—Spearmen? —the young man decided he hadn't heard the old woman's voice correctly. —Well, yes, with his spear in one hand and that shield in the other, it just makes you want to perform glorious deeds.
He examines the artifact for a while:
—And what are those claws... And is she also... some kind of beast-man?

—The designer has some interesting preferences... But how can someone be a human with animal ears? Perhaps there was some villainous curse or an unsuccessful magical experiment?

By the whim of fate, she was once carried to Shingen, to a witch-"researcher"...

Yeah, with a spear in one hand and that shield in the other, it really makes you want to perform glorious deeds.

In response, he shows her his katana (an iron one, not a meat one):

- I'll teach you how to use such a thing.

I don't think I have the right stats. But why not?

- Well... I met many people while I was in Faris and the capital. I can't say anything about most of them, since my communication with them was minimal...
- Among the positive ones... I can mention Sir Kira (do you remember him?) and Professor Peleng from the university.
- Among the negative ones... Perhaps my classmate, my "obsessed" one, what was his name... Artrachsex, I think... I'm not sure I remembered his name correctly... And I'm not even sure that the name he gave is real...

- Arik and Gnelep, that is, - the mushroom joked, pronouncing the heard names in reverse,

- and what was the third one so worried about?

- What are you going to do if I start messing them up? Ariké Ariké Ariké, - Jack showed Ari... I mean, Erika, his tongue. - And I didn't understand anything about your new acquaintance. Socks, wardrobes... What are we even talking about?

. - Stats are just a trivial matter. The whole world can change with just one well-placed word, so language will always be stronger than the sword. Alright, let's go... I don't remember if I introduced myself or not - my name is Gonhu, by the way. - Just so the GM doesn't have to keep writing "man and man."

Over the next 4 hours, Gonhu shows Insho how to use a katana... and she unlocks the corresponding skill!

Katana
Requires 50 experience points to learn.

- Well, yes, it was both an experiment and a curse, it seems. Something like that was mentioned in her memoirs... - The grandson pondered, remembering what he had read. - By the way, she has two pairs of ears... I can't even imagine how that works.

After giving Erica a light tap on the head with her mushroom hat, she replied:
- It doesn't matter. And behave yourself. Do you have any more questions?

- Whew! 😧 What a day! Thanks for the lesson! Skills are never superfluous. Oh! Will you sign this book? I'm starting to collect autographs, you'll be my first 😳

Walking along the next counter, he points to the erudition glasses:
- Do you need a prescription from an ophthalmologist for these, or do they adjust to the required vision on their own?

- Hey, don't give me any nicknames, I'm very sensitive!..

- I don't know, what do you think about the country?
