New Magic Books

Reading the holographic interference in front of her, Ellia accepted the transaction.

"Great. I'll send the items over to your location." The old man said as he closed the interference on his end.

'Wait, how is he going to do that?' Ellia asked. 'Does he even know where to send it to?'

"He doesn't need to know. He just has to send it to you as a user, and the cyber system would take care of everything." Ruth said.

'I see...' Ellia nodded in understanding.

"You need anything else?" The old man asked.

Ruth tried to say no, but Ellia interrupted.

"Yes, do you have anything regarding magic?" Ellia asked, causing Ruth to turn around.

"Magic?" The old man repeated Ellia's words. "Yeah, I think I've got something. I'll let you have a look." After finishing his words, an interference showed itself in front of Ellia.

Walking towards Ellia, Ruth looked over her shoulders and watched as Ellia scrolled over the many magic items it displayed.

All the basic magic elements to magic tools. It had small stuff like that, nothing too big like teleportation magic, which was space-type magic.

After scrolling for a while, Ellia picked up all the things she deemed necessary. Ruth watched from behind with an approving nod.

Then, accepting the transaction, Ellia closed in the interference.

"That will be all," Ellia spoke.

"Another profit." The old man laughed while listening to Ellia.

"Greedy bastard," Ruth mumbled under her breath, then called out to Ellia. "Let's go."

"Wait, hold on." The old man said before they could take a step outside the room. "Give me ya'll names. Mine is Jeremy."

"Ellia," Ellia said as she finally left the room, shutting the door after exiting.

"Ellia, huh..." Jeremy mumbled as he burst out laughing. "I don't know who they are, but I have a feeling they'll make me rich!"

Meanwhile...

You can go back if you want." Ruth said as she turned around towards Ellia when they arrived back on the tracks.

"I think that would be a good idea." Ellia agreed.

"Ah, but before that..." Ruth added before tackling Ellia, treating her like a giant teddy bear.

But of course, such antics were strange to Ellia. A grown woman who looked way more mature than herself was acting like a child.

"What is this for... oof," Ellia inquired, her face flushed from the lack of oxygen she was receiving while buried between Ruth's big but soft melons.

"Well, I wanted to enjoy before we go back," Ruth responded with a playful smirk.

"Haaa..." Ellia sighed, but in the end, she couldn't help but smile. Then, a few moments later, they disintegrated into blue neon dust.

...

Opening her eyes back on the king-sized bed, Ellia immediately looked over to the holographic alarm clock to her right.

"Only thirty minutes, huh..." Ellia mumbled before laying down back on the mattress.

"The cyberworld matches the real world time," Ruth stated.

Ellia didn't know if that was a good or bad thing. But thinking about some factors, Ellia decided it was a bad thing. Since she was in the middle of training, her time to visit the cyberworld was very limited.

"But that aside," Ruth spoke. "Would you like to view the magic items, you thought?"

Upon hearing Ruth's words, Ellia sat upright. "We can do that now?"

"Yes, unlike the materials, the books were sent in a PDF format."

"Well, that's fortunate." Ellia smiled happily. "Show me."

Following the utterance of those words, the system interference showed up in front of Ellia

----

Basics of Magic(Basic fundamentals)

Book of Fire Elemental(Basic fundamentals) Book of Water Elemental(Basic fundamentals) Book of Earth elemental(Basic fundamentals) Book of Wind elemental(Basic fundamentals)

Book of Light elemental(Basic fundamentals) Book of Dark elemental(Basic fundamentals)

----

These books Ellia had purchased weren't magic at all. It was just the basic building grounds to cast a proper spell.

The only proper magic cast she had was only two.

----

Book of Mana Circulation and Breathing: A basic breathing technique to accumulate mana throughout the body.

0.06/MP regenerated per second.

Proficiency: 0/500

Mana barrier(Active)(Passive): A basic protective magic barrier that can protect its caster based on its mana strength. The caster has a choice of making the cast passive, which will result in a passive barrier that covers the caster wholly, protecting them from minor attacks. The active barrier is a shield that only covers a small portion of the caster's body, thus protecting them from all major attacks.

Passive barrier consumption: 0.01 MP/S

Active barrier: 1.2 MP/S

Proficiency: 0/1000

----

It was basically an all-purpose magic cast that could always protect you every second of the day, and when things became a bit dicey, you also had the active barrier to help you out.

But there was a small problem. She had to read through and understand the Basics of Magic. That wasn't it; she also had to comprehend the Book of mana circulation and breathing and the magic cast itself.

That itself wasn't much of a problem for Ellia, who finished analyzing the books in an hour.

Then, with another ten minutes of intense focus, a thin translucent barrier covered Ellia like a skin-tight suit.

[Mana Circulation and Breathing has been acquired!]

[Mana barrier(Active)(Passive) has been acquired!]

"I did it..." Ellia mumbled, looking down at her own hand.

"Yes, you did," Ruth spoke while Ellia got up from her bed.

'I wonder how strong this thing is.' Ellia thought as she looked for something to hit her translucent barrier that covered her arm, but finding nothing useful, she raised her right arm to hit her left.

Shack!

Ellia was amazed, despite the fact that the barrier surrounding her arm had completely shattered. The barrier was only broken almost immediately because of her monstrous strength, but there appeared to be some damage reduction. And that wasn't all it only took ten seconds for the barrier to rebuild itself.

It also didn't seem to consume a lot of MP.

'Alright, let's try the active barrier.' Ellia thought as another barrier was caster solely on her arm.

Then using full force, she brought her arm down towards the active barrier.

Peng!

Ellia's right arm was sent flying back.

'It's strong...' Ellia thought as she shook her throbbing arm.

"It can be stronger," Ruth added, which piqued Ellia's interest.

'How?'

"By simply using the magic that way, the proficiency goes up."

'So I just have to use magic to make it stronger?'

"Yes, pretty much, and your intelligence stat doesn't play any role by raising its proficiency. You just get a better grasp of the magic cast."

'Alright, say less.' Ellia mumbled, sitting back down in a lotus position.
