Even though Aaron learned that the meditation chamber would not be of much use as of now, he was hopeful that it would be one day. For now though, the other facilities are very useful.
The Gravity Room for one, increases the gravity on a person. It would burn stamina faster for a person who is in the room compared to when not in the room, but the more one works out, the better the growth of stamina would be.
It would be the same with Mana, but to burn out Mana, one has to use skills, which he can’t do at this moment due to the weird usage of his skills.
He has five skills, and two of his skills are just undead-summon skills. Once they are summoned to a number, extra can’t be summoned until they are dispersed.
These skills were very useful as they could be used without the requirement of mana in battle.
When these undead were summoned, mana was used, but then they could be stored in undead space. Summoning from undead space wouldn’t cost him anything. This would be helpful if he is low on mana or restrained from using mana.
One skill is a curse skill, which needs a live target. One was something that can erase his signature from others tracking him or he can use that to track others.
Only one skill, Sprint, can be used during training but that’s just running around. No need to train that skill unless there was nothing else to do.
So, he can only use the training facilities to improve his attributes like stamina, strength and agility, at least for now. Even though that was the case, he was more than happy as that could save him some FSPs, which he could use to improve INT and WIS or maybeVIT.
After having a quick breakfast, Aaron arrived at the auditorium where the orientation would take place. He visited this place the previous day when he was checking out the academy. So, it was quite easy for him to reach the place.
Moreover, a map was provided for everyone. So, even if they hadn’t checked out the buildings beforehand, it wasn’t that hard to find the auditorium.
When he arrived at the place, the place was almost empty. There were only a few students who arrived before him.
He quickly found a quiet corner to sit, hoping that no one would recognize him and cause some commotion.
Though the academy is famous for Dark and Death professions, there are other professionals who are present here. Light and Life based professionals are the only ones that were absent here to be exact as they can’t thrive in this region much.
Some idiots would cause him trouble on purpose, just because he was the top ranker and a Death Mage on top of that. He was not interested in wasting his time. Moreover, if the dispute escalates, it may land him in unnecessary trouble.
To avoid those, he selected a seat that was far away from others.
Since there was still time, he went on to check his status, which changed a bit when he assigned a few FSPs to his attributes the previous day.
Class/Profession: Death Mage, S-Rank
Talent: Super Growth (SS-Rank) (Unique)
Intelligence: 175 (+10) >> 190 (+10)
Health: 1,300 >> 1,400
Skills/Spells: Summon Skeleton (70/70) (Rank 7); Death Lash (Rank 4); Sprint (Rank 4); Death’s Disguise (Rank 6) ; Summon Ghost(20/20) (Rank 3);
Free Status Points: 322 >> 252
Items: Wolf Fang Pendant (+10 INT);
The previous day, Aaron increased his attributes using the FSPs that he had. A few days ago, the number seemed high, but now that is not the case.
After a few days away from levelling up, the number of FSPs decreased as he started using them to increase his attributes. Now, they appear as if they won’t be enough. To avoid that, he was thinking of starting levelling up as soon as possible.
The number of SPs didn’t decrease as he didn’t make use of them.
Aaron wanted his Summon Skeleton to reach Rank-9 to see if there was a rank beyond that. There was no information about that in the school books.
Once he improved the rank to Rank-7, he started to have a feeling to improve this skill to Rank-9 as soon as possible.
What would happen when he improved his skill to Rank-9? He has no idea, but he felt that he would know why he kept feeling to improve his skill rank to Rank-9.
There was no need to improve other skills for now, as their current rank would be more than enough for a long time. So, he decided to see what would happen.
Also, he wanted to know if Rank-9 is the highest that a skill can achieve or if there is a higher rank than that.
In books, it was mentioned that Rank-9 is the highest rank of a skill but it should be known that not every piece of known information would be out there for everyone. One has to earn the right to know some information.
Anyway, in order to reach Rank-9, he is in need of 500 SPs, 200 to reach Rank-8 and 300 to reach Rank-9.
At present, he has 173, a mere 27 lower than required to reach Rank-8. Once his skill reaches that rank, the number of skeletons would improve, and that would make it easier for Aaron to clear dungeon floors multiple times.
Normally, as a Rank-1 awakener, he would get +4 SP per level, but with his talent, that would be +40 per level. In order to get a total of 327 SPs, he only needed to increase his levels by nine.
It wouldn’t take much longer for him to achieve that.
He was slow because he didn’t want to attract unnecessary attention, unless there are actual benefits that comes with those risks.
Now, he can improve as fast as he can and he felt that its best to improve as fast as he could. After what happened on the train, he was of thought that there would be other attempts.
So, while waiting for the orinetation to start, his mind started to plan his growth.
"Okay, everyone is here", an old man with a white beard who appeared on the stage spoke, and once he said that, the doors that let people enter the Orientation hall closed, barring anyone else from entering from then on.
