Chapter 5 Street Fighter
He summoned the skill window, and immediately noticed a new icon, which was a high-heeled shoe made of glass. This caused him to facepalm.
'Oh. My. God.'
Clicking on it, a window appeared. The skill was called <The Cinderella Effect>.
"Mana cost: 50."
"Cooldown: Once per day. Refreshes at Midnight Local Time."
"Pre-requisites: A dropped shoe within a 4 meter radius of the target."
"Description: Upon casting this spell on a target, the target will be forced to chase after the shoe's owner for one *sole* reason; to fit the shoe onto the user's leg. This spell will last until the target successfully fits a shoe onto the user or the user cancels it. With a strong will (Wisdom), the target can resist this spell. To cast, utter the words: It's already 12 O' Clock!"
Riley closed this window, his palm still on his face. He realized his ability to absorb a skill from a book was similar to in-game methods of learning techniques.
This method had completely slipped his mind. He had, in fact, been planning to actually read and train from the books he was looking for.
He never would have guessed that all he needed to do was touch them to fully absorb all the knowledge.
Riley headed off to the martial art section. The only way he could fight against Jake was using his fists. Bashing his face in with his bat would be much more satisfying, but it would also earn him an express ticket to the principal's office.
As he looked through the martial art section, he found one of the books he was looking for. The moment he grabbed it, a window popped out.
"You have obtained the skill book {Art of Aikido}. Would you like to learn the skills?"
This time, he made sure he looked at the screen properly before clicking "Decline".
Smiling, he looked around before finding another book, {Basic Punching Techniques}.
Picking this up, he declined the window and proceeded onwards.
After a few minutes of searching, he finally found everything he was looking for. Books in hand, Riley went to the counter.
As he was about to pay, he grabbed his wallet and realized he had deposited everything into his inventory. He whispered "Inventory".
The inventory window appeared, and he dragged it near to his pocket to make it look like he was pulling the cash from his pocket.
Before paying for the books, Riley felt a small tinge of guilt for stealing the fairy tale story book. However, this was quickly overwritten by the excitement of the prospect of learning new skills.
After paying for the books, he exited the shop. As he walked through the street, he touched one of the books, and a window appeared, saying, "You obtained a skill book {Art of Aikido}. Would you like to learn this skill?"
This time, he smiled and clicked "Accept".
A new window appeared, saying, "Skill(s) successfully learnt!"
