Jessica was so nervous she almost stuttered, "You, you say."
"You gave me a [Windstride Slash] skill book, understand?" Mike stated.
"Ah? Windstride Slash? I think they have it at the Mystic Market, I'll go buy one right now..." Jessica said as she pulled out her Trade Secret Realm pass, ready to shop.
"You're missing my point." Mike explained patiently, "I accidentally got this skill book at the Tower of Truth, heard it's quite valuable. I was thinking of selling it to improve my living situation. But Cain mentioned he really likes the Windstride Slash skill, so I thought I might as well give it to him."
