Ren gave a nod as he listened to Lucian, before hearing Lucian's last bit of advice as he seemed to be worried about Ren. Why was he so worried, it seemed strange, but it wasn't a bad thing. "Don't worry. If possession is a Mental status then we should be immune to it thanks to the Gamer's Mind Skill... " That was one of the many benefits of their their power. They couldn't get terrified or panicked about anything thanks to that Skill, which was nice as it meant that no matter the situation, they could always stay calm, cool, and collected, which was great for negotiating situations. "Still, thanks for the warning anyway, ill be sure to be careful."

Ren had grown to somewhat trust Lucian a bit more. Of course, there was still that distance there that he kept for everyone, but it wasn't 'as there' as much between him and Lucian thanks to more recent events. Kinda like leveling up a Social Link in Persona one could guess, and it was something that Ren had noticed in the more recent time they had spent together, but still, there was always going to be a wall that would always be there between him and everyone else of the 3D world, no matter what. 

Eventually after a bit more small talk, Ren actually contributing a bit here and there now unlike before, they arrived at Ren's house, the boy looking up at Lucian and giving a very small, brief, and momentary smile that one would have had to pay close attention for or miss it, this gesture making Ren's head turn away slightly. "Thanks for walking me home again..." After that, Ren went back inside. 

First, Ren made dinner, the Craft Skill helping again. He honestly had no idea what to do with this Skill since he didn't know how to make anything useful. Still, it was nice to have, and perhaps once he had more time he could figure something out. For now, it was one of those skills that he never used. It was late, around 9:00 PM, a little too late to try anything new, so he decided to just first learn the Demonology Skill Book, then spend the next few hours reading that book he got from the auction for free as a free gift from the Dealer. After that, while keeping Undine summoned, he began to read from the Tips and Tricks book in his inventory about water magic.

Water Magic Book Reading (Ritual Water Magic): 4 (Critical)

A few hours of reading until midnight and he was already halfway done with the book. It was really easy to understand and the information just flew off the pages and into Ren's mind. His high Int was really something else, it going up again by +1 when Summon Elemental got to Level 10 that night, giving him a few extra things. This power was really incredible. After sticking his new Talent Point from reaching 36 Int into Demonology and putting the water magic book away, he decided to hit the hay for tonight, since he wanted to get up early for some solo grinding. Sure Saito's place was nice, but he had some things he wanted to try and he couldn't rely on Saito all of the time. He was sure that if he just stayed in his own back yard for training, then he couldn't be touched by Hunters.

The rest of the night for everyone else, unless they planned to do something, went uneventful and soon enough it would be the next morning. With it being Wednesday and Sunday being the deadline for the Quest, they had alot of time for training, but also not a whole lot of time at all.
