It's early in the morning in Giguru Village. That was the name of the village Nova had ran into.
In this particular time of day, it's the time you should be very careful who you ran into.
Just like any other place, people Giguru village often greet one another in the morning. However their greetings for the grown ups and people of the same age usually involves head butting one another by bowing.
Sometimes you would notice something falling down after a greeting. If you fell down to the Giguru people, it meant you have a weak spirit and physical abilities.
Usually it's the chief who gets most headbutts but Nova had soon joined her among the top.
As a visitor and someone most men in the village found strong, every member of the village wanted a taste of her head butt.
Rumor is she didn't even flitch while headbutting the head warrior.
"Barbarians!"
Nova lamented as she walked back into her house after greeting someone.
It's been like this in the past three days. Deen hasn't shown any signs of walking up but Nova could sense that the rampant energy inside him was slowly stabilizing so she decided to wait it out.
She wasn't sure what would happen since as Deen stabilized so did his cosmic energy decrease.
"Nova-goro, It's me."
Someone spoke from the outside. Nova almost shouted back but she seemed to have recalled the owner of the calm soothing voice from the outside.
Nova has told her a bit about herself and Deen. Herself along with Deen were looking for something and Deen was hurt in the process. She didn't lie but didn't tell any details either.
"Come in Chief Giroma. "
The chief walked inside headbutted Nova and made herself at home.
She sat on a stool at the edge of the room.
"Good Morning Nova-goro, are you going to be hunting with the boys today?"
Nova giggled a bit.
"I think I'll do that, I might be moving on soon."
Chief Giroma turned his gaze towards Deen who was still fast asleep.
"Is he getting better.?"
Nova shook her head.
"That's not the reason I'm leaving. However, I have a strong feeling he is going to wake up."
The two continued to chat for a while before the chief finally left for her duties. The two had become close friends and they loved to enjoy a cup of Gloro while they talked.
Gloro buddies if you may.
After finishing her own share of Gloro, Nova took a spear leaning on the wall, put a ring of ornaments around her neck and swiftly walked out.
She wore animal skin for reasons know to her, maybe to blend in or just try it out. No one forced her.
She met up with a group of warriors and joined their ranks to go an hunt for lunch.

Back in the hut where did was, the process bar of the system continued.
[ Linking…73%]

The Giguru villagers were mostly hunters but still gathered food though rarely.
Nova walked, slowly engaging in small talks with the men. Almost all Women in the village didn't hunt. No that they were denied the chance but through selection of the strongest people on the village, mostly men won.
"Nova-giri. So who exactly is that person with you? If he's not your husband what do you say about marring a strong man like me."
A particular average build man among the the men said to her.
"Pegro, if anyone is suitable to marry such a strong capable woman, we all agree it's me the captain."
The captain said buffing his chest.
"That isn't fair, don't abuse your status to…"
"Let him say what he wants. I mean it's obvious Nova-giri wants me. I mean she protected me the last time we were hunting."
Some other warrior said.
'Maybe I should have stayed home. I forgot how this guy's are so pushy.' Nova thought but decided to remain silent.
"Guys, Nova is already taken by the sleeping man."
"Don't address Nova-giri so casually Degoro." The captain poked the warrior named Degoro.
"It doesn't matter who he is, Nova-giri. If your friend wakes up maybe we can challenge him for your hand in marriage?"
Nova was mostly enjoying their talks and arguments while keeping her mouth shut. She had learned to do so just the previous day.
However when the challenge came up her eyes shimmered and an idea popped in her mind.
"Yes, I agree. Whomever can win against him is welcome to take me to be his bride."
All the warriors suddenly stopped and looked at the audacity the idea. No one thought anything of Deen. In fact, most men in the village looked several times stronger than Deen.
'That will teach that fool not to leave me alone.' Nova schemed. Her plans to annoy Deen with pointless fights when he woke as her revenge were ready.
People of Giguru village still thought and acted like people of the past despite it being the 29th century. The village had remained isolated and it's people refused to develop on purpose.
However before things could get better the air quickly shifted.
"Down everyone! Two up ahead. A Gorgero and Gorgeri. "
The captain commanded everyone keeping his tone low. They were already deep in the forest and the hunt had commenced.
Gorgero and Gorgeri are just male and female antelopes from Gigurene language.
The group of about 6 quickly scattered throughout the area slowly cornering the two oblivious animals.
The captain his name Grogan gave a hand signal to the warrior on the other side the turned to Nova and gave her a nod. Nova nodded back.
He then started a silent countdown by indicating a number of figer from 3 then 2 and 1.
The opposite warrior was ready as Nova. At the same time they thrusted their spears aiming at the antelopes.
The two spear grazed the grass and poked the air swiftly as they closed in.
However, Nova's speed was way too fast and landed first. The female antelope seeing it's companion down dashed making the other spear miss by a tiny margin.
A miscalculation of Nova's part.
"Grogan! Spear! " Nova requested.
Grogan the captain seasoned hunter quickly grasped Nova's intention. He threw his spear to her. Nova leaped and grabbed the spear midair. She the rotated in the air before landing and thrusted the spear ahead.
She had put a bit of abnormal strength to it as some little shock wave escaped from the spear.
The spear split the air heading straight for the runway desperate animal. With maximum force the spear dug into the antelopes belly and went right through it piercing the ground and sinking more than half to the ground.
The antelope lifelessly fell on the ground it's life stolen from it.
The other warriors were only left to look with their mouths wide open. The speed and precision Nova had demonstrated not to mention the power behind the attack was inhuman.
"Unreal…"
Grogan was left trying to capture the flashback in his mind constantly trying to understand at the same time admiring the power.
The other warriors soon gathered and had carried the male antelope that fell first.
"Maybe I overdid it." Nova said to herself. Her battle instincts had accidentally kicked in during the hunt.
"Amazing Nova-giri! That was legendary! Please be my bride!"
"Moron! Let's gather one more and have a feast today as well! Warriors! You have seen what a true hunter is like! I hope everyone is excited!"
Grogan pushed the warrior away protection Nova from another series of marriage requests.
"Yes!!"
The hunt continued and Grogan along with another warrior made kills of their own.
Overall it was a bountiful hunt.
