On the table in Erica's room when she woke up was a total of 200,000 Yen, 5 Small Health Potions, what looked like the same Buckler the Kobold Lord had been using, a Medium Mana Potion, two Medium Recovery Potions, and a Small Mana Potion. A bit more notable on the table though was the battle axe that looked like the same one the Kobold Lord held, and looked quite heavy, and some bracers. A usage of Observe would reveal the data on the items. [hider=Kobold War Buckler] Name: Kobold War Buckler Item Type: Shield This special shield is very sturdy and incredibly light. Grants +5 to Defense and allows one to use Shield Block Defense, which uses Melee Weaponry and can parry against ranged projectiles. Requires 13 Strength. Rank: A tiny bit uncommon. [/hider] [hider=Bracers of Armor] Name: Bracers of Armor Item Type: Bracer Special bracers enchanted with kobold magics that, when worn, provide a small sheen of mystical armor against attack, granting +5 to Resistance when worn. Rank: A little bit less than somewhat uncommon. [/hider] [hider=Kobold Lord Axe] Name: Kobold Lord Axe Item Type: War Axe A powerful battle axe that is always held by a Kobold Lord, one of the most powerful forms of Kobolds. Deals 20 - 50 Damage and it has been enchanted by Kobold shamans so that it gives its user strength (+5 Strength). Requires 25 Strength to Wield. Rank: A little rare. [/hider] It was all pretty powerful gear if Erica ever wanted to switch up from her fists to an axe and shield, and raise her strength up to 25 of course. With more money, a somewhat healthy stock of healing potions and even a couple of Mana Potions, and some better gear Erica would probably have a somewhat easier time fighting anything, especially if she decided to try out that axe, although with her current Strength score that probably wasn't going to happen anytime soon. Breakfast went by rather normally, Sumi telling Erica not to push herself too much before she left the dojo to go do whatever. After that, Erica trained ID Create/Escape as well as Spirit Channel for a good part of the morning as well as the Ban Family Technique for another part. --- Stamina: 54 - 14 VIT = 40 Ban Family Technique: 80 - 32 Ban Family Technique = 48 --- It wasn't too difficult a training, although Erica did have to take a few breaks here and there since using the ID Create and Escape Skills over and over again did take a good chunk of stamina as did keeping Spirit Channel on until MP ran out and training the Ban Family Techniques while she waited, that training not really going all that well either. Still, a little bit of progress was gained in all three Skills, Genji coming by in the afternoon after he also returned from a class to see Erica training, so he offered to do a bit of light sparring with her. --- Stamina: 10 - 14 VIT = -6 Ban Family Technique: 91 - 33 Ban Family Technique - 10 Genji's Help = 48 Capoeria: 95 - 35 Capoeria - 10 Genji's Help = 50 --- Her stamina lasted her much longer this time around during their sparring. Unfortunately her technique was somewhat off. Luckily Genji was here to provide some pointers so that she didn't waste her time with this, allowing her to get a small bit of progress, about as much as she got before. After the bit of training and sparring with Genji, Erica decided to take her skills to the Kobolds again, deciding on just seven of them since it seemed like the more one killed, the higher the odds of a Boss Mob appearing would be. The training was a bit tough against the Kobolds, they having gotten some blows in, but ultimately Erica prevailed, slaying all seven of the Kobolds, no Boss Mob appearing this time around. Erica got a good bit of progress, Physical Endurance hitting Level 10 which also seemed to give her a good bit of bonus in terms of endurance since it also gave a point in VIT now as well. After dinner she meditated for a little while, Genji giving some good meditation tips before he left her to her work. --- Meditation: 37 - 21 Focus - 10 Helpful Advice = 6 --- The meditation went really well. Erica felt her mind clear as she focused herself, relaxing and taking deep breaths as she both calmed and focused her mind and body through peaceful, thought free meditation. After she was done the following windows appeared before her. [hider=Skill Get!] A Skill has been created through a Special Action. Through practicing clearing your mind and relaxing the body and spirit through peaceful meditation, the ability to better do so, Meditation, has been created. [/hider] [hider=Meditation] Meditation (Level 1: 0/100 EXP) (Active): +1 MP Regeneration. The art of focusing and clearing your mind to relieve stress and tension or to increase focus. Raises MP recover rate by 100% when used. Cannot be used in Combat. If used during an attempt to focus towards a focus or meditation oriented task your Focus is increased by 1%.

[/hider] After that, when she asked Genji to bring her to some type of store, Genji directed her to the computer they had in the dojo and showed her the Abyss Auction site, allowing her to use their address for her account. "You can buy all sorts of things on here, but don't be afraid to ask if there's something specific you want here. You are family after all." He gave her a smile before yawning. "Anyway, its getting late, best that we head to bed. That's where i'll be heading. Good night." After that he left, letting Erica explore the auction for a short bit if she wanted to, but otherwise heading to bed would be the best option for her.
