'It's clear she has spent her time training to improve her base stats and advance the Skills she already has.' Rey found himself analyzing his opponent.

He surmised that the reason Trisha went to the Adventurers City was due the variety of Monsters she could kill, and the kind of experience--other than EXP--she could gain from their subjugation.

'She even has newer Skills. Her Level isn't bad either. That's good.'
