The next day.
“Hmm…” Cirrus gets up and feels much better than before.
Chirp! Chirp!
“??” Cirrus looks out to find the rising sun. “It’s morning? Shit how long was I…” his thoughts cleared for a second and a number came to his head. “15 hours…I was asleep for 15 hours…huh? Is this what it feels like to be smart?”
Cirrus goes and takes a shower.
"Huh? Neat."
He gets himself dressed and starts his day with taking a break and reorienting himself with this new updated body.
Walking downstairs he heard some voices besides Lenoa and Nox, after a taking a few more steps he recognized the voices.
He entered the kitchen to find Eupheme and Ai eating with Nox and Lenoa.
“Uhh what’s going on?” he said as the four of them enjoy a good breakfast.
“Ah Cir-“
“Cirrus!! Come and eat!!” shouted Ai interrupting Lenoa.
Ai’s sunny disposition truly livened the room.
“Hm? Cirrus did you get more muscle?” said Eupheme as Cirrus was taking his seat.
“Probably, so why are you two here?” said getting a plate from Nox.
“We came to see you!” said Ai. “Word spread really fast that you returned and Eupheme said she knew where you lived but I didn’t think it was so well hidden!”
“Only mages come here so you have to be rather smart to find a store of this high quality!” Lenoa said with grin.
“Oooh!! I see so only the worthy can find your store! But then how do you make money?”
“Her customers have deep pockets.” Cirrus said.
“Hmm maybe I should do that as well, would be easier to get loyal customers but…hmmm never mind.” Said Eupheme. “Oh can I see Brilliant Nightmare when your done eating?”
“Sure, can you pass the bacon?”
Lenoa passes the bacon.
“So are you going to go on another outing?” said Ai. “Or are you going to go in the Dungeon?”
“Neither. I plan on relaxing for a day or two.”
“Oh! Then will you have a spar with me!”
“…Aren’t you level 1?”
“I’m close to level 2! I just need to do something impressive!”
“Uhh…sure after were done eat-“
“Done!” she said with a clean plate.
“…” Nox was stunned, just a few seconds ago he saw a plat full of eggs and bacon and the next they were gone, he can still egg bits on the corners of her mouth.
“Why don’t you warm up in the back!” said Nox. “Cirrus will be done in a bit!”
“Okay!” she got up and took a spear to the back.
“…Has Ai been going into the dungeon with you Eupheme?” Cirrus said.
“She has, she’s actually very talented, she has been taught well.” She said finishing her plate. “Now if you aren’t going out to the dungeon I’ll inspect your weapon to see if it needs any maintenance from that fight.”

“Thanks, it’s always nice to have a pro look after ones weapons!” Cirrus said.
“Thanks for the compliment but if its bad ill have you undergo a 2 weeklong training session since you also have a the Blacksmith ability.”
“Haha…it’s in my room on the far right next to the door.”
“Hm.”
Eupheme goes up stairs.
“You should have brought Ai sooner Cirrus.” Said Lenoa getting up and putting her plate in the sink. “She’s a very lively girl! Sweeter than you Nox.” She said as he goes to the front of her store.
“You know you can’t handle more of my sweetness! Besides Cirrus has most of it!” Nox said picking up Eupheme’s plate and her own to the sink. “Well since we aren’t going to do anything today I’ll be out! See ya!” she then got her cloak and left through the front.
“…Guess I’ll be spending time with Ai.”
After eating Cirrus cleaned his plate and went outside to find Ai cleaning up the back.
“Your training area is pretty dirty Cirrus.” She said.
“Well I don’t usually train with another person here so…yeah.”
“Hm, well.” She places the broom aside and takes her spear. “Should we start?”
“I’m not stopping you?”
She swung her spear around and came at Cirrus.
“Haaaa!!”
She made quick thrusts followed by slashes.
Cirrus could easily see through the attack and dodge with minimal effort.
“Quicker, read your opponent and attack with quick shallow attacks.”
“Gr! Why shallow! Don’t you wanna take them down!”
“Yes but if you simply break the flesh then you can bleed them out and your opponent won’t get the chance to grab your spear like this.”
Cirrus then grabs the spear by its neck.
“Then I’ll just do this!”
Cirrus could hear a slight click as he his draw down towards the spear’s shaft and saw that it detaches.
If not for his reflexes and instincts as a level 6 he surly would have been cut down.
Swish~
Cirrus took a step back in reaction.
“Heh~ so it is like my weapon.” Cirrus said looking at the spear portion of the weapon. “Seems your talent lays with the sword.”
In Ai’s hand was a Aikuchi, a katana with no guard. In her hands it seemed very dangerous yet very fitting for her.
Her eyes were focused on Cirrus and her fox ears were high up, to Cirrus it was like looking at a predator on high alert.
“Lord Susanoo taught me well now get ready!” She said in a uncharacteristic manner dotting her way to Cirrus with excellent footwork.
“Very well!” he then holds the spear part as a dagger and clashed with Ai. “Let’s polish each other’s techniques!!”
