Chapter 20 Novice Gifts

The dark elf seemed to have suddenly come to her senses at that moment, speaking in her vicissitudes of voice that was highly incongruous with her appearance.

"Is it to learn skills?"

"Yes."

kevin nodded, he didn't know how much time it took to learn a skill, but one merit point was enough for him to learn any F-rank skill!

The dark elf didn't say much, raising his hand and pointing out a black aura that merged into kevin's Abyssal Ring!

Instantly, kevin's Abyssal Ring reflected a projection of an energy light screen once again, and one assassin's skills were listed out, and at a closer look, there were more than a dozen of them!

"Blade Storm!"

"Moon Shadow Steps!"

"Arc Flash!"

"Gale Strike!"

...

"Arc Flash: The assassin's body instantly flashes through an arcing course!"

"Instant Stab: move a certain distance in front of you at a very fast speed!"

"Sword Blade Storm: a small slew pulls enemies around the assassin, dealing no-attribute physical damage!"

"Substitute Wind: This is one of the techniques that has long been a strategic method for assassins to increase the speed of their attacks. This technique inspires the power of the wind into the sword, feeling its weight like a feather, and practicing it over and over again will make you feel lighter and lighter, and your attacks faster and faster!"

"Gale Strike: This is one of the long time assassin's strategy method, the wind instantly blows, and the surrounding enemies are pushed out powerfully. It is mainly used when the assassin is surrounded by enemies and is in danger, in order to escape from the skill, its own power is not very strong!"

"Moonshadow Technique: the assassin is in a state like the shadow of the moon that no one can observe. It is possible to lurk in close proximity and go undetected, but certain animals utilize their senses and can detect the lurking!"

"Light Body Steps: a strategic method for assassins that has been forgotten. In a short period of time, it allows one's physical qualities to rise by leaps and bounds, speeding up one's movement. However, due to physical limitations, it has the disadvantage of not being able to be used repeatedly!"

A single powerful skill was laid out in front of kevin, labeled as one month's time or one merit point to learn!

A single powerful skill was presented in the light screen, posing as a pick-me-up, and kevin could learn any of them if he wanted to!

Includes Moonshadow Steps, the signature stealth skill of this assassin!

But, after faltering slightly, kevin quickly resolved himself again, pulling the list of skills down to the bottom and finding the one he wanted!

"F-rank dagger proficiency: a generalized skill of the darkness system!"

"Skill Description: a technique mastered by rookies just entering the industry after a month of special training, it allows you to familiarize yourself with the weapon in your hand, and when wielding it, you are able to accomplish greater kills on your enemies!"

"Grade F Taijutsu Mastery!"

"F-rank dual sword (long) proficiency!"

...

"Grade F Dual Sword (Short) Proficiency: a generalized skill of the Darkness System!"

"Skill Description: a technique mastered by rookies just starting out after a month of special training, it allows you to familiarize yourself with the weapon in your hand and not cut yourself while wielding it!"

"That's it."

Kevin gritted his teeth and closed the skill light screen, gazing straight at the dark elf in front of him, saying, "Mentor, I want to learn Short Sword Mastery!"

Upon hearing this, the corner of the Assassin Tutor's mouth curved up into an undetectable arc, nodded, and said, "Good."

Saying that, the Dark Elf sat up from the soft leather chair, her upper body slightly leaning forward, and a tender finger as slender as a peeled onion root seemed to have crossed the limitations of space, directly pointing at the center of kevin's eyebrow!

In an instant, the sense of information influx like the learning of the Abyssal Common Language swept through kevin's mind once again, a set of images of short swords in hand, practicing various movements flashed before kevin's eyes, and some experience insights of using short swords suddenly surfaced in kevin's mind as if on a whim!

"Grade F Dual Sword (Short) Proficiency learned successfully, one merit point deducted!"

The Guide's icy voice jolted kevin's consciousness out of his short sword comprehension!

(Short swords, dexterous and versatile, searching for gaps to enter, as fast as the wind, and as tricky as a viper!)

In kevin's mind, a flash of realization abruptly crossed his mind.

"One who cannot even master his own weapon does not deserve to be an assassin."

The Assassin Tutor was panting slightly sharply, her chest outlining a tantalizing wave, as if the skill learning just now had consumed a lot of her stamina.

"Thanks a lot."

kevin bowed slightly once again and mentally slurred, teaching a lowest level skill isn't exhausting like this, is this guy not a vase?

KEVIN then thought that this was Abyssal One, and it was no surprise that the mentor's strength was worse.

"Wait."

"Hmm?"

kevin turned back, a hint of doubt in his gaze, to the tutor, who had the perfect body and looks.

"Skills aren't learned and mastered, this is a pair of short swords I've used before, a sort of newbie pack."

As the words fell, the Assassin Tutor had already taken out a pair of short swords wrapped in black scabbards from one of the drawers of the desk and tossed them over.

"Uh, thanks."

With an overwhelmed look, kevin took the pair of short swords and thanked them again, bowing slightly before politely exiting the room.

"Privately imparting information other than the selected skills of an indentured servant, ten merit points are deducted!"

An ice-cold voice came out from the room among the assassin tutors.

"Interesting little guy, I hope I don't disappoint ..."

"Inexplicably ..."

kevin with a pair of short swords out of the career hall, and still feel that this assassin mentor is a little strange, in the guide to pass on the common language of the abyss, but did not say that the transfer will have a newbie weapon to give away, but instead to remind the contractors to buy weapons ...

"Skills that are not just learned, but have to be practiced to be perfectly mastered."

Kevin mused, raising the shortsword in his hand into the blood-colored sunlight, and finding a small line of words inscribed in the common language of the Abyss at the hilt!

"Katherine Sylvia Murphys ..."

"The name ... is a bit long."

kevin shook his head, that was probably the name of the assassin's mentor, were all the names of the guys from the Abyss so long?

Giving a strange look at the teenager who was still waiting quietly to receive the old man, kevin walked away with an odd expression on his face.

That guy, has he read too many third-rate novels and is ready to wait for that old man to give him a strange encounter?

Or does ... that old man have any secrets?

There were only two types of indentured servants who would come to the Career Hall, one was to come to transfer, the other was to learn skills;either way, they wouldn't be fools ah!

KEVIN shook the strange thoughts from his mind and headed straight to the Genus Strengthening Store in the Western District.

"..."

The short sword came out of its sheath without any sound coming out, and the body of the sword that was so black that it completely blended into the darkness seemed like a bottomless black hole, devouring all the light!

"Ding!"

Kevin gently intersected the two short swords, rubbing them together, and a sliver of dazzling sparks erupted out, the sharpness of the blade stern and internalized!

kevin even wondered if the blade of the sword, was able to cut straight through steel!

This pair of short swords gave kevin the feeling as if they were hidden vipers that could merge themselves into the darkness and then launch a fatal strike when they were looking for the perfect moment!

The short swords were very light, the two together shouldn't be more than five hundred grams, kevin held them in his hands yet they were very smooth, but, inevitably, a little raw!

"Sure enough, novels are all lies, how can you learn a skill and be as skillful as if you've rehearsed it a million times yourself ..."

Kevin mimicked the movements in his mind, and kept trying to wield the short sword, and gradually, a trace of familiar feeling arose from between his hands!

"Is this, really, just newbie equipment?"

Unconsciously, kevin has stepped into the West End, inserting his short sword back into the middle of the scabbard on his belt, a trace of doubt rising in his heart ...

The belt is an accessory to the two short swords, made of an unknown leather, also black and reflecting no luster!

Assassins, only darkness and shadows ...

The store was as conspicuous as the Career Hall, and its size, which was different from other huts, could be found in hundreds of square meters!

"Genus Enhancement Store ..."

kevin raised his eyes and swept over the signboard hanging above the gate, the ancient and mysterious Abyssal script seemed to carry some kind of inexplicable power, so that people couldn't help but be attracted to it!
