The older man stared at Cara for a few seconds before responding.
"I get the feeling that I’m going to regret this. But what is the wisdom of the badgers? Keep in mind that if you try to kick me in the dick, I will roast you for dinner."
Cara gave him an offended look that even the Elder in the distance could tell was fake.
"What do you think of me? A kind and gentle young lady such as myself would never stoop to such lows."
"It’s been under two weeks since the last time that you did it to me."
Cara shrugged. "That’s not the point. You were trying to escape with the loot.
Now, come over here and I will teach you something fun."
Reluctantly, the Immortal nodded his agreement, and then his eyes opened wide as a message appeared in his vision.
{System Activated By Skill Transfer}
{Skill Learned} [Pilfer]
"What the hell?"
Cara shrugged. "I told you that you would get the wisdom of the badgers."
Then his gaze went vacant as he was pulled into the System’s class selections screen.
"Let me guess, you gave him something that’s going to lead him down a path that he absolutely does not want to be on?" The Skill Repository Elder asked.
"I wouldn’t go that far. Just an unconventional pathway.
However, I do think that he will be able to make something of it if he already has some useful side skills that will combine with it. Who knows, he might get a rare or elite class option right from the start." Cara offered.
The Elder waited patiently as the new arrival finished with his Class Selection, and blinked in confusion, having not expected to be shunted back and forth between mental spaces.
"That was... a new experience. Apparently, I am a Treasure Hunter now? It gave me some options that weren’t good, and then this one. A combination of bonuses to knowledge gain and bonuses from ancient ruins and trials, with a number of Rogue type stealth and looting skills," he muttered.
The Elder looked impressed. "You know, I didn’t expect the badger to give you that much wisdom. Treasure hunting is an amazing skill for Immortals to have, with so many pocket dimensions and trials appearing around the world.
If you have a skill to detect and enter them, you could be incredibly popular with the other Ascended members."
The "rescued" Immortal sighed, and glared at Cara. "You knew that I suffered from an immense amount of trauma related to being trapped in a separate space, so you gave me a skill that set me up to do nothing but raid trials?"
Cara waved her hand dismissively. "Nonono, all I did was awaken the System for you, and then you picked it all by yourself, based on the options that you had available.
You spent your whole life preparing for this, you’re perfect.
Just maybe get a skill to get back out this time.
