7 7 Workplace (2)
[Lucy's POV: ]
[You have received: 500 Oz.]
[You have received: Growth crystal.]
[You have received: 20 Skill points.]
Looking at the floating status window before , my lips curved up as looked at El.
"World line is generous this ti~." I giggled and took out a small blue crystal from the box that appeared before us.
The reward system was part of the world line and most of the things were random in them.
She designed the system, so she knew what type of rewards we can get from different unknown tasks and I knew how the automated system distributed rewards.
But, what we both didn't know was how the system would reward things to soone as young as us who accomplished things that took at least 10 years to even the MCs of the ga.
There was soone among these MCs who was also a reincarnation of an almost similar world to us but, she didn't know how this world worked.
We naturally had the upper hand and a lot more information than the main characters in the story.
The rewards we just got for the youngest ones to unlock the [Workplace] were pretty good too.
The crystal in my hand was one thing, but the very first Oz we got was also more than what I was expecting.
You only get five Oz when you kill the ranked beast, the weakest of the magical creatures or from the system perspective, monsters.
Ten Oz for rank, twenty-five for rank, fifty for rank, a hundred for rank, two hundred-fifty for rank, and a thousand for , , , and ranked beasts, but those things are just too overpowered compared to others.
There were also so , [Deamon kings], and [Gods] that the system registered as [EX] ranked existence.
Their sheer presence was so powerful that they could destroy the life forms like us.
They lived in a separate space and watched over the world line's different planets, forrly known as the (Spectators).
As entertainnt, they gave different creatures their stigmas, powers, and gifts and make them their vessels or puppets… bastards.
But, those things were rare in the world line and nothing like this will happen till later parts of the 'ga'.
"Looks like the world is pitying us~." my cute sister chuckled and took out the glowing crystal from her box.
============
[Growth crystal]
-Increases learning speed inside the workplace and concentration for five hours.
[Restricted to the user with the ntal body of [Better] or above]
============
I already knew about this, so there wasn't much need to see things other than the restrictions.
However harsh the conditions to use the rewarded growth crystal are, the better they perform when used.
Though we got the lowest-ranked one, it was enough to complete one skill for .
"See you in the morning, master~." She cheerfully laughed and set down on her bed with a smile.
"Please take care of too, master~." With a bright smile on my face, I also walked to her.
Standing before her, I gave her a warm, loving, and passionate kiss… on her forehead.
She smiled with a mix of sweet-bitter expression and settled down on her bed.
Climbing the ladder of the double bed, I also dropped down on my bed.
[ "Ready?" ]she asked in my mind and I answered in an excited voice.
[ "I'm doing {Horizontal slash}, what about you? {Dismantle} or {Elental magic}?" ] I asked, and put the small blue crystal in my mouth.
[ "{Dismantle}. I'm doing twin swords, rember? I will be an anti-magic swordsman." ] She answered with a chuckle.
A smirk painted on my face from her words as I looked at the ceiling.
[ "But you're a girl~." ] I teased my lovely sister for the last ti before calling my blue, translucent system window.
[ "I'm indeed a 'girl'." ] Her voice was genuine, and it contained her evil, mischievous tone.
My hands stopped as I thought about the deep and not-so-pure aning behind those words, and I shook my head.
[ "Good night, S.I.S.T.E.R." ] I replied in a sorrowful but warm voice.
[ "Good night Lucy~." ] Answering in the sa sad but warm voice, she entered her workplace… this whole sibling thing was still weird.
"Access [Workplace]. ID: Lucifer. Start skill creation."
[ID confird.]
[Entering Workspace. Starting skill creation.]
[Select the type and thod of skill creation.]
A blue light passed through my closed eyes, and it transferred my subconscious into an endless white place.
I could feel much stronger and free in this place than in my physical body.
My appearance was still the sa as that of a child, but I already had strength and control like a fit, powerful body.
Three system windows were opened before my eyes and asked to select and follow the instructed steps.
Though I believed I knew all this, I followed all the instructions and finished the small tutorial. These small things were important for from the player's perspective, after all.
Selecting the [Repetition] thod from the two listed on the screen, I selected a simple sword skill as the skill type.
15:07
All I could do with my current physical body was simple slashes and, at most, one sword stance.
Soone like myself that gained the title of [Sword Master] in every ga I played would definitely have their own sword style.
And for , it was a very sophisticated sword dance.
But, I can't even think of that thing until I reach at least (Level-150).
In gas, there was no need to worry about the physical body as it was a ga, but in reality... I don't even know what might happen to if I so much as practice its breathing formula.
So, to start with the basics, I will have to perfect a horizontal slash and repeat it three thousand tis for starters.
After that, I will increase the training intensity.

[El's POV: ]
[Selecting thod: Spell creation.]
[Initializing canvas...]
A white system panel appeared before inside this already white space.
There were two thods of creating skills in the workplace.
1) Repeating the sa movents until you carve it inside the ntal body or 2) sketch everything from its core.
Lucy did everything with the first thod, so I already knew he might have swung his sword five hundred tis by now.
But, my work was more delicate and required higher concentration than willpower.
Every skill had a core or base from which it started.
Normally, these cores remained in the sa place and numbered only one, but in so cases with complicated, higher level, or self-made skills, the core shifted its place and numbered more than one.
If one could read these cores and inject Mana of the exact opposite wavelength, they can cancel the skill with much fewer efforts. This process of canceling a skill was called skill-neutralization, or what I mostly call it: anti-magic.
There is an obvious difference between simple magic or weapon arts or battle styles and skills however, the people of this world mostly prefer skills over the simple long thods where they had to go through a long ntal process.
This process of canceling a skill worked in three different ways.
1) Absorbing the whole spell that's technically not possible for normal humans.
2) Block it with the exact oppositely vibrating skill.
3) Pierce its core.
'Finding a core of skill is difficult and in cases of physical skills like Lucy's {Horizontal slash}, the core is mostly in a moving state.'
On top of that, in Lucy's case, he made a skill to be simple to understand but unimaginably difficult to grasp.
The {Slash} that was a simple [Grade-1] skill, got modified to be a perfect {Horizontal Slash}.
A skill with three cores where one core moved with the tip of the sword while the one on the handle and the body of the sword stayed still.
That punk will swing his fine sword at least twenty thousand tis before the system acknowledged it as a skill.
It wasn't easy and there wasn't much to understand in that skill, but I didn't know any fool that swung the sword in the sa motion and can do it until he gets every single one at the sa point.
I didn't have that powerful will, and I didn't need that.
I was still better than him.
My personal creation and so of the very few masterpieces in all of my works, a skill that can automatically dismantle skills under any conditions.
A skill that was almost a bug but still stayed within the guidelines of the Worldline.
He gave the nickna [Magic eater] because I had this skill.
Creating this skill was sothing I had to spend many in-ga days of 48 hours on in the past and here, it was surely going to take months.
The skill itself had 36 cores, and each and every one of them had three sub-cores of themselves.
If soone tried to break this skill with different thods, it would tangle them in the complicated net of these sub-cores.
Aside from restrictions, there was no possible break of this skill.
And I can lift the restrictions as my skill level advances…
"Oh! We got the skill points too~! Most valuable among the things we received." With a smirk, I looked at the skill points that we just received on my status window.
It was so of the most important things in this world ruled with powerful skills.
