ELUNA: The Adventure Of Rina And Garwyr Chapter 8 Chapter 8: Learning Part 1

Rina's POV

I woke up feeling refreshed.

I must have been so exhausted since I immediately fell asleep when I laid down.

"So it's not a dream... "

I thought that yesterday's event must have been a dream because I spent the last few months fearing for my life, and now I feel like I'm free of it all. I pinched my cheeks to make sure that I'm not dreaming, and now I'm sure that this is all real.

"I really can't thank him enough."

Speaking of which, he must be out right now. Remembering what happened last night, I covered my face immediately.

I don't want to be alone at night, especially when I heard a terrifying howl. I got so scared and paranoid even though he said that it was safe , so I decided to go to his tent. I felt safe and sound when I'm near him, so I must have fallen asleep right off the bat.

I hope he doesn't mind last night, but it seems that he is being considerate, so I'm grateful.

I went outside and immediately felt the sunshine. I never noticed it before, but the forest is very pretty. It feels like I'm in a sort of fairy tale. The trees are beautiful, and the bushes that surround the campsite look so green and refreshing. The fishes swim along with the current of the river feels so serene.

I also noticed there is some sort of stake that is scattered around. That could be the 'ward' that Garwyr's talking about.

I looked around, and there I found him a little far away from here.

Wondering what he is doing, I decided to peek at him.

He seems to be meditating on a top of a large spherical rock. He must be training or something.

"Good morning."

"Wha-?!"

It seems that he already knows that I'm peeking at him. He had a small smirk when I got flustered.

"... Good morning."

I pouted a little bit.

"I'm almost done here, so wait for a bit."

He continued meditating for five minutes, and then he got off the rock

"I'm done. Let's have breakfast, shall we?"

"Umm, good work."

"Thanks."

"Do you always train every morning?"

"Of course. To keep my mind and body in top shape."

"How admirable."

"Not really, it's normal for us hunters. Come on, let's cook."

We went back to the campsite and then he brought out the boar meat with some vegetables.

"It's so bizarre whenever I see it..."

"You'll get used to it."

As he was getting ready to cook, I tucked on his sleeve.

"Can I be in charge when it comes to cooking? I want to be at least helpful."

"Oh really? Sure, why not?"

Now, I am left in charge when it comes to cooking. It's so fun to cook, especially when the ingredients look very good. I'm sure I could cook a delicious meal with them.

Thanks to my past knowledge and experience? I could cook plenty of yummy foods.

"Can you fetch some water? I gonna make a soup and some salad."

"Okay."

As he went to the river the river to fetch some water, I started the fire with my fire magic.

He said that I must first learn to control my Mana, but i could use fire magic just fine.

I looked at my status while I cooked breakfast.

My MP must be down by 2. It makes sense since I

used magic earlier. I also noticed that my INT and WIS have increased by 1.

I don't know why it increased, but at least it's something positive. It's also a lot when you compare it from the thugs yesterday. Perhaps I have an aptitude to become a mage with these stats.

Yikes! I'm also physically weak. I'm grateful that I'm somewhat strong when it comes to magic, but I wish I'm more physically fit.

There are many things that i am curious about.

For example, this [Arch Human] race.

As I try to understand what it means, an explanation suddenly appeared in my head.

[Arch Human]

A human race with a longer lifespan. They are also called 'Originator' as they are also the first humans of the world.

Huh? Does that mean I am a different kind of human?

First humans... like THE very first humans?

I don't know why I am an Arch Human or at least I never heard my parents being one because... Well, I am abandoned after all.

With questions still in my mind, I went to check out my title.

[Reincarnated Soul]

A wandering soul reincarnated into a body. Both original and foreign souls are merged to become a new soul. A reincarnated person will always be an 'Originator'.

I see... it has something to do with me being reincarnated.

Now that it answered my questions, it is time to check my skills.
