"I have promised you benefits in return for your blood," Claudia said. "I always keep my promise. Therefore, I allow you to access my library, but… I only allow you to get one book. You cannot take a peek at each of them. You can only read their titles and then pick one."
"Alright," Tom replied.
Claudia looked at him up and down. "Even though you already learned a legendary skill, that is still not enough for what you about to face in the future. You need a skill that makes it hard for someone else to kill you."
"How did you know I learned a legendary skill?"
"Doesn't matter. Hino, bring him there."
"Yes, big sister!" Hino grabbed Tom's finger and bring him into a hallway.
As they were walking, Hino looked at Tom and asked: "Big brother Tom, do you like sister Claudia?"
"Do I like her? Hmmm, I am not sure. Well, I don't hate her."
"Emmm, sister Claudia seems to really like big brother a lot."
"You think so?" Tom wondered what of Claudia's behavior made Hino think that way.
