Anarchist Cookbook: Post-System Edition was a complete wash for him. It had plenty of great material. Some of the things in it he''d even thought he''d actually be interested in learning.
A Brief Introduction to the Esoteric Realities of a Post-System World was a wash for him, too. It was actually even less useful for Levi. Skimming it, he definitely knew it hit on things that could and would change the way a person used mana, if not even more. But it was like reading a textbook far beyond his comprehension.
The Essence of You: Why What''s at Your Core May Be All You Need was something he knew he could use.
The Essence of You.
"Oy, it''s my turn, you greedy prick," one of the crows called out from the branches above.
"That''s easy, love. When you are a friend of crows, you''re a friend to us all. Us crows are a network, and we spread the word. That''s why you don''t ever cross one of us crows, you see. We''ll put a target on your back."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, just have her tell us what she wants to see, and we''ll pass it along for her."
"Boys and birds, boys and birds, you did it again! Bloody genius," said the nearest crow.
"That''s they idea, lass. We''ll do our best."
"What else, lass? It ain''t no problem, we promise." Came quiet caws.
"Who''s that, lass?"
"Not at all, not at all. It''s something us crows are good at. Let us give it a go. I think we all want to impress. Got a good future in front of us with you, I hope."
''Is that Tai Chi?'' she wondered. His face seemed so intense. As he moved from one position to the next, his vision stared at nothing, his face without expression, as if his entire focus was on himself.
"The boys are asking if we should...um, shit on him, miss."
"Well, we ain''t proud of it, miss. We ain''t no pigeons, you see. But if he did you wrong, we''ve been known to do the dirty job when the need calls for it."
"Okay, Okay. As you say, miss."
''why not?'' had used the lessons as just something to do for free.
