Chapter 54: 053 “Perception” and “Operation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “Uh...” Shane’s expression suddenly turned a bit sheepish. It wasn’t because he felt guilty for not meeting the learning conditions. Quite the opposite, Shane felt that he had more than fulfilled the conditions. ... Raise a melee weapon skill to Level 5 or above? Shane’s Two-Handed Sword was already at Level 10. Magic Power must meet the standard? Although he didn’t know exactly what the standard was, every time Shane leveled up, his abilities grew to the maximum. He also possessed the Magic Guide skill, which significantly improved his Magic Power and magical abilities; this skill was also at Level 10. If this still didn’t meet the standard, Shane wouldn’t believe it. Therefore, in terms of learning conditions, Shane undoubtedly met them, even exceeded them. However, for those uninformed, Shane was still just a Level 10 newbie adventurer, who hadn’t acquired a single skill, and didn’t seem capable of meeting the conditions to learn the Magical Sword. Because of this, when Tielle previously expressed her willingness to teach him the Magical Sword, everyone in Vivian’s Team was surprised, weren’t they? If Shane admitted here that he met the learning conditions, it would be akin to telling Tielle that he had actually been hiding information about his skills. That being the case... (No, maybe Tielle has already noticed something.) Shane suddenly realized. After all, Tielle had agreed to Shane’s request to learn the Magical Sword without hesitation. If Tielle thought Shane couldn’t meet the conditions to learn the Magical Sword, would she have agreed so readily? Certainly not. So... (This girl must have noticed something unusual about me, right?) Shane stared at Tielle, speechless. “Now, concentrate your attention and focus on yourself, perceive your own Magic Power.” Hearing this, Shane nodded and closed his eyes. “————” His consciousness dove into his body. “Thump thump...” His heartbeat seemed unusually clear. Shane focused all his attention and “searched” for Magic Power within himself. Before long... “I feel it.” Shane spoke with his eyes closed. In his mind, he could sense streams of Magic Power flowing within him. It felt as if he could see “air currents” or “water streams” flowing inside himself. In the past, Shane had felt Magic Power within his body, but never as clearly as now. Previously, Shane couldn’t say he was perceiving Magic Power. He was merely following the techniques for using skills, naturally allowing Magic Power to activate as the skill was used. Consequently... “Skill acquired—Magic Perception—learn?” The just-mentioned skill, Shane effortlessly earned the qualification to learn. Before Shane could react, Tielle’s voice reached his ears. “Focus your spirit more, concentrate deep within your body, use your consciousness to guide Magic Power, and release it.” “Remember, don’t release Magic Power with the feeling of using a skill. That way, Magic Power will follow that skill’s activation method naturally, and you won’t be able to control it, rendering it meaningless.” “You need to manipulate Magic Power with your own feeling, first mobilize it little by little, then gather it in the hand holding the weapon and release it. Note, don’t release it all at once, it will disperse; let Magic Power flow through your arm into the weapon and gather within it.” Listening to the instructions, Shane, who at some point drew the broad blade sword from his waist, followed Tielle’s guidance, manipulating the Magic Power within him. “Skill acquired—Magic Manipulation—learn?” Shane immediately obtained the new skill.
