"Oh, So this is the monster Julia talking about." A radish with legs and arms, it walked staggeringly, everytime it walked, the leaf on top of its head dancing to the left and right, front and back, damn... what a weird creature. Actually, this radish wasn't the only weird one, a walking sunflower, jumping garlic, a cat that had roses surrounded its neck, and many more.
"Yup~ none of this monster are aggressive, so we can leisurely kill the radish one the official name is Radiz, and remember! every other monster besides Radiz has an [Ability] and they are as strong as me, so~ do~ not~ mistakenly~ hit~ them~."
The rest of us nodded, and for the greater good, since Asato and Serizawa took a long time to kill one, we split into two teams and will rotate in turn for killing Radiz. Julia, Kurogane, and Asato will be team one, while the rest will be team two.
**
Once we met the first Radiz, Ume was the one that fought it, She unfolded her bow and put the string. Ume held her bow with her left hand, nocked the arrow with his right hand, straighten her back and hips, pulled the string until it met her chin... I wanted to take a photo of her face right now, her right foot facing the Radiz, she held her breath, carefully aimed at the Radiz and
*FWOSH*
Her arrow flying straight, the sound of wind being pierced by her arrow can be heard.
*JLEB* It hit!! ...... the earth.
"Wait!! Why is it moving!?" Erm... Sis, of course, it will move around, you didn't see it walking before?
By the time she released her arrow, the Radiz moved around from its original position, although I said it moved, It actually only stepped a little bit from its original position.
"Nashi.., your sister sucks." ... I didn't know though if I must say, she was doing great, well... I had some experience with throwing skill, so I knew the difference between hit stationary target with a moving one.
"Who sucks!? Why don't you try it!?"
Kyo grinned, he unsheathed his whip-rapier, several metal pieces, which were joined end-to-end by rings formed a slender, sharply pointed sword, there were two triggers on its hilt, one for loosened the rapier into a whip mode, and one for retracted it back into a rapier.
He ran toward the Radiz, stabbed it once slightly below its leaf, and pulled his rapier, a white textures flying out from the Radiz, he continued to trim its leaves, once the Radiz had a haircut, he mutilated its arms, cut its body in half and sliced the rest of the Radiz into thin semi-circles.
"...Wait!! Why are you not using your whip!?"
"Why would I? I never use a whip before, yeah I might have a whip [Ability], but it doesn't mean I have to use it right?" Said Kyo while he cleaned his rapier with a towel. Actually, he had a good point
"Still, Kyo I think it will be bad if you're ignoring your whip skill."
"Yeah, I know, I trained it later with something that isn't as dangerous as this, don't you see how easy for this rapier to cut that Radiz in half!?"
"Is that so, well I guess you have a point, and Ume... it's not like you're doing it wrong either, but you might want to move a little closer, and both of you still get the exp, so no one is losing anything right.?"
"Hoo.. someone suddenly become an expert, Hmph! listen, I've been doing archery since I am entering junior high, I don't need your advice!."
*Sigh* hard headed as always, anyhow right now was Serizawa and Toriko turn, I looked at them and Serizawa said. "E...uhm.... It's fine, Ume-chan can take my turn if she wants it."
We walked a bit and found another victim, at Ume 2nd try.
She straightened her back, nocked the arrow and ... it hit, the arrow hit the Radiz right on the middle of its body, it still alive though.
"Oryaaaaa!!" What the!? She dropped her bow and running toward the Radiz while her hands held an arrow. By the time she faced the Radiz, Ume stabbed her arrow at the Radiz flesh, soft and pudgy, and made a satisfying squish as the arrowhead sank deep enough, she pulled it back and a white texture splattered at her body, without mercy she stabbed the Radiz back and forth.
"Hmph! easy game~!" ...That wasn't archery though, *sigh*
Once again, we met the third victim "Serizawa, you can take mine."
"I...is that okay? ...thanks" She put Toriko and the ground, the calm chicken suddenly clucking and ran toward the Radiz, it squawked, clucked, flapped her wings and shredded the Radiz with her iron talon. After Toriko finished, she pecked the Radiz corpse and ate it.
"...W..Wait! Toriko! don't it eat it!"
"Why? It is fine, right? I heard it tasted like a radish, and it has the same body structure as a radish either."
"U...um...that's not the problem, I want to clean it before she eats it." ...So that was the problem huh,
Anyhow next was Ume turn again,
"...You know~ why don't you show how to kill the Radiz to your dearest sister?" Her tone was slightly mocking, well...
I curled my fingers around the knife tip and aimed at the Radiz, as my arm wheeled backward, the Radiz stepped a little bit, I slightly moved my hand, followed its direction. Then I threw the knife toward the Radiz, I can image a clear path created between me and the Radiz. The knife spun around and precisely flew following the path I imagined inside my mind and it created a gap in the Radiz body and hit the ground. The Radiz still moving around.
"See!? Told you it's hard to kill it from a distance!"
Ignoring Ume words, I aimed at the Radiz and threw another knife and another one. Both of them created another gap on the Radiz body, yeah this was easier to use rather than the javelin. Once the Radiz dropped down, I walked and picked up my knives.
"Did you say something? dearest sister~?" I said while cleaning my knives and sheathed it back.

"Tch!! Graaah!!" Well, well, looked like she was in high spirit huh.
Anyhow, we did this for 4 hours, Ume got better at hitting moving target, Kyo... well.. still a little bit sluggish, but he's somewhat better in his own way, Serizawa still the same. By the way, they raised into level three and I had 905 exp.
Ume: Daily Spin 1/5, RNG 0/5, Knockback Arrow 4/5, and she equally put her stats into DEX and STR.
Kyo: BGM 2/5, Volume 1/5, Cuffs 2/5, and he spread his stats into AGI, DEX, CHA and LUK.
Serizawa: Immortal Chicken 5/5 [Call 1/5, Command 0/5], Protect 0/5, Avian Empathy 0/5, and she put her stats into WIS and CHA with 3:1 ratio.
"Hee, I just know we get another bonus point when maximizing the [Ability]"
"U..um..yeah, the instructor at the training ground is the one that said this."
"....Mine didn't tell anything"
"You sure, Lil-Kamiya? I remembered that he told us something about it, well, it's not like rushing with an [Ability] is a good thing either, I think for the one without fighting experience and we should be more versatile rather than focus on a single [Ability] this way, we will be ready for anything, though it's up to you in the end."
Whoaaa... What the hell!? this was new, I never knew Kyo was a wise one.
"Anyhow, are you guys going back? I think I still want to do more Grinding."
"Yeah, whatever, just get back in time, or we'll leave you" Said Ume while she unfolded her bow.
"I think I head back too, it's almost 2 and I'm kinda hungry, sorry dude." Said Kyo, next to him was a bunch of Radiz corpse.
"U...um...me too, I'm a little tired, sorry." Said Serizawa while she put Toriko at her bag.
"Bwok!!" Said Toriko... I didn't understand what she meant though. But, were they going to ignore her? I mean, was she this big before? Right now, she almost as big as a Turkey and she had a fluffy white feather surrounding her body.
Anyhow after they left, I wandered around searching for Radiz... It was weird though, I remembered a week ago I never had any intention to become Adventurers and yet, here I am, Grinding all by myself. It was a little hard for Grinding all by myself since the other group that had more people was dominating the spot, and against all odds, after 30 minutes of grinding alone
"Oh, I leveled up, let's see.. Raised [Mini Map] by two and ooh"
Mini Map: 5/5, Unlock [ Map 0/5, Ward 0/5]
"It didn't give an explanation huh, *sigh* alright, here I go"
