"What?"
'Nine Knights Guild' they are the best information guild, because the guild does not fight monsters they are not in the guild rankings but they are the number one guild when it comes to information, their price is appropriate for the information they provide.
I was the one who gave them a commission to find the dragon but there should be no dragons until the second half of the nov... No, there is.
"Ukh."
Sharp pain swept through my mind, as if something long forgotten was suddenly reminded forcefully, and my mind became clear as if there had never been pain in the first place, as if the last piece of the puzzle had finally fallen into place.
Every single word from my novel came flooding back to me in a flash, both parts of the novel were crystal clear.
There is a Dragon in sector one of the snow ranges 'THE SOUNDLESS TAIGA.' The Golden Dragon 'DRELDUIN' is in a dungeon in Sector One, and the novel's main character goes there to hunt the Dragon because he has a vendetta against Dragons, If I go there my two doubts will be confirmed.
"What happened?"
"...ah sorry, I was lost in thought."
"..."
I guess she not a cold-hearted person. I can go to that dungeon later to clear my doubts, and maybe I should start using my novel knowledge more now that I remember it so thoroughly, I only used the magic and fighting skills I learned from Frostine because I needed them to survive; I guess I saw the world normally rather than as a novel, but nothing will change now.
Wait.... I don't remember writing about her, if she is this talented there is no way I wouldn't remember her, I don't think she even a part in my novel.
"...What are looking at?"
".... oh sorry."
I didn't even realize I was staring at her, ahem, anyway it doesn't matter maybe my influence has caused a butterfly effect somewhere. But I'm sure this is my novel if I just look at my 'STATUS WINDOW' I'll know.
"...Well anyway, are you sure a normal contract is, ok?"
"Yeah."
"You'll have to show me your stats and traits."
"..."
Displaying stats and traits means revealing your abilities; if your opponent has a rough estimate of your strength, it could be fatal. It is a different matter how they use their techniques; if I have a rough idea of my opponent's strength, I will use any means to avoid getting in a dangerous situation and killing them. Though some heroes' traits are too obvious, their purchased skills and martial arts can conceal them; however, if both stat ranks and traits are revealed, it will be a fatal flaw of the hero.
'TRAITS' come with their own skill set, so it is well hidden; traits can be passed down, so some families have their traits passed down to their children to increase their rank; traits of the 7 big families are kept a secret and passed down to the new generation as they complete their training and have their own ground to stand on.
"Ok then, stat ranks and skills."
"...ok."
"STATUS WINDOW"
She said and started to tap in air, she is seems to be hiding her 'TRAITS'.
'STATUS WINDOW' I mumbled in my head.

'Hmmm... I'm going to Sector One; I should go hunting when I get back.'
If I don't try to break through soon, my talent may stagnate, and it may take half a year for me to break through. I should start intensifying my training. Oh right, I haven't trained for the past few days.
"Hmmm."
"...here, I'll be showing my skills and stat ranks."
She looked at me and swiped her index finger to the right, and her status window appeared in my line of sight.

"Ho.... good, good." Her stats impressed me; she hasn't even used half of her talent yet and she is already at rank- A; if she had used all of her talent, she would have been at least rank- S by now.
"You can also look at my stats right here." I swiped my index finger and saw my status window in front of her, and she gave me a puzzled look.
"Do you see anything weird?"
Can she possibly see (+10)? I assumed it would be hidden if I concealed its trait; should I have concealed it as well? When we show our stats to others, we don't show numbers, right? Isn't it true that only their rank is shown? Right? What should I do? I believe I have sweat all over my back; why is she silent? Could it possibly be....
"... you only have three skills?"
"..."
"If that's the case, did you show me your trait?"
"..."
I looked at her, perplexed; what was she so puzzled about? If it's not there then doesn't it naturally mean that it's my trait?
"Are you okay with revealing your trait to me like that?"
"Ah"
So, you were concerned about me. I rubbed my nose with my finger and smiled a little. Isn't this the second time someone has expressed concern about me? I'm slightly moved....
Looking at my expression she sat cross legged and spoke in a serious tone.
"I'm not worrying about you."
"Guh"
"I just think you're dumb."
"Ahkk"
".... and I thought you were weaker than me."
"Guhh"
I clenched my fist near my heart, it hurt more because she looked completely serious as she spoke, and my mind said, 'EMOTIONAL DAMAGE,' 'Shut up, you crazy bastard.' I cursed at my mind, my own mind mocking me, and I nearly burst out laughing when I suddenly remembered it.
"So, if you agree to show me that technique too, then I'll agree."
"...which technique?"
"That, how you act weaker."
"Guh."
My mind, with three Chibi-like characters, performed an act with her in front of me, and I coughed up blood every time she said those words, and another Chibi of myself with a moustache appeared every time she said something, and this time my mind said 'K.O.'
".... alright, that shouldn't be a problem as I plan to teach this to the students too."
"...Ok."
I leaned back yawning, pulled my hands back and stretched my whole body maybe my t-shirt was pulled up a little as it felt cold near my stomach, cracks were heard and leaned back forward happily, that felt great.
"Haa."
"..."
I opened my eyes and saw Isha staring at me, I tilted my head puzzled as to why she was staring at me, I too started to stare at her after a brief moment, I think she snapped out of her thoughts then suddenly a staring contest began between us, her eyes reddened a bit and she was about to blink...
"What are you looking at?" she said.
"Nah..... you cheated, I won."
"Wha-what do mean I cheated?"
"No. No way, I won." I stood up, and my chair vanished. She also stood up, and the chairs we were sitting on vanished.
"When did I cheat?"
"No, you spoke at the last second, so I won."
"Wha-what?"
"No, no, no, I won."
I stuck out my tongue at her, she scoffed at me and walked towards the door.
"What a child." she mumbled.
"I heard that."
"Tsk." she clicked at tongue and paced up at little, I suddenly remembered that I don't know anything about her except for her name.
"Wait."
"..." she steps halted and she turned to face me, I walked towards her and noticed that she was bit taller than me.
"Ahem... can I look at your ID and get your contact."
"Contact is understandable, but why do you need my ID?"
"Ahem... it's only for a second."
"..... here." she looked at me suspiciously. I handed her my smartwatch and took the ID she was holding out.
