Chapter 5: Cooking and skills

I regretted my decision to do all the swords at once... I could just a bit into debt to make the materials. But it wasn't worth this agony I was feeling right now. Seriously... I don't think I could even walk to the cafeteria for breakfast. 

Well, I should at least check my stats since they were my lifeline to passing. 

"Status," I said sitting up. 

Name: Y/n L/n
Level: 7
Title: Player
Job class: Squire
Hp: 170
Mp: 134
Strength: 17
Endurance:15
Intelligence: 17
Wisdom: 12
Will: 12
Points available: 0
Skills: Aura Manifestation F Level 4, Aura Manipulation F level 3, Aura strengthening F level 3, Crafting skill D level 22, Heat resistance F Level 4, Martial Arts F+ level 5, Physical pain F+ resistance level 5, Swordsmanship E+ Level 18

Oh. So heat resistance leveled up as well. That was useful. Still, I was worried about being only level 7. I'd have to find more of those quests to try and level up. I probably wasn't even that far off. 

So it would be best to try and search the academy with the free day I had. Thank the gods I had it when my arms were so sore. 

But the growling of my stomach grabbed my attention first. I guess I had to get up and make myself something to eat... I think I might have some SPAM and eggs. I should fry those up. 

[New quest has been issued!] 
Cook! 
Objective: Make player's breakfast
Rewards: F rank recovery  potion, 300 exp
Failure: Starvation. 

[This quest is not optional.]

Okay... A few things. I didn't think I was hungry enough to starve. And second off. What the hell was a recovery potion? I sure as heck never heard about it before. Was it something that would help with my status as a player? And some quests I had to accept. 

So with the incentive to get a new item and not starve to death, I got up despite how my arms screamed at me to stop. 

I grabbed the can of unopened SPAM and a few eggs from the fridge. Luckily before I moved out of my parent's place my mom had made sure I had anything I would need to cook. So I grabbed a fork along with a glass bowl. 

I broke the eggs one by one before I saw a screen pop up. 

[Due to the player's efforts the cooking skill has been crafted.]

... Seriously? Did I get a skill for cooking? Well, I guess that was good at least. Just another reason to keep going. 

So I used the fork to break the yolks and began to whisk them slowly. 

[Cooking skill has leveled up! Cooking skill is now level 2.]

[Cooking skill has ranked up! Cooking skill is now rank F.]

... Well, I had an idea why this leveled up so fast. Ruby was skilled at aura manipulation, right? Did I have a talent for the cooking skill? 

I mean... I'd prefer swordsmanship. But maybe the job class would make up for that. So I decided not to whine and just kept going. 

I grabbed a knife and a fork opening up the can of spam before smacking the bottom of the can until it finally got onto the plate. I then diced it into small pieces so it would cook alongside the eggs. 

[Cooking skill has leveled up! Cooking skill is now level 3.]

Yep. I was going to go on autopilot now. My arms were hurting but at least this wasn't anything that bad. So I just kept going before grabbing a pan and using some butter to make sure it was ready.
