My Idle System-Chapter 199: Talent (2)
Christian rubbed his temples, feeling his head ache, as both options, be it the advancement of his technology based skills, or the divination technique seemed too much for the current him.
So, he pushed those thoughts aside for now, circling back to where he'd started… trying once more to sort out the important points of the encounter.
Why did Eva react like this?
There couldn't possibly be any kind of hostility directed toward them. He had that much faith in his system, after all. So, why did she react like that… and why was she the only one who noticed them?
What about her talent? She was supposed to hold no talent, after all, but it seems she holds an immense one at that.
And… is the concealment technique really the right choice for his third Idle slot? Because it doesn't seem so anymore!
Christian, who felt like he couldn't rush these things, but, still needs to move in the right direction more than ever, as he couldn't afford too many detours like his initial thoughts, started pondering seriously.
And he suddenly felt overwhelmed, even more so than when he was in the presence of the pair of man and woman, as he didn't know how to tackle the current situation.
Christian questioned, what kind of coincidence, brought him together, with that pair of man and woman… but in the end, he couldn't arrive at an answer. As to what they could have possibly wanted from this place.
… The pair of man and woman… Christian was sure they weren't people from his world, despite how fluent they were in English. If they were, then there wouldn't have been that many nations on Earth, after all. Moreover, they didn't seem to belong to the same group currently running the Academy.
He wasn't entirely sure about this, of course, but despite recognizing his newly made concealment technique, they hadn't commented on the Breath of the Shadow Blade technique, after all.
And he was sure that if they had been from the same side, they would have at least asked about his affiliation. It was a technique given to the government by them, after all.
But anyway, the fact that there was already another group of otherworldly people; he already knew that, so there was no need to fret over it.
… The question that seemed more important was: what were they doing here?
He thought everyone related to essence had gathered around the Academy. If not there, then at least in some famous place.
But could this place really be considered famous enough? Did it have some special characteristic he didn't know of?
Christian questioned what kind of coincidence had brought him together with that pair of man and woman… but in the end, he couldn't arrive at an answer as to what they could have possibly wanted from this place.
So, he moved his attention back to Eva, to his woman!
Christian had heard the words "instinct" and "feeling" from her more than a few times already, and while he initially didn't think much of it, now he was sure… it was some kind of special ability, or at least something similar, as they had confirmed that for him.
… Moreover, there was her body. Christian had long since been certain that something was off about it.
Not in a bad way, of course… but more like, it was too addicting!
Every fluid of hers; her saliva, sweat… or her love nectar, had that sweet, heavenly taste, that he knew it wasn't normal!
So, there was definitely something special about her… she should be immensely talented too.
… But the Ashvale family had denied that.
And despite how crude the method they used to detect the talent of their children was, Christian felt there was no way Eva's result would have been the same if her talent was just a normal high one.
So, she must have some unique talent that needed something more specific, more advanced, to detect.
And figuring out "how" to detect that… was now the most important thing.
So, he returned to his third Idle slot, and after looking at it for a few seconds, finally decided to change it to a talent detecting technique!
[You have received 5,000 Experience]
[The skill Mortal Concealment Technique has become Lv.2 (21%)]
[The Idle Practice in the Third Slot, Talent Detecting Technique, has started.]
[The skill Mortal Talent Detecting Technique has been created.]
[Currently, the skill Mortal Talent Detecting Technique is Lv.0 (70%).]
Christian didn't even give the mortal label attached to the technique any attention. Instead, his focus locked onto the concealment technique's progress, how the percentage barely rose during nearly ten hours… how the leveling speed now moved at a snail's pace.
And once again, he felt it just wasn't worth it.
But anyway, he had long since wanted to help Eva and his sister grow stronger. And now, with this, they should finally be on the right track. After all, nothing could properly start without knowing the right path for strengthening… their talents.
Having finally taken care of that, and not intending to change any of the other Idle practicing slots, as he wanted the other skills to reach a certain level first, Christian finally shifted his attention to his unassigned points.
They were precious… they were his back-up, after all.
But, that had been his earlier thought. Now? It had changed.
In truly dire situations, a mere forty-two-point boost in constitution or esence, would do shit… that was his current assessment.
It wouldn't have made a difference in his earlier encounter, after all.
So, the right choice?
Dump them into his comprehension and accelerate his development.
Christian didn't hesitate any longer and finally assigned all of his unassigned points to comprehension.
He felt a sudden clarity in his mind, as if he could solve the most difficult problems in an instant.
… but it was a fleeting sensation, vanishing just as quickly. When he tried to focus on his current essence technique, for example, he felt that he could probably master it, especially on the knowledge side, much more quickly. But that was it.
For the other purely knowledge-based skills, there was a bigger effect, of course.
But again, that was it.
