He smiles and throws the orb up and down in his hand.
"Thanks. I agree with you, this is a good option."
I turn to Luna next.
"For you, I thought about giving you a combat skill, like swordsmanship or dual wielding, but I think an elemental combat power would be more useful. You could improve your natural mana control and manipulate dungeon mass far easier with a skill like this. Take your pick."
The blue orbs float around above my hand for about a full minute before Luna picks one with only white energy inside it.
"Wind magic? Good choice."
We make our way to the canyon of dungeons as the sun rises, and both of them continue to examine the small blue marbles curiously the whole way until we enter one of the nearest dungeons.
I read out all of the details of these skills' perks, along with showing them a few other options of skill orbs I farmed, then finally share the exact skills that I offered to them through my rising emperor's domain so they can test them out to see how they like them before committing to anything. After about twenty minutes of playing around with many skills, both of them agree with my initial reasoning and decide these are their best options.
They each swallow their blue orb, and I watch blue system energy spread throughout each of their bodies in an instant, then disperse into thin air moments later.
Both Mythic Grade Stealth and Extreme Grade Wind Summoning now appear on their status windows without me having to share the skills.
Luna flies through the sky on gusts of wind, and Arie disappears and reappears in and out of thin air all over the dungeon, even trying out his ranked-up buffs with this skill too, and finding that he can shoot arrows and keep them invisible up until they make contact with their target.
Both of them come down to thank me again, then I place a hand on both of their shoulders, and bring us to the Solaran Dungeon Hub in Sector 4.
The morning sun fully rises, and they walk out into the busy streets, off to the Abyss outside of the city. I wave them off.
"I wish you two the best of luck again. I hope to see you soon after you've found what you're looking for."
Once I get back to Sector 2, I have a similar conversation with all of my other teammates, giving them teleport crystals and showing them skill orbs, presenting the option to gain a single permanent new ability if they wish.
Monk refuses to add any skills to his status while Abby and Maria don't find anything they particularly like. As soul energy users, their fighting style and battle strategies are honed to their current skills, and the only mythic-grade options I have left right now are swordsmanship and body hardening.
They feel as though I'll most likely find something better in the future, and don't need to use their one chance at acquiring a new skill right now.
I feel the same but thought I might as well give them the option.
Fisher and Lydia, on the other hand, may already be element and Qi users, but additional skills added to their arsenal would be very helpful.
I go down my list and let them try out each skill I have available for them to try over the next 30 minutes before they come to their conclusions. Fisher wants a legendary intimidation skill, as he's a very head-on battle-oriented fighter, while Lydia is more of a technical fighter and wants the lifesteal skill to give her an edge in longer battles where she may not be able to outclass her opponent in some fronts.
I picture my battle against the 43rd floor boss last night and decide Lydia has made a very good choice.
Fisher's need for a scare factor using intimidation may be a very useful trait when leading troops into battle, or overwhelming similarly strengthened opponents to give a mental edge.
