Chapter 2: Black Spirit Knight (Part 1)

Summary
Kelvin levels up and gets a huge list from the available skill list. Melfina explains how skills are divided by rank. He goes for Concealment rank D hoping to get it to B rank as soon as possible. Clotho levels up as well and gets Absorption rank F. He learns about monster evolution and decides to level up even more.

After a week, Kelvin gets to rank E in the adventurer's guild. He's asked if he was a court mage that had to become an adventurer but Kelvin refuses to say. Kelvin asks for a D rank quest and Ange decides to in exchange for Kelvin getting some new equipment. An adventurer named Cashel returns suggesting the Black Spirit Knight quest. Kelvin overhears the other adventurers mentions how Cashel bullies newbies. Cashel asks Kelvin to come along with him and his party, but Ange is against it. Kelvin doesn't take Cashel's offer but does want to go after the Black Spirit knight. He challenges Cashel to a competition at to who will take it down first. Cashel leaves with Kelvin knowing that it's a trap. Cashel meets up with Gimul and Raj who are cautious and bloodthirsty respectfully.

At the Black Spirit Knight's Castle, Cashel's party comes across the parlor filled with dead monsters. Kelvin reveals himself saying he didn't want anyone getting in their way. The party underestimates him because of his new gear, but Kelvin knows they're after him. Cashel guesses that Kelvin is after Raj and Gimul because of their bounties. He taunts Raj into attacking him first. Raj leaps ahead only to fall into a D rank spell Rooting Swamp that not even Gimul could detect. Raj tries to escape but Kelvin uses Wind Blade to attack all three of them. Gimul runs off only to run into an evolved Clotho.
