12 Skill Level Up
Retracing our steps from earlier today, we made our way back to the student dorms.
("...Those weren't here before.") [Solace]
Before we had entered the dorm, I saw floating lamps around the campus. It was like seeing a chinese lantern festival back on earth.
("I guess I'll just have to get used to it.") [Solace]
As soon as we entered Fina's room, she began to undress. Immediately, I turned away from looking.
("I'm not a pedophile I swear!") [Solace]
After hearing a bunch of rustling, I peered over just a bit. Thankfully, Fina was wearing clothing. It was some sort of light pink sleepwear, or rather, pajamas.
("She's not going to use the changing spell?") [Solace]
Fina walked right past the bathroom and flopped onto the bed with an exhausted sigh. Readjusting her position, she made herself comfortable in bed.
"|Cleanse|" [Fina]
A dim light surrounded her for a moment, and then vanished. Judging by the word she just spoke, I guessed it was a spell related to cleaning.
"You have acquired the skill |Cleanse|." [Spirit Guide]
("...How convenient. I don't think I'll ever have the chance to use it though...") [Solace]

Hours passed, and Fina was fast asleep. As a spirit, I didn't have to sleep at all. I never really felt fatigued, so I kind of just continued to watch Fina like some kind of weird stalker.
("...I should do something more productive.") [Solace]
I'm not saying watching Fina sleep was fun, but I wasn't saying it was. I just thought there were better things to do, so I decided to check my status.

("Hm… It's gone up a bit.") [Solace]
While gazing upon my status, something occurred to me.
("Now that I think of it… My level was lower than the goblins, but my stats were still higher… Why is that?") [Solace]
"Response: The racial status between |Solace| and race |Goblin| is vast." [Spirit Guide]
The answer given to me was a bit vague, but I kind of understood what it meant.
("So my race is pretty strong huh…") [Solace]
I pondered about my race, but I waved it aside.
("Let's look at my skills.") [Solace]
I quickly skimmed through the skills I had obtained, but there really wasn't much I could do with it. The only thing that piqued my interest was the |Lv. 1| that was next to it.
("If I remember correctly… My |Mystic Tongue| went up after reading Fina's textbook. That means using it levels it up?") [Solace]
I thought about how I was able to read more fluently after having it rise in level, so I thought to try it on other skills.
("What's a harmless skill that I can use over and over again?") [Solace]
After taking another look at my status, I had finally decided on which skill I wanted to level up.
("Cancel |Appraisal|.") [Solace]
I turned off my skill just in case, and then cast it once again.

My status appeared once more, but I didn't hear any level up notification.
("...How many times do I have to do this to level it up?") [Solace]
I closed and opened it multiple times. If not for the fact that it didn't spend mana, I probably wouldn't have been able to do this.
"|Appraisal| limit has been reached. |Appraisal| has gained a level." [Spirit Guide]
After trying about fifty to a hundred times, |Appraisal| finally increased a level.
("So much work for a single level…") [Solace]
I complained about it inside my head, but there really wasn't anything else to do. Since I was going to remain idle inside Fina's room I might as well do something productive.
("Let's see what level I'll get to by the time Fina wakes up.") [Solace]
