“Boss, I think I have experienced enough for me to try training by myself so can I have some wood before I set out to work on my skill?”Blaike had said in an earnest tone.
“Fine, take a piece, then leave this town my only requirement is that you won’t come back in a time of need.”
After his week of working in the shop Blake left the Capital without informing anyone but the shopkeeper and his new traveling group of two slaves and two beasts. Only a day out on their journey and they had realized that the food supply that had been brought would be nowhere enough as a result the group had to find a small town to rest in or hunt for their own food.
The time that was spent on the road by Blaike was enjoyable as the scenery was beautiful with lush fields near and mountains growing further in the distance. In the time that he wasn’t enjoying the view he was practicing his skills on the wood sword from the Glade he got summoned near.
Equa Sword
30/36 Durability
1 sharpness
Can use carpentry and some other wood to
-Add 1 total durability
-Repair 1 durability
Can use woodcarving to
-Add one sharpness
Cost: 1 durability
Blaike had used the skill on his sword with the piece of lumber from the shop keep only increasing the durability not using woodcarving.
By the third day of travel the group ended in a small village that provided enough food and water for the group to go further while only requesting that they would pay an appropriate amount having Blaike give one of his few large silvers. The village glad to receive such an amount sent them on their way the next day saying that they should stay the night before.
As the days passed the group talked about what to do and going into depth of their histories with the only one quiet being Blaike as he kept looking towards where they were going and the scenery.
The days continued to pass and they were without view of villages Blaike had continued to train his magics either by fighting with Satoru then healing both of them or coming up with new ones like he had with “light”. He had developed spells to move energies in order to heat things or cool them and a “barrier” that could stop physical and magical attacks as well as a brick and mortar wall. The last spells he developed were based on “weigh” as they would allow him to decrease his weight instead of only increasing it and pull him to an object.
The current magic that he was attempting was not a singular type, but a mixture of void and divine in order to make a pocket of storage. This magic is more complicated than the others that were developed as it fused opposite magics and was making a pocket realm.
Upon many failures Blaike had finally succeeded by making a small dimension only big enough fit his phone and money. After finally succeeding Blaike checked his full stat screen.

“What I’ve never looked at my Skills before? Well I better look at those.”
Blaike Ada Douglas

Upgrade: Stone Rank || Swordsmanship: Coal Rank
Casting: Copper Rank || Meditation: Stone Rank
“Well that is interesting, but I can’t say that it’s good unless I know what these ranks are.” After saying that another red screen appeared.
Skills and Resistances are divided into ranks and these are the ones you have discovered.
Stone -> Coal -> Copper-> Iron -> ??? -> Gold -> ???
“Nice so my strongest skills are linguistics. Any way now I know I need to work harder on my skills and more specifically I’d like to get Upgrade and Swordsmanship into Copper or Iron rank.”
As the journey continued a forest had appeared in the distance letting the Group have shade separate from a few trees appearing now and then. The forest had a river running through it and a town just outside it.
When inside the town Blaike had bought more wood in order to practice his [Upgrade] skill on his sword, but instead of upgrading the sword directly with the wood he upgraded the wood into Equa wood to see how this would affect the conversion rate of the wood into durability. Since the woods were of the same type it greatly reduced the consumption rate when turning them into Durability and as it also used the skill twice it seemed like a great way to progress the skill.
Since he had only tried the [Upgrade] skill on woods he decided to test it out on some stone after leaving the town. The group left the town the day after heading to the forest only to be stopped by a man in armor saying that only people in the Adventurer's Guild could enter forcing them to go back to town in order to find the guild.
Unlike the rest of the town the Adventurer’s Guild Hall was a large and well decorated building. The clerk that was on duty at the time was a Man permeating with an aura of danger as Blaike entered only releasing it when their conversation began.
“Sir I would like to get permission to enter the woods just outside this town so I don’t have to detour around.”
“Sorry, I can’t give you entry unless at least one of your group's members is an E rank member or half of it is F rank.”
“Fine how much does it cost to join so that we can pass.”
“A small silver per member joining the Guild.”
“Fine I’ll pay for three of us to join since the other 2 are slaves.” Before handing over the necessary money he pulled it out of his new “Storage” spell.
“Fancy spell you got there that would be interesting to see more often.” after saying that he handed of paperwork to register and took the money placing it under the counter.
The paperwork was just a contract saying as long as you do a quest a month your Guild card won’t be suspended and what your name, race, and role in the party was. After filling it out Blaike, Satoru, and Alan handed it over only to be brought towards the back of the Building being forced to leave Kat and Jahleel in the entrance of the Guild Hall.
