Okay, now I'm concerned. If is a novice-level skill that every club-wielder should obtain, I might be doing something wrong if I still don't have it.
“Wait, this is something I haven't heard about! I've been using my bone clubs all this time but I never got a skill named . Why is that?”
“Well, I have one idea… a rather likely one.”
Fiara looks slightly hesitant. Maybe she’s worried the answer will be embarrassing for me? It's likely my own mistake after all… But,
