5-15: Another Level
Finally, in the morning, everyone was awake and doing their own things. And not a single person knew that Kazue was going to be carrying Veronica's child.
Veronica shook that thought from her head. After eating a hearty breakfast that Eleanora cooked, she decided to take a look at her status.
**STATUS**
Spirit;
Classification: Warrior
Name: Infernal Knight (Evolvable)
Level 3: EXP To Level 4 (0/5,000)
'I leveled already? That was quick. I expected another few months before leveling again... But sadly, no new skills. Maybe I need to Evolve the class? But how do I do that?'
ABILITIES:
Light Weapon Master [Evolvable], Become more proficient with One Handed Weapons. [2/4]: Upgradeable! Challenge: Defeat one hundred (100) opponents with an axe [100/100] Ready to Upgrade!
Next Upgrade: Bonus Damage with axes and axes are easier to handle, all weapons are easier to carry.
'Okay, new weapon usage, that's good, I'll be upgrading that.'
Succubus Spellcraft, Gain access to magic that only Succubi can use [3/4]: Current Upgrade; You can now delve into the subconscious of unconscious creatures by performing a ritual, as well as spells from previous upgrades. Upgradeable! Challenge: Impregnate five (5) non-human creatures [2/5]
Next Upgrade: All forms of demonic magic can be performed without the use of a catalyst or chant.
'Well, that just proves that kazue is... pregnant...'
Veronica couldn't help but blush at the thought. She's at the school for less than half a year, and she's already got a harem with a daughter and an expecting mother.
Either way, she cleared her mind and upgraded Light Weapon Master.
Light Weapon Master [Evolvable], Become more proficient with One Handed Weapons. [3/4]: Upgradeable! Challenge: Defeat one hundred (150) opponents with a sword [1/150] Ready to Upgrade!
Next Upgrade: Bonus Damage with swords and swords are easier to handle, enchanted weapons are 50% more effective.
'Fifty percent more effective? That... sounds a bit too powerful. And expensive. I do not have the money need to buy an enchanted weapon or even get enchantments placed on one.'
Veronica silently wished that she had more skills to upgrade. Though, she also hadn't completed more challenges yet. Maybe... maybe Eleanora would agree to helping her upgrade Charm.
Veronica shook her head, the scandals that would arise... but Eleanora seemed like she would be fine with it... It was something she would be questioning for a while.
She didn't feel any stronger, but she she was now able to use another weapon. What could come after? Spears? Flails? Bec de Corbyn?
Either way, she thought what she needed to do next. Preferably, she'd want new armor that could go in use with Reckless Fighting. She also needs a sword. But what kind? Short sword? Arming? Bastard? A war sword? There were too many choices. Perhaps asking the few sword professionals she knows would help.
First person in her sight was Eleanora. So she walked up and tapped her on the shoulder.
"Hm? What's the matter, Veronica?"
"Well, I upgraded a skill and wanted your input."
"Alright, what is it?"
"Well, I can use swords better with it, so I was wondering which one I should use."
"Hm... well, I've been using the rapier because that's what I was trained with. I've never even held any other kind of sword. So... the best advice I can give you is something that feels comfortable for you to hold and fight with. Sorry for not being too helpful."
"No, no, you helped plenty!" Veronica reassured her with a quick kiss on the cheek.
Eleanora didn't respond, but she grew a slight smile before returning to what she was doing.
So, the next person would be Seraph. She was in her room at the moment.
With a quick movement Veronica reached her room and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Seraph said through the door.
Veronica opened the door and took a step into the room before turning red.
Seraph was stark naked, in the middle of putting her panties on.
"W-Why did you allow me to come in if you were getting changed?"
"Because we're all girls? I'm very confident in my body too. I have nothing to be ashamed of." Seraph said seriously as she had started to put on her bra. "Anyways, what did you need?"
"Um.. w-well..." Veronica had to find the words as the image of a naked Seraph was trying to get her going again. "One of my skills allows me to use various weapons easier. I upgraded it, and now I can use swords. So, I wondered if you had any advice..."
"Well first, do you perfer fighting with one hand only, two hands, or a mix of both?"
"I'm... not sure."
"Well, then we could practice with different swords. I've got a few of each. We can start in about... an hour, if you want."
"Sure, that's great!" Veronica exclaimed as she subconsciously burned the image into her mind.
She had planned to find Tisha, as she could probably help as well. It also has been a while since she's seen her. Perhaps later, when she roughly knows which hold she's more comfortable with.
