I spent a day trying to learn it, mostly in my slime form since I didn't want to remain as a snake forever.

I had to get used to feeling vibrations in my slime form but it was always really awkward. I didn't really notice this feeling until I had become the snake but the snake was able to feel these a lot better for some reason.

I kept trying until eventually...

</Confirmed. [Seismic Sense]... successfully acquired./>

I did it!

It was a bit tricky but I finally managed it!

<Use Extra Skill [Seismic Sense]? Yes or No?>

Wait, could you try doing the sync thing before I use it?

<Negative. It is only possible to begin synchronization when information becomes available.>

... o-ok...

I don't want to hurt my head again!!! At the same time, I wanna use my new Skill! I didn't spend so much time trying to learn it for nothing!!!

F-fine! Y-yes! Use it...

Ow-OW!

<Notice. Beginning synchronization with the Extra Skill [Seismic Sense].>

H-hurry, please hurry!

<Successful. Extra Skill [Seismic Sense] has successfully synchronized with the Unique Skill [Great Sage]. All information will now be managed by the Unique Skill [Great Sage].>

I was ready for it to hurt and it still hurt...

Why does it always hurt...?

<Answer. It is a direct result of excess information flooding the mind. If the initial Slime body was larger, it would likely be possible to handle the excessive information flooding into the body.>

How much larger...?

<Answer. It would likely take a bodily mass of 20 centimeters in height, length, and width, equating to a total volume of slime of 8,000 cubic centimeters.>

How big am I?

<Answer. Your total height averages approximately 7 centimeters in height, length, and width putting your total volume of slime at 343 cubic centimeters.>

Oh, I'm nowhere near big enough then.

How do I get bigger?

<Answer. Constant magicule absorption in addition to time would likely remedy the size problem. The time it would take is approximately 8 years.>

That's gonna take too long!

I was hoping Great Sage would tell me a faster way but she just remained silent after that. Was there really no way to stop my head from hurting each time I got a new sense skill!?

Booooo...

Well, I may as well check what my new skill did.

I tested it out for a bit but I didn't really notice a change at first.

It was strange, nothing really changed but why did it make my head hurt?

I moved around for a bit and looked around but I didn't really notice anything.

Was it not working?

<Notice. There is a significant lack of nearby movement. As a result, [Seismic Sense] has failed to detect anything.>
