Reminder [lilly speaking] (Yuri speaking to Lilly)
After leaving the guild following closely behind Hephaestus. Yuri seemed to be lost in thought but in reality she was having a conversation with Lilly.
[ hidden quest: Join a famillia complete
Famillia joined Hephaestus
Rewards gained: beginner smithing pack
Plus's 10 free points for stat allocation
25 system points or sp]
( so thesepoints for stat allocation what are they exactly)
[ these points are like points when leveling in certain rpg. They are blank status points to upgrade your stats in any way you prefer. If you think you need higher strength you can use them to increase strength stat or dexterity or so on. However once they are used you cannot get those points back to place in another stat. So you would have to find a way to get more].
( And I am assuming that the sp is for the system store so can I open the smith pack)
[ pack open received anvil hammer iron ingots x5 steel ingots x5 beginners guide to smithing
Skill metallurgy]
(This should be really helpful thank you Lilly)
[Would host like to learn skills metallurgy and fairy smith? It is recommended to learn before receiving Falna.]
(Is there anything I would need to do in order for me to learn them)
[ no but I must warn host that you will feel a slight discomfort during the process.]
As yuri gave the system the go ahead to learn her new skills a pressure appeared. Like the start of a migraine. In the process yuri couldn't help but to wince slightly. This did not go unnoticed by Hephaestus who had been keeping a eye on her new famillia member.
Worried she asked yuri if she was alright? Yuri happy for the care that Hephaestus was showing gave her a lite smile and confirmed it was just a small headache. Hephaestus hearing her response nodded her head as she continued to lead her.
After about forty minutes they arrived outside of a Japanese style home. Yuri looking at Hephaestus for a explanation of what they were doing here didn't have to wait long.
With a slight smile Hephaestus explained that this was the home and workshop of the head or captain of her famillia Tsubaki Collbrande.
This is where yuri would be staying for the time being.
As they approached the door it suddenly sprang open before they could even knock. On the other side Tsubaki stood there with a smile inviting them inside. Once in the entryway she closed the door and introductions were made.
Hephaestus then asked if there was a private room in which she could use to give yuri her Falna. After leading her guests through the house to a room in the back.
Tsubaki: this will be the room that yuri will be staying in for the time being. My room is at the end of the hall and the room between is my workshop.
Thanking Tsubaki for her hospitality yuri and Hephaestus entered the room. As the door closed yuri began to feel nervous as she realized that she was about to have to remove her shirt. When she heard Hephaestus Al for its removal she timidly asked if Hephaestus wouldn't mind turning her back for a moment.
With a teasing smirk Hephaestus turned around. After around fifteen seconds passed when she heard yuri give permission to turn back. As she faced yuri again she noticed yuri sitting in the corner back facing her while she held her shirt to her front.
Hephaestus approached her and kneeling behind yuri. She couldn't help but notice how smooth and unblemished her skin was. Pushing those thoughts into the back of her mind she with practiced ease pricked her finger and began inscribing her symbol that would grant her Falna into yuri's back.
After around five minutes wich to yuri seemed like forever. Hephaestus pulled a paper from one of her pockets to transfer her Falna onto the paper. When she finished she gave yuri a moment to return her clothes to her dressed state.
Handing the paper to yuri she gave her a smile as she told her that her status was actually really good for someone who just got a Falna.
And she even has a rare skill to boot

After looking over the sheet she brought her attention back to Hephaestus and with a smile she handed the paper back to her. After giving the paper back she looked down and had a slight blush while she had the faintest hint of a smile.
After taking the sheet containing the Falna back from yuri Hephaestus broke the silence. Well it looks like you may have joined the right famillia after all. Seems like you may just have a talent for forging and crafting in general.
Hearing the compliment yuri's ears had even started showing a red hue. But then yuri heard Hephaestus ask her if she has ever tried to craft something before. Hearing this question brought her mood down as she could only shake her head no.
She did state she has made little toys and clay dolls in the past but has never made anything impressive. Hearing this Hephaestus decided it was time to reunite with Tsubaki. Leaving the room she walked down the hall and knocked on her door. A few seconds later the door opened and Tsubaki asked if they were finished.
Receiving a nod Hephaestus stated that yuri may actually hav a talent for smithing in the future with a bit of practice. This made Tsubaki look at her in a slightly better light. After conversing for about a half hour it was time for Hephaestus to leave.
After saying there goodbyes she was about to walk away. But before she took a step she turned back and told Tsubaki it may be a good idea to take yuri to the dungeon to test her skills in fighting in the morning. Getting a nod she turned and headed back towards her own workshop.
After Tsubaki returned she offered yuri a meal consisting of rice and a vegetable soup before advising her to go rest for the night. Taking her words as law as she was new to all this yuri returned to her room to sleep.
When morning arrived yuri was woken up by Tsubaki slamming the door to the room open. Jumping up with a start Tsubaki let out a laugh at her expense. After confirming that yuri had no real experience fighting. She packed up a few different weapons for her to try and they headed to the tower to enter the dungeon.
After they arrived yuri was led into the entrance of the dungeon which to her just seemed like a pit into the darkness. After a few minutes of decent that arrived at the first floor of the dungeon. Before stepping out onto the first floor Tsubaki handed her a dagger to try out. And explained that this floor contained mostly goblins but had a chance of spawning a cobold. And the also only on rare experiences even a jack bird could spawn.
With explanations out of the way yuri stepped onto the floor and immediately cracks started forming on the dungeon wall a short distance ahead. Out of the crack two small green figures stepped out..
Tsubaki commented it looks like goblins first. She told yuri to do her best and if it looked like she would be in danger she would step in to help. Giving a nod in response yuri started moving in the direction of the goblins who currently had their backs to her.
[Quest initiated: first blood

Difficulty c
Rewords 10 sp and minor health potion x 2
Conditions for success defeat at least one of the two goblins.

Seeing the mission given by the system she focused all her thoughts on the enemy's in front of her. Tsubaki seeing the complete focus on yuri's face nodded her head in approval. She has seen many promising new recruits injured due to not taking the first floor of the dungeon seriously.
Yuri finally came up just behind the goblins. She lifted the dagger to stab at the first one but right as she was about to strike. It seemed like it sensed her as it turned around and her attack saw the dagger sink into the goblins shoulder.
Before she could bring the dagger back she was forced to release it as the second goblin tried to punch her.
Seeing how things were playing out Tsubaki put a hand on her sword in case she needed to intervene. But to her surprise as the goblins attack missed yuri was able to grab hold of its arm and with a twist used it's own momentum to throw it to the ground a few feet away. In yuri's mind this fight was just getting started.
