Chapter 31
I am gonna skip on a few things. First up is the sauna.
I did enter the sauna and I stayed well over an hour in there. I set the temperature to 50 degrees celsius.
Normally it would scald a human and they would die of dehydration. But
So I was able to endure it for that long. I could have gone longer but I feel that would be overboard.
Now the current situation is like this. I am at the sparring grounds. With Fay, Hazel and Eden.
They were all using the gymnasium as they saw fit but now I need them for somethings.
First up is Fay.
"Fay, do you use magic?"
"Yes, I can use magic." (Fay)
"What type of magic?"
"I can use fire magic. I was born with fire element and I can only use fire magic." (Fay)
"Born with.... Is magic dependent on your birth element?"
"Yes. If you are born with an element, you cannot use other elements. But if you don't have an element, you can't use magic at all. It depends on your affinity." (Fay)
"I see. Show me your magic."
"I can't. We need magical energy to use magic. I can't sense any magic energy here. So I can't use magic." (Fay)
"Isn't that pretty useless?"
I am dejected. Her way of using magic is really inefficient. In the first place, what is
(
Stop it!! You are suddenly giving me information again. At least tell me, what should I call you?
(Call me System. I will show my true form later. Get stronger.)
Even stronger than now?
(Yes. I will tell you some details about your
I see. Thanks for that. But after that, I didn't hear her voice anymore.
I beckon Hazel who is a little away from me. She is puffing up her cheeks and sulking. The reason is clear.
"Cheer up, Hazel. Why do you get so sulky when I talk to Fay?"
"Because that woman is plotting something." (Hazel)
I understand that feeling. Because, ever since I killed her guards, she has been all smiles. It feels wrong. But currently she is making a dumb face as we talk.
"Hazel, I am going to touch you for a moment."
I need to check her status as well. After her evolution, she should have gained some abilities.
"Go ahead." (Hazel)
She came to with a big smile and started to appeal with her well developed body.
I am not going to feel her or anything. I am just examining things.
This may sound fake to you guys but I am showing restraint. Because I don't want Eden to pick up some weird habits.
I touch her head.
(Can you please check her status?)
I ask System.
(You have the ability to check it for yourself. A handy skill called appraisal. Use that.)
An answer came. I have a skill called appraisal. Isn't that pretty template skill to have? Almost all the important heroes in novels have that skill.
I use appraisal. And numbers started showing.
It looks something like this:
Subject: Hazel
Level: 1
Species: Evolved Demi-human (dog)
Age: 15
HP: 1000
MP: 50
SP: 400
Strength: 80
Agility: 120
Stamina: 200
Endurance: 150
Intelligence: 100
Sanity: 100
———
This is quite detailed. I should check it out on myself later. I look for the skills section.
Skills: Enhanced senses, spiritual contractee power release and accelerated growth.
Those skills sound powerful. Power release and accelerated growth— sounds like a game cheat.
I pat her head when I am done.
"Good job."
"Master, pet me more."
She is hugging me and saying that whilst pushing her two twin peaks on my chest.
I look at Fay and she is holding Eden's eyes, not letting her see.
I have to thank her for that.
*Smack* I chop her on the head.
"Ouch. Master…." She sits down holding her head. Tear is gathering in her eyes.
"Don't do that in front of Eden." I pull her up and reprimand her.
She obediently nods. That's a good girl. But she is only 15. She is two years younger than me.
Again, she was a dog until recently. 15 is pretty old for a dog. I will now test out the fire technique System taught me.
I have to learn about my limits. How much gas can my tank hold? How long does it take to refill and is it fixed or will it grow bigger?
Those are the questions currently in my mind. And with the appraisal skill, I can check out my own status as well. This is convenient.
Maybe I should look at Eden and Fay later.
Thinking about those, I start my preparations for making a fire with magic.
