Sarcony, with the librarian in tow, started to pore over books that remained untouched for a long time. Treating them as if treasures, they carefully unfurled and studied them all day long. Not wanting to disturb Sarcony who was obviously enjoying herself reading the books, all her classmates silently left. Sarcony reached her dormitory in the evening. She went up to the terrace at midnight as usual. Checking her Unveiling gift, she was extremely surprised. It read;

Sarcony felt the strength of her cold self was pretty much broken ( overpowered ), just like her bubbly self, but slightly lower. Her bubbly self's smug look set the fact in stone. Shaking her head in exasperation, she went back to her room.
The next day, everyone except Sarcony, Mo'er and the leader submitted the primary skill they selected. Mo'er was invited by the leader for a friendly spar at the closed room arena. She galdly accepted the offer and bid goodbye to Sarcony before following the leader.
Sarcony made a beeline for the Library. " Grandpa, I am here. " " Finally, I was waiting for you. Come here. I just put a collection of interesting books on our study table. We can go to have snacks after a while. " " Alright grandpa. But first, I want to get my Primary skill today. With your help of course. "
" I am glad that you asked my help. Let's go. "
In the Primary skill archive, Sarcony examined each and every skill with meticulous detail. The old man was extremely satisfied. He grinned like a naughty kid who got a candy. Meanwhile, Sarcony was oblivious to all this as she continued to browse.
Flame Prison: Fire dantain natured skill;
Water Jet: Water dantain natured skill;
Golem construction: Earth dantain natured skill;
Spirit assessment/Appraisal : Spirit seeker skill;
Illusion ( low level ): Mage skill;
Mind control ( low level beasts ): Mage skill;

Thread weaving art: Dantain neutral skill;
THAT'S IT. EXACTLY THE SKILL I NEED. The more she read the summary of the skill, the more she was convinced that this was the skill she desperately needed right now. With a victory grin on her face, Sarcony returned to her grandpa's side and showed him the skill she chose only for him to freeze for a while. " Did you choose only after serious deliberation? " " Yes, grandpa. " " Alright. "
Registering the primary skill of Sarcony as the Thread weaving art, the librarian sighed in defeat as he saw the joyful little girl walking into the night. WHY DID SHE HAVE TO CHOOSE THE TRASHIEST SKILL TO BE EVER RECORDED IN THE ARCHIVE? LET'S HOPE SHE RECONSIDERS AGAIN.
Reaching the dormitory garden at midnight, Sarcony assimilated the knowledge of the skill from the jade imprinted with a storage chakra formation. Excited, she checked its description;
Thread-Weaving Art: Chakra can be expelled from the fingertips of the user in the form of little threads that can be woven into nets or baskets or any other simple cloth-type structures. AS EXPECTED, THESE IDIOTS DO NOT SEE ITS EXTREME EFFECTIVENESS IN GROUP COMBAT OR TRAP LAYING AT ALL. I SECOND THE NOTION. NEVER EXPECTED THE NORMAL SARCONY TO UNEARTH SUCH TREASURE. HEY DON'T GO CALLING ME ' NORMAL SARCONY ' WHEN YOU HAVE A COOL NAME LIKE ' TRANSCENDENTAL COLD SARCONY ' HMPH. DID YOU JUST SIGH! SHUT IT YOU TWO.
Sarcony created a hair thin thread from chakra that emerged from her index finger's tip. It was flimsy enough to be torn apart by a small gust of wind. Sarcony created a second strand from the same finger. A third, a fourth, she continued until she could create around 10 strings from the same finger. Coiling them around each other to form a deca helix, she made the thread extra strong and yet it still was about a twentieth of the width of a finger, barely visible. She swung the thread towards a boulder expecting it to dissipate only to hear a crisp cracking sound as the thread whip tore through the sound barrier and blasted the boulder into smithereens. Startled by the sound, Sarcony made a quick escape to her dormitory room just in case someone hard her ruckus.
THE HELL!!! THE THREAD WHIP I CREATED FOR FUN LITERALLY GROUND THAT ROCK TO DUST. Maintaining the surprise, she went to sleep, oblivious to the ruckus she caused.
