Chapter 19: Always Wear Protection

"Sixty-four. As in a six, followed by a four."

"Yep!"

"As in fourteen above fifty, six less than seventy, twice..."

Peter elbowed Monica in her side, and she finally stopped asking the same question on repeat.

"...explains some things," Bruce murmured to himself, before addressing Kat. "We're honored with your trust, but I assume you have a reason for sharing this with us?"

It was the next morning, and Bruce's team had once again met up with Kat to train. She hadn't wasted any time, jumping straight into an explanation of her level, an abbreviated description of her time in the nether-realm, and what she needed help with.

"Yeah! My stats are almost all even across the board, and Lester and Brevon suggested yesterday that I should maybe change my build from a mage-slash-healer into a mage-slash-fighter hybrid. Since, you know, my current skills aren't working and my stats aren't the best for a mage," Kat explained. "And well...I was wondering if you had any advice on what skills I should get? Or, I guess, just advice in general. Do you think it's a good idea?"

She, Brevon, and Lester had the evening before looked through the guild's registry of skills that were available for trade. The skills themselves were actually stored at the guild headquarters, and once she made her choice it would take a day for them to be portalled over to her. The list only got updated once a week, so there was a small chance that it was out of date...but there were a LOT of skills.

Kat's head had already started to spin after just a minute of looking through line after line after line of skills. And then Lester had turned the page.

Some of them, like [trap detection] or [basic heal], were easily eliminated. Others were eliminated simply based on price -- she didn't even know you could pay that much for skills. And others she simply didn't feel as if they would fit her. As cool as [blinding light] sounded, glowing so brightly that enemies wouldn't be able to look in her direction, it wasn't a skill that appealed to her on a personal level.

Which was something Lester insisted was important. It wouldn't matter for quite a while yet, but with only ten skill slots and each skill acquired being permanent (aside from some very rare and special circumstances), she should pick skills that she wouldn't grow to eventually regret.

This brought up another point: Lester and Brevon had presented the idea of a mage-fighter hybrid build as a way for her to take advantage of her balanced stats and contribute to the team. Which certainly had some appeal; she had been sad every time she was forced to allocate stats to something other than mind to survive in the nether-realm, and relished the idea that those stats hadn't been 'wasted'. And of course she wanted to contribute more to her team, which she had to admit her current skills weren't accomplishing very well. They had worked reasonably
