The Energy Shot would easily hit the stationary target right where Sasha pointed it to. Unfortunately, as was the one flaw with Energy Shot, it didn't seem to be powerful enough to do any damage yet as all Mike would feel was possibly a small jab like someone poked him really hard, but it didn't really hurt or deal any notable damage. Still, if Sasha looked at her Energy Shot skill, it did gain a little more EXP. Ren raised an eyebrow at this attempt to try and raise Mike's Physical Endurance Skill, wondering why Sasha would use a magical attack. 

"A magic attack, as we will assume that is what all of our special Mana or Energy Skills are at this point, wouldn't raise the "Physical" Endurance Skill". Ren rolled his eyes, saying this a little coldly as he still did seem to have a somewhat chilled demeanor still. Granted usually it was alot worse around other people, but it was still somewhat chilled here. "So lets stop trying to... kill... one another..." Ren's speech got a little slow there for a moment before his eyes widened as if an epiphany suddenly came to him. He suddenly stood up, walked a few steps away from the small group, then turned to face them. 

"I figured it out. Your attempts at suicide, masochism, and murder here are all... stupid..., but they have given me an idea". Ren sighed a little, scratching his head as he wondered if this would actually work. [i]"Would this system really allow something so... easily exploitable though?"[/i] Still, it was worth a shot. He looked to Lucian before suddenly saying [i]"Request Duel"[/i]. Sure enough a window would appear before Lucian that both him and Ren could see and a window appearing before Ren that only he could see. The window before Lucian read as thus and had two buttons on the window reading Accept (Y) and Decline (N) along with a timer that counted down from 60, indicating how much time he had left to accept the request before it went away. 

[hider=Window]
Ren Hitori has requested a Duel with you. [/hider]

"And there's our answer. If we use this... 'Duel System' then we can attack each other freely during it. We won't die, since characters never die in games from Duels, so we can experiment with new combat Skills or grind our current ones on each other safely without having to resort to masochism, attempted suicide, or murder". Ren clicked a button on his own window, or so could be seen from his touching the air in front of him, and the window with Lucian would disappear right after as Ren probably cancelled the request. "So Mike if you want someone to beat you up ask him" Ren pointed to Silas. "And you two can practice your magic attacks on one another" Ren pointed to Lucian and Sasha with that remark. The young boy didn't really mind watching for now. There was something he wanted to test anyway. 

"Its either that, or we can go home, keep grinding levels on enemies, or do something else". In truth Ren was somewhat excited that they had something like this, it was the only reason why he was talking so much, but his quiet voice seemed to hide what he was feeling a good amount of the time.
