Description: Summons a hot spring that cures you of any skin condition. Bathing in it for half an hour daily gives you skin as soft and smooth as a baby's. The spring appears when the card is broken and returns to card form after use.
[Steal]
Description: Instantly snatches a random item from a target's possession. The item may range from weapons and valuables... to underwear. Success rate depends on the user's skill level, luck, and the target's awareness or resistance.
Shido read the description of the rewards he had receive from quest q and thought that the first reward is useful since he could summon a hot spring whenever he want and it even have good effect.
However, for the second one, Shido wasn't really sure how to respond. This skill was a really good skill but just a bit too perverted. When used in a man, it steals items from them, while if used in female... well, it could only steal one thing from them.
But all in all, both of his rewards this ti was quite good even if it's not an offensive skill or a weapon.
After that, Shido move his eyes to the newest skill he brought before he left the inn yesterday. This skill is really helpful in this world since many people have appraisal skill that can peek through a person's stats just like him.
But Shido wanted not to get too much unwanted attention from powerful beings in this world so he purchased this skill.
[Conceal]
Description: Masks the user's true stats and abilities, displaying false information to those using appraisal or detection skills.
Although this skill costed him 70,000 SP at Perfection Level, it was worth the price for Shido.
With a thought, Shido closed the system interface and watched Carne Village once again. He had to say that if it's so peaceful like this everyday then he might visit this village from ti to ti.
Shido closed his eyes and took in a relaxed breath while leaning on a tree. He was listening to the singing of birds and the sound of branches rustling with the blow of the wind. This is the first ti he travel to a world where there is no technology and the world is not yet polluted so Shido enjoyed this precious ti.
"Um, excuse ..."
Suddenly there was a soft voice from the side that made his eyes open. Shido already noticed this person before she ca close to him and thought that she was only curious about him since he was the only one that didn't have any companion or friend together with him, however it doesn't seem to be the case.
"Yes, is there sothing you need?" Shido slowly stood up and dusted the dirt from his clothes. He then watched this young girl that seed to be at least 16 to 17 years old. She had a lightly fair skin, with blonde hair and brown eyes. She wears woolen clothes and her hair tied into a braid. Shido had to say that she was quite cute.
"Ah, yes, I'm Enri Emmot, I am the current Chieftain of Carne Village." Enri introduced herself.
"Wow, that's amazing. You beca the Chieftain at such a young age." Shido praised her sincerely. Being a Chieftain on her teens, that ant she had the ability to be one since she was recognized by the people of the village.
"No, no, not at all. I was just made into the Chieftain by the rest of the villagers." Enri smiled helplessly recalling how they pushed her to beco the leader of this village. But rembering the things that happened before, it even costed the life of her parents and many other villagers, Enri beca more determined to do her best.
"That ans the people of this village had complete trust in you." Shido let out a sincere smile at Enri which caused her to blush slightly.
"My na is Acheval Dreissen by the way, nice to et you Emmot-san."
"It's nice to et you too, Dreissen-san, but you can just call Enri just like the others."
"Alright, then you could also call he by Acheval."
"Yes!"
The two talked to each other in various things. Enri was about to forget what she really ca for but Shido reminded her to Enri told him her real intension.
"Please teach how to fight!" Enri said seriously then she bowed her head at Shido.
Shido was surprised by her sudden action. Although he know that she ca for sothing, he didn't expect her to request him to teach.
"Why ? Momon-san should be better to teach you right?" Shido said helplessly.
"Yes, although Momon-san is strong, I felt that I would learn better if it's you. I don't know where I get that confidence but I know that you're an amazing adventurer." Enri said sincerely.
The first ti she saw Shido, she know that he was special.
"Are you sure?" Shido asked while he looked at Enri.
"Yes!" She then nodded firmly, not changing her decision.
"Alright. But I will only teach you the basics and until we before we leave the village."
"It's okay."
"Alright, let's start. But don't expect to be rciful since I will be strict in teaching you." Shido said calmly while revealing so pressure.
"Yes!" Enri however, wasn't faced and nodded her head.
"Good. Then first you should..."
Shido begun teaching Enri how to use sword. He explained to her that sword wasn't ant to kill but to protect which Enri took deeply in her mind. After that, Shido thought her the basics and other fundantal tactics when using the sword.
"Well, we should stop now since my friends are calling ." Shido said while looking at the distance. There he could see Peter, Lukrut and the others waving at him.
"I... see." Enri said disappointedly.
She was having fun being thought by Shido. Although he was quite hard sotis, Shido also gave her a gentle feeling that he care for her. He even massage her hand when it was bruised by taking a hit from Shido. If possible she really wanted him to teach her a little bit more but she knew that he still had a job to do so Enri could only let go of Shido.
"Haaa... Don't be sad." Shido sighed looking at this girl helplessly who was showing a reluctant and sad face.
"Yes. Sorry for bothering you and also, thank you for teaching ." Enri knew that she was being unreasonable so she quickly rub her face and smiled at Shido, but it still didn't completely remove the disappointed feeling in her face.
Seeing her cute face that was about to cry, Shido patted her head however he didn't expect her to suddenly tear up and hug him placing her face on his chest. Helpless, he could only hug her back while gently patting her back.
After crying from so ti, Enri finally cald down. She had an embarrassed look and her face were blushing madly. She cried in Shido's chest which was so embarrassing.
"I-I'm sorry for showing you my embarrassing side, Acheval-san."
"No, no. I'm glad that you can show that side of yours since that ant you trusted right? Showing your vulnerable side. I was just getting worried that you are all keeping your burden to yourself but seeing you like this. I know that you're very strong Enri."
"...Acheval-san." Enri was touched by what Shido said but she was also shy especially since Shido saw this side of her.
"Well, I should go now."
In the end, it still ca to this where they would part. Enri's eyes dimd for a but before returning to normal.
"Yes! Be safe out there, Acheval-san." Enri revealed a bright smile masking her sadness.
However, even though she tried to cover her sadness, Shido still sensed it through his observation haki.
"Enri, I have sothing for you."
Shido's words surprised Enri and she look curiously at the thing in Shido's hands forgetting all the sadness she felt.
Shido extend his hand and placed a sapphire ring with unique design and mysterious runes engrave to it into Enri's palm.
"This is..." Enri was surprised when she saw this ring, but the mont she saw this ring, she imdiately fallen in low with it. She like the design very much. Then Enri looked at Shido shyly and thought that Shido was proposing to her.
Shido felt sothing wrong with her gaze but he didn't think too much about it and explain the ring. "This ring is called the 'Heart of Ocean'. It is a defensive item that can block tier 6 and below attack."
When Enri heard Shido's words, she was shock since she didn't expect that Shido would give her such precious item.
"This is too precious, I can't accept it."
"This is just an item, it's value cannot be compared to you so please... accept it, alright?" Shido said sincerely. He didn't have any other intension when he said it to Enri. Shido just wanted her to be safe since no one can predict what will happen next in this world.
Enri blushed when she heard Shido's words and finally accepted the ring, placing the ring near her chest with both hands.
Shido then took out sothing again from who knows where. It was a rapier and a book. The na of the rapier was Lambent Light and the book was a book about the experience of soone called Asuna about rapier. With this Enri's skill will be much more polished.
Unlike before Enri accepted the Rapier and book Shido gave her.
"I will go now, Enri." Shido said goodbye to Enri then started to walk.
"Will you co back?" Enri gathered her courage and ask Shido. She was blushing madly since she was embarrassed but she stood firmly while holding the ring that Shido gave tightly in her hands.
Shido was silent for a mont before he nodded. "Yes, I would co again in the future. At that ti, show your growth."
Hearing his confirmation, Enri beca delighted and nodded excitedly. She replied determinedly "Yes, I will show you my progress and I will shock you at that ti."
"Good." Shido smiled seeing her determination. With a wave of his hand, Shido finally walked away.
