Dungeon country , Biruce , a certain hotel .Leo was once again sitting on the windowsill . Every once in a while , a few soldier gave him a strange look but they realised he had a wisp of the Captain"s Mana on his body , so they did not dare to say anything . After one reached a certain level of strength , they could use their Mana as an object , to store it into objects and act as proof of their existence .
As long as that Mana existed , the owner was alive . This also acted as a deterrent against their organisations . Like a get-out-of-jail free card .
Leo yawned as he looked down at the high rise building and the soldiers below . The man knew Leo like high buildings , and thus arranged him a room at the hotel reaching the highest point and even booked a room at the top floor .
Leo looked back inside to see Leah reading a book . There were 20 more books on the table , out of which some were of ice magic , another some were of water magic , with more than half of lightning magic . If he knew he would have to study magic from a book , he would have kept a higher Mana .
Mana , was just what the system called it . Leo once checked his status in the hero level measuring device(HLMD) at the capital after being forced by that man who he only knew as captain .
It turned out these were the findings :
Strength : 23.70
Stamina : 21.92
Dexterity : 22.98
Vitality : 22.60
Wisdom : 21.02
intelligence : 23.48
Intelligence is the same thing as Mana and as it turns out , the more Mana capacity one has , the smarter they are .
Wisdom , is the same as perception . It improves how you observe things and how clearly you can observe them . Basically , the more wisdom you have , the more clearer the world is , if that makes sense .
Vitality was the same as usual , more you have , the longer you live .
Dexterity , increases your reflexes and body movement and whatnot . It makes it easier to move your body around .
Stamina , is the energy used by the physical body . It basically increases the stamina . That"s it .
And strength is the maximum amount of power the body can exert at one instance . Basically , as 1 is a normal human"s strength , a person with 20 strength attributes can exert 20x a normal human"s strength .
That"s it . No major changes . Just the name has change , and it became easier to understand because the system never described what the attribute types did .
Leo also found out , a normal human has 2 attributes at the very least at half . Usually , it"s intelligence or wisdom being one of them .
Leo wanted to learn magic right now , so he was waiting for his una.s.signed points to be a.s.signed . He of course directly a.s.signed them to intelligence .
[ 12 points a.s.signed to intelligence ]
[ Attribute total : 147.70 reached pseudo-upper-intermediate tier ]
[ Anything below middle intermediate tier does not affect the attributes or growth boost ]
Leo sighed as he looked down at the soldiers .
" Each of them is at least as strong as an upper-intermediate tier hero . I can"t go anywhere without being followed . I am a balanced type . Was , at least , until now . I need to focus on my strength and intelligence with the una.s.signed points . The rest , can grow with the rest ." He thought as he went back in through the opened window .
" Intelligence makes it easier to use anything related to Mana . Strength , well , just makes me strong . If I have more mana , I can use [ Reaper ] as a normal ability ."
Right now the abilities [Reaper] gave him could only act as means of travelling . There was no way he could actively use them in battles when he consumed 6000 Mana/min and had only 3500 Mana with 3% Regeneration .
" Brother , you also need to study . That uncle gave us these magic books because he heard you say you wanted to learn magic . At least learn it if you asked for it ." Leah said as she stood up , with the book still in her hands .
" As you wish . I will sit right by your side and study all the magic I can . Just do me a favor and arrange it in the way I have to learn them ." He said as he picked up the whole stack of books and sat next where Leah was standing .
Leah looked at him for some time , then nodded and sat back down . " The 5 on top are mine so let"s remove those ." She said as she picked up the 5 books on the top of the stack and put them on her side . " Start from the " Theory of electricity " and " How electrons move " after that go for " Elec ... "
Leo listened as his sister put the book in a series from where he had to learn and where it would end . She put the books one by one as she said their names , and when it reached 5 she pushed them back on the table and put another book on the first position .
After about 15 minutes , when she was done briefly explaining the contents of the books along with the name , there were 3 columns of books with 5 books in each .
" So what you are saying is , I have to go from the one on the leftmost top to the one at the rightmost bottom , just to set up a basic foundation for sighting magic ?" He said as he pointed at each of the books he named .
Leah looked at him with a smile and said " Pretty much ."
Leo looked back at the books on the table and almost fainted as he remembered a problem .
" The first 5 are taught to students in up to high school . The next 5 in college , and the next only those who work with electricity everyday will know ." His thoughts stopped here as he looked the top column . He sighed with regret as he mumbled " Why does going to school have benefits in another world ?" under his breath .
