Unfortunately no window appeared for Sasha when she said Observe due to lacking the skill needed, which was the Observe Skill, although Sasha probably wouldn't know that, so other than sounding embarrassing as she awkwardly said Observe. "So... do you know what these arm rings are? Also you two can have the money and those potions to split among yourselves or however you want to do that..."

"Looks like it didn't work..." Sasha said and shrugged. She would have to ask the others how it was done later. "I don't know. I guess I can just wear one and see."

With that, she slipped on one of the metal rings. She spun it around her wrist a few times, the ornament loose on her slender wrist. "Killing these kobolds is great for experience, but I think I need something else right now. If you don't mind, can you teach me some martial arts? Not in a particular weapon. I think hands to hand combat would be a great start. Something defensive so that I'm not useless at close ranges. "

Silas opened the book when suddenly a window appeared in front of his face. "Would you like to learn the HiragaiyaTamashī no Nesshō Skill? [Y] Yes [N] No" was the text displayed on the screen. Silas ignored Genji who came back with the loot and went into conversation with Sasha. Silas pressed [Y] accepting to learn the Hiragaiya skill. He absolutely has no idea what kind of ability he would get, but it would probably be one similar to the fightstyle of Genji is. From what he had understand, this book was from a rivaling dojo of Genji's one.

When Sasha put the arm ring on, having to slide it up her arm a bit if she wanted it to fit snugly, she would suddenly feel herself growing a bit stronger, just a small bit, as if the ring slightly increased one's physical strength when worn on their arm. If that was the true case of what the arm ring did then these were magical items that were pretty awesome indeed.

When Silas pressed the Yes button on the window nothing happened except for a window appearing in front of him.



The requirements seemed rather simplistic to meet, meaning it was probably a basic or beginner skill, but it would still be something useful to learn and with Silas' two level ups he could apply the Stat and Talent points needed to meet these requirements right now if he wanted to, which was always a nice thing about saving points.

Of course, if Silas had any questions first before he did this or anything else he wanted to say first to Genji, Genji would be willing to answer. With Silas' gaming knowledge...

---

Silas Knowledge: 72 - 9 Knowledge - 25 Knowledge of Gaming = 38

---

He would have an idea that whenever Skill Books were used in games the book always disappeared, meaning that there was a good chance that the book may disappear if Silas uses it. Of course, its not like Genji would know this, so if Silas wanted to either ask Genji if he didn't mind the book practically vanishing from existence then he could. He could also do it without asking Genji and pretend that he didn't know this would happen. Of course, its not like the idea is 100% accurate since the book could still be around after the Skill was learned from it. The Gamer power could be unpredictable after all.

(What will happen if Silas does so, don't use this to meta game in your decision on whether or not you want to do this, doing this to save posting time)

If Silas were to apply the points he received from his two level ups to meet these requirements and then attempt to learn the skill once again something much different would happen this time. The book would glow yellow slightly, glowing yellow lights that looked like scraps of paper floating towards and through Silas, as if he was absorbing the skill. He would feel the knowledge, awareness, power, and everything else needed to use this Skill flow into him, Genji's eyes widening as he watched this, openly surprised at whatever was going on.

When it was over the book was now completely gone, nowhere to be seen and now two windows appeared.





"What... the hell was that?" Asked a very surprised Genji, who still seemed to get actively surprised whenever this 'Gamer' power did something new or strange as it all seemed like stuff that had never been seen in the Abyss before.

Still sitting back all relaxed, Lucian still felt the wind around him, but looking at himself it wasn't noticeable at all. "It had such a soothing voice..." He looked upwards, mindlessly clicking to close the new windows that had appeared. Still staring into space, "It worked. Nature is amazing." He continued to simple sit back for a while before finally picking himself up, "Different aspects will give me different boosts, The wind is giving me aid right now," Looking at the crystal he still had in his hand, "I believe that having something attributed to an aspect of nature will help guide this skill towards that aspect," he placed his belongings into his inventory, "Well, this lasts for 36 hours, or so that is what the wind told me." Touching his finger to his thumb, he tried to touch the wind to no avail, "Maybe we should check up on how Ren is doing? We kind did leave him alone for a while."

"The wind talked to you eh... that's pretty impressive. The powers of Nature can be pretty impressive. I prefer magic personally, but still you should find the powers of Nature very useful. Of course, they can also be dangerous if you're not careful, but so can any other form of power including Magic." He then looked at the Crystal in Lucian's hand, nodding. "I think you managed to perform the ritual well enough so that the Crystal wasn't used up, but next time you might have to use its power. Well if you need anymore of those you know where to come and find them." Saito chuckled a little at this, stretching some as he stood up, stretching a bit. When he heard Lucian saying that they should go check up on Ren he nodded and took Lucian back outside of the Pseudospace room and into the shop.

After that he pressed his ring to the door so that it would go to the lab and the ritual room, Saito opening the door and walking inside with Lucian. Inside of the circle in the center of the room was where Ren was sitting, bandages wrapped around the back of his hand. He was currently on his PFP, headphones plugged in. He had taken his jacket off, wearing just his grey shirt, and other clothes obviously, as to get comfortable. When he noticed Lucian and Saito entering the room he looked up at them, slowly standing up, putting his jacket back on and his PFP back in his inventory. "I was taking a bit of a break, I take it things went well." Ren looked at Saito, then up at Lucian, noticing that Lucian's level had increased.

Saito nodded. "Yep. Managed to get some interesting Air Crystals and this guy leveled up twice apparently. Also discovered that if I am in your party, I get EXP as well... which is interesting to say the least. Shows that your power is even more broken than I originally thought." He looked at the two of them now as Ren stood up. "So I take it you two are satisfied with your products?"

To this question Ren nodded. Saito noticed the bandages on Ren's hand but chose to stay quiet.

"Anyway..." Saito walked over to the bookshelf he put the Spirit Channeling for Dummies on and walked back over to Lucian, handing him the book. "If you want this one you can have it, ill just put it on your tab and you can pay me back in full in either cash or more monster drops. It'll be about a 60,000 Yen tab payable in whatever means you can if you want it, like in more of these or whatever else you find that seems interesting" He held up one of the Air Crystals, walking over to an empty jar on a shelf and putting the eight Crystals he received into the jar. "Also if any of your other Gamer Friends, as according to what's circulating on the auction there are five of you, want some books or other special stuff tell them to drop on by with either cool monster drops or cash. Anyway, I have to go soon and close up shop, its starting to get somewhat late. Any questions or anything else you want?"

Ren thought for a few moments, shaking his head. "Not really, thanks for the help." After that rather... brief... statement of thanks Ren began to walk out of the room, heading towards the exit of the store and walking out, waiting outside of the store as he began to slowly and secretively type up another PM.

"Not really much of a people person is he..." Saito sighed and shook his head, looking to Lucian. "What about you? Any questions you have? Or is there anything else you want?"

After school if Mike went down to the Kendo Team's practice room, which looked like an actual dojo on the inside as it was in the part of the building where the gym and other athletics rooms were, he would see Keiichi waiting there, on his knees with his bokken on the floor in front of him. Currently he had his eyes closed, a serious aura around him as if he was meditating. Despite that though he looked completely ready and focused, as if he could spot any attack that came towards him and block it despite the position he was sitting in. "Ah, you showed up." Keiichi spoke with his eyes still closed, but slowly he opened them and stood up, taking his bokken into hand as he did so.

"Take off your shoes before you enter the dojo. Also there is no kendo practice today since the team just had a match this weekend and deserve a break, so it'll just be you and me today. You will meet the rest of the team tomorrow. In the meantime you will spend the rest of this afternoon learning the basics of kendo as before you can learn the Senshin no Ken. Even if you have conviction you still need discipline and strength. Also an understanding of the sword is required, so..." He went over to a rack on the wall where several Bokkens were kept, Keiichi grabbing one that was more Mike's size, which he passed to Mike.

It seemed a bit heavy in Mike's hand, which was probably due to his strength of 2, but he could somewhat hold it properly without detriment to his combat ability, but higher physical strength would make it easier to wield more efficiently. "Now then, get into a stance like this...and hold the bokken as so." Keiichi got into a stance now, a stance for kendo. After taking a deep breath and closing his eyes for a few moments he focused before suddenly opening his eyes and swinging the blade with a strong, downward slash, alot of speed and power behind it.

"I want you to perform 20 of them. How long it takes you to perform twenty swings is not important. You must focus and unite yourself with your sword in every strike. That is the first principle of the Senshin no Ken. Unity with the blade. Your body, mind, and spirit all must be one with the sword. It is not only an extension of your body, but an extension of your very spirit. Of your very self. As such you must swing the blade not only with your body, but with your mind and even your spirit as well. For now though... just focus on the blade as you swing... feel its movement and feel its weight in your hand, it may seem heavy, but eventually the blade, as you become one with it, will feel lighter in your grasp."

After that explanation Keiichi stood, watching Mike. "Are there any questions?"

Mike was ecstatic. Once school let out, he rushed to the Kendo Team's practice room to meet up with Keiichi. After he took off his shoes, he walked further into the dojo and took a Bokken from Keiichi "woah. This is pretty heavy for a piece of wood this big." While it did weigh more then he expected, it wasn't too much for him to handle. He spent a little time adjusting to the weight of the weapon before Keiichi instructed him to get into the same stance that he was in. After that, he told him to swing the Bokken 20 times. When he asked if Mkie had any questions, he answered with "nope, I'm good for now." That said, he began to put all of his concentration into the weight and feel of the wooden sword in his hand. Before he took his first swing, he directed all of his focus at the sword. Once he felt ready, he took his first swing. It felt...strange. He then proceeded to swing it 19 more times, making sure to maintain his focus.

Mike Vitality: 24 - 15 Vitality= 11

Mike Focus: 44 - 25 Focus = 19

---

Swinging the Bokken proved to be surprisingly harder than it looked. One time may have seen simple, but twice. A third time, a fourth time... Doing it twenty continuous times with such little physical strength while attempting to focus one's mind on the blade was difficult. Still, Mike's focus stayed strong the entire time and he managed to pull through after the twentieth swing, somewhat tired, but able to continue. Mike was able to feel the sword with each swing. Its weight, its strength. He was able to also feel his focus becoming a part of the blade with each swing, but it seemed that nothing had come yet except maybe a slightly better understanding of what Keiichi was trying to teach.

Two windows did appear though, two familiar looking windows.





"Good. You seem to understand what I am trying to teach here. I could feel you put your focus into each swing, which made them stronger than normal. Of course, while I do know that physical strength isn't everything I do recommend building it up, but that will come with the training over time." Keiichi looked Mike over for a few moments, but just a few. "Alright. Give me 100. Take your time with it. Focus your body, mind, and spirit into the blade. With each swing you are not just swinging a sword, but you are swinging and attacking with an extension of yourself. Through training with the sword you are training yourself."

If Mike had any questions Keiichi would answer them, but other than that he would watch Mike as began his long drill of 100 swings of the bokken. Luckily with the ability to take his time Mike wouldn't be too hard pressed to get them within a time limit. Still, sitting down to rest would probably break the stream of his focus, so getting them all in a single period period would probably be more for the best.

---

Mike Vit: 26 - 15 Vitality = 6

Mike Focus: 84 - 25 Focus = 69

---

While Mike was able to perform the swings, this taking around five minutes or so, perhaps it was the tedium of performing a hundred in a row, but he wasn't able to properly put his focus into them in the way that Keiichi was implying, Keiichi watching this. The Katana Mastery Skill did go up in Level during the many swings and a window did appear stating the following.



His Str did get upgraded from this, but after the 100 he would be a good bit tired now. It would still probably be a good idea to put some of his next Stat Points into both Str and Dex, maybe until they were at least 10 so that he could properly wield the katana and learn kendo to the fullest extent of his ability. Keiichi shook his head after Mike was done. "You seem to have gotten it before, but the concept is still evading you. Continuing to swing anymore will just tire you out excessively... instead I want you to rest and meditate with your blade, get a better feeling for focusing while holding it. Maybe that will help you better your practice."

Meditation? That he could do. Mike was already feeling a little (for him) excited about getting a Weapon Mastery and a free STR point (proof that he could indeed farm free stat points, but that it would take a lot of effort. However he was fine with that) "Sure, I can do that" Mike said as he sat down with his sword, mimicking the pose that he saw Keiichi in when he first entered, only he was holding his sword in both hands instead of leaving it in front of him. Since he had already managed to learn a meditation skill, he was sure that he had the mental fortitude to pull this off. With his body in position, he cleared his mind just like he did when he taught himself the meditation skill.

Keiichi watched as Mike sat down on his knees to meditate, holding the sword in both hands, which in Keiichi's opinion was a good way to practice meditating with the blade.

---

Mike Meditation: 32 - 25 Focus = 7

---

Meditation seemed alot easier, Mike able to focus his thoughts in and through the blade as Keiichi instructed. Obviously the best learning would come from practicing with the sword while focusing, but through practicing focusing his thoughts, self, and being into the blade while sitting there would give a bit of a feel of how to do it while swinging it. Keiichi would tell Mike to stop after a good ten minutes have passed, Mike recovering a bit of his stamina during the meditation. "That's good enough. I can tell by the subtle shifts of your hold on the blade and by a few other things that you seem to have a better understanding of how to focus upon it while practicing."

After Mike had finished his meditation three windows also appeared in front of him.







It seemed that from this that Skills could be updated or upgraded, which was something useful.

Keiichi, not knowing that any of these windows were appearing, offered a hand to help Mike up. Once he was standing Keiichi took a few steps back. "Now then, I want you to practice once again. 100 more swings as you did before.

---

Mike Vit: 0 (Critical)

Mike Focus: 99 (Fumble)

(Both of them Cancel each other out, so reroll time)

Mike Vit: 41 - 15 Vitality +10 Crit Bonus = 16

Mike Focus: 57 - 25 Focus - 10 Meditation Usage bonus = 22

---

The first few couple of swings were strange. Mike's stamina did not give out, but his mind was off, as if he got an extreme headache from a temporary complete loss of focus. Thankfully he was able to bear through the pain of this sudden and almost migraine inducing headache to shrug it off after the first few couple of swings to quickly restart once again. With a small burst of that vitality to go upon the task seemed a bit easier, especially with the meditation earlier. Mike seemed to begin to develop an understanding of it, pouring more of his spirit, mind, and self into the blade, becoming one with the blade more with each swing, Keiichi watching the entire time.

While indeed there was no way the unity was perfect, it was still quite excellent nonetheless. While it didn't net another free point of Str, as that took alot of effort and time to farm free stat points, something that probably getting two in a single day or even in two days was not easy, Mike did get another couple of levels in Katana Mastery. After his swings were done Mike would have a grasp of what Keiichi was trying to teach, a rather firm grasp, Keiichi giving a small nod of approval. "I could feel you putting more of your self and your will into those slashes. You seem to have a firm grasp on the basic principle of the Senshin no Ken. This is only just a grasp though, you seem to have yet to realize this principle within your self. Still though... you seem to be a rather quick learner... that is quite impressive."

Keiichi picked up his own Bokken, getting into a stance. "I want you to strike at me now, using all that I have taught you. Only by striking at me with your will and spirit through your sword, and attempting to block my own spirit and will within my blade with your own can you attain the realization of the basics of the principle of the Senshin no Ken. Yes... this way you can take that step onto the road, for right now you have not even set a single foot on what is a very long and arduous journey..."

With that, Keiichi got into a stance and waited for Mike's attack.

Alright! He was starting to make some progress, and his Katana Mastery was leveling up pretty quick. At first, Mike wasn't too sure he had much to gain from joining the Kendo Club (aside from it being a condition that Keiichi set if he wanted to learn Senshin no Ken) however if he could grind a weapon mastery here...then that changed everything. A weapon mastery passive was perhaps one of the most powerful passives one could obtain, since it made simple wielding your weapon of choice make you more powerful. His internal celebration over, Mike readied himself to strike Keiichi. Because he had no doubt that the older boy would be able to block his attack with easy, he was able to focus purely on the blade itself. After some mental preparation, he swung his sword at the other boy

Mike Sword Strike: 12 - 2 Melee Weaponry - 8 Skill Bonus = 2

Hit!

Damage Dealt: 1

Mike Focus: 52 - 25 Focus - 10 Hit Bonus = 17

---

Mike was wrong to have doubt in himself. The strike was quite well executed, the Katana Mastery Skill helping him better gain control over his blade to somewhat cover for his lack of physical strength. Still Mike would need to build up some physical strength, which meant putting points into Str, if he wanted to wield a sword properly, Dex as well, the skill managing to barely cover for the poor quality of those two stats. Still the attack struck home, hitting Keiichi on the shoulder. Granted it only made him tense up a bit and probably didn't do much damage, being able to hit him with the sword in which he focused his will and spirit through helped him better grasp attacking a foe with a weapon that wasn't just a weapon, but an extension of not only his body, but his very self.

Keiichi smirked as he had barely managed to miss parrying the attack, stepping back and looking at Mike, looking impressed. "That was good. I felt your will, your conviction, and all else in your strike. Although lay back on the self doubt, as I could feel that in there. The fact that I could feel all of that in your strike means that you have well grasped how to attack while focusing your everything into your sword. Yes, the Senshin no Ken involves placing every bit of yourself into your sword, as when you give your all to your sword it gives all back to you. It is how you unify yourself with your blade. But now that you have grasped this to further understand you must get hit by the same thing..."

Keiichi took a stance, focusing himself. An aura appeared around his body and around his sword, but the somewhat yellowish-greenish aura seemed to be emanating not just from his body, but from his own bokken as well, as if the wooden sword was a true part of his very being instead of just something that he was holding. "Try to block...as I won't be holding back..."

Of course, Keiichi wouldn't go for a killing blow, as it was a bokken after all, although he didn't know about the HP part of Mike's power, or about Mike's power at all actually, but since Keiichi would probably be holding back in the sense of not having any intent to kill then Mike should be fine.

Nonetheless, Keiichi waited for Mike to get himself focused and ready to try and take on his attack.

Mike wasn't too worried. Since he had begun to build himself like a Crusader, he was pretty tanky for someone his level (at least that's how he felt). While Keiichi did say that he wasn't going to be holding back, Mike just assumed that he meant that he would try as hard as he could to hit him, not to hurt him. With that in mind, he felt safe. He was also surprised to hear that Keiichi could feel his emotions when he hit him with his sword, that must mean that he was making really good progress. Taking a few seconds to relax his body, Mike mentally prepared himself for Keiichi's attack "...okay, I'm ready"

Once Mike was ready Keiichi nodded, the aura emanating from him growing more intense and powerful as he focused more. After that he suddenly went forward...

---

Keiichi's Strike: ???

Hit!

Mike Focus: 34 - 25 Focus = 9

Damage Dealt: 70

---

The attack HURT. Alot. But with Mike's focus he could feel Keiichi's entire spirit through hhis sword colliding with his own. Mike could easily tell that Keiichi's own spirit was much more powerful than his own as the attack hit his midsection in an upward somewhat diagonal slash that was as if he was drawing his sword from a sheath in that type of slashing motion, substituting his other hand for the sheath since with a bokken he didn't have one. The slash was so quick and powerful though that Mike couldn't really see this. As one moment Keiichi was standing there. The next Mike felt the sword slash.

Even if Mike was able to somewhat block the attack with his own being, feeling as though the everything that he was putting into his sword was also strengthening himself, he still easily got knocked back, the slash being powerful enough to throw him backwards across the floor and take out nearly all of his HP, probably all of it if it hadn't been for not only his focused state of self helping to block, but also his Resilience stat as well. Needless to say, a Tank, Mike was not. Keiichi looked at Mike, relaxing a bit as he walked over to him, offering a hand to help him up.

"While I said I wouldn't hold back, I did not. That was the full power of my spirit and sword in its base form... as if I had used anymore you probably wouldn't be conscious right now... still..." he looked at Mike, somewhat curious after helping the badly damaged Mike up. "That attack looked like it should have broken bones... yet you seem fine. I felt some of your spirit blocking the attack... but other than probably being pretty badly hurt... you don't seem broken anywhere... what sort of power do you have?" Keiichi looked curious for a few moments, but just shook his head.

"It does not matter... you can tell me if you want to, yet you do not need to. For now you seem to understand and have realized the basic principle of the Senshin no Ken. While you have a long way to go, for now you have taken the first step. Congratulations. How do you feel?" He chuckled a small bit after saying that. "Aside from the obvious actually."

In the meantime, a bit after Mike would finally get his bearings after enduring an attack that probably made a sledgehammer somewhat of a playful shove, a window would appear. Followed by a second one.





Another window also appeared after that.

Wow! That had really hurt. Clearly Mike had underestimated just how much power Keiichi was going to put into that swing, right now his HP was in the red zone. Yet despite that, after a few seconds, he felt just fine. Keiichi was clearly confused about that, so Mike explained "because my body functions like a video game character, get damaged differently then other people. My body itself doesn't show any of the damage I take on it, nor does it suffer from injuries I take, I only lose HP when I get hit...come to think of it; I'm not quite sure just what happens when my HP reaches 0. That attack of your's took off 70 HP, right now I only have 25 HP left. As for how I feel;......I feel amazing. Today's my first day of public school, and I've already made so much progress. I...I don't even know how to thank you for all that you've done for me." So far today, Mike had gotten; a free point of STR, a free point of Focus, a weapon mastery and managed to level it up 3 times, and the basics of the Senshin no Ken. Yeah, he did a lot today. While he wasn't quite sure what a 'Talent Skill' was, that question could wait until later

Keiichi listened to Mike's explanation, clearly being confused by nearly all of it but he did not show it at all. Keiichi was not a gamer by any means. Games were a waste of time and took time away from studies and school activities. Still, he could tell that Mike wasn't bullshitting him, as he had a very keen sense for lies. "Well if that is true, other than the obvious pain... you seem fine, and if what you say is true that could explain why. Still, I've never heard of an Ability that makes someone like a videogame character... sounds quite... interesting to say the least." Keiichi checked the time. They still had a bit of time left, but figured that this was enough for the day.

"Well you should get going home. Do your homework and get some rest. There's no club practice tomorrow, so you'll be coming after school here and I shall begin teaching you the first technique of the Senshin no Ken" He then looked to the Bokken that Mike was holding. "You may keep that. Use it to practice whenever you are not able to practice here. I just don't want to see you carrying it around during school or using it against others for unneeded violence. Do you have any questions? If not, then you are dismissed for the day and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow."

He then gave a polite, serious bow. "Welcome to the Kendo Team. Let us work well together." After that he stood up. "I'll lock up, so you go ahead and head on home." After saying this he went into the back room to check everything so that he could lock up the Kendo Team's room.

Lucian nodded as well, with a small smile on his face, He has more than happy with his product, and the fact that Saito aided him in acquiring two levels and the monster drops, it was overall a good day.

It seemed like the day was just going to keep going in his favour as well, as Saito handed him one of the other books that he looked at and talked about starting up a tab, "Sounds like a fair deal." He nodded again.

He wasn't able to help but raise an eyebrow though as Ren walked out the store, "No, doesn't seem like he is a people person," But even know this, it did seem a bit weird the way Ren was acting. He would have to try and talk to him later. "I don't have any questions at the moment, I'll just try to use this book up, then be on my way." He put the book down, then picked it up again to reactivate the prompting to learn from it, this time accepting, hopping it had the same requirements or similar. Afterwards he turned to Saito, and shook his hand, "I see us doing plenty of business in the future friend," He then turned to leave the store and waved back at Saito, "Take care!"

After leaving the store he looked left and right to see if he could spot Ren, assuming he didn't go to far, when he found him, he did his best to not sound awkward about asking him how he was doing, it wasn't exactly a question that Lucian was well versed in, and even his games didn't use that line too often either. "So..." He was failing already in his own eyes, which then caught a glimpse of the bandages on Ren's hands, sparking even more concern, "Are you alright?"

"Good, I expect payment on it soon, a couple of weeks at least, I'm not a tyrant when it comes to tabs and I am sure you can pay it off within a couple of weeks or so." Then Saito watched as Lucian began to do something with the book, the prompt indeed appearing when Lucian touched it again and tried to learn from the book. When he pressed the Accept button the same affect that happened to him before seemed to occur when he learned the Nature Ritual skill from its skill book, Saito still looking a bit impressed by the display as it was somewhat pretty.

After that a window appeared, followed by another.





When Lucian shook his hand Saito shook back in return, having a firm handshake as that was a mark of a good businessman. "Indeed. Just don't die on me out there" He chuckled, but then his tone turned a bit more serious now. "Also... just because this world seems dangerous, do not let it consume your life with fear or paranoia... Anyway, take care of yourself."

After Lucian left and came outside, able to spot Ren right outside the entrance of the store waiting for Lucian. When asked the question he just nodded. "Y-Yea... I'm fine...black magic just takes alot out of a person, that's all." His voice was still cold and somewhat distant, but not as such, probably because Ren was somewhat tired. Ren suddenly zipped up his jacket a little quickly for some reason before finishing his PM. It was currently about 5:00 PM. The PM to the other three said the following.



"So... we could either try and go meet the others or go somewhere else, I have nothing else better to do, so what would you like to do right now?" In truth, Ren was a little bored as he took out his PFP and turned it on, holding the console in his somewhat slender hands, his right hand still having the bandages over the back of it for some reason.

Lucian scratched his head, "I have a few tests and things I'd like to work out, so I'd like to call it an early evening..." He then paused, "But I wouldn't mind a bit more grinding, or testing out some theories I have for skills, as that is what I was planning on doing tonight." He looked at Ren's hands again, "Sort of like what you did with your Mana bolt. I think I should upgrade my Mana Wave." He held his own hand out looking at it and fiddling with his fingers, "But I think I am going to take my inspiration and twists from what I know about nature," The memory of how the wind sounded echoing through his mind. He then looked back a Ren, "If you are up for a challenge, I think that you would be a great help for me to work a few things out."
