[SKILL # 11]
* Swordfighting.
Won from Skill Game 14: Magical girls for the Green Knight.
Mithos uses a light, one-handed sword! It is probably an edged rapier or whatever they call that in Aselia.
That means he effectively has two weapon sets/styles in Aather. With the sword, he's been trained both formally by Kratos and in the RPG hero style (that is, kill lots of shit on the road until you are great at it), he's very good with it, but he's gone four months without it and it's not really a second-nature weapon anymore.
With dual knives, he has pretty much been trained from scratch by Lloyd and the Uchihas and worked out his own style (hilarity: the style there is ALSO the one taught by Kratos --> adapted for Lloyd's two swords --> adapted for Mithos's two knives and then with added ninja.) He is still learning and rough around the edges, but he's grown to prefer them as weapons and is comfortable with them.
But it's not like he wants to lose a useful regained skill either! Chances are he will train with both weapon types separately. There will be a long awkward period of working that out, until he's very very resettled into having both and using both and balancing them.
TL;DR Mithos has worn knives and been able to shank with them for a while; now he also wears a sword that he can shank with more efficiently; when he regains sword artes he'll also want to adapt them for the knife; you may see him train with either during the day; and now he legit seriously knows his way around a weapon. HOORAY!
