When the boy looked at her with pleading eyes Belle only made a small gesture, encouraging him to go forward. “It can’t really hurt you.” She assured him, since a lot of new players often feared that being attacked would actually hurt, but the game had a pain absorber so even if he got an arm cut off in game he wouldn’t feel a thing. Even so she did draw out her bow once he’d turned away to make sure she could cover him in case it proved too much. Whilst his technique could certainly use some work he seemed to get a decent enough grasp on it.

She put her bow away once she was sure he was going to win. Once the wolf was defeated and he turned to her the girl gave him a reassuring smile as she walked over. “See? Easy. You did great.” She assured him, wrapping her arm around his shoulders and giving him a brief squeeze. “Here’s a little trick though, if you have the time, when you’re preparing to strike, hold your attack for just a moment.” She drew out her dagger to demonstrate, holding it neutrally at first but then moving into a motion where she could attack from but pausing once it was about to come forward.

“Then your weapon will glow a little and you’ll hear this small noise and then like a ting, and the tip of your weapon will gleam, you’ll feel it too, so eventually you can do it all by feel rather than waiting for the external indicators. Once that happens you can move into the attack and you’ll activate a ‘weapon’s skill’ which will make your attack stronger as well as auto locking on monsters.” She explained as she finished off her move. “Ready for another round?” She challenged, pointing over at another wolf.
