nEmbraced with Choko, Nero opened her eyes and in her retina this message appeared. She was awakened from her sleep. Because of the bed's movement, Choko also woke up.

n

"Nero, what time is it?

" Choko asked in a sleepy voice with her eyes still closed.

n

"Time to train. Come on, you haven't absorbed all the Monster Cores yet. After that, let's break into the dungeon again,

" Nero said.

n

"Again?

" Choko sat up and rubbed her eyes.

n

"Yes, we have to get as strong as possible to pass the Hunter School with great merit.

" Nero smiled. Of course, the truth was she wanted the Valkyrie sword....

n

"Well... I'll push myself, ohh!!

" Her cry sounded sleepy and very cute . Nero couldn't help but cup her cheeks in her left hand and implant a kiss.

n

"...

"

nIf she had been sleepy before, Choko now woke up instantly. She looked at Nero in amazement but didn't ask why she did it. Nero hummed off to the bathroom.

nChoko came back from the bathroom in her nightgown. She hadn't changed her clothes. She placed the Monster Cores in a pentagram made of monster blood that facilitated mana circulation and sat in the middle.

nWith hands cupped, she mused. This continued until the Monster Cores exploded when they ran out of mana. She switched Monster Cores and continued.

nThis was repeated 5 times and then

"Bang!

" she had leveled up.

n

"I, I got it!

" She jumped up happily and did the crab dance she was so happy.

n

"Fool , calm down,

" Nero laughed.

n

"But, I'm really happy, you know! I'm level 8, you know, level 8!

" Choko repeated.

n

"Yes, yes, congratulations. I am very happy for you,

" Nero smiled.

n

"By the way, I changed classes and gained a lot of new skills. Look!

" She showed the Hunter Card.

"It looks amazing. We should test you later.

" Nero was also excited.

nMeanwhile, Nero looked at the meager amount of skills she had and sighed. Well, it's no use regretting something that can't be changed.

n

"I still have 11 Level 6 Monster Cores and 1 Level 7 Monster Core. Should I use it now, or are we going to go out to a dungeon now?

" Choko asked.

n

"Mm, that's not enough to get you up to level 9. Let's go to the dungeon and get more Monster Cores,

" Nero said.

n

"True. Besides, it's not fair that only you have new armor, I want one too. Let's go to a blacksmith shop and buy me some new armor,

" Choko pouted.

n

"Okay, we'll do that,

" Nero agreed.

nAfter leaving the inn, they met Honda and Jingu.

n

"Good Morning,

" Nero and Choko said.

n

"Morning,

" Honda waved.

n

"Good morning, *degozaru*.

" Jingu asked,

"Going for a walk?

"

n

"No, we're going to buy Choko new armor and raid the dungeon again,

" Nero said.

n

"Oh, that is great! We were just going to invite you to go to the dungeon together,

" Honda smiled.

n

"Do you know where there's a good blacksmith here who sells weapons and armor?

" Nero asked.

n

"I know.

" Honda raised her hand and said,

"I'll show you the way.

"

n

"Excellent,

" Nero rejoiced. Maybe she should buy a sword or spear. It was bad not to have a close-range weapon.

nIt didn't take long for them to arrive at the store. Entering, they noticed some hanging medieval weapons. Nero went to the counter and said,

"Sir, I want your best gauntlet and your best woman's armor.

"

n

"Mm?

" The old man in his 60s stroked his beard and appraised Nero and was amazed at how beautiful and young she was. But as an experienced blacksmith, he felt she was a big deal.

n

"Wait a moment.

" The blacksmith went out and came back with a box. He opened it and pulled out some red armor from it.

n

"This armor is my pride. It was made with parts of a real dragon. Its name is Draconic Armor. The stats are: 15 energy

/ 30 strength

/ 10 agility

/ 45 defense,

" the blacksmith said proudly.

n

"Oh, it's nice, even though it's less than the one I'm wearing,

" Nero said.

n

"Oh? You must be kidding, right? How can that be?

" The blacksmith didn't believe it and took his Hunter Card and asked,

"May I assess your armor?

"

n

"Feel free.

" Nero didn't care.

n

"35 energy

/ 51 strength

/ 22 agility

/ 85 defense...

" The blacksmith fell on his ass to the ground.

n

"You see? This armor is better, I warned you,

" Nero smiled.

nThe blacksmith took a deep breath, and said,

"Yes, your armor is perfect. It's the best this old man has ever seen.

"

n

"So, how much is this armor of yours?

" Nero asked.

n

"150 thousand.

" The man stated a fair price.

n

"Mm, and gauntlets, do you have those?

" Nero asked.

n

"Yes, yes. They are also made with dragon parts and are called the Dragon Gauntlets.

" He brought another box and opened it. A pair of red gauntlets appeared and he said,

"This gauntlet has 35 strength and 20 agility. It's not bad, right?

"

n

"Very good,

" Nero nodded,

"And a sword, are there any good ones?

" Nero asked.

n

"Well, the best one I have right now is the Black Widow. She's 30 strength, 25 agility.

" He took another box and opened it and a 150 cm sword appeared. It was made of dark metal and the blade looked sharp. It even glowed, and the hilt was a kind of veil.

n

"I'll take it. How much for everything?

" Nero asked.

n

"Everything would come to 300 thousand. Know that I'm barely profiting from this,

" the blacksmith said sincerely. Nero noticed too.

n

"Fine, I'll pay 350k for everything.

" Nero was not heartless. Since the man was kind, she also showed kindness.

n

"Choko , because you're stunned there, go and get your things and we'll go back to the inn so you can change your clothes and then we'll go to the dungeon,

" Nero said.

n

"Y-Yes!

" Choko woke up from her daze.

n

"Thank you customer. If you need repairs, you can always come to my store. I will do them for free!

" the blacksmith said. After all, expensive items were difficult for a place with novices to buy this kind of equipment.

nEven Jingu and Honda were still slack-jawed. They didn't expect Nero to be so rich and spend 350,000 so easily.

nHonda and Jingu were still silent on the way back until Honda asked,

"Is Nero a princess or something? I mean, where does she get so much coin?

"

n

"Well, I don't know either, *dejozaru*,

" Jingu said, confused.

nThe most surprised was Choko, who won something so valuable.. She held the two boxes as if her life depended on it.
