Ding!
[You have Completed the [Special Quest]: [Deliver the Aqua Rings to the Saphira and the rest of her Tribe living in Agartha!]
[Excellent Job! You've completed the quest and delivered the rings without problems, and without asking for any money either. Your pure heart deserves a nice gift.]
[You've received Bonus Rewards for having completed the Quest under 12 Hours!]
[Completion Rewards: [100000 EXP] [50000 Shared EXP] [Saphira's Skill Scroll (E Grade)] x1]
After completing the ring delivering quest, something interesting happened, I was gifted a Skill Scroll. If this is really how I think it might be… Is this an item that can allow me to learn a Skill? But why does it says "Saphira's Skill Scroll"?
-----
[Saphira's Skill Scroll (E Grade)]
A Special Scroll containing the Special Essence of Saphira, a young Mermaid Girl and a Receptionist at the Adventurer's Guild in Agartha. By using this item, you're capable of choosing one of her talents as a brand-new Skill.

The description was shorter than I imagined, but it was pretty clear to figure out what it would do. With this I could finally learn more Skills. Though… it doesn't seem easy to get these. This is the first time they show up, and seeing how everything is just randomly generated, who knows when I may get another.
I quickly grabbed it while Saphira was celebrating and distracting Aquarina, the scroll turned into particles of light the moment I desired to use it.
FLAAASH!
Ding!
[You have used the [Saphira's Skill Scroll (E Grade)], please choose a Skill you want to learn.]
[Underwater Breathing]
[Mermaid's Charm]
[Melodious Voice]
[Aqua]
There were only four Skills?! Is Saphira not that strong? I guess she doesn't work as an adventurer herself, so it makes sense she doesn't have crazy abilities to turn into Skills. Though all of them seem interesting.
I'll discard the first one right away, and the second one too, I don't really need those at all anyways. A melodious voice? It sounds interesting but I am not a good singer anyways, nor I am interested on singing.
So…
Ding!
[You selected the [Aqua] Skill!]
[You learned the [Lesser Water Magic: Aqua] Skill!]
[You have exchanged 500000 EXP]
[$$%4455 &&5***¨[[]=6]
[The [Aqua] Skill has Leveled up!]
-----
[Lesser Water Magic: Aqua: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 0/1000
A Lesser Water Attribute Magic Spell, the weakest there is.
By spending a small quantity of Mana, it is possible to create a small ball of water with barely any force, which can satiate thirst or fill up buckets to wash the body, cook, boil food, and do a variety of things.
The power of this Spell is mediocre and cannot be properly used for fighting, the small water sphere produced cannot hurt anybody.
Cooldown: No Cooldown.
Level Bonus (1): Enhances the Skill's Damage Dealt and Conjuration Speed by +10%.
Skill Inherited from Saphira.

Amazing, it is like a Water Attribute Ember! Now I have both Ember and Aqua, nice. I've got to train this Skill so it levels up quickly and it can evolve into something stronger. Now I could probably try conjuring water attribute spells as well, although Aquarina will always be better.
Not like I really mind, I can always just merge these elements together to create brand new things. I don't have to try to be better than her anyways, I can just make my own original spells!
"Sylphy? Hello? Are you there?" Aquarina wondered, looking at me.
"Ah! Yeah, yeah, we're done here then." I nodded.
"I'll bring the rings to my family now! Thanks a lot for your help, Sylphy." Saphira seemed really happy.
"No worries! I hope you all can survive this heat well." I said, as we waved our hands. "Alright, we're yet to be done though! Furoh, bring us back home quickly, please!"
"Eh?! Already?! I wanted to relax and eat something with you first…" Aquarina sighed, looking all down.
"Ah… W-Well, but… I've gotta finish the special magic imbued wood carving tools for Saphaley." I sighed.
"But I want to spend some time with you so we can relax!" Aquarina pouted. "You're a bit too much into helping others and don't seem to realize I need you too."
"A-Aquarina…"
Right, I guess I've not been paying enough attention. We had a very rough fight, our lives were in danger and… I am now just as if nothing happened, trying to get more rewards. If anything, I am being a bit selfish. I think Saphaley and Elphiette can wait a few more hours, no?
"I'm sorry, let's go have something yummy then." I said, caressing her head. I gave her a kiss and looked her into her eyes. "Sorry… I've been having a ton of stuff inside my head lately…"
"Well, it's fine as long as you buy me some ice cream." Said Aquarina with a cocky smirk.
"Sure, I'll buy you any flavor you want, and of any size too!" I said with a smile, holding her hand.
"E-Eh You're holding my hand? But… What if others see?" Aquarina said, getting slightly shy.
"I don't really give a damn if they see!" I laughed. "If they know I love you and that you're my girlfriend, that's for the better."
"Sylphy…" Aquarina felt moved.
"Sorry Furoh, we'll be having a date here first." I said.
"It's fine, have a good time together girls." Furoh said. "I should return home, I want to continue taking a nap.
"Young lady, I shall leave as well." Nephilim said. "Have a nice lovey-dovey date."
With both of them out of the picture, we began exploring the bustling streets of Agartha, hunting food stalls and eating everything tasty we could find. Aquarina ate a gigantic ice cream cone with six different flavors, and once we were done, we were so stuffed we could barely walk.
"Phew… There's no place that has such delicious food than in here!" Aquarina celebrated.
"You've eaten away at my funds as well…" I sighed.
"Ehehehe, it is the benefits of having a rich girlfriend." She giggled.
"Hey, I am not your personal pocket, geez…" I sighed. "But I'm glad you had fun."
"Didn't you?" She wondered.
"Ah yeah, I did too." I said. "Though, my money…"
"Geez! Okay, sorry… I'll help you get more later, we can just hunt more monsters anyways!" Aquarina said.
