I Reincarnated As A Stick Chapter 30: Repetition Pays Off

Seven hours have passed since Aurus killed Arogancia and started rolling towards the Tempest Ruin as he grinded experience to level his skills up.

During this somewhat long duration of time, Aurus easily finished grinding [Revitalising Anima Creation] to its max level, allowing it to evolve to S-grade if Aurus wished to do so. Aurus thought that [Revitalising Anima Creation] was the easiest skill to level up since the experience was easily given after just forming one Anima, but thanks to him repeatedly dispersing and forming all of his Anima, Aurus was able to fill the experience bars needed to level it up.

At the moment, he now had 25 floating Animas that all held 15 SP (Stick Points) within and 10 specialized Animas that would boost his SP or HP recovery whenever he needed.

It only took him around 30 minutes of the 7 hour timeframe to max this skill out, thus he decided to move to the other skills he had, first of which was the [Lowest Spirit Spell Core (Wind Variant)].

Since it was C-grade and Aurus had a massive stockpile of SP (Spirit Points) thanks to maxing out his Anima creation skill, the skill was easily maxed out, with the [Spirit Energy Core (Wind Variant)] and the [Purified Spiritas SP Vessel] gaining levels as well since both gain experience whenever any skill or spell that consumed SP was used. In fact, the former skill was also C-grade hence it reached the max level easily as well.

After maxing out his main method of attacking according to his current species, he then changed his focus to maxing out the [Spirit Lance of Three Worlds], previously known as the [Nut Trident Triad]. Aurus knew the value of having three methods of attacking condensed into one skill and he hoped that the amount of methods of attacking would just grow bigger once he maxed it out and evolved.

With the accompaniment of his large amounts of SP (Spirit Points), the 10 specialized Animas that focused on recovering his SP, Aurus started wreaking havoc on the path he treaded, making sure to shoot out a lance whenever the cooldown was finished. At first, he tried using the Sanction form of the Spirit Lance since it shot out multiple lances every second, but he found out that it didn't raise experience as fast as just shooting a lance of the Judgement or Law form, so he shot the latter two forms instead after realizing.

After he finished maxing the Spirit Lance out, he then checked the other skills he had that were still at the C-grade, which were [Wrath of the Spiritas], [Unyielding Spiritas], and [Form Morph].

He knew that he would waste lots of time on grinding the first two since both had long cooldowns and was meant to be used as life-saving skills, while the remaining one was a technique that could be activated and used at any time as long as he had SP.

And so he grinded that since he noticed that [Purified Spiritas SP Vessel] was nearing the max level.

While grinding the skill, he would turn into liquid at times, or his body would turn brown as he slightly grew in size, or perhaps he would grow multiple roots that would affix him to where he was. Nonetheless, it was quite easy for him to grind it to its max level since it was only a C-grade skill.

Aurus looked at the blue triangle above his body that had the number '2910' beside it, letting him know that there was only around 3 kilometers between him and the Tempest Ruin.

"Open the skill screen," Aurus commanded. The system faithfully followed Aurus' command and showed him the multiple skills he had at his arsenal as an grade Inanimate.

Ding!

________

He counted that the current amount of skills he had and got to a total of 19 skills. Compared to normal grade Inanimates, he had around 7-9 more skills when compared to them, allowing him to gain an edge over them.

"Then again, most of them are passive skills and the Life and Will skills are only available once I have enough Life and Will points," Aurus couldn't help but sarcastically laugh at the amount of skills he had.

He stopped rolling and scanned his surroundings with the help of the [Spirit Detection (Wind Variant)] spell he obtained after maxing his Spell Core. Seeing that there were no enemies, Aurus took a deep breath before commanding the system.

"Evolve all of my evolvable skills."

XXXX Continent, Seraph Kingdom, Arcana Tower.

"Greater Appraisal!"

Swoosh!

A large magic circle conjured above the place where Erea was standing and made her visibly shudder. In an instant, she thought that she was going to be killed by her teacher but she instantly calmed down after hearing Dane say, "Relax and don't resist, this is a Greater Appraisal spell. I can make a better way of ranking up if you don't resist. Who knows we might find a special class for you."

Erea's eyes glistened after hearing the phrase 'Special class'. To every person living within the world of Erudinia, a Special class was enough for them to become a distinguished person and be respected anywhere they went. If possible, Erea wanted a special class as well. Hence, she calmed down and closed her eyes, waiting for the appraisal spell to finish.

Weeeennnggg!

A beam of light shot out of the magic circle and enveloped Erea within. From Erea's perspective, it didn't hurt at all as she just felt a weird sensation of every secret she had being revealed. She didn't have any hidden secret or anything like that hence she was able to stay calm under the beam of light disappeared.

Not long after the disappearance of the light beam, the magic circle flew towards the parchment Dane held up and filled the piece of parchment with the ancient runes of an ancient race commonly known by all mages.

After seeing that the imprinting process on the parchment was over, Dane said to Erea who still had her eyes closed, "It's over now, give me a few moments." He then placed his chair nearer to the table where the orb was placed and neatly placed the parchment on the table. As he read the runes written on the parchment, from top to bottom, Dane's eyes were filled with surprise, then shock, then excitement.

________

With intense fervor, Dane stood up and held Erea's hands, making Erea shocked since it was rare for her teacher to get closer to her.

"W-W-What is it, Teacher?" Erea couldn't help but ask.

Dane's eyes glimmered as he looked at Erea. After a while, he realized his current position and lightly coughed as he sat back down. He then replied, "To rank up to a Rank 3 Class, increase your MP limit to 150, your Intelligence to 100, Vitality to 50 so it can hold your MP, and also..."

"Learn another Lower Level 1 Spell and try to cast the Lower Level 1 Spell you learned and then one you'll learn at the same time. With that, I assure you your Rank 3 Class would be great," Dane couldn't help but smile as he looked at Erea. Although the last passive skill she had was blurred, Dane was able to infer the passive skill she could possibly wield!

Dualcasting!

With her question answered, Erea memorized the requirements her teacher gave him and bowed respectfully before leaving. Coincidentally, an image of a weird looking branch appeared within Dane's mind.

He closed his eyes and tried to guesstimate the location of the weird looking branch. After a while, he opened his eyes as he grabbed a nearby map and made an X mark on one part of the Tempest Cliff with a quill dipped in ink.

Dane lightly smiled as he mumbled to himself, "With the Spiritas as the main material of His Highness' new weapon, would that possibly raise its rarity to Grand?"

After crossing a spot on the map, Dane then grabbed the crystal he used to contact His Highness Prince Vanadir and instead contacted two other people, who fortunately picked up at the instant Dane called.

"If it isn't Dane, what do you need?" A boisterous voice could be heard from the other side of the crystal. Although Dane hated loud voices, he knew who he was talking to.

Clearing his throat, Dane then said to the voice on the other side of the crystal.

"Artan, I want you to call Mira and join her. Afterwards, head towards the Tempest Cliff and capture a weird looking branch named a Spiritas."

"Once you capture it and give it to me, I'll make sure to give you a lot of gold."
