Chapter 90 Training (2)
"Why did you try for three seconds?" Nova asked Pierre.
"I can't stop a skill if I use it," Pierre answered.
"That is correct. This is the number one issue. You will be fighting against higher-level enemies and you will need to act fast.
What happens if you can't stop in the middle of a movement? During these three seconds, I could kill that guy tens of times. And even if I couldn't kill, I could at least injure him.
The reverse is also true! He couldn't extend the movement beyond three seconds if he needed to.
What if he needed to hold me longer, even if he couldn't tackle me?
This is only the biggest issue! The second issue is the power he spent. The power applied in a skill is preset.
So, what if he needed to tackle one of the mage or summoner girls there? He would still apply the same amount of power he applied on me and get tired earlier.
This is not limited to the warriors. Every class is the same.
A priest doesn't need to use their full power to heal a scratch.
A summoner doesn't need to summon their full contractees for a small thing and then dispel them while they can just summon their contractee's body part—mouth, for example, for a bite.
The mages could use a spell with lower mana cost unlike when they are using skills.
The differences are not limited to this. The distance is preset. The power is preset. The timing is preset.
They are also limited by what you know. If a mage needs to levitate something, they shouldn't try to find that skill. Instead, they should use their magic to create that ability.
So, your skills are trash. Just leave them!"
Arlon already knew that he was right. This was the reason he never learned skills after the initial start.
Of course, he needed it at the beginning, but now that he could use spells, he didn't need them.
Arlon's goal during this week was to learn warrior abilities.
"So, from today forward, you are forbidden from using skills. You will meet with your respective trainers and learn how to gain abilities.
Ah! There was one issue. We don't have any crystal to evaluate magic powers. So, the mage girl and dragon boy will need to go and use the evaluation crystals in the West Training Grounds."
The mage girl was June and the dragon boy was Arlon. It seemed like Nova didn't learn names well.
They nodded and the first part of their learning ended, so, while others moved into the inner rooms, Arlon and June went to the west training grounds.
Unlike what Arlon thought would happen, June was also smitten with the dragon's cuteness. So, while she hesitated to ask at first, she requested to hold her on the way.
When they arrived at the training grounds, it was filled to the brim with the military personnel.
Someone came and greeted them. They knew that Arlon and June were coming.
So, under the eyes of many, they moved to the empty field where many Maguses were training.
When they entered, everyone looked at them with curiosity.
Maguses were always inclined to do research, and the dragon took their attention, so the training stopped.
"Everyone, these are two of the saviors invited by Lord Zephyrion. They will evaluate their magic with the crystals," the man introduced them.@@@@
A yellow light shined. The excitement deflated immediately.
Yellow was the second worst after white, so it was fairly common.
Until a Fairy among the Maguses, who was also training magic, shouted.
"That is not yellow!"
Everyone looked at the little Fairy with questioning eyes, but the Fairy was shaking.
"T-t-that is the legendary golden color!"

Everyone was dumbfounded. Was there a golden color?
"It is assumed that if Agema were to use the crystal ball, it would show gold," the Fairy explained.
These crystals were made from a mineral excavated in the Fairies' old land. They were the first ones to realize its potential and they were using it much before the others.
Golden was a legendary color, not seen by most before.
Hearing the explanation, everyone was awed once again. Even the trainer couldn't talk and looked at the color.
After a while, the color faded out and everyone started waiting with excitement once again.
Even though they still didn't know how good the gold color was, they were expectant about what would come next.
But, this time, again, something strange happened. Instead of small balls of light, the crystal shined with an ugly brown color.
It wasn't a small ball of light, but the whole crystal shined brown, and then, the ball shattered.
It broke and turned into dust.
Arlon jumped back, scared by the sudden impact and not understanding the phenomena.
What did brown mean?
Well, it was just all the colors jumbled up. There were many elements, and Arlon, or Agema's magic vessel, basically had an affinity with all.
But, since it was a first for everyone, no one knew what that meant.
After a few seconds of shock, the trainer talked at last, "W-we will send a message to the Magus Council to learn more about it. I am sorry, but we also don't know what it was..."
Magus Council would probably send researchers to examine what happened.
Arlon didn't mind. He was here for the warrior training anyway and his master was already teaching him more than necessary.
So, he just nodded and got back to his spot.
What he didn't realize was Nyx was moving toward the table.
After seeing Arlon and June, she was probably curious about the lights. So, she went to the table and took one crystal.
When everyone realized what was happening, she was already holding one.
And then, she infused mana to the crystal, imitating Arlon.
