Any skill with a suffix in its name was never ordinary. Lightchaser and Wail's original creations were all SSS rank. Even if she'd just spotted two of these Preferred: Orpha in a row—as if they were on wholesale—there was no way such a skill was weak.
Instead of gambling on random skills of unknown quality, why not satisfy her curiosity? Just how strong could a "top educator's" personal teaching be?
