Today was the day I had been waiting for. The day when I was going to make a second tiered ring. I went to go train at the training grounds.

"I want a spar" I asked the instructor. With that he got his wood swords and I held my kunai. I was able to battle him on equal grounds. We fought for two minutes straight before one of his thrusts hit my chest and we called it his victory.

"Youve gotten so much better" The instructor praised me. "Its all thanks to you" I said. I decided I was ready to go out into the forest with grand elder. They hadn't left yet, it wasn't time for them to go. I waited at the gate not saying anything. I heard two people talking and when they came into sight I knew it was them. I had brought my kunai with me this time. "Is it okay if I come" I asked.

"Yes you can come we wont do anything dangerous." I responded with "I can take care of myself now."

Your to precious to risk we stay out of dangerous areas. "Youve really been exploring haven't you?" I said.

"Yes we have" rose said. I wanted to collect some food I could bring over to madisons house.

"Alright lets go" I said. With that we walked out of the clearing outside of the outpost and plunged into the woods. I followed along in the back we did a circle around the outpost looking for all the safe things we could get. Then we did a much larger loop just beyond the loop we did first. The spoils were 10 year rabits and fruits and vegetables.

"Why don't we grow these things inside of the outpost I said. Because it doesn't make sense its much better to get resources from the forest because there's so much life. I wish I had a spatial bag I thought to myself. We finished that loop and headed back I couldn't hep but dig up a blue ten year flower.

When we were inside the gates I wished them both goodby. And with my spoils I went to madisons house I planted the flower next to the berry bush.

Then I went up and knocked on her door. With a swing it was pulled all the way open. "What did you come to visit for?" she asked me.

"I came to give you food" I said. "Where did you get this food? Did you go out in the forest today?"

"Yes I did and I brought you a flower I said while pointing at the blue flower. "oh thank you so much" She said to me.

I handed her the sack full of 10 year food.

I cant come in today as I'm just about to craft an ability ring. Sit with me outside I asked. "Okay she said as she came out with a handful of 10 year berries.

"Let me see this flower up close that you brought me." I showed her what it looked like and she gave me a little hug. "Are we officially dating?" I asked her. "You have to take me on a real date first."

"Thats true we should go to the bar during the day and just get plates of food. That sounds like fun right?" I said

"Yes that would be nice, lets go tomorrow." She said. "Okay" I replied.

"With that date arranged Im afraid I have to leave" I said. With that she asked "Why do you have to go?"

"Because I just reached 1000 mana its time to make a ability ring." I said.

"Alright Ill see you tomorrow" She responded

With a wave I left her lawn and walked down the road towards the crafting building. I climbed up the steps and walked through the door as I walked in front of the shopkeeper I could feel his gaze. I didn't say anything and kept walking. Soon I arrived at the chest. I needed to find a good heartbeat. I found a jelly fish heartbeast. I put it in the chest and dumped 1000 mana in the chest while thinking about adding a shadow clone. I reached in after that and grabbed the second their ring. It was all white with a small black jellyfish carved in it.

Shadow Clone Duplication~The user of this ring can have two shadow clones at the same time

With that I had made my second their two ring.

I went back to my home with almost a hundred mana.

I wrapped up the ability ring in some brown cloth. Sat it on my bed stand and then studied kunai usages before going to sleep.

The next day I woke up early and got to the gates were cannon man was standing. I went up the walls on a staircase.

"What brings you here so early?" he asked. "I have a present to deliver," I spoke. "A ring for grand elder?" he asked.

"No I'm giving it to rose" I said. "But you already gave her a ring." Her body is now strong enough to have a second tier ring."

"Can I see the ring" he asked me. I brought it out and had cannon man inspect it. "Its a genuine teir two ring alright" he said to me.

After he held it for a while he gave it back. Then he turned facing forward again.

His job must be very lonely I thought to myself. I watched the road and eventually I saw grand elder and rose walking down it together. I walked down the steps and off the wall. I stood at the gate waiting for them.

They cam close enough to talk and then asked "Do you want to go into the forest today?"

I spoke "No" I replied. I came with a gift for you rose. I took the ring out of my pocket and held it up for both of them to see.
