[You earned bonus skill proficiency!]
Three levels out of the whole nest was rather good, I am only 11 levels from reaching max level and finally being able to Change my Class once more, most likely I\'ll also be able to breakthrough my Spirit Orb Rank at long last and reach Rank 3, which will grant me two more Vampire Spirits as well! It will certainly be interesting what I\'ll get next. Hendrick and Saphira have already been an amazing help through the journey so far, so I have quite the high expectations.
"Well, that Rock Goblin King was a rather resilient fighter, but at the end it wasn\'t anything to worry about." Laughed Hendrick.
"It was pretty easy, yeah. A pity we weren\'t able to drink its blood though. Usually high ranked monster\'s blood is always sweet and flavorful." Eleanora sighed.
"Hmmm, I prefer sweets than blood, but blood\'s okay too." Said Saphira.
"Well, I can give you some of my own blood as well, if you\'re thirsty." I said, offering Elenora a bottle of my blood.
"Aaah~ This is fine as well!" Eleanora quickly began to enjoy it.
Vampire Spirits, as they develop, gain more Vampiric Traits, this also means that once they get too exhausted, drinking blood can recover their stamina very quickly and even grant them temporary boosts to their stats, skills, or magic.
Once we walked outside of the Rock Goblin Nest for a second time to quickly gather all the corpses inside of my Inventory, I greeted everyone else.
"That was a bit too easy than I imagined…" Said Clarice. "Did you had to poison them so severely? It kind of took away the fun of it!"
"Lady Clarice, I don\'t think acting this ungrateful with Blake is a good idea…" Clark sighed, as he noticed my rather annoyed face.
"Well if you\'re feeling like having a big challenge, then I\'ll let you fight our next encounters without weakening them at all." I smiled back at her.
"Huh? I-Is this some challenge or something? I\'ll easily crush them now that I\'ve received the blessings of the Holy Spirits multiple times, I am feeling ten times stronger than before." She smiled while swinging her giant axe around. "But what will I get if I win the bet?"
"Bet?" I wondered. "Well, what do you want?"
Clarice looked at me while squinting her eyes, then suddenly grew redder as she started thinking about strange things.
"T-Then I\'ll force you in… accompanying to… eat something! But you\'ll eat what I tell you to eat, heh!" She smiled cockily.
"You mean a date?" I wondered.
"I-It\'s not a date you idiot!" Clarice said. "I-I would never want to go on a date with a disgusting idiot like you! Farm boy! N-Nobody likes you…"
"I am not interested in dating anyone right now so I\'ll have to decline your offer." I said.
"E-Eh? I-It\'s not a date! Uuugh!" Clarice started getting angrier while also, at the same time, feeling embarrassed with herself.
"Did you had to be so harsh with her?" Eric sighed.
"Well Clarice\'s been a bit of an asshole this whole time." Erdrich said.
"I-I think you might have heartbroken her…" Alberta sighed.
"Eleanora, Erika, and Elizabeth are more than enough." I sighed.
"But she just meant going to eat something…" Eric said.
"Eric I am not a clueless man…" I sighed. "So anyways, Clarice. If you win I\'ll train you to grow stronger, how about it? But if I win the bet and you get your ass beaten, I\'ll ask for a wish myself."
"A-A wish?!" Clarice got confused, wondering what I meant. The drill-haired blonde girl began trembling as she looked at me with weirded out eyes. "F-Fine…"
"Lady Clarice for your own good I think you should stop talking so much nonsense." Clark recommended. "You\'ve gotten yourself in quite the problem now."
"Shut it Clark! We\'ll just beat those monsters and then show him, heheh…" Clarice began laughing evilly.
The rest of her party looked a her with rather tired expressions. Having her as their leader was a torture by itself already. Well, they sought that themselves so they\'ll have to bear with it.
"I am sorry for my party leader, she\'s just like that. Perhaps living in a spoiled family of rich nobles made her overly selfish." Said Patricia, apologizing in behalf of her team leader.
"O-Oh, you don\'t have to apologize for her, Patricia, don\'t worry." Erdrich said carefreely.
"Erdrich…" Patricia blushed a bit. "I see. Not only you\'re so strong and manly, with powerful muscles that can destroy even rocks, but you\'re kindhearted…"
"H-Huh? …Is that so?" Erdrich felt slightly nervous as Patricia fell for him more and more with each passing second.
"Erdrich is quite the asshole sometimes…" Eric said.
"Shut it, four eyes…" Erdrich whispered to him.
"See?! He called me four eyes!" Eric complained, but Patricia just laughed at that.
"Haha, and such a good sense of humor as well! I was also thinking he\'s an annoying four eyes, but you just said it." Patricia laughed.
"Gehh…" Eric felt even more down.
"J-Just ignore them…" Alberta comforted him. "Y-You\'re not an annoying four eyes, Eric…"
Like that, we had a small break. I didn\'t wanted to cook right away so I simply made some sandwiches and distributed them around. With everyone\'s stamina back in full, we swiftly decided to move towards our next destination, the last monster nest in here before confronting the two Demon Tribes, the Fiery Grizzly.
As we made our way towards the Fiery Grizzly territory, several students were curious about this monster and how strong they could be. And well, they were up for a surprise because they were very tough.
