Chapter 62: Chapter 62

“Could it be that you are a greater being?”

What’s with being a greater being, all of a sudden?

But the Master Mage couldn’t be more serious.

‘In the fantasy world, greater beings usually refer to dragons…’

Did he feel the power of a dragon or a power equivalent to that from my mana?

“No. You can check it out yourself.”

When I spoke confidently, the Master Mage narrowed his eyes and wrinkled his nose.

“Then may I check your mana?”

“Yes, of course.”

“I’ll put my mana in your mana and check it out.”

I nodded gently and held out my arm.

The Master Mage grabbed my wrist, and something seemed to be spreading in that part.

‘Is this the mana of the Master Mage?’

But at that moment.

I didn’t do anything, but something moved in my body.

Even if it is not obvious, a heavy power pushed away the mana of the Master Mage.

“Huh…?”

However, the Master Mage let go of my hand without a sign of displeasure.

“I’ve never seen such pure mana. That’s amazing. Excuse me, Madam. I apologize.”

Rather, he seemed excited. There was a look of admiration.

“Usually, when other people’s magic enters the body, they are wary of the energy, but it is rare to extinguish it like this. Madam’s mana sensitivity is quite high.”

I don’t know what he meant, but I felt like I was amazing.

“It’s a real shame that such talent was hidden.”

“No, I thought I didn’t have any mana, but I was surprised to see it all of a sudden.”

“People born with a huge amount of mana, awaken their power late. I think that’s the case for you, too.”

The Master Mage added justification on his own without me having to say anything.

‘Good. I can use that excuse from now on.’

I was thinking about what to say to people about my suddenly unsealed mana.

No one would think it’s weird because I got confirmation from the head of the Magic Tower.

“It is a loss of mankind to let this talent rot. I’ll take responsibility and guide you.”

“Yes, I look forward to your kind cooperation.”

That’s how the class began, and throughout, the Master Mage was amazed.

“I’m not sure because my mana died out in the middle, but your mana is not completely unsealed. What a surprise.”

“Will it be completely unsealed?”

“You can learn how to use magic and help the mana that is in your heart flow through your body.”

I did what he told me to do.

“Close your eyes and feel the power hovering around your heart. The hard-knit force slowly loosens up and flows out little by little.”

“Yes, I’ll try.”

As the Master Mage said, I could feel something spreading around my heart.

“Wow, that’s amazing! I feel like my body is lightened and my fatigue is gone!”

“That’s it! Amazingly, you succeeded on your first try! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone like you.”

“Long time?”

“Yes, you’re the first one to succeed since I did.”

The Master Mage seemed happier than I am.

So the first class ended successfully.

☆*: .｡.  .｡.:*☆

In the carriage back to the mansion after class.

[There are notifications that you have not checked. Do you want to check?]

I couldn’t wait until I arrived at the mansion so I opened the system window.

[Characteristics can be upgraded. Do you want to level up?]

I accepted the level up.

[Leveling up……… Successfully leveled up!]

[Current rating: D]

[50 fate energy will be given as a level-up reward]

‘Is this the end?’

I deliberately tried to level up after learning how to handle mana.

I watched the notification window carefully.

Soon, a new notification came to mind.

[Learned a new skill ]

I immediately checked the information about the new skill.

[Enhancing items unconsciously]

Skill specially provided to you who have achieved the hidden conditions

You can use this skill once per recalled item.

No one knows what effect will be given as much as unconsciously enhancing items.

But don’t worry too much. Sometimes unconsciousness leads you to better results than when conscious.]

I’m a little worried because it’s “unconscious,” but it was good to be able to strengthen an item.

‘If it can be used simultaneously with the skill I have, 〈Walk on the flower path!〉, it would be great.’

Since I remembered it, I decided to try it right away.

‘Shall I enhance the lie detector?’

The lie detector was an item that had to always be worn for summoning.

As such, I thought it would be good to enhance it in advance.

[Do you want to invoke the skill ?]

‘Good. I’ll start with the flowery road buff.’

[Skill will be activated.]

[Will you use the skill ?]

I then invoked my new skill.

[Skill will be used]

Please specify the item to apply the skill .]

‘Lie detector.’

[The target item for will be designated]

[Target designated: A lie detector from the unknown world]

[The designated target will be strengthened]

White light gushed from the system window and wrapped the lie detector ring.

After a while.

[The lie detector has been reinforced]

I checked the information about the lie detector.

[Lie detector summoned from an unknown world]

-Grade: Grade C

– Item Description: A lie detector in the form of a ring. Touch to determine a lie for a certain amount of time.

– Reinforcement properties: passive features are added. Item works even if you don’t press it randomly]

The rating went up two notches and the name was changed.

‘There’s a passive feature added.’

I’m not sure if it’ll be useful yet.

‘It’s fun… It’s like gacha.’

(t/n: gacha is like a random draw/roulette in games)

I also tried to strengthen other items that sounded interesting.

[Will you use the skill ?]

‘Yes.’

[Skill will be used]

Please specify the item to apply [Skill .]

“Slingshot.”

I took a slingshot out of the inventory and held it in my hand.

The slingshot was the only item that could be used for attack among the items I summoned.

‘If I strengthen its attack power, I can use it in case of an emergency.’

[The target item for will be designated]

[The designated target: Slingshot from the unknown world]

[The designated target will be strengthened]

The white light that came out again this time surrounded the slingshot.

[The enhancement of the slingshot

has been completed]

I opened the information window about the slingshot with joy.

What kind of function is enhanced this time?’

[A slingshot from an unknown world]

-Grade: Grade B

– Item Description: Use the user’s mana to adjust the power of the slingshot.

– Enhancement characteristics: Accuracy will be increased when using the item. Added functionality to eliminate user foot odor.]

Eh…?’

Did I see it wrong?

However, it remained the same even after I checked it several times.

I thought calmly.

‘It’s good to increase the accuracy. It’s a very good thing. But what’s the next sentence?’

What does slingshot have to do with foot odor? My feet don’t even smell!

‘I can use each item’s skill at least once, so I can’t even finish it.’

I couldn’t believe this result came out even when I got the flower path buff.

After the skill  threw me a useless feature, I stopped using it.

‘How can it add such useless functions?’

I think I’m out of luck today, so let’s try again next time.

Meanwhile, the carriage arrived at the mansion.

‘But I worked harder than anyone else today.’

I’ve leveled up twice, and I’ve acquired new skills anyway, and I’ve been taught by the head of the Magic Tower.

“I’m going to go to bed and get some rest.”‘

People get sick when they are too busy.

Having been so busy in my previous life, I have come to value work-life balance.

But as I entered the mansion, I had a hunch that the plan would be disrupted.

“L, Lady Roselina. You’re here……?”

“You’re early. I thought you’d come later…………”

It was because all the maids I encountered were greatly embarrassed.

‘What? What’s going on?’

Gradually, the ominousness grew.

And it wasn’t long before I realized.

“I can’t rest today.”

That voice coming out of the drawing room is familiar.

“I asked you to go back.”

“I can’t do that. Until I see Roselina.”

Because it was Argention’s.
