((Note: This will be the last chapter before I moved from my old apartment building. Let's do this.))

Khiry POV

I was looking through my assassin skills to find out that my Presence Concealment is now C.

Presence Concealment: C. This allows you to go undetected while spying or ambush a target. The time required: 25 minutes for no fighting.

I then check on my other assassin to see that their AP level did grow. I get out my system to see Naofumi adding a porcupine's quill into his shield.

Me(Mind): I haven't checked my two daggers since the dog battle. Let alone customize my Noble Phantasm.

Raphtalia: Atalanta-sama!

I then see Atalanta ready her arrow as the porcupine jump towards her, causing Atalanta to launch her arrow into the porcupine's chest, knocking him back as Raphtalia jump & slice the porcupine downward, killing them as not only those two gain exp., but also the rest of us. I then check the time we have & it's less than 48 hours. I look at my friend & his companion to decided to upgrade their gear.

((Note: Sorry, couldn't help it.))

Me: Hey, why don't we head back to the blacksmith so I can tell you why am I here?

Naofumi: Oh yeah. Is that the reason?

Me: That & you guys need upgradable gear.

No POV

After everyone is at the blacksmith's shop, Khiry then tells him how & why is he here(while leaving the queen & Merlin out of the conversation as well as the futuristic visions).

Enhard: Wow. I've never would have expected servants to help face the waves. By the way, my name's Enhard.

Khiry: I'm Khiry. This here is Mordred, Astolfo, & Atalanta.

Mordred: Yo

Astolfo: Hello.

Atalanta: Nice to meet you.

Enhard then turn to Raphtalia.

Enhard: Still, I hardly recognize you! You've turned into a real pretty lady.  I haven't seen you in a while. What've you been up to?

Raphtalia: I had the innkeeper teach me table manners. I want to eat my food properly as Naofumi-sama does. 

Enhard: That so? You've grown so much. Nothing like the pipsqueak you used to be.

Raphtalia then pouts cutely as Khiry & Naofumi look at her.

Naofumi: You think?

Khiry: I feel like I just miss that. 

Naofumi: You're actually surprised as well?

Khiry: Yeah.

Naofumi: This country is full of lolicons.

Khiry raises his right eyebrow in conflict with what he has said. Naofumi looks at him as he knows what he is thinking.

Naofumi: No.

Khiry: Visual said otherwise.

Naofumi: She's 16.

Enhard: Say, kids. Don't you know what demi-humans are like?

Raphtalia: Boss Forget that!

Khiry: Eh?!

Raphtalia: We're here to buy armor for Naofumi-sama & Khiry-sama! Do you have any recommendations?

Khiry: I'm actually ok with the clothing that I got on.

Raphtalia: Khiry-sama, you can't-- Huh?

Naofumi & Enhard then look where Raphtalia is looking to see Khiry is gone.

Enhard: Did the kid left?

Khiry: No. I'm still here.

Raphtalia: Where?

Khiry: Oh, Presence Concealment just activated. Hold on... "Caster."

Khiry then changes from his Assassin class to Caster class, causing him to be visible.

Khiry: Much better. 

Enhard: Well, look at you!

Khiry: Surprised? This class is more focused on support with powerful spells, by changing the landscape to be more favorable magic or create magical items.

Naofumi: I see. Have you tested it out yet? 

Khiry: Not really, which is why I want to learn from you, Naofumi.

Naofumi: Well, I can make medicines. I don't know how to make healing potions.

Khiry: Hmm...

Khiry looks at his level as it is Level 21, then checks his Alchemist recipes to see that he got a lot of them.

Khiry: Wow. I can make a lot of stuff like Outdoor Furnishing & others.

Naofumi: What about Medicine?

Khiry: I got a few here. The latest medicine I can make is Weak Sleeping Potions.

Raphtalia: What do they do?

Khiry: Puts a target to sleep for 20 seconds.

Naofumi is surprised to hear that.

Naofumi: Make some. 

Khiry: Huh?

Naofumi: I believe if you can craft medicines, not only I can craft them using your recipes, but also sell them for a profit.

Khiry: I'll get a cut of the hall, right?

Naofumi: You'll get an equal share.

Khiry then looks at his group. 

Khiry: Look. I will check the dungeon Naofumi was in to see if I can get some water shards.

Astolfo: Hey, do you want us to come with you?

A vision of a woman made entirely out of water pop up in his head. Then another one is a skeleton that can control the wind. Khiry looks at them.

Khiry: No need. I can take care of myself. I'll be back.

Raphtalia: Be careful, Khiry-sama.

Khiry then decided to leave...

Atalanta: Khiry...

Khiry looked at Atalanta.

Atalanta: I'm joining you on this mission.

Khiry: Are you sure?

Atalanta: Yes. 

Khiry: Ok. Mordred, Astolfo, stay here with Naofumi. We are going.

Astolfo: Yessir!

Mordred: Good luck, Partner.

Khiry then nodded as he & Atalanta then went out & then quickly ran to the dungeon. They made it in a couple of minutes & stop in front of the entrance to the cave.

Atalanta: Khiry. you had a vision, haven't you?

Khiry: Yeah. A woman... made entirely out of water. The place... was here. We need to be on guard. in case this woman attack.

Atalanta: Right.

Khiry & Atalanta then head into the cave as they then see nothing in the water...... yet, as there is something coming out as the water forms & risen. Khiry & Atalanta then started to look up to see a giant woman, made entirely out of water. She then looks at us. Her level is 5+, higher than ours. 

Khiry: That's her.

As the woman raises her fist, she slams it down as both Khiry & Atalanta dodge out the way. Atalanta then shoots two of her arrows at her, damaging her.

Atalanta: My arrow hurt it. 

Khiry: Ok. Let me try this. 

Khiry then brings his tomes out & hold his hand towards the water.

Khiry: Elthunder!

Khiry then launched a thunder attack at the woman, which is super effective. The woman's health is dangerously low. As the woman look at us, Atalanta then readies her bow, only for the woman to hold up her hands, signing that she surrender. Khiry & Atalanta then stares at the woman, then at each other, then back at the woman.

Khiry: She is... Tamed.

The woman went into a bowing position.

Atalanta: I wasn't expecting that.

Khiry: Neither did I.

The woman then looks at Khiry.

Atalanta: I think she wants you to give a command.

Khiry: Oh. Um... Can you find Water Shards, Jellyfish Cnida, & Jellyfish Humors?

Another woman came & actually brought the stuff I asked for. Another came & brought me an aqua crystal. I then change into my assassin class, grab the crystal & absorb it in my dagger, causing it to change into a different dagger.

Name: Echoing Origins

Element: Water

Capabilities: Users can create, shape, and manipulate water, inorganic compounds with liquid, gas (steam, water vapor), and solid (ice) states, including changing them from one state to others. More Skilled and powerful users can use water-related weather such as blizzards and rainstorms.

Limitations: Water Immunity

Water Absorption

Water Negation

Distance, mass, precision, etc. depend upon the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user, and their power's natural limits.

Controlling and manipulating great bodies of water (ponds, lakes, seas, oceans) over an excessive period of time is exhausting.

Susceptible to Electricity Manipulation.

Can be opposed by Fire Manipulation, Magma Manipulation, or Ice Manipulation.

Users of Sand Manipulation can use silicate particles to absorb the moisture from water. 

May be unable to create water, being limited to manipulating only from already existing sources.

It May not be effective against Oil Manipulation since oil is hydrophobic, meaning repelled from water.

Khiry: A water dagger. Cool. Now. we need is to make Quicksilver.

The first woman then points to the cave. She & the others form together & then ended up being in my dagger. Atalanta then looks to see a bunch of Cinnabars. At the end is a treasure chest.

Atalanta: Khiry, there is a treasure chest at the end.

Khiry then looks at it to see it is a real treasure chest. They both then walk to the end. Khiry then sees a lock, then use Echoing Origins to shape a key. He unlocked it, open the chest, picks up some leather gloves.

Atalanta: Leather gloves?

Khiry: Magic Leather gloves. They can use any element at my disposition & gave me a dive kick move. Hey, let's head back. Naofumi & the others are probably worried about us.

Atalanta: Right!

((DONE! KHIRY FOUND A NEW DAGGER ALONG WITH A NEW SET OF LEATHER GLOVES. WHEN IS THE NEXT WAVE? WHERE IS THE SKELETON AT? UNTIL THEN, STAY SHOCKING!))
