For only 20,000 Col, Get this wonderful Skill Manual that will enable you to truly choose your character without the pain of experimentation. It comes with skills gathered from multiple players, including the Black Swordsman Kirito and the Holy Sword Heathcliff. I bear no responsibilities if the information in this manual regarding Extra Skills proves to be misleading.

«Description»
This skill involves equipping a thin, long sword suited for battling with tremendous speed and precision, mostly for piercing and thrusting purposes. By using any of its related active skills, you can level up this skill by 1 point, with a 100% chance, for each hit (successful or blocked) on an NPC whose level has a discrepancy of no lower than 20 levels. This chance is reduced by 0.9% for every point, like compound interest, so at 100 skill points, the chance becomes 99.1%^100, or 40.4%; at 500 skill points the chance becomes 1.0884%; at 900 skill points the chance becomes 0.02926099141710991839343549809352% meaning you'll get your next point approx. after 3417 hits.

«Pre requisites»
Must have «One-Handed Sword» at 50 points.

«Post requisites»
Lock-On Pierce (Must have Parry; at 500 Skill Points; Difference between STR and AGI is 20 or more.)
«Extra» Spirit Sword (?)

[«Tree Skill Inheritance» allows the Parent Skill's «Parent Requisites» to have same conditions for this skill to be activated.]

«Notes»
Most girls use this because of their elegance when it comes to using skills. However, I have seen men mastering this skill, I wonder why? I mean, it has become a common culture to call that skill "beautiful."
- Argo

"I never once regretted not mastering this skill."
- Asuna

"…Asuna-sama's beautiful when using that skill. I wonder if I should master it too?"
- One of the female «KoB» members.

(Response: I guess «Asuna» is half the reason that skill is so popular.)

"The «Rapier» is a double-edged «skill», per se. By sacrificing your STR, you can practically avoid enemy attacks while attacking yourself at the same time. The «weapon skills» have low cool down too."
- «Heathcliff»

(Response: It was a miracle I even got to talk to him just once. Talk about luck!)

"The «Rapier», HAHAHAHAHA! That skill is for «girls»!"
- a «DDA» member.

(Response: He DOES know that Spanish and French used it in the Middle Ages and Renaissance right?)
