"You failed brat!" Gazor holds down the injured Robin in his throat. He saw as the village was on blazes and all the villagers died. "Why did you fail Robin!" A familiar voice was heard behind him and when he looked, he saw as the dead Nathalie curses him."I"m sorry... I"m" Afraid, he begged for forgiveness for the dead villagers. The dead Nathalie then grabbed Robin"s feet when a hold started to appear from beneath, "If we die, you will die with us!" shouted the dead villagers as Robin was dragged to the depths of h.e.l.l.
...
"No... please don"t!" Robin suddenly woke up as his body aches and covered in bandages, "It was all... a dream." Robin was relieved. Then he remembered about the fight and hurried outside.
With his bandages on his body, he barely made it outside only to find a peaceful village, "W-what happened to Gazor?" he muttered to himself. He checked the sorrounding and saw Nathalie hurrying over, "Robin, you shouldn"t walk yet!" she shouted, "I should"ve stayed over with you." she continued.
Robin held Nathalie"s shoulder and Nathalie suddenly blushed, "Gazor, what happened to Gazor?" Robin asked with a worried face. Nathalie told, "He"s gone now." she answered with a smile and Robin was surely relieved.
"You should just get some rest and stop worrying!" Nathalie then pushed Robin back to the inn.
{A Day Later}
Robin is finally healed and got stronger thanks to levelling up. Doing his daily routine, he went for a bath, wore clothes and ate breakfast. He was called by the village elder knowing that he was already healed and went.
Walking down the village, people praised him and gave thanks to him. Especially the kids who went jumping to him, "Good moring Robin!" shouted the children. It made Robin really uneasy since he"s not used to it but it made him happy.
"Now... I wonder how my status is going." He muttered and opened his status screen.

Robin was shocked, "My Dagger arts leveled up three times! My Magic Manipulation and Water Magic Leveled up twice! That fight was such a treasure!" he muttered and celebrated with one of his victory pose for the villagers to see.
"Ehem.." he fixed himself and walked slowly, "My healing magic was really useless on the fight, there must be a way for me to heal without giving myself time." He thought.
"Oh yeah, where"s my dagger?" He suddenly remembered and panicked, he feared that it broke down again because of the fight. Remembering what happened, he saw Nathalie and pleaded help, "My dagger is gone!" Robin ran unto the shocked Nathalie.
She laughed, "No silly." She said and made Robin confused, "Weapons like yours are apart of you now. Just imagine that you are pulling them out like a sword being pulled of of its sheath." she advised and Robin followed.
"Imagine that you are pulling it off the sheath." Robin silently muttered and closed his eyes, pulling it off from the air in both of his sides, the daggers magically appeared from thin air. "It really appeared." Robin was surprised but he silently hid it, "Thank you Nathalie."
Nathalie"s face blushed and hid her face, "Y-your welcome, anyway, village elder is looking for you." she stuttered.
"Yeah..." Robin thought suspiciously, "I"ll be going now." Robin continued on his way to the village eleder"s house and imagining that he puts his dagger back to its sheath, the dagger disappeared, "It really did work." he muttered and finally arrived at the village elder"s house.
Robin was about to knock but he noticed that the door was open so he decided to go in, "h.e.l.lo?" he silently asked and went to the living room where he saw the village elder sitting and a small golden chest on the table, "Welcome, young Robin." Elder said.
"W-what is this?" Robin was puzzled and asked. He went closer and sat down opposite of the elder. The elder was staring at Robin for sometime and after a while, he stood up. He picked the chest and said, "When I was young, I once tried to conquer a labyrint but I failed and was gravely injured."
"What"s that gotta do with the chest?" Robin asked and the village elder opened the chest and there was a necklace with a weird key hanging, "The reason the labyrinth is still not conquered is because I have the key to the entrance." the village elder said.
"Looking at you fight with Gazor last time, I knew you would be able to conquer the labyrinth." The village elder continued and handed over the necklace. Grasping the key to the labyrinth, Robin smiled, "I will go elder!" he declared.
He stood up in a hurry and the village elder stopped him, "Do you even know where it is?" he asked.
"Ehh?"
...
After a while, the village elder told him where the labyrinth is and said, "Be careful, I"m suspecting the Land Bandits are trying to win the labyrinth over." he packed of his stuff and left the village. While walking away a shout was heard from the distance, "Wait, Robin!" Nathalie shouted.
Looking back, Nathalie caught up and was panting, "This is for you." She said and handed over a purple earring. Confused, Robin asked, "What is this for?" Robin then took the earring happily.
"In Anphir village, handing over a earring to someone is a sign of... love." She stopped for a moment and finally grasped to say it. She was blushing and his face are red all over, knowing that the beautiful Nathalie fell in love with him, he said, "I gladly accept." he said.
Robin also saw the other half of the purple earring on her left ear and smiled quietly. Robin wore the other earring on his right ear and held Nathalie, "I will come back because this dispute between me and the Land Bandits are not over." he faintly said with a serious face, "So wait for me, okay?" he said.
Nathalie teared up a little but she wiped it off, "Yeah."
Robin continued his way to the labyrinth with a sense of something to protect, "I will protect this village." he muttered as his purple eyes reacted to the sun. Leaving, he felt as the villagers said their goodbyes in the village and so is Nathalie.
