Danny had no idea why Jason was suddenly yelling at the Goblin for digging what he assumed to be an escape tunnel and found it even stranger that he was yelling at the Dire Rat just for touching the crystal. The Slime's reasons became a lot more clear when he mentioned something controlling him.

As he looked around the small cave for a hiding spot or emergency exit just in case Danny realized that he had been there on his first day. Back then a green Slime brought him there ""Could that have been Jason? Nah aside from the color they look nothing alike."

Before he could really ponder it though Jason took off towards something at full speed.

When Jason touched the Crystal and suddenly was clearly in pain Danny's first idea was to use his prepared second level Mana Orb, but since he didn't fully know what was going on he decided against it. After all the Mana might somehow get transfered to the Slime as well. So instead he tried to let Orb dissipate harmlessly while reabsorbing the energy it took him to create it.

While he was trying to do it the Crystal changed significantly, growing spiky tendrils. The whole process raised his curiosity but at the same time he didn't dare get near it unlike the Dire Rat and one of the Pixie's who both approached Jason trying to help him or at least comfort him a little.

Raugar wasn't the only one surprised by the Kobold's magic and while Thokk preferred the kind that simply did damage he wasn't stupid enough to dismiss illusions and the like. "Assuming she is telling the truth and willing to help in combat I'm fine with letting her join. Kobolds may generally be weak and cowardly, they still are quite annoying to fight. I don't trust her yet of course, but then I can say the same about all of you."

He got up and put his drum back in his explorer's pack. "I say we go look for the swordsman, if they're an enemy we don't want them finding us while in combat or have them set up an ambush."

As the group made their way to whatever location Jason had in mind Danny became curious as to what kind of monster he might be, the fact that he was some kind of slime was clear but beyond that? Luckily there was an easy way to find it out. Making sure not to fall behind the others he used Monster Analysis I on the self proclaimed group leader. He briefly wondered if he should try to raise any other skill, but since he had no idea if they were heading into battle decided that using MP wasn't smart so that limited his options. Still he had few left and decided to start by analyzing all every monster in the group, while dimming his glow in hopes of maxing out Monster Analysis I and gaining Suppress Presence.

When they arrived and Jason touched the giant crystal he readied a level 2 Mana Orb in case anything happened.

The half-orc looked up when he heard the Kobold beg for it's life. He didn't have any serious trouble with them, sure he didn't like how they always fought in large troops and used tricks but at the same time they were too weak to have a choice. Anything that weak that still choose to fight when threatened was at least deserving of some begrudging respect in his book.

"If she really is alone she is no threat to any of us, if she is lying though..." He got up. "I say we keep an eye on her and check the rest of the place out."

'I don't believe we've met before, I'm Jason; current leader of this little conglomerate.... Who might you be?'


While the level up wasn't too surprising the amount of skill points was as was the other system message, in fact Danny was so preoccupied trying to allocate the points properly that he didn't that Jason didn't actually talk out loud. "Yeah, nice to meet you I'm Danny. Sorry but I'm a bit busy at the moment, trying to get the most out of 12 skill points."

Magic analysis sounded nice but if it worked like Monster Analysis I he should be able to get it just by seeing spells in action and trying to figure them out, same for Plant Analysis but with plants of course. Mana Dart was a skill he really wanted but if he was right Mana Shape was required to make it in which case learning that and using it to get the Dart version of Mana Orb made more sense. On the other hand that was a lot of skill points to use and he didn't have any forms he wanted his mana to have in mind yet besides the compressing, though if he was right about it would save him mana.

"Let's see I'll put 3 points into Mana Shape, 6 into Point Strike and the last three into Focus." If he was right about Point Strike it should give him an attack that was less mana consuming than Mana Orb and he was also sure that he could get those three skills to level up before he did.

The Pixie Danny originally offered to teach Meditation too spoke up and had a good point about the Goblins and it not being a good time to focus on teaching each other new skills. Before he could admit the Pixie was right Jason yelled that the group had to follow him.

having no idea what was going he flew up again and chased after the strange looking slime as fast as he could, while also noticing that something was up with the Slime that attacked the huge Goblin's neck which finally, for Danny at least, confirmed that he was indeed defeated.

Danny was surprised by the sudden appearance of another Pixie, one who seemed interesting in learning both Meditate I and Lesser Force but he saw no reason not to extend the offer to them as well.

"No problem, I'm willing to teach it to anyone here that might want it. All I ask in return is that if you have a skill you think I can use that you teach it to me. I'm mostly looking for stuff that costs either no mana or less than Mana Orb I"

If he was honest he would really prefer to keep Meditate I totally for himself, but he knew that giving other former humans a MP recovery skill could prove helpful. "Okay, I'll start with Lesser Force since I doubt I can use the other skill when I'm at full mp. In my case I use it by simply using mp and wanting something to move." To demonstrate Danny picked up a nearby pebble and threw it away, in a direction where it wouldn't hit any Goblins. "But using the example I gave someone else not too long, in order to learn the skill it might help to imagine a hand of some kind doing the lifting."

Just like when he taught Ash not too long ago Danny struggled with coming up with a way to explain things properly. "As for the other skill I got after I focused on MP recovery outside of battle though it took me a few times, and I also tried several times to recover MP by absorbing the ambient energy of Crystals rather than draining them, however I can also show it to you since I just used up some MP throwing that rock." The second he was done talking he landed and laid down on the cave floor and used Meditate I.
