CH.336 New People Level Up
After introducing Mariina to Lady Janina, and carefully sidestepping the part where Lady Janina is basically a demigod dragon, we got on with our lesson on soul magic stuff. Again, not sure if it counts as magic or a magical technique, because with dragons, those two are kind of interchangeable. For example flight. For dragons, it is a technique. For , it falls under Draconic Magic, not Draconic Body. Actually, the sa goes for breathing fire. Or any other attribute breath really. For dragons, it is a natural technique they just learn to do, kind of like walking. I was going to say breathing, but it isn’t quite that easy for them, at least based on what Agunan told .
So yeah. complaining about having to learn Draconic magic techniques aside, I think looking at ‘Soul Magic’ more like a magical skill is more accurate than looking at it as magic. Similar to how Telekinesis or Alice’s Mana Flight are both magical techniques, but definitely not magic.
And to be honest, having Mariina take part in these Soul lessons was a blessing in disguise. She knew a lot of the right questions to ask, so that Lady Janina would explain things in ways we would actually be able to replicate. The two of them really showed their smarts when it ca to magic, instead of it just being ‘Do this’ and we try to do that, without having any real idea on how that is done. But now with Mariina’s help, it felt like we improved five lessons worth in just one.
And don’t think Lady Janina didn’t notice. She did, and she was quite impressed by ‘the human lady with the spirit’. And because Mariina impressed Lady Janina, and helped in our lesson, I felt like showing her a bit of sothing.
With my race changed to Spiritual Human and us outside where we had so nice plants to use as a focus point, I activated my new skill.
“Summon Nature Spirit.”
With my skill activated and one of the flowers, not a mana producing one, as a focal point, a nature spirit began to take shape. Unlike the large human-sized alraune looking greater spirit, the one that ca to this ti was a smaller one. About one ter tall girl made of flowers. Well, to be more accurate, her body was made of… that green material that flower stems are, her hair was leaves, with a few flowers here and there. Her hands were flowers and her feet looked a bit like roots. A little flower girl, I suppose.
“... when did this happen?” Mariina asked. “I knew about the water spirits, but this?”
“Two days ago when we were in the Green dungeon.” I answered. “But that isn’t the only part I wanted to show you. Can you… Oh? He ca out on his own.” I said, as I noticed that Mariina’s spirit friend ca out of her staff and ford a little earth body for himself.
As I looked at the two interdiate spirits … talking? Or are they playing? Well, either way. Let’s try if this works, but it should.
“Earth spirit, Earth Hole.” I commanded Mariina’s spirit with Spirit Magic.
The spirit quickly heard and did as I ordered. A small hole appeared exactly where I wanted it to.
Oh, I guess now is not the correct ti, but still a ti to talk about sothing regarding One of Every Race. Well, mainly the sub-skills under that skill. I can use them when I am of any race of my choosing, but the skills are powered up quite a bit when I am currently of the race that skill belongs to. So if I were to use … Advanced Summoning Magic, but I wasn’t a Summoner, the skill would actually be weaker. The sa goes for using Spirit Magic while I’m not a Spiritual Human, and using the Draconic skills while I’m not Dragon Hearted.
But enough about my Unique-Racial skill, what is important now is my Spirit Magic skill.
“... so, you asked my contracted spirit for that, and he agreed? Why?” Mariina asked.
“It is called Spirit Magic.” I told her honestly, because of … well, you’ll hear in just a second. “It is a racial skill accessible to those that evolve into a race that is close with spirits. I’m showing it to you, as I believe you have a high chance of evolving into such a race, considering that you already have a contract with a spirit.”
“I have already evolved into a Sorceress, so I wouldn’t be so sure.” Mariina told .
“And who said you can’t evolve twice?”
“... no one, but it isn’t that common with humans. I know a lot of the animal-kin races evolve multiple tis, but humans usually only evolve once.”
“Perhaps. But just sothing to keep in mind.”
“I shall. … But I might need to start grinding for levels again. There is no way I will evolve a second ti if I don’t.”
“Well, there is one way, but I won’t tell you unless you work for . Or at least swear yourself to secrecy. Actually, I could use Mind Crush.”
“... I don’t like the sound of that.”
“Don’t worry. It won’t activate unless you share my secrets.”
“... is this… sothing I must do?”
“No, no. Of course not. This far you haven’t seen that many… overly crazy things. I an, HoBase and Lady Janina aside, as those are things many people will soon learn about, I do have other little secrets. And while a few of your sisters already know about them, I’m not so sure I want the Sage’s tower knowing about them.”
“... I don’t follow. Why keep it from the Sage’s tower?”
“Because I don’t trust powerful organizations. Maybe I’m just paranoid, but I don’t want them kidnapping and forcing to do what they want to do.”
“Do you think we have the strength to do so?”
“I’m not sure. If you have so sort of skill negating thing, maybe?”
“So you think we would kidnap you and risk facing the wrath of not just that fire dragon, but also this Lady Janina as well? Even if we could keep you from using your cards, what about those two? Even just Alice could do a lot of damage if she felt like she had been wronged. And when the public learns that all of it is because we decided to kidnap soone, whose side do you think they would be?”
“Good question. The common people are easy to fool. They believe what they hear first. And out of the two of us, you are the ones with more credibility at this mont. You could say you had to take in because I’m dangerous. And let’s be honest here, because of both the rumors and what happened with drunk moron Jas, I don’t have the best reputation in the first place.”
“... I suppose that would be so. But what about that … Mind Crush? What was that about? How would that..?”
“It is a card I have. It lets delete soone’s mories about sothing I choose.”
