"Blue. Do you have some recommendations for me?" Hence, he relied on Blue, which made things simpler.
Blue picked up several books and presented them to Clovis.
[These are the books that I believe are currently suitable for Master’s current strength.]
"Mhmm?" Clovis looked at the title of the books: Werewolf’s Basic Footwork, Centaur’s Dual Wielding, Dark Elf’s Throwing Technique, Demon Dog’s Speed Star, and Knight’s Basic Swordsmanship.
"These are rather unique titles. I have my current footwork, but I wonder if this one is good. The Werewolf is known for their speed, right?
"How about this Centaur’s Dual Wielding? They are a rather strong race, but I’m also using two swords.
"This throwing technique must be implying my short sword. I throw it a lot. Normally, I just use it for mobility. But if I can use it for dealing damage to the beasts or even killing them, won’t it be good?
"What about this Knight’s Basic Swordsmanship? Well, it’s a fantasy world, so it must be a kind of sword and magic world. I guess a knight is a huge deal there.
"The thing that confuses me the most is this Demon Dog’s Speed Star. What is this?"
Out of the five titles, he had to read the introduction to the Demon Dog’s Speed Star to understand what this technique was all about.

Demon Dog’s Speed Star.
A single hit is deadly. If the enemy is quick enough to block our attack, we just have to get even faster so that we can hit the enemy.
"Mhmmm?" Clovis tilted his head in confusion. "I still don’t understand what it’s talking about. From what I can see, this one emphasizes swinging speed. Is it using a powerful blade that can easily cut down the enemy’s? If that’s the case, it’s going to be good for me.
"However, do I have enough money?" Clovis glanced at the book’s price.
Name: Demon Dog’s Speed Star.
Price: 100,000 Otherworldly Coins.
"It’s so expensive… And I have to take into account my spending for Tier 2 items from the grocery store." Clovis looked down, falling into deep thought.
"The competition will start in five days. And it will last for about three days." Clovis glanced at Blue. "Suppose I don’t earn anything in the next eight days and immediately get a huge sum of money. In that case, how many books can I buy while still maintaining my purchase of Tier 2 items from the grocery store?"
Blue seemed to process the question for a bit before giving him an answer.
[In that case, I recommend you buy no more than seven books.]
"Seven books, huh? Around seven hundred thousand. It means I still have over a million. Then again, the items from the grocery store have become pretty expensive. And if we have to take into account other items that I might end up buying, I guess this is reasonable."
Clovis thought for a moment. He wanted to purchase it for his teammates, but he wondered if they would get baffled with those names. They might even call him crazy for putting fantasy creatures in the titles.
"Whatever. Progress is progress. Still, seven books, huh? Even if I give one to each of them… I can still get three books for myself.
"It’s going to be impossible for me to learn all that in such a short amount of time." Clovis thought for a moment. "In that case, I will buy Werewolf’s Basic Footwork, Demon Dog’s Speed Star and Knight Basic Swordsmanship for me.
"Mhmm… Elf’s Sniping Guide should be pretty good for Kanaria. Minotaur’s Muscle Swing will be for Jay. Dwarven’s Shield Technique is perfect for Ragna. As for Melody…" Clovis paused for a moment, contemplating between two books. "Maybe I should buy Eagle Vision. Kanaria and Melody can share it like this.
But will they feel discontent about it?"
Clovis glanced at Blue, asking, "If I photocopied the books…"
[It will infringe the copyright. Another World Mall will receive the book back and punishment shall be delivered.]
"Seriously? Can I just let them share without copying it?"
[Yes.]
"How about other items? What if I sell them?"
[Nothing will happen as long as it’s within the law.]
"What is the law?" Clovis asked.
[This is the guide.]
Blue projected a document with a lot of words on it.
"Ugh. Why does it look so annoying to read? Basically, it’s similar to the law of my world, right?"
[Yes.]
"I think I get the gist of it." Clovis let out a long sigh. "It seems that I have no other choice but to buy another book."
Clovis decided to buy the Eagle Vision and the Ogre’s Leadership books.
Melody would benefit a lot from the latter while she shared the Eagle Vision with Kanaria.
"It’s hard to be a leader. You have to be careful so that the members don’t feel left out or annoyed. My poor wallets." Clovis let out a long sigh. He would need to be careful not to have any surprise purchases after this.
Blue helped him take the books to the cashier. After paying for everything, Clovis couldn’t help but ask, "Blue. Do you mind if I actually stay here and practice a bit? The mall is spacious, right?"
[Yes.]
"Will I get a punishment or something if I end up breaking things in this place?"
[If it’s items that are for sale, it will be considered as buying them. If it’s an item not for sale such as a glass window or wall, you will have to pay for it.]
"Pay, huh?"
[Yes. The coins will be deducted directly from your wallet.]
"…" Clovis let out a long sigh. "Alright. I will just practice in a proper space. There are still a few days to get ready, so I might gain some insight. The problem will be how I can persuade my teammates. Can I change the title?"
[You can but it will be unethical.]
"How about you give me some reasons to convince them, Blue?"
[In that case, how about…]
