The next day, as planned, everyone started to practice magic and with my guidance, just like planned, I focused most of my attention on Sora and Janus as they are the ones struggling. And to my surprise, the first one to control magic properly is none other than Rika. I thought it would be Riko since she has two elements and she showed the most potential yesterday but it seems I was wrong and Rika came out first as being capable of wielding the corresponding element she is compatible with.
The next surprising thing that happened however is that Sora, whom I assumed to have a hard time grasping the basics since she can only listen and she cannot see the demonstration ended up being the second person to finally be capable of using magic spells. Although she cannot see, she can feel the power in her hands which makes her really happy with the results.
The next people who awakened were both Riko and Akira. Although I assume Riko to awaken first, it seems she is still unstable in mana before so she had a bit of a hard time using it so she ended up taking a long time. Akira had average progress so I will not say it was bad since it was just an average time of awakening and I must say it is the most normal amount of time to awaken.
And just as expected, the one who went last is obviously Janus. Although he also awakened, he awakened the last and ended up having a very hard time after seeing everyone has awakened their magic powers while he still didn't. Of course, I encouraged him to never give up, and thankfully, he didn't give up indeed and it rewarded him with the ability to use magic like the others. Still unstable but enough as a workaround.
Knowing Janus, I won't doubt him in learning magic. He can be very eager when he wanted to so I am not worried that he would go stagnant in it.
And so, that day ended quite well. The others decided to just go and rest after almost a full day worth of training their mana and it cost them quite a lot of energy that they just wanted to sleep. It's normal and it would be a bit abnormal if you still managed to stay the same if you performed that. It was a mentally taxing and energy-consuming task after all.
Since everyone decided to go and sleep and the night is still looking far from the horizon, I don't think I will have to stay here and laze around. The more I laze around, the more I will stagnate.
I decided to log in to the game and do some grinding. I know my level will not be growing at all but every single experience counts. I needed it and master all of the skills of Versatile Class, make my own fighting style without counting on the Versatile Weapon alone and survive.
With my target for revenge getting stronger day by day at exponential speed, it is also necessary for me to also step up my game. Who cares if my level is taking long in leveling up? Isn't this a perfect opportunity to gain more SP points and learn all the skills of the classes? Not only that but get familiar with it without relying on the Magic Knight class to do all of the things?
Good.
Yep, let's do just that.

I stretch my body for a bit. Right now, I am back in my mansion in the game after quite some time on the quest so it felt a bit weird at first after going back once the long quest is finally done.
When I went out, my mom is currently using the Alchemy table that I set up and had been concocting something. I don't see Father so I guess she was here all by herself. She is so focused on what she was doing that I decided not to interrupt her and went out silently.
Since I decided to go do some mastery on all my class trees, going into the dungeons and challenging it with only that class and skills should do the trick. I know I have some passives that came from the other classes but some of them only work if they are applicable to the weapon and skill I used so it normally does not happen.
I have been too reliant on my Versatile Weapon alone so it might be a good idea to limit myself on not using the Versatile Weapon at all unless it's an emergency. I know that I am limiting myself a lot but that is much better than relying on the pure combat power of the Versatile Weapon rather than my skills.
With that, I unequipped the Versatile Weapon and equipped the normal longsword. I need to begin with the basics of the basics. The Swordsman.
I already have a few skills learned from it and some passives but I rarely use a longsword form as the skills of the Swordsman class can still be used in Magic Sword as they are both longswords, with only the difference of the other capable of handling magic while the other doesn't.
Because of that, my current amount of Swordsman-related skills is limited. In fact, the only skill I have right now is the Tier 1 skill, [Triple Slash] and the rest are passives. I didn't even have any skills that transcend beyond level 2 except for the passives. [Berserk] is a buff skill so I shouldn't count it as one of the skills I learned as it was just having the same effects as the buffs, the difference is that you will have to activate it to take effect. And with the amount of SP currently sitting in my Swordsman class, it was clear I didn't use it and earned that much compared to the Magic Knight class.
"I should have done this sooner. Perhaps I got blinded in mastering the Magic Knight class and just bother to use the other classes for showing off. I needed to change things up."
Since the only skill I have is the [Triple Slash], buying a new skill will also be good. And since I wanted to start out, I will have to start with basic skills that are necessary for a swordsman.
Currently, I have only 19 SP for the swordsman which shows that I barely did any Swordsman related actions these past few days after the Versatile Class has been reset and made a new way to do this.
Since there are only 19, I decided to spend 10 and save the 9 for the second tier later on once I earn more SP. I need to spend SP wisely or I will end up grinding up for quite a bit and end up not using the skills I grind up. I better use skills that I will have hope of using in the future.
I saw two skills that are normally bought during the beginner phase and then get replaced by better skills. Perhaps I should use that as a foundation instead.
[You have learned [Cut] and [Spinning Slash]!]
Next, I examined my sword. It is one of the swords I made with the intention of selling them later on in the Auction as it has good stats for beginners and mid-game players and it is equippable at level 0 but I guess I should be using it instead.
[Blade of the Cutting Edge]
Rarity: Very Rare Tier
This chapter upload first at NovelBin.Net
Type: Weapon Equipment
Equippable at Level: 0
Equippable by: Swordsman, Versatile
Stats:
STR: 75
DEX: 30
Unique skill:
1. Sharpness (II) - (Passive) - basic attack damage increased to 10%. Has a 5% chance to ignore defense.
Info: A sword made out of boredom. Because it was created alongside mass-produced swords, even if it is a high-rarity sword, it lacks the big impact most swords in the same tier do.
Note: It has a literal cutting edge, but only sharp enough that it can easily cut grass. Other than that, it's just an average sword.
It's nothing great but it's not bad either. Compared to the swords in the same rarity sold in the market other than the Auction houses, they are much more crappier than mine. At least, this one is shinier garbage than the garbage mostly sold in stores.
Oh, and perhaps I should also change some masks too. Since I am not showing my name, no one knows me yet and since the Wolf Mask is now very iconic to some veterans, everyone will know who I was so it's better to equip another one that I personally made for changing my identity with my mask alone.
[Two Emotion Mask]
Type: Mask Equipment
Info: A mask that is made for the purpose of customary looks. It is based on the happy and sad theater masks combined into one mask. Sometimes, you just can't know what they were thinking about.
Note: It looks ugly, not gonna lie.
Once that is done, I departed and went to the nearest level 100 dungeon that I haven't cleared yet. Time to do the dungeons.
