Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl? Chapter 156

"While we're still in Cairosa, I want you girls to level up as much as you can. Go challenge level 50 dungeons just by yourselves and when you can beat them solo, challenge level 55's as a team." Shiro said whilst sitting down on a chair.

They were currently at a café near Aarim's workshop and were just discussing what they were going to do.

"What about you?" Lyrica asked.

"Hehe, obviously I'll be shooting for level 50." Shiro ginned. If she became level 50 before meeting Nan Tian, she'll be able to use the pill straight away.

"Well I know that but what are you going to do in order to reach that level quickly?" Lyrica replied.

"What else would I do? If I can solo level 50 and 55 dungeons, the next option would obviously be level 60 dungeons." Shiro chuckled.

"Plus, I'm quite interested to see what the raids are like in this city." She added on. Due to the geography of the city, the raids in Cairosa feature naval combat.

While she wasn't a stranger to naval combat, she was quite curious about how people in this world fought on water.

"Heh~ I know that the raids in Cairosa are much more dangerous than the raids back in New York. Back then, we only did a low level dungeon were everyone was confident in what they were doing. However, with the limited movement on a boat, the danger factor of the raid jumps up exponentially." Silvia reminded them.

"Don't worry about that. As long as it's not underwater, my ice will be able to handle it." Shiro replied with a smile.

If they fought on top of water, Shiro would be able to create platforms on the water using her ice.

"True." Silvia nodded her head since Ice magic worked wonders in a situation like this.

"Great, but before that, there's a party being hosted by the New Yorkers. Wanna go?" Lyrica asked, showing them a picture of a poster that she had taken.

"Sure why not." Madison and Silvia were down for the party. As for Shiro, she wasn't too sure since there was no point in her going to begin with. She couldn't taste the food and there were no benefits in joining.

"I dunno. I feel like going to a dungeon would be a better use of my time, no?" Shiro shrugged her shoulders.

"Don't be such a workaholic and come with us." Madison chuckled and wrapped her hand around Shiro's shoulders.

"Hais… sure I guess." Shiro smiled wearily.

Making their way back to the camping sites, they could see people setting up for a large party. Lights were being hung up as food was being prepared in large quantities.

Naturally there were also drinks and stalls being set up. Overall, it was something akin to a huge festival.

Sitting on the biggest tree in the centre, Shiro watched as everyone did something to help. Of course, she was using her phantom path to make sure that no one could see her. She's wasn't avoiding the work at all. *Cough

Throwing another mana stone lollipop in her mouth, Shiro kept an eye on everyone.

Lyrica and Madison were helping with setting up games stalls for the kids while Silvia was assisting with setting up a first aid area. After all, in parties like this, there were bound to be people who got injured.

As for Kanae, she was enjoying her time with some kids. She would occasionally look around to try find Shiro but frowned when she wasn't there.

'I should probably make her a manual to practice Yin Style Martial Arts. I'll show her second and third phantom. They're relatively easy when compared to first and fourth phantom.' Shiro mused to herself.

Second and third phantom only needed one to have a great deal of flexibility along with body control. With someone like Kanae who was following her training guide, she should be able to match these requirements.

However, unlike the second and third phantom, the first and fourth needed more from the user. If used incorrectly, they would put the user in more dangers.

This was also one of the reasons that she didn't want to teach Lyrica and Madison before. Their body simply wasn't suited. But now that they've levelled up, their stats would compensate slightly for their lack of compatibility. While it wouldn't be a perfect recreation of the style, it would at least give them some small benefits rather than expose them to danger.

Pulling out a notepad and pen, Shiro tapped the pen on her chin for a short moment before she started to draw on the pad.

The speed of which she was drawing out the picture was incredible since it looked like she didn't even need to think whilst drawing.

It was an intricate step by step guide of everything that Fei Ling had taught her when she showed her the Yin Style Phantom arts.

How one should position their body with arrows to help show the position. A detailed drawing of a person that is in the pose and ways that one could train it. Since she was able to memorise everything within a day, Shiro didn't need to do all of the live training so Fei Ling hardly explained that section to her.

'They should be able to learn it with just the basics here.' Shiro thought to herself since this was the best that she could offer them.

Until they were able to control their body like her, she wasn't going to show them any more since there is only so much high stats could compensate for.

*Pa

Closing the notebook, Shiro wrote down the title of the martial arts.

[Yin Style Phantom Arts: second + third phantom.]

Nodding her head in satisfaction, Shiro flexed her fingers and made a printer. Placing her book inside one of the compartments, Shiro printed out 2 copies before disassembling it again.

Hopping off the tree, Shiro sneaked up behind Kanae and tapped her on the head.

"Ah!" Crying out in shock, Kanae quickly turned around and saw Shiro.

When the other kids saw her, they widened their eyes in shock seeing someone as pretty as Shiro.

"Shiro-nee!!" Kanae hugged Shiro and climbed onto her back.

"Having fun?" Shiro smiled.

"Yeah." Kanae nodded.

"I got a little present for you. You can't let other people see it no matter what ok? Only you can read this. Don't tell other people as well." Shiro warned and handed her the book.

However, she didn't need to worry about other people opening the book since she made it so that if anyone other than Kanae forces the book open, it would start shredding itself. As for how that worked, it was a combination of eye scanners and fingerprint scanners.

Kanae's eyes glistened in joy seeing Shiro hand her a present.

"Thank you." Kanae laughed and hugged Shiro's head.

Shiro only smiled before letting her down.

"Um… my name is Gil." A young boy said nervously walking up to Shiro.

"Hi Gil, my name is Shiro." Shiro replied with a soft chuckle.

Gil blushed harder seeing Shiro laugh and shyly reached out his hand.

"Can I shake your hand?" He asked.

"Sure, I don't see why not." Shiro nodded her head.

However, before she could shake hands, Kanae stepped between then and hugged Shiro's hand.

"No me first." She pouted and proceeded to shake her hand.  

Smiling softly, Shiro patted Kanae's head and shook hands with Gil.

"Play nice Kanae. I'm going to go look for Lyrica and Madison. See ya."

"See you later Shiro-nee." Kanae nodded and waved her hand.

Watching Shiro flicker away like a ghost, Gil looked down on his hand and grinned.

Meanwhile, Shiro found Lyrica and Madison resting by the side.

"Yo." Shiro grinned and appeared behind them.

The duo reacted instinctively, pulling out their weapons and slashed towards her immediately.

Pinching the swords with ease, Shiro flicked them back to the duo.

"Aiya, what if that was some bystander?" Shiro said with a grin.

"Bystander's don't feel like a boss." Lyrica rolled her eyes since the moment Shiro appeared behind them, their instincts were warning them of a strong presence.

Shiro only shrugged in response before pulling out two books.

"Remember how I said that I'll teach you girls my martial arts? Well in this book there's the second phantom and the third phantom. You two can learn them both but remember, if any part of your body starts to hurt excessively, stop and tell me." Shiro warned.

"Naturally, only you girls can read this and don't tell other people about it. Don't show them either." She continued.

"Got it." The duo nodded.

Shiro's martial art was definitely powerful and they knew that if word got out that they had the training manual, people would definitely be looking for them.

"Oh yeah Shiro. Where were you earlier? Why don't you help us se- eh? Where did she go?" Lyrica asked as she realised that Shiro was gone in a blink. Literally.

"Seems like Shiro doesn't like helping out with preparation." Madison chuckled lightly before sitting back down.

"Huh…"

The festival was in full swing once it hit 8pm. Songs were being blasted through speakers and people were socialising while having a banquet.

Naturally, there were areas for people to dance, play games, compete in beauty contests and the such.

There were prizes but most people were there just for fun. Their spirit was at an all time high.

Lyrica and Madison were having some fun doing the shooting games since it tested their reaction speed and accuracy. Silvia just tagged along for fun since she just enjoyed the atmosphere.

"Hey Silvi, why don't we try the strength test?" Lyrica asked, pointing at the punching bag with a point meter beside it.

"Eh~ I'll just watch. You girls can have fun." Silvia smiled lightly.

"Come on, have some fun with us." Madison insisted.

"Hmm… Fine, if you say so." Silvia said after a short pause.

Standing in front of the punching bag, Lyrica pulled her fist back and punched forwards with all her strength.

[64/100 points.]

"Not bad I suppose." Lyrica shrugged.

"Hehe, my turn." Madison said with a grin.

Standing in the same place Lyrica did, Madison opted for a crushing uppercut instead.

[81/100 points.]

"Yes!" Madison clenched her fist in joy.

"Now then Silvi, your turn." Lyrica urged Silvia with a smile.

Smiling wearily Silvia stood in front of the punching bag.

"I'll need some buffs since I'm not a fighter ok?" Silvia asked, glancing backwards.

"Go for it." Lyrica nodded her head.

Taking a deep breath, Silvia started to stack one buff after another onto her body.

"HORAHH!!!!!" She shouted out as her fist slammed into the bag. An air current blew past Lyrica and Madison, causing them to pause in shock.

[89/100 points.]

"How many buffs did you use?!" Lyrica asked with widened eyes. While neither her or Madison used buffs to get their strength up, the fact that Silvia could punch harder than them was still incredible.

"Haha, not too much. Only around 7." Silvia replied feeling a little embarrassed.

The duo didn't know what to say but Yuan Tian stepped forward.

"You also want a try?" Lyrica asked.

"I do wish to test a little theory of mine." Yuan Tian nodded.

"Go ahead."

Placing his palm against the bag, Yuan Tian narrowed his eyes before concentrating his strength into his palm.

*Bang!

[100/100 points.]

"Hou~ seems like there is indeed a little trick to it." Yuan Tian smiled slightly.

"How did you do that?!" Lyrica asked in amazement.

"Armour piercing is what I believe you would call it." Yuan Tian smiled.

After a certain level, all adventurers should have one or more ways to pierce armour. What he did was simply use the shortest path to transfer all the power into the device that sensed the shock. Not only that, he had also used less strength than Lyrica.

"Don't worry young miss, I will naturally teach you that." Yuan Tian chuckled seeing the eagerness on her face.

"Let's go meet up with Shiro now. Didn't she and Kanae go near the place where all the bars are?" Madison asked.

"Yeah they did, let's go."

Making their way over, they presumed that Shiro would be enjoy some games with Kanae but instead, she was competing in a drinking contest against quite a few people.

"Is that all you got boy?" Shiro grinned and chugged an entire jug of alcohol.

Meanwhile, the 'boy' was actually a 6ft 5 hulking mass of muscle that was sprawled out on the floor.

"And that's another resounding victory for Shiro!!!" The commentator shouted out in a mixture of excitement and dumbfoundedness.  

*WOOO!!!!!!!

The crowd cheered as they couldn't believe a little girl was beating all of their best drinkers back to back.

One would normally stop a child like her from drinking but she had provided them with her adventurer's ID that showed her age being 19.

"Hey, how much has she drunk now?" Lyrica asked.

"I think that's the 24th jug…" Someone replied in disbelief.

'How is she not bloated yet?!?!' Lyrica shouted out in her mind.

Sitting on the table and crossing her legs, Shiro grinned and looked down at all her victims.

"Anyone else?" She raised an eyebrow.

The reason as to why she even competed in this was because the reward was a giant toy bear that Kanae had wanted.

Normally, a woman would get her boyfriend to earn that bear but for her, it was Kanae getting her big sis to win the bear.

Seeing every competitor passed out, the commentator had to rub his eyes to make sure that he wasn't dreaming.

"The winner is Shiro!" He called out and had someone bring the giant toy bear over.

Letting Kanae hold the bear in her arms, Shiro grabbed one more jug and downed it before walking away.  

Looking at Shiro and Kanae, who was currently holding a bear bigger than her body, the crowd only shook their heads in disbelief. They had learnt that on top of her fearsome habit of targeting the ass, she also had a monstrous alcohol tolerance.
