The three wolves attacked me all at once but because of my increased speed and reaction I can dodge the attacks and counter one at least 1-2 of them before retreating a distance. However, I always look towards Sakura's direction to see if she was allright.
Sakura was not only distracting the alpha but sometimes she would help me out by shooting 1-2 wooden arrows at the wolves to distract them and cause a bit of damage.
The alpha seems to be having trouble getting close enough for an attack because Sakura would always maintain a certain distance using her throwing knives. Her knives would only hit the target once in a while because the alpha was much more flexible at dodging the attacks but by dodging it misses a chance to close in on her.
'So I don't have to worry about her since she can hold her own for now' I said putting my concentration on the 3 wolves in front of me
' The faster I finish these 3 the faster I can help her with the alpha' I thought
During the moment I re-casted my buffs to renew the duration on them and attacked the wolf to the right so I can use the centre wolf to block the left wolf from carelessly attack me.
The right wolf also attacked when I moved but I knew what was coming so I just used Phantom and side stepped to the right putting me in a better position because now the other wolves have to take another route to attack me. I stabbed my blade into the wolf's side, neck and then the eyes since they were weak points marked by my eye skill. Each hit was a critical since I struck right on the point and causing major damage towards the wolf.
When the centre and left wolves appeared from my left and right sides almost encircling me trying to track me with their nose I jumped above the wolf I was fighting since it was almost dead. I did the final blow towards the wolf as I jumped on top of its back and stabbed my blade stright into its forehead. The wolf made its final sound and collapsed turning into light.
You have leveled up
I didn't have the time to rest as I was then attacked by wolf to my left since my 'Phantom' ran out making me jump back towards the other wolf. The wolf behind me pounced jaws open aiming at my back and forcing me to twist my body making the wolf miss its attack but instead it collided with me.
The attack failed but I still lost some Hp and Sp because it was a difficult movement and was only possible with Acrobatics.
If someone else were to do the same thing they would either lose some hp or sp maybe even get a debuff.
The wolf that was in front of me also pounced when the wolf and I hit the ground making me twist my body again and kick the ground to get behind the fallen wolf using it as a shield. They collided causing both of them damage but since I was behind the flesh shield the force of the pounce also pushed me down causing some damage towards me.
The wolf's pounce got both the fallen wolf and me to fly and hit the ground with a *thud*. I flew further than the other wolves and took less damage so I got up first and saw that both wolves were on each other in confusion.
I took the chance to cut down the wolf on top because it took the least amount of damage compared to the one on the bottom. It took 3 stabs in the head to finally die and since the other wolf was still in pain and unable to get up I took the liberty to bring its suffering to its end.
Notifications came in front of me telling me I levelled 2 more times. I went into my stats quickly since there aren't any more enemies after me and distributed my 60 free points. 30 in str, 20 in dex, and 10 in luk.
After finishing my stats I casted 'Phantom' and ran towards the alpha still fighting Sakura. The alpha responded and turned to where I was with its senses since it could not see me. Sakura who saw me disappear reacted to the wolf turning its head but piercing its left eye and right front leg with a couple of knives making the alpha cry in pain.
I took that moment and struck its head with my blade but its random movements made me miss and hit its neck causing some damage since I didn't hit a critical area.
"Buy me some time as I distribute my abilities" Sakura said
"Sure! but don't take long" I answered
'She must have gotten exp from the exp share in the party system' I thought
The alpha got back up turning its body towards me and growling in rage, it made a howl and pounced. I also jump at it to the left out of its vision since its left eye is damaged. The attack missed me and allowed me counter by stabbing its neck again and slashing the front leg but it denied me by jumping back.
'So its attacking and retreating... What a defensive wolf' I swore inside
I had to get another good attack in like before and I knew what I had to do.
I rushed the alpha at my full speed blade in hand and eyes on target. The alpha watched me with its one eye and jumped to my left where my blind spot was and tried to bite me only to watch me disappear and was stabbed in the snout.
I rushed at the wolf fully aware that my left side was completely unguarded and so when the alpha jumped to my left and attacked I used 'Phantom' to disappear and ducked onto the ground under its mouth allowing me to stab upwards.
The alpha was in pain but was still able to swipe its claw into my left arm causing a bleeding debuff and me flying to the left. I landed face first onto the ground and was confused at what happened.
The alpha ran at me while my back was still turned thus didn't know what was going on until I heard a yell from a distance making me turn towards the area. Sakura was standing with a bow in her hand drawn and firing at the alpha slowing its advance. She bought enough time for me to stand up and retreat towards her.
"Are you ok?" She said still firing
"Yea thanks" I said turning around facing the alpha again
"Its already weaken so let's just end it" She said looking at the alphas state
"Got it" I answered blade in hand
Sakura said that she only had about 2 throwing knives left and plenty of crappy wooden arrows. She judged that the alpha will die if I can get in 1-3 more clean attacks on it so she will keep it distracted while I look for an opening and ran to the left.
I stayed where I was using the last of my Sp on my skills and watched the alpha as it runs towards Sakura. Although she said that she will distract it she was able to do significant damage to the alpha with her last knives. I then took off running towards the alpha and used 'Phantom' making me invisible. The alpha was so occupied that it didn't see me coming towards it and then a blade went into its neck making it give one last cry before falling and disappearing.
When the alpha vanished leaving his loot I felt exhausted making me stagger to the side and hitting the base of the large tree. I decided to just sit down and recover my points and looked at Sakura as she yelled if I was allright and I answered "yes just tired". She didn't come over to me after I said I was allright and just said "I'll collect the loot from all the wolves so please rest".
I sat there looking at Sakura as she went around collecting all the drops looking pretty tired as well. After about 1-2 min she walked over to where I was sitting and gave me the items the wolves dropped.
You have gained

_________________________________________
I gave Sakura half of the items telling her that I need inventory space for other things if I couldn't sell the items later. She was given 3 fur, 5 normal claws and the alpha claw, 10 tooth, the glove because it gives her attack speed, and 2S.
I was about to get up but trunk of the tree suddenly gave out and broke taking me into the trunk. It was so sudden that I grabbed onto Sakura and she grabbed me taking her into the trunk as well.
We fell into the wooden trunk but that wasn't all because the inside of the tree started glowing bright blue making us cover our eyes. When we opened our eyes we saw a place full of statues and a kind of shrine. The moon above was full meaning that either we were teleported to the future or that this was not the same place as before.
I got a stats boost from the full moon so I knew that it was not an illusion. Sakura was checking the statues that looked like foxes and said that these were old. She told me that we got teleported into a separate dimension.
'Wow this game is so advance that it has different dimensions. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a cow level in this game' I thought
"So how do we get out?" I asked
"I don't know because it seems like there is a barrier behind us because I can't seem to get through it" Sakura said
"Well no use just hanging around here, let's try our luck in the shrine or course carefully" I said as a walked towards the shrine stairs with Sakura following
We walked up the age old stairs to the front of the shrine and inspected the outside.
The shrine looked very old and had been abandoned a long time ago but the place looked very rich during its time because the wood was made from rare material.
We opened the front door and walked in full alert watching for any traps or mobs. However, nothing happened and all we saw was a mask in the middle of the large room.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
We walked over to the mask and inspected it. The mask was white and in a shape of a fox with nine things pointing outwards making it look like how kinds draw the sun but instead of a circle it was a fox face.
"So what do you think it’s for?" I asked
"Well maybe it’s some sacred item that grants people wishes or it could be a cursed item that was sealed here." Sakura said
I went towards the mask to pick it up making Sakura tell me to be careful and I told her that this might be the thing keeping us in this dimension. Sakura followed me towards the mask looking worried.
I went up to the where the mask is placed, picked it up and prepared for something to happen like a trap but nothing happened. Since nothing happened I thought it was just some junk that was placed here but I used 'Observe' on it.
You have found the nine tailed mask that use to belong to the successor of the Nine Tail Fox. It was once a clan of special assassins and spies that deceives others through looks.
Then suddenly a notification came up.
Mysterious classA mysterious unknown class change has been presented to you because you have reached the requirements. Do you wish to change your class to this unknown classYesNo
'So this mask is a requirement for unlocking a hidden class' I thought reading with a surprise
"What is going on Silvi?" Sakura asked
"I have found a hidden class but don't know what it is" I told her and asked her opinion on wither or not to change
"I think you should accept because special classes are very hard to get" She said
I clicked yes and hoped that the class is good, after accepting the mask in y hand transformed into light surrounding me and soon disappeared with a notification.
You have changed you class to Nine Tails
You have gained the title 'The Successor of the Fox'
Due to the class change all free points used up till now will be reseted.
You have learned the skill 'Stat arrangement'
You have learned 'Disguise'
You have learned 'Copy'
You have learned 'Assassinate'
You have learned 'Track'
You have learned 'Fox fire'
You have learned 'Trickery'
I looked at the notification in front of me and smiled since I gained a lot of new skills and some are for attacking which I was lacking before. I was also really happy and surprised about the stat reset because now I can put my points on stats that are really needed by my class. There was also the skill stat arrangement which made me wonder.
I was about to inspect all the things I got with the class change but then I noticed another light coming from beside me meaning that Sakura also got a class change.
"Did you also get to change into the same class as me?" I asked
"No after you got your class I got a choice to become the class 'Fox Guardian', this class was made to serve the 'Nine Tail' class." She answered
"You didn't really have to choose it if you didn't want to you know" I said
"Well there was no problem in choosing it because I already serve you plus this class has a lot of pros where the cons are just that I have to protect you since I will lose a lot of my stats when you die."She said
"Really what are the pros?" I asked
"I can learn any skill I want from any class except special hidden classes, when I am with you I will gain a 3% increase in stats, when we tag team against an opponent we can infect 5% more damage. Finally I get half the same night bonus as the mobs." She said
'Wow what an op job' I thought 'But she said that the only con would be to protect me because if I die she will lose all the bonus plus a 20% reduction in stats. This means that I will be responsible for her life.'
"Wait! What if I die? You know that I am not like you. When I die I would come back later and you might die with your stats reduced" I said to Sakura worried
"Do not worry because according to the voice I will also come back alive when you do. I will live as long as you live once you completely die and disappear I will also go" She said with a smile "O yes if I were to die I would come back in a few days as well just like you"
"I see that is a relief. I don't want your death to be my fault" I told her

After we finished we noticed that the room was somewhat smaller than before and was becoming darker. Then a light under us began to shine blinding us taking us back outside to where we battled the wolves. We looked around the area and saw that the huge tree was gone and had transformed into a normal average height tree. The sun was about to come out making a sun rise telling us that it was almost morning. We started walking towards the program camp leaving behind last night battlefield.
[*Ok so for those who don't really understand how Sakura's class work:
1. Sakura will become basically like Silvi a player except that she will not log out when she dies. Who knows where she goes.
2. Sakura will only die when Silvi deletes her character WHEN Sakura has not revived yet.
3. Sakura will not die but will lose her immortality if she is alive while Silvi deletes her character*]
