Chapter 21: Miss Kylie's Guidance
The recent event had given Rain a deeper understanding of his Golden Finger ability.
He checked his panel and noticed that the Mammoth Breath Technique lv1 (1/100) was displayed under the Militia panel, likely because there wasn't a more suitable profession panel for it.
It would indeed be odd to have the breathing technique displayed under the Blacksmith Apprentice profession panel.
As Rain pondered the promotion conditions in his mind, he found that he could maintain the first posture of the Mammoth Breath Technique for a full fifteen minutes, a significant improvement from the previous five minutes.
Miss Celia, who was observing him from the side, smiled and nodded, "Well done, Rain. Once you can maintain the first move for half an hour or more, you can try the second move."
Although Rain's constitution was a bit weak, his comprehension and learning speed were exceptional.
In fact, Rain's ability to persist for so long was partly due to the effectiveness of the Zousheng Gong.
Lady Sadia, the head maid, watched Rain with a look of astonishment.
"With such progress, it's no wonder Miss Kylie sees something special in Rain. It seems that when it comes to judging people, Miss's insight is far superior to mine."
【Congratulations! Your Constitution attribute has been enhanced!】
Rain was startled, and his attention immediately turned to the panel. He noticed that his Constitution had increased from five points to six.
He clearly remembered that he hadn't allocated any points just now.
What was going on?
His two professions, Blacksmith Apprentice and Militia, hadn't leveled up, yet his Constitution had suddenly increased.
Rain had a suspicion.
Did the Mammoth Breath Technique improve his Constitution?
The effect was almost immediate!
Wait, it might not be entirely due to the Mammoth Breath Technique.
His previous swordsmanship training must have laid a solid foundation, and his Constitution was already close to breaking through. Today's practice of the Mammoth Breath Technique was just the catalyst.
This scenario seemed the most realistic.
A pleasant surprise!
After the boost, Rain felt his fatigue melt away.
So, when he attempted the first move of the Mammoth Breath Technique for the third time, he might have been able to maintain it for around twenty-two minutes due to the slight increase in his Constitution, leaving Lady Sadia speechless once again!
Miss Kylie, standing nearby, nodded in satisfaction.
"Excellent knight talent!"
Rain, drenched in sweat, finished his third attempt and suddenly thought of a question. After some consideration, he asked, "Miss Kylie, do you know how long it took the fastest person to learn the first move of the Mammoth Breath Technique?"
Rain's question wasn't meant to boast; he wanted to gauge his current level.
He didn't want to stand out too much and be seen as an oddity!
Miss Kylie smiled gently and replied, "As far as I know, the fastest person to learn the first move of the Mammoth Breath Technique took five minutes. After grasping the key points in five minutes, they maintained the first move for over thirty minutes."
Rain couldn't help but feel a little stunned, as if he were the jester in this scenario.
"Alright, that's enough for today! Rain, you can go back and rest. A maid will bring you here in the next few days, and Lady Sadia will keep the Mammoth Breath Technique scroll for you."
"Thank you, Miss Kylie, Lady Sadia. Then, I'll take my leave." Rain bowed slightly and left the rear garden with the maid who had led him there.
For the commoners of this world, embarking on the extraordinary path is far more challenging than it is for the offspring of nobles!
For instance, after Rayn entered the room, he first ate a piece of Mammoth Bear meat. This meat was completely different from what he usually ate, indicating that it was either extremely valuable or incredibly difficult to obtain.
Without the backing of a powerful force, it would be nearly impossible for an ordinary commoner to afford such luxuries.
Based on Rayn's own experience, if he hadn't eaten this piece of bear meat, his current constitution wouldn't have been able to support him in continuously practicing the first form of the Mammoth Breath Technique.
S
Rayn had experienced the difference; practicing with and without the oil was like night and day.
The efficiency of his training was at least three to five times better with the oil.
In terms of experience points, the difference was stark; without the oil, he gained none, but with it, he earned five points in half an hour.
Thirdly, there was the advanced potion that Miss Kylie had casually mentioned earlier, which he hadn't yet figured out but believed to be crucial. Even Miss Kylie had furrowed her brows slightly when mentioning it, indicating its importance.
Clearly, this advanced potion must be incredibly valuable.
In summary, to progress smoothly on the extraordinary path, one needed wealth and the backing of a powerful force, which would allow others to recognize their value, a principle that remained unchanged from his previous life to this one.
Upon returning to the page's dormitory, George was the first to approach him with a question.
"Rayn, what did the head maid want with you?"
The entire dormitory fell silent, and as Rayn looked around, he noticed that almost every page had perked up their ears to listen.
Rayn couldn't help but smile and said, "Guess!"
"Get lost!" George exclaimed with a mix of excitement and mock anger.
However, since his best friend didn't elaborate, George didn't press further. Still, the other pages were dying to know!
"No wonder Rayn dared to fight Browbeard; he must know the head maid."
"Yeah, now it seems Rayn's family isn't ordinary either!"
"But I heard Rayn is just a farmer's son."
"..."
A dreamless night passed.
The next day, the beginner trainer's training continued, still focused on playing with the puppies. According to the elder, the purpose of this training was to enhance the bond between the dogs and their owners.
However, Rayn couldn't shake the thoughts of swordsmanship and other potential profession panels, like dog trainer or beast tamer, from his mind. So, he didn't make any excuses to skip the training.
After another day of playing with the dogs, Rayn followed the beautiful maid to Miss Kylie's study once more.
He ate another piece of bear meat, and this time, Rayn noticed that it seemed to be a bear rib.
Feeling unsatisfied, Rayn thought of something.
Wasn't the best part of a bear supposed to be its paws?
He hadn't had the chance to try them in his previous life.
He hoped that this time, he would get to taste the paws of this Mammoth Bear, which should be even more delicious than regular bear paws.
Rayn had assumed that today, like yesterday, he would continue practicing the Mammoth Breath Technique.
However, today, after Rayn practiced the first form of the Mammoth Breath Technique, Miss Kylie proposed a sparring match with him.
This proposal delighted Rayn beyond measure! After spending his days playing with the dogs and making almost no progress in basic swordsmanship, the opportunity to spar was more than welcome.
