I sifted through the clothing I was given and wore it. It took a bit to put it on, as I have not worn clothing like it for a while.
("Is there a mirror sowhere around here?") [Solace]
I looked around the storage room, only to see wooden imitations of swords, spears, and many other kinds of weapons.
("Just so training equipnt and a few wooden dummies... Guess I'll just head out.") [Solace]
As I reached out for the door, an idea popped into my head.
("Hold up. If there's no mirror, how about I make one?") [Solace]
I wasn't sure if the plan was going to work, but it was worth a try.
"|Liquid Bullet|." [Solace]
I summoned a small droplet of water that should have been shot at an opponent, though instead, I held it in place.
("I need more.") [Solace]
"|Liquid Bullet|." [Solace]
Continuing with my train of thought, a few more droplets appeared out of thin air.
("More.") [Solace]
The droplets continued to appear, until there was enough to make lose count.
"You have acquired |Liquid Barrage|." [Spirit Guide]
("Oh?") [Solace]
I didn't think sothing like that could create a skill, but I guess anything works.
("How about this?") [Solace]
I rged all the liquid bullets together, creating a puddle floating in mid air.
"You have acquired |Convergence|." [Spirit Guide]
("Two in a row.") [Solace]
Things were getting even better. At first, I was just trying to get a reflection out of a puddle of water. Now, I have two more skills.
("Okay, that aside... How do I look?") [Solace]
I peered into the puddle to see myself. I wore sothing similar to what Fina would usually wear. A blue blazer with a white shirt inside strung together by a red tie at my neck. I also had black pants on with white socks Leyhna graced with.
("...Where's the shoes?") [Solace]
I looked through the bags once again, but shoes were nowhere to be seen.
("Am I hallucinating? Did I drop it sowhere?") [Solace]
I scanned the floor for anything that was... shoe shaped. Basically anything that was of decent size, and the shape of an oval.
("Nothing? Really?") [Solace]
I let out a sigh. There wasn't anything I could do about it so I headed to the door.
"Ah, I almost forgot. |Fla Cannon|." [Solace]
Launching a singular ball of fla, I evaporated the puddle I had created.
"Now I can go." [Solace]
Pushing through the doors, Leyhna and Vincent greeted with observing eyes.
"...What do you think, uncle?" [Leyhna]
"Pretty decent. I think I know sothing else that would fit him." [Vincent]
"You always say that." [Leyhna]
I was a bit nervous as to what they would say, so I just shrugged and asked them.
"So? Rate it out of ten. How does it look?" [Solace]
"Five." [Leyhna]
"Eight." [Vincent]
I wasn't expecting much, but I didn't think I would get a five.
"Uh... Why a five?" [Solace]
"Minus two points for face, minus two for lack of muscle, and minus one point for being a loser." [Leyhna]
"That's harsh..." [Solace]
True, my muscle definition was lacking. Since it took the appearance of my past life, I was pretty skinny even though I was seemingly six feet tall.
"Okay, what about the eight?" [Solace]
"The clothes." [Vincent]
Leyhna placed a palm on her face. It appeared that she was quite familiar with Vincent's... sense of fashion?
"Alright, enough goofing around. Solace, break the wall." [Vincent]
"Sure, but one thing." [Solace]
I pointed down to my feet and wiggled my toes.
"Shoes. Where are they?" [Solace]
Leyhna looked at with a shrug.
"Couldn't be helped. I don't know your size." [Leyhna]
"Couldn't you have gotten a few sizes?" [Solace]
"What, you want to get you size one through twelve? Unlike clothes, you don't have small, dium, or large." [Leyhna]
I closed my mouth after that one. It had been ingrained in since my past life to not waste money, and that most definitely sounded like a waste of money.
"...Fine. I'll get back to breaking the wall." [Solace]
I approached the wall and placed a hand on it. I could feel the coldness of the brick going through my palm, sothing I couldn't feel as a spirit.
"Uh... I'm supposed to use physical strength since magic doesn't work against it right?" [Solace]
"Mhm." [Vincent]
"Mind telling why Leyhna used fire magic to punch the wall?" [Solace]
Vincent glanced at Leyhna, then back to .
"It also enhances strength. How does it enhance it? Don't ask . I didn't pay attention when I took magical theory classes." [Vincent]
"Fair enough." [Solace]
Recalling what skills I had on my status board, I casted a few spells to help .
"|Enchant Fla|." [Solace]
Flas erupted around my fists, coiling them as if they were alive.
"Hm?!" [Vincent]
His eyes widened in surprise. I wasn't too sure of why, but it didn't bother enough to stop.
"|Reinforce|!" [Solace]
A dim blue light shone around my body, and I began to feel a bit stronger.
"Hmmm?!?!" [Vincent]
Those two skills were the only skills I had that buffed , so I attacked the wall with sothing I learnt recently.
"|Blazing Fist|!" [Solace]
I smashed the wall in with burning fury, causing chunks of bricks to fly out as I blew a hole wide open in the wall.
"HMMMM?!?!" [Vincent]
