Chapter 4: CHAPTER 4 " A USELESS SKILL"
It has been a week after receiving this shitty skill and I've tried using it a couple of times to test it out. I went out early in the morning to watch the guards train their swords as I normally would but this time I have a purpose and that is to try this skill out!
" You are the knights of this kingdom! Every strike of your blade must protect its citizens! Therefore your strikes and swings must be strong enough to carry that duty! KNIGHTS!!! A THOUSAND SWINGS!!" the commander called upon his order to his knights as all of them responded...
" DEDICATE EACH STRIKE!! A THOUSAND SWINGS!!! "
I sat in a tree nearby the training grounds to watch them and tried to use my skill. I read in a book once that when you use the bestowed gift you must utter its name and focus on how to use it, well atleast I dont have to memorize a sentence of chant just to cast this skill.
"Skills from the memory" I uttered as the system popped up with a phrase.
