Three hours later, Takeru and the others returned to Alterna, carrying a large amount of loot. First, they went to sell some weapons, then used the proof of Dead Spot to exchange for thirty gold coins, and finally sold the accessories.
Takeru still remembered Britney's incredulous expression. It took several confirmations and the sight of Dead Spot's greatsword lying before him before he had no choice but to accept the fact that Takeru and the others had killed Dead Spot...
After killing Dead Spot, Takeru and the others also conveniently completed all the kill quests.
After that, it was about improving their own ratings based on their abilities, and Takeru also set his sights on the other Transmigrators who appeared in the same batch.
If his guess was correct, among them there should be a protagonist. Whether it was the Team Renji who quickly adapted to this world, the moderately performing Team Tokimune, or the underperforming Team Manato, Takeru was also uncertain.
However, compared to Renji and Tokimune and the others, the Team Manato was the easiest for Takeru to influence. After all, they couldn't even afford food before, and with Takeru's help, they were naturally willing to accept.
As for Renji and Tokimune's sides, although they were still fighting goblins, their development was relatively smooth. Takeru only got to know them a little...
Since it was difficult to get involved with Hasuki and Managi, Takeru had no choice but to kill more goblins and kobolds, and use this time to constantly train his own abilities.
After all, apart from the rewards from the Reincarnation Space, self-training was the best way to improve strength.
Moreover, Takeru's aptitude wasn't poor, and training for one day could match several days for an ordinary person.
Influenced by Takeru, Yui and the others also became motivated to work hard. Even Shihoru, who wasn't a Reincarnator, worked hard to improve herself in order not to hold Takeru and the others back.
Reminded by Takeru, the four also used the guild to continuously learn skills.
After all, compared to skills from the Reincarnation Space which required points and evaluations to exchange, the skills here only required silver or gold coins, and Takeru and the others weren't short on gold coins.
At the same time, Takeru intentionally collected some good equipment, planning to materialize them when returning to the Reincarnation Space.
Time passed in everyone's busyness for over ten days. After more than ten days of effort, everyone's strength had greatly improved.
Sitting in the residence, Takeru opened his attribute panel...

Since Takeru didn't need too much defense for now, his current equipment was the Advanced Priest Set.
Unlike rings and bracelets, only one necklace could be equipped, so Takeru chose the Wolf Necklace with higher attribute bonuses.
In terms of skills, compared to Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and similar skills, the skills from this world were much easier for Takeru to improve.
For example, just by constantly using them, proficiency would increase. Of course, to improve quickly, apart from more practice, careful comprehension was also necessary.
Of course, although Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and the Rokushiki were still only at the beginner level, they had made huge progress compared to before. For instance, Armament Haki not only had improved hardness but also coverage range and speed had increased by a level compared to before.
Observation Haki was similar. Under Takeru's full use, the detection range could reach about one hundred meters around.
However, when extending the perception range to one hundred meters, the perception power would decrease.
But it was still quite convenient for finding people. Ten meters was currently Takeru's optimal usage range.
Within this range, Observation Haki's perception of attacks, prediction of the opponent's next move, perception of a creature's strength, perception of a creature's emotions and thoughts, perception of the position and quantity of objects outside the visual field, etc., could all reach their strongest state.
As for further extending the perception range, although possible, the speed would decrease.
For training, Takeru would often maintain a 20-meter perception range. Constantly receiving so much information was also a considerable burden on Takeru's brain. Fortunately, his Spirit attribute wasn't low, so Takeru could bear it.
Among the Rokushiki, Tekkai and Soru were what Takeru trained most proficiently, followed by Rankyaku and Geppo. Kami-e and Shigan were slightly worse.
It wasn't that Takeru didn't want to train Kami-e, but even when surrounded by seven kobolds, Takeru couldn't really utilize Kami-e's ability because their attack speed was too slow compared to Takeru...
As for Shigan, Takeru already had quite a few attack skills. And for now, fists wrapped in Armament Haki weren't much worse than Shigan, so Takeru temporarily put Shigan aside.
Apart from his own strength, there was also the improvement of Yui and the others.
Although hard to determine, the strength of the four had also increased significantly compared to when they first entered this world.
They were also more proficient with their own skills. Most importantly, through constant fighting, everyone's practical combat experience had greatly improved.
Finally, there was Team Manato. Under Takeru's training, each could single-handedly fight two relatively elite goblins. Combined, their strength was very strong.
Compared to ten days ago, it could be said they were completely reborn. Therefore, all five were deeply grateful to Takeru.
And yesterday, Takeru gave them a bottle of Life Recovery Potion and a Mana Recovery Potion each, instructing them to use it only in the most critical situations.
Because for the subsequent journey, Takeru could no longer accompany them. Takeru had even gotten Shihoru to join Teram Manato.
Although both Shihoru and Manato were priests, neither was weak.
And Manato, through continuous battles, had almost taken on the role of a vanguard.
Having one more priest, although combat power was slightly reduced, since both could heal, would slightly increasing survival rates.
Facing Takeru's decision, although Shihoru was reluctant, she didn't refuse.
With tears in her eyes, she thanked Takeru. Seeing this, Takeru was also somewhat emotional and could only pat her head to comfort her.
Yui and Ui were also reluctant. Even Mio and Tsumugi, who had resolved to keep their distance from the beginning, were silently shedding tears.
Through constant fighting side by side, their friendship had long become very solid. But Takeru and the others would eventually have to return to the Reincarnation Space.
Rather than a long pain, it was better to have a short one, so Takeru chose this time to part ways.
Because the place Takeru and the others were going to next was also very dangerous… of course, that was for Shihoru and Manato and the others.
As for Yui and the others, although there would still be considerable burden, the upcoming journey could greatly improve everyone's rating in this world.
Takeru and the others' next target was the Deadhead Watching Keep occupied by half-orcs. This information was also obtained by Takeru from Britney.
According to Britney's description, half-orcs are an ugly race.
Their skin is green, noses flat, ears small and pointed, with gaping mouths full of teeth; slightly taller than humans, broad-shouldered, and often thicker in body than they are tall.
Half-orcs are accustomed to dyeing their hair various colors. Those who want to attract attention or show off their strength particularly like to dye it in dazzling, brilliant colors. Additionally, half-orcs also love to adorn themselves.
Their intelligence is not low. Although somewhat rude, they are largely no different from humans.
However, half-orcs love to fight. Even within their own race, they often fight incessantly, even to the point of shedding blood...
Their cultural level is not much different from humans', and the variety of items they wear is vast.
The city of Ortana has already begun preparations to recapture the Deadhead Watching Keep occupied by half-orcs, hence this mission.
