Battle Maid

Quest Completed! -Col: 400 -EXP: (3336/10)*1*1 = +333.6 -Special Unlock: Martial Arts Weapon Skill

"Go to hell!" A curse shamed everyone's ears as the maid threw all of her remaining strength into a final kick that blasted stone into the distance. She would lay there, panting ruthlessly and planning how best to go about killing the master if he gave her any other task than the shit she has been through today. "You are... quite something young one. Even if you did not necessarily use my intended style you reduced the rock to rubble faster than some of my best learner. I think you have earned the right to be among the ranks of the pugilists." He would say. 'Quest Complete!' would ap

With another full-force kick, the boulder crumbled into it was nothing but a small mound just smaller than a large breed of dog. The thought quickly left her though as she attempted the final blow on the boulder. Her legs would give out, though. The maid fell backwards on to her rear end where she collapsed further to the ground. While sitting on her back she tried to get her foot moving but it refused her command. "Come on! You have to give that to me! It's smaller than me at this point!" The girl pleaded but the master simply shook his head solemnly. She knew that it wasn't going to hap

A stronger kick of frustration tore into the boulder. The fractures were as deep as a fissure in the earth, ripping the outer shell of the oversized paper weight into smaller and smaller pieces that crumbled around it. The main piece of the structure was about her size now. Two or three more attacks would finish it if she could handle just a little more. Her legs were undamaged thanks to the weapon made by that blacksmith but they were burning to the point that she felt as though she could barely stand. Her rasped panting didn't go unnoticed though. "Wouldn't a short break be in order

Her heels were becoming a more deadly and precise weapon with every kick she dealt to the boulder. It was below twenty percent health points - Invigorating to say the least. She wanted nothing more than to get away from this mountain and to never return to this floor ever again. If all the quests in the game were like this one she was not sure that she could handle doing all of them to catch back up to the frontlines. If that was the case, though, they'd be out of Aincrad already. "Break damn you! Let's finish this already! I want to get some sushi and sleep for the rest of the week!" Tok

Flurries of kicks kept adding small pebbles at her feet as she continued to chip away at the boulder. Another message would come through to her mailbox but she would ignore it for the most part. She did not want to stop in fear of losing steam. This was the home stretch akin the last mile of a marathon. Somehow, she never thought she would be able to hate something more than that but here they were now. "You certainly have the spirit to survive out there based on what I've seen. Even without my techniques you've really shown that boulder who the boss is, so to say. Even faster than I've s

Tokki stepped around to the blank side of the boulder, a new canvas ready to be painted upon... with her boots the brush. In its state now, the boulder was unlikely to last much longer. She could only hope that was actually the case. Thankfully, critical hits were giving her a break for not having the buffs necessary to finish it quickly. It really didn't matter that much to her as long as she acquired the skill in the end of the quest. Steel rang when connecting with stone. Cracks began to form again, much more quickly than the other half as she expected. "Not much longer now, youngster.

With another strong blow, Tokki's legs would prove to be the bane to this boulder's isolated and lonely existence. The entire half of the boulder that the maid had been slowly working down crumbled into pieces. It was being reduced in size before her eyes. A quick step backwards would save her from the avalanche of rocks that would pile up at her feet. She turned to face Master Yunxiang and took a small break. "Such a feat would have taken longer with my fists." "You were not lying young one. Ah, how I wish I could feel as young as you again." The master sighed. "These days I simply don'

"I have more strength and training in my legs." Tokki simply answered. "My technique does not matter if I have no strength to back up my punches." "I see. Well, I never said you have to use the technique. If you truly believe this better than continue. I will watch carefully." The master would take a seat nearby and observe. The maid sighed and continued to lay waste to the earthen pimple that has blighted her eyes for the past hour or so. Her foot made contact again with it, cracking the stone with more and more fractures. The beast was large, though, and she still had awhile to go befor

She was getting faster. Her legs moved at a lightning pace that she was surprised she could handle. The system was somewhat helping with the arduous task. Perhaps that meant that the skill was coming a little more naturally than she thought it would. If that was the case, maybe the quest wasn't a complete bum. Cracks filled this side of the boulder in a spider web fashion. Another hefty, heavy kick to the boulder would spread them even further and her damage somehow doubled despite not hitting a critical this time. Damage must be very weirdly calculated. "I see you're still at it." T

Reeling back her foot and pressing forth with the heel of her boots, Tokki had stuck a major blow. Every single crack on the boulder shuttered and spindled outward further than she had left them all before. If she kept up with it longer it would be dead in the next hour. Though, to be honest, spending another hour in this place was truly trying her patience in a way she had never expected. Knowing all that, she continued to hit the boulder with as much force as she could. Her aim was the cracks that were already made on the boulder. Continuing to hit these spots would sooner or later reduce th

With her short break finished, Tokki felt a bit rejuvenated. Her day had already been so long: Hiking up a mountain for hours only to do menial training and beating down a stationary target until it was dead. Hopefully not all of the quests in this game were as simple in design. Perhaps they did this specifically so that low level players can't unlock any weapon they prefer early. However, if that was the case, why not just make it available for purchase at level one like all the other weapon skills? Nevertheless she had a task ahead of her and it wouldn't get finished with her just stand

The metal protection against her exhausted legs left her slightly off balance but Tokki had already noticed that the cracks were getting bigger. The boulder was folding to the strength of her training-hardened body. The level of endurance the teenager was able to handle seemed beyond superhuman but with a mixture of her time in track and field and the digital world allowing to exceed the normal human she could finish all this training one day and not be winded. The nap afterwards will be nice, however. With all that said, Tokki decided to take a moment to catch her breath and plan wh

Left to her own devices, Tokki would try to use all the knowledge she had learned in the first training form. There wasn't much else to do than really to think on all this. At such a young age she has seen years of her life wasted away in a video game. She wondered how her body in the real world was handling the comatose state. Surely by now they had some medical care to people's physical bodies or else they'd all be dead. Her parents had to be administering her hormones. Hopefully this wasn't affecting their budget too much, she would hate having that burden. Her punches had started putt

Several agonizing hours later after only a few breaks Tokki would return to the master. "How much more of my time will you be taking up?" She asked with slightly rasped breath. "You're not even tired? We've been training all day." The girl would return a similarly serious expression that he had before they began. "Right, well, your last task will see some action." The breaking up of monotony of simple tasks would be nice. Perhaps she would have to fight someone of her level in beat them in a fight to earn the skill. Was this going to turn into a tournament arc? "For your last task, y
