On his twenty-first day in Phi, Ryo went on his now daily hunt. His prey? The lesser rabbit. It jumped erratically around the forest, drawing closer to its target before sinking its fangs into its quarry’s throat.

Ryo waited for it to jump. When it did, he blasted its hindlegs with simultaneous bursts of Water Jet. The spell still wasn’t powerful enough to penetrate the monster’s flesh, but it was strong enough to throw it off-balance and force it to fall to the ground. Then, Ryo emerged to blast his Water Jet into its eyes.

Once it was blind and immobilized, all he had to do was stab it with his spear.

“Ha, yes!”

Ryo had finally discovered a safe way to hunt—one that would at least work on lesser rabbits. This method didn’t work on lesser boars though. He had faced off against a number of them since his first encounter with one, but this technique hadn’t been effective. The reason was simple. When a lesser rabbit jumped, it exposed its hindlegs, leaving it vulnerable to attack. This was not the case with lesser boars, who always charged head-on.

To adapt, he had tried switching his Water Jet attack to the lesser boar’s forelegs, except its hindlegs were powerful enough to continue its charge. He had immediately dodged by lunging to the side, but the encounter brought back the nightmare of his first meeting with a lesser boar. The bitter memory of stabbing it over and over until it stopped moving remained starkly in his mind.

Ever since then, he stuck to the same hunting method for lesser boars he’d used against the very first one—Ice Bahn + Icicle Lance to stop it and the bamboo knife-spear to finish it off. Since the monsters always rushed headlong toward him when they spotted him, it was the best method to trap them.

At any rate, Ryo had become relatively competent at hunting lesser rabbits and boars safely since they appeared often in the area surrounding his house. His schedule lately consisted of hunting in the mornings outside the barrier and practicing magic within it in the afternoons. Icicle Lance still didn’t fly while Water Jet still lacked the force to pierce through its target.

Even so, the success of his daily hunts brought a certain kind of peace to Ryo’s heart.

“Peace is the stepping stone to the next step—Ryo Mihara.”
