Chapter: 647
Unfortunately, Jay didn’t know any combat abilities, fighting style, or combination-attacks which could help Dark. The skeleton would have to figure it out on its own.
Having a melee class would give him a range of standard melee abilities, along with making it simple to learn new melee-skills, but for now all he could do was guess.
As far as Jay could tell, the skeletons didn’t have melee classes either – despite using melee weapons. Sure, they did have roles when they reached level five, which Jay guessed were like classes, but until they got there, he would just have to wait and see.
“I suppose if I learn a skill I could teach them… I would need to find someone to learn it from first though…”
“But I would need to… oh what am I thinking, if I found someone they would probably report me or kill me.”
“I guess the only option would be to capture someone?” he shrugged, “the world has left me with no choice.” his lips slightly curled, as if he would even enjoy it.
Jay watched the two skeletons practicing for a moment and made sure everything was in order before he began meditating to recover his mana.

Contrary to her normal behaviour, Sylvia was smiling.
“Are you sure you want me to do this?” Sylvia gave Norgrim an evil smile, she almost seemed excited about what she was about to do. She asked the question as if it wasn’t a question at all.
“Yes. His only other option is death – he would cause too much trouble alive.”
“It will hurt him a lot…” Sylvia added.
“Mhm… I realize that.” he nodded, “at least try to not look like you’re enjoying it…” Norgrim paused for a moment, then slightly leant forward and whispered, “…you do realize you’re smiling? I have never seen you smile.” he looked concerned.
“I’m just…” she looked awkwardly around the room, “…excited about today. For unrelated reasons.” Sylvia said, before she quickly left the room and rushed off somewhere.
Norgrim exhaled deeply and shook his head, “…my students are weirdos.” he thought, before tending to his desk plant.
A few moments later, and someone else was at the door.
*Knock, knock*
“Come in – oh, William. Thanks for coming.”
“That’s ok.” he shrugged with a placid stare, seeming a little downcast today.
“William, I need you to find Jay… again.” Norgrim smiled, “you found him before so it shouldn’t be too hard to do it again, right?”
“Uh. oh… Yeah, sure. I mean – no promises, but I can try.” he nodded thoughtfully.
“Well good!” Norgrim rubbed his hands together happily, trying to lift the mood a bit.
“Any other news?” he asked.
“Uh… there’s thousands of mage hunters moving to Losla… thousands… tens of thousands…” William said, sounding bleak and empty.
