Lucas looked again at the system screen, where the condition for copying the skating skill was clearly described:
[Condition for Copying: Make Ethan fall on the ice rink].
He clenched his fists and looked away. "It's not like I'm going to really hurt the guy... and it doesn't have to be so direct. If I make him lose his balance somehow, technically, I'm not doing anything wrong... right?"
The moral dilemma burned inside him, but the desire not to be left behind spoke louder. He needed a plan.
Lucas continued to crawl around the rink, observing his surroundings. There were children skating near the edge, some holding on, others gliding with ease. And then he noticed something: a small group of teenagers playing at pushing each other lightly to see who could keep their balance.
Lucas had an idea.
