Chapter 288: It's All Thanks To Bookworm

—–

Is this Comprehending Magic? For some reason, I suddenly was able to learn something that didn't displayed in the Soul Book at all to begin with. It was weird! Is this something outside the System? But the Soul Book is not really a system, it is just an expression of our soul. So what makes it so a Spell turns into a Skill inside the Soul Book, truly?

[Spells become Skills inside the Soul Book when they develop enough and become "imprinted" into your Soul. After that, you're able to develop these spells and constantly make them grow stronger]

The System rudely read my mind once more.

[Your Soul Grimoire is special compared to other people's Soul Book, you're able to naturally imprint certain Magical Skills which you have a very strong affinity with incredibly easily, by merely conjuring them. Sometimes it might not work though, but in most cases, it can. This is how you are able to learn a lot of Magic Skills when you figure out their ideal way of conjuring them, but sometimes, others cannot be easily turned into Skills due to their one-time use within your daily life]

Oh, so with such a logic, offensive Spells are prioritized to become Skills within the Soul Grimoire then?

[That's also for Soul Books. Offensive spells are the most used after healing spells, buffs, or other miscellaneous spells are not as used, often being rarely used for convenience's sake sometimes. Making them grow or develop is therefore not necessary, and the spells don't become imprinted into your soul]

I see, you should had explained this to me some more…

[I believe you never really cared about this until now]

Ugh, fine.

[More importantly, as I said before, there is never a definitive chance of getting skills or not. It is a thing that takes time. With your Soul Grimoire, this is facilitated greatly, but that doesn't mean you can always turn everything you think about into a Skill, after all, there are still some limitations, although certainly not completely clear…]

I guess not even you can discern everything, huh? Well, that's fine, I am not really going to ask you to do the impossible.

But now that I've managed to get a slight amount of comprehension at long last, I immediately decided to use magic! I pointed my hand into the air and then generated several runes into the air, slowly but steadily, all while gritting my teeth, I put them together into a magic circle. Concentrating into this was truly hard to do, but because I have nothing to do other than concentrate into something to the level of obsession, I somehow managed.

FLASH!

The runes in the magic circle unified at long last, each one had a meaning, a word. When all words came together into a magic circle, that formed a magic spell, a chant, perhaps. Combining them together into the formula of magic and infusing mana into the magic circle gave birth to true magic.

And then, from within this magic circle, a small, pink-colored butterfly surged, flapping its wings around and looking like it was seeking something.

This was the Tier 1 Illusion Magic Spell: Dreamy Butterfly!

Illusion Magic lacks a lot of offensive Spells in low tiers, and it can be used to trick someone. You can create this butterfly to confuse someone. It is oddly charming to the eyes and mysterious, making people lose their sight of what they were trying to do or distracting them for a few seconds.

If I end up creating dozens of them, I can easily make someone confused enough to look run away in surprise, or other times, it might not be at all effective is the target can see through my intentions or that it is just someone bringing these butterflies through a magic spell.

Of course, this Spell is very small, lackluster, and has no real point in turning into a Skill, so it wasn't even inscribed into my soul nor it turned into a Skill. And I prefer it to be that way to be honest, I would rather get skills of other, more devastating Spells I can spam more easily.

But now, I've finally gotten something! Although I can always just imagine the spell now and conjure it into thin air without a magic circle, this is the beginning.

Later, I'll try to create a Magic Circle for things like Chaotic Meteor and fuse its power with the Skill itself. Although I wonder how much power it can bring out… My next goal comprehending the Dark Sphere Spell so I can combine it with Dark Sun, its evolved Skill form and see how much power it could receive as a boost!

However, before that, everybody was awake so we decided to have breakfast.

When I showed Emeraldine I was finally able to grasp magic circles with the butterfly, she got suddenly very happy, almost driven to tears.

"Your hard work has rally paid off! I am so proud of you, Maria!" She said, hugging me tightly.

"E-Eeh? Don't treat me like a kid now…" I sighed.

Although, I had to admit it, I loved to be praised. Maybe because I never received enough praise in my previous life, or maybe for another completely different reason. But… really, I really liked to be praised by her after putting so much effort into learning something.

"And it's all thanks to Bookworm…" I sighed with a smile.

"Bookworm?" Asked Emeraldine while raising an eyebrow.

It seems she didn't had such a Title Skill.

"Erm, nothing… never mind what I just said." I sighed, quickly deciding to keep a secret my ridiculous amount of Title Skills, which probably surpassed many others in quantity alone.

"I can't believe you've been dedicating a whole week to learn a single little spell." Sighed Lucifer. "I honestly don't understand why you are so set in learning traditional magic; your own magic is more than enough."

"Yeah, but it's kind of isn't. If I combine them with magic circles, I'll be able to draw even more power!"

Lucifer looked at me while raising an eyebrow.

"…Your magic power is already ridiculous, how more ridiculous do you want it to be?"
