Valerie’s Determination

After dinner, Lux returned to his room. Sitting on his bed, he was currently looking at the four Skill Books in front of him.

These were the Skill Books that he had acquired from his previous quests. He held off using them until now.

The reason for this was simple.

Great General Sherlock had mentioned in passing that learning skills from Skill Books would give him better returns the higher his Rank when he used them.

"Skill Books are like Beast Cores, Lux," Great General Sherlock had told him back then. "The stronger the Monster, the better. This will allow you to learn rarer and more powerful skills that you won't be able to acquire when your Rank is low."

Because of this, he had held back in activating these Skill Books until he became a Ranker.

'Let's do this,' Lux thought as he picked up one Skill Book after the other, adding four new Skills to his ever growing list.
