@Bugfragged he might just use the dragon as exp since he already has the abilities, or subjugate it, personally i'd think he wouldn't want to waste any time because he doesn't really know what to expect from the other hero
@Nikacino well if you'd been pushed around and annoyed by a party of people like 90's anime for 10 years, i'm sure you'd want to do things differently and not want to be pushed around
well he certainly killed two birds with one stone, he gained a lot of xp (although 4-162 for killing a lvl 850+ character seems way off) and now a former party member will not join whatsoever, unless he has other plans
@ngoctc quick and swift, the thief class was the most popular in maplestory, and it makes the art look better than if the mc was a two-handed tank or something. ofc there are outliers but that's the general idea
@greyhud90 he paid with all the stats he gained then he did block A again more efficiently so he ended with more at the end. since he already went through it he knew how to maximize the point gains
