Chapter 250: The Love Birds Training Part 1! (1/2)
After setting their respective pen-knives to rotate in a fixed axis, Pedro and Sabrina's class started with Ragas—teaching the basics of Mana.
”What do you guys know about Magical Energy or Mana for short?” Ragas asked Pedro and Sabrina—who stood in front of him. At this moment, Clara and Faunia simply sat comfortably on the ground, resting while casually watching everyone's back.
The two lovebirds thought for a second, and it was Sabrina who answered first. She said, ”It's the energy used to cast skills.”
Ragas simply nodded in response and said, ”That's true, young miss! Magical Energy is the energy to be used or consumed to manifest specific abilities or skills. In the current state of humans these days, pre-recorded skills on skill pages were being used. Everyone might call it skills or abilities, in general, these days but… In the era of divine wars, it is the lowest in terms of strength compared to the other classification of skills, but is the most efficient and easy to learn and use skills—which were called ”Enmas Skills”!”
”Most of the users of such skills were humans and other lesser beings—whose aim was to win battles through using the quantity of forces than the quality! Well… It was sure effective to the point that the Demon Lord back then even needed to create the Demonic Pawns—or now famous as monsters, just to counter them.” At this moment, Ragas noticed that they are going a bit out of the topic. So, he can't help but scratch the back of his head and said, ”Well… We'll talk about that some other time. What's important for you to know, for now, is that the Enmas Skills were the weakest amongst all other skill categories.”
At this moment, Pedro raised his hand like a student and asked, ”Other than Enmas Skills that—if I understood correctly, is meant for mass production, what are the other so-called categories of skills? Does it have something to do with the reason why even weapons or equipment could have certain skills on their own?”
Ragas simply nodded and smile in response. Then, he explained, ”You can put it that way, young master! As for the other categories of skills, they are mostly separated dependent on the acquisition of the said skill or ability. For example…”
At this moment, Ragas' skin turned into scales—transforming into his humanoid form, while saying, ”For humanoid races like Dragons and Wyverns, and the shapeshifter races like Slimes, Werewolves, and vampires, we have the so-called transformation skill that is under the Espec Skills. The skills are often only available to a specific race and are often inherited by birth. And as you know it—since it is rare, Espec Skills are often overpowered in their own ways.”
Pedro interrupted Ragas by raising his hand once again, and asked, ”Then, what about the skill page that I just sold to Duke Albert and Duke Ersi? It can allow them to transform into wolves—which I believe can still be considered as a transformation skill despite not being a race under humanoids nor shapeshifters?”
Ragas could not help but to scratch his chin and thought for a second. Then, he sighed and said, ”I think… The young master should consider it to be amongst the Excen Skills.”
”Excen Skills?” Pedro asked as his face wore a frown.
Ragas simply nodded in response and said, ”Yes, young master! Excen Skills. The category where skills that do not belong to any of the three major skill categories falls—including the skills that fall into either two or three categories.”
”Is Excen Skills any special compared to Enmas Skills and Espec Skills?” Pedro asked.
”Possibly yes… Possibly no, young master!” Ragas replied without hesitation. Then, he added, ”You see… Excen Skills are also called eccentric skills—meaning that they are unique skills compared to other skills present in the whole world in terms of origin. That said, their strength had a huge variation from being as weak as being able to transform into livestock or being as strong as being able to transform into a legendary being. So… It is one of the skill categories that's more of a gamble. Thus, consequently making it the rarest of the rare skills.”
Pedro smirk in response and said, ”Well… With the transformation skill that Duke Ersi and Duke Albert have, I doubt that Excen Skills could still be considered as the rarest of the rare skills!”
