Silver Sword convened at the otherwise empty training grounds at guild headquarters, a wide-open space made like an arena.
“The fighting tournament is coming up soon,” said Jade. “We took care of the quest at the Great Plains, so now we have a while to focus on practicing to win the fighting tournament.”
There with him was Lululee Ashford, their healer, and their rear attacker, Lowe Losblender.
Lululee tilted her head in confusion upon hearing Jade’s plan. “But what are we going to do for practice? We don’t have our frontline attacker, Alina.”
“Could we be practicing composite skills?” Lowe asked.
Jade nodded. “To be honest, what we should be prioritizing right now is preparing ourselves for more battles with dark gods.”
“So that was what this was about? Well, we can already activate your and my composite skills perfectly. Which means…”
“Ugh. I still can’t even activate one at all,” said Lowe.
“If we can combine our skills with Lowe’s, we should be able to make a pretty powerful composite skill,” said Jade. “We might be able to control it better indoors, which could give us an edge against the dark gods… Could you work with me until we can activate it?”
Lowe’s skill, Sigurth Ashinu, boasted a high firepower and was said to be second to none among Sigurth skills. Jade figured that if they could make it into a composite skill, it would be a reliable weapon against the dark gods. Plus, by using Jade’s skill as an intermediary, they might be able to rein in Sigurth Ashinu’s tendency to go out of control and expand until it was satisfied. Just finding out how to use it in cramped dungeon spaces would be useful.
“I know, okay?” Though Lowe grumbled, the corners of his lips curled up, as if he were somehow enjoying himself. “I’ll play with you as much as you want today.”
