Chapter 142: Blue's Business

In the end, I accepted Maple's request to aid her on her mission. She told me that we will be having this mission start next week so that I can rest my body from the injuries I received the last mission. Since she was already here until the night, I decided to let her stay in Anya's room to sleep at night.

On the other hand, I decided to practice the magic spells that I inherited from the two beasts to control it better and to also ramp up the damage on them whenever I use those spells. Recalling every magic spells I inherited from the two beasts is a hard job. Due to the number of spells that were given to me, a few of them were locked out.

"Hey, Blue. How come most of the spells the two beasts that were given to me are not accessible? Whatever method I try to know how to learn them, they are all gibberish and rumbled words."

"It was a restriction I think. Since some spellbooks containing magic spells have this kind of feature where the person reading has a low understanding of the magic spell displayed due to the gibberish look on the sentences and words and it doesn't make too much sense unless you are someone who can easily understand jumbled words. However, this restriction is enough to stop someone to learn it especially if they are unworthy. So if you can't read or understand the spell, then just leave it for now. Come back to it on a later date once you are strong enough."

I sighed in disappointment. I still have at least 10 magic spells left on the Vermillion Bird's inheritance and 15 magic spells that are not yet learned on the White Tiger's inheritance. On the other hand, there are 6 spells that I can practice on the Vermillion Bird's inheritance while 4 on the White Tiger's Inheritance. It was kind of surprising to see that I can learn plenty of the magic the Vermillion Bird has given me compared to the White Tiger even though I defeated the latter first than the former which I fought last. Maybe due to how I can easily master fire magic might be one of the reasons I can easily learn them.

Since the remaining magic spells are all incomprehensible on my part, I started listing all the magic spells I can use in my notebook. I will try to learn them all during this one week and master them one by one.

"One step at a time, Kazuma. Mastering them all in one week will only get you crazy. Don't overdo it. Mastering one or two magic spells from these is enough for a week, but mastering them all is not going to do good on you, more harm instead. Don't be too hasty with it," Blue said.

Hmm, Blue has a point, maybe I should do that. Since I have a little bit of time, I review the magic spells I listed in the notebook. I also added a few info on their effects based on the memory I managed to access so that I can expect things on what will they do once I cast them.

Vermillion Bird's inheritance:

Rapid Blast Release 5 fireballs simultaneously in a single cast. The last fireball has the strongest damage while the first one has the weakest.

Lava Geyser blast a spout of lava to the targeted area once. The lava appears below the target if cast.

Ring of Fire Releases a ring made of flames to capture moving enemies and temporarily restrain them for 10 seconds and damage them for that duration. The user can choose to tighten or loosen the grip of the ring once it restrained a target.

Volcanic Reaction increases the damage of the next flame magic released after the skill's activation.

Explosive balls of flames create a grenade-like thing that deals with a wide area of damage once it was thrown to the ground. Explosions will occur after that.

Flame armor creates flames that cover the whole body of the user which then will protect the user against any type of attack. 

Volatile Burn increases the chances of the enemies attacked by flames to get burns that is hard to be healed by ordinary magic. 

White Tiger's Inheritance:

Lightning strike quick cast magic that invokes a quick bolt of lightning to the target immediately.

Shock bolt this is the basic attacks similar to the fireball I usually use

Overload a charge type magic that will get stronger the longer the charge time is. Has the same amount of mana consumption even charged up but the charging time can be easily interrupted.

The Electric element of my magic spell is still underdeveloped due to how I usually just use the flame magic. If I am more biased in electric magic, I would have more access to the white tiger's inheritance a lot more. But I am not complaining since the flame magic is more of my signature magic right now. I barely even use the dragon magic I gained from Anya's father so it is more understandable that I get to learn lots of flame spells from the inheritance of the Vermillion Bird, Suzaku.

My mana capacity is big enough already and with the help of the Seed of Yggdrasil to recover my mana a lot faster, I don't have much problem with mana shortage and I won't be a bit busy in focusing my efforts to increase the capacity of my mana tank. What is left is get used to combat. If only there is a place where I can get to practice my magic while staying in secret. After all, a beginner magician like me having multiple magic spells in different elements like mine is already something that the others didn't know. Sure enough, they have seen me use them but I doubt they have remembered it. Also, I don't want to destroy things in the training ground with my magic. A place where I can easily release my magic spells without worrying anything about being destroyed. If only magic like that exists.

"A secret training ground where you can only access? I can help you with that, but I will be getting paid. After all, nothing is free in this world. An equivalent exchange if you call it," Blue suddenly popped up her voice to me who is just thinking about where to train.

"Huh? You can help me with the practice in secret and will allow me to unleash my magic without any restraint?"

"Of course. I am the great spirit of the app after all. I can do that easily. However, I don't make you use it for free. I will let you use it for 100 demon shards or 100 shards you get in the G.A.T.E.S after killing monsters in there."

When I heard the price, I almost spit out blood from how much it was.

"F*ck, that is too expensive! You are more of a rip-off than Godou's shop!"

"Take it or leave it. I am not forcing you to spend those shards since they are important but I already told you before that you need to gather shards from demons, monsters, and anything hostile inside the G.A.T.E.S right? So you don't have any say about it. I already told you about the matter of the shards so it is not my problem if you didn't pick any at all."

I sighed and checked the shards I managed to collect so far. I managed to kill lots of demons back during the reclamation of the Phantasmal World but I didn't get to grab the shards much due to the amount of running away and sneaking from the demons we did so when I finished counting, I sighed in disappointment that my shards are not enough. The last time I spent them is during the time I went shopping at Godou's store.

When I was on the G.A.T.E.S though, I managed to acquire 256 shards from the monsters I killed. Seeing it sufficient enough, I showed it to Blue using the phone.

" I got 100 shards. I hope you don't say that I have to only pay an hour just to train there on the place you are telling is also limitedly accessible till the expiration of the timer of the coin's amount or something."

"Hehe, don't worry about that one. I never intended to do that kind of scam. Once you paid me already, the place will be open and unless the user goes out of the room again which will reset the expiration and you will be charged again."
