Clarifications

"What!? Now can you use the phrases from my world?" Nick asked totally surprised.

"Of course I can." Luna replied with satisfaction just after seeing Nick's expression.

"How can you use them? Where did you learn them?" Nick asked.

"I learned them from your memory and of course I also learned to use them in the same way." Luna replied self-reliantly.

"Now you violate my privacy? You didn't say you weren't a stalker when we first met. " Nick asked wordlessly about the situation.

"Got damn! I already told you that I'm not a stalker, also I checked your memories only because I was bored while you were unconscious, so I had no choice. " Luna replied tenderly and innocently as a tactic to distract Nick from his accusations.

"Okay, this time I won't say anything, but don't harass me all the time, Do you understand me?" Nick calmly clarified to Luna.

"Okay, but remember I did it because I was bored and nothing else." Luna replied.

"I understand, so let's move on to the main topic, what happened to me to recover so quickly? Did you do something to me? " Nick asked.

"Of course I did not help you fully recover, just I speeded up the particles in your body, so that they react faster to the nutritional properties of the environment." Luna calmly answered the question.

"The environment?" Nick asked puzzled.

"Yes, in fact, as I mentioned when we arrived at this site, this forest is considered sacred not only for its mythology, but also for the density of the surrounding spiritual power. Which is what forms the mist curtain that we observed at the beginning." Luna replied.

"I see, so that landscape was not only beautiful, but also highly nutritious for the body and spirit of people and animals." Nick said pleasantly surprised by the sudden information.

In fact, if it hadn't been for the surrounding environment, you would have died within a few hours after passing out. So you must be grateful to the divinity the next time you see her, since if it hadn't been for her decision to send you here, and end up somewhere else with the same conditions, you would possibly be dead. " Luna said again.

"So that's how it is." Nick answered thoughtfully.

Well then, what should I do from now on? Nick asked as he stood up.

"For the time being, you should fully recover, after that we will start the training once again, but this time we will look for weaker monsters to fight with." Luna said.

"Eh!? Weaker monsters? You didn't say the crocodile I faced before was a rank one beast, are there rank zero beasts? " Nick asked

"In fact, there are not rank zero beasts, the lowest is rank one." Luna replied

"Then, what do you mean, when you say I will seek and confront weaker monsters?" Nick asked in confusion.

"Okay, let me explain." Luna said as she proceeded with her explanation.

Beasts are, in short, mutated animals that are characterized mainly by their physical strength and aggressiveness. As you can imagine, beasts are governed by survival instincts which makes them relatively troublesome enemies to deal with. Due to the latter, attacking them from blind spots is ineffective if you are not an experienced warrior.

On the other hand, monsters are often a horribly grotesque animal or human, or a hybrid of both, whose powers of destruction threaten the social or moral order of the human world.

To compare with fantasy monsters in your world, the most common would be ogres and goblins. Monsters in general are physically weaker than beasts, but unlike magic beasts, monsters are more cunning when fighting, in addition, they can use special skills.

"By the way in this world the classification of beasts and monsters goes from the weakest rank 1 to the strongest rank 9. Of course there could be exceptions, but generally it is like that." Luna said wisely.

"What do you mean by exceptions?" Nick asked the doubt that was on his mind.

"What I mean with exceptions is that there could be monsters or beasts much more powerful than rank 9 hidden somewhere, who for some reason have not decided to leave this world to grow even stronger." Luna answered carefully to make sure Nick understood what she was saying.

"But if there are much more powerful monsters hidden somewhere on the planet, what would happen if a herd of these monsters or beasts come together and decide to eradicate all living things on the planet?" Nick asked curiously.

"Nothing would happen, because the cities are protected with old barriers that protect them from any danger." Luna assured Nick.

"Well, if that is the case, I will mentally prepare myself for the next training and I hope I don't fail miserably again." Nick commented determinedly.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you will win this time, but first you need to fully recover." Luna said.

*******

That way another 3 days passed, on the seventh day since he first came to the woods, Nick recovered from all his internal and external injuries, and prepared to start his training again.

"Nick the moment of truth has come, get ready." Luna calmly commented because she was sure that Nick had changed his way of seeing the world radically, and this time he would act with caution and wisdom.

"All right." Nick answered seriously.

"Ah! Now that I remember, I don't have a sword, the previous one was lost when the crocodile sent me flying. " Nick said

"Don't worry, since you have just started your training, I can provide you with the swords you need, logically, there is a restriction on the number of swords that I can provide you." Luna commented.

"It's okay." Nick nodded as he understood Luna's words.

"Nick get ready, I'll start looking for rank 1 monsters near our location." Luna said.

"Okay" Nick replied.

*******

"Nick I found an ogre nest nearby, about 1.5 km south-west from our current location." Luna stated her findings.

"Okay, let's fight." Nick commented with determination and seriousness.

Luna observing Nick's much more mature attitude, marveled at his charm, which combined very well with his divine appearance.

"What's up Luna? Why are you keeping quiet? Nick asked.

After hearing Nick's voice, Luna woke up from her stupor.

"Nothing happens." Luna replied as she began to instruct Nick.
