Chapter 17 - #17 Outside of the Capital (2/2)

'...He is doing it gain, *sigh* Anyway, it looks like I have a job on this side too.' Ichika thought with a small smile behind her mask and completely dodged the first wolf, kicked the second one into stomach and slashed the neck of the third one.
---
Seeing how even 3 of them together couldn't overpower her, their attention was directed at me.
I already arrived in front of 2 wolves and thrust my sword towards the one wolf with a fluid movement and with no motion before my sudden attack.
The wolf wasn't able to react to it fast enough and I pierced his head in the place between his eyes.
The second wolf used this chance to attack me while my sword was still stuck in his friend.
He jumped at me with his jaw wide open, trying to bite me. I just glanced at him with my half-opened eyes and put my palm in front of him, the fire gushed out of my palm right into the wolf's mouth, burning him from inside.

Hmm, just one charisma? To be honest, I am slightly surprised that they give the same amount as those thugs. But maybe humans have a fixed amount of XP they give.
I thought and turned around at 2 remaining wolves who were already rushing towards me but when they saw the fire come out of my hand, they immediately stopped.
...Their fur isn't for much money...We already have 3 of them, no need for any additional bait.
I thought and waved my hand, releasing a horizontal line of fire. This time, I used a bit more Energy since they were some distance away and I wanted to kill them instantly instead of just burning their fur.
They tried to run away but there is no way they could run away from a fire, not with their speed. When the flames enveloped them, they immediately disappeared, leaving only their ashes behind.

”Good job, young lord!” Ichika said with a cheerful tone.

'Young lord is really amazing...I have never seen him practicing with a sword yet all of his movements were natural and without any unnecessary moves. I wonder when did he learn this but...I guess I no longer care. He is too abnormal for me to grasp.' Ichika thought while looking around her at the wolves' dead bodies.

I nodded at her and burned one more dead wolf, surprising Ichika.

”Young lord, why did you burn him? What about the furs?” She asked me with a confused tone.
”Furs are far too cheap. These two will serve as a good bait for stronger creatures.” I said while pointing at two dead wolves.
It seems that if I completely burn my enemy together with ”loot” it will give me experience into my Special Class. It's a trade, experience for useful items. I wonder if I can burn some Teigus and if yes...how much experience would I get?
I couldn't help but think with an excited smile.
Since the ”battle” ended, I can also change my class. I won't need my current class out here.

My strength is extremely bad, I need to train my body overall once I return home.
I thought and noticed Ichika's wide-open eyes.
”What is it?” I asked her with a confused expression.
”Young lord, didn't you say that we won't go too deep into the forest?” She asked me with a helpless tone.
”We won't go too far, don't worry.” I reassured her and she only sighed.
?! Wait, since this RPG system, shouldn't parties also be possible?
”Ichika, give me your hands.” I said and she tilted her head in confusion but still extended her arms to me.
I gently took hold of her hands and closed my eyes.
...Now, what to do? Let's just try to think about forming a party.
...After 5 seconds of trying to form a party with Ichika, text appeared inside my mind.
[Insufficient charisma to become group leader]
So it's possible. I wonder how it works, maybe I can make other people stronger just by killing monsters with them.
But I don't really care about that...Just imagination of taming a few Danger Beasts, adding them to my party and let them run amok inside this forest...hehehe.
”That's all.” I said and let go of her hands before it would start to get awkward.
