Nai wa?!

I can finally see my skills now?!

Does this mean [Appraisal] leveled up??

I checked the skill list, and yes—it did!

Oh, Appraisal-san, I've waited for this day for so long…

I'm so happy!!

My efforts have finally paid off.

I can't contain my joy and keep screaming like a madman.

"What's all that noise? Already heard you from when I woke up," Seina complains.

Look! Look!

This is my skill right there!

"…I didn't expect it to be this many…"

Even Seina can't hide her surprise.

I'm genuinely shocked at how many skills I have.

Wait a moment.

Can I view detailed info for each skill?

Let's try.

I randomly pick a skill and appraise it:

<>

Woah, that actually works!

I have to read through all these!

"Hurry up—you'll help me with my project using this info," Seina says.

"I didn't know you had this many magic types," Suzu adds in.

Hmm… these are skills I rarely use, so not too important. But wait…

Did I misread the effect of [Patience]?

"You didn't," Seina confirms.

So that explains why, after staying still for over ten days, I ended up at 1 HP—that was the skill in action! The temporary invincibility is insanely strong.

Next:

<

Level 1 – Blessing: Heals physical wounds for allies or self, especially effective against wounds from [Dark Magic].

Level 2 – Purify: Removes all negative effects currently affecting the user, highly effective against [Dark Magic] wounds.

Level 3 – Saint Slash: Summons a "Holy Sword" that swipes forward and explodes on impact, inflicting the "Holy" attribute on targets within a 5-meter radius.

Level 4 – Saint Pierce: Summons a "Holy Sword" that pierces forward through all barriers, also inflicting "Holy" on all targets in its path.

Level 5 - Eternal Flame: Summons part of the immortal flame from the peak of Imperior, which cannot be extinguished until the target is completely incinerated.>>

My goodness… one skill with so many abilities.

"This is called elemental magic. Each elemental magic isn't just a single spell—it contains multiple techniques," Suzu explains.

Oh, I see now.

These seem pretty powerful…

And there's even an "immortal flame"!

With that, I have nothing to fear.

"I don't recommend using it unless in life-or-death situations. To cast that flame, you must also be able to withstand it, or you'll be consumed along with your enemies."

Nai wa!

A skill that powerful but restricted… what's the point?

"In fact, once you reach level 7 in this skill, you can use it once."

Oh, you know that?

"I've only seen its potential briefly. You'll know more once you level it further—there could be side effects."

Suzu's words make me even more eager.

Can I preview it?

"Eh? I…."

Go ahead…

"Please don't make that face…."

Just a little…

I try to make the cutest expression—I think it works.

"That… that ability is… resurrection."

Nai waaaaaaaaa!

Can I just pay to level it immediately??

"Don't get ahead of yourself… you still can't cast the magic yet."

Oh, right.

Then when can I cast magic?

"When your first three related skills are maxed, using magic will unlock unimaginable effects—and you might gain the skill [Magic Talent]. This is actually my real goal. Most people don't know this secret, but please be patient a bit longer."

So it's all been part of the plan.

Then I should follow Suzu's advice.

Ah, so these are the skills that boosted my stats so fast—especially [Plunder]!

At level six, I can steal… 21% of all stats? That's insane.

With that, I don't need to grind lower floors. I can stay higher and farm stats from challenges even if XP is less—it all adds up.

This is a truly broken skill!

Hmm, I can guess their functions from the names—nothing surprising.

This was covered already by Loyral, so next:

So that's how support works—but only three times per skill. I'll have to choose carefully to optimize evolution.

This one seems unlimited.

I've read enough for now. I'll review other skills as needed later.

This info really helped me understand myself better—time to decide what to do next.
