System, today's draw.
[Talent/skill draw in progress.]
[You have received skill: Aqua blade(common).]
[Item draw in progress.]
[You have received item: Torchroot Flask(Common).]
[Skill: Aqua blade: Forms a short blade of compressed water that extends from the hand.]
[Item: Torchroot Flask: A bitter brew that boosts fire resistance by 10% for 10 minutes.]
Two common rank draws, if only I had made the system give guaranteed origin tier draws.
Levi left the torchroot flask in the dimensional storage and opened another tab in the system.
[Please, host, select the skills you want to fuse.]
Aqua Blade and crescent fang.
[Skills accepted, fusion in progress.]
[Fusion successful, host has gained skill: Water Crescent Slash(RARE+).]
[Water Crescent Slash: Forms a short blade of compressed water and unleashes a crescent-shaped wave of water energy with a fast slash. The arc cuts enemies at mid-range and bursts on impact, dealing both slicing and knockback damage.]
Levi instinctively raised his hand, and a water blade formed.
This looks good, he muttered, slashing towards the distance.
A water arc shot out fast and hit a wall on the other end.
But it didn't even leave a scratch, let alone break it.
The walls in the mansion seem to be reinforced; if I want to test them, I need a better way.
Just then, he noticed Mira standing quietly behind him.
Young master, what technique was that? I don't remember the mansion's archive having any water-related technique.
Good eye. I created it after studying the flow of water essence and the Crescent Fang technique, Levi lied calmly. I thought it would be a good counter for Martin on the day of the duel.
Ohh, I see, Mira said in her normal, composed demeanour.
But deep down, her mind was in a disarray. A person who could create a technique just from looking at the effect of another while being at tier 2 was past the realm of geniuses, even the No.1 genius of the human race on the mother star was probably not as good.
So, I would get going, Levi said, breaking the awkward moment.
Yes, young master, Mira said with a slight bow.
I need to be careful when using unknown techniques around the mansion, I could have been caught.
Dinner is ready, young master. Elen said with a curtsy.
Okay, let's walk together, Levi said casually.
Are you sure, young master?
I didn't stutter, Levi said with a sharp but cool voice.
Yes, young master.
They walked towards the dining hall without saying anything, but whenever Levi tried to look at Elen, she quickly looked down.
Lvi smiled lightly.
She acts like a bold person to people, but deep down, she is a shy girl.
The door to the hall opened slightly.
Levi and Elen entered.
Why are they together? That was the only thought that filled everyone's mind.
Let's dig in, Levi said. His cool attitude did not show in the face of food.
Levi gobbled the meal down, making the maids wonder what had happened to him.
I should be cautious when using my talent now, just creating a few daggers and clothes drained me this much, he thought, not slowing down for once.
