Chapter 461 Moses... Is Really Amazing

At this moment…

Shizuku had reached Moses's room and lightly knocked on the door.

Knock-

Her knock triggered the Divine Script Moses had set on the door.

In an instant, the strokes of the Divine Script spread across the door like roots, and the faint Nen glow within the strokes twinkled like stars in Shizuku's eyes.

Shizuku had initially intended to knock a second time, but the spreading Divine Script on the door caused her raised hand to freeze in midair.

"Divine Script..."

She stared blankly at the characters on the door and quickly understood what had happened.

Two months.

She hadn't managed to remember even a trace of the basics.

Meanwhile, Moses had learned Divine Script within those two months...

"Moses... is really amazing."

The tiny lights reflected in Shizuku's eyes suddenly grew brighter, and an indescribable admiration welled up in her chest.

She didn't feel depressed or jealous because of this huge gap...

Instead, what she felt was pure, unadulterated admiration.

Creak-

The door suddenly opened.

Moses stuck out his somewhat disheveled face. When saw Shizuku standing outside the door with her hand still raised, he smiled and asked, "Shizuku... is there something you need?"

"I came to call you for dinner."

Shizuku truthfully told the reason for knocking on the door, then pointed at the word "God" on the door and asked, "Moses, what kind of Divine Script is this?"

"It's a Divine Script with a sealing effect."

Moses said as he glanced at the Divine Script on the door.

"Sealing?"

Shizuku asked in confusion, "But when I knocked on the door just now, I could clearly feel that the door had become harder."

"Well, because the so-called sealing effect can also have a meaning similar to 'prohibiting breaking', so it adds a bit of reinforcement effect."

Moses explained with a smile.

Then, thinking that Shizuku was also the type who would wantonly exude curiosity, he added, "I'm still in the exploration phase with Divine Script, so I might not be able to satisfy your curiosity completely."

"Oh, Divine Script really is complicated."

Shizuku sighed from the heart.

Hearing this, Moses asked instinctively, "So, how's your learning going?"

Shizuku replied frankly: "I can't learn it at all."

"This…"

Moses didn't know what to say for a say. He could guess the reason Shizuku hadn't learned anything.

Seeing Moses fall silent, Shizuku spoke earnestly: "But you're so amazing at everything you do, Moses. Even something as hard as Divine Script, you managed to learn it in just two months."

"It's not as impressive as you think. I've only scratched the surface. To be honest, my talent is probably just average."

Moses sighed softly.

It took two whole months, and even with the added buff, and he was still just copying the modules, it actually took him around forty minutes to successfully inscribe a single Divine Script.

It felt terrible.

"Is that so…"

Shizuku tilted her head slightly.

She doesn't know much about this either.

But based on her own experience, no matter how she looked at it, Moses was incredibly, incredibly talented.

Moses nodded, but he was not discouraged at all. He smiled and said:

"But I'm really interested in Divine Script, and I'm willing to spend time on them. I am definitely not as good as Ging, but as long as I persist, I will definitely be not far behind."

"Mm, keep it up!"

Shizuku cheered, pumping her little fists in the air twice.

"Thanks."

Moses smiled.

Meanwhile, at the dining hall.

Ging, who seemed to possess the ability to hear everything, was stirring his soup with his spoon with his eyes drooping.

Obviously, he heard the conversation between Moses and Shizuku.

Menchi couldn't help but frown when she saw Ging's reaction.

'So it's still not even at the 'prototype' stage...'

Assuming it was a problem with her cooking, Menchi sighed inwardly.

A moment later…

Moses and Shizuku arrived at the dining hall.

Moses, having lunch on time for a change, gave his usual compliment to Menchi's culinary skills before quickly returning to his room to continue studying Divine Script.

In the past two months of focused study...

It can be said that he had deeply experienced the complexity of learning Divine Script. At the same time, he also lamented the absence of Cookie's help.

If he had Cookie's massage abilities, his efficiency in learning Divine Script would be at least doubled.

However, the buff effect granted by Perception can only last until he reached the entry level.

In other words-

Now that Moses had just touched the threshold of Divine Script, he no longer has the blessing of the buff. From this point forward, he would have to make progress step by step on his own.

In this way, time flowed by.

Seasons changed, and a year passed.

Aragas Mountain.

At an altitude of 3,600 meters, there is a place where rocks are piled up.

A figure draped in a black trench coat made its way through the fierce mountain winds, the coat billowing loudly in the gusts.

"This should be the place."

A white cloth was loosely wrapped around the figure's neck, covering even half of their face, likely to shield it from the biting wind.

This figure was none other than Moses, who had spent the last year and two months in seclusion to study the Divine Script.

The place where he is right now, Aragas Mountain, was exactly the location where Moses had once taken his first test in the Hunter Exam.

Back then, amidst the piles of rocks, he had sensed the presence of Post-Mortem Nen and discovered a stone tablet engraved with Divine Script beneath the rubble.

It was also because he had activated the powers of this Divine Script that everyone on the mountain had been transported to an unknown ruin.

Now, revisiting this place, his goal was to study the structure of the Divine Script on that stone tablet.

Although he could no longer sense any trace of the Post-Mortem Nen, Moses still managed to find this location based on memory.

Bzzz-

The phone in his pocket vibrated.

Moses took out his phone, which was a notification of an event that he had subscribed to in advance. It was the quadrennial Gourmet Tournament that Menchi participated in.

The message stated that Menchi, with Shizuku as her assistant, had fought her way through a field of fierce competition and, as a newcomer, claimed the championship of the Gourmet Tournament.

Seeing this result, Moses smiled.

"Impressive."

He exclaimed softly, then put away his phone and focused his attention on the open space covered with dust and gravel in front of him.

He slowly squatted down, enveloped his hands with Nen, and then began digging into the dirt with his bare hands.

Before long-

A stone tablet engraved with the Divine Script emerged from the sand.

Moses's eyes suddenly lit up.

'If I could decipher the structure of this Divine Script...'
