'Uh...um...okay?'

The fox grunted and pulled her easily out of the hole. 'Do you have a Name?'

'Um...Lima Bean?'

'You sound uncertain,' the falcon mused. 'Is it not a true Name?'

'I-it's something my family used to call me...'

The fox grunted again: 'Lima Bean isn't a proper Name. Hmm...How about...Dory?'

Lima Bean felt his power roll over her and she shuddered. It tried to work on her, but she resisted. No, she thought. My name is Lima Bean! Not Dory! Lima Bean! Lima Bean! Lima Bean! Lima Bean! Lima Bean! Lima Bean! Lima Bean!

She chanted her name over and over again, pushing back the fox's magic. Lima Bean! Lima Bean! Lima Bean! The fox frowned and pressed her harder, trying to force his will onto her.

She squeezed her eyes shut and chanted louder. LIMA BEAN! LIMA BEAN! LIMA BEAN! LIMA BEAN!

{Congratulations! You are the first Leaper Mouse to name yourself! The name 'Lima Bean' has been granted to the [Adolescant] Leaper Mouse! +5 to all Stats! Title [Pathmaker] granted!}

{Congratulations! For being exposed to an abundant load of mana, you gained the skill [Mana Sense]! +2 to Intelligence, +3 to Wisdom!}

She already felt the effects of her Stat boost rushing over her. Her mind felt clearer, her muscles stronger, her body denser. She felt a bit bigger, too. Everything felt better. Unfortunately, nothing managed to fix her blurred, colorless sight.

The fox dropped her and said with a snarl: 'How does a level 30 Leaper Mouse reject my will?'

The falcon cackled: 'The Great Fox was rejected! Ahahaha! By a little mouse! Ahahaha! Wonderful! Wonderful!'

'If she's not going to listen to me, it'd be too much of a danger to keep her around...'

Hearing that, Lima Bean slowly backed up towards the hole. She sensed the fox getting ready to pounce and she bolted down the hole and into the burrow. The fox followed mere inches behind her tail.

When she reached the burrow, she ran over to Bo's sleeping body and jumped over his body. Although she was bigger than him, she could still use him as a proper shield against the raging fox.

'Why you little-'

'Ugh...my head hurts...'

Both the Fox and the Leaper Mouse stopped at the voice of the young hare. Lima Bean slowly peeked out from behind him to see him pressing his paws against his long, long ears.

Then he opened his eyes and yelped. 'Woah! Cool! I leveled up a bunch!' He looked at Lima Bean who was still staring at him curiously. 'Hi, Lima Bean! I leveled up a bunch!'

'...'

He pulled away from here and jumped at the fox, who caught him with slowed reflexes. 'Hi, Michi! I leveled up a bunch!'

'O-okay, Bo. Just...settle down and tell me what you got.'

Bo grinned and said: 'I got a lot!'
