Reading is Fundamental [Open]

[Odd as it might seem, the guy with the giant sword spends most of his free time in the library. Roy gets plenty of exercise in class (Fighter College had less rigorous training than the body-strengthening marefs!), and he's long past the point where routine training drills with his blade can do more than keep the rust off. So instead, Roy has devoted himself to acquiring information -- about the world, about the dungeons, about magic, about anything he can get his hands on, in the belief that any piece of information could prove useful in the long term.]

[Given how little knowledge had accidentally fallen into his lap this far, he definitely believes this campaign is one that requires active, independent research rather than one that conveniently hands over facts and helpful plot details in convenient notes and surprisingly-relevant books.]

[The truth is though that he doesn't have any ambition to be a scholar; he knows the basic tenets of Confucian principles, he hasn't got any interest in memorizing the scriptures and sitting for exams. No, the scholars life is not for him.]

I do not wish to disappoint but I am not very interested in mastering the other Six Arts. I do not think myself as a scholar. However, I have a keen interest in the military classics. Have you heard of Sun Tzu's Art of War? It is an essential reading for any general.
