Yup! Ellena was excited over her new sword. Does this mean that she won't be using her other swords? Well, he only got two in total, so basically...

She must leave the other one because her sword technique is only for one sword. It's not for dual-use.

By the way, I didn't teach her the other sword techniques. It's just pressure and would be useless in an actual fight since in fights, she needs to conserve her energy, and basically, plenty of abilities are on the line.

She can't use it for a mere sword technique, just one is enough.

After testing her new sword, we went back to the city and went straight to the guild to take some quests.

Of course, she changed her garments and wore her mask. And as usual, people were looking at her.

Sometimes, there are people who would bombard her and since it's quite annoying, Ellena grumbled at them, and immediately, a point emerges.

Well, it's the point of her mysterious identity. To take points easily. She's not threatening them, just taunting? It's not threatening, right?

Basically, fear comes from plenty of variables, so it's quite vague. It is not also our problem. Maybe they are still scared of 'Noelle'.

That issue in the practical test, wasn't it solved? I mean, everyone knows that it was some hijacker that caused the ruckus and made Ellena someone who was dangerous.

Well, not our problem now. We just need to focus on making a name.

Ellena went to the quest board and searched for something she could take easily. Something not like dungeons because it needs preparation and a party.

Clearing dungeons isn't that easy. Some preparations that appear to be hectic are on the way.

'How about this? Mutated Broaxen?' Ellena asked.

I looked at what she was pointing at and saw the quest with a drawing of a broaxen. It was a mutated version, a monster version of broaxen.

It made me think. If broaxen was an animal, how do mutated versions exist?

Perhaps it's about the dimension rifts that affect the animals? Or copy them and make some mutated version of them.

It still hangs up in my mind, but I know that I can't study it right now.

"It's not bad. But are broaxen that strong?" I asked. I felt like broaxen wasn't supposed to be that strong, right? I mean, she defeated one in a practical test for potential silver rankers.

If broaxen were that strong, why would it be there?

"Are broaxens that strong?" Ellena suddenly asked a nearby adventurer who was also looking for a quest.

He  hung up for a second, realizing that the 'Dark Lightning Princess' just asked him.

After some seconds, he answered Ellena's question, but was still reluctant.

I can't ignore Ellena's charm. Maybe he's too. Even though Ellena is wearing a mask, her charisma is rather strong.

Maybe it's also the reason why Rosellete decided to follow her.

"Yes. Broaxens are strong. Maybe if compared to the monster ranking, they stand at B-rank."

Oh... so they were really strong. Maybe I'm being ignorant since all I can see is Ellena's strength.

Ellena smiled, but I bet that the adventurers didn't see it. Ellena's eyes gleamed as she thanked the adventurer.

"Glad that I could be a help," he said.

Ellena took out the paper and presented it to the receptionist.

Maybe this will also be a good time to try to be solo again. Well, the other girls are on a quest, and Ellena was left since she needed to do some of her business.

The receptionist recorded the quest as Ellena's quest and Ellena left the guild afterward.

So... we went straight to the location. It's near a village, actually. Perhaps they were the ones who requested the subjugation of the monster.please visit

Now that I know that broaxen are equal to B-rank monsters, maybe Mutated Broaxens are stronger than the normal ones.

I noticed that, after being mutated, their strength became stronger. I don't know, but there are variants as well. Monsters that have an ability like humans are scary.

What I mean by scary is that they are unpredictable. Because humans have random abilities and variants as well.

"This will be a good hunt." I heard Ellena mumbling as we took the path to the village.

"Hm?"

"Well... this will be my first time using my new sword. It's really light, you know, " she said.

So that's what she was talking about? I can see her gleaming.

"You are really a battle junkie," I said.

She raised her eyebrow and looked at me. We were still getting on with our pace without ending. This is just a conversation, actually.

"What does that mean?" she asked.

"Really? You don't know?"

"Why would I ask?"

"Oh... so you're sarcastic as well. Hmph! Never mind."

I tried to tease her by acting as if I was irritated with her. Maybe some will touch her heart.

I could just chuckle inwardly.

"Just say it! What's a battle junkie?" she insisted.

"Battle junkie... you are one of them. Who loves fighting."

She became silent and just returned her eyes to the road. She took out the sword from Inventory and jumped on a boulder.

What's she doing?...

Hostility!

I felt something glaring at Ellena! Maybe that's why she didn't reply.

"I bet I really am a battle junkie," Ellena mumbled as she jumped back to the ground.

She just used the boulder to find the hostile entity. When she finally saw it, she slowly approached it with her sword in hand.

There was a monster, actually... That hostile entity was a monster that was nearby and was about to attack Ellena.

I don't know what kind of monster it was since it was hiding, but I know that it was a monster since this kind of hostility is a prejudice of monsters towards humans.

It wasn't something with malicious intent by humans. I know how it feels.

ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom A bush nearby was brushed against, and there appeared a horned monster. It was dark and had an abnormal size.

"This is variant," Ellena said.

Hm? Variant? Oh right! It was really a variant.

I searched for the rune and saw below its leg. I wonder what kind of ability this monster had.

Swish.

Never mind. Ellena just killed it immediately.. I didn't even have the time to assess it.
