Chapter 71 Let’s Turn It Up A Little

nDoes the Host want to learn the skill “Blade Barrage”?
nCost: 10 Skill points
nYes
/No
nHarry’s eyes widened slightly, however, he wasn’t surprised by the notification itself but by the spell! The last thing he had expected was to find a tier three spell in the library!
nThough the notification said nothing about the skill or rather, spell tier, Harry was able to discover it through the spell book itself.
nOn every spell scroll, the name and tier of the spell was normally written at the upper and lower part of the ‘book’.
nHarry’s brows furrowed as he drifted into his thoughts.
nHis earlier plan had been to only spend ten skill points at most in each library, however, he got carried away and had already spent fifteen skill points in the wind library alone—coupled with Lightning Stun which he leant a few days ago, he only had thirty skill points left. 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘭.𝘦𝘵
nHe willed for the system to display the skill description and another set of characters flashed across his eyes.
nDoes the Host want to learn the skill “Blade Barrage”?
nBlade Barrage: Conjure a large number of wind blades—the number depends on the amount of mana used on the skill, and continuously shoot them out
nCost: 10 Skill points
nYes
/No
nHe shrugged slightly as he mumbled, ‘Yes.’
nThough he had spent more skill points than he earlier expected, it wasn’t like it was a waste.
nThe only downside to this was that he might not be able to learn tier two spells from the Lightning library and earth library.
nBesides, this was a very good opportunity and he couldn’t lose it; an opportunity to learn a powerful skill.
nLearning skill…
nAlthough he might not be able to activate the skill while in the academy as that would definitely make him seem suspicious, it would still be very useful to him.
nHe took out the scroll and stared at in surprise. He knew there was no tier three spell in the library and the fact that one was here meant the academy had made a mistake or someone forgot—perhaps a high ranking student or a student from an influential family.
nFor former was unlikely as the chances of the academy instructors dropping something like a tier three spell was very low.
nSo what happened was probably the latter—an Elementalist in the academy definitely forgot the spell in the library.
nHis mind subconsciously drifted to Trent, he could still remember how nervous Trent was when confronted by the librarian.
nIt was as if the brown haired boy had done something wrong, a low chuckle left Harry’s lips as he thought of the possibility.
nThough he didn’t know what made Trent unsettled, there was a high probability that it was because of the tier three spell.
nSkill Learnt: Blade Barrage
nFor some reason, the process took longer this time. It was probably because the spell was more complex than tier one two spells so the system took a little time to learn the skill.

nHarry’s eyes shone as he watched the medium sized lightning ball dancing around his palm.
nHe was currently in the training hall, since he had already become an ‘official’ stage one Elementalist, he was now free to training his ‘spells’ without worrying about any suspicions.
nIn front of him were a couple of flat rectangular targets, they were arranged horizontally on a small railing fixated on the ground.
nThe targets were pointed upwards so the flat surfaces faced Harry. At the middle of each of them, a medium sized red dot could be seen.
nThe gleam in Harry’s eyes shone brighter as he launched the bright blue ball cackling with lightning in his hands.
nThe lightning ball flew at an astonishing speed before hitting the red mark on one of the training targets.
nLightning danced around the surface for a few seconds before receding.
nHarry couldn’t help but smile as he stared at his palm, a few streaks of lightning were still on his palm even though he had cancelled the skill. They slowly receded as his hand returned to its normal ‘state’.
nThough this wasn’t the first time he would be activating Lightning Ball, this was the first time he had actually launched it.
nThe feeling of being free to use his ‘spells’ without worrying about being experimented on and viewed as an alien was exhilarating and he couldn’t help but relish in it.
nUsually he would only activate the skills and stare at the lightning ball above his palm, however, it was different now.
nAlthough he still couldn’t get too lax and complacent as he still had to be careful when using skills on par with tier two spells, he still felt glad—he was getting closer to accomplishing his goal.
nHis ‘mana core’ was still at the first stage and if he was found using skills like Wind slash and Lightning Strike which were basically tier two and tier three spells, he would definitely attract suspicions.
nHe squinted his eyes slightly as he stared at his elemental skills through the Skills and Abilities tab in the system.

nHe ignored the other element skills as his gaze drifted down to Wind skills and abilities, a slight smile appeared on his face as he stared at the last skill under the tab.
nOut of all his elements, his lightning element had the most skills, while his earth element had the fewest.
nHe only had two skills on par—and probably more powerful—with tier three spells. They were Lightning strike and Blade barrage, however, he still considered the later as the most powerful due to its wider attack range.
nHarry closed the system tab using his thoughts alone as he placed his attention back on the long rectangular objects in front of him.
nA slight smile appeared on Harry’s face as he turned towards the edge of the room where a short control device was located.
nWithout wasting too much time, he walked towards the device.
nThe training room control was fixated on the wall, its appearance and structure was similar to a telephone except it didn’t have a phone but rather, a red change-over that moved upwards and downwards.
nJust like a regular telephone, it also had buttons at the side.
n‘This is too boring, let’s turn it up a little…’ He said inwardly as he grabbed the red changeover handle.
