Chapter 48: ConvergenceAfter attempting to memorize an incredible amount of rules, I had to leave... through the wall.

    "|Reinforce|! |Enchant Flame|!" [Solace]

    I faced the wall, buffing myself with the only two buffs I had. The moment I had finished, I used the only physical attack skill within my status.

    "|Blazing Fist!|!" [Solace]

    With a burning fist, I blew a hole in the wall.

    "Nice job. I wonder where you learned that from." [Leyhna]

    "...Sarcasm is unbecoming of you, Leyhna." [Vincent]

    "Hey. I already get scolded about my attitude by Ms. Wendle. I don''t need to hear it from you." [Leyhna]

    Vincent sighed and shook his head.

    "What would your mother think of you?" [Vincent]

    "Huh? Why would you bring my mom into this? I bet she was just like me when she was my age." [Leyhna]

    "..." [Vincent]

    Vincent held his tongue. Seeing as how he somewhat averted his gaze, I''m pretty sure Leyhna hit the nail on the head.

    "Just... Just go before the wall closes." [Vincent]

    Before Leyhna could say anything, he pushed us out of the building.

    "Huh. It''s still pretty bright out." [Solace]

    "I wonder if Fina is awake." [Leyhna]

    "..." [Solace]

    Upon hearing that, a sudden realization hit me.

    "Uh oh." [Solace]

    "Uh oh?" [Leyhna] Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "Fina usually calls me whenever she wakes up... If she finds out I''m not there...!" [Solace]

    I felt a surge of adrenaline go throughout my body as I began to panic. It''s a familiar feeling from when I was still human, but not one that I enjoyed too much.

    "|Mimic|!" [Solace]

    Quickly transforming to my yellow ball appearance, the clothes I had on fell off.

    "Solace! You dropped the clothes I got you!" [Leyhna]

    ("|Item Box|!") [Solace]

    The space near me distorted, and it sucked up the clothing I dropped. Strangely enough, I didn''t command it to do so.

    ("...That''s pretty cool.It must be reacting to my thoughts.") [Solace]

    I was in awe for a moment, but immediately returned to the reason I put away my clothes.

    ("Crap! I almost forgot! Fina!") [Solace]

    I zoomed across campus. I zig-zagged through crowds of students, entered the girls dorms, and finally reached Fina''s room.

    ("Please don''t be awake yet!") [Solace]

    Upon entering the room, a wave of relief washed over me.

    ("Thank god...") [Solace]

    Fina was still asleep. She slept soundly and defenselessly, making me recall back to the dungeon the other day.

    ("If only I had a healing skill...") [Solace]

    As I watched over Fina, I heard the door creak open behind me.

    "Solace..." [Leyhna]

    There was Leyhna, panting from exhaustion.

    "You bastard... Making me run all this way..." [Leyhna]

    ("...I may or may not have made a mistake.") [Solace]

    Leyhna looked livid. Though she breathed heavily, I could see her stabilizing with every breath.

    ("That''s some mad stamina she has there.") [Solace]

    Leyhna pointed to me and pointed out the door, indicating for me to leave.

    ("Yes ma''am...") [Solace]

    I exited the room like she asked, and returned to my original form.

    "Dispel |Mimic|." [Solace]

    The little yellow ball I was changed into a little yellow human. ...I know what some of you are thinking, but I''m not trying to make that kind of joke right now.

    "Turn to human form." [Leyhna]

    "What? Why?" [Solace]

    "Just do it." [Leyhna]

    "How about no? I''ll be naked in the girls'' dorm." [Solace]

    "Do it." [Leyhna]

    "Bruh." [Solace]

    Leyhna wasn''t listening to a word I said. The only choice left was to put on my clothing as fast as I could, but I didn''t know how.

    ("What if I opened the |Item Box| fast enough to put my clothes on at the same time as my |Mimic|?") [Solace]

    The plan was solid ...kind of. Realistically speaking, there was no way in hell that was going to work. Though... if anything, I thought it was worth a try.

    ("|Item Box|! |Mimic|!") [Solace]

    I opened the |Item Box beforehand, allowing the clothes to come out first. Then, I tried transforming within the clothes as they fell.

    "...Did it work?" [Solace]

    I looked down at myself, and what do you know? It worked. It wasn''t perfect, since some of my clothing was crooked and disheveled, but it most definitely worked.

    "Alert: Conditions have been met. Automatically accessing the skill |Convergence| to merge the skills |Item Box| and |Mimic|. Processing." [Spirit Guide]

    ("Huh?") [Solace]

    "Processing complete. The skill |Wardrobe| has been created. You have acquired the skill, |Wardrobe|." [Spirit Guide]

    I was stunned. I was planning to check out what |Convergence| did on my own time, yet this outcome was way better.

    "That''s pretty sick-." [Solace]

    Right while I was occupied by the sudden revelation, Leyhna slapped me.

    "Next time, how about you don''t just run ahead?" [Leyhna]
