Chapter 13: Spar
'As it says, for now, it's useless to train in body refining, so I'll focus on swordsmanship instead. It should help me cut through orcs more easily if I level up my swordsmanship skill.'
'Now that I think about it, how does the "additional damage" work? I have two multipliers to my sword damage. The first is 10% from my swordsmanship, but I also get an additional 30% from the Sword Master Class. So, are these additive or multiplicative?'
"Records, do you have an answer?"
[The same type of bonus is additive, not multiplicative.]
'Hmm, that makes sense. If they were multiplicative, you could stack several skills that boost the same thing, like eight skills giving a 100% increase each, and that would be of the same strength than someone with a single skill giving a 256x boost. It's obvious which option would be easier to get.'
"System, I'd like to train with Kiara in swordsmanship, martials arts and footwork at the same time. Can I get a teacher at peak human ability, like last time?"
[Request possible for 40 LP per hour.]
"Okay, but is it possible to pay per hour while I'm in the training room instead of paying upfront?"
[Yes, it's possible.]
"Records, set that as the default from now on."
[Preference modified.]
