98 Part 3
Perhaps?
Well, I wont know until I actually try it out. Theres no detailed explanation. But each try costs 3 skill points. I think its a little too much of a cost just for trying something out.
As Haruki was explaining, Karen was smiling as if she had made up her mind.
She seemed as if she was asking So, what are we going to do about it?
Cant you try to use it to enhance my magical skills?
I guess but
Well, you cant fiddle with someones skills without that board. I guess it cant hurt to give it a try, even if you mess it up somehow.
Having said that, an idyllic smile appeared on Karens face.
If he messed it up somehow, all he would need to do would be to work hard and improve his skills normally.
Harukis eyes were opened by Karens words.
Even if he were to make a mistake when spending those 3 points, he could simply make an effort to get those 3 points back.
Certainly, her words made sense.
Haruki smiled and nodded at Karen.
Little by little, Karens guts were starting to show.
She gave off this very dazzling aura as she moved forward step by step.
Haruki couldnt afford to come to a stop either.
With that thought, Haruki started off by tapping on Karens tree.

Just as I thought.
Like he had imagined, spending 3 points wasnt the end of it.
When Haruki tapped again, the explanation for the Tree Enhancement function appeared just like before, confirming the point distribution.
<< You can amplify the skills under this tree (MAX: 10) >>
What was written in the explanation was almost as Haruki imagined.
After that, Haruki tapped on his own tree.

Choosing the tech tree with the most skills would have been more efficient.
But, but!
The Stealth skill is in that tree!
That is one tree I cannot ever allow myself to enhance!!
Therefore, Haruki enhanced his Agility tree for the time being.
Agility is a necessary skill to have in order to fight with a short sword. There was no harm in raising it.
After putting away his Skill Board, Haruki side-stepped lightly.
Hmm It does feel different
He was clearly more agile than before.
The change he was feeling was the same as, or even better than, the one he felt when he equipped the feather decoration he obtained after defeating the Big Kokko.
This effect would increase even further as the skill raised to +2, +3, and so on.
Normally, skills increased with battles and training.
But what about this Tree Enhancement?
If this could only be raised with the Skill Board, it would be better to prioritize it and use his skill points on that rather than allocating them to normal skills.
3 points was expensive, but if that didnt grow naturally, it would be worth more than 3 points.
How about you, Karen?
I think its easier for me to handle my power.
Karen took out her staff and began to pump magical power into it.
Apparently, she was able to do it more smoothly than before.
Something tapped on Harukis shoulder.
Hmm?
As he turned to check, he saw Rhea shaking her leaves.
It was as if she was trying to tell him Dont forget about me!
Esta was poking at Harukis belly as if saying Im here too!
He was wagging his tail, full of curiosity and anticipation.
Seeing those twos lovable behavior, Haruki couldnt help but burst into laughter.
Okay.
Then lets improve both Esta and Rheas skills!

Esta was a tank. He had skills like Carapace and Armor Break, but efficiency-wise, it was better to enhance his Strength tree, where he had his Damage Reduction skill.
Both of them were fluttering their leaves and tail each, showing their excitement for having their skills enhanced.
Hmm!
At that moment, that pending question that had been escaping Harukis memory forcibly pushed itself into his consciousness.
