The three of us head to the right most side of the academy first floor where the quest board are. Upon entering the lobby we are greeted with a bunch of teams or small party gatherings. If I where to compare this area to the party search lobby on the leftmost area of floor 1 I'd say all you can see here are groups. There are 1 or 2 solos here but not as much on the leftmost area which is the party search lobby. Which is understandable since this is the quest preparation lobby where party or teams look for quest and prepare before going out. There are a lot of stalls here mainly weapon, armors, items and other essentials.

"So what do you all want?" Emy asked while searching the quest board

"Hmmmm..." Elly is thinking.

"How about something available in area 7 or 8?" I suggested.

"Then how about this?" Emy points at the monkey like looking monster with 3 eyes.

"You want to try 3 eyed munkey?" Elly act surprised.

"Is that hard?" I asked elly after noticing her surprised.

"Well... Certainly one of the weaker ones but their numbers are small yet unified. Also they are hard to fight in trees." Elly explained.

"Just bait them and head to open area then." Emy said.

"Easier said than done sis. And besides can you even help? Since this is bipedal and looks humanoid..." Elly asked concerned.

"No worries. It's true I'm afraid of blood but it's high time to start training you know? I can't stay like this forever. And besides" Emy place her hand on my shoulder. "We now have her! A magician." She added.

"Hey don't pressure me. But sure I will see what I can do." I ask as I lightly remove her arm away while laughing.

"If you say so... Just... Try your best sis okay? Don't push yourself too hard." Elly replied worried.

"Got it Elly." Emy replied while patting elly's head.

"Then let's go prepare. Oh wait I still have my potions here so I'm all good. What about you guys? Anything you need?." I asked.

"Well..." Elly blushed.

"Sorry we are in red right? And we spent our potions earlier... So..." Emy looks away embarrassed.

"Got it. I will pay for now. " I replied with a sigh.

"Thank you Eris! " Emy hugs me.

"Sorry. I will be sure to pay you later." Elly apologized.

"Hey we are party members now it's good to help friends. And besides I trust that you will pay me back later so let's go." I replied as we go to the potion shop.

"Welcome beautiful ladies. What do you want for today?" A fat man with mustache clasping his hands asking us.

"Er... What do you need?" I look at the two.

"Maybe health potions and anti poison pills. Since we are in the forest poison can be dangerous." Elly explained.

"My! What a knowledgeable one. Certainly preparing for such cases are better than dealing with it later." The man praised her.

"Ummm..." Elly lowered her head after receiving her praised seemingly embarrassed.

"Please don't tease her so much." I asked the shopkeeper.

"Nonono. What I say is true. I know some starters who didn't even prepare some potions before heading out almost died right away. The area with monsters are dangerous specially in area 11-12 for low level players so it's always better to prepare." He explained.

"I see. That's understandable." I replied.

"Then eris is it okay to buy 6 potions and 6 anti poison pills?" Emy ask.

"Got it. Sir we'll buy 6 of both potion and antipoison pills." I said.

"Certainly." He replied and prepare the items placing them infront of us. "Any more purchase? If it's okay with you I have a recommendation and a request. "The man smiled at us.

"Let's hear it." I replied.

"The task first. I would like you to get me some 5 dried planks from eld tree. Those can be found area 8. Here take this small axe and please return it after the task. As for the recommendation I recommend you guys to buy this luring smoke bars. It will be helpful in luring those 3 eyes munkeys." He said.

"Hmmm? Did we tell you we are planning to hunt those munkeys? I asked feeling he is suspicious.

"Nonono you see those planks can be found in area 8 and in that place those munkeys are a frequent." The man replied.

"I see. So that's the case. Then we'll take 5 of that." I replied.

"Thank you for your business. 30 gold coins for the potions and 18 gold coins for the anti poison pills and 20 gold for the luring smoke bars. For the total of 68. But I will give it to you as 65 gold only." He smiled.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"Yes yes. After all I am asking you for your trouble and consider it first time buyer discount" he replied with a smile that never seems to leave his face.

"Got it." I replied and paid him 65 gold.

I checked my inventory and saw I still have 9000 or so golds after grinding so hard everyday and selling the drops.

"Take care and please buy again next time." The man waves at us with a smile.

We all head out to the teleportation area and use it to go to area 8. As the light disappears we saw ourselves sorounded by tall trees which screams "forest" to us.

"So what's the plan?" I asked.

"I have an idea." Elly said.

After explaining her idea I found myself standing here in an open area with elly. Her plan is to let emy taunt them and make it look like she is escaping. Emy got a skill called emergency boost where she becomes faster if she is alone within 5 steps around her. This way she can run towards us and when she and the munkeys enter the designated area we will use a luring smoke bar.

"Are you sure she can escape safely?" I asked elly.

"Don't worry eris. My sis are skilled at running away." Elly smiled.

"I don't know if you are praising her or something else."

(Also your smile are scary elly...)

After waiting for few minutes we can hear emy screaming.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Emy scream as she gets chased by a bunch of munkeys.

(Damn thats a lot of them around 12 i think if my estimation is right.)

"They are here." I said to elly.

"Yes. Let's start the plan." She replied.

"Got it." I ready myself while elly ran to the opposite side of me. Our position right now is we are standing in a circle. And if I where to visualize if in birds eye view I am standing on the very left side of the circle while elly are standing on the right side. Emy are expected to enter at the top and head at the center. Upon stepping at the center I will run to the back and elly will use her skill step-and-dash which will make her dash instantly towards the top. Before emy lights up the luring smoke bar so they won't escape and I will use my skills to decimate them while they are focused on what's in the front which is elly.

And that's exactly what happened except for the part where Emy tripped when she is running to the center.

"Emy!!!" I called her about to run after her.

"Don't mind me! Continue!" Emy said as she wipes her nosebleed.

"Got it."

(Time to test my new skill.)

I made use of my flash cast earlier. I used it on my flare earlier. With the conditions that goes like this.

Upon usage of flare I will use flare again continuously for 5 times. And it will all appear 1 step away from the original to the right. That way 6 flares will appear starting on elly's left side sweeping through to her right side.

"Elly! Flare incoming." I shouted at her.

"Got it." Elly replied then used her skill ground pierce.

Fencer are good at penetration. All their skills can ignore defense but low on damage. Ground pierce is an earth skill that summons earth spears from the ground and pierce the enemy. The difference of this skill to what I always do with earth control is it can ignore defence and It won't disappear so it will impale the munkeys.

"There I'm done!" She replied before jumping backwards.

"Flare!" I used my skill with flash cast to the left side of where she is standing before and large fire explodes in the area followed by continuously exploding flames sweeping them clean. Successfully clearing them all instantly.

-dicer eris killed 12 3 eyes munkey.-

-due to being in a party the total exp are divided to the party members.-

-dicer eris received 900 exp.-

-received 4 white dice.-

I dropped behind flat on the ground after feeling the rush.

"Phew we did it." I said.

"That was good Eris." Elly said.

"Hahaha I feel tired all of a sudden.

"Anyways sis what are you doing?" Elly asked emy still groveling on the ground.

"Sorry... I forgot to use the luring smoke bar." Emy said.

"It's fine we did it anyways." I stand then walk towards her and pat her in the shoulder.

"Yes sis. Just try again next time okay? And also you did good job luring them here." Elly pat her head.

(So she is the big sister in times like this.) I said to myself as I chuckle.

"Elly is right. We can't do it without you luring them here. Be proud of that and besides you are a cleric. Your job is important for our survival. We depends on you okay?" I cheered her up and reach out urging her to use my hand and stand up.

"Thank you eris." She grabbed my hands and help herself up. " You too elly. " She then hugged her sister.

"Now then let's do it few more times and also take the planks for the shopkeeper's request."

"Yes!" The two replied.

And so we keep doing it for 5 to 6 times before we start cutting trees for the planks.

-received 2500 exp-

-level up-

-level up-

-user eris reached level 14-

We are now cutting trees after grinding some munkeys. Emy cuts the tree while I chop them to planks and Elly binds each planks by 12.

"Hey. I thought we just need to cut this tree and it will become plank right away." I asked while cutting the trees to planks thag emy chopped.

"Nope. Unlike monster drops items that came from tree or herbs need to be taken properly. " Elly explained.

"I see." I continue chopping wood.

"Phew this is the 10th tree. Is this enough?" Emy asked.

"Well he told us 5 wood planks only but we made a lot." I said while looking at the 3rd 12stack of planks on my side.

"Let's Just bring it to him anyways" I said. "He might consider buying it. If not just sell it to the academy." I added.

"Let's do that." Elly said while binds the planks together.

After cutting the planks and binding them all we now have 4 set of 12 planks tied together with a rope.

"Let's return?" I asked.

"Yes. Let's call it a day." Elly suggested.

"Finally I can take a bath." Emy said while stretching.

"Yeah. Let's sell this right away." I said.

We all head to the academy first.

"Oh my I didn't think you will bring a lot of planks." The shopkeeper smiled ear to ear.

"Well... We got excited." I said while scratching the back of my head.

"Are you buying them all?" Elly asked.

"Of course! I can't say no to good materials. I can see you all did delicate work on this." He said while gently checking all the planks.

"How much are this sold anyways?" Emy asked.

"Normally it's 50 gold per 5 planks. So I will buy them for 480 plus 20 for the trouble so we end up with 500 gold." He said while handing out 500 gold coins on the table.

"Thank you sir." I give him my thanks.

"Till next time~" he waved at us.

We head right away at the counter and sold the drops of munkeys. They are a bunch of pelts and bones.

"So it's 46 pelts and 16 bones. For total of 1260 golds. Plus the 3100 gold reward for defeating 62 3eyed munkeys" She counted our rewards.

"Thanks~" i said.

"Your welcome and stay safe outside. It's nighttime after all." The receptionist said.

We head outside and walk towards the inn.

"Wow we earned a lot. Is this normal?" Emy asked.

"Definitely not sis. But since we killed a lot we do earned a lot too." Elly replied.

"Hehe... Sorry I dragged you all at killing a lot. I love grinding you see..." I said embarrassed.

"No problem eris. I gotta say though." Emy said.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Even though you look beautiful you are kinda scary." Emy said. "The way you smiled while burning those munkeys..." She added as her body shivers.

"Ehe?" I replied surprised.

"Yes. Even I fear I might get burned too." Elly added.

"Seriously?" I replied with a shock.

The two nods.

"Umm... So it's not good to kill a lot of monsters?" I asked sadly

"No it's fine eris." Emy quickly replied.

"Yes sis is right. In fact we are glad we earned a lot." Elly added.

"I see. Then next time tell me if you want me to stop okay? We are party now after all." I told them.

"Got it." The two replied.

"By the way we earned 4860 so lets divide it to 3 leaving us with 1620 gold each." I said.

"Eh?!?" The two reacted in a loud voice.

"What?" I asked.

"I thought we will divide it in two one for you and one for the two of us." Emy asked.

"Eh? We are party of three right?" I asked.

"Yes but..." Elly look worried.

"Then it's normal to divide to 3. Besides all of us did our best so it's normal to reward all of us equally." I explained.

"But you did most of the work." Elly said.

"But we all helped together right? It's normal I killed them all because that is my job. While elly is the one who attracts and holds them all after emy finished luring them. So i say we all deserve a normal division of rewards." I explained.

"Alright. Let's just trust eris okay elly?" Emy said.

"But sis!" Elly replied.

"I know. It feels unfair to her but she decided it. And if we refuse it more eris will just feel sad so let's accept it happily instead okay?" Emi said.

"O...okay. are you really sure about this okay? Eris?" Elly asked one more time.

"Really really." I replied with a smile.

"Okay. Thanks" elly smiled.

"And with that let's go to the inn."

We all laughed while walking to the inn. Upon arrival we are greeted right away by velvet which is surprised after she saw the three of us together.

"So you all know each other?" Velvet asked.

"Just today. We formed a party." I said.

The two nods behind me.

"Good. I don't need to kick the two of them out then. Since surely they got the money to pay now knowing eris here is a grinding addict." Velvet grins at me.

"Hey I'm not that addicted at killing!" I replied right away.

"But you always kill a lot right?" Velvet still grinning at me.

"Yes..." I replied with a low voice while looking down.

"Then your an addict. At grinding i mean." Velvet finished me off.

"Oh by the way we all decided to stay in one larger room. To save money." I told her while kneeling down the floor on defeat.

"Oh then want to use our party room then? It can hold 4-5 people." She suggested. "It costs 3000 a week though. Also with food breakfast lunch and dinner and free bath." She added.

"Yep that's good."

Compared to my rent before 500 weekly it is indeed more expensive but since it's 3 of use here and we can grind a lot it's totally okay.

"Great. Here is the key. Take all you stuff in your room and transfer it to your new room. And make sure to return the old keys." She told us.

"Okay." The three of us replied.

The three of us quickly pack our stuff and put it outside the new room and head to the dinner place right away before heading to the bath and enjoy.
