Finding a Village
Theo: "Well... even if you hadn't attacked me, you would still have died! But at least I would give you a less painful death." Theo thought, and then he used <Devour>.
[Obtained 1,104 System Points]
Theo: "Hahaha! He gave me a fair amount of [System Points]" Theo murmured and started laughing loudly happily.
Yuki watched as Theo fought, for Theo looked very cool fighting the (Lord Goblin)... however she wanted somehow to have helped Theo fight, but she knew that with her current power, she would get in the way, so she made a decision to devote more time to cultivate, so she could help Theo in the future.
Theo thought it was a pity that the first one he thought he could speak to was a (Lord Goblin), but it couldn't be helped, so the moment when Yuki could also talk, he can talk to her.
--------------------
After fighting the (Lord Goblin), Theo and Yuki walked back into the forest. This time, no being of the Student Kingdom or above appeared. So they managed to get far into the forest without risk of life.
Theo: "A [Village]? Are there humans living in the forest?" Not far from where they were, Theo and Yuki spotted a (Village).
Theo: "Yuki, let's take a closer look, but be careful... if things get ugly, we'll run away!" Theo said, looking at her seriously.
Seeing Yuki nodding, Theo and Yuki headed toward the [Village].
Both Theo's vision and hearing improved a lot after he advanced to the [Student Kingdom]. So when they got closer to the [Village], Theo was able to see the residents.
Theo: "AH?! An (Animal) [Village]?" At the moment, Theo was able to see the [Village]'s residents. He realized that they were all (Animals), but not all were of the same species. What he saw was more than 900 (Animals) of different species, living together.
"Should I go there? What if they are not friendly? I don't have the confidence to fight so many..." Theo murmured hesitantly.
Theo knew that with his current skills, he had a chance to go there and back, but was worried about Yuki.
Theo turned to Yuki and said, "Yuki, I'm going there, you need to stay here!"
Hearing what Theo said, Yuki's tail dropped, she looked sad, for she knew that if she went along she would only disturb him. Yuki then nodded in response.
"Good girl! Don't worry, if I have to, I'll run away, and you know how fast I am!" Theo comforted her.
Hearing what Theo said, Yuki changed her sad expression and rubbed her face on Theo's chest, before he went.
After saying goodbye to Yuki, Theo started to head towards the [Village].
----------
Getting close to the [Village], Theo saw many buildings made out of wood, only a few were made out of stones, but they were incredibly well built: "How did they manage to make these houses?" Theo wondered.
When Theo got near the [Village], the (Animals) began to look in his direction, trying to identify him, but soon they continued to do what they were doing, not giving much importance to his arrival. Seeing this, Theo was very surprised, as he thought they might have some negative reaction to his arrival since he was not from the [Village].
"Oh, I've never seen you before, is this the first time here in [Ang Village]?" He asked Theo a red (Dog), who was 1.40m in height. Theo then looked at him and saw that he was a (Flaming Dog) in the 2nd Tier of the Student Kingdom.
"And you are?" Theo asked him.
"Auhaha! I am Jka, a native of the [And Village]'s [Dog Clan]." He replied and then asked, "May I know who you are?"
"I am Theo Volts" Theo replied.
Jka: "Oh, you have a very different name! Well, nice to meet you." Theo only nodded in response.
Jka: "Auhaha! Come on in, I know the [Village] well. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
Theo: "So, can you tell me why so many animals live together in this place?"
Jka: "Ah?! How do you not know about it? Didn't you come from another [Village]? "He asked, surprised at Theo's question.
Seeing his great reaction, Theo said "No, it's the first time I see a [Village]" Theo replied.
Jka: "Auhaha! I see... I understand. Since it's the first time you've seen a [Village]. It's normal for you to wonder who so many (Animals) are living together." He replied and continued, "Well, it always happens when many different (Species) clans live next one to another, and it helps prevent others (Animals) or (Monsters) from taking possession of their territories, so they ended up creating an agreement to create a [Village] and lived together to protect themselves. And the strongest [Clan] is in charge of the [Village]. Well, that's kind of the way it happens."
"I see... so that's how it works" Theo replied, hearing what Jka said.
He looked at Theo strangely and said: "Then, where do you live since you've never seen a [Village] before?"
Theo: "I always lived at the beginning of the forest. It's the first time I've been so deep into the forest" he replied.
Jka: "Hm... it's inevitable you don't know. Auhaha! Let's go in, I'll show you the [Village]."
Seeing that the [Village] posed no imminent danger, Theo decided to bring Yuki along to [Ang Village]: "I didn't come alone here. Can I bring someone along?" Theo asked.
Jka: "Oh yes, that's fine!"
Receiving his confirmation, Theo left the entrance of the [Ang Village] and headed to where Yuki was.
--------------
Jka: "Hm, is this your mate?" He asked, seeing Theo bring Yuki.
"Yes, she is!" Theo replied.
Hearing Theo confirm that she was his mate, Yuki was very happy, because for them (Companion Animals) were the same as a couple. Of course, Theo was unique and didn't know this since he is was a (Human) reincarnated as a (Fox).
"Yuki, this is Jka, Jka this is Yuki." Theo introduced them to each other.
Jka: "Auhaha, nice to meet you!" He said, laughing loudly.
Yuki only nodded in response.
Jka: "Well, let's go in the [Village]. I'll show you around!!" He exclaimed as he entered the [Village], leading the way.
On the way, Theo learned of some information about this [Village] talking to Jka. For example, apparently, in [Ang Village] there are 5 [Clans]. The two main [Clans] being the [Monkey Clan] and the [Lion Clan]. He also talked about the other 3 [Clans], they were the [Dog Clan], the [Bear Clan] and [Wolf Clan]. These three [Clans] basically had the same amount of power.
Theo was very impressed when he heard this from Jka. Theo then noticed that there really were a lot (Animals) that, despite being the same (Race), had many different aspects from each other. For example, Theo and Yuki. Although they are both (Foxes), they had different characteristics; Theo was a (Golden Fox) while Yuki is a (Snow Fox).
Theo also admired the (Animals) who lived in this [Village] because they were not controlled by their instincts, just like the average (Animal) that he hunted all whole time. Maybe because they were raised that way, they could live together without much conflict. That's what Theo thought.
And what made Theo more surprised and happy was that Jka told him that the [Monkey Clan] and the [Lion Clan] were strong because their leaders managed to get in the [Superior Student Kingdom] and gaining their (Human) form. Being that thanks to gaining their (Human) form, their strength increased greatly, and so did their intelligence. Because of that, they were the strongest [Clans] in the [Village].
Theo felt very happy at that moment. Knowing that arriving in the [Superior Student Kingdom] would earn him a (Human) form. His heart was racing fast over this mountain, with many expectations and the ambition to reach this cultivation kingdom.
Breathing deeply and calming his heart, Theo continued to follow Jka in [Ang Village]. Not long afterwards, they arrived at a large building with a big sign saying [Dog Clan].
The [Dog Clan] building was surrounded by high walls made of stones and a large gate made of wood.
Jka: "This is the [Dog Clan]" he said.
(Dog): "Young Master, you're back!" There was a gray (Dog) in front of the gate.
When he heard someone talk, Theo looked in the direction of the (Dog) and he realized that he was in the 1st Tier of the Student Kingdom.
"I was going to train outside of the [Village], but I met two interesting friends and decided to come back!" Jka said, then he looked in the direction of Theo and Yuki.
Hearing what Jka said, the gray (Dog) began to analyze Theo and Yuki from top to bottom and then said "So that's what happened. Soon will have the dispute to decide the next [Clan Leader]. You need to strengthen yourself until then since the young master has great chances! I'm rooting for you!"
Jka: "Yes, thank you! Don't worry, I'll do my best when the time comes!" Jka looked at the (Dog) seriously.
"It seems that this dispute is very important for you! You can let me return now, thanks for everything!" Theo said.
Jka: "Auhaha, do not worry about it, come on let's go to the [Clan]." He said laughing and started to enter the [Clan]. Seeing this, Theo and Yuki, ended up following Jka.
