- 2 Days Until the Barrier Drops –

For the first time since coming to Genovia, Aoni spent nearly the entire day training with his weapons.

The sole purpose behind this was not only to acclimate to the changes in his body brought about by the rapid increase of stats but also to temper his mind and combat style.

Although he had obtained a wealth of knowledge from his two Swordsmanship passives, they were, in a sense, only a foundation with which the structure of combat experience was missing.

Sure, he could swing Vestr and Austr expertly, attack with multiple strikes, and come in from odd angles, but what good would all that do if he had never been in a fight with a wild monster before?

At present, he was nothing more than a paper tiger, someone who had spent his whole life training for combat but had never actually seen it in person.

Sure, he’d sparred an ungodly number of times back at the academies, but never had his life been threatened, nor had he had a purpose behind his battles.

It was all petty schoolhouse squabbles, beating up bullies, and whatnot, yet as Aoni stood atop the rampart, gliding around in a dance of swords, he believed that if push came to shove, he’d be able to stand up and fight to the bitter end.

He wasn’t a sheltered person who’d never seen gore or blood, and there were times when Glacia had neglected to kill her hunt properly, leaving it to him to break a neck or two, so it wasn’t as if he were squeamish about the subject.

With sore muscles and covered in sweat, Aoni waved his hand and deposited both of his blades into his inventory, then smirked.

After training daily with his Energia Manipulation and getting a feel for using his Ice Elementalized Energia, of course, the next thing he turned to was figuring out his newly added Pocket Dimension (Inventory).

Funny enough, the principle behind it wasn’t that different from making attacks or spells, and after a metric fuck ton of testing, he’d finally had a breakthrough when he formulated the mental image of a fairly large-sized suitcase.

But that was only the first step; once he was able to will that into existence, the problem then became how to open and close said suitcase, and after a bit more trial and error, the result was a thin black line appearing and opening like a mouth.

Once open, he could withdraw or add items to the static-sized dimensional space, as well as see the contents in his mind. Then, after finishing whatever needed to be done with his inventory, the last step was imagining a mouth closing and done.

Unfortunately, due to either a lack of knowledge about his passive or the fact that it was stuck at G-, the space of his inventory was extremely limited, and apart from his swords, which ate up almost all the available space, Aoni could only toss a few odds and ends into the pocket dimension.

’Still, it saves me from having to lug them around everywhere; however, I know inventory management will become a problem at some point. If I ever learn how to expand the space there, that is.’ Rolling out his shoulders and shrugging off his coat, Aoni walked to the edge of the rampart and plopped down before dangling his legs off the edge of the wall and gazing out into the horizon.

"Cheeeee,"

Just as the Lad was about to drift off into some unknown mental tangent, a high-pitched chee came from overhead, and Aoni had just about enough time to scoot over a little bit before Nyria gracefully landed beside him and snuggled up for some cuddles.

"Welcome back. Did you find anything?" he asked, bringing up his right arm to scratch his birb’s head, with a hint of nervousness hidden in his tone.

’I saw what you talked about; there are lots of bad guys walking around the edge of the barrier…’ A faint tremor ran through Nyria’s body as she began explaining how she was scanning the perimeter for any signs of movement when she located several distinct clusters of monsters, all of which consisted of different species meandering around the fringes of the barrier.

Wolves, bears, some type of weird reptile, ducks there were simply too many for Nyria to count, and due to her limited knowledge of other species, she could only give vague descriptions, leaving the rest to her Lord to figure out.

As for their strength, well, that was another unknown. Because of her natural fear of leaving the barrier or even getting too close to it, Nyria was unable to get a read on the monsters and could only go off their physical size and the "vibe" she got from looking at them.

"You did good. Don’t worry about not being able to figure everything out; all I wanted to know was their numbers," giving his birb a gentle hug and a bacon strip from his inventory as a snack, Aoni stared back out toward the barrier again, falling into a state of silence.

"Oh, for fuck sake, HOLD YOUR HORSES, GLACIA!" heaving an annoyed sigh, Aoni did a backward somersault off the rampart and landed inside the confines of the wall, wherein he heard a certain floof banging on the gate.

Since he had been on the northern side of the wall training, he hadn’t caught sight of his summon as she approached, and because of his habit of keeping the gate closed, of course, Glacia got locked out…again.

And just like a dog who scratches at the sliding glass door when wanting to come in or go out of the house, Glacia had developed an annoying habit of smacking the gate with enough force to rattle Aoni’s brain.

Reaching the gate and lifting the three large stone braces used to keep it shut off the hooks, Aoni suddenly jumped back as the gate swung open, revealing his floof covered from head to toe in gore and dragging along several corpses four times her size.
