Chapter 45: Venturing Out Alone Part One
A week has passed and today I am saying goodbye to Alissa. Her parents have finally called her back after not going home for the past week. "Rei, I will come and visit you as often as I can! Don't let that pervert do anything to you!"
Hearing Alissa's words made me roll my eyes. She talks about Able being a pervert when she herself was a full fledged, one hundred percent, pervert! But I still nod my head with a smile as I said: "Don't worry, Able is not like that at all and you know it."
"There you go again! Defending him as if you are already his wife." Alissa said with a pout. But it was true. Anytime someone spoke bad about Able, I found myself defending him without even realizing it. Was this normal when a couple was together? At any rate, I was also taking this day off from training.
After a week of nothing but training my stats looked as so…
Character Name: Rei Lancaster
Intellect: 1
Charisma: 3
Fitness: 4
Arts: 0
Martial Arts: 3
Magic Power: 8
Business: 0
Internal Energy Rank: 3
Love Points: 8
Love Interest:
Able Ronstine: 9
Alissa Coborne: 4
Sadly my intellect has not gone up at all but the 1 in intellect was an average number among the children of this world around my age. An intellect of 6 would mean I was a one of a kind genius. Anything beyond that was starting to catch up to the other races out there. With the fact that these stats can go up to one hundred, it was truly amazing. But my goal now was to get my intellect to 4. If I did so, I would gain photographic memory. Which will then allow me to really push my intellect up quickly.
My magic power also rose greatly over the week and was now on par with some of the more magically inclined races. I'm not too sure what races we are talking about since the other races never came up in the game, but Able did mention something about them which piqued my interest so it was one of the things I planned to look into today after I ventured out into town.
In my previous life, I spent more time at home than anything, so me going out to see the town on my own was something I wanted to do today. Well not completely on my own since I will have Emily and two guards with me. Cedric and Ruth said that: "A young girl should not be out and about by herself. You are basically a Ronstine now so you will need to be protected at all times!"
So now I have two guards, one female, and one male. They are both really nice, they were both disciples of Cedric's. Claire Forlen a young woman around eighteen years of age, stood tall with long black hair. She was the silent type and did not speak much but she was very pretty and attracted quite a bit of attention as she walked by. Supermodel qualities I could say. She seemed to be one of those people who could walk down a runway wearing some top brand clothing. Whereas Sid Grayson was a tall burly young man in his late twenties. He was, well, how do I say it, very, very well built. People call him Mountain because he was built like one. But contrary to his looks he was as friendly as a teddy bear and was very talkative.
"Now Rei, if anyone tries to give you candy do not accept it." Cedric suddenly said after he grabbed my shoulders and looked me dead square in the eye with a serious expression. Seriously though, I did not know whether I should laugh or cry. But I figured it would be best to hold both in. So I obediently nodded which seemed to appease him.
"Yes, Rei, don't follow any strangers and do not let any guys try to pick you up. You have to remember that you are stunningly beautiful. If someone more handsome than my son tries to propose to you..." Ruth suddenly started waving a sword around before she even finished her sentence. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Mom, relax. One thing you would never have to worry about is me being stolen by someone else. I do not know if I am in love but I do know I care a lot about Able and want to be with him. If anyone were to break off this relationship it would be him..." I said my voice trailing off at the end.
"He dares!? My only son or not, if he hurts you, you tell me, Mother will beat him until he comes crawling to your feet kissing your shoes, begging for you to take him back!" Ruth suddenly shouted smacking Able who was standing next to her in the back of the head. I had my assumptions but today really put two and two together and made me realize that, although Ruth was warm and caring towards me she was actually a very violent person.
"Mom! Do you have to hit me when I have yet to do anything wrong? Plus, Rei is my future wife no one can take her place no matter what!" Able suddenly boldly announced.
I could feel my cheeks growing hot, but I can say one thing is for sure, Able and I were growing closer and closer together. I really did like him. I couldn't go as far as saying love just yet but I think it was bordering that possibility. Such a thought made my heart flutter which felt kind of nice. But, now that I thought about it, tonight would be our first time alone without Alissa around, so if we spent time alone in my room… I suddenly felt something warm leaking from my nose...
