When the T3 Main Race ended, proficiency had been at 8%. It had only increased by 2% over these ten days or so.
The situation was a little like Protect.
For most skills, practice began with unfamiliarity and poor results, but proficiency rose quickly in the early stages. Once it reached 80%, progress slowed.
Complex skills such as Protect and Quiver Dance, however, had a difficult early stage.
With low proficiency, the skill could not be used, making proficiency difficult to improve;
with proficiency difficult to improve, it remained low for a long time, and the skill still could not be used.
So far, Lilligant had only barely managed to use Quiver Dance during the Main Race, and it had been short-lived, with disordered skill pathways.
After that, she had almost never succeeded.
During yesterday's Fuchsia City Regular Race, Lilligant had not dared to try it at all.
First, there was no need. Even if she managed to use it at low proficiency, its effects would be incomplete;
second, it was dangerous. Her copilot was Chansey, who lacked Shen Qi's wealth of driving experience and ability to salvage a situation.
At most, Chansey could ensure she rescued Lilligant after an accident. She could not warn her about potential rollover risks while driving.
"Lilligant, I'll help raise your Quiver Dance proficiency a little, just like when we practiced Protect last time."
Once the skill's proficiency reached twenty or thirty percent, she could at least use it awkwardly and get some reasonably effective practice.
"Is that okay...? That kind of improvement seems to come at a very high cost."
"It's fine. Sometimes I have to use special methods to improve my own skill proficiency too."
The reason Shen Qi had been able to use Nene Ninja Technique relatively smoothly during the T3
