Chapter 122: - An Ideal Development
"Now then, let's start right away."
"Un!"
What we needed to do first was to decide how to allocate a large amount of SP she had right now.
I lined up next to Hana and looked at her status screen together. Then, we checked the amount of SP required to raise the level of each skill.
__Skills in possession__–
Stock Lv 1→Lv 2 (Required SP: 1000)
Body Reinforcement Lv 3→Lv 4 (Required SP: 40)
Magic Power Manipulation Lv 3→Lv 4 (Required SP: 800)
Magic Power Increase Lv 5→Lv 6 (Required SP: 1200)
__________
Probably because the level of her skills is originally high, the amount of SP required to raise each skill is quite high, except [Body Reinforcement].
Especially for [Stock] that requires 1,000 SP to raise it to level two, which is surprising. Well, it is a very excellent skill after all, so, I think it cannot be helped.
Then, Hana tilted her next and looked at me.
"Nee, Onii-chan. Which skills are important?"
"… To be honest, all of them are important."
Let alone [Stock] that was a unique skill, even the other skills she had were highly versatile, so, there is no loss even if she raises their levels. That was my frank opinion.
By the way [Magic Power Manipulation] is a skill that makes it easier for its user to handle their magic power when activating magic. To put it simply, it is a skill that improves one’s technique– just think of it as a magical version of [Swordsmanship] and [Spear Art].
The power of magic depends not only on the skill level, but also on the technique of the person who activates it. And this skill will improve that technique.
At any rate, let's get back to the topic. The problem was which skill that she should raise the level first but actually that answer has already been decided.
"Since you have leeway in SP, first, do raise the level of Body Reinforcement to Lv 10. With that, you would be able to acquire skills that will greatly improve your status such as Herculean Strength, Perseverance, and High-Speed Movement. And also, in order to maximize the ability of Hana's unique skill, Stock, I think it’s better for you to be able to handle close combat too."
“Okay, then, I will do that."
As Hana seems to trust me from the bottom of her heart, she instantly raised the level of [Body Reinforcement] skill without hesitation. As a result, the skill became Lv 10 using 490 SP.
Now, here goes the main issue.
"Well then, next is finally Stock’s turn. You understand that this skill will be very important for Hana to become stronger as an adventurer, right?"
"… Un, of course. I would be able to defeat an opponent that far stronger than me depending on how I used it after all,"
Hana said with a solemn look on her face.
"That's right. However, currently, it can only copy Lv 1 or less skill. This means, the situations where that skill can be useful is quite limited. That's why, if possible, I want you to be able to at least copy Lv 5 skills"
"Then, I should just raise the skill level of Stock, right?"
"Aa. To see the tendency of what will be improved, let's raise it to Lv 2 for the time being."
"… understood."
Nodding, Hana raised the level of [Stock] to Lv 2. As a result, its effect changed like this.
______
Stock Lv2
Condition: Copying Lv2 or less skills possessed by someone by directly touching the target.
Number of copies: Up to two types
Copy time: Up to 20 minutes (Can be extended by touching the target again)
________
"I see, so that's how it changed."
The skills that could be copied are changed from Lv 1 to Lv 2. The number of copies changed to two types. And the copy time was changed to 20 minutes. It was an ideal evolution where all the conditions are improved.
"Onii-chan, is this good? Or bad?"
"It's quite good. With this, it will be quite useful."
"Really?!"
Hearing my words, Hana showed a happy reaction, which made my heart soften.
After that, she continues to raise the level of [Stock] to Lv 3 and decided to leave the remaining SP for the time being as we decided to decide what to do with it after seeing Hana fight with a monster.
Therefore, Hana and I immediately started to look for monsters.
