Shad had seen how weak he was. He needed to gather as much strength as quickly as possible. Even seemingly fat loser Terry was stronger than him. He gained 0.3 stat points from the warrior and 1.0 from the bear. He had two more point sacks available for him. But points were clearly not enough his fighting skills lacked behind. He needed to fight and train more.

He returned the camp 50 meters away from the clearing he fought with Terry. Leah was still wounded and still laying on the ground while the mage was sitting down.

Shad draw his saber and stabbed the wounded girl. She only managed to voice a weak cry. The mage looked at him eyes filled with fear. He started to beg "Please orc youngling I am not an enemy, I can help you like this guy, the fat guy. I can be your servant. You said he didn't like fucking man but if you fancy..." He shut his trap with telekinesis. But mage looked at him with begging eyes.

When Shad come close he dropped shutting the guy down. That moment the mage said, "So you are a mage, I can teach you new magic skills, just promise me you will not kill me and I will teach you everything I know."

Shad smiled "I promise," he said. Mage guy said "I am a tier-one pyromancer. But I also know a weak healing skill, I will teach you all."

Shad took the mage's staff from the pile. He looked at it then he pushed on it some mana. Mana has gone through the staff. Staff had two steps. First staff changed natural mana into fire mana via some runic shapes. He knew this shape, he drew it when the fire mage made his big fireball. The other shape or rune gives the fire mana its small ball shape. Then it quickly fired it. That weapon needed no skill to use. Just needed mana.

He turned to mage "I already seen the fire turner shape and ball shaper shape. Do you know more?" He looked at him with surprised eyes "You can see other people's magic runes?" Shad nodded. He probably hoped to teach the shape would have taken some time and give him some time to run but he quickly gathered himself and said. I can teach you how to make the life mana rune.

Shad come near him "You are saying to me you only knew fireball magic and a simple healing spell which only involves turning natural mana into life mana and touching the wounded location?" He nodded. "How can you know this little?" He said, "I, I am, only tier one. I know from your armor and weapons you are some sort of fighter class, how many stamina using special attack moves you have?"

Shad said, "Two, my double blade slashes and my lunge thrust." The mage nodded "Like you, my moves only open up when I develop them further with increasing my skill. But you can only gain attack moves or spells if they are related to your class. For example, a close combat warrior can't get any bowman attack moves even he has the necessary skills and stats."

Mage continued "Even if you have the control and mana stats you can't gain magic spells unless you learn them because you are not from mage class. But I can teach you." Shad asked him "Show me the healing spell," The mage said, "You need to untie me." Shad untied the hands of the mage. He starts to use his healing spell on himself.

Like advertised it was a simple move that involved turning natural mana into healing mana. Shad draw the shape in the makeshift notebook he made from looted papers. Then he raised his blade. The mage said, "You promised."

Shad laughed "I actually keep my promises because I care about reputation. Anyone who sees me while betraying my words would never truly trust me again. But you have a little problem here nobody saw or heard my promise, so no one will know." Blood splattered. A head fell to the ground.

Shad used all his gathered 1.9 points of free points his stats become like this.
