Chapter 4: Defence Specialized and Concentration

Yosh! Lets also do our best today!

Continuing from yesterday, Kaede logged in to New World Online.

Lets go to the forest today too! I also want new skills

Kaede wasnt the type who is engrossed on levelling up, but still, she is attracted by the exciting feeling that you get when you gain a new skill. Like filling a bookshelf with books, it is a moment of fun.

I should get skills that will raise VIT mostly right!

And, with Kaedes usual slow walking pace, *TekuTeku* she went towards outside of the town.

I wonder what should I try

She thought like that, and the first thing that came to her mind was sensory awareness. If you can be aware of the enemys presence from the start, there shouldnt be a more convenient thing than that.

Yosh! Im going to do it!

Kaede placed her large shield on the ground, closed her eyes, and searched for presences.

Actually, this approach.

Is wrong, big time.

The real approach is written on the conquerors bulletin board, hit the unseen enemy with an attack using bow and arrows or throwing stones as if you know that it is there.

It was like that, although it seems that there is a hole in the system. In the first place, if Kaede acquires it in this approach, Kaede would be able to use Sensory Awareness in the real world.

Kaede wasnt that kind of superman.

And Kaede who doesnt know about that closed her eyes and concentrated mindlessly.

She just did that, after three hours.

To Kaedes ears who had just exerted patience for unknown reasons, a system message had arrived.

Skill Meditation had been acquired

A-re, Meditation ? It wasnt Sensory AwarenessI see, thats too bad

Just like that, when she tried to stand up, she noticed that her body was heavy. She opened both of her eyes, and when she checked her body, from centipedes and caterpillars that are small fries, to wolves that were a bit stronger, they clinging to Kaedes defenceless trying to attack it.

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!!!

With a scream, *ZakkuZakku* she defeated the centipedes and wolves by stabbing them with her short sword, to the STR 9 Kaede, it was very difficult. The enemies couldnt be defeated at all. But, they are too weak and cannot wound Kaedes body, so she can stab the blade to her body without worries.

But, seemingly caught by Kaedes scream, monsters were coming out one next to the other from the back.

Skill Provoke had been acquired

She is happy because of the new skill, but first she needed to escape this crisis.

And finally.

Your level had risen to 11

Fuit was a difficult fightwell then, lets check the skill!

Meditations

If used, 1% of maximum HP will recover in 10 seconds. Duration of effect is 10 minutes. No MP consumption.

While in Meditation you cannot take any attack movements.

Skill Requirement

Not lose concentration while in all kinds of pain and meditate for three hours.

Its not like I was meditating thoughwell, strong skills are welcome you know!

Next, she also checks the provoke.

Provoke

Draws the monsters attention into one point.

Skill Requirement.

Steal more than 10 monsters attention at once.

This would also be nice during levelling up

The original way, of being used by a person with highest defence powers in the party to tank, it was a skilled used in parties, but Kaede didnt look at it like that. For the reason, her AGI was so low, that even if she tries to catch up with monsters during grinding, she couldnt catch up to them. And the only person who had that kinds of worries, even in all of the players, is Kaede.

Anyways, with this, she would be able to raise her level any time.

The only left is to place the status points to VITn? There are 10 status points!

Right, you can receive twice the usual status points given at the multiples of tens. This was created that way, but to Kaede, it was an unexpected gift, and she was somehow happy with it.

Just like that, in places where Kaede doesnt know about, Kaede became a topic for a while.
