『 You have leveled up! 』

“This is nowhere enough. I need to increase the difficulty of grinding for a bit to gain more experience in combat. Only by doing that would I have the confident of beating the Earth Dragon. As to whether I have the chance or not, I wouldn’t know without fighting, or so I wanted to say but, the current me would definitely get thrashed if I pick a fight with it.”

Once she had slain the last Fierce Wolf of its packs, Sheila finally breathe a relieved sigh as she muttered. Though it is a bit difficult when she decided to pick a fight with a pack of Fierce Wolf, it isn’t unwinnable fight. Since the Fierce Wolf pose no threat to her by now, she thought it’s finally time to look for the real boss, the Alpha of the pack.

Actually, she already knows the location of the said boss. She accidentally came across it while searching for the nest of the Giant Ants. However, because she was still weak and didn’t have that much experience fighting the Fierce Wolf, she didn’t have the courage to take the risk back then.

Alpha Fierce Wolf, one of the most obvious characteristics that tells it is different than any ordinary Fierce Wolf is the silver-white furs, and its beautiful light-blue pupils. Though it is indeed beautiful, one shouldn’t put their guard down as, that very beautiful pupils would also make any average human became weak the moment it stares at them. Even from afar, Sheila was intimidated by its presence alone.

Most importantly, the two huge fangs that evidently couldn’t stay hidden is the most fearsome things of its characteristics. Thanks to Photographic Memory, she has no chance of forgetting it even if she only caught a glimpse of it.

Currently, she’s level 40 and the feeling of her body getting stronger is even more evident than before. Honestly, it’s the most satisfying feelings she ever had.

Level and combat experience isn’t the only things that had increased, most of the skills that she finds important also leveled up quite a bit. With all of that in mind, it couldn’t be helped that she got a bit confident in herself.

But of course she won’t launch an attack right away, she need to get a bit of rest after having an exhausting fight just a moment ago. Though she could easily replenish her energy via potion, she decided against it unless the situation called for it. Otherwise, would just be a waste.

While she were resting her back on Raksha’s fluffy furs, her mind couldn’t help but wandered back to a few hours ago.

After leaving Luke in the infirmary with a few words of advise, Sheila immediately entered the Trial Tower once she found a good spot, away from the rest of the students and teachers alike. Since the problem with Luke has been taken care of, time for her to face another problem that she had been prolonged up until now. It’s about her junior, Yuna.

The last she checked, Yuna was having a good conversations with both Ria and Mia. When her figure suddenly appeared approximately right behind Ria, Yuna couldn’t help but cried out in astonishment by her sudden appearance. The two were surprised at her outburst and immediately turned their back before heaved a sigh when they realized it’s Sheila instead of monsters.

“You know, you should have alert us ahead of time if you’re going to appear. See, you scared the crap out of her.”

Sheila bows her head in apologetic manner toward Yuna while accepting Ria’s scolding without any objection like it’s an everyday things to her. Yuna accepted her apology since she knew her senior didn’t mean any harm.

“So, did you already take care of the problem there?” Ria asked.

“Perfectly, or so I wish to say, but it works out fine in the end, so it doesn’t really matter.” Sheila said, Ria nodded her head in an understanding manner. Knowing her, it’s given for things to go awry, it’s almost fortunate that it didn’t get worse instead since that does happens a few times in the past.

“So, what sort of discussions you three were having while I was outside? You all seems close to each other now.”

“Well, I was pretty much nervous and worried at first upon arriving on this unknown place. I know immediately that my arrival here is the work of yours, senior, but I couldn’t help and get worries that you might done something reckless.” Yuna said.

“Afterward, she came across me when she wanders around. I did my best to tell her everything that I know of the Trial Tower while I’m at it.” Mia nonchalantly replied in response to Yuna.

Usually, when one were sent inside by her, they would appear on the same spot no matter where they are outside. But because of Sheila quirkiness of always appearing right next to her whenever she visited, Mia didn’t bother staying on the same place and decided to stay near the boundaries for unknown reasons.

“As expected of you, senior! Magical girl is indeed as amazing as it was shown on TV! To be able to owned a small world like this, you have to be magical girl!” Yuna passively said.

‘I do have magic skills, so getting called as magical girl is not really wrong in that case, however, this and that are two different things! Why would you think having an entire dimension different than a reality itself is actually normal for a magical girl? What kind of anime did you watched? I’ll make sure she tell me about it later.’ Sheila secretly thought before shaking her head helplessly at Yuna’s logic.

“While they were talking about themselves, that’s when I came in. Since there doesn’t seem to be that many topics for us to discuss, I decided to tell them some funny moments of you.” Ria said with an obvious teasing tone in her voice.

“What? What did you tell them? Come on, tell me, Ria. No, I’m not angry, just curious, yes, curiosity.” Sheila immediately asked her back while trying to make herself sounds normal. But it was obvious to the three that she was pretty agitated by Ria’s remark.

“Not telling~”

“Fufufu, fine then. Since you’re going to be like that, don’t blame me for this.” Once she finished speaking, her figure suddenly disappeared before reappearing right behind Ria in a single instant, and before the latter could dodge it, Sheila immediately launch the most powerful attacks in her arsenals, that is tickling attack!

“HAHAHA! S-Stop it!”

“Nope, you asked for it. Now feels my wrath! Muahahaha!”

The two that were left at the side could do nothing but looks at the scene with a wry smiles on their faces while thinking, ‘both of them were pretty close, huh’.
