Chapter 31: Massacre in Forest
We finally arrived at the forest. The air was still as chilly as ever, despite the place looking like it had been plucked straight out of a fantasy painting, towering green trees, thick underbrush, and all sorts of chirping.
"Bob, I want to talk about something," I said, the thought lingering in my mind since I got this power.
"What’s up, dude?"
"I think... we’re getting too dependent on the Hero Grace skill," I admitted. "Last time we fought the Black Eagle, we barely got out alive, like very barely."
"But that skill is awesome, man! And it’s Ultra Rare!" Bob argued, clearly offended on behalf of his favorite hissatsu skill.
"I know, Bob. Believe me, I get the appeal. But hear me out." I sighed. "When I used it the first time, I could tell, I handled it better than you. But even then, against that Phoenix girl, I was on the losing side the longer the fight dragged on. What if, in the future, someone figures out how to counter it? That skill isn’t invincible... and when it fails, it’s not going to end in a slap on the wrist. It could spell doom for us."
Bob was in deep thinking.
"So what do you suggest?"
This dude... how can he not think better than me even though he has that sacred checklist or whatever.
I sighed.
"We need a more solid foundation,more classes, more skills. Not just one flashy trick and hope for the best.Today, we will try all our other skills and train with them."
