"Hiyaaaa!" Henri screamed, swinging his sword without any technique at the rat monster in front of him.
Instead of hitting it with the bladed side, he ended up hitting the rat with the flat side of his sword instead, smacking it away like he was using a baseball bat instead of a sword.
We managed to fight our way to the second floor after a long trek through the first floor.
Surprisingly, we did not encounter any other groups while we were there so either we were moving faster than everyone or, more likely, slower than everyone else.
I believe we should be slower since we did not see anymore monsters after that so I assume the people who came before us had already cleared out the monsters around this floor.
Since there weren't any monsters here, there wasn't much we could do which also meant we could not accomplish our initial goal of getting used to each other within the same party.
