Chapter 27: Chapter 27
(Juri's view!)
Having gotten Mr. Pietro's support, I was very relieved, a huge weight coming off my back.
I still felt bad about what happened with Gabriela, I feel that she might have lied, but I don't want to believe it.
But since that day, our relationship became very distant.
I kept opening Portals to level up, buying lots of ammunition, while training, studying and practicing.
Mr. Pietro supporting me and giving me plenty of ammunition and spare parts.
Gabriela also soon left for a mission, she rested for 1 month, after this mission, she would officially become a Mid Level Agent.
I continued studying and practicing, so how about I tell you about my progress?
After the 2 and a half month time interval, which is the time for the Order recruit training to finish, I reached Level 68!
From level 43 to 68, I had 260 points in total, naturally I didn't accumulate them, I distributed them between Strength, Agility, Constitution and focus on Intelligence.
I think about 100~120 Points went to Intelligence, the rest was distributed equally between Strength, Agility and Constitution.
But ignoring that, I meditated a lot, where [Meditation] reached Level 99 and has been stopping there ever since.
But along with that, my [Magic Energy Control] went to Level 73, which made me understand my Mana a lot, I know how to manage it very well.
I ended up finding and unlocking the 2nd set of Magic Veins, now the increase was 10% in the amount of Mana, where I currently have 3,104 MP!
With this I was able to test many things, understanding how to externally control my Mana, so [Mana Trigger] is at Level 43, being able to reach 12 Meters.
And to support me, I acquired the skill [Magical Knowledge] which is at Level 21.
This skill helped me to better understand Magic, but how did I get it? Obviously by reading the Skill Books!
Because I hunted a lot in Dungeons Level 1~15, I soon began to focus on Level 11~20, where I gained much more XP and loot!
I just needed to spend more ammo and time.
But I got many things with time, for example the spells: Magic Missiles, Water Ball, Fire Ball, Mana Shield and Freezing Palm!
Except for the [Flaming Palm] which I learned by consuming the book, the others I learned by reading them and studying their contents.
The result was that I didn't understand a damn thing at first!
The information there was confusing and strange, not that it was wrong or meant to be complicated, just that there was a lot that was difficult to understand without professional help.
An example of this would be if you start presenting various mathematical problems that are learned in the last year of high school, to a child who has not even finished elementary school.
The child won't understand a damn thing, it's the same for me, there is a lot of advanced stuff here, theories and information that I can't understand because I don't have a base!
But reading them constantly, experimenting, doing a lot of damage to me, I could understand how things worked.
I could understand that Magic is well connected to emotions and the mind, as I use my mind to shape my Mana and Magic the way I wish, emotions being in the mind, naturally affects spells and Mana.
Where I understand what happened to Gabriela, she was affected by my lust towards her....
But ignoring that, I don't want to think about those things, or I will get depressed.
The focus is that with this I understood the basis of Magic, being able to learn the various spells from the books without consuming them, and together I created new Spells, among them: Mana Arrow and Mana Strengthening!
The [Mana Arrow] is the same as the [Mana Shot], except that I'm not simply accumulating Mana and throwing it, where the form is often random.
The [Mana Arrow] can go up to about 40 meters, where I shape it into the shape of an arrow, where it gains significant penetrating power.
Mana Strengthening], on the other hand, is best seen for themselves:
[Mana Strengthening, Lv.1]
Type: Active & Passive
Effect: Magically strengthen your body! +1 Strength, Agility and Constitution! Cost: 100 MP! Duration: 1 Minute!
It's currently at Level 21, that is +21 Strength, Agility and Constitution, the price being the same, so I can leave it active for about 30 minutes.
I acquired this ability while thinking about the [Aura] I often read about in Webnovels, Webtoons and so on, a power that surrounds a person's body and strengthens them.
Curious and very excited I went to test it, the result was that on the first attempt while stiffening the Mana in my body, I ended up failing and exploded, where I lost half my HP and became unconscious.
First time fainting since the thing with that Tristan guy, I wonder how he put me to sleep.
But well, after that I was afraid to continue, but my curiosity and determination spoke louder, the result was that I got fucked, I was bedridden for several nights in agony of pain, but I finally succeeded!
And with this success, came the practice, raising the skill to Level 21, where I get a 46~51 point bonus on my Physical Attributes.
This is very good, even more so now that because I've passed Level 50, my [Negative Energy] has changed, in fact it's the [Negative Power] that has improved, going from [Low Level] to [Medium Level].
The 10% Bonus went to 20%, at Level 68, I get a +136 Point bonus on all Attributes!
This allows me to face Level 30 physical creatures on equal footing!
If I use everything I have to strengthen my body, I think I can reach 400 points in my Physical Attributes, which means I can face physical creatures of Level 40 and be victorious!
Finally I'm getting really strong, and I'm focusing on the Attribute [Intelligence], because if I wasn't throwing almost half of the Points I gain at it, Agility and Constitution would probably be at 300 Points.
But I won't think about it too much, there's no point in getting desperate and rushing things, I'm getting very strong and understanding my powers and capabilities better.
But well, in those 2 months, I not only got my hands on Magic Abilities, I got some Active and Passive ones, those being:
[Enhanced Senses, Lv.1]
Type: Passive
Effect: Amplifies all 5 senses by 2%!
[Improved Luck, Lv.--]
Effect: Increases Luck Attribute by +20!
[Hare Ferocity, Lv.1]
Type: Active
Effect: At the cost of 50 HP and 100 MP, get 10.1% faster, in exchange for 19.9% of your Rationality!
[Concentrated Hit, Lv.1]
Effect: Concentrate your attention on a single point, add your Mana and attack! +101% Physical Damage! Cost: 100 MP!
Iron Skin [Iron Skin, Lv.1]
Effect: Concentrate your Mana on your skin, stiffen it and get the resistance of iron! +303% Physical&Magical Defense! Cost: 150 MP! Duration: 15 Seconds!
These are the 5 Skills, Passive and Active, that I got!
The [Hare's Ferocity], [Concentrated Strike] and [Iron Skin] are what I call Technique, there are Skills and Rituals with similar effects, but here the principles are quite different.
And unlike the Spell Skill Books, the ones with the Techniques, are relatively easy to understand, complicated to learn!
I didn't consume the books, I wanted to learn on my own and using the book's method, I developed the 3 Skills without problems.
And because I got some repeated spell books, I gave one to Mr. Pietro to consume and learn the language of the books.
Then I helped him to feel his Mana, while trying my best to explain him about everything.
And Mr. Pietro turned out to be a very good student, not to mention that since I had no lustful thoughts in his direction, my Mana didn't affect him that much.
He was able after 3 weeks to feel his Mana, while understanding the flow of it.
Recently he learned how to expel Mana from his body, we almost had an incident, as he couldn't stop, but I was successful in helping him.
So he is practicing how to better control his Mana and searching for the 1st set of Magic Veins, I said it was better to learn spells only when he unlocked the 1st set, it would be much easier.
Mr. Pietro was very obedient and understanding, leaving things to me.
But he learned the [Concentrated Strike] and [Hare's Ferocity], he had no problems, now he is improving them and helping me with data about the experiments.
We're even talking about the means, using them as a basis, as well as the Paranormal knowledge of Mr. Pietro's Rituals and Skills, to convert into Magical Techniques!
Of course, we haven't succeeded yet, and I left that part to Mr. Pietro.
Trying Magic is something volatile and has high chances of failure, but Techniques, they are simple to learn, only complex.
But if you have a good head, time and body, you can learn without too many problems.
Unfortunately Gabriela is not here, [Iron Skin] would be very useful for her.
...
Well, there is much more to talk about, but the story must progress, but before that, stay with my wonderful Status!
