Chapter 114: Thinking
The moment Rewen was injured, a warm feeling invigorated throughout his body and he felt the mostfortable he had ever been. It was as if he was drowning in water without feeling any suffocation. The gentle water made his body float at his own pace.
''Cough, let''s cut this off. The only reason I''m feeling like this is because my body is being healed at a terrifying pace. Why? Because of the Light Green Gruer Orb that I consumed. It is definitely an interesting skill but most importantly, it is a necessary skill. System, can you describe the skill to me?''
[Can''t do.]
''Alright, fine.'' Cackling his knuckles, he stood up from the ground.
The girl''s expression flinched when she saw him get uppletely fine.
"Was that your best?" Rewen chuckled, then dashed towards without any preparations.
At first, she was startled about the fat young man rushing towards her and went defensive but as he slowly approached, she realized that there were many ws in his movements. ''I have to try this'' With determination in her eyes, she threw a kick towards Rewen.
Seeing the kick approaching him, he knew that he couldn''t dodge. ''I don''t need to dodge.''
*Pah*
The girl''s feet hit his chest as thetter coughed out blood with wide eyes. However, he was still standing and had a thin grin on his face, provocatively looking at the girl.
"You still haven''t learned your lesson!" The girl was originally a bit sorry for him as she never wanted to lethally injure anyone but that lopsided grin was enough to make her change her original decision.
She again took a step forward.
*Pah*
This time, Rewen''s face was hit. His nose broke and blood rushed out from his nostrils but he was still standing.
''What is it with this guy?'' The girl was a bit frightened by him.
"What? Is this all?" Raising his head, Rewen sneered. His broken nose was already healed.
"You! Don''t get so cocky!" The girl pounced on him and started a barrage of attacks without any breaks.
*Pah*
*Pah*
*Pah*
After about ten seconds, she stopped. Her muscles started feeling sore but her heart was satisfied. The next second; that satisfaction crumbled when she saw the man whose face she should have destroyed was looking at her with a smile.
"What? Is that all?"
The girl''s face was filled with disbelief. "W-who are you?" She got up, her feet staggering and couldn''t stable her feet falling on her butt.
Rewen got up without any difficulty. His face was bloodied but there was no trace of injury. Walking towards the girl, he asked. "Who is the strongest among your group?"
The girl''s eyes gleamed with self-realization. ''I wasn''t worthy to fight him? That''s why he never fought me?''
If Rewen knew what she was thinking, he wouldn''t clear up this misunderstanding andugh. In fact, it wasn''t difficult for the girl to find out that he was merely using a Gruer Orb skill but that''s only on the condition that the other party is clear-headed and has a working brain.
"Princess Ayame." The girl said after a few seconds.
"Ayame, huh? Well, bring her to me." Rewen said in amanding tone.
Surprisingly, the girl got up and walked away without saying any words.
The corner of his lips lifted up. ''Let''s how much weight I have lost.'' He jumped a little.
''This is really effective.''
The Gruer Orb skill isn''t a skill which just heals whenever somebody hits him. It utilizes the fats in his body to heal the wounds. In other words, this is a skill made for overweight people. Thinking till this point, Rewen bitterly sighed. ''I don''t understand how this works. Forget it; science can go to hell in this world.''
***
"Did you find out who did this?" Ayame asked, looking at the unconscious girl. She was the same girl who fought Rewen.
Mari, who was beside her, exined. "No. When she came back to the camp, she was already shaking. Seeing her condition, we didn''t hastily ask her what happened. Later, she came to you and"
"When will she wake up?"
"I''m estimating around an hour?"
"Around an hour?" Ayame felt as if she had heard something wrong.
"Princess, she is in a very sensitive condition. From the looks of it, the person who did this is a skilled and frightening person." Mari deduced. It was unknown what kind of face she would have when she sees the ''skilled and frightening person''.
"Certainly. We can''t take the risk." Ayame deeply thought about the matter. "Mari, send Reza to see the appearance of the person. Remember to tell her to not engage in physicalbat. She is very unstable so make sure to tell her thrice that she isn''t allowed to engage physically with the person."
Ayame was extremely clear about what sort of person Reza is. Furthermore, she also knows the appearance of everyone who participated in the event.
''First step to trap your enemy; know your enemy.''
***
"What? I have to go" When Reza was informed of her mission, she didn''t look dissatisfied with the task. Rather, her expression was that of tion and joy.
''Finally, I can show how strong and capable I am.''
Mari frowned upon seeing her friend''s overexcitement and decided to remind her once again. "You aren''t allowed to engage physically with the person. Look for him at a distance ande back. That''s it. That''s all you need to do."
"Hm! I understand." Reza nodded her head with a smile. "Should I go right now?"
"Yes, you may leave now. Be careful."
***
Rewen sat on top of the tree. His eyes constantly moved from left to right. ''Did she even tell her group? Why aren''t the others alreadying?'' He was in a tough spot.
Gruer Orbs aren''t avable like vegetables. To find them, one needs to search for it.
''What do I do? Search the whole Forest of Michaile? Yeah, right. In order to get hold of the Gruer Orbs, I needed to have a group of my own who would do the searching along with me and I don''t exactly have the capabilities to do that at the moment.''

Alter Points: 51
---
The Alter Points didn''t increase by a single point. ''The only way I could increase this is by getting involved with the Alliances who would not let me go if they see me. I could very well get involved with the Alliance Hase is part of but will getting involved with that particr group really increase my Alter Points? Debatable. Also, once I get involved with the group, I can''t switch groups which could potentially cut off my supply of Alter Points.
Therefore, the only way I could get Alter Points is by staying close to either Princess Ayame''s Alliance or the Misceneous Alliance. I can''t ignore either of them because it could get me Alter PointsI obviously don''t have the qualifications to be an ally to either of them so I could only be an enemy to both of the Alliance but the question is, can I do it?'' Rewen pondered about the matter for a long time.
