Chapter 28

Dodge has reached Level 8!

Dodge has reached Level 9!

As they walked through the forest, Larek finally took the time to look through his notifications, though not a lot had changed. Only Dodge from his Martial Skills had increased in Level throughout the fight, as he had used his speed to avoid the attacks of the Golems quite a bit. Even with all the use of his axe during the battle, he didn’t receive another Level in Axe Handling, so he assumed it was going to take a while for it to get there.

He also discovered that he had killed 134 of the Dirt Golems himself – if he was correct in his assumption that he had received 2 AF per kill. It wasn’t long in the resumption of their trek through the forest that the process of purifying the Corrupted Aetheric Force had finished, giving him an extra 268 AF to add to his previous 12 he had left over from killing the Jumping Squirrels. His new total of 280 AF was enough to raise the maximum Level for some of his Mage Skills that were lower-Level, but he held off for now. As for his Martial Skills, they were stuck where they were; instead of there being a cost to them increasing their maximum Level, they just said “N/A”.

“Why do you think that is?” he asked Nedira as they walked northeast through the rapidly thinning forest. At first, the trees had been thick in the valley and mountain range that circled most of the area where Thanchet was located, but the further north they traveled, the density of the forest diminished rapidly. From what he remembered of his Geography class, as well as the little he saw on his original journey to Copperleaf Academy more than half a year ago, the trees would eventually fade away, revealing gently rolling foothills where miles and miles of farms were placed, with the main north-south road passing directly through them. Depending upon which direction you went, you would eventually hit a vast scattering of lakes and ponds to the west, flatter wild grasslands to the north, or a drier plain to the east.

“I don’t know, Larek,” the Naturalist answered after a moment of thought. “There’s so much we don’t know about what this Aetheric Force is that it could be anything.”

Penelope, having overheard the question, ventured her own thoughts on the answer. “It could be because your Martial side hasn’t been cracked open yet.”

It took him a few seconds of pondering her statement before he concluded that he had no idea what she was talking about. “Uh… what?”

“Cracked open,” she restated, before she glanced at the incomprehension on his face. “Kicked awake? Forcibly initiated? Activated? Any of these ring a bell?”

“Do you mean like what happened on the first day of classes when my new stats were unlocked?” he asked, beginning to understand what she was trying to say.

“Yes! Exactly!”

Confusion colored his thoughts. “But I have the Martial stats and can unlock and improve Martial Skills; I even have a Battle Art, as I showed you.
