East Meet West

101- Mock battles and the Speculation 2

Once again, I told the system to convert 20% of MP to [Free stat points].

‘ding’

‘20% of MP has been converted to [Free stat points]’

‘Host has obtained 4 [Free stat points].’

There are two reasons for me to convert only 20 % of MP and not 100%.

The first reason is, one time I told the system to convert 100% of my MP to [Free stat points], but as soon as the system executed the command, I felt like all the water from my body has been drained and my throat felt dry, it was as if I did not drink water for many days. All my cells were drained of energy and I fell. I was extremely weak at that moment and only after managing to consume an MP potion, did I barely recover. That's when I decided that no matter what happens, I will never choose this option.

The second reason is if there is a situation where I need to use certain skills or in need of MP, then 80% of MP should be enough to deal with the situation. Although, I should be safe in the Lamia tribe, but dangers never knock on the door when they arrive. Of course, I could use MP potions, but that’s just wasting money.

.

After, that I decided to increase my stats because I will be fighting Demi-Monster stage opponents and for that, all my stats should be close enough to 400, as an average demi-human's stats should be around 400.

Of course, there must be a difference in the strength of monsters and humans, and which means that a monster’s stats will be different. But anyway, I need to prepare, or else it would be insulting if I am not even able to few moves from my opponent.

After thinking for few seconds, I told the system to add 40 [Free stat points] to ‘Defense’, ‘Sense’, ‘Stamina’, and ‘Intelligence’ stat each. And 20 [Free stat points] to ‘Agility’ stat.

‘ding’

‘40 [Free stat points] have been added to ‘Defense’, ‘Sense’, ‘Stamina’ and ‘Intelligence’ stats each.’

‘20 [Free stat points] has been added to ‘Agility’ stat.’

I saw that I had only 8 [Free stat points] were left, looks like the task to increase the ‘Charm’ stat still has to wait.

While I was lost in thought, a sudden nudge on my shoulder bought me back to reality.

Julie was the one, who nudged my shoulder.

Julie spoke,

“What happened? I saw that you were lost in thoughts.”

“Nothing, I just felt that the fights were boring, so I was thinking of something else.”

Hearing this Julie looked at me weirdly and said,

“I say Orochi, either you are an over confident fellow or are an expert, for you to feel that the fights are boring. Here, I am nervous about the fights and you are day dreaming.”

Of course, other Lamia’s near us also heard me, some were looking at me with hostility, some were looking at me with curiosity and some were looking at me weirdly. I understand why they look at me in such a way, but compared to fights that I had in ‘Gurukul’ these are nothing, but of course, they were just friendly matches. And the fights that I had in the ‘dark forest’ just belong to a different league.

But yeah, I am not insulting the Lamias who fought, it’s just common for beginners to fight like that.

I replied to Julie with a smile,

“Hey, don’t get offended. I am just saying that since I have fought many times, I feel that these matches are boring. But of course, when I fought for the first time, my match was worse than this.”

Of course, the last sentence is just to appease Julie and other Lamias who were listening to our conversation, such that no one gets offended and picks up a fight with me.

When I said this, everyone looked amazed and even Julie looked baffled and asked me,

“Then that means you are an experienced guy with a lot of combat experience?”

I simply nodded and seeing this Julie excitedly took my hands and said,

“Hey Orochi, then you have to give me some tips for the fight.”

Julie looked at me with big and pure eyes.

Seeing this, I told her

“When you get on the stage, don’t be nervous and if you are nervous, just take a deep breath.”

Hearing this, I saw Julie still looking at me with expectations. So, after that, I just told her few more battle tips. Of course, what I told her is how to be calm. I cannot tell her how to fight, because her opponents will be different in every match and they will have different tactics. And it's not like, I can predict how her opponent will fight, so I can only just advise her how to prepare for a fight. She has to fight her own battles and temper her spirit, no one can help in these kinds of things.

While I was talking with Julie, a female voice called to me,

“Brother-in-Law, what are you doing here?”

I turned in the direction from which the sound came and saw that two Lamia’s were walking towards me.
