When Mike used observe on Keiichi Ishimaru the following window appeared.



When one of the fellow students was asked about Keiichi he looked at Mike quizzically for a few moments. "Ishimaru-senpai? He usually hangs out in either the kendo team's room or the room that houses the student morals committee. I don't know why you would want to talk to him, but be careful not to break any rules, that guy is a stickler for the rules and captain of the kendo team, so getting on his bad side isn't a good idea."

Thanking the other student, Mike went to check both the kendo team's room, and the student morals committee room (something he didn't even knew existed. In fact, he found the need for a 'student morals committee' baffling. Were things so bad here that they really needed a committee for student morals? That was a rather unpleasant thought). The first room he checked didn't seem to have him in it, so he left to check the other after using Observe on everyone inside to get some quick EXP for that skill.

The kendo team's practice room would be closed during lunch, since teams didn't play until after school. A quick look into the school moral committee's room, however, would reveal only Keiichi inside of the room and no one else, as he was the head of the morals committee here. Using Observe on other students he passed though, which weren't that many, would yield enough EXP in the Skill to get it up to Level 4, a window appearing for Mike mentioning that its level had gone up by 1. The committee room was rather a bit smaller though, more like a club room rather than a room like the student council had as the committee itself was probably more like a presence to prevent any delinquents from showing up, which judging by how the student Mike talked to spoke of Ishimaru the older student seemed pretty well known and thus probably by his presence alone prevented bad behavior.

Currently Keiichi was inside, eating lunch by himself, as it was still lunch time and not after school, while also reading from what appeared to be a notebook, the contents of which Mike wouldn't be able to see from outside of the door. It looked more like a notebook one wrote in notes for school though rather than anything interesting, but again it could contain just about anything.

Genji headed back inside leaving the weapons alone with him and Sasha. "Hmm.. I guess so..." Silas responded when Sasha talked about the Genji, like Ren, gave us free stuff. Silas would maybe go for a long sword as it would work similar to his squash racket or the wooden sword he got from Ren.

"Yeah I also read it." Silas said as he and Sasha, and probably also Lucian and Mike got another PM from Ren. This one talking about suspicious looking books that could grant them powers. Silas remembered the book that was lying down next to Genji. Silas looked around and saw the book still lying in the same spot as it was before. Silas wanted to grab it when suddenly Sasha turned to him, asking him what he would do with his powers.

"I honestly really don't know. I have a happy life, and I'm not the type who wants to save the world... I would rather destroy it then... well you get what I mean." he said. Silas turned around and headed to the book. While walking he looked behind him to Sasha he asked. "So any ideas what you're going to do with your powers?" he asked, and quickly grabbed the book before returning to Sasha so she could answer his question.

'He's all alone? Perfect! That means I don't need to think up an excuse to get him to come with me, we can just talk here' Mike thought to himself. "Um, excuse me Ishimaru-senpai? I was wondering if I could have a moment of your time?" he asked as he entered "My name is Mike, I was in the 1st year class you visited today...assuming you only visited one class today. Anyway, while you were in our class, I noticed that you were part of the masquerade. You know...the whole hidden magical world that normal people don't know about. I myself became a part of it just a few days ago, it's why I'm healthy enough to start going to school. My powers make my function like a character in an MMORPG; I can fight things or complete quests to get EXP, once I get enough I level up and can increase my stats. I see other people's name, level, and class above their head, your level is 24 by the way. I can also learn special skills, one of which is called Observe, which basically lets scan someone for information. That's how I learned that you practice a sword style that lets you use the wind to attack, which I'm assuming is a mix of magic and swordsmanship. What really interests me is the whole 'using a sword to cast magic' part, since it resembles a class from an MMO I used to play a lot. So I was wondering...could you teach me how to do that?" As per usual, Mike went with the 'complete honesty' route

Genji had left them alone again with the weapons, mentioning that he was going to go open a Pseudospace in the special training area so that he could teach them all how to fight. When Silas picked up the book, the moment he did a window appeared, stating the following.



Around this time though, after Sasha answered Silas' question, Genji returned, it not really taking all that long to open the Pseudospace below. "Sorry about that, but I am back. The Pseudospace is ready and..." Genji noticed Silas holding the book that he was reading. "Ah, you're interested in the Soul Burn technique? I don't think you could learn it though since it also requires the Hiragaiya Spirit Technique, a technique that a different clan of martial artists, the Hiragaiya clan, practices. We sometimes trade our basic techniques and knowledge with other clans to study them and use the theories behind them to improve our own techniques. I would give that copy to you, but I can't really have that book, since it contains knowledge from a different clan, from leaving this place."

He then looked at the stack of weapons, then back at them. "Anyway, if you have picked your weapons and no longer have any questions, follow me and we can go train you all for a short bit in the Pseudospace."

Listening to Saito chant his spell in Greek, then watching these missiles of magic slam into the wind element, Lucian couldn't help but reminisce of games he had played in the past and the abilities and spells in them, "Magic Missile?" He spoke aloud, but not to Saito. Upon seeing the small crystal on the ground though, and Saito's inquiry, he responded, looking at him, "As a game character, I am I am now a tool to identify things." He picked up the crystal, and started examining it, "Observe," He then looked at the window and tossed the stone over to Saito, sharing what the information window had to tell about it, then he continued, " Also, anything that is dropped by a monster while we are around is going to be safe to pick up, I've heard of traps in games, or not being able to move due to a full inventory, or cursed items that when equipped can't be removed, but never a drop that has been unsafe to touch." Looking at the other elementals floating around minding their own business, he smirked, "I hope like that crystal, because I am pretty sure we are going to find at least another one of those before we are done as well."

Lucian then proceeded to launch another Mana Wave at another elemental floating about.

Retro-posting part of this cause I didn't see Lucian inviting Saito into the party

When Lucian talked about a Party invite Saito appeared quite confused, but the moment the window appeared in front of him he was quite shocked, looking at it curiously as if he had never seen anything like it before, which he hadn't. The difference about this window though was that Lucian could also see it. "Well ill be damned... so this is the kind of thing you see... must be annoying to have them suddenly pop up like this..." He pressed the accept button and suddenly a notification would appear in front of Mike, Sasha, Silas, and Ren reading as follows.



After he joined the party and after they killed the first Air elemental he looked above Lucian's head a bit accidentally, also a bit surprised. "Hey... I can see your level and stuff above your head now... is this cause I am in your party now? Does the Gamer Ability affect even non-gamers who join your party? Did I also get EXP from that air elemental we killed?"

Saito was asking this question as Lucian walked over to the strange crystal, picked it up, and said 'Observe'. The window stated the following.



When Lucian read off the window data after tossing the Item to Saito he looked at it, nodding, looking quite impressed. "You really need to make sure no one else finds out about your special functions of your power, especially this one... as this function really is just freaking broken. Since technically getting a air crystal like this should be impossible since it is creating a physical thing out of nothing, your power is breaking the laws of nature. Alot of people would want to get their hands on you and your friends if they found out about this."

After that, Lucian attacked the next Air Elemental with another Mana wave.

---

Lucian Mana Wave: 52 - 5 Projectile Weaponry = 47

Miss

---

Unfortunately Lucian's attack was a bit off the mark. The creature was pretty agile, plus the bit of distance between him and the elemental made it seem like any normal firing of a projectile weapon instead of giving him distance advantage, projectile weapons being something that Lucian wasn't too good with.

"If you plan on using any form of ranged abilities you really need to work on your aim. If you have some kind of agility or dexterity stat or whatever, I recommend raising it. For us mage types, being able to get away from a person or being able to dodge attacks is very important as is our spells being able to hit them..."

He then aimed his palm towards the creature again it now charging towards them as Saito chanted. Unfortunately the Air Elemental was faster this time than Saito's chanting was, suddenly letting off a powerful blast of wind from an 'arm' of wind that appeared on it, the blast sailing straight towards Lucian.

---

Air Elemental Air Pulse: 53

Lucian would barely be able to duck out of the way of the pulse of wind, able to feel that it was somewhat strong as it blew past him. Luckily before it could attack again Saito finished quickly chanting his spell within the next few moments, this chant being a bit new and different, which made it take a slight bit longer. "Ισχύς συγκεντρώσει σε μένα, να γίνει το βέλος μου για να χτυπήσει τον εχθρό μου, έτσι ώστε να είναι νικηφόρα. Απόκρυφες Μπολτ!" Again, Lucian could only tell it was greek, what Saito was saying though would be a mystery to him. Suddenly though mana began to gather around his hand, making it glow blue as he chanted the spell. The moment he finished his chant it suddenly formed at his finger tips, looking like a small, yet highly concentrated, sphere, the sphere launching from his finger after that in what appeared to be a much more comet shaped, arrow like projectile, a trail of energy behind it as it shot straight towards the elemental.

---

Saito Arcane Bolt: -17 (Not a Crit)

Hit!

Damage Dealt: 44

---

The bolt struck true, right in the center of the beast, exploding with a burst of arcane energy on contact, the elemental's very essence being destroyed by the blast, it soon dissipating and fading into nothing. Where it was floating before, once again, was another Weak Air Crystal, Saito walking over to it and picking it up before tossing it to Lucian. "Here, you take this one. Note that if you want to trade what you get to me, ill be happy to oblige, as these hold a bit more value to me than those parts that your friend brought in do. Anyway, how much EXP do you get from these things, and do they give me EXP to since I am in your party?"

Mike Negotiation: 36 - 12 Negotiation = 24

---

When Mike came in Keiichi looked at him, giving a nod. "You must be the new student, Mike Cove-san. Of course you can have a moment of my time. I am always willing to hear the concerns and questions of other students." And then, he listened to what Mike had to say. As he listened his eyes narrowed a bit, his serious gaze placed upon Mike as one hand was placed upon the bokken upon his waist, and there it stayed for most of Mike's speech, only leaving it near the end, a sigh escaping from him at the end, followed by a small chuckle. "I admire your honesty C. Not too many in the Abyss share that same quality, the quality of being both brave and foolish enough to bare themselves out fully before others, willing to take that risk. Its admirable and if this were the feudal era I am certain you would make a fine samurai, but it is not, unfortunately, and as admirable a trait it is, you should be more wise to keep it hidden more in the future, less you be killed by one who would think you some kind of assassin..."

Keiichi stood up, gazing at Mike, looking him over for a moment, his eyes seeming to try and gaze deep into him, as if trying to gaze deep into his soul. "The Ukiha Kamikaze Ryuu is not magic at all. It is a powerful and secretive style of Kendo that I cannot simply teach you, for not only am I not skilled enough to teach you, but also you would have to seek both the permission and trust of my own master to learn it. Not only that, but from just looking at you I can tell that you lack both the basic strength and discipline to learn how to wield the basic techniques required for the Ukiha Kamikaze Ryuu or even the Senshin no Ken (Spirit sword for you english speaking folks) for that matter, for you only seem concerned about gathering power, and Kendo should not be learned to acquire strength for just the pursuit of strength. As a student, it is imperative that you focus on your studies and ignore the Abyss as such a topic will only damage your enjoyment of your new school environment..."

Keiichi then stood up, having finished his lunch. He closed his notebook and put it and his bento into his bag. "If it is Kendo you do wish to learn, however; the kendo team is always welcoming new members. If you can prove that you possess the discipline or are willing to train towards it, then maybe I can teach you the basics of the Senshin no Ken...until then, head back to class. Lunch time is almost over."

With that, Keiichi walked towards the door, opening it to let Mike out first, unless Mike had anything else to add or say. Otherwise, after Mike left the morals committee room Keiichi would leave after, locking the door behind him before giving Mike a proper bow of introduction. "Forgive my rudeness for not saying this earlier, but it is nice to meet you Cove-san. I hope you enjoy your time at Gekkoukan High..." After that Mike stood up straight and turned to leave to go back to his own classroom.

Before Keiichi left, Mike added, with a downcast look on his face "I...I was born with a horribly weak immune system. It was so bad, that I had to spend all my time at home to avoid getting sick. In fact, the only times I ever left my home were to go to the hospital. I...I've been on death's door so many times that I stopped bothering to count, and I'm not even including the times when I was still just a baby. The doctors didn't expect me to live to see my tenth birthday, so when that day came, I saw every day afterwards as a miracle. However, every night I went to bed I was terrified that I wouldn't wake up next morning. I couldn't have any dreams, since I didn't think I would live long enough to fulfill them...I didn't even have a future. Until a few days ago...when I woke up to see a strange information screen in front of me saying that I was fully healed after sleep. For the first time in my life...I was healthy, I could have dreams, and a future. I was told by someone else that if I just ignored this power, that it would go away, but if that happened, then my immune system would go back to being weak, and I'd start to get sick again. As painfully ironic as it is; I'm safer in the Abyss then I am outside it."

After a quick sigh, he continued "I realize that the Abyss is a dangerous place...but at least I can prepare for those dangers, unlike random illness finding their way into my body. Hell, A few weeks ago, I got HIV from a dirty needle in the hospital. I...I understand if I came across as some kid way in over his head that had no idea how much danger he's in...but as someone who's lived his entire life just hoping to live to see the next day, I understand my mortality far better then you think. Sure, having this power is fun, but that's mostly because I had to become an optimist just to keep myself from being crushed by the sheer hopelessness of my situation. I know that my life is in danger...but at least I'm finally able to fight back, and it's not just for me, but for my parents too. The day we got back the lab results that said I had a clean bill of health......I...I've never seen them that happy before. So please! If this Senshin no Ken is really magic based like it sounds...then I'll do anything not morally wrong to learn it" he finished with a bow

Keiichi listened to what Mike had to say, a small smile appearing on his more serious features after he looked at Mike for a few moments. "That... is a more proper answer. Power to prepare for danger. To protect yourself and to protect others, especially those you care about. The Senshin no Ken is not a magic based art, but a art based on the spirit and body, but I feel as though you would be better learning that then magic anyway. Come to the Kendo Team's room after school... you'll not only join the Kendo club to learn Kendo, but I will teach you whenever I am available on the basics of the Senshin no Ken as well in private on days the Kendo club does not meet. It will be hard training, but from that answer... I can sense you have the conviction and determination needed to learn. For now, head back to class. You don't want to miss the rest of your lunch period."

With that, Keiichi turned and walked away, leaving Mike to his own devices.

His sadness and melancholy leaving his soul, it took his mind few moments to adjust to the sudden change in his mood "thank you so much!" he said to Keiichi before the other boy left his line of sight. That taken care of, Mike returned to his classroom to each his lunch 'body and spirit huh? Sounds like it at least uses WIS. Although I'll need to boost my STR and DEX if I'm going to use a sword. However I'd much rather get those points from working out since it sounds like it would be a lot easier to get free STR and DEX then it would to get free WIS. My STR and DEX might be crap now, but my high VIT should make it easier to grind free points for them. Not only that, but I might even get some in the kendo club. I have no idea why some people seem to hate school so much; my first day here, and I've already made so much progress'

Catching the small crystal, Lucian then placed it into his inventory. "How much exp these things give?" He paused for a moment He never thought of checking that. It was a common thing to do in certain games, which would let you know just how many of a monster you needed to fight, but Lucian never thought of doing it in real life, they just fought imps for as long as they could.

He opened up his status window to examine himself, looking at the amount of experience he had, Currently 118, he would know be able to calculate how much they gave him, till his next level up, when he assumed they would give less.

"Alright, Don't know how much yet, but it looks like I am close to leveling as well, So I will keep an eye on my xp after this next one." Walking closer to an elemental this time, he held his hand out for another Mana Wave. Thinking briefly before he let it out, Siato is right, this works well on monsters, but wouldn't fair to well on people and really mobile targets. I need to learn a new offensive spell soon. He then let it go.

"Cool. You think ill get EXP from these things as well? I mean... I can see your level over your head like you see over the heads of others. Maybe since we are partied up, your power will affect me in other ways. Maybe you can see how much EXP I have or whatever with that... Observe thing you used. That gives you info on stuff right? I heard you say that when you looked at that Crystal and suddenly you knew a good bit about it..." Saito was a bit in thought, just wondering how deep of a potential this 'Gamer' Power had. The more that Saito seemed to discover about it, the more concerned he was growing as he figured if someone found out about the incredible things it could do... all kinds of people would want to get their hands on Lucian, Ren, and the others through any means necessary.

After that Lucian launched his attack at the air elemental after getting a bit closer to it, Lucian getting closer to it seeming to attract its attention.

---

Lucian Mana Wave: 31 - 5 Projectile Weaponry - 25 Distance Bonus = 1

Hit!

Damage Dealt: 19

The strike hit dead on, slamming the creature of wind and withering away some of its very essence with the attack, the blow being quite nasty to it, but the creature still looked up with 21 HP still remaining as 19 damage was did to it, the creature having 40 HP in total according to the bar over its head. The blue bar beneath the red one indicated that the creature had 20 MP as well, indicating that it probably had some magical attacks, which was evident by the blast of wind a different one nearly clobbered Lucian with not too long ago. Saito began to chant a spell right after Lucian's attack hit it.

Unfortunately chanting took a few good seconds and the Air elemental was faster than Saito in this exact moment, it suddenly launching a blast of wind at Lucian, the distance between the two of them making it a bit harder to dodge.

---

Air Pulse: 6

Hit! (Max Damage)

Damage Dealt: 15 (Physical/Wind)

Knockdown: Resisted

---

The powerful pulse of wind hit Lucian dead on right in the center of his body, blasting him backwards about a few feet, but luckily Lucian managed to barely stay upon his feet, even if the attack hurt alot, like a very powerful punch to the gut.

Fortunately though before it could do anything else Saito finished chanting his spell, that same small barrage of magical missile projectiles flying from his hand and towards the creature, all of them quickly honing in on the creature to all slam into it, all four missiles finding their mark. The first one did 7 damage, then 8, then 3, and then 3 more damage all in a rapid fire succession as they all slammed into the beast nearly all at once. The missiles seemed to deal enough damage to make the creature vanish into thin air as the missiles blasted away the rest of its being.

After it was destroyed another Air Crystal dropped in its location, Saito looking over at Lucian as he quickly walked over to him. "Hey you alright?" He looked him over for a few moments, giving a nod. "Yea, when those things hit you it can hurt. Luckily they all don't attack at once. Unlike creatures like demons or undead, as I am guessing those are what you all have been fighting, elementals usually just do their own thing and only attack when provoked." He then looked over at the Crystal, walking over to it and picking it up. "So, how much EXP did you get from that, and I am curious as to whether or not I can get EXP as now, as it would let us see just how freaking broken this..." he paused to look at the space above Lucian's head. "'The Gamer' thing is...I mean... that attack should have broken a few ribs and left you with the wind knocked out of you, yet you seem perfectly fine... it probably hurt like hell yea... but just from looking at you, you seem able to take a few more of those things no problem..."

After Lucian answered Saito's question Saito would give whatever his response would be (just future posting what Saito will do after he reacts to Lucian's response) and then chant a spell as he aimed his palm at Lucian, this one being different from the others. Saito seemed to be able to chant this one with alot more speed and ease, the words sounding much more fluid. "απόκρυφες δύναμη, να γίνει μια ασπίδα για να προστατεύσει τους συμμάχους μου από τη ζημιά. μαγική ασπίδα!" During the chant his hand and ring shone with a blue glow as it did when he cast his other spells and suddenly Lucian's body was surrounded in what appeared to be a thin, shimmering barrier of arcane energy.

"This should protect you from a few hits of those elementals. Don't need you dying on me after all, that would suck. Warding and defensive magics are more of my battle magic specialty rather than offensive spells. After all, if you can make your opponent's attacks useless, then you are free to attack them however you please."

Opening his window to look at his stats, "I gained a whopping four xp points, which is decent as I level up at one hundred and thirty so about two more till the next level." closing his window, "IT is another part of being a gamer, most games don't include you break bones, just simply losing health, so we can take a beating, and it will be hard to literally break us. It was one of the powers we got from the get go, a, 'Gamer Body'." He made quotation marks with his fingers while talking.

He then shrugged in response to Saito's question, "I'm not sure, If seeing levels, and everything else is applying to you while in a party, I would guess you get experience and can level as well." As much as Lucian wanted to give answers to the questions that Saito had, he just didn't have them. This whole thing was still fairly new to him, could it be that all of the gamer powers got transferred to people as they joined with them? or just a few powers? "Can you try to use a voice command to open a window, like...status?" His own window opening inadvertently. He closed it with a bit of an annoyed look on his face, " I'm not sure how to check your experience, I usually play games where everyone sees there own, I don't know a command for it, unless observing you will know display it." he saw no harm in trying, so again, he used observe on Saito. While this was happening though, he heard another chant, and before he knew it, he had received a notification of a buff.

Lucian's eyes widened, as he looked over himself, "I would agree, if your foes can't hurt you, you should win any battle, as long as you can do something to them," Talking while looking over and trying to touch the barrier placed on him, "Well, guess we can also see how much damage you can negate... For science." He smirked and chuckled at his joke of a battle cry, then let go another Mana wave at an elemental.

Only four EXP? That didn't sound alot from Saito's experience of games, where it took thousands upon thousands to level up. Still when Lucian mentioned how much EXP he needed to hit the next level he nodded. "I guess your system doesn't put numbers in the hundreds or thousands for anything. I guess that does make things less complicated." After that he heard Lucian's suggestion of trying to open up a Status window, which he responded with using a nod before saying "Status" out loud. After a moment an embarrassed look appeared on his face as he just sort of rubbed his temple and shook his head. "Nope, nothing. I guess I don't get that part of your power."

After that Lucian used Observe on Saito, which elicited a new and different looking window of data on the Artificer.



It appeared that Lucian could indeed now see Saito's experience points, there being a fraction there for some reason, which with Lucian's intellect he was able to somehow surmise that the decimal there was probably from Saito gaining a very small amount of EXP from the elementals due to him being six levels higher than them. Of course, this deduction was only accurate if Saito was gaining EXP at all from the elementals, so remembering the current amount now then looking at it after one more is killed would prove if he does indeed gain EXP from monster killing while the Gamer power is affecting him.

"Well it should be able to negate alot, but still, try not to get hit anyway, i'd rather not have to cast that spell repeatedly on you." Saito let off a chuckle and watched as Lucian made his next attack at yet another elemental.

---

Lucian Mana Wave: 38 - 5 Projectile Weaponry = 33

Miss

Saito watched as the wave once again barely missed its mark. "You really need to work on your accuracy..." After that remark Saito quickly began to chant his next spell, hopefully before the elemental was able to launch another attack at Lucian. Unfortunately the swift weak Air Elemental was faster than Saito's chanting, another pulse of air being launched from its body and straight towards its aggressor, who just happened to be Lucian.

---

Air Elemental Air Pulse: 69

Miss

---

Luckily its attack missed Lucian as well by quite a good bit, Saito managing to get off another spell. The second of the Spells he revealed to Lucian. Mana condensed in his hand before being launched from his fingertip like a fast moving, comet like arrow after he finished chanting his Arcane Bolt, not that Lucian would know that it was called that, spell, the bolt heading straight for the elemental.

---

Saito Arcane Bolt: 23 - 20 Projectile Weaponry = 3

Hit! (Max Damage)

Damage Dealt: 44

---

Once again, in a single hit of that spell right in the center of the creature, the Air Elemental vanished right after being hit by that deadly magical projectile as a red 44 appeared over its head, something that only Lucian seemed to see as Saito was not reacting to it. Unfortunately this elemental didn't seem to drop anything as nothing was left in its place after its disappearance, Saito looking at the spot with a small bit of a sigh. "I guess the item drop thing also works like a game in the fact that you don't get items from everything. Never really liked that in games. Anyway, with that you should only need to kill one more to get to Level 8. After that, we can just keep killing them until you get to Level 9."

If Lucian either kept the window from Saito's observe data open, or used Observe on him again, he would see that Saito gained .2 EXP from the death of that Air Elemental, which meant that for every one of them that they killed Saito gained a fifth of an experience point. But this is only if Lucian decides to look at that window again, ill let you decide that Ominal.

Destroy the world? She wondered what Silas meant by that, but decided he was probably just joking. Sasha didn't think she was up to the task of "saving the world" either. Reality is very different from fiction: changing the world didn't just take reckless acts of violence, it required dedication and planning.
Silas returned the question while he walked away from her, distracted by something she did not see. When he came back, there was a book in his hand.

"Could it be a skill book like Ren mentioned? Cool!" She exclaimed, eyes twinkling. "And to answer your question, I frankly don't really know yet. I wouldn't go as far to talk about saving the world. Where did you even get such an idea? Anyway, to me this is the most interesting thing that had ever happened in my life. I don't know, maybe this was what I was destined for. Maybe we all were."

Sasha examined the weapons that Genji offered them. They are dangerously real, with edges that felt very sharp under her thumb. A light press would probably be enough to draw blood. Sasha gave the swords a few testing swings, but they felt heavy and unwieldy in her hands. She didn't even try the spear and bow.

"I think the dagger will suffice. Just have to stick the pointy end into things, right?" She made a few stabbing motions with it. "Yeah, I think I can do that. Oh, if you don't mind, I'll take one of the short swords too!"

Silas once again was trying to be nice to Sasha and asked her what she wanted to do with her powers. He already had noticed that she was a bit surprised by his own answer, but brushed it off as a joke, luckily because Silas didn't really have the intention to do it. However Sasha thought they were part of the chosen ones or something. As if this was one of those games where you suddenly happen to be the main hero, the chosen one, or the same case in a TV show. But, gotta have something to answer with.

Silas shrugged when Genji told him about the book. Silas was a bit confused whether he could have it or not. But it probably was wise to just leave it here. Who knows if Genji's little sister was peeping on them. If Silas would take the book she was surely beat him up for that. Silas studied the weapons. Sasha quickly made a decision by choosing a dagger and a short sword. It may have been because of Silas' attraction to the Japanese culture, to choose the katana. But he also wanted a weapon with good range, although not being as long as a spear, as it would get in his way. Silas also had the thought of a hammer as weapon in the back of his head, but that also would have short range... and it wasn't one of the available weapons.

"I've made my choice." Silas said and grabbed the katana, he held the sword in front of him, looking at his reflection in the clean katana. He slashed down in a quick motion when Genji said to follow them to the pseudospace. He liked the grip of the katana so he decided to hold it in his hands for this short walk. "Okay let's go."

"Well maybe I should just come up with a skill that doesn't need accuracy, Or I should just shoot point blank all the time" Lucian muttered, he was never one to enjoy having a flaw of his being pointed out, most people didn't like it, but he took it a bit more personally. Even though he didn't specialize in offensive spells, it was clearly noticeable to Lucian that Saito was a bit better at this than he was. Though he would be able to catch up rather quickly if he really went forth and grinded.

"Well, From what I noticed has changed in your window, You gain one fifth of an experience point every time we defeat a wind element." He also knew a tad more about Saito as well as his stats, but he felt that it wasn't necessary to talk about those, not at this moment at least. "So I guess we get back to the grind then?" he motioned to the rest of the elementals, drifting around, then turned to go to blast another, but stopped to talk instead, "By the way, like with some games, there is a chance of a bigger one appearing, I don't know the trigger, but it has happened before with imps. Just a heads up, just in case." He than charged forward to point blank another elemental with his mana wave, I wont miss this one!
