"Uhhh.. it hurts a lot, but I need to take him down now to level up and get the skills I want, or it's a waste of time to fight him without using korins buffs for this long."
I stood up and used my sword again,but it was blocked by him. It only gave him a cut on his hands.
I need to do it. I need to use the sword technique again, but can I do it again correctly. I need to give it a try if I want to survive.
"The sword flows like the wind carrying the waves of the calm ocean as it goes and cuts everything on its way."
These words explain the sword technique I am using. A calm wind carrying the waves as it goes and takes down anything on its path.
The orc general was cut deeply by the sword technique. I was able to defeat him. I couldn't even celebrate. There were still few orcs left. But I don't have enough power. I fainted after defeating the orc general.
" I don't need to worry she still has my back. I will take a nap now."
" I'm sorry, hitoro. I can't be with you. I need to leave you here. Forgive your mother hitoro. I hope someone finds you and takes care of you."
Wait, who was that? What was I hearing. Who is hitoro. What is happening, my head hurts a lot.
I woke up from the from the pain. I was in a dream. I was just asleep. But who really was that.
" You woke up fast. It's been an hour since you fainted."
" Oh, I was out for an hour. Wait... Why am I your lap."
" There was nothing soft for you to rest on. So I made you sleep on my lap."
" Oh...alright. can I sleep on your lap for a while more.I feel like it."
" You can rest as long as you want. You did a good fight there."
"Yeah. I got the skills I wanted, and I was able to level up a lot, too."
" Yeah, even I leveled up, too."
" Hey, stop touching my hair it tickles me. Stop. Why are you doing this"
"Oh really, I was just bored."
Wait, from the novels I read, girls tend to play with the hair of those they love. Is she trying to hit on me.
" Are you trying to hit on me."
" Yea-. No, im your partner, not your lover."
" Are you blushing? I see it, and you are even stuttering. I know it all."
" What ?no. Ummm....i act-"
" I'm just kidding. Don't take it seriously."
Damn you ryuzo, I was gonna say yes, I actually love you.
" But hey, korin, do you really love anyone."
" Yes, I do, actually. He is kind, beautiful, has been helping me since I got to the orphanage. I love him a lot."
" Oh, then he must be lucky to be loved by someone like you."
" Yeah, he is very lucky."
" Wait, I need to check my stats."

Alright, both the skills I wanted are registered, and oh, I got basic strength magic as my quest reward and wait. My skills rose by 20-30 points. What is it because I killed the orc general by myself. Maybe.
" Hey korin, what are your stats like."
" Oh, let me check."
" All my stats are mostly above 30 except my mana it is at 56. And my skills are at E rank mostly. Except for my basic elemental magic, which is at C rank now."
" Oh, that is good. You can cast 1st circle magic without much issue now and did Isay thanks for saving me when i was unconscious. I owe you one."
" Don't say that. That is what partners do right."
" Alright now. I think we should go out after a small break."
" Hah, do I love nature. I always see its beauty as a way to feel better. I should go on a hiking trip after climbing a few floors. What do you think."
" Yeah, that sounds good. I will stick around, too."
" Oh yeah, I nearly forgot about it. We need to go now."
" Hey, what did you forget now. And why are you in a rush now."
" There is a hidden part of this floor where we can get a better reward, so follow me now. We need to get there before anyone else does."
I said while running as I wanted to get to the hidden stage of this floor. Which is at the edge of the map.
Before I started to increase my speed, I waited for korin to catch up.
" Pick up the pace we not to go the far edge of the forest."
Trying to catch her breath, she said," Why do we need to go that far for a hidden reward. Is it a powerful weapon or a skill that you want."
" Yeah. It's called the thousand year old ginseng. I need it to purify my mana to use basic spells to fight."
" Your mana is impure. Then that must mean you have a lot of mana which you can't handle, right?"
" Yeah. My mana was too much for my body, so it was condensed. And now it's impure."
" Then let's get going now. I want to see you use magic. And is there any reward for me too."
" I don't know, but we might find something for you too there."
We traversed the floor a bit more to find the hidden part of the floor, which is the subjugation of the blood orc tribe. It's the worst villages of them all because of their insane strength and because of the protection of the blood God.
"We are here. The blood orc tribe. The first of all the villages."
"We should rest for today here. We will fight them tommorow. The night is the worst time to fight them."
