Takeshi Haruka POV:
Since it's morning time, I'll go get some breakfast and then start heading towards the Eastern side of Isvan.
10 minutes later-
I finished eating breakfast and returned my inn key since I won't be staying here, I was just outside the village gate, I pulled out my compass then looked towards where the North point indicator is pointing.
I looked at the direction of North, since I'm looking North to the right side of North is East I'll need to head at least 15 kilometers or more.
15 minutes later-
Man I just arrived the Eastern region of Isvan, I immediately pulled out the eastern region map of Isvan from my ShadowStorage.
(Shadow storage:The power to seal items into your shadow.)
Now where am I on the map.
???
I guess I'll search for a nearby village to understand my current location, the problem is that I don't know where to go to look for a village.
All I have been seeing so far has been trees , mountains, caves and small ponds it's like a village isn't anywhere in sight.
10 minutes later-
Just 3 kilometers to my right is a village, it's SouthEast from here.I placed a Leaping seal here.
(Leaping-Type of magic -Spatial Translocation(teleporting)
Hand Touch: The caster must firmly press the palm of their dominant hand onto a stable surface
Range- 10 kilometers.)
Now that I placed a leaping seal here I made my way over towards the front entrance of the village.
I was met with four different village guards, this was unusual unless something major happened.
Guard(1.):"Halt!"
Guards(3,4) take the approach to surround me to my left and right side while have their hand on the hilt of their swords.
Guard(2.) approaches me and then says.
Guard(2.):"What brings you here!"
The guard order with a slight bit of aggressive tone.
"I have a map of Eastern region of Isvan , and I don't know where I am, I wanted to use your village as a reference on the map."
I then replied to the guard (2.) in a tone meant to conduct nothing but business.
Guard(2.):"Let them through! A little warning before entering, the village is on high alert so expect some of are guardsman to detain you."
"I understand."
I said to the guard(2.) who gave the signal of allowing me in the village.
I looked over at a board sign then read the name and the information provided about it.
Shalecrest village-
Region:EasternregionofIsvan-
Location:Shalecrest village-
Shalecrest:village Perched on a rugged ridge, this settlement focuses on mining shale for construction, making it an essential trade hub.
This village focuses about trading resources to build homes and help build homes when requested.
I made my way over to a what I assume is a library.
I enter the building, I looked around the building until I found a front desk that was currently being unoccupied.
I was about to leave when I saw a librarian coming out of an office room.
I went up to the librarian then asked as I pulled out my map of Eastern region of Isvan.
"Where on the map are we located at?"
The librarian took a moment then pulled out a Lacrima then preceded to scan the map.
They then grabbed a marker then placed an X mark on the general area of the map.
"It's not quite there yet that's the closest to the location."
The librarian said.
"Thanks for your help."
I thanked the librarian as I made my way out the library.
I was outside of the library.
•rattle
•marching
The sound of village guards with armor and weapons running around.
One of the approach me slightly hostile.
"You! Wait right there!"
A guard stopped me in my tracks as I was walking towards another entrance of the village.
"I need to make a quick personal search!"
The guard said as he approached me then began to search me by patting my clothes and body in case of some sort of object there looking for.
"Clear! You may go."
I then walked towards another village entrance, since this entrance is in the direction of NorthEast.
However before I leave the village I went towards a tea shop to purchase a kettle , a pot and a pan for the PoisonBoxwood.
2,000-jewels for kettle
1,700-jewels for a pot
1,200-jewels for a pan
Total 🟰 (4,900 jewels)
Takeshi wallet before:(648,767 jewels)
Takeshi wallet now:(643,867 jewels)
10 minutes later-
I was roughly 7-8 kilometers away from Shalecrest village, I have been in a forest biome looking for PoisonBoxwood, I believe I have found it. It matches the general description of the bush.
(PoisonBoxwood- a poison like bush that can be found in both the Eastern and Western parts of Isvan,it's base color has a dark green color with dark brown stems. Rank-(A) it's the most dangerous poison located in Isvan.)
Now then time to pick out all of these bush leaves, however I place my hand over the PoisonBoxwood, I sense the Poison within, I made sure to have a good lock signature for this type of bush.
I then stored everything into my Shadow
Storage.
(Shadowstorage:The power to seal items into your shadow.)
12 minutes later-
It's been 12 minutes and I have plucked out two PoisonBoxwood bushes they both hand a combined leaves of 1,157.
Now since it's a poisonous plant that contains, a toxic oil for creatures that touch it. I must use PoisonBoxwood, if it where a tea herb, however I must crush the PoisonBoxwood, bush leaves in order to produce some of its oil.
I moved over to a small river where ice could be seen since it snowed yesterday night, the ice is barely melting since the weather is about 48 degrees Celsius.
I then grabbed my kettle, pot and pan out from my ShadowStorage. I then placed my pan down then placed a few PoisonBoxwood, leaves on top of the pan, then proceeded to crush them into pieces.
I then tried to manipulated the melted ice(water) from the river water, there it moved the water or ice moved.
I see I never realized I could manipulate ice since it has the properties of liquids and to be more precise water but since almost all liquids have a sate of matter is probably the reason I'm able to manipulate ice, I should probably learn ice magic.
Now then since I'm manipulating melted ice , I then hovered the melted ice into the kettle.
I then went over to pickup sitcks laying on the floor. I then went over towards the river water then picked up a somewhat flat surface rock that was 8 centimeters wide flat.
I then grab tons of rock to make a fire pit now I grab all the sticks I had then place them in the center of the fire pit, then grab two rocks smacked them together to make sparks.
•spark
•spark
A small set of fire was set I then blow air to make it the fire grow stronger.
•blow
There we go now to place the flat rock onto the fire this will then be used as a heating surface to boil the water with the kettle.
15 minutes later-
The water in the kettle is done boiling, I then poured the boiling water into the pan where my PoisonBoxwood, bush leaves where at.
Now I need to do this process to fill up the pot that could hold up to 4 gallons.
35 minutes later-
I did this procedure about 3 times it was just enough to be under 4 gallons of poison water.
Now time to drink up all of it in one setting.

I pat my stomach down since I finish drinking all of that poison water.
I'll do this process for 7 straight days then I'll go hunt down some Nagas.

Since they are spices with the potential to gain an (S) class monster, and I heard their poison is that of (S) Rank ability.)

Now then to head at least 20 kilometers or more NorthEast.
Just as I was heading towards the direction of NorthEast entrance gate, I looked over to my right then noticed a familiar face they were about the same age height of 164 centimeters tall, had short brown hair.
