I shook my head lightly, amused, then turned my attention back to North.
"So," I asked, "what are your plans for the ritual? Are you going to focus on Fire Laws?"
Her class was very different from ours, centered more on stealth, wind, and space. The technique Dante had given her was already strong enough that she didn't need to stray far from it.
"No fire," she said. "Only Blood Laws. I think Hidden Cleave can evolve if I integrate it properly." She paused for a moment. "And I've been testing my blade skills with Lyrate every day. I've improved a lot."
"That works too," I said. "Have you received your quest yet?"
Steve, North, and Primus were all close to the levels where the System usually issued the quest. But so far, nothing had appeared.
North shook her head. "No."
I looked at Steve and Primus.
Both of them shook their heads as well.
That silence bothered me more than I expected.
The room fell silent all of a sudden.
