Welf walked over, first thanking Dionysus with a smile before turning to Renjiro (Aether). With a sigh of admiration, he said, plain as day:
"Big Sis is one thing, but that little catfolk girl too… your top-rank summoning magic is really convenient."
Hearing that,
"Your 'Will-o-Wisp' isn't bad either. Being able to prematurely detonate the target's magic energy? That's basically a mage killer."
The two of them exchanged a round of commercial compliments.
Yeah, Welf was the type who really hated owing anyone.
So, when Renjiro (Aether) had previously shared some information regarding 'Genshin Descent' to help him rush the crafting of the Universal Shovel, the red-haired youth soon after showed him his own magic in return.
==========
[Magic] Will-o-Wisp
Anti-Magic Spell
When the opponent uses an offensive spell or any attack containing magic power, forcibly trigger that magic energy to explode early.
Chant:"Burn out, illegal work."

Honestly, guys with personalities this straightforward sometimes seem a bit isolated in life.
But once they meet the right person, they become the most reliable of comrades.
The truth was: after that little exchange, Renjiro (Aether) and Welf had gone from "acquaintances" to "shameless friends."
Otherwise, they wouldn't be teasing each other this often.
As for the current moment…
"Welf, your Will-o-Wisp is probably only going to shine in the Middle Floors. Monsters in the Upper Floors don't use magic."
Renjiro said bluntly:
"Also, I've been watching how you fight along the way… To be honest, there are way too many unnecessary movements. You're wasting stamina for nothing."
"You should know, if adventurers want to level up, want to achieve great deeds, they must train their tactics and technique."
It was simple logic,
Back on Earth, every competitive game with a ranked ladder was the perfect example.
Same stats.
Same HP.
Same skills and cooldowns.
Same characters.
Some players become Kings.
Some get stuck in Iron.
Some are Fakers.
Ahem.
Alright, it isn't actually bad. He just ran into someone stronger.
Anyway,
If Welf's greatsword technique had a ranked tier, it would barely be Bronze at best.
Meanwhile, Renjiro (Aether)'s own technique wasn't amazing either, maybe Gold.
And even that was only thanks to the Genshin System's built-in structured Normal Attack training method.
Lv.1 Normal Attacks weren't exactly profound…
But even so, they were enough to impress adventurers in this world, for example, the Sword Princess, Ais Wallenstein.
And with that advantage,
"So, Welf, do you want to learn some greatsword techniques from me?"
"This…"
Inside the White Mist Forest, the red-haired boy hesitated.
Truthfully, if it had been any other adventurer, even if they didn't accept immediately, they would at least pretend to refuse out of courtesy.
But Welf genuinely didn't want to owe his friend too much.
He was afraid their friendship might change because of it.
For that stubborn personality,
"Don't you want to reach Lv.2 soon? To gain the Development Ability 'Forge,' and pursue your dream of becoming a high-class blacksmith?"
Renjiro (Aether) placed a hand on his shoulder.
"We aren't gods. Our lifespan is limited. If we want to reach greater heights in our limited time, we can't waste opportunities just because of trivial pride."
"Besides, once you get Forge, you can make things for me again later, right?"
"So? Want to learn?"
This wasn't some profound speech.
But coming from a good friend,
"Yeah… you're right. I was overthinking it."
Welf's expression became serious.
"If we're friends, helping each other is only natural."
"For now, I'll accept the favor, Aether."
He stood firmly before Renjiro (Aether), and bowed with formality.
"Please train me well."
At that moment, Renjiro knew he really shouldn't joke.
But some thoughts… simply couldn't be stopped.
If we were standing near a lakeside right now, and Welf was holding a folding fan…
Damn it. No turning back.
Renjiro wanted to slap himself.
Stop with the stupid references. Stop with the stupid references,
This habit of randomly spiraling into memes…
Really screwed him.
BA-DUM!!!
