Sky World Vol 1 Chapter 2.05

VOLUME 1

Chapter 2: The Quest
Part 5

The items Kasumi was collecting could all be used for repeatable quests. By completing quests in town, one’s reputation with the residents will gradually increase. Higher reputation could result in being able to take on new quests, lower prices in shops, and some special privileges with residents.

Until now, Kasumi had not completed many quests. She said she always gave up her drops to her guild. She never really thought much of the concept of completing quests.

In Sky World, there were six cla.s.ses with healing abilities. Among them was the white magician, which specialized in recovery magic. Although they were indispensable to raid groups, such powerful healing was unnecessary for casual monster farming groups. Those casual groups preferred other healing type cla.s.ses, as while they had lower healing power, they possessed higher damage output and support abilities.

However, white magicians did not have problem finding groups. They were still very useful in groups wanting to fight elite monsters or area bosses.

Normally, white magicians were very in-demand.

“Well, Kasumi-san, Eri’s been accompanying you all this time, right?”

“Yeah, except for during that raid though. Whenever we were in town, she was always with me.”

“If that’s the case, then you should be pretty familiar with her healing magic. Kasumi-san, take her to kill those weak monsters some more.”

There were still two hours until noon. In that time, Jun could complete two quests using information he had received from Eri.

“Use this weapon.”

Jun handed Kasumi a short-sword.

Kasumi stared at it.

“I’ve never used a short-sword before.”

“Then this is a great opportunity for you to increase your secondary weapon skill. This short-sword is rarity 6. Put more simply, its attack power is stronger than that of your current red-sword.”

Generally speaking, in MMORPGs like Sky World, secondary weapons were very important. In the midst of battle, it was not very difficult to make a mistake and drop a primary weapon. It was also not very efficient to swing around enormous swords or axes when fighting against weak little monsters. For these reasons, most adventurers found it very useful to have a short-sword or a small hatchet on hand when traveling.

However, those were not the only reasons Jun decided to give Kasumi the sword-sword.

“One more thing. Turn off automatic attacking. Alright?”

“Understood! &h.e.l.lip; uh, I just have to kill that monster , right?”

“Yeah, that’s all. Eri, if it gets too dangerous, help out. With you here, she shouldn’t be in any danger of dying.”

“Of course. I won’t screw up. I won’t, under any condition, let Kasumi die.”

Over the course of one day, tablets gained approximately 1% battery. It would take a whole month in order to offset a single death.

Kasumi and Eri had already died once the day before. Three deaths was seen as synonymous with real death. After one more death, the two of them would be in a very dangerous situation. They would have to stay in a safe area until their battery lives returned to a safe level.

“You two better be careful. Eri, make sure you take care of Kasumi.”

“I will. I will.”

Jun bid farewell to the two of them and began to leave the hill with a smile on his face.

Kasumi engaged a human-sized Slug Beetle in battle. It would be a very close fight.

Once she turned off automatic attack mode, just as she had expected, her attacks became completely inaccurate. In real life, Kasumi had never learned anything about fighting. She was just an ordinary high school girl. Without the system’s a.s.sistance, she found even swinging her weapon to be difficult.

Kasumi was taking a lot of damage, and Eri franticly cast healing spell upon healing spell to try and keep her alive. The Slug Beetle was still been mostly unhurt. Eri, continuing to cast healing spells on Kasumi, understood the severity of the situation at hand and began attacking it herself.

“Come here! Oof! Uh, Jun? &h.e.l.lip;”

“Hey! Eri, stop attacking. Only intervene if you have no other choice.”

“Argh! Meanie!”

A short while later, after having seen the two of them struggle, Jun headed back towards the town.

Then, he worked on finishing quests until coming back around noon.
