Cap 15: Magic training
After resting and relaxing until nightfall I decide to get up to start my training.
I realized that my subordinate must be very tired as she is sleeping heavily, but that doesn't matter, I'll let her rest until tomorrow, I'll start my training by meditating for a few hours to level up the skill [Weak mana sense: 4 ].
---------
Ding! Ding!
<[Her skill leveled up [Meditation: 3> 4]]>
.
<[ Your skill leveled up [ Weak mana sense: 4 > 5 ] ]>
After hours of fussing and concentrating I realized that I'm not as tired as I used to be, it must be because of the increase in skills and statistics.
With that ready I will start trying to use the skill I acquired today from the Kobolds, I will try to train the skill [ Mana Control: 1 ].
This time I tried to use [Weak Mana Sense: 5] not to feel the Mana around me but to feel the Mana inside me. After finding Mana running through my body I decided to try to direct it to my head and then to various places in my body, I do this training for a few minutes.
Ding!
<[ Your skill leveled up [ Mana Control: 1 > 2 ] ]>
It looks like this training is correct, but it's very difficult, the amount of concentration and focus I need to maintain this "Mana Control" training is very large, I'm already exhausted, I'm going to sleep and the next day I'm going to resume training.
zz...
zzzz...
Zzzzzzzzz...

"Wake up master gii" (Subordinate Goblin)
"Hmm...hmmmmm" (me)
"Good morning" (me)
After stretching myself at being woken up by my subordinate I see that it's already halfway through the day, I got up and went to rinse my mouth and eat something, after that I'll hunt in the same place as yesterday and make another ambush today and then come back early, to continue my training from yesterday.
"Let's go hunting... a same.... place of...yesterday" (me)
"Yes master gii gi I'll get gii sword" (Subordinate Goblin)

Compared to how I was born a few days ago, my growth is remarkable, I can see that my highest stat is intelligence, if my gaming knowledge of my world is right then intelligence is the stat that is used to know how strong someone's magic. is, while the MP is the energy to use magic.
I need to learn how to use magic spells soon. Now let me see the status of my subordinate.

Both my subordinate and I aren't far from going up one more level, maybe depending on how many we manage to kill by mid-afternoon, we might even be able to go up two levels.
I can't keep wasting my time thinking, I call my subordinate and we go to the same Goblin trail we were on yesterday, but this time we go to a different spot for the ambush.
On the way there I decided to talk to my subordinate and started asking her some questions.
"How many Goblins....have in.....your...old family" (me)
"Old family many giigi gig " (Subordinate Goblin)
"How many?" (me)
"Giig many" (Subordinate Goblin)
"..." (me)
"(Maybe she doesn't know how to count, so how do I know how many Goblins there will be in her old house)" (me)
"Hmmm...(I know!)" (me)
"Catch ... small stone for each Goblin who remember" (me)
"Yes master" (Goblin subordinate)
I tried to figure out the number of goblins I had to prepare for an attack on her old house after I've narrowed her numbers down enough, but she doesn't seem to know how to count, so I made her take a stone for every Goblin she remembers, it will make me have a rough idea of how many there are.
After a few minutes of thinking and picking up stones, she brings me the small stones and drops them in front of me, after a quick count I see that there must be forty small stones so it must be the same number of Goblins, I must consider these the minimum numbers for not me surprise later.
We continued on our way to the Goblins Trail as we talked about these numbers and in a little over forty minutes we got there.
Seeing the trail I start looking for a good ambush spot, as soon as I choose to stay behind a set of trees I wait in silence until it's time to attack.
The first Goblin group arrived thirty minutes later and had seven Goblins and one of them looked bigger and wore leather armor that was in poor condition and a sword, this must be an evolved Goblin.
I decide not to attack and speak in whispers to my subordinate to be silent, after they pass I ask how many Goblins as strong as that one has in her old family, just as I told her before to take a small stone for everyone she remembers and in in a short time she brings only three small stones.
Knowing that this must be the minimum number, I decide to think about it another time, keep waiting until another group shows up an hour later.
This group had five Goblins, they all looked normal, so I decide to finish them off.
Once they got close enough I used six times in succession [ Sticky Line Production: 5 ] and [ Line Control: 5 ] to tie three Goblins and then used [ Jump: 3 ] to jump into a fourth Goblin.
Wasting no time, as soon as I landed on his shoulder I use [Leech Bite: 5] to bite and tear off a large chunk of his neck and before the fifth Goblin hits me, my subordinate pierces his back with her sword she was holding. my poison and he falls screaming to the ground.
Ding!
<[ You gained 7 EXP from killing Goblin ]>
"Punch...with the sword...their barrel" (me)
"Yes master" (Goblin subordinate)
After she pierced the barrel of the three Goblins that were trapped I used [ Poison spit: 2 ] three times each and waited for them to die of poison.
Ding!
<[ You gained 7 EXP from killing Goblin ]>
.
<[ Party member gains 3 EXP for killing Goblin ]>
Looks like the Goblin that was attacked first by my subordinate died from the poison, after a few more minutes.
Ding!
<[ You gained 21 EXP from killing Goblin ]>
.
<[ Party member gains 10 EXP per Goblin kill ]>
After that, I went to drink all his blood while my subordinate kept an eye on the surrounding area.
Glub! Glub! Glub!
Ding!
<[ Your skill leveled up [ Leech Belly: 6 > 7 ] ]>
After that, I sinned and dragged a body and my subordinate took another one and we took it back to base.
On the way back we talked about the location of her old house, when we arrived at our temporary base we dumped the bodies in a corner and I told my subordinate to practice her sword skills a little, tried to teach her the basics, instruct her to keep your back straight and raise and lower the sword as if she were cutting something, I told her to repeat this movement until she couldn't raise her arms
With her training her sword the way I taught her I go back to my practice from the night before.
I started to meditate and feel the Mana inside me, then I tried to move this Mana to various parts of my body, this training requires a lot of concentration and focus and any mistakes I leave meditation and have to start from scratch which is even more difficult.
After thirty minutes of doing this I passed out from mental exhaustion and my subordinate ran to me worriedly and woke me up.
I was surprised that this training made me pass out, but the results are obvious.
Ding!
<[ Your skill leveled up [ Mana Control: 2 > 3 ] ]>
I'm tired of training so much and I think I'm going to relax for a while in my bed as I look up at this sunset sky, and after almost an hour of relaxing, I'm going to meditate to integrate my new level.
After all, this is done I see that my subordinate ended up sleeping on the floor from exhaustion from the training I gave her, I go to her and drag her to the bed to sleep more comfortably and then I go to my bed to sleep, I have to rest well to hunt more tomorrow.
