God's an Adventurer: Volume I

Chapter 7- Training the Companion

"So just swing the sword like this and, Blade Rush!" Kami explained as he swung his sword with all his might.

The force of the sword hit a couple of trees breaking them and making them fall. Himari looked in amazement as she held her sword up.

"W-wow that's so cool! Do you think I could really learn that?"

"Of course, don't see why not?"replied Kami.

Himori attempted the same stance Kami had before swinging her sword and jumping forward only to fall face flat onto the ground.

"What are you two idiots doing?" spoke a voice from behind.

It was Hiromichi who had just woken up. He was tied up sitting next to a tree as he stared at them with an angry expression.

"Oh, good you're awake. I figure I would teach some of my skills to this little companion of mines but it doesn't seem to be working. Is it just some time kind of thing or is there an easier way?"

"Tsk! What the hell?! What kind of skill user doesn't know how to teach others a skill, especially one who can swing a sword like that and kill a chimera in one shot?! You must be joking!!" he yelled out in anger as he swung his feet around.

"Hmmm... tell you what you tell me how to work this whole skill thing out and I'll let you out of your ropes but only after you tell me how. I do hope you don't try to run away, after all if you do back in the ropes you go." replied Kami.

"You serious? Ha! It's a deal! Okay listen closely idiot, there's a few ways to teach someone a skill the way you're going about it right now is probably the slowest and it's not guaranteed, seeing someone use a skill repeatedly will increase the chances of someone learning it. The second best by far is to channel the information to them, but that will require them to have ten times the amount of resource that the skill costs, good luck teaching the little girl with that!" he smirked.

"Hmmm, and the best option?" asked Kami

"Well that one is morally on you. Making them your permanent companion until you release them from their bind. It combines the second option along with it but makes it easier. It will only cost five times the amount but on the bright side you can toggle Stat Share or something like that." informed Hiromichi

"Stat Share? Come on don't make me ask like that just spit it out." demanded Kami

"Tsk! Excuse me for thinking you would know this crap! It's not exactly classified information among skill users! Stat Sharing is something the binder can toggle in their passive skills on their bonded companions. It will give a five percent stat boost to the companions based around his stats. It's like a power up. Makes it even easier to learn skills as well the more they see it." replied Hiromichi

"And that's really the best way for this?" asked Kami suspiciously.

"Well there's always scrolls. Some merchants and guilds give the more common ones for free or a small prize but there's always scrolls out there that are incredibly rare. Once someone uses the scroll though it disappears permanently; are you sure you're an adventurer or something? This is all common information why the hell would you be asking me this?" questioned Hiromichi.

Kami looked at Himari starting at him before walking up to her and smiling.

"Do you want to wait for us to get some scrolls instead? I'm not sure how comfortable you are with being bonded to me." he asked her.

She shook her head and with a panic face replied.

"I-I don't care! I want to get strong like you so I can defend people like a real hero. As long as Mister Kami doesn't do anything mean I-I don't mind!"
