--------------------------------------------------------

Traveling by sea was boring, especially if you were alone.

Luckily, Ron wasn't alone. Together with a girl, even if it is a casual conversation, you can pass the time.

Quite a long journey, due to the completion of the salted fish achievement, Ron does not have the opportunity to practice, so he communicated with Us more than usual, they exchanged their stories.

Ron used the real past to create a story corresponding to this world.

Nami on the contrary, speaking about the past, invented most of the important facts. But Ron knew the whole truth. As soon as Nami started the story, Ron started hitting all the inconsistencies and errors. Finally, the helpless Nami fully revealed the truth about Arlong and Kokoyashi.

"...now you know how it was.".

Ron, as if expecting this, said with a smile: "I also know some things about Arlong, it's strange to see a person join them, and the story of Kokoyashi village. When I suggested killing Arlong, your reaction confirmed my guess."

Nami said in a dejected tone, " Humans can't defeat a monster like fishman. Save Kokoyashi? This is only possible if the agreement is fulfilled..."

"What if Arlong doesn't honor the agreement?"

Ron said in a muffled voice.

I haven't brought this up before. This is due to the fact that he was not even considered a formal companion by Us. Now, after a series of events, there is no need to shy away from this topic.

Nami raised her head and looked firmly at Ron: "That's not true, Arlong is very strict in its rules, the agreement will definitely be fulfilled..."

The first half of the sentence was firm, but towards the end, although still loud, the confidence in the voice gradually disappeared.

Ron paused for a couple of seconds and didn't argue with Us about it: "I'll help you, I'll help you collect 100,000,000 Belli, save your village in the surest way."

"But if Arlong is as I expect...If he doesn't honor the agreement, then I will continue to help you...I will help you kill Arlong!"

Nami lowered her head and bit her lip, her body trembling slightly, and after a while, a soft voice sounded.

"Thank you..."

"Don't thank me.".

Ron smiled: "You saved my life. Okay, stomach's empty, it's time for a snack."

"Yes.".

Nami nodded and stood up.

After some effort, finally unearthing Nami's secret, Ron was in a good mood and tried teaching her wind magic. The result was failure.

Not that the spirit was too weak. That's not the point. Even if Nami successfully creates a magic array in his mind, nothing happens.

Ron thought about it and quickly found the reason.

The imprint of the Magic Law.

The Magic Law imprint in the profession interface, this should be one of the keys to magic. Without this imprint, even if you perfectly repeat all of Ron's actions, you will not be able to use magic.

It was not possible to teach Nami magic, it makes him a little helpless, but the evening came and finally the achievement of the salted fish was completed.

After receiving 1 OD, Ron immediately started practicing.

The purpose of this practice is naturally to study wind magic in depth. To begin with, just practice a little in the wind blade.

His spiritual power had increased significantly, so after a short practice in the wind blade, his caste speed was even less than a second.

Reduce the speed to such an extent that further reduction is irrelevant to the skill. Skill in the use of this rune is already complete, for further acceleration, you can only raise the characteristic of the spirit.

Now with a spirit characteristic of 22 units, Ron has a base for learning derived runes, so he continued to further delve into wind magic.

"A perfect combination of three runes, capable of forming 2nd-order magic. What will the combination of the two runes lead to?".

Ron thought about it and decided to give it a try.

Due to the fact that he was extremely adept at using the main rune, there was nothing difficult about forming two identical runes at once. The difficulty is how exactly to combine them.

Which lines should be connected, which lines should be changed. These are the most important questions.

Two points of light are formed in the spirit world, numerous lines are drawn out at high speed and will connect in the center.

The real world.

Blow!

The air ahead of them swirled violently, forming a vortex that sent Ron's body straight into the sea.

  [Hint: You have received an achievement (unexpected fall into the sea), the reward is 1 OD]

Ron launched into the sea was covered by a wave, the signal received from the system made his heart exclaim.

I will not yield to this wave!

Ron surfaced, added OD to the spirit, and swam to the boat. My heart calmed down, not far away.

Nami heard movement on the boat and watched Ron's black face rise, " ...what are you doing here?"

"kha kha, learning magic, something went wrong. There's no reason to worry.

Ron spat out the water, smiled at Nami, and went aft.

Nami gave Ron a strange look as he left and shook his head. While observing the weather, another knock was heard.

A couple of planks broke in the stern and Ron's figure flew into the sea.

"No need to worry about anything!!".

Ron quickly came back and coughed and said to Nami, " It was an accident, don't worry, it's fine, nothing really happened."

With that, Ron returned to the stern.

A few seconds later, another knock. This time, the ship was not damaged, instead, the sea scattered spray in all directions. But Ron went flying again anyway.

Thirty seconds later, Ron was back. The expression on his face is agitated. Without a word to Nami, he went aft again.

And then....

Blow!

He flew again.

Seeing this scene, Nami was silent for a long time. Then, a not very pleasant feeling flashed in his heart.... this guy shouldn't have any strange tendencies, should he!?

Ron, of course, had no idea that Nami had labeled him a "masochist" in her mind. He's really excited right now. Due to a recurring accidental fall into the sea, another achievement will soon be completed.

An unexpected fall in the sea is associated with two achievements, the first "unexpected fall in the sea" and the second "unlucky person", for the second achievement you need to accidentally fall into the sea ten times.

And yet, although the failures continued, but step by step, Ron began to understand the process. Out of the thick fog, the correct path of merging runes is gradually beginning to be seen
