Before I did anything else, I opened my notifications.

For constant use of skills, [Lesser Radar] has reached level 3. [Lesser Radar] can now vaguely guess where an enemy will be.

For defeating a Player 7 levels above you, you have gained 460 EXP.

Your level has increased to 3. You have gained 2 Tree Points and 4 Attribute Points for leveling up.

For constant use of skills, [Battle Sense] has reached level 2. [Battle Sense] can now vaguely guess the class and level range of an opponent.

For defeating a Player 6 levels above you, you have gained 420 EXP.

Your level has increased to 4. You have gained 2 Tree Points and 4 Attribute Points for leveling up.

For constant use of skills, [Charge] has reached level 2. [Charge] now boosts STR by +2 the longer the charge goes on.

I did...really well during this fight. [Battle Sense] and prior experience was adding up remarkably well! Now to allocate my points. [Toughen] boosted my Defense by +5 but I found today's fight really, really called for my DEF attribute to be higher. I put 4 into Defense, bringing it up to 4, 2 into Agility, 1 to Strength, and 1 to Vitality. I know [Toughen] gave VIT a boost, too, but I had no idea what it did. I assumed that it would be helpful in keeping me alive for future fights, so it wouldn't hurt to upgrade.

The standard tingling came and went before I opened my status.

Now for my skills.

Skill/Spell Tree

Availiable Skills/Spells:

[Parry] - 1 TP

[Sweep] - 1 TP

[Item Identification] - 2 TP

[Alert Keep] - 4 TP

[Last Stand] - 6 TP

[Lesser Radar] - 4 TP

[Thrust] - 3 TP

[Burst] - 5 TP

[Charge] - 3 TP

[Toughen] - 2 TP

[Battle Sense] - 3 TP

[Item Identification] sounded rather...handy. It would only leave me with two TP though. With that, I could buy [Parry] and [Sweep] as well...No. I'm gonna get those skills by training; it would build up my Attributes, too. I'll just upgrade [Toughen].

You have gained the spell [Item Identification]. Spell info: Identifies any F rank item. (Active, +1 rank every 2 levels) Costs 1 MP to activate.

You have upgraded the skill [Toughen] to level 2. [Toughen] now boosts DEF by +6 and VIT by +4 for 4 seconds. Armor blocks 20 damage and lasts for 2 seconds. Costs 11 SP to activate.

Now that I had that done, it was time to handle everything else.
