Tycondrius observed Sorina warily. The young lady did not look guilty, at all.
"One: Did Mister Lone deserve it?"
"He did," Sorina answered without hesitation.
Tycon was glad he did not need to clarify what exactly he was referring to.
"Boss! I-- I did not!!" Lone insisted. His eyes had widened and sparkled, looking like a wronged pup... an ugly pup.
"Two... Ah, this is more of a request than a question." Tycon pursed his lips... "I'd like you to... demonstrate your new skill."
Most Bronze-Rank adventurers could not develop skills on their own. If Sorina Capulet had, it meant her development as a combatant was coming along nicely.
As Sol Invictus' Chief Financial Officer, Sorina had access to an abundance of resources. She had personal training from the Gold-Rank adventurer, Seldin Korr, the Unbreakable. She had access to enchanted equipment. And she had the wealth to purchase medicine to accelerate her convalescence from injury.
