Waking up from his training space Nero went to make breakfast, knowing that soon Aurathia would likely return from her morning training
"Yum, smells good, it seems that I'm not only training your mind but also your cooking skills and your time keeping skills since you were able to make this just for when I get back" Aurathia exclaimed as she came in through the door, placing a towel around her neck
"Either that or you're so predictable that I know what time you come back everyday even after only living with you for a few days" snickered Nero
"Hey don't call it predictable, call it commited" Aurathia puffed her cheeks out
"Well either way it works out well as it means I can make food for both of us at the same time, can you do the plates again"
"Sure, just let me wash up them we'll eat"
Sitting down to eat the food was soon finished and the plates were quickly washed before the duo made their way to the city walls to do their morning sparring session
"You're improving fast Nero, faster than I would have expected and it's rare for me to not be able to tell how fast a person should be able to improve, I'm guessing it's because of that skill of yours" Aurathia stated as she threw a punch
"I can at the very least tell you that you're right there" Nero huffed as he dodged the blow "as for the rest I'll tell you another day I swear" he said throwing a blow back
"You keep saying that and it makes me want to know even more" Aurathia replied catching his fist and pulling him close before tripping him over and then pinning him to the ground "consider this your punishment, now stay still so I can update your status"
"Ok I give I give you can update my status just let me move into a more comfortable position" Nero complained
"Alright I'll let you get comfortable" she giggled getting off of him and letting him sit up instead before starting to update his status "oh, your magic has increased, your skill again?"
"Yeah"
"Well I'll just be glad that it's helping you get stronger for now" Aurathia slapped his back, signaling that she was done
Looking at his new stats a grin showed up on Nero's face

"Thanks Aura, I'm off to the dungeon now, see you later"
"See you" Aurathia replied
Arriving at the dungeon Nero decided that today he was going to use his time in the dungeon to train his shinobi arts in order to improve his control, power and accuracy
"Right then, let's set a goal of being able to one shot an enemy before I move down a floor" he mumbled to himself as he made his way down to the first floor, quickly finding his first target a lone goblin
"Alright then, black ice" Nero shouted, a small ice shard appearing in front of him and shooting forward, impaling in the goblins leg
"Argh" roared the goblin in pain
"The power isn't bad but the accuracy could use some work, black ice take two" he stated, firing a slightly smaller shard which hit the goblin in the eye casuing it to once again scream out in pain and clutch its eye
"That one was the opposite, the accuracy was good but the power was to low, it couldn't even kill it when I hit it in the eye" Nero muttered "well practice makes perfect as they say" he smiled, his grin making him look like the devil to the goblin
A few goblins and an unfortunate kobold later Nero had become accurate enough to hit the point that he was aiming for 9 times out of ten even when he increased the power
"Shinobi arts really are better than normal magic" Nero commented as he decided to move down to the second floor "it uses my magic stat for the damage but relies more on my endurance combined with my magic stat to use them meaning I don't have to worry about mind down as much, it also means that my endurance stat will be increasing along with my magic" before placing his hand on his head "to bad it doesn;t completely get rid of the effects of using to much magic, I guess I should practice my normal moves for a while while I recover"
After deciding that Nero went down a few more floors to get more energy for his energy bar to be able to use the gacha again and get more expensive magic stones while also fighting stronger foes which would improve his control over his techniques before returning back to the second floor once his magic had returned, repeating the process and only stopping once his bag was full
"Being able to one shot anything above the 3rd floor is pretty good for my first day and I'm now able to shoot 2 at the same time and still get the kills" Nero nodded, happy with the progress that he had made that day "time to make my way out, but if any other monsters want to block me on my way out it would be such bad timing" Nero joked
As if hearing his mocking tone the dungeon spawned monsters all around him, but due to only being on the 3rd floor he wasn't worried
"Thanks for the energy, the money and the practice" Nero prayed sarcastically before charging at the monsters, dispatching them with ease.
