understood my strange looks, she was looking at me with a frown
"Hello, why are these monster cores here?"
"... I guess you don't know the core abilities"
After slowly straining me, she spoke
"Yeah"
"Then... Will you lend me your hand?"
She was choosing his every word carefully
"All right, let's take a look... The skills in that compartment are right for you."
She said, pointing to a compartment right behind her. She took out all 5 cores that were there and, taking the blue one in her hand, began to speak
"This ability also creates a natural layer of fat in the body. You look a little bigger, you become more resistant to cold, and physical attacks begin to have less effect. But the fire will burn you right away."
"Not this."
"Well. This creates a kind of armor on your fingers, but since it is an active ability, there is a period of time that you can use it."
"That may be, but what about the others?"
"I will tell you the others quickly, so listen carefully; in this your gills come out, but your lungs disappear, in this the fluid in your stomach strengthens, and finally... Your tentacles are coming out"
"... Why the fuck am I qualified for such talents?"
"Your body can adapt to most living things. Therefore"
"Okay, how much is that hand skill?"
"It's expensive"
"It's expensive because it's useful and hard to find"
I left without taking it because I didn't have that much money with me,
