Omni-Mastery

Here I was, after suddenly obtaining a place to settle in for the time being and a large number of books to read. I wanted to get down to practicing my hobby immediately, but it wasn't the right time to do so yet.

I had to finalize my plan for the stay in this city as soon as I finish up my tour in the town tomorrow, after getting some rest. Staying awake for most of the 24 hours in the system space wasn't that much of a problem, but the reason I was quite tired at the moment was actually the small battle I had with the death knight.

It might have seemed too easy for me, it was actually because I went all out to finish the battle as fast as I can, or else I wouldn't have used the main strikes of my 'Swordsmanship'.

'Swordsmanship' was just a simple skill that had a certain number of moves to use, it was a sword style that had several sword variations that I could apply easily with my current dexterity, however, it also held 3 strikes that contained the culmination of these variations and stressed more of the 'Swiftness' concept.

Using these moves in sequence proved to be powerful enough to take down the death knight in a short time, but it still took a toll on my body that had just experienced several tempering in the system space.

I took off the armor I had on and put on an old pair of clothing that I had in the ring, it appeared to be a bit short and unsuitable, which also reminded me to add buying some sets of clothing to the shopping list for tomorrow, since my physique has changed quite a bit lately. as for now, It was time to sleep...

Knock… Knock

"Ian, are you up yet, we came to pick you up for the tour~"

I instantly woke up as if my inside alarm has turned on, it appeared that the voice belonged to Tia.

"Yes, I already woke up, I'm just getting ready, I will be done in 10 minutes"

I wanted to start the day with elemental practice, but it seemed to be too late for this, it looked like I needed to make up my biological clock to organize my daily routine.

I got up from bed, put my armor on after washing my face and opened the door. Only to find that Tia was there alone.

"Hmm? What about Grace and Tie?"

"Grace has lots of reports to fill about the dark cave, while bro has to help with some stuff at home."

Since, we were the only one going, we embarked immediately as I didn't want to waste any time.

"So, where do you want to go first?"

"Maybe a good clothes shop?"

"Alright! I know a good one!"

I had quite the expectations as I saw how enthusiastic she was, but the reality was much worse than my expectations. I finally knew where the twins got their wuxia outfits, it turned out there was a shop this big holding clothes that looked exactly like wuxia cosplay outfits! And it was even somewhat popular!

"Uhh… can't we go to a shop with… a different fashion?"

"What do you mean?! This shop is the best one in town! Just give it a try!"

After being forced inside, we only left with a blue daoist robe that Tia insisted on buying for me, saying that the robe looked perfect on me and it was fated to be mine. Only then did we finally go for another clothes shop, however, it was almost as bizarre as the first one!

"Are these jeans...?"

"What do you mean by 'Jeans', they are just made from special leather!"

This store looked like a store spirited from earth to here, it was quite strange for such a store to appear here, but in my case it only made it much easier for me to find something suitable.

"Woah, you really look good in all kinds of clothes, don't you Ian?"

While listing to Tia's phrases which one couldn't tell if they were sarcasm or praise, I finally got out of the store after buying 4 pairs of blue & black jeans, several half-sleeve shirts, and two sets of pyjamas, which almost cost me half a gold coin, 49 silvers to be exact….

As half the day was gone with this troubled clothes buying, we only walked around the town without buying anything else. After we dined in an outside restaurant, I wanted to buy some food for later, but I was stopped by Tia who said that my meal would be normally delivered by the cooks in the governor's manor….

We headed back as I got what I wanted for now, I needed to get ready for the start of my next step.
