“By the way, are you an Adventurer, Nina? If you are, what is your rank?” Leo asked her as they traveled through the desolate Wilderness.
She nodded, “Yes, I am an Adventurer, but I just registered very recently, so I am still F-Rank.”
“You know that you can take the promotion examination all the way up to D-Rank without any restrictions, right? I think you’re strong enough to pass the promotions even if you just became an Adventurer.”
p ᴀɴ da n ᴏv el “I know, but I want to take it slow for now. Once I leave the academy, I will focus on my new life as an Adventurer and strive to become an S-Rank Adventurer.” Nina said.
“I see… Well, good luck.”
“What about you? I heard that you’re a B-Rank Adventurer.”
“About that… I don’t remember since I have amnesia, and I haven’t entered the Wilderness since I returned to the academy…” Leo said with a stiff smile on his face.
Sometime later, they encountered an F-Rank monster.
“Wait. I want to test out this watch.” Leo said to Nina as he slowed down his hoverboard.
Leo jumped off his hoverboard and retrieved his sword before rushing at the monster.ᴘᴀ ɴ ᴅᴀ n ᴏ ᴠᴇʟ
“Start Record.” He suddenly muttered.
Once he arrived in front of the monster, Leo swung his sword multiple times in a rapid succession, killing the monsters with ease.
“End Record.” He said afterward.
He then looked at his watch, and sure enough, his points that were at zero increased by 1 point.
“An F-Rank monster is worth a single point, huh? How does this thing even work?”
“Magic.” Nina calmly said.
“Sounds about right…”
Sometime later, Leo stopped moving to fight an E-Rank monster to see how many points he would get from it.
“Wow, 5 points? That’s akin to 5 F-Rank monster kills.” pᴀɴda nᴏvel
“D-Rank monsters will give you 20 points, and C-Rank monsters will give you 100 points. As for B-Rank monsters… If you can defeat them, they’re 1,000 points each.”
“A thousand points…” Leo swallowed nervously.
“If you want to place first in the training course, we should focus on C-Rank and B-Rank monsters.” Nina said.
“Let’s do just that then. If it’s too risky, we’ll just farm D-Rank monsters.” Leo nodded.
Over the next several hours, Leo and Nina would travel deeper into the Wilderness without stopping.
When Leo’s stomach started rumbling, he stopped and asked Nina, “I’m a little hungry. Let’s take a small break.”
“Okay. Do you have a tent? I have one if you don’t.”
“I have a tent.” Leo immediately said.
‘I have been waiting for this moment ever since Miss Camille bought it for me!’ ,c,om
He retrieved the metal box from his Spatial Ring, placed it on the ground, and pressed the only button on the box.
The metal box opened up a few seconds later, and a fully-prepped tent would sprout from within.
Leo stared at the large cabin-like tent before him with a dazed face. The tent was much larger than he’d anticipated, not to mention how it required no effort to set up.
“The Model CX-06? That’s quite expensive.” Nina said.
“It was a gift, so I didn’t have to pay,” he said with a smile.
After setting up the tent, they entered it.
The interior of the tent was quite large, about the size of a large living room, and there was even a bathroom with a working shower and toilet.
‘No wonder this thing cost 50 million. Let’s hope the concealment magic really works on this thing…’
After sealing the door, Leo opened up the manual and began reading through it.
‘Miss Camille was right. There are so many functions to this tent. Magic sure is convenient.’
Once he figured out how to activate the concealment magic, Leo immediately activated it.
“Alright, the concealment magic is activated, so we should be safe from monsters. Let’s eat.” Leo said to Nina, and they proceeded to take out their lunch.
However, Leo raised his eyebrows after seeing the food that Nina had taken out.
“Low-quality MRE? Don’t tell me that’s all you got.”
Nina looked at him and nodded, “Yes, is there something wrong?”
“Those are bad for your stomach… Here, have some of my high-quality MRE.”
“Are you sure? I am fine with this.” Nina was hesitant, as she didn’t want to feel like a burden to him.
“You lent me your hoverboard, it’s only fair that I share some of my food with you. I’ll also feel bad about eating high-quality food when you’re eating trash like that.”
“Trash…” Nina looked at her low-quality MRE with a pondering face. She wasn’t a picky eater, nor does she hate low-quality MRE as much as Leo, but if she could eat something better, she wouldn’t refuse either.
“Then I will take up on your offer.”
Leo handed her a high-quality MRE and the two of them began eating shortly after.
After eating, they rested for about fifteen more minutes before they returned to their hoverboard.
As for the tent, just like how he’d prepared it, all Leo needed to do was press a single button and the entire tent would return into a box on its own.
Leo and Nina would continue to travel deeper into the Wilderness, reaching an area where it was mostly D-Rank monsters.
And since they would kill any monster they encounter, the both of them racked up 500 points combined.
“The hunting ground for C-Rank monsters is only 50 miles away. We can get there in two hours, but it’s a little risky to travel during the night.” Nina said to him.
“There’s no need to rush. We have a whole month out here. I’ll set up the camp.” Leo said.
“Okay.”
After setting up the camp, Leo activated the concealment magic as well as the viewing function for the tent, which makes the walls inside the tent transparent, allowing Leo and Nina to see the situation outside their camp without needing to go outside. However, if one were to look at them from the outside, they wouldn’t be able to see the interior.
