As Mike examined his new weapons, he was dismayed to learn that he lacked the STR to properly use it "That means that if I want to use shields, then I'm going to want to raise my STR...but I want to put as much points as I can into VIT and WIS......I'll have to ask the others if there's some way to gain free stat points. Who knows, it might be as simple as just working out. If it is, then I'm in luck; dad's still got his exercise room, and I doubt he'd have a problem with me using it." Mike went back to his list of skills from MMO. All the remaining ones that he wanted to learn looked far too complex for him to recreate "but there's got to be some kind of support skill I can learn......hmmm......what about a skill that could use my MP to restore someone else's? That sounds worth trying, but I'd need someone here to experiment with first...I'll just mentally file that away for later thought. For now though, it's time to grind my ID skills. If we keep letting Ren make them, then we'll have trouble grinding if he isn't available for some reason." And with that, Mike began to grind his ID Create and ID escape skills until lunch

"So Mike, you excited to start going to public school tomorrow" his father asked him as they sat down for lunch

"You bet I am! It's going to be so exciting!" he responded

His mom giggled "I wish everyone shared your enthusiasm. I know I could have used it when I was your age"

Mike just shrugged "well I guess that's what happen when you live 5 years longer then the doctors say you will, and then wake up one morning fully healed. Oh, by the way dad; do you mind if I start using your workout room? I think that I have a lot of catching up to do."

"Not at all. You're a smart boy, I know you'll be careful"

"Awesome! Thanks!" It was then that he got the PM from Sasha "well, I'm going to go out and explore again. I think today I'll check out my new school" he told his parents

"Alright then, be safe" his mom managed to say before he left

When he was out of eyesight, he pulled out his scooter from his inventory and sent a PM back to Sasha 

[i]I do. Let's meet up at school[/i] 

And with that he made his way there
