CHAPTER 37: Let's Dance
----------------------------------------
"W-what? M-Me? kill it?" She asked me and I can see she's worried. She knows I'm not joking.
"Yes, kill the boss. It's only level fourteen. Don't worry, I'm here, worst come for worst, I'll one shot it before it kills you." I tell her as I point towards the overgrown mutt that's non-stop growling at us.
"B-but I'm only l-level s-seven!" She says trying to argue her way out the situation.
"And? I killed the gatekeeper when I was around level 10 and I killed a dragon when I was level…ah shit. What was my level then?" I say trying to remember but it's been a year ago and I raised enough level for me to lose track. "Ah, who cares. Look, that thing is not something grand. Of course, it's bigger than anything you have dealt with let alone the most dangerous excluding the ogre queen. But, no doubt about it, you can kill it."
I see her stare at the ground, and she looks towards the Boss that still hasn't made his move. It's basically a combination of a wolf and a boar. Its body is a wolf as it's covered with black fur, but the face has a snout of a boar. Its legs also have hooves instead of claws and a small jolt of electricity covers its body.
"What's up with all these bastard and electricity? First the ogre queen now this mutt." I whisper looking at it. “It would have been damn cool if they just made it look like a giant wolf-“
ROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAARR!!!!!!
The wolf roared and it caused Suyeon to tremble as the shockwave of its screams pass through us.
"You would have thought it's supposed to bark...” I whisper looking at the abomination from a distance. I turned back to Suyeon who looked at the giant boss with fear. “Look, it's calling for you. Just listen to what I have to say, and you can kill it. Besides, if you want to travel with me, you need to be able to kill something as simple as that."
"O-okay. I-I can do this. If Yasu says I can do it. Then I-I can do it." She says trying to pump herself up with adrenaline and confidence. Seems like what I said caught her attention so I kept trying to push her.
"There we go~ Ok, first you need to go for its legs. Remember about critical strikes. When it charges at us, go use your skill to ki-"
BOOOOOOOM!
The giant boar-wolf created an explosion as it launched towards us running at full speed. Every step it took shook the ground and I can see Suyeons legs trembling.
"Look, it's coming. Go for its legs. Once it isn't able to move, go for its eyes or something. I'll be over there. Good luck~" I say and I sprint away from her.
"W-w-wait!" She screamed as she turns around, but I was already at a distance that she won't be able to catch up to me. The giant boar-wolf jumped up above and started descending towards Suyeon.
"J-j-jump!" I hear her shout barely jumping out of the way.
----------------------------------------
Suyeon's POV
----------------------------------------
I jumped out just in time but the wind the giant boar-wolf made stomping the ground was too strong and I felt my body fly faster.
"Ah!" I was flung across the sky not being able to stop myself. In a brief moment, I saw a glimpse of where he is. He stood with his arms crossed watching me from a distance.
He's watching me. I need to do good to stay with him. I say in my mind.
"Ngggnhhh!" I forced myself to move while flying across the sky. Somehow, I knew how to move my body, so I won't be hurt too much. It's been like this ever since I got my class and I would get random déjà vu at certain times. Suddenly getting the feeling that I have done something before but with very clear memory how to do it. I moved one of my legs slightly and the shift of my weight caused me to turn before I land on the ground.
Thud!
"Ahh!" I felt my sides hit the ground and I bounced back up.
Here it is again. I say in my mind. I knew which way to move my body to control myself as I bounced around. I moved my hips towards an angle and my body felt light at every bounce. I knew when to stomp the ground causing me to flip and land on my foot as I slid backward.
"A-ah. That hurt." I say as I feel my body around for the new bruises. "W-whew. O-ok I can do this."
I tried to ignore the fear I felt as I look towards where he is. He still stood far away looking at me with one of his eyebrows raised having a surprised look. "Y-you can do it Suyeon. Or else, he'll leave you behind. You can do it. You can kill that giant animal."
The boar-wolf was so tall it towers over me even from a distance. The thought of fighting it is making my legs tremble in fear. I didn't know where to start attacking so I looked around everywhere.
"Attack its legs!" I hear him shout from a distance making me focus only on its legs.
"I-its legs. Like before. Critical strike i-is when I do mean things to it. Critical strike. I have to go for a critical strike." I whisper to myself and I quickly run towards the boss monster. I was looking at its legs I didn't pay attention to its head. When I got closer, I notice the sun was suddenly blocked and when I look up, I see a lot of sharp teeth coming straight to me.
"J-jump!" I shouted my skill and I jumped towards the side dodging its bite.
BOOOOOM!
The giant boar-wolf face went directly to the ground causing smoke to erupt as I jumped sideways landing on my feet. The grass from the field isn't helping and I couldn't stop myself from sliding across the meadow. I tripped on a rock and I came stumbling down the ground
"M-my clothes," I whisper as the clothes Yasu gave me is now full of dirt and grass stains. "I-is it dead? I-I think it's dea-"
"Hey! Don’t just there like a statue! Go fucking kill it!" I hear a voice erupt behind me and when I look back, I see him glaring at me making me want to apologize.
"I-I'm so-" I see him suddenly move to make me stop.
"Watch out!" He shouts and the minute I turn around, I see a huge snout coming towards me like a wrecking ball. I felt my body lifted up from the ground as the air from my lungs was abruptly taken out.
"Ack!" I wince in pain as I felt the weight shift up and I was sent flying towards the sky as the boar flung me upwards. I felt blood come out of my mouth and my nose as the metallic taste that I'm too familiar with made me remember such unwanted memories of my experiences inside the dungeon. I see the giant boar-wolf open its mouth waiting for me to drop right in.
I, I have to defeat it. I say in my mind as I feel my lungs slowly collect air as I'm able to breathe again. I felt my body descend back down and I prepared to attack it with my skill.
"J-j-Jump!" I shouted right before my foot lands on the snout and within that moment, I was sent flying back up. I see my attack didn't do that much damage but it made the wolf look disoriented.
"A-ah-AH!" I flail around as I descend down at a height I'm terrified at. "H-help me!"
I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die.I kept repeating in my mind closing my eyes as I see the ground getting closer.
"Your skill! Use your fucking skill for fucksakes!!" I hear Yasu shout and I readied myself as I slowly open my eyes.
Like before, I knew how to move my body to have my legs aimed at the ground. Right when my foot touches the floor, I shouted my skill as I stomped as hard as I can. "J-jump!"
BOOOOOOOMM!!
The ground erupted as I land on it safely. "W-whoa. It worked! Yasu it worked!"
I turn happily towards him and I see him pointing at me with an irritated look.
M-me? Oh, wait. He's pointing behind me.
"A-ah kill it. I got to kill it." I say as I turn around to face the wolf that's still moving its head around. I quickly run towards its front left leg and as I got close, I extended my leg forward and right when the soles of my boot's meets with its shin, I shouted my skill one more time, J-jump!"
The giant boss' leg was sent flying towards its chest as a critical strike appeared above its head shedding quite a chunk of its health. It screamed in pain as it lost its balance and came crashing down on top of me.
"A-ahhh!" I run away trying not to get flattened and I suddenly felt an impact behind me sending me tumbling down the ground. The giant boss let out a sound-causing me to cover my ears since it felt like it's going to pop. As soon as the sound disappeared, I look towards the boss who's struggling to get up since my kick actually broke the leg.
"I-I broke it…W-wha-" My voice was suddenly stopped as I feel something hit me from the side and I came crashing down the ground. "Guack!!"
I feel like I broke some ribs since my sides are starting to hurt really bad. I look up to see what crashed into me and I see a black boar with blue eyes getting ready to charge again. As I look around, I see multiple black boars and black wolves are spawning and all their blue eyes are set on me.
"W-wha-" All the wolves and boar that spawn started barking and shrieking at the same time and the sound they all make is starting to make me feel confused. "W-wha-"
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
All of a sudden, something exploded in front of me causing the whole area to be covered with smoke. The smoke was suddenly blown away by a swing of his sword. Then in a split second, he got close to the boar that rammed into me earlier and cleanly sliced its head off with one swing killing it in an instant.
"Would you all shut the fuck up you damn mutts." He says as he jumps to stands in front of me facing the spawned enemies.
"I-I-" I started stuttering from fear as my knees felt weak preventing me from standing up.
"And you, stop being so damn scared. Look, don't hold back and just go wild." He tells me without turning around.
"O-ok. I-I'll try." I tell him as I slowly stood up.
"First, take care of these tiny pests. Then go for the giant mutt and break another leg. We both don't have and magic points crap so, I don’t think there's a limit on how many times you can use your skill."
"Y-you mean MP? Mana?" I asked him as I know what the term means.
"Yes, as you know, I have been using my skills without any issues and limits. The same thing for you probably. Go jump kick that thing to oblivion." He tells me as he points his black sword towards the giant wolf who laid from a distance while the tiny wolves and boars surround it.
"O-ok," I reply back and he took a quick glance at me before he started walking back to the position, he was at leaving me alone to face multiple enemies at once. "T-tiny wolves and boar first then the big one."
As soon as Yasu got quite a distance, I see one of the wolves started sprinting towards me and soon the whole enemy behind it followed.
"J-jump!" I shout my skill as I brought my foot towards the open mouth of the wolf. My skill broke its jaw and the wolf was launched back so fast that the other wolves and boar it hit along the way were sent flying with it. One of the boars ran towards my right and quickly turned running at me at full speed.
"J-jump!" I shout my skill again as I brought my foot towards the incoming boar.
"T-there it is!" I say as I see the critical hit appear above its head as the boar lifeless body plop to the ground. My attack completely destroyed its head as if something exploded it from the inside.
Suddenly, I see a wolf leap trying to bite me. "J-jump!" I shout my skill trying to evade it but as I jump back, another wolf was right behind it and all I could do was block with my hands as it bit my gauntlets. I notice another movement to my right and this time I didn't have time to react.
Bite!
"AH!!!!" I feel something sharp lodged in my thigh and it started pulling my leg away from me. I can feel its teeth slowly rip my skin making me want to faint. "H-help! Help me! It hurt! Help-" The minute I look at Yasu, I can see he has his arms crossed while looking at me. His gaze sent a shiver down my spine.
I-if I don't kill them, he will leave me! I scream in my mind.
"J-Jump!" I scream my skill as I brought my remaining leg on the ground and I was sent flying up breaking free from the wolves’ clutches except for the one on my thigh. It kept its bite and I feel the teeth ripping my flesh as I flew up.
"Agrhhh!!! Let me go!" I say as I grab its eyes while we descend back down towards the ground. Using all my might, I pulled it’s eyeball out and the wolf lets go of my leg as it yelped in pain. Using this opportunity, I decided to send it crashing down below.
"Jump!" I shouted my skill as I place my foot towards the wolf and its body shot towards the ground like a bullet. The whole area shook, and I see the wolf splatter onto the ground as it created a crater the promptly turning into dust. I safely land on my feet but the pain in my leg brought me to my knees. Tears started welling up, but I stop myself from fully crying since I know he's watching me. I force myself up and ran towards the next wolf who got caught on the blast and slowly standing up.
"J-Jump!" I say as I kick it on its side and the wolf went flying towards the forest.
Congratulations! You have leveled up!
I see a notification come up as I read it happily when all of a sudden, a wolf pounced on me trying to bite my face. We both came stumbling to the ground and I fought its bite by placing my hands on its jaws forcing it to open while pushing its head back away from my face.
"L-let go!" I shout as I force the jaw of the wolf open to the point that it broke cause it to yelp while its blood came pouring down on my face.
There it is again. I say in my mind as I go through another deja vu. I kicked my leg up as I remember it and the wolf went over my head stumbling to the ground. I quickly stood up and ran towards it getting ready to stomp its head flat.
"J-jump!" I stomp on the wolf and the minute my foot met its head, it erupted causing its brains to explode in all direction.
Hah.
Huah.
I kept feeling the throbbing pain on my leg and on my sides, but I can't stop now. I glance towards where he is and he's sitting down on the ground watching me.
I-I have to kill it. Suyeon. Kill it.I say in my mind as I look towards the giant boar-wolf.
"S-stop being scared and just go wild," I whisper to myself. I ignored the pain on my leg and sides as I ran towards the giant boar-wolf that's laying on the ground. Another wolf tried to bite my leg and as my déjà vu activates, I somehow knew how to move my body and it seems like I was dancing through as I dodge them one by one.
"Jump!" I shout my skill as soon as I got close to the giant boss. I kick it on its side and the impact sent the giant wolf stumbling to the ground a few feet away. I quickly ran to it and prepared to kick it one more time, "A-again! Jump!"

The giant boar-wolf roared as it felt my kick probably breaking some of its ribs. I notice all the tiny boar and wolf came running towards me. I quickly jump up the giant boar-wolf and using my skill, I flew to the sky higher than I'm used to.
"A-ahhh!" I shout as my fear of heights kick in. I started descending onto the ground and I feel my legs numb due to the fear and the pain. I see all the tiny wolves and boars are gathered under me waiting for me to land. "Jump!"
I brought down both my foot towards the ground it landed on a wolf's head. The whole ground erupted as I sink through destroying the wolf in the process. Each and every mob that was gathered around me flew out in all direction while some of them started disappearing turning into dust.
Congratulations! You have leveled up!
All of the boar and wolves that were gathered are now struggling to get up while the giant boar-wolf is at a distance also struggling.
Did I do this? I say in my mind.
"I-I can do it. I can kill it!!" I say happily as I approach another wolf. I quickly used my skill stomping on its head and it quickly turned into dust as another critical strike appeared. I wasted no time and killed the tiny boar's and wolves as they tried to get up. I saw a couple of them run towards the forest and that's when I saw him move. He quickly dealt with the runaways mercilessly punching them. I turn back around, and I see the giant boss growling at me standing with only three legs as the front left leg I kicked earlier swung around like a rag doll.
"Y-you. You have to die!" I shouted as I ran towards it.
Don't think. Just fight. Break its legs and then rip its eyes out. I say in my mind as I ran past its head dodging its bite. I quickly got close to its hind legs. "J-Jump!"
BOOM!
I quickly ran around behind it and as it falls towards its side, I decided to break its other leg.
"Jump!" I kicked outwards towards its leg and it flung the wrong way as it snapped from the joint. Somehow, I felt the skill was a lot stronger this time and I'm beginning to see a faint light emit around my feet. I shouted my skill again as I jumped up towards the flailing leg. I activated my skill one more time as I flew to its leg with my foot outward. It erupted the leg completely as the hind leg flew off its body.
ROOOOOAAAAAAARRRR!!!
It roared as it fell to the side. The impact of its body caused the whole place to shake. Using my hands, I grabbed its fur and climbed it on its side. The minute I got on the top; I ran towards its face until I'm right next to its eyes.
"Jump!" I shouted and the adrenaline flowing through me numbed the pain in my legs as I felt excited watching its eyes explode covering me with slime and blood. Its eye completely turned into mush from my skill. I slipped at the edge due to the slime and I fell right in its eye socket.
No time to think! Just go wild!I say in my mind as I stand up inside its ruptured eyeball.
"Kyaaaa~ Mr. Wolfie is looking at me~ Hahaha-Hahahaha Jump!" I shouted my skill as I grab on the walls of its eye socket and brought my foot down below me.
I felt my body wanted to fly off like gravity was reversed but I held onto a flesh as my life depended on it.
"Jump!" I kept shouting while stomping over and over again. I didn’t see any critical strike, but I didn’t care as I felt angry. I stomped inside its eyes socket mercilessly and blood mixed with its mashed eye is splattering everywhere. I feel the wolf would try to tilt its head but every time I stomp, it goes back down the ground. I felt happy, but then I suddenly remembered the dungeon. I remembered how they stepped on me, how they stomped on me, how they treated me like a floor matt, it brought more anger out the surface. I tighten my grip on the flesh I've been holding on and lifted up both my foot.
"Jump!" I shouted as I brought both my feet down towards the eye socket and my skill exploded below me as the skull of the giant boar-wolf was destroyed from the inside. "Jump!"
I did it again and again even when the giant boar-wolf turned into dust, I kept kicking into the ground as I release all my anger.
Congratulations! You have leveled up! You learned a new skill!
I ignored the notification and kept using my skill to elevate my anger as I keep remembering the dungeon. I tried to kick again, there was nothing below me as I was launched up above the sky.
"Wh- AH!!!!!" My body suddenly froze from fear and I flail around as I started to fall towards the ground. I close my eyes bracing for impact when I suddenly felt a pressure that brought me flying back up. As I slowly open my eyes, I see the ground below me and I see the destruction I made. The meadow that used to look beautiful is now a mess full of craters and dust.
"Look what you did," Yasu tells me. I look to the side and he's carrying me into his shoulder like a messenger bag as he looks up.
T-thank you.I thanked him in my mind as tears started clouding my vision.
“Do you see what you did below? That ruins below us, it's because of your strength." He tells me and I look back down. We started descending back down and he turned around and hugged me towards his chest.
"Chef's coat." I hear him whisper and I closed my eyes bracing for impact.
BOOOOOOM!!!
I hear a loud explosion as we land back down. If he didn't use his body as a cushion, I would have died. I slowly open my eyes as I feel his hand loosen and plop to the side.
"Congratulations you witch stick. You killed your first boss." He whispers and I couldn't help but cry. I cried and cried on his chest until I calmed down.
"I-I'm sorry. T-the clothes you gave me got dirty." I tell him as I stand up looking at myself covered in blood and slime from the wolf's eyes. I noticed his clothes were also covered with blood, probably coming from me when I hugged him. "I-I'm sorry!"
I tried to scramble wiping the blood off his clothes, but my hands were covered with blood that I just smudge more blood onto him. My body is shaking, and my breathing becomes abnormal as my eyes accumulate tears making it harder to see properly.
D-damn it! What did I do!I scream at myself in my mind as I made more of a mess on his clothes trying to fix it. "I-I'm-"
"Stop apologizing. It's only clothes. Now get off me." He tells me and I notice I was sitting on top of him.
"I-I'm sorry!" I say scrambling to stand up but when I put pressure on the leg where I was bitten, pain shot up through my spine and I went back down on top of him. "I'm sorry-"
He suddenly pushes me to the side, and I landed on my injured leg causing me to clench my fist as more pain traveled through my body.
"Tsk, wait here. Let me check something." He tells me and I see him walk towards the large dust pile where I killed the giant boar-wolf. He mutters something from a distance and swung his sword vertically towards the pile of dust. In a split second, the dust was blown away clearing the area in an instant. He bent down and grabbed something off the ground and walked back towards me.
"Here. Drink it. After that, go collect everything from there." He says as he hands me a bottle with red liquid inside. "You're lucky it dropped a health potion."
I slowly grab the potion off his hand, and he walked towards the forest. "W-wait! D-don't leave me! Please!" I tell him and he turned around towards me looking annoyed.
"I'm not going anywhere. I'm just going to collect the meat off those fucking mutts I killed earlier. Now hurry up and drink that shit and collect whatever you can from that pile." He says pointing towards where he was before. I nod and he turns around to walk over the corpses of the wolves he sliced up.
I drank the potion emptying the bottle quickly. It tastes like water even though the color is red. I see my leg started healing slowly closing the wound and my ribs starting to feel better. Once I'm able to move fully again, I stand up and walked towards where I killed the giant boar-wolf while glancing at Yasu who's chopping up the corpse of the tiny black wolves he killed earlier. As I got close, I see a couple of things scattered around. There were two more bottles of healing potion along with what looks like a leather skin. I picked up the leather and I notice under it was a ring along with a bracelet.
"A ring and bracelet?" I whisper as I pick it up. "he-hehe I killed it. I killed it!" I felt like dancing but I quickly grab everything and place it in my bag so I can join Yasu. I see he already deboned one wolf and is already onto the next one. Once I got close, he notices me and stood up and walked my way.
"Item bag." I see him call out his dimensional bag and took out a lot of raw meat and held it out towards me. "Here, keep these."
He places the raw meat on top of my hands and I place it in my bag. After collecting most of the meat, we decided to camp for the night before heading out in the morning. We filled out our container and washed ourselves of what's remaining of the pond which is very little water. We walked our way back towards our little camp and Yasu cooked the meat of the wolf and boar while I looked at the ring and bracelet.
He~ hehehe~ I killed it~ I kept singing in my mind as I keep remembering my fight. I killed it~
I couldn’t help but smile as happiness overwhelms me while I look at the ring and the bracelet.
"Did you get that from the boss?" He asked me and I nod. He hands me a plate with cooked meat, and I took out my bag to store the ring and bracelet. Right when I was about to put it in the bag, he stopped me by grabbing my wrist. "Wait. Give it to me."
I place the ring and bracelets on his palm and I grab the plate off his hand.
"Inspect." I hear him say and he started reading off something I can't see.
"I-inspect?" I asked him.
"It's a skill I have. Let’s me see the information of any item and monsters." He explained to me
"O-oh."
"Ok, this ring and bracelet give you a boost in damage per hit." He says as he hands back the items to me. "Try wearing it and look at your dph."
I place my plate down and wore the ring and bracelet. "Show dph."
DPH
110
"O-oh! It’s 110 now!" I say happily.
"Oh? So, there is a piece of equipment that increases our damage output." He says. "Remove it and tell me what it shows."
I removed the bracelet and the ring while I called out a command. "Show DPH. U-um it went back down to 10."
"Hm keep wearing the ring and bracelet. It doesn't have durability since it's not a weapon or an armor but an accessory. But I don't think it's indestructible so wear it on your non-dominant hand, so you don't go punching enemies with the ring."
"O-ok," I say and I wear the ring on my right middle finger along with the bracelet.
"110 huh, just add 120 on top and our damage is the same." He says as he takes a bite of his food.
"O-oh, what's your DPH?" I asked him.
"two hundred and thirty, without any skill activated." He says as he chews his food.
"Oh, 230," I whisper as I took a bite of my food. "Are you wearing any rings or accessory?"
"No." He replied as he continued eating and my eyes went wide. I remember him telling me earlier that our DPH is the same as our level.
If he as 230 that means, he's level 230!I scream in my mind as I stare at him.
"What?" He says as he notices me staring.
"N-nothing," I reply and we continued to eat in silence.
"You said your DPH is at 10 without the ring and bracelet, that means you level up. Did you gain any skill?" He asked me.
"Oh yeah! I did! Status Window!" I happily called out my status window.

"O-oh! I got a skill called 3-step combo!" I read the name of the skill and at that moment, I saw three yellow holograms of myself in different poses. "Ah!"
I was startled making me almost dropping my plate as I look at the hologram line up one after another.
"What?" He asked and I can see one of the holograms is over him.
"I-I see me!" I say and the skill slowly disappeared. "I saw three of myself!"
"You saw yourself?" He asked me looking around confused. “I don’t see anything.”
"Y-yeah! There was three of me and each one did different poses." I tell him as the hologram slowly disappeared.
"Oh, must be your new skill. Try saying it again." He instructs me.
"O-ok. 3-step combo!" Again, the hologram materializes in front of me. And as I look side to side, it moves towards the direction where I'm looking while the poses stayed the same. "O-oh! It moves!"
"What do you see?" He asked me.
"I-I see the same. Three of myself as a yellow hologram. And they are lined up one after another!"
"Oh, while it's activated, check your DPH," Yasu says and I nod as the hologram disappears again.
"3 step combo! Show DPH!" I called out a command and my damage per hit window appeared along with the hologram at a distance.
DPH
110
"Oh, it's still 110," I say as I read it and I felt a bit down.
"Hm, it's definitely an attack but then again, the naming sense of these skills are quite stupid. We'll stay one more day and figure out your skill. Go finish your food and go to sleep." He tells me and I nod happily. I quickly finished my food and I fell asleep as soon as I laid down. I woke up to sunlight hitting my face. As I rub the crust off my eyes, I looked around and saw I was all alone.
"Y-Yasu?" I whisper looking around and my heart started beating and I panicked running out towards the meadow. "Y-Yasu!"
I see he stand up near the rubble of what used to be the pond. He doesn't have a shirt on, and I stopped as I felt relieved to see him.
"What?" He asked me as water drips down from his neck towards his chest.
"I-I-I-" I started stuttering and I see him walk out of the water and walked towards me passing me as he dries his hair with a towel.
"Chill out witch stick, I won't leave you. Now hurry up and wash so we can start practicing your skills." He kept walking towards our camp without looking back and I felt happy he gave me a choice to follow him.
"O-ok!" I say happily as I quickly walked towards the pond to wash. After breakfast, we walked back out towards the meadow.
"Ok, try activating your skill again." He tells me.
"3 step combo!" I quickly say and I see the tree hologram of myself appear.
"Ok, quickly tell me what position or poses the holograms are doing?"
"U-um. T-the one in front of me is just standing but she has her hands up towards a certain position. T-the second on is turned around while she's bent forward and the third one behind it is in the same position as the second one but its legs are out like it's kicking something."
"Oh, And it moves anywhere you look?"
"Y-yeah."
"Hm, try copying the poses." He tells me as he steps back.
"3 step combo," I whisper to re-active the skill and I started making poses the same as the hologram.
"Did anything happen?" He asked me and as I look back, I see the three holograms are still there.
"N-no. The hologram of myself is still there." I tell him.
"huh, hmm. Footwork class that specializes in dancing. Wait, what if you copy the poses as you go through them?" He asked me.
"Oh! Like those DDR games?" I asked him and he gave me a nod. "O-ok. 3 step combo."
I approach the first pose. It moves side to side when I turn my head, but I guess it doesn't move forward or backward since the hologram stayed in place. I place my hand through it and it felt cool. "O-ok let me try."
I jumped through the first hologram while copying the same pose and it disappeared while my body glowed faintly.
"O-oh it works! The first hologram disappeared!" I say looking back towards Yasu.
"Ok, try the other two poses and let's see what happens." He instructs me and I happily gave him a nod.
"O-ok," I say as I turn around. I prepared myself to go through the second pose and I jumped through while I turned around bending forward.
Here it is again!I say in my mind as another déjà vu hits me and I knew how to move my body to get to the next pose. I placed my foot on the ground and swung my other foot towards behind me. I used the shift of weight and stepped back to reach the other pose. The minute I got through it, my body glowed brighter and in a split second, the light collected on to the foot I have kicking outwards.
Zssssssstttp!
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!
The ground erupted as my kick created a shockwave that traveled down the meadows destroying everything in its path.
"Ack!" I fell forward as the shockwave of my attack created the wind strong enough to catch me off balance. "U-ugh. That was-"
My voice suddenly stopped as I see the damage, it went all the way down towards the trees and the ground itself was reshaped by my attack as if someone sent a blast at high speed.
"W-w-whahaha! I did Yasu! Look!" I say as I point while looking back towards him and I see his mouth is slightly open staring down at the destruction I made.
"What the fuck." He whispers as he approaches me without removing his gaze towards the aftermath of my skill. " This is too overpowered. And You're only level ten..."
He says as he looks at me and held out a hand to help me up. I grab it and I felt the pressure of his pull as I was yanked off the ground. I suddenly felt my legs weak and I felt towards him pushing him down.
"I-I'm sorry! M-my legs f-feels weird and I-I-" I say as I can't stop it from shaking.
"Pfft~ Bwahahahahaha! Who cares about your legs! Look what you did! If you learned this earlier, you could have sent the giant wolf flying across the forest!"
He quickly stood up and held out his hand towards me again. "Well, then let's go practice until you're able to use it without losing the feeling of your legs."
I grabbed his hand and he slowly helped me up to my feet. It didn't take long to get the feeling of my legs, and we practiced my skill the whole day until to the point I reshaped the landscape of the meadows before the sun sets into the horizon. Morning came quickly and I woke up without Yasu around again. I ran out towards the meadow and I see him washing at the pond which we tried to save due to it being the only water source. He sees me approach him and he started walking my way.
"Hurry up and wash. We're leaving." He tells me as he stops in front of me.
"W-were not practicing my skills anymore?" I asked him.
"No, if we keep practicing, you might reshape this forest but that's not my main concern. If people from the boar town sent people to come after us, we need to get a move on to be one step ahead of them." He explained to me and I suddenly remembered the governor, making my stomach turn.
"O-ok. Give me a minute I'll be done." I tell him he walked past me to go to our camp. I quickly wash and run back. He sees me and hands me a slice of cooked meat to eat.
"Eat as we walk through the forest." He tells me and started walking towards a direction.
"Where are we going?" I asked him as I followed behind munching on the cooked meat, he gave me.
"We're going to look for Daikichi and Kana. We need to try and find them." He tells me without looking back. Before he always tells me to walk in front of him but this time, he kept walking in front of him as I silently followed behind.
"H-how are we going to find them?" I asked.
"Well, first thing first, we need to go back towards that horizontal mountain and start from there." He tells me and all I could do is nod happily as we both disappear into the forest.
