Also just to clarify Val, nothing happened when your character tried to use a Mana Bolt on the shrubbery.

The Friends List, when opened up, was actually pretty useful. Next to the names on it that were Lucian's friends it would display a small green circle. Usually this meant that a person was 'Online' in games, but in real life you couldn't log out or anything like that, so it was hard to tell what it meant here. There were also three buttons at the bottom. An Add button, an Ignore button, and a Message button. While the first two seemed interesting, the third one was probably the most useful, as it meant you could most likely send messages to people without the usage of a cell phone. The Status window displayed his stats measured in numerical values, how much HP and MP he had, two values called Resilience and Concentration, and how much EXP he had and the amount he needed to get to the next Level, which wasn't too much since he was only Level 1.

As Lucian and Rainer both picked up their weapons the two of them would be able to tel that the weapons were sturdy and strong. Maybe not as strong as metal weapons, but the wood and the craftsmanship gave them a better sense of speed and control then metal weapons could.

As Lucian asked his first question to Ren he just gave a small shake of his head. "As I mentioned before, anymore will cost you as does this conversation we are having. I got the Skill though when I was learning how to emit the energy, or Mana in our case, for creating a Psuedospace, but I think it also requires a certain level in Focus and maybe certain levels in INT and WIS".

Then came the second question about creatures dropping ridiculous items or large amounts of money. This Ren sort of gave a disappointed sigh. It was not directed towards Lucian though, but towards the concept mentioned in his question. "Unfortunately no. This is still Real Life in a sense, so monsters usually only drop whatever they would have on them, like on some Imps that I have killed I have found Imp Horns and Claws, probably a Crafting material, although I haven't used them since I don't know any black magic or alchemy recipes. And about partying up... we probably could do that. This way we would all get EXP when we defeat an enemy instead of one person getting it".

Then suddenly came Sasha's inquiry about Mana Bolt and Ren just nodded. "Yes, but if you want me to teach you more special skills I require 10,000 ¥ from someone in the group in addition to the 5,000 ¥ I am already owed for our current conversation. But lets focus on that later and get you all leveled up a few times so you all don't suck as much". It still seemed his coldness and general disinterest in other people was there. Sure this may have been a situation where they were all grouping together to raise their powers up, but Ren still did not care for people, especially after what happened to him before, something the others didn't know about. Ren then stopped for a moment, thinking a bit as he looked at the group.

"Create Party". Upon saying this a window appeared in front of Ren, something the others couldn't see obviously, eliciting a small smile on the boy's face as he looked at it. "Interesting... so it works". Although as he said this a moment later the smile was wiped off of his face. "No I don't want to name it that". He mumbled this as he touched the window, now thinking of something else. "Bus Riding". Ren said this, then tapped the window again. "Now then..." Ren looked at all of the others now.

"Group Party Invite". He had seen the option in a game once, the ability to invite multiple people at once into a party. He wondered if it would work here. Luckily it did, windows appearing in front of everyone else now, each only visible to themselves. The windows all read the same thing.



At the bottom were two buttons, one that said Accept (Y) and the other that said Decline (N). There was also a small number between the two buttons counting down from 60, probably how many seconds they had to accept the party invite before it became null and void.

Ren shook his head in response to the first question. "No, I cannot summon Imps. According to that Messenger of Gaia creatures like those come from that other world I mentioned, but when they do so Gaia prevents their presence from getting to our world through the usage of Pseudospace, which is a zone that is an exact copy of an area that no matter what you do to it, the real world itself is unaffected. Essentially we could blow up the school behind us, but when the Psuedospace is dispelled, the area would be completely normal since that wasn't the real school we blow up. That Messenger guy taught me how to create Psuedospace and when I did it the natural way it turned into a skill called ID Create that lets me create Pseudospace as I please".

Then came Rainer's second question, also eliciting a shake of Ren's head and a small sigh as he really wanted to get this underway, but was willing to answer their questions just so they wouldn't go do something stupid and get themselves killed. "I don't think it works that way. When I say Skills I do not mean your Talents, if you would take a look at your Skill Window and Talent Window. Talents are the things we can naturally do already. Skills are special abilities that we possess, things that you would see in video games. Like Dagger Mastery or Physical Endurance. Or even thinks like Mana Bolt. Skills that are either used for a single purpose, Active Skills, or Skills that are always active and enhance your natural abilities, or Passive Skills. And while you could unlock some special martial arts style Skills while training that in itself doesn't give you EXP. Only fighting and beating an enemy gives you EXP as that is how it works in games".

Also when Rainer did say that one command the trail of dots was removed from the Minimap.
Edited my post.
I have now posted.
Rainer may have recognized him, but Ren barely recognized Rainer. He had seen the older student around at times here and again, but never had any form of actual conversation with her sempai. Still, now they were, as Rainer first experimented with the Minimap before asking Ren some questions. First though as Rainer said the command the Minimap appeared before him, depicting a somewhat not very detailed overhead view of the area with six white dots to represent the group. The white dots most likely meaning regular, non-enemies. And as he moved it with his hand it would move to where he put it, meaning Ren was not lying about that either. This would happen to any other member of the group who experimented with the Minimap. If they said the command a second time then the Minimap would vanish. A third time would make it reappear, but in the same place they left it if they had moved it.

Ren noticed the older student blushing for some reason, but decided to ignore it, not really knowing why the older student was blushing like that. As Rainer asked his question Ren's red right eye and left green eye both gazed blankly at him, the boy sighing and shaking his head after his question was finished. "I said before don't be an idiot and assume that we are in a game. Real life is real life, we are still in real life. What we want to do with our powers is up to us, as long as we don't go affecting the normal world with them because if we did that then Gaia would kill us, probably due to not wanting those that have supernatural powers to affect the world and lives of those that don't. Whether you want to ignore these powers entirely or level up is up to you".

"And yes, you are correct. I have been fighting Imps. Tried to fight a slightly higher level enemy that I managed to find, but they were a bit too tough on my own, so I fight Imps. They give me really bad EXP now due to how high level I am, but are good for leveling my Skills. Which is one benefit of this power as even if you don't want to get involved with a world beyond what we can imagine, I still see the profit in leveling up as you can raise your various Stats as you level up, growing smarter, stronger, faster, or even healthier depending upon which ones you raise. You can even raise your own Talents as well, which also has alot of benefits in normal society".

Rainer would say 'Observe', but nothing happened. With the second command though a trail of dots appeared on Rainer's minimap from his current position, which was a small white triangle on the map. This trial would most likely take him to what he considered home.

Ren noticed Rainer saying 'Observe', guessing that he was trying the same thing he did earlier. "I guess ill teach you all about Skills. Like your windows, Skills are voice activated as well, which is also how you Level them up, by activating them with your voice. Unless the Skill says Passive next to it, those are always active unless specified otherwise. To obtain Skills you have to perform special actions or meet certain requirements with either your Stats or Talents. Like the Observe Skill for instance. I got that from observing something naturally and noticing something special about it, but I am pretty sure raising your Observation Talent works as well and the best way to do that is to Level Up...".

Suddenly Ren reached behind him, opening up his Inventory with a small mumble of the appropriate command before touching sliding his hand across the window, or the air to onlookers. He then suddenly reached into it, a small light shining where Ren was sticking his hand for just a very brief moment before he pulled it out of the light and then put a bundle he seemed to pull out of nowhere onto the ground. In the bundle there were two baseball bats; a wooden one and a metal one, a bokken; or a wooden katana used for practicing kendo, a wooden bo staff, and a bow that had a small quiver with ten arrows tied in it, the bow looking just like the ones that the archery club used.

"Take whatever weapon you'd like. The sports clubs often throw away their broken equipment, so instead I asked if I could have some of the pieces they throw out and took them back to my house where I repaired them with my Craft Skill. When you're done experimenting with your weapon and choosing which one you'd like, tell me so I can go ahead and create a Pseudospace that has some Imps in it". They needed EXP, and this was the best way to get it according to Ren's knowledge, since quests gave usually good amounts, but were rare and took time.
Its alright. I shall get my own response post up to Rainer right now.
