The Immortal Player

After setting their respective pen-knives to rotate in a fixed axis, Pedro and Sabrina's class started with Ragas—teaching the basics of Mana.

"What do you guys know about Magical Energy or Mana for short?" Ragas asked Pedro and Sabrina—who stood in front of him. At this moment, Clara and Faunia simply sat comfortably on the ground, resting while casually watching everyone's back.

The two lovebirds thought for a second, and it was Sabrina who answered first. She said, "It's the energy used to cast skills."

Ragas simply nodded in response and said, "That's true, young miss! Magical Energy is the energy to be used or consumed to manifest specific abilities or skills. In the current state of humans these days, pre-recorded skills on skill pages were being used. Everyone might call it skills or abilities, in general, these days but… In the era of divine wars, it is the lowest in terms of strength compared to the other classification of skills, but is the most efficient and easy to learn and use skills—which were called "Enmas Skills"!"

"Most of the users of such skills were humans and other lesser beings—whose aim was to win battles through using the quantity of forces than the quality! Well… It was sure effective to the point that the Demon Lord back then even needed to create the Demonic Pawns—or now famous as monsters, just to counter them." At this moment, Ragas noticed that they are going a bit out of the topic. So, he can't help but scratch the back of his head and said, "Well… We'll talk about that some other time. What's important for you to know, for now, is that the Enmas Skills were the weakest amongst all other skill categories."

At this moment, Pedro raised his hand like a student and asked, "Other than Enmas Skills that—if I understood correctly, is meant for mass production, what are the other so-called categories of skills? Does it have something to do with the reason why even weapons or equipment could have certain skills on their own?"

Ragas simply nodded and smile in response. Then, he explained, "You can put it that way, young master! As for the other categories of skills, they are mostly separated dependent on the acquisition of the said skill or ability. For example…"

At this moment, Ragas' skin turned into scales—transforming into his humanoid form, while saying, "For humanoid races like Dragons and Wyverns, and the shapeshifter races like Slimes, Werewolves, and vampires, we have the so-called transformation skill that is under the Espec Skills. The skills are often only available to a specific race and are often inherited by birth. And as you know it—since it is rare, Espec Skills are often overpowered in their own ways."

Pedro interrupted Ragas by raising his hand once again, and asked, "Then, what about the skill page that I just sold to Duke Albert and Duke Ersi? It can allow them to transform into wolves—which I believe can still be considered as a transformation skill despite not being a race under humanoids nor shapeshifters?"

Ragas could not help but to scratch his chin and thought for a second. Then, he sighed and said, "I think… The young master should consider it to be amongst the Excen Skills."

"Excen Skills?" Pedro asked as his face wore a frown.

Ragas simply nodded in response and said, "Yes, young master! Excen Skills. The category where skills that do not belong to any of the three major skill categories falls—including the skills that fall into either two or three categories."

"Is Excen Skills any special compared to Enmas Skills and Espec Skills?" Pedro asked.

"Possibly yes… Possibly no, young master!" Ragas replied without hesitation. Then, he added, "You see… Excen Skills are also called eccentric skills—meaning that they are unique skills compared to other skills present in the whole world in terms of origin. That said, their strength had a huge variation from being as weak as being able to transform into livestock or being as strong as being able to transform into a legendary being. So… It is one of the skill categories that's more of a gamble. Thus, consequently making it the rarest of the rare skills."

Pedro smirk in response and said, "Well… With the transformation skill that Duke Ersi and Duke Albert have, I doubt that Excen Skills could still be considered as the rarest of the rare skills!"

Ragas could only rub his chin in response and said, "That would be difficult to claim, young master! After all, if the world is not short of Enmas and Espec Skills, then there is definitely no shortage of Enrul Skills—skills that are made by the deities or divine entities themselves!"

"Hooo…" Pedro could not help but smile because of both amazement and excitement. Then, he asked, "Can I know how to obtain Enrul Skills?"

Seeing the high expectations of Pedro to Enrul Skills, Ragas could not help but to shake his head and said, "These skills are the skills of the divine entities, themselves! In order to obtain one, either you get Enrul Skills as blessings from them—the easiest way… or obtain a specific item related to them—like your godly eyes… or lastly, you can get Enrul Skills by being a deity yourselves!"

Pedro's mouth went agape in response as his eyes seemed like they lost their life. On the other hand, Ragas could not help but laugh in response—knowing that Pedro's expectations had been crushed. Then, Ragas consoled, "It's alright, Young Master! You may not know it, but you already have several Enrul Skills with you. By that fact itself, you can consider yourself as someone lucky amongst the luckiest humans."

"He's right, human!" Faunia interrupted with a scold. Then, she continued, saying, "Add up the fact that there are no Divine Wars currently happening in the world! You're not just lucky amongst luckiest, but the luckiest amongst the luckiest!"

Pedro could only force out a smile in response. Well… Faunia was right. Pedro can indeed be considered as someone who was the luckiest amongst the luckiest. He was selected by Old D to become his potential successor while owning the eyes of one of the strongest Demons that ever existed. So, technically, he was someone who was the luckiest amongst the luckiest.

That said, in order to avoid an awkward atmosphere, Ragas faked a cough and said, "Going back… Determination of the origin of the skills is very important because it is where you would know how much Mana you need to spend in manifesting them! Espec Skills use almost to no Mana… Excen Skills has a varying Mana requirement… Enmas Skills has a medium to huge Mana to be used… While Enrul Skills requires massive Mana to be manifested. And by knowing that fact, you would know as to how much you would train in regards to your Mana Capacity and Mana Restoration Capability—in order to fully utilize your skills and abilities at their maximum!"

"In short, Since the two of you have Enrul Skills, both of you need to train your ass off and increase your Mana Capacity and Mana Restoration Capability—way past your limits." Faunia interrupted—seemingly annoyed.

That said, in the next second, Ragas faked a laugh and continued what Faunia said, saying, "In order to increase your Mana Capacity, all you need to is to keep using your Magical Energy! But it would be impossible to do so by simply using Enmas Skills! So, I would teach you how to use the basics of the basics of Enrul Skills, the mastery of Mana Utilization."

"Huh?" Pedro frowned in response and asked, "What does mastery of Mana Utilization had to do with Enrul Skills? Ain't all skills powered with Mana or Magical Energy?"

Ragas simply shook his head and said, "Enrul Skills can be considered as the pinnacle of skills in this world! And in order to fully utilize them, one must have complete mastery over their Mana Utilization. So, it was only evident that the both of you should master the Mana Utilization at any cost, in order to be able to maximize the use of your Enrul Skills."

"I see…" Pedro said as he nodded in response. "In the case of Enmas Skills, mastery of Mana Utilization is almost not needed… That is why only a few humans—like Clara, were knowledgeable about it!"

Clara simply nodded in response as Ragas smiled in agreement. Then, Ragas said, "Well… The more interaction you have with Divine Entities, the more you need to master the Mana Utilization because of the high probability of obtaining Enrul Skills… Moving forward… To start your training, you need to learn Mana Outburst—the first stage of mastering Mana Utilization."

Pedro and Sabrina simply nodded in response as they wait for Ragas' instructions. Of course, knowing that the two lovebirds were itching to learn and become stronger, Ragas did not delay their training any further. In the next second, he suddenly emanated a strong aura that gushed through the two love birds—consequently making them unconsciously activate their Demonic Eyes in response.
