Chapter 825 Aquarina’s Rank Up
Chapter 825 Aquarina\'s Rank Up
-----
Once we finished having our feast, which lasted over an hour because everyone was utterly starving, we decided to take a break of another hour before departing, although it was more like a preparation break, as we started packing things up.
Most of our friends went to collect materials from the forest with Luck and the Gray Fenrir\'s aid. So with that, I got some time alone with Aquarina in a small clearing within the forest, below the shiny sun, and while sitting over the grass.
"Alright so how do I do this? Do I have to exercise or do some unique trick? Maybe cultivate Mana?!" Wondered Aquarina, trying to figure it out.
"No, just relax." I said. "I\'ll do it for you."
Aquarina nodded, closing he eyes and relaxing…
And then…
Ding!

Amazing! Aquarina even Tiered up right away to Tier 5?! Rank Ups are really amazing! It seems they feed the magic circle and physique with runes, helping them gain tons of ranks and tier up right away.
"I-I feel so strong! Woah…!" Aquarina felt slightly nervous once she Ranked Up, feeling her aura of shadows and water constantly overflowing from her body. "T-This is surreal!"

And not only that, her stats increased a lot! I guess this is the reason behind her feeling so overflowing with power? Her MP increased a ton, and so did all her stats.
Her highest stats is still her amazing Agility at 12k. And she even has Level 4 Skills, so strong! Not only that, but she also gained two new skills, Assassination Arts and Ocean Magic, I\'m guessing both come from her new Class and Subclass.
"So cool- Ah? Assassin? That\'s a Class? And it has two stars!" Aquarina said in surprise.
"Yeah, it means you\'re really strong." I nodded. "I think it is merely based in your strengths; your father has taught you well about that."
"I-I guess you\'re not wrong on that…" Aquarina nodded. "Though, I talked with mom before we came to this adventure… She said that in a year from now, she\'ll be teaching me a lot about how she fights, and she said she\'ll make sure to teach me all she knows about earth magic too."
"Oh really? Cool! Like that you can grow stronger!" I nodded.
"Hmm…" She nodded, suddenly looking slightly… sad?
"Are you okay?" I wondered.
"Ah! Y-Yeah!" She nodded with a smile. "I\'m alright! In fact I\'m super happy! With this strength, we might actually be able to face Arachne!"
"I agree." I nodded. "For now, let\'s go back with everyone else though."
"W-Wait! Can\'t we cuddle for a bit? Relaxing while sitting beneath the tree at least?" She wondered, glancing back at me with adorable puppy eyes.
"Ah… Oh well, fine." I smiled, holding her hand.
We sat beneath the tree while enjoying the warm sunlight, Aquarina cuddled on my chest while I caressed her long and silvery white hair.
Quite honestly, I also needed a moment of relaxation… Just the two of us, without worrying about a single thing for once.
"This reminds of the old days when we were much younger and we played around in the Amazon Jungles, catching rabbits, and sometimes hunting small monsters…" I giggled. "Remember?"
"Oh… Yeah." Aquarina nodded, smiling. "Makes me happy every time I remember when we were younger… Hehehe… You were always there for me."
"I remember that you were much shier and timid back then, although still as overly protective." I laughed. "Where did that cute little Aquarina went to? I miss her~"
"E-Eh? Really?" She wondered. "But I… I changed because I wanted to be strong, to protect you…"
"Huh? I-I was joking!" I sighed. "I love you as you are…"
"Geez! Don\'t joke with stuff like that. It\'s serious." Aquarina pouted a bit. "I-I know I was a crybaby back then… The other kids in the amazon village made fun of me for that too…"
"Aquarina…" I caressed her hair.
"And that\'s why I kept training and training… I didn\'t wanted to get handled around anymore. Nor cry all the time when I was afraid…" She sighed. "But maybe… I\'ve changed too much from who I originally was…?"
"Not at all." I smiled. "You\'re always cute… Even when you show off your badass side, you\'re still very adorable when we\'re together. For me, you\'ll always be that cute baby girl."
"Geez… I am glad you recognize my strength but also saying that stuff is embarrassing!" Aquarina blushed all over. "B-But it is fine if its you who said it…"
"Is that so?" I hugged her tightly, as she started giving me a few kisses.
"Yeah, I\'ll only show this side… to you…" She smiled sweetly.
"Aww…" I gave her a kiss in her forehead. "I\'m glad…"
I\'ll always treasure moments like these in my heart.
