"So far I've killed a Frost Wolf, Arbirian Tiger, Stinger and Tree Sprawler. I mean, I've only encounter 2 of these monsters but whatever. The abundance of these wolf wolves feels like it's a bit high. Now that I think about, why was a tiger here in the first place."
Klyde wasn't sure where to go to find more monsters. And leaping in the air felt a bit ineffective because most monsters would be covered by the trees. He then realized that there was a glade with 2 or 3 adventures relaxing in it.
"I really haven't socialized with others, haven't I? It's not that far so I guess I should go there. I may encounter a few monsters on the way. Now which way was it again…?"
After trying to remember the directions for a while, he headed sunrise and after 20 minutes of walking, Klyde reached the glade. He didn't find anything to kill on the way though and had wasted his armours power. Though he had deactivated it 10 minutes in, leaving him with 73.9%.
As he entered the glade an adventure were relaxing under the tree at the center. As for the other adventures, he was not sure what they were doing but there were 2 of them doing water magic.
As the adventurer under the tree saw him he imme drew his sword.
"State your business, Skypirian." The adventurer said.
He was an elf with blonde and blue eyes. He held a sword a bluish tint on the metal blade. It's hilt was a bland dark grey.
'So far I've seen around 15 blonde people since coming here, hehe…'
"Relax, relax. I'm not even Skypirian." Klyde said to the adventures.
The other two adventures noticed the commotion and stopped what the were doing and came to the elf. Both were female humans with blue hair. Their facial features were very familiar as well as their frame, though one was a bit shorter. Perhaps they were twins, Klyde though.
"Now what's the meaning of thi…" The taller paused as they both looked at Klyde. A blush crept up their faces as they avoided Klyde's gaze.

"Are you two just going to stand there?!" Zorian groaned and started charging at Klyde, his sword now had a slight blue glow.
Klyde parried elf attacks and ice started to form were he was hit.

Klyde threw a punch at elf but he easily blocked it with his forehead and struck Klyde's waist. Though it didn't penetrate his armour, it still did damage.

'Bastard! I only lost a bit of health yet it feels like he did a lot of damage!'
Klyde put some distance between the two and he enabled his enhancement, setting it to 20%

He dashed at elf and punched him in the stomach. Zorian could react in time as Klyde's speed far surpaced his own. The elf was thrown away and he ended up hitting the tree at the glade's center.

"You two! Stop acting like idiots and do something!" Zorian said as he groaned in pain and clenched his stomach.
"I'm not here to fight for hell's sake and I'm not Skypirian!"
"Then why are you here?" Zorian said.
"I just saw you guys at this glade and though I should meet the adventurers here."
"Should we believe him guys?" Zorian asked the two girls
"I… wouldn't… mind…" Violet said. "Me too…" Scarlet said. Both sounded a bit too shy to Zorian as the two always acted like brats all the time.
'Women…' Zorian said internally.
"Fine, you can stay. But listen here, hotshot. If you even think about raising your blade to us, I won't hesitate to kill you."
'Won't you now.' Klyde though. "Got it."
————
"Oh, so you're that guy everyone's been talking about. You're around level 40, right?" Zorian said
"Yes, actually. 45. Same as you." Klyde responded
"How'd you know my level?"
"I…uh…I guessed."
"Yeah, that's an obvious lie. Your suit?"
"You got me, hehe." Klyde chuckled. 'Phew. That may be one of the dumbest things I've done. At least he guessed wrong.'
"For a 45, you sure are lacking in strength."
"Yeah, you're clearly surpass me in terms of physical strength."
"It's probably because you also focus on mana." Violet barged into their conversation.
"Huh? My mana?" Klyde turned to violet who quickly looked away after noticing his gaze.
"You've rendered my party useless." Zorian said.
"Y-yeah. Your mana. I can feel some leaking out of you. Levels combine all out attributes so you having high mana can increase your level. Zorian here has a low amount of mana and is mainly focused on strength." Violet said.
"Oh. Now that I think about it, I do have a decent about of mana. I should learn magic soon."
"W-we could teach you if you like." Scarlet suggested.
"No thanks."
'Regected!' The two said internally as they clenched their chest.
"We're about to leave soon. Want to join us?" Zorian said as he stood up and offered his hand.
"Sure." Klyde held Zaron's hand as he was lifted up.
"Useless 1 and useless 2. Let's go."
"Hey! Don't call us useless." The two girls said as the followed them.
