Chapter 13- the fan art
The window that popped up in front of me was the hidden mechanism interface of the fan showing three empty slots and under those were options.
Fighting Fan ArtsNo artNo artNo artHidden Fan Blades: puts hidden blades into the fan and only triggers when you will it to. The blades are as sharp as the blade you transformed.Hidden needles: Locked requires Beginner lv 4Half moon boomerang: locked requires beginner lv 8
I look at the Fan Arts and see that only one is available to be used since the skill is still level 1 but the locked skills do tell what the required level is to unlock the other two skills. Since the Art is pretty much a separate skill system apart from my personal skills dedicated to using the fan as a weapon which is very interesting.
“Sakura I just found out how to use this skill!” I jump up in excitement and hugged Sakura
“Silvi-sama I am glad you are happy and I am glad that your personal skill is useful to you” she says just taking the hug and thinking nothing of it
“Oh! Sorry did I hurt you? I was just so happy about this clan skill” I say after releasing her
“Well now that the happy moments have passed I need to deliver this message to you from Lord Iga” Sakura says suddenly in a low and serious voice
I was very surprised to hear that ‘father-in-law’ has a message to give me since everyone there including my two younger sisters have been busy with the neighbouring clan.
“Does it have to do with the neighbouring clan?” I say becoming serious
“ Yes, it is as you say. The Chi clan’s border activities during the last few days were increasing exponentially but somehow in one day meaning yesterday their activities went to an all time low. All their troops have disappeared in the night indicating that they retreated from the borders but that is not all. The rebel army have also gone further into the territory making not only our agents lose sight of them even our allies’ lost sight of them. “ Sakura explains
“So what does ‘father’ want me to do?” I ask
“Nothing. He just wants you to be careful and to inform him if you see anything suspicious while you are out training” She answers
“I see.” I say while thinking a bit
‘So the Chi clan is either making their move or changing their objective. Well either way nothing good will happen if those choices are chosen’ I thought
I look at Sakura and ask her what she thought about the Chi clan’s actions.
Sakura says that the Chi clan might have given up on attacking this territory because of the lord’s activities in strengthening the defences in the borders. However, she quickly says that the possibility of the Chi clan retreating was a big 20% chance since they have deep hatred towards our clan plus those people love to war.
As we were talking about the Chi clan issue a notification about someone trying to call me appeared.
The person trying to contact me was Lute which surprised me that she was on so early. I completely forgot to check if anyone was on when I logged in because I was occupied on the fan skill. I looked at my friend list and noticed that all three of them were on.
We separated at about 3 am (GT) where the real world was about 1pm then I logged back on at about 10 pm making a 9 hour interval. Doing the math about 27 hours GT have passed.
I press ‘answer call’ on the notification and a voice came through.
“Silvi! Now that you’re on do you want to meet us at the next training site for lv 10-20? The three of us are here training to catch up to you and Sakura.” Lute says
“Sure, I will be there shortly” I tell her
“I will call Sakura after” She says
“no need she is right next to me right now” I told her
“really? Ok. We are right now in the forest fighting Brown Fur Boars” Lute says
“Got it see you soon “I tell her and turned the call off
“Sakura we’re meeting with the others in the forest in the next training site fighting Brown Boars” I tell Sakura
“Ok, if memory serves the Brown Fur Boars are located that way” Sakura says leading the way
Explorers and adventures get a message/calling system except adventures only get it when they become adventures otherwise they won’t know anything about it. According to them the system was created by god whom we players know god by the AI in charge of the game. The game is balanced to explorers and adventures.

I follow Sakura to the destination and while I was walking I placed ‘Hidden Fan Blades’ onto one of the empty slots. I tested the Art by making blades appear and disappear until I got the hang of making the blades appear. The blade will appear almost immediately after willing it to plus I can change the length of the blades to the same length of the original blade. This means that I basically still have the same weapon but a better version.
It took around 10 min to get to where the girls are training at and when we arrived we were greeted with a charge from a boar. I was surprised because I remembered that my stats were reset after getting my class so I was back to my level 1 stats.
Luckily a black charm appeared in front of me completely blocking the charge with a barrier and because the boar charged into it and could not break it, it suffered a backlash and a stun. Sakura finished it off with her archery since she was smart enough to distribute her stats.
I thanked her and she just said that it was her duty.
We went to where the other girls are and conversed. I asked Lute and Mari why they were on so early and they just answered that they just ate and went back online to sleep since it was proven that in game sleep is the same as real life sleep. I would have done the same but I have family life as well as a game life.
I gained a total of 7 levels from killing the wolves making me level 16 and almost 17 in only a few more %. I asked the girls what their levels were and was surprised that they have pretty much caught up to me. No they really surpassed me in level even Sakura because she had time on her hands to train a bit.

This made me very sad because now I am back at the beginning at being the lowest level of the group even thou level doesn’t really mean much if there is only a 10 level difference. I asked how they got so high in less than a day.
It turns out that leveling from 1-100 is fast and takes less than 20 days if a person trains hard. This means that you can level to second class advance easily after doing all the training camps.
Sakura and I joined them in their training and worked together fighting boars and living tree stumps. Of course I had distributed my free points to the required stats which is indicated with a star beside it.
All classes have two main stats that they are recommended to raise *Guys think old Maplestory when warriors need dex and str*. My class is the same where it requires both Dex and Luk with Luk being the primary and Dex as a secondary. I have decided to put 3 dex and 7 luk every level.
Luk: 65 > 177
Dex: 70>118
My damage depends not on raw strength but on precise strikes, fatal blows, and critical attacks. The higher my Luk is the greater fatal and critical damage I can do plus it increases abnormal status like bleed and stuns.
