Once he had finished going through his daily morning routine, Valyr made his way to the cafeteria and ate a bit of light breakfast. After that, he made his way to Damian's office, the thoughts he had co up with last night lingering in his mind.
"Co in." Hearing the ever familiar voice on the other side after knocking on the door, Valyr let himself into the room, with Damian watching him enter as he seed to be doing nothing for the day. "So, what brings you here, Valyr? Does it have sothing to do with the Reinforcent Elixir?"
In response to the question, Valyr shook his head. Nevertheless, it did make him think of the progress the two had made regarding the elixirs since he had introduced them to him.
For one, both Tristan and Damian had already ingested one vial each of the two elixir types, with the notifications they received supporting the claim Valyr made back then. With this renewed confidence, they asked Vera if she could concoct more of the Basic Reinforcent Elixirs, to which she replied that they would have to pay for her ti.
Though her response was a far contrast to how she responded to Valyr's request back then, Tristan and Damian did not mind forking up the cost since she was the only one among them who had the skills and the knowledge to concoct the elixirs. When Valyr and Tristan t up yesterday thanks to the forr's forging spree, Valyr was updated on the progress of the two regarding the elixirs, being told that they were already about halfway to obtaining the passive skill.
Realizing that his train of thought had andered off to another path as he stared out into nothingness, Valyr lightly coughed as he looked back at Tristan, recalling all of the thoughts he pondered over last night. With that, he went ahead and told Damian the thought that needed the latter's help the most. "I actually ca to here to ask if it was possible to get a skill from the contribution point shop from you?"
Ignoring the fact that Valyr seemingly blanked out for a minute or so, Damian nodded in response to the question. "Considering that you headed straight to , I presu it's a skill that needs you to be at the [Guard Leader] rank to be able to buy it, right?"
Seeing Valyr nod at his question, he nodded back before opening up a screen before him, perusing through the list of skills in the contribution point shop. "Well, in comparison to what you're doing for the village's future with the knowledge of the Reinforcent Elixirs, helping you get a skill from the shop is only a drop in the bucket."
"But of course, for the sake of fairness, you'll have to fork up the points needed to buy it. All I'm doing is helping you bypass the prerequisite," he soon added, to which Valyr nodded in agreent. "So, what skill are you planning to get?"
"The [Serpent Steps Movent Style]," Valyr said in response, recalling making up his mind on getting this skill last night. With how his current combat style and the movent style he was going to get both had the sa first word, one might be inclined to think that the two skills were connected sohow.
Well, if one were to think that way, then they would be correct.
In fact, Valyr could vividly rember that the [Serpent Spear Combat Style] would only show its true colors when used in tandem with the [Serpent Steps Movent Style], allowing the user to not only move like a serpent, but attack like a serpent at all. With the two skills working together, its might was comparable to most Uncommon grade combat styles, and even a couple Uncommon grade combat styles.
The might the two had together was the reason why Valyr had chosen to obtain the skills in his past life, with the subclass that was related to it being a bonus. Then again, the fact that the skills had a set upgrade path was also a bonus.
Hearing Valyr's choice, Damian asked him one more ti if he was certain of his choice before nodding. After that, while interacting with the screen before him, he told Valyr to give him the contribution points needed to buy the skill. Of course, with most of the contribution points Valyr got as a reward from the monster tide, he had more than enough to cover the cost of the skill, prompting a notification to appear on a screen in front of him not long after.
Ding!

"Did you get the movent style because you have the accompanying combat style?" Closing up the screen before him, Damian looked at Valyr and asked this question. In response, Valyr lightly nodded as he closed the screen in front of him as well.
"Well, it's definitely a good combination to have, that's for sure." Seeing Valyr nod at his question, Damian took it as a cue to continue talking. "Then again, I do find it peculiar that you've only decided to grab the movent style now and not back then, even though you also had enough contribution points to buy it back then."
"In fact, I think I wouldn't have minded giving it to you as a gift after the monster tide if you asked." With this thought in mind, he looked at Valyr with slightly narrowed eyes, finding the thought suspicious, yet at the sa ti feeling as if there was sothing more to it.
Feeling as if Damian wouldn't let the matter pass that easily, Valyr bitterly smiled in response, deciding to be completely honest about it. "Well… it completely slipped past my mind at the ti."
"Then again, if I did think of getting the movent style back then, I still wouldn't have gotten it since I didn't want to abuse your kindness," he continued. "Plus, I think I would stand out too much if I got two Special Skills while I was still Rank 0."
Listening to Valyr's words, Damian could not help but be confused by the forr's final statent. Nevertheless, he more or less understood where he was coming from, though that ca at a cost of slight ntal gymnastics. Nodding soti later, he then focused his attention on Valyr once more, noticing that the latter didn't seem to have any intentions of leaving the office just yet. "Is there sothing else you want to tell ?"
"There is." Valyr nodded. "I'm heading to Clossbay City for a while to do so things. Just wanted to give you a heads-up."
"The heads-up is always appreciated." Damian nodded back before telling Valyr that he was free to take as much ti as he wanted. In response to that, Valyr asked him if it was possible for him to inform Tristan of what he had told him, eliciting a light chuckle to escape Damian's mouth as he nodded soon after.
With that, Valyr thanked Damian and turned around to leave the office. Though, just as he was about to do so, a thought popped up in Damian's mind as he recalled sothing that had sothing to do with Clossbay City, prompting him to stop Valyr from heading out any further. "Ah, wait just a second, Valyr. I just rembered sothing."
"You're heading to Clossbay City, right?" Damian asked for clarification, to which Valyr nodded in response with a hint of puzzlent. Seeing the latter nod, he then opened up his screen and interacted with it a bit as a notification appeared in Valyr's mind soon after. "Since that's the case…"
Ding!
