The Preparation Part 2

*Currently, Madison is following someone towards the northmost wall to help fight against the incoming monsters*

I didn't want to fight, I didn't, but I didn't have much of a choice. If the city is destroyed, then what happens to my contract? Bonding contracts such as the one I signed are used to prevent people from taking the money and leaving by controlling the person's ability to think and act for oneself after the allotted time is up. The city's destruction won't end my contract; only the person who created it can end it. Magic doesn't care whether a variable comes up or not; it simply does what it is told to do. Even if the contractor dies, the contract still won't end. The best way to ensure my safety is to fight for the sake of the city.

Adventurer: "We're here."

After they had arrived on top of the northmost wall, the adventurer put the bows he was carrying on a rack that contained other ranged weapons that people had brought up there.

A few moments later, the adventurer began to head back to the guildhall, and someone else began approaching Madison.

Man - "Are you here to fight?"

Madison - "Yeah. I can use magic and stuff."

Man - "Umm... are you sure? You don't look like someone who can handle themself?"

Madison had forgotten that her appearance was that of someone covered in dirt wearing only an old sack and a torn jacket due to people not bringing it up. She wasn't a big fan of people looking down on her but decided to ignore it for now and acknowledge the man's question with a simple nod.

Madison - *nods*

Man - "Alright then. You will join the third group of archers and mages over there."

The man then proceeded to point further down the wall at a group of people sitting and preparing for the battle. After seeing where the man was indicating to, Madison began walking over there to prepare just like them.

Upon arriving at the group, Madison spoke to the group.

Madison - "Hey. I'm in your group. It's uh... a pleasure to meet you."

Everyone in Group Three - *Ignores*

Madison - "Wow, tough crowd. That barrel over there is full of food for us, right?"

Everyone in Group Three - *Ignores*

Madison - "Say nothing if you don't mind me taking your share."

Everyone in Group Three - *Ignores*

Madison - "nice"

Upon hearing the acknowledgment that she could eat all of the food, Madison went over to the barrel and began eating the food. The only food in the barrel was bread, which was of poor quality, but that didn't stop Madison from eating it like an animal. The taste didn't matter; she only cared about having something to eat after all this time.

After finishing about two loaves of the bread, Madison was finally done eating and decided to recheck her stats to see if anything had changed since the last time she had checked.

The current strength is 12 due to the Quadrupled Attributes skill, but strength can also come from things like equipment or weapons; the quadrupled attributes skill does not increase the strength provided from weapons and equipment)

Ok, so everything went up by a decent amount, but how do I use the skill and attribute points? Maybe I can drag it? Nope. How about I just think about using it.

[+1 INT]

Alright, so that's how I use it. Right now, my Endurance seems a bit lower than the rest.

[+1 END]

[+1 END]

And I guess I'll save the rest for a rainy da-

Guy - "HEY!"

Madison - "EEEPP!"

Guy - "???"

EEEPP? What the hell kind of sound did I make? But first, did he see the window? Does he know?

Madison - "Did you see!?"

The man in front of her was a white male with what seemed like a farmers tan on most of his body. He didn't seem all that strong, and his armor isn't that of someone who is really well off; he also seemed to be in his late teens. I wonder why he approached me in the first place.

Guy - *Flustered* "Well, if you don't want me to see, then maybe wear some more clothes, you demi-human bitch!"

Madison - "..."

What the fuck?

The person went over to Madison to complain about her taking extra food, but he could practically see her killing intent ever since he made the rude remark. He ultimately decided to just leave without saying anything more.

To Madison, this man walked over to and surprised her before saying he was looking at her inappropriately and calling her a bitch. What the hell is up with this guy?
