[F01-SP] <<The Second Lesson, Is Also Free>>


Recommended Posts

Prisma looked at Lyle Tealeaf’s blacksmith shop. She took a deep breath. It’s not like she didn’t know how to fight. She’d learned a little bit on Day 1 before the announcement. She was just a bit terrified of it.But if she wanted to start participating in this game, she did need to get used to fighting, learn more about it, and learn how to do it safely. Prisma took a deep, slow breath, then approached the shop.

“Hello,” she called. The blacksmith replied, “With you in a moment!” She watched as he concluded his current animation, then turned towards her. “Oh, it’s you!” he said. “How can I help you?”

“I want to help you like you said,” said Prisma. Was that enough? Was that clear enough to activate the next quest?

“Ah, excellent! I have just the thing.” Lyle approached her. “I need you to get me some Boar Pup Tusks.”

The Boar Pups are in the fields outside of town,” said Lyle. “They’re relatively weak, and shouldn’t give you too much trouble. I need three of their tusks.”

Prisma nodded.

“Does this sound like something you can do?” he asked.

Oh, right. Accepting the quest. “Yes, I can do that for you,” said Prisma, giving him a solid answer.

“Great!”Quest Log Updated. “Just get some of those for me. Three is all I need.”

“I got it,” she said. “I’ll go do that now.”

“I’ll see you after you’re done,” said Lyle, smiling. Prisma turned away.

She moved down Market Street, passing Zackariah’s shop, and headed out into the field. She surveyed the plains, and spotted a section off to the right where the boars were small in size. As she approached, she noticed a yellow line around the color cursors of the little boars, and each was labeled Boar Pup. Well. Alright. Prisma drew her spear.

Prisma approached a Boar Pup that seemed isolated enough to attack safely. It snorted loudly (loudly enough to be obvious that it was now in combat), and turned to face her. Having seen what an adult did, Prisma waited to see how it might attack. This one too pawed the ground, then bunched its muscles and charged. Prisma jumped out of the way, dancing backwards as the monster swept past. “Ha!” she exclaimed. She dodged it! Take that! Oh, right-

Prisma ran after it to stab it with her spear. Its health went down to a bit over half. So they weren’t that tough. Weak enemies for a beginner quest. Fair, but she wondered just how much weaker they were than ordinary enemies. Would normal enemies be just a little worse, or a lot worse? She should try a Sword Skill next. Prisma backed up away from the Boar Pup, holding her spear out horizontally.

Prisma drew back her spear with the appropriate motion input, and waited. When she felt her spear start to shake, she let it jump forward and connect with the Boar Pup with a brilliant blue light. The Boar Pup squealed, its HP draining to empty. Prisma watched, fascinated, as a blue grid pattern coated its hide, and then it exploded into blue, shimmering fragments. A screen popped up in front of her, startling her. “Boar Pup Tusk,” she read. Perfect! She clicked the OK button.

She’d survived a fight without even taking a hit. Not too bad, so far. She still needed to be careful. She didn’t know what kind of damage these dealt- though her armor was good, and she did have these health potions. She flipped open and reached inside the bag at her waist, just to prove to herself that she could quickly pull out a potion if needed. Good. She picked out her next target.

BD: 4 + 1ACC = 5 (Prisma's Pierce misses)
MD: 10 (Boar Pup gets a Big Crit (no bonus damage for quest))

  • Prisma: 60/60 | 3/6 EN (+1 regen -2 for missing)
    • Pierce: (2 base) x 2 = 4 DMG
  • Boar Pup: 5/5
    • Attack: 3 DMG - (9 Prisma MIT) = 0 DMG

Prisma approached her target. She took a deep breath, then tried running at it to strike first. She charged up Pierce and launched it at her enemy.

And missed.

She stumbled past, startled when the charge of the Sword Art plunged her past the Boar Pup. Behind her, it snorted, and she heard it paw the ground. She attempted to slow herself and twisted to try and look at it, just in time to see it bunch up and charge. It smacked into her stomach, knocking the breath out of her. She rolled across the ground. It was fortunately less painful than it would have been in real life, but still disorienting. She scrambled to her feet, dazed, and holding her spear out in front of her defensively. Her eyes flashed to her health bar frantically. Full? Wait- It was full. She hadn’t taken any damage. These things were weaker than her armor?

BD: 5 + 1ACC = 6 (Prisma's Pierce hits)
MD: 3 (Boar Pup's attack misses)

  • Prisma: 60/60 | 2/6 EN (+1 regen -2 from Pierce)
    • Pierce: (2 base) x 2 = 4 DMG

    • Attack: 3 DMG - (9 Prisma MIT) = 0 DMG

Prisma circled the Boar Pup, which snorted at her, ears flicking. Well, at least they were nice and slow on the attack speed. She tried for another Pierce, letting her spear lunge out with a bright blue light to strike the creature squarely. Its health dropped to almost empty. So it was just above what she could manage. Still, she should try to land a Pierce for her first hit from now on, in case she critted. She backed away from the monster just in time for it to snort, paw the ground, and charge her again. She jumped aside and had to back further out of the way in order to avoid getting hit. She turned to face it, getting ready to try to just hit it once, without a Sword Art. Just one more hit and she could kill it. And just two more drops and she could finish this quest.

  • Prisma: 60/60 | 2/6 EN (+1 regen -1 from attack)

Dice ID: 112576 - LD: 7 (No Drop)

Prisma took a deep breath, then ran at the Boar Pup. Not as fast as before, since that had made her miss, but just enough to get in there quickly. She stabbed it. The remaining chip of HP drained, and just as before the monster was coated with a blue grid before exploding into light. She waited, but no drop screen appeared this time. Disappointing. Prisma frowned.

At least there was literally no risk in fighting these things. At least, as far as she knew. She’d only taken one hit so far, and it hadn’t done her any damage at all. And with luck, she’d soon get everything she needed and gain the rewards of the quest. Any amount of being harder to kill was good. She hoped she could get a shield from this quest.

She decided to take a break. Fighting was tiring, she wasn’t that used to it yet. She needed to recover a bit before going on.

Turn 1 Out of Combat:

  • Prisma: 60/60 | 3/6 EN (+1 regen)

She backed away from the Boar Pups and headed back towards town. Dodging enemies, she pulled up to the safe zone around the wall and moved over to sit down next to it. She browsed her inventory. So, so far, one Tusk. She needed two more. Her first one had dropped it. The second one hadn’t. Who knew what the drop rate was. Probably relatively high? It WAS a beginner quest, but then again, it had taken her forever just to find those Red Potion Flowers. She flicked through the guidebook to the quest, just in case. Nothing, really. Rewards, one weapon or one armor. Did that include a shield? Was a shield a type of armor? She hoped so. She closed the menu and stared out over the field,then immediately opened it again to send a message to herself.Buy Shield if quest doesn’t give one, she typed. Send. Good.

Turn 2 Out of Combat:

  • Prisma: 60/60 | 4/6 EN (+1 regen)

How much did a shield cost, anyways? She’d have to check. If it was more than she could afford… maybe she could grind some Col from enemies…? She was starting to feel like that was viable. Bored, she browsed through the menu. If only she had something to do. She pulled out some juice to have and sipped it while watching the field. Maybe she’d try again after this. She felt a little better, anyways. At least she hadn’t taken any damage yet. Unfortunately, this still meant that she didn’t know how she’d react when she eventually did take damage. She’d been hoping to find out now and get it over with. Teach herself how to react and heal herself and stuff like that. She finished her juice and chucked the bottle on the ground to watch it shatter. It was ridiculous, but she liked doing that. Finished with an item? Throw the rest away and watch it despawn!
