"man, instructur ergi when really hard on me," said stella who at that time cover in bandage, after her first win, the instructur decide to give stella a harder exercise since her skill was growing, not that she mind because with that her stat with rose even higher.
but the most painful part of the exercise is that she has to fight the instructur almost every single time, not only that, the blow she received was much faster, stronger and harder than their last fight, it really was a torture for her.
but her effort really not go to waste, since her stat was rapidly increase even more than when she try to level up.

'level 4 is already give me such information, but when i used it on living thing it only giving me the name and level, maybe if i try to level up more, i might be able to see the power of instructur ergi,' though stella who after dinner decide to go to her room to sleep.
in the morning, when stella decide to go to the field to continue her training, the head maid suddenly came and inform stella to go the office, where the duke is located.
'do i have to knock,' though stella who knock at the door.
"enter," say the duke was in the office and writing a few document.
"do you call me sir, ?" ask stella who at that time the duke as stella to sit, that make stella a little tense, is she doing something wrong.
"there no need to be tense, the reason why i call you, is to give your first mission," say the duke to stella.
"my first mission," say stella
"yes," say the duke, "here read this," say the duke who hand over a letter who the stella read.
"a help request, !" say stella.
"yes, one of the unit of the arbento knight that was send a few month ago to protect the village in the outside of kingdom was suddenly attack by a large group of monster, now i know this is urgent but i want you to go and give them some support," say the duke who shock stella.
"do i have any companion, ?" ask stella.
"yes, you will be accompany by try 3 people, oscar, emile and head knight ergi, prepare everything that you need and quickly go, the faster the better," say stella who at that time quickly went to her room and grab a few thing and put it on her bag, use her transformation to hide her ear and tail.
'alright, everything ready,' though who later quickly went to the field where there was a carriage that was prepared for her and the other.
"listen stella this mission will be a little hard for your first mission, but right now, not only arbento household but the whole kingdom was low of manpower, so i must say i apologize that we have to make you to come for this kind of mission," say ergi to stella who only nod, she doesn't know what to say, actually she doesn't really mind about doing this kind of mission since she want to test her new skill against an actual enemy.
"don't worry, i know that everyone is busy with their own work, you guys already nice enough to spend your precious time to help me improve myself while you guys can just ignore me, so this kind of mission is something that i was looking forward actually, i want you guys to see what kind of improvement that i manage to get while in the duke household," say stella who at that time she got a headpet from emile.
"you don't have to feel indebt to us, and you don't have to work to repay those debt, be yourself is more than enough," say emile who at that time got a nod from stella.
"by the way, why do you use those transformation and hide your ear and tail, ?" ask oscar.
"ah, well i want to try to see how much limit of my transformation, though sometime it feel weird when i dont have my tail," say stella who turn of her transformation off and touch her tail, now she know why sophia really like to hug her tail.
"today we camp here, even though the village was 2 or 3 hour ride, we have to be careful since a lot of monster was invading those village, we take turn shift, stella and me first, and then you guys," say ergi who then they finished their camp and after eating their meal, emile and oscar went to bed earlier while stella and ergi on the guard duty.
'so tomorrow huh,' though stella who at that time was sitting on the bon fire while chewing a fish that she catch not to long ago.
'i need to be more prepare, so i have to level up my skill first,' though stella who try to bending the space using her space magic, and in a matter of second the branch that was on her bending area was destroy.
but the problem of using this skill is that, the time for the skill to work was really slow, if the object stella want bend was out the area, then the bending won't work.
'i need to level up this skill 1 more level, so i can use the next set of this skill,' though stella, who try really hard to level up the space magic.
4 hour later stella already exhausted from using her skill so many time, but still there is no sign of her skill leveling up, 'alright let't do it gain, for the last time,' though stella who try to bend a tree, it took longer but at that time the tree was destroy and stella was completely exhausted.
[ proficiency has reached the required level. skill ( space magic lvl1 ) has become ( space magic lvl2 ). ]
"alright i did it," say stella who at that time shoot in the middle of a forest, it was really tired
"hey what are you doing, time is up, is our turn to rest, come," say ergi to stella who only nod, she was really tired right now, a good night sleep should do the trick.
