[Swift Fighter: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 0/10.000

A Special Skill that is the advanced form of the Steady Fighter Skill. Now, using the same principles as the Steady Fighter Skill, it is possible to enchant the body with large quantities of Mana, increasing the flexibility of your body, incrementing the flow of blood and nutrients across them, and also making your body much more lightweighted and faster, while increasing reaction speed. An ideal Skill for any frontline physical fighter that is not too sturdy to take on many hits and requires to rapidly dodge.

Active Effect (1): Increases Muscle Flexibility, Blood Flow Speed and Nutrient Distribution Speed, Movement Speed, and Reaction Speed by +20% for as long as Mana is imbued into the body. A swift and sharp Will is needed to activate this Effect.

Passive Effect (1): Passively increases the Userʼs Agility by +10%.

Level Bonus (1): Enhances the Skill Effects by +10%.

As I admired the green aura of speed encompassing my body when I activated the new Skillʼs active effect, I checked the Skill itself. Its effects were certainly ideal! Maybe if I can level it up quickly, Zack and Luck wonʼt catch up with me as quickly. I donʼt know why Iʼm being like this, but Iʼve discovered I am quite competitive with everyone.

Anyways, much like Steady Fighter, Iʼm guessing I can level this Skill up by continuously exercising, this time by running as fast as I can for a while. I hate having to overly exercise in my vacations though, so maybe Iʼll delay it a bit. I want to spend more time with my Aquarina snuggling and kissing than going around running like a dummy.

Iʼll have all the time to train my Skills once I met the Witch of the Blue Mountain. Mom said she was going to teach us Alchemy, but I doubt thatʼs going to be everything. Iʼm somehow already guessing that sheʼs going to ask us to hunt all kinds of monsters for her for their materials as ”tests”. These people are more predictable than they think.

Anyways, moving on to the Metallurgy Skills…

[Available Skills for [Metallurgy] Skill Tree]

[Option 1]: [Full Metal Body]

[Option 2]: [Metal Synthesis]

”What do I pick… A Sturdier, perhaps metallic body? Or maybe the ability to synthetize metals somehow? Maybe I could use that to shoot swords or spears or something.” I wondered, rubbing my chin. ”Any suggestions, Aqua?”

”Hmmm… Sturdier is always better, right? Your bodyʼs small and too light, so its better if you can take hits.” She said. ”Also if it makes it somehow metallic, maybe youʼll get more weight?”

”Right…” I nodded. ”Metal Synthesis sounds tempting though. Void Wielding Arts and Petit Meteor are both very strong Magic Skills, but even then, shooting blades off my hands always sounds much stronger.”

”Youʼre not wrong.” She nodded. ”Metals usually can deal stronger single point damage, but they cannot easily expand their damage dealt like other elements! So itʼs up to you. I think it would be powerful with your endless mana though, you could make as many metals as you wanted, as long as it only requires Mana though.”

”Wow, right, youʼre right!” I gasped. ”But wouldnʼt that make it too easy for me?”

”If itʼs a skill I doubt it will give you the ability to easily overpower everything though.” She answered. ”Maybe it has some limitations. Itʼs not a Divine Skill after all.”

”Okay…” I nodded. ”Hmmm… Agh, this is so hard to choose! But fine, Iʼll go for your suggestion first, actually. Iʼll leave the sword shooting for later, once a skill that can make me sturdier reaches max level. I better prioritize my own safety first.”

Even though I can stay alive even after being torn to shreds, I would rather never experience that ever again! At all! So I want to be as sturdy as Orichalcum… Wait, even Sphynxiette and her kind were pierced despite being made of that. Is it possible to become sturdier than that?

Anyways…

[Youʼve chosen to learn the [Full Metal Body] Skill!]

[You learned the [Full Metal Body: Lv1] Skill!]

-----

[Full Metal Body: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 0/20.000

A Unique Skill learned by those that have learned to channel the power of Metallurgy and Forging into their very bodies, increasing their own Physiqueʼs sturdiness, toughness, weight, and physical strength through the absorption of metals and by, quite literally, forging their own bodies below the blazing flames of a smithy.

The more metals you absorb over time inside of your body, the tougher it will grow, and so this skill will progress. After absorbing enough metals through the Full Metal Body Forging Process, and reaching max level, this Skillʼs effects cannot progress anymore.

Absorb and forge metallic components that are compatible with your body with a +10% boost to its absorption speed. This process can only be done over time, overdoing it in a short time might cause severe backlash that could permanently damage your physique, caution is advised.

Active Effect (1): Once you absorb enough Metals, it is possible to activate [Full Metal Body], channeling their powers together and turning your skin into a metallic sheen, increasing Physical Defense, Durability, Toughness, and Physical Prowess by an additional +20% and decreases Damage Taken by -5%.

Passive Effect (1): When absorbing Metals completely, increases your Bodyʼs Durability, Toughness, Weight, and Physical Strength and Defense by +1% (Max 10%).

Level Bonus (1): Enhances the rate of Metals Absorption and Metal-Attribute Mana Absorption by +10%.

Ooh, this sounds kind of similar to my Blood Skill! And both seem to complement each other amazingly! Now I can both absorb a metal and also their metal attribute mana to improve this Skill and the Blood Skill together, killing two birds with one stone.

In fact, while I was doing this, I was passively absorbing my second big chunk of Mithril, it slowly melted into my hands as I absorbed it into my body. The effects themselves were freaky, but faster than I imagined.

”Wow thatʼs cool! I wish I could do that! Mom said Iʼll be able to absorb minerals and metals into my body too, looks like you beat me to it, Sylphy!” Aquarina laughed.

”Nah, this one has Skill Level limit. Iʼm sure yours will be much stronger and amazing, Aquarina.” I smiled at her. ”After all it is some sort of inheritance from another Hero, right?”

”Yeah I guess…” She nodded. ”Iʼm still wondering whatʼs all that going to be about. Kind of nervous, honestly.” She admitted.

”Well, donʼt worry, Iʼm sure your mom knows how it and sheʼll guide you through it properly!” I said. ”She loves you, so I doubt sheʼll ever make it harder for you.”

”Right, I guess youʼre not wrong in that.” She nodded. ”So you got both Skills?”

”Yep, Swift Fighter and this Full Metal Body, kind of funny. One makes me faster and lightweight, the other makes me tougher and heavier…” I laughed. ”I think they might end up cancelling one another. I hope not.”

”Nah, donʼt worry about it~ Youʼll be fineee~” She giggled, tickling my neck. ”Ohh, weʼre here already.”

We found ourselves right in front of the Arboren Town.
