Ikrel city tour (2)

We still aren't done touring the city, Fumiko offered herself to be our guide here.

"Hikaru, let's go to the weapon and skill shops next. Maybe there is something that you can buy there and use yourself, or maybe Hana can get a new weapon there. Don't worry about the cost, I will be paying for you 2"- Fumiko continued to walk around and explore every little corner of the town, or at least what she can explore in a few minutes.

We stopped in front of a store where it writes ^ Clothing store ^

"So, we are looking to buy new clothes huh?"- Looking at the sign of the shop it had piqued my interest, we do need some new clothes

"Well, there is something that you like in there Hikaru, so why not try to see what's in there!"- Me and Hana hurried to the shop.

"Hello, you 3. What might you want in this shop?"- The woman that is working at the clothes shop greeted us with a warm smile.

"We are just browsing"- The woman looked down at Fumiko, her height makes her look like a kid, she sometimes acts like one. How do I get her to stop acting like a child for an extended period?

!The answer is to have something to control her mana, she currently thinks like a childish adult but if you have her control our mana she will be able to stay in the mental age of 22 for a longer period!

"So, in theory, if there is an object that can absorb her overflowing mana then she will be able to stay in the 22 mental age for longer?"- Is there something else that can be done?

!There is one thing that can be done. We can have her acquire more skills. Let me explain how skills work in this world!- Sia paused for a second.

"Ok, I will let you explain"- I looked around the clothes shop, there are many choices. I settle on a black cape and some black shoes, Hana buys some white pants, a green coat, and brown shoes.

It's a good idea to pick some other type of clothes like pajamas for us to wear at night, I took a pair for the 2 of us, 1 pair for the hotter seasons and 1 pair for the colder seasons. In total 4 pairs of pajamas were bought, plus what we had chosen previously.

!I am ready to tell you how skills work in this world. Skills are embedded in your souls once you receive them, the more mana you have the more skills you can have, once you obtained a skill your maximum mana is reduced but you can use it for a very little mana cost. Fumiko has a small amount of skills right now but she will need a lot more to combat the amount of mana she has. I suggest you use predator and absorb as many monster skills and share them with Fumiko!- This might do the trick.

"How do we get skills from monsters if monster hunting is illegal around these parts unless you have permission of the lord"- Everyone is staring at me while I am drifting off and speaking to Sia, Hana is the only one that can hear the conversation

"Hikaru, I think you already realized people are watching in this shop haven't you?"- Hana spoke over the telepathic link with me.

"Yes, sorry"

I snapped out of it and got out of the shop, I stored the clothes in my spatial storage, we are now going to the skill shop to see what skills we can buy and then learn from the shop.

"What brings you here?"- This time a man is running a shop, he is looking a little bit older, maybe in his middle 40s, and reminds me of one of my school teachers.

"Well, we are looking for some skills, what skills do you have here?"- Fumiko is looking with curiosity at the skill scrolls.

"Well, we might have some good skills, but without telling me what you need them for it will be harder for me to say which skill is good for you 3"- The man looked at Fumiko and then at Hana and lastly looked at me.

!We can get one of the skills that Hana needs to unlock the Legendary Skill Shadow Frenzy. You need to get the skills named Spatial Movement, Godspeed, and Shadow Run.!

"Sir, do you have by chance either one of these skills? Spatial Movement, Godspeed, and Shadow Run?"- The man looked at us for a second and then went into the back of the shop to look for some skills.

"Yes, but only 1 of them, Spatial Movement is the only skill that I have a scroll for, you need to try somewhere else to see if they have the Godspeed skill. The skill Shadow Run is evolved from the skill Shadow Walk which evolves from Shadow Step which evolves from the skill Insidious. If you already have that skill you should be able to unlock the skill you want rapidly"- The old timer knows his stuff.

"I already have that skill. Thank you for the skill scroll"- Hana bowed and then learned the skill from the scroll.

#Hana has learned the skill: Spatial Movement#

Fumiko paid for the skill.

"Hey, sir, do you have a skill that is very powerful?"- He then looked at me with a confused look.

"I do have one, but you need a lot of mana to be able to use the skill. It's called Meteor Havoc"- He looked at me with apprehension.

"That sounds like a cool name, can I keep the skill Hikaru?"- Fumiko looked at me with puppy eyes.

"Sure, the skill is for you in the first place to defend yourself Fumiko"- Her eye lit up and she paid the full price of the skill, the shop owner handed the skill to Fumiko rather cautiously.

"Ok, don't cause any Havoc in the city with it please"- The man pleaded with Fumiko.

"Why would I use such a dangerous skill that is only for self-defense to cause havoc in the city?"

"Well, you do seem like a little kid so"

"I am 22 years old. I am an adult capable of making an informed decision"

!It's working, her mental age is increasing from 15 to 20 years old!

"Thank goodness that it's working.

"Ok, you 3 take care!"- The man waved us off. When we had gone outside the day is still on. We have much more to explore in the city of Ikrel.

!You have around 7 hours of daylight left to explore everything that there is to explore in Ikrel city.

I wonder, where to next?
