Lunch is now over. The three of them were unlikely to be moving about anytime soon. So I decided to leave them alone since their responses were rather slow.

Since it was already past noon, I didn’t have any motivation to go gathering.

That aside, I did manage to obtain a lot of skills during my travels to and from the village in the south. I could see the effects of the skills by opening my status and using Appraisal, but I still didn’t understand how I had obtained those skills. As such, I went to the guild reference room to investigate a little.

 And I conducted various tests.

First up were Golem Generation, Golem Control, and Automata Creation. But I was still stuck on how to create the automata dolls, so I was a bit troubled.
 
Although, I think I know the reason. It was probably due to my lack of prerequisite skills.

To begin with, Automata Creation was an upgraded variant of Golem Generation, and it seems that Golem Generation was from Alchemy if I traced its source. On a side note, the Compounding skill that I used to make potions was also from Alchemy. But as for Alchemy, I don’t really remember how I obtained that skill. Hmm… this was troubling.

I think it might have been from using Creation Magic, so I believe it was something like gaining skills that were similar to each other. However, because of that, it led to me not having enough prerequisite skills. Creation Magic had both its pros and cons. The MP consumption was high. For now, I guess I should just place the Alchemy related stuff on hold.

Next up would be the Muscle Control skill.

This was an upgraded version of the Muscle Enhancement skill. Muscle Enhancement was a skill that prevented loss of strength when being incapacitated due to injury or illness, it also made one less likely to get sick. As for the upgraded version Muscle Control, it seems that the boosts are further enhanced. It was also said that it was easier to obtain skills that were related to the body. In other words, I guess it would be skills related to physical movement? Something like that? I checked the skill effects using Appraisal, so I already more or less knew beforehand, but I just wanted to confirm it.

The skills were obtained through physical training, so it would be easier to obtain them if a person did physical training and the skills would also improve through more physical training.

However, I learned it during my daily routine… never mind, I’m not going to say anything more…

 And there was one more.

[Power Increase: Mana] It was a skill that I obtained after defeating the ogre lord. It was a powerful skill that would increase STR/VIT/AGI when used. However, it would continue to consume MP when using the skill which made it also bad at the same time.

After some experimenting, the results were… I didn’t know how I had obtained this skill. If I had to guess, it was likely from my skill which allowed me to improve my vision through using mana.

Additionally, aside from my Power Increase skill that used mana, there seems to also be a type that increases power using fighting spirit. You could learn both, but there weren’t many adventurers who have done that.

Additionally, fighting spirit was essential for warriors that used sword skills like slashing attacks, or wide area damaging attacks. It was essentially like warrior versions of magic attacks that would appear in manga. Magic would consume MP, but fighting spirit would consume HP. Additionally, if either too much HP or MP was used and it reached 0, you would die.

As such, there were the issues of managing the consumption rate, but it seems there were skills that helped with this. There were different skills for both mana and fighting spirit, but the materials didn’t list what the names were. Hmm.
