I Reincarnated As A Stick

Chapter 136: Aurus the Teacher



Chapter 136: Aurus the Teacher

Tempest Branch Alliance, within one of the secluded rooms found within the training tower.

Ding!

A holographic screen appeared in front of Aurus’ field of vision after commanding the system to bring up the Alliance Market, which the system did without fail.

In an instant, a wider selection of skills was brought to Aurus’ view, considering the fact that he was now a Pillar level member of the alliance. At the moment, he could now browse around 20 skills from the market at the same time, compared to the 5 or so that was available to him back then when he was an Executive level member.

Some of them did not stand out to him, either because he had no use for them, or because he already had a variant of such a skill already. Many of them garnered a bit of his interest, making him look at the description of the skill for a bit before moving on, or deciding whether to pick it up or not.

But only a single skill truly caught Aurus’ eye as he could not help but mutter, “This…”

“This is impossible, right?”

Hearing these words come out of Aurus’ mouth, Charisa could not help but tilt her head flame to lean closer to where Aurus was and ask, “Oh? What’s impossible, Master?”

Ding!

Without hesitation, Aurus brought up the description of the skill in front of his vision for him to know whether the name of the skill truly did what it’s said to do, or if it was just a farce of sorts.

_________

[Skill Impartation]

Grade: C (Mortal)

Expounding and enhancing skills, the force that makes beings strive further to become stronger and better versions of themselves. Once one reaches a peak, they wish to establish a force, an organization that follows the skills used by the being. This skill allows the user to teach skills to those it wants to teach.

Note that the taught skill would be the most basic version of the skill, the one who is taught the skill must exert their own effort to reach the same level of skill as the user.

“I’m…not dreaming,” Aurus muttered once more, prompting Charisa to ask one more time, “What’s happening to you, Master? Are you losing it? Do you need our help?”

“Huh?” Charisa’s question brought Aurus out of his daze, making him recall the question that Charisa asked him a while ago. It took him a while to formulate an answer, saying, “I’m fine, I’m fine. I’m just surprised that such a skill exists that would let you two have some things to do other than wait.”

“But we’re fine with doing nothing though?” Fenrir and Charisa responded at the same time. If it was any other time, Aurus would respect their decisions and let them do nothing other than accompany him in his grinding spree to power, but since Chonk was coming to wage war against the Tempest Branch Alliance sooner or later, he decided that his two allies would also give additional firepower to fight against them.

The reason why he said that he felt bad for summoning the two of them earlier with them doing nothing for now was because he was going to put them in the same state as him one way or another. With this skill though…it would put them under a state slightly worse than his because they did not absorb any Comprehension Leaf of any grade.

Ding!

‘You have obtained [Skill Impartation].’

Without hesitation, Aurus bought [Skill Impartation] for no cost from the Alliance Market. The reason to this was because Pillar level members are what hold the alliance together, so it wouldn’t make sense for the Pillars to be weak. Hence, this was the case.

After learning the skill, Aurus then closed all of the holographic screens in front of his field of vision and asked the two of them, “Are you two fine with grinding experience for all of your skills to their maximum levels?”

“We don’t have a problem with that, Master,” Fenrir was the first one to respond, with Charisa nodding her head flame. “Our sole purpose is to follow the Master’s commands, everything else is secondary.”

“Yep, yep! That’s why you shouldn’t feel bad for making us do nothing!” Charisa responded after Fenrir with a cheerful aura around her, only to then change her aura as she said not long after, “Oh, wait. That kind of sounds off.”

“Well…since both of you agree with grinding skills, can you grind all of your current skills to the peak Mortal level?” Aurus asked the two of them, to which the two responded affirmatively.

“We can do that, Master,” Fenrir responded in a respectful manner. “Many of my skills, thanks to your hasty levelling, have stagnated at around B-grade and A-grade, so it is truly fine, Master.”

Hearing these words come out of Fenrir, Aurus could not help but apologize to him. “I’m seriously sorry about that Fenrir. The thought of letting you grind your skills flew away from my mind whenever you were out helping me. This time though, you can take as much time as you want grinding your skills up.”

After saying those words, he then looked at Charisa and asked, “How about you, Charisa? Are you fine with grinding your skills to the peak Mortal level?”

Charisa responded in a cheerful tone, “Yep~! That’s fine with me~”

But not long after, she added, “But I would have to take a longer time doing that since most of my skills are at C and B-grade. If Master brought me out to fight, it would probably be a different outcome, heheh.”

Aurus could not help but feel apologetic to Charisa as well. What she said was true as Aurus had only levelled and evolved Charisa before keeping her inside the system. Unlike Fenrir, she truly had no time to use her skills.

As they started to grind their skills out, he decided to come close to Charisa first to try out the new skill he obtained.

“Charisa, do you mind if I test some skill I just got on you?” he asked.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

While Charisa’s flames were swaying to and fro, she replied, “As long as it doesn’t hurt me or anything, I don’t mind~ I have to keep my beauty, you know~”

“I promise it won’t hurt,” Aurus lightly chuckled as he said not long after, “[Skill Impartation]!”

Ding!

Not long after reciting the skill’s name, a holographic screen appeared in front of his field of vision, revealing all of the skills he had currently learned, with many of them being blacked out. Only some were glowing, which meant that they could be imparted to other beings.

‘Please choose the skill you would like to impart,’ the system’s monotonous voice resounded within his mind.

He looked through the possible skills he could impart, thinking about the order at which he could impart these skills. In the end, he decided that it did not matter at which order they learned the skills since they would still grind it up in the end anyway.

“I choose [Formosus Exuberance].” After casting out the thoughts of skill learning order, Aurus decided to impart Charisa a healing skill. Surely, anyone would like to learn a healing skill as well in order for them to survive for longer, right?

Whoosh!

Not long after, a green mote of light then started to hover above Aurus’ sculpture head, radiating a gentle yet powerful energy. Nonetheless, since Fenrir and Charisa knew that their master was experimenting with a new skill, they paid it no heed.

Ding!

‘Please select a target to impart the skill on,’ the monotonous voice then resounded throughout his mind one more time, giving him two targets to choose from.

“I choose Charisa.” Of course, Aurus chose Charisa as he obtained her consent first. He would also do the same thing to Fenrir after he had imparted all of the useful skills he could impart to Charisa.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Not long after choosing Charisa as the target, the green mote of light hovering above Aurus’ sculpture head changed color, turning into that of dark red.

This mote of light then headed towards Charisa, who subconsciously absorbed the mote of light.

Ding!

‘You have imparted the skill [Formosus Exuberance] to Charisa. After adapting to the target’s species, [Formosus Exuberance] has been transformed to the C-grade level [Flame Healing].’

“Eh?!” A few seconds after obtaining the notification, a surprised scream came out of Charisa, prompting her to look at her master, Aurus.

“Master, did you do this? I instantly learned a skill named [Flame Healing]…did this come from you, Master?” Due to the shock, Charisa could not focus on grinding her skills, making her ask this question.

“Yes, and by the looks of it, it works,” Aurus responded with glee. “This is the new skill I obtained which allows me to teach you two some skills that I know.”

He then turned to Fenrir and said, “Fenrir, I’ll be teaching you some skills later as well. I hope you don’t mind coming last.”

“I don’t mind at all, Master,” Although Fenrir answered in a nonchalant tone, Fenrir’s tail wagged back and forth at a great speed, unable to hide his excitement of being more connected with his master.

“And with that…” Aurus then turned to look back at Charisa to ask, “Are you ready to learn more skills, Charisa?”

“I’m always ready, Master~! Even you tell me to bend over, I’d do it~” Charisa responded with exuberance.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

And so, Aurus imparted three more skills for Charisa to learn, increasing her repertoire of skills to use in future fights. The skills that Aurus imparted were his escape cum movement skill, [Void Gale Spirit Shift], his stat boosting skill, [Zenith Spirit Transcendence], and his defensive skill, [Unyielding Barrier of the Spiritas Magnus].

Of course, with the first impartation Aurus did, maxing out the skill, it was evolved to the B-grade Mortal skill [Greater Skill Impartation], allowing the next three skills to be imparted to start at B-grade Mortal.

He then moved on to Fenrir to impart the same four skills he imparted to Charisa. But this time, the skill had reached it maximum level again, evolving into the A-grade Mortal skill [Wisdom Transportation]. All of the skills that were imparted to Fenrir started at A-grade, even his defensive skill, which was still at B-grade.

All of these skills adapted to the bodies of the two, allowing the skills to show its 100% efficiency when used by them. While imparting these skills, he did have thoughts of using it on the alliance’s members for them to also grow stronger, but he had the thought that Herellia might have done that already since it was impossible for her to not have learned the skill as well.

And so, with his imparting spree done, Aurus went back to grinding out his Ruler skills, which would allow his title to rise in rank.

At this time, he could not help but ask himself, “Am I forgetting something?”
