Chapter 124 - Skills

"Nope!" Alea shrugged. "You are in charge. In fact, I feel sad for you since you need to keep us in check."
"No, no. Everyone is cooperating. The one that makes it hard for me is you." Theo shook his head with a smile. His tone was serious as if he truly felt that way.
"Wait, what?!" Alea grabbed Theo's shoulders in panic. She asked, "What do you mean? There is still Laust, right?"
"He will be cooperating right now."
"Wait, no way, I am—" Ellen covered her mouth while saying with a smile. "Alright, alright. Let's stop here first, okay? I want to ask one thing. Do you think we should share information about the skill the instructor plans to give us?"
"That's up to you. Sooner or later, we will know, so there's no point in hiding it. You can simply say it while training or something, so no pressure."
"Okay."
"Then, we should wrap everything up, right? Do you want to celebrate somewhere?" Phyrill asked.
"No, I don't think I will. Just let me rest after this long fight. I'm tired." Theo shook his head. He indeed felt tired mentally since controlling all these guys was hard.
"Well…" Ellen felt embarrassed and looked at Phyrill and Sihan. "Let's return and rest then. We can deal with the rest in the chat group."
Alea also didn't say anything and agreed without hesitation. Theo was indeed the one who worked the most in this match, so he deserved a full rest.
He and the others then left the school as Theo went separate ways and returned to his new apartment. He remembered he needed to pay the rent in another ten days, making him even more frustrated.
However, he decided to not think about it since he planned to grab everything he could and turn them into money in the next stage of training.
When Theo reached his house, he couldn't help but fall to the bed, feeling lifeless. This was a time where he didn't want to do anything or think about anything.
Without realizing it, he began to wander around his dream.
…
8 PM.
Everyone received their own package. When they opened it, all of them were surprised for various reasons.
Alea stared at her skill with a blank look for a few minutes because she didn't understand why the instructor gave this skill to her.
Skill: Enchant Blade (D)
Effect: Enchant your blade with magic power.
"Does he want me to become an Enchanter?" Alea tilted her head. "Besides, my affinity is Fire. Although I can use this perfectly fine, I won't be as good as Theo, who has no affinity."
Despite thinking for an hour, she couldn't understand the instructor's plan and thought he just wanted her to have a sharper sword while trying to help her teammate from time to time with this skill.
The same confusion was also present in the Hilbert Family.
Phyrill actually had the vision of which direction he was going. In this match, he lacked a powerful attack that could be used to deliver a killing blow to an enemy in an instant without relying on others. Yet, the skill he got was his best ability, his movement.
Skill: Lightning Step (D)
Effect: By manipulating the electric current in the ground and foot, the user can become two to three times faster.
"Why does he send me something I'm good at?" Phyrill shook his head while trying to find the answer.
Ellen wasn't that confused since she understood her role very much.
Skill: Frost Misty (D)
Effect: A thick mist at low temperature.
Like the mist that Theo took advantage of to kill her when they first trained the Force Control, the instructor seemed to want her to help for the support by creating an opportunity by weakening her opponents. This mist could lower one's ability with the cold. And it could also become a smokescreen for them.
Meanwhile, Sihan didn't hesitate and absorbed the skill as soon as he saw the skill description.
Skill: Frenzy (D)
Effect: Increase blood circulation in the body so the user can use twenty percent more of its physical abilities for five minutes. After that, the user will feel tired for thirty minutes. Caution: Maximum usage every day (2).
The same didn't apply to Laust. He simply stood in front of his room, looking at his garden. In his hand was the card he got earlier.
Skill: Sonic Speed (D)
Effect: Increase one's speed by creating an explosive burst of Magic Power in the foot.
While they contemplated their next move about the skills, Theo was woken up by a bell ringing in his house. It must be the package.
With sleepy eyes, he made his way to the front door and found a wrapped paper laying on the ground. He quickly grabbed and opened it, finding something unique.
"This…" Theo didn't know what to say when he saw this skill.
Skill: Illusion Multiplier (D)
Effect: The user can duplicate skills multiple times in one use. (Max: 3 times)
Theo tried to check the skill in the database and was shocked by its real power. From what he learned, the monster possessing this skill was a rare monster that was hard to come by. A skill like this was probably worth at least a million Zils.
Still, what he learned from the description in the Skylink Database was beyond his imagination. He understood that the skill would be super powerful in his hands. It might not be that good for Alea or the others while having some good combinations with Ellen.
However, the one that had a perfect affinity with this skill was him.
"This skill can allow me to imitate the Clone Skill, Magic Bullet, and Elemental Shield. In other words, since my clone can use this skill too, I can bring out this skill two hundred percent of its potential. At the same time, I and my clone can summon three more Magic Bullets, meaning we will have a maximum of eighty smaller Magic Bullets.
"Even though the Magic Bullets produced by this skill won't give any damage to my opponent, they need to protect themselves from all my bullets because the real ones are in the mix. This will be fatal and make it easier for me to manipulate someone, especially people who don't understand my skills.
"This instructor…" Theo couldn't help but smirk, feeling excited about this instructor. Just like the principal said, this instructor might not be the best in the words department, but he might be the best instructor they could get. "Interesting."
