For the next 2 days I kept practicing the Air Armor With short breaks to have get some rest. Since my endurance is low, I couldn't continue my practice for a long time.
The attack and defence the Air Armor provides is low, but the speed it grants me is good and it can make a difference in battle and also will help me in retreat when things go south.
With the regress training sessions I was able to bring my Endurance to 6, which increased my time in battle by a notch. My muscles have become stronger and dense due to the continuous training for the past 2 days.
I am able to hold the Air Armor active for 20 minutes. If I can hold it active for another 10 more minutes, it will be recognized by the system.
I continued the training for another 2 days with less and less time to take rest. The only times I will come out is to have food with my family.
They started calling me 'Training Maniac' as I am fully concentrated in practicing the Air Armor and making it a system recognized skill. Once it is recognized, I don't have to focus on it anymore.
I can just think of the skill to activate and deactivate it like turning on/off a fan by flicking a switch. This will help me to focus on the fight instead of splitting my focus for the skill while fighting.
That is why I focused on practicing this skill and to make it recognized by the system to give me a little boost to me in my fights. The boost maybe less, but in a life and death fight, every boost and every advantage will be beneficial no matter how little it is.
Another 2 days passed before I was able to focus deeply and keep the Air Armor active for 30 minutes which made the System to recognize it as a Skill.

I checked the Status and am really happy to see 'Air Armor' has been added to the skill list. Now it is not the time to enjoy, but to focus on improving my power and level up.
I took some rest as it is just 10:00 am in the morning. I can go out to hunt if I want to, but I wish to go to the Hunter's Guild to accept the missions they have for the newbies before that.
This will not only allow me to choose a good place for the hunt, but I will earn credits depending on how hard the mission I choose and complete.
After resting for 2 hours, I went to the dining room to have the lunch my mom had prepared and packed for me. I had the lunch and left for the Hunter's Guild in the new bike I got as a birthday gift from my parents.
They know how much I love the color blue, so they have presented me with a blue color bike which can go upto 200 kph. This is the first time I am taking this bike out, so I am a bit nervous to go out in the streets.
I practiced riding my mother's bike in a ground near my house in the village 'Gemir' which we lived before moving here. It didn't have much traffic as Havet and this made me more nervous than excited.
I wore my helmet and started my bike which roared inside the closed garage. The door opened automatically when I went closer to it and I immediately increased the throttle to reach 50 kph and maintained the speed till I reached the Hunter's Guild in 20 minutes.
I rode it slowly because of my nervousness, but I am not afraid to increase the speed which I was tempted to by some young people who tried to mock me for going too slow.
I went to room 2 where uncle Jon will be. He has been officially appointed as my handler by the Hunter's Guild. He will be responsible for my growth as a hunter and for handling missions.
The building was almost deserted with only few people roaming since it is past noon. 'KNOCK KNOCK' I knocked at the door twice and waited for a response to go in.
I didn't get any response for a minute and when I was about to knock again, I heard "Come in." I entered the room to see another hunter already present in the room with him.
"Hello Alexander, meet Miss Dawn, a newbie like you. Miss Dawn, this is Alexander, the one I was telling about." Jon said introducing us to each other.
I was a little confused when he said they were talking about me. Looking at the confusion on my face Jon said "She is in Mid-F grade and is in need of a partner to go out hunting. You will be a perfect pair when you go on the mission she just took."
I am still not sure why he was talking to her about me as I a know he is having many newbies like me and could have set them as partners instead of me who has awakened just a few days ago.
"I'm going on a mission to beast crystals in 'Saminga' and I need someone reliable to watch my back." Dawn said. Saminga is an area covered mostly by swamp which is just 20 kms away from Havet.
It is the territory of many low grade beasts. This is where any newbie will go on hunting missions to earn credits. Even the companies that hire newbies will send them there for training.
It is one of the best place where newbies can be seen everywhere hunting the monsters there. Because of this, that area will be marked 'Off limits' by the government for certain period of time to let the monsters breed to maintain the balance of nature's ecosystem.
And the time for 'Off limits' is just a month away and now will be the best time to hunt there as there will be hundreds of missions posted in that area.
