9 Starter small gift packages

After checking the system screen and clicking on the status of her level it showed the following.

[Martial artist] rank 0 - non combatant/no named fighter

[Experience/Fame points] 139 / 500 (upper limit of stored points is 500 before upgrade)

Tips - fight more opponents and spread your fame! Right now you are weak and unknown but one day you might be able to become famous in your area. If you cannot defeat certain people within your area travel to another location to issue challenges to spread your fame further and then return when you are stronger!

Thanks to many people watching along with the additional one hundred and the twenty points rewarded she had gotten closer to the limit of the her points or experience until it has been upgraded.

If anything the additional daily reward was a large boost daily so long as it remained as it was.

However it just meant that she had to work just as hard in order to stay relevant even if it meant being known as a martial arts crazy person.

Bad fame is still considered to be fame after all!

After checking the store many things were available for purchase in the basic form but none of them were combat abilities for now since the system was still at level zero.

If anything they were small gift or information packages.

At level zero very few things could be purchased and they were all between fifty to two hundred points for each.

However they were mostly just smaller skills or knowledge to help out with various professions or talents.

For example there was some for stamina or endurance training, speed training, strength training, balance training, avoidance training, drawing, writing, reading, basic knowledge of beasts, poisonous plants and berries etc, basic one sword training and so on.

After looking through it for a while she decided to choose from the drawing package and then wait to see how her points go up in the next couple of days.

As she paid the points her experience lowered by fifty points but she had gained an additional point which showed that someone else had heard about her fight from someone else and had put her at ninety points after her first fight.

Immediately she began to look through her drawing package that contained the basics that she knew from art class at school but also showed some of the basic skills needed for other skills like drawing precise lines, curves or other things that are often included on a map along with various measurements.

She found this helpful because once she had fully reviewed it she believed that she could begin to make slight sketches of the villages layout first and slowly expand it once she has grasped the skills.

After thinking about it for a while she sighed with relief that she did not buy anything else right away because she could learn additional training methods from the adults to gain additional fame.

As a martial artist defeating opponents wasn't the only goal but it was also to learn the teachings of others and master them.

So.. the first thing was to find herself a worthy teacher within the group of minks!

Who would she chose as her target though that would last a long time and had a fair amount of fame in zou themselves…

She thought for a while and was unsure since while Pedro was still young when roger died he did grow up to be really strong before he died and did have a capable crew before they were destroyed by big mom.

She did not know his current skills but also he taught mainly sword skills and agility based techniques.

However he did have enough insight to be able to train Carrot how to best utilise her main talents and abilities in combat and gave her the clawed gauntlets to best utilise her style in combat rather than training her in the art of the sword.

After thinking a while Alyssia decided that no matter how old he was or his current strength he was still a member of the guardians and he would probably be the best person to teach her how to use Electro to suit her style of combat but also help her hone her skills further and find several ways to help train her body further.

However first she still needed to complete another mission to gain another reward then she would stop for the day.

She remembered that if she won ten duels in a row she would again gain an additional twenty points so she needed to at least complete most of it within the day.

While she did wish to complete it she did not wish to overdo it or rush her progress because she knew that while she may become famous in the moment and for the day she may end up making people bored if she keeps something up for too long.

Any sport can seem fun to watch and many can watch it everyday if they are interested in it but eventually after watching many games within a day the games may become repetitive, boring or mundane so they may take a break or lose interest for a while.

It was the same for the martial arts duelling displays…

If she keeps attracting attention and duelling ten or more times a day eventually people will lose interest and ignore her announcement, request for a duel or even the fight in the street even though it is right in the open.

So Alyssia decided that she had a long time and she only needed to challenge up to five people per day during a short period of time when the streets were more populated to maximise her points but to also keep the viewers interest or she could spread her duels out in different locations so that she does not always entertain the same people every time and attract new viewers.

While she was at it she could also try to locate Carrot who had very high potential that was strong enough to clash with Zoro on their first meeting and also display powerful abilities later.

In her mind she began to think. 'If I get Carrot to Pedro early then perhaps she would not have to waste so much time training the sword with the musketeers which did not suit her fighting style and ability to leap into the air and stay up there for longer than others. Maybe I can also bring some others like Tristan along to see if he can guide her a little better.'

If it was Tristan, Carrot and herself within her plans then it may not be too much of an inconvenience for Pedro to train them all at once for a while and not interrupt his own training before he sets out to sea.

Though Alyssia did feel a little sorry that he was going to lose most of his lifespan because of his failure to get a copy of big moms road ponyglyph.
