41. An apprentice

"Sexdusa... ACTIVATE!"

I grinned to myself. If she didn't want to let me smash willingly, then I had no choice but to resort to my skill.

But...

"A taste of what? Don't get cocky on me, boy." Rose said, standing up.

I ignored her words, thinking she was now under my control, and confidently approached her, slipping an arm around her waist and pulling her close.

SMACK!

A thunderous slap rang across my face.

"What do you think you're doing, human?"

"I—uhm." I stammered, blinking in confusion.

Why wasn't my skill working!

[Warning: The Sexdusa skill won't work on Rose.]

[Reason: She's too strong. To make it work, you need to level up the skill.]

I groaned. "The heck! You didn't tell me skills had levels!"

[Duh.]

"Can't I just level it up with points?"

[Nope. Only way to level up a skill is by using it repeatedly.]
