Son of Chaos 15 Partners

"This was it for today. Remember to practice the forms I showed you whenever you have time. I will test you tomorrow, to see how much you remember.", he then looked at Ivan and Irena, "You two come with me."

He waited for Ivan to stand up, which he managed with some difficulty, it seems he had really used up too much energy and Irena too had a hard time standing up, and then lead them towards one of the buildings next to the training ground.

After they entered his office he offered them a seat.

"Have you heard about Training Skills?", he asked the two of them after they all sat down.

Ivan could only look clueless, since he had never heard of them, but Irena seemed to know something, "They are used to increase your stats after they reach a threshold and can't really be raised by repeating simple actions."

"Correct. They are not all that rare if you only want a low ranked, but the higher ranked are scarce. For example the school tournament only offers E ranked as a winning price while the inter school tournament offers D ranked for the top five. On the other hand F ranked can easily be bought for a few silver."

They looked at him and wondered where he was going with this.

Seeing the look in their eyes he didn't continue to delay and pulled out a skill book. It was the most impressive looking skill book Ivan had ever seen. It had a metallic color with golden inlays which formed complex diagrams which were arranged around gemstones which where inlaid at the center of the cover. He couldn't help but stare greedy at it, since he was sure that it had quite a high rank.

Besides him Irena too had an astonished look in her eyes, but it vanished fast.

"This is the reason I called you here.", he laid his hand on the book and stroked it's cover, "I found this skill book during a dungeon clear, but sadly I can't use it."

"Then why didn't you sell it. It must be worth a lot", Irena asked.

He shook his head. "Even though this book is S ranked it has some requirements, which are very rare and as such it wouldn't really sell, except to collectors and that's not what I wanted."

A sad look was on his face as he reminisced about something.

"When we did that dungeon I lost my best friend, so I couldn't stand something that he gave his life for to just collect dust in some collection. After I failed to sell it with the condition that the buyer had to be able to use it, I then decided to keep it and hope that I would maybe be able to find someone who would be able to use it and finally there is a chance."

He then looked at them with hope in his eyes. "You two are the first students I met, that have a chance to fulfill the requirements for the skill, so I hope that the two of you are willing to try learning and using it."

This time even Irena displays her surprise, "Are you sure teacher? This is an S ranked skill."

"I know, but I really want someone to use it. If I weren't sure I wouldn't have made the offer."

"Could you tell us more information? Dual skills are really rare and the demands for the ones using it are a bit...", she then trails of, not willing to continue.

"I know that it is asking a lot, especially to you but I'm sure an S ranked Training Skill will be worth it."

"I will think about it.", she then looks at Ivan, "How about you?"

"Um sorry, I got no clue what you are talking about.", he could only answer embrassedly.

"Right, I forgot. Dual skills are skills that have to be used by two persons together, usually male and female. They will require some contact between the partners, but it is different for each skill. Some only require them holding hands, while other need more skin contact, while others go even further.", she then stops, not wanting to further explain what it could be, but Ivan could imagine it.

"Oh, that's really a big decision then."

"Yes, especially since it is not like the skill will only be useful now and then become useless later on. An S ranked Training Skill would accompany us most likely for the rest of our life."

"So we have to stay together for the rest of our life?"

"If we want to use the skill then yes, but if we find another Training Skill to replace it then not necessarily."

Ivan took a good look at her. She wasn't good looking, especially with her face, but also with her height. She was at least 30 cm higher than him, and to make it worse she was thin and had no curves. Her breasts were practically nonexistent and her ass was the same. If it only were about holding hands then it was no problem, but what if the skill required more?

Irena saw him looking at her and managed to catch the distaste in his eyes and a look of hurt flashed unnoticed across her face. She knew how she looked so she couldn't really fault him but she still felt hurt.

"I will think about it too.", he then came to a decision. For him being able to learn such a great skill was much more important and he still had hope, that there were pills, which could improve her looks.

"That's great. I hope you two decide to do it."

They then said goodbye to the teacher and left the office. As soon as they went through the door Irena ran away, so he didn't manage to ask her any more questions.

Without anything else to do at school for now he then used his phone to get back to the Campus.
