I returned to the dormitory alone, Roony and the others didn't speak to me even a bit they always turned their faces away from me when I saw them. Seeing their attitude like that I didn't want to disturb them and returned to the dormitory alone.
Back in my room, I trained Slash and Cover from the energy I hadn't used up all day before going to bed. I'm more focused on training my Cover this time because tomorrow I'm going to hunt Beast (Uncommon) to make my new weapon. So, having a stronger defense is better.
Even though it took quite a long time because I had to wait every minute for one time use Cover, I managed to raise the Cover level to level 2 tonight.
The increase is not that big only 10% of my Vit, but I think it's better than nothing. After my energy was exhausted, I went to bed to hunt tomorrow.
I'm currently in the east area of the academy, I went to this place because my goal was to hunt Goat Beasts to raise Agi and get materials to make my new sword. And now I intend to hunt Goat Beast (Uncommon), which means I have to be further away from the academy to meet Goat Beast (Uncommon).
Luckily I'm allowed to take my lunch with me now, so I don't have to bother going back to the academy for lunch and can eat in the outside academy. After running for 3 km, I saw a Goat Beast in front of me. I immediately used Analysis Eyes to find out what category the Beast was.
Ding.
Name: Goat
Class: Beast Level 1 (Normal)
Level: 51
HP: 805/805
Energy: 775/775
Str: 18
Agi: 47
Vit: 23
Total Attribute: 88
Unfortunately, it's a Goat Beast (Normal), but I'll still be hunting that Beast. To get the Core and Horn for sale, because this Beast is only a Normal category, I don't need materials from the Beast to make weapons. I didn't use my Moonlight Slash to save energy and just used Slash because it was enough.
I ran towards it using Rush, then I jumped and swung my sword towards the head of the Goat Beast. The Goat Beast tried to block my attack with its horns, but unfortunately, my attack power was much stronger than its.
"Bang!"

Goat Beast is a speed-type Beast, so he has a very weak defense. That's why the Warriors in my village can kill Goat Beasts, due to their low defense. So that their attacks can injure the Goat Beast until kills it.
After that, I took the Beast Core and Horn Beast then absorbed the soul.
Then I continued my journey to hunt Goat Beast (Uncommon). I'm currently running about 20 km from the academy, so I should be in the Goat Beast (Uncommon) area around here. On my way to this place, I met 3 Goat Beasts (Normal) and 2 Bull Beasts (Normal).
So I already have enough materials to make my sword in the Hall of Weapons. But I want to try making my sword with materials from Uncommon Beasts. So right now I'm looking for the whereabouts of my target Goat Beast (Uncommon) today, but it looks like it won't be easy.
After walking further, I saw 4 Goat Beasts eating grass. Of the four Goat Beasts, one of them has a larger body size and horns that are longer and sharper than the other three Goat Beasts. Seeing that I immediately used my Analysis Eyes to determine the Goat Beast category.
Ding.
Name: Goat
Class: Beast Level 1 (Uncommon).
Level: 90
HP: 1390/1390
Energy: 1090/1090
Str: 48
Agi: 115
Vit: 53
Total Attribute: 216
'Damn!' I forgot to estimate how fast the Goat Beast was when it reached the Uncommon category. Goat Beast is a Speed type Beast, that will make his Agi definitely higher than mine. Should I step back and not fight the Goat Beast (Uncommon) first and focus on increasing my attribute before hunting it?
I was in a dilemma because this Beast has faster speed than me, but he has a weaker defense than Bull Beast (Uncommon). If previously I managed to defeat Bull Beast (Uncommon) with four attacks. So to defeat the Goat Beast (Uncommon) which has a weaker defense than the Sheep Beast (Normal), I only need one attack to finish it off.
That means I will be able to defeat him with a single strike of my + Moonlight Slash. The Goat Beast's attacks shouldn't be able to break through my defense which has reached 59 Vit. Meanwhile, its Str is only 48, but teacher Ryan says that some Beasts (Uncommon) can use skills.
I started to estimate that if the Goat Beast (Uncommon) uses an Attack skill then the attack will be doubled plus the buff from the Aura then the attack that the Goat Beast will produce is around 110 Str.
Whereas my defense if added with both Aura and Cover will be 89. That will cause the attack to not have much effect on me, even though it will continue to reduce my HP. And the problem now is whether my attack can hit the Goat Beast with my current attack speed.
Looks like I have to make a surprise attack so the Beast doesn't have time to dodge. Then I searched for bushes and hid behind them to approach the Goat Beast. Apart from the Goat Beast (Uncommon), there are also 3 Goat Beasts (Normal).
I ignored the three Goat Beasts (Normal) and prioritized the Goat Beast (Uncommon) first since he was the one who could land the damage on me. I approached slowly, so he would not notice my presence.
Once I have gotten within 5 meters of the Goat Beast (Uncommon) and have entered the range that can be reached by Moonlight Slash. I started looking for an opening while the Goat Beast was lowering its guard.
Because every now and then the Goat Beast would look around and be on alert. I waited about 4 minutes until I finally felt it was time for me to attack the Beast.
I activated Aura (Uncommon) and Metal Sparrow Aura, and after that, I immediately used Cover and Slash. Finally, I activated Moonlight Slash and waited for the casting time to end. Luckily Moonlight Slash's casting time has been reduced from before, so that will allow me to attack him faster.
'Moonlight Slash!' I chanted the skill name in my heart so the Goat Beast wouldn't hear it.
"Swosh!" My Moonlight Slash rushed towards the Goat Beast (Uncommon) swiftly. But it seems he noticed my attack and immediately activated his Aura.
"Mbee!"
He was able to dodge my attack, it seems that my guess was right. This beast can avoid my attack because he has a higher Agi stat than me. Then he seemed to be ordering the other Goat Beasts to get away from him, and he looked at me who was behind the bushes, and started running towards me.
"Mbee!"
"Damn!" with its speed it will catch me quickly, I immediately use my Rush to get away from him. My rush is also getting faster with the development of my Agi stat, but it seems it's not enough to beat the speed of this Goat Beast.
He caught up to me until we were only about 2 meters away, then the Goat Beast's horns seemed to be gathering energy. The sign was like when I was using Moonlight Slash, meaning he was using a skill right now.
It seems that what teacher Ryan said was right, there are Beast Uncommon category who can use skills. After that, it seemed that the Goat Beast's casting time skill had finished and he started to increase his speed and got closer to me to attack me.
"Mbee!" I feel that the Goat Beast is chanting the skill name. The Goat Beast charged at me with its horns filled with that transparent white Aura.
"Bang!"
