Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Once the countdown finished, a monster started to assemble in the middle of the room.

'Since the first boss is just a simple damage check, I can probably relax a little.' Shiro thought to herself.

Isaac had already stood back up as he readied his sword. As much as he wanted to relish in the feeling of pain, he knew that this was no time to joke around despite it being a test.

*URAHHH!!!!!!

An ear rupturing roar rang out as the hulking beast stood in front of the party. From what Shiro could see, the monster looked like a wingless wyvern that crawled on all fours.

[First test, damage check. Please focus on damaging the boss as much as you can.]

Hearing the announcement, the party nodded their head and dashed forwards.

Shiro tapped her necklace and summoned out Ataraxia.

'Just a walk in the park on a nice day.' She thought to herself. Holding the handle of her sword, she walked towards the boss at a steady pace.

The people that were overviewing the entire area frowned seeing her nonchalant attitude.

"Young master, are you sure that you want her on the party? Wouldn't her attitude leave the party in jeopardy?" One of them asked in concern.

"Don't worry about it. From what I know, she's the serious type when the stakes are high. Right now, as there is no risk, she is probably wanting to take things easy. Out of all the party members, I guess her party of 3 are the ones that we need to worry the least about. However, if you want to talk about those who might put the party in jeopardy, I suggest you keep an eye on Lox. He's not the most cooperative type." Kier said while narrowing his eyes on Lox.

Even now, he was having an argument with Alura while keeping an eye on Yin, Lisandra and Shiro. He couldn't lay a hand on Alura because of Kier, but Shiro's party wasn't the same.

'I'm free to do what I want when the raid's finished. Who knows, maybe I'll have a chance inside the raid.' He thought with a cruel smile.

Meanwhile, several skills collided with the bosses body and reduced its armour count rapidly.

*BANG BANG BANG BANG!

Waving its arms around, it locked several skills and charged towards those it deemed to look the weakest.

Locking its gaze onto Shiro, the boss growled and punched towards her.

"Hou~ So you think I'm weak now do you?" Shiro raised an eyebrow.

Smiling lightly, she swung her sword and collided it with the claw.

*CLANG!

Sliding back a few steps, she managed to stop the fist by redirecting the force into the ground.

Swinging her body onto the fist, she dashed along its arm while making deep lacerations with every step she took.

*URAHHH!!!!

Crying out in rage, the boss tried to get Shiro off its arm. Unfortunately for it, Shiro had already reached its head. Twisting her body, she kicked the monster on the temple and forced it to fall on its side.

Flicking her sword into the air, she summoned her other swords and had all of them attack the boss.

While the others were watching, they weren't idle either and started to bombard the boss's colossal body.

"See?" Kier smiled lightly when he saw the observer's shocked face.

Nodding his head slowly, the observer looked at the statistics and noticed that she had been eerily calm the entire time. Her heartbeat didn't even fluctuate at the sight of the boss which should be impossible in his eyes.

No matter what, fear was always apart of the human conscious. Even if she was confident in taking down the boss, her heartbeat should have at least fluctuated slightly.

"Impossible…" He muttered.

However, what he didn't know was that there were not many things that Shiro was afraid of in her life. She had experienced death and the feeling of being close to death for many years. She faced off against the strongest monsters and came out victorious. She was surrounded by hundreds of tier 5 powerhouses and fought for several days and yet she never feared any of them.

She even killed her best friend, despite the fact that it wasn't her fault and had never wanted such an outcome.

Having experienced all that she could have in her first life, her mental strength was much stronger than what people could comprehend. A mere simulation could never shake her up. If it did, she might as well forget about all that she had done in her first life.

As the boss's HP slowly dropped, Shiro had decided to rest on her sword.

Laying her body on a copy of Ataraxia, she had it fly around so that she wouldn't get hit. Of course, she still instructed the other swords to attack so the party members couldn't complain. Especially when Shiro was in the upper portion of the damage per second chart.

While each of her attacks were slightly inferior in terms of damage, she compensated with the sheer volume of attacks that she could output.

Once the boss was dead, she managed to rank 5th out of everyone. As for Yin and Lisandra, they ranked 4th and 6th.

As for the one who did the most damage, it was naturally Isaac.

"Miss Nytri, how was I?" He asked while trying to get her attention.

"Don't know don't care." Shiro clicked her tongue while glaring at him in disdain.

"Ah~ That glare." Isaac smiled happily.

Flinching in disgust, Shiro used phantom path and flickered next to Lisandra and Yin.

"Ahem, please get ready for the next boss." The observer reminded them as Isaac sighed and readied himself.

There was plenty of chances to fawn over Shiro later.

The second boss was mainly cannon fodder so it was a walk in the park for Shiro once more. A single wave of her hand will kill the mobs in one slice.

Even when she reduced her strength so that it matched a slightly more powerful level 51, she demonstrated how technique could overcome levels since each of her attacks were lethal and precise. It made them wonder if she was an old monster as what she was doing could only be a result of experience and experience comes with time.

*sigh…

Sighing out slightly, Shiro stretched her body.

"You seem relaxed mum." Yin said as she walked over.

"Well what do you expect. Everything is easy." Shiro shrugged since this posed no difficulty on her.

"Hmm… I guess you're right. The last two bosses were a bit simple weren't they?" Yin nodded.

"Probably because they're mostly focused on getting us used to the mechanics. I can almost guarantee that on the fourth boss, they'll crank up the difficulty to catch us off guard. That way, they can see how we react if anything were to happen suddenly. After all, you don't know what might happen in the raid." Shiro smiled as she looked up at where the camera should be.

Seeing Shiro make eye contact with them, Kier raised an eyebrow.

"She's quite sensitive isn't she?" Kier asked with a smile.

"Indeed. Even though it's just a virtual world, her senses allow her to notice when someone is looking at her. Young master, who is she? There is no way that someone like her could be found on the streets. Her parameters are off the charts. Reaction speed, technique, body control and even mana control. Each of them are amazing." The observer asked with a frown. Just looking at her current performance and analysis through the system made his head hurt.

He couldn't fathom how someone could be this in tune with their body. Her brain activity was incredible as well.

When one moves their body, most of it will just be subconscious manoeuvre. But she was different. From what he could see, she was consciously controlling every muscle. The amount of brain power and talent needed to do this was simply unheard of.

This was because a normal person could only focus on a limited amount of things before it becomes mediocre.

However, Shiro was different. She was like a super computer processing everything on super speed. Hell, he wouldn't be surprised if she DID have a computer in her mind because if a 'normal' adventurer tried the same. It'd be akin to having a pedal bike travel to space on its own. Unless it was heavily modified, the person wouldn't even be able to take a step before he loses his balance from forgetting to control his centre of gravity or his other foot.

Such a monstrous being should be part of a big family in the front lines. She shouldn't be in what they would call the 'countryside'.

"Hmm… I don't know. Perhaps we can find out if we do a web wide search of her? Scan her face, voice and fighting patterns. See if you can find a link." Kier suggested.

"Understood."

Meanwhile, Shiro noticed some strange movements and quickly disconnected herself without anyone noticing. It would just look like she was resting for a moment.

Once she disconnected, she noticed that they were trying to scan her.

'Not today.' Shiro smiled and uploaded the wrong data. They weren't about to find out her true identity just yet. After all, if they knew that she pierced asses too soon, it wouldn't be any fun now would it?
