My regret was that it was a old man from stadium who was praising me for my hardwork. I won't say his personality is bad, but if you think from my point of view, then it feels weird to feed on blood though it is as nutritious as salad.
I was feeling jealous in face of Sam and also embarassed that he was princess carrying me, I quickly noted him that I was fine and can catch up to him. He let me down and we ran in a normal speed.
I realised that activity is what was pending for us nowadays. I am completely fine though, the need of blood has plummeted very much but not vanished.
The next thing I knew was hearing strange forest sounds occassionally made by birds or animals.
I found an interesting spot, I saw a furry being singing while dancing in a pond. The furry being then took a quick glance at me and jumped at me, it was 'he' and he said,
"What are you upto in this wilderness?"
Then the first question that came to mind was, why did he first notice me and not Sam while he had a big build and 0.5 times more height than me?
He ran at me like a madman with a reasonable speed. My back of the neck was attacked harshly, I didn't fainted though, I think my endurance has built up over the time. The next thing of point is, Sam took barely 12 seconds to make him speechless and motionless.
Sam went to take a look for the nearby settlements while I was with this furry being looking like a werewolf in hunting dog form.
He gained consciousness in around 5 minutes and asked what were we upto. I explained the situation and asked for his corporation. He knew that their world was within these trees and branches for thousands of years and they grow to learn martial arts.
He pointed out at Sam being a wonderful martial artist who is able to go toe and toe with a platoon leader. He told he he was a foot soldier of weakest rank and he then said this to me with eyes of shame,
"I was bathing while you guys interrupted, now please take --"
I stopped him from saying something further and took some jumbo size clothes from inventory. He tore that giant t-shirt and made a karategi out of it.
They sure are good with their hands, they got excellent survival skills even for the lowest rank. I then asked if he was in army,
He replied with," Each are given a rank and his skills are tested, the 3rd highest rank given is B+. The skills acquired needs to be atleast S grade or higher."
Accordingly to what he said, their are total of 12 ranks in total. With a specific grade or rank, you can be given a choice to join army which is great for building your endurance and get more training for any upcoming problems.
The fastest way for a warrior to increase it's rank is through diligent training and hardwork. By the way, the furry being was named Chroma, a good name meaning purity of colour.
He was trying to rank up by training, his endurance is low, but regeneration is more than quick. He can recover 5 times faster than those of his ranks, but his strength decline by twice of their.
I fall short from them in case of hardwork, I was now seeing that how lucky I was. I asked him about the main objective of mine by saying, what is the most plausible place for growth?
He responded by, the place where upper ranks train. I place for all S+ and above.
"The well of blooming"
I then got heard from Sam about a "Village" like place. Let's give it a visit.
