.....

I checked the Status for the Skill once more, and saw that I now needed 6000 Skill Proficiency Points, that’s quite a lot now... It might take me more than I expected, and it increases by +1000 plus the previous quantity, so I always need more and more, quite the hassle.

Of course, the Level Bonus has also increased, and I acquired a nice new boost of +10% to the Skill effects. If it could reach +100%, how strong would the skill become? It is quite insane that by just repeatedly using a Skill I can gain skill proficiency and make it stronger, although it constantly requires more and more, so it is quite exhausting. I guess you could call it “grindy”.

The mechanics for Skills seem pretty easy to tell, it is just constantly repeating the usage of something for an enormous quantity of time, I don’t know how this even works, but I guess in real life it also somewhat is a good way to become stronger, exercising is a repeated action, and also conjuring magic constantly is a good way for your magic to become swifter.

I suppose getting better at such things is all about repeating the same action over and over again, constantly, and probably forever... No wait that’s how all life is, isn’t it? We wake up, sleep, go to the bathroom, eat, sleep, and repeat... It is a constant repeat of the same actions.

Ah, thinking about this really put me on perspective, I just gotta continue the grind. I moved to the dining room and greeted my family, my mother was the first to greet me by reprimanding me a bit, while my father smiled nervously at her side.

“Sylphy! Did you just fell asleep in the woods?” She asked. “Your father told me that he found you sleeping there, too unconscious to even move for yourself! What if a monster would have showed up? You shouldn’t take naps in the middle of the wilderness! And what were you doing there?”

“Sorry... I was practicing Nature Magic.” I said. “I am getting better at it, now I can extract life from plants way better than before. It might become more useful...”

“Oh... So you were practicing... You should overexert yourself though. You already worked hard through the entire day, I thought you were going to take the day off and just rest.” Sighed my mother.

“Sorry again... I am just a workaholic, I cannot be without doing something, I am either sleeping or training or practicing magic.” I sighed. “It feels wrong if I am not doing something like that while on my free time.”

“Hmm... I-I guess we can’t help it.” Sighed my mother. “After all the things you’ve gone through, it is natural that you might want to grow as strong as possible as fast as possible... I suppose that if you use all of the time, when you grow up, you’ll surely become admirably strong. But even then... I don’t want my daughter to skip those nice moments of her childhood because she wants to grow stronger, you know? You’ve already matured so fast... I just want you to appreciate these years and have fun.”

My mother was right, I should probably embrace these years and just have normal childish fun, the thing is, my two other friends are also hard workers and workaholics too, so they’re probably in the same thing as me, they want to use all the time they got to grow stronger. I guess my mother experienced a bad childhood? Well, I had a nice one... until the thing with the bandits happened.

And my mother probably is so old she misses being a child? Perhaps that might be, perhaps she wants to be a child again without all the bad parenting she probably had, her parents seem, apparently and based in what she told me back then, quite the people...

“I also want you to enjoy your childhood, Sylphy...” Sighed my father. “I wish we could give you a life without worries and concerns, even with all the strength we have... It seems very hard.”

“Yeah...” Sighed my mother. “P-Perhaps we should really go to my home... In there, there is a big barrier, stronger than any barrier we can erect ourselves as it is being fueled by the artifacts of my ancestors and my father’s tremendously strong magic, he’s not a Pillar for nothing... But... Sigh...”

“I guess we should, after this, we should make our way there.” Said my father.

“Yeah, you’re right, perhaps I’ll bring the amazon there as well, they’ll be most secure in that place. The travel will be very long though, can we cross the sea with so many people too?” She wondered.

“If we bring out the old ship, yeah, it should be possible.” Said my father.

“Oh, that old thing... And yes, I agree, going to the elven continent wouldn’t be a bad idea, this continent is plagued with the human nations that just want to use us, at the very least the elves are too prideful to ask for our help openly.” Said Shade.

“I don’t like the elven continent but sure...” Said Nepheline.

“Eh? W-What’s happening now?” I wondered. “What are you talking about?”

“Its going to be a long journey so it is a long-term plan pretty much, but if we go to my home, the Elven Nation, it should be more secure and safe, and you can have a better childhood there...” Said my mother.

“We are accelerating our plans, but it is not as if we got any other option.” Insisted my father.
