Chat Group For Magicians

Chapter 70: Weakness Perception Part 2

"Uhh I don't know what you are talking about but most of my skills were from the chat group and I only got a skill genome from one of my companions to help detect a demon but other than that especially the offensive spells, it came from practice."

"Are you trying too hard on this one?"

"Uh I am not and I don't know where to get additional skill genomes at the moment so I will just stick with the manual training. Also, I don't need too much time, just give a few hours or so."

After that, I decided to focus on the task and ignored her. I made sure that she is safe though but other than that, I just ignored her without doing anything that can annoy her. I focused on the skill learning instead.

The Weakness Perception is one of the skills I am eyeing for and since it only involves the mind, I decided to check it out and try it.

Due to the nature of the beasts in this forest which is they don't share the same weaknesses due to their elemental affinities, killing them while relying on magic alone is not easy. I can kill a few monsters using my bare hands but that doesn't mean it is a permanent solution.

With the Weakness Perception, I will be able to find the weakness of the enemies easily without much problem and allowing me to take down enemies easily.

The ability takes a little bit of time to learn and that is to put yourself in the shoes of a blind person because you need to enhance your perception of a weakness fast. I closed my eyes and focused my mind. At first, it is a little bit hard to focus because of the forest's sounds like crickets and rustling sounds of the trees. However, it takes a little bit of concentration to do it.

I made sure that Yuri and Yuto are nearby to guard me against enemies and also to guard the girl I tied up. That way, I won't have any trouble with something amiss in the surroundings.

For some reason, while following the direction on how to do it, my energy seems to be sucked out or in precise, I am getting drained. I can feel the sweat on my body start to drip out of my forehead as I try to keep myself concentrated.

Also, it's not just that. I can hear different sounds coming in my ear but since Yuto and Yuri did not respond nor the girl I tied up started screaming, I decided to disregard it.

Then, just as I was trying to get myself in relax mode from concentration, all sorts of terrifying sounds started to resonate on my ear and my eyes are about to open to look at what was going on. But because I want to perfect the way to learn it, I didn't do it and remained on doing the practice.

Just as I was about to pass out, I heard Blue's voice on my side.

"Open your eyes now Kazuma. I can tell that you already learned it."

This time, I decided to open my eyes and I almost fell to the ground because I almost lost all my energy. Good thing it didn't take me too much that will cause me in a weakened state Yuri and Yuto helped me settle down and I sighed in relief.

Also, I can see that there are changes in my vision. It was much clearer than before and I think that my reaction time is a little bit faster using my eyes.

"Did you just learned the spell you are talking about?" The girl that was tied up asked.

"Yeah. I don't think I have problems learning it."

"Are you bluffing or what?" 

"I already told you that it is up to you to believe me or not. And besides, this is not an active skill I learned but somewhat a passive ability. So it would be pointless to say that I can show it to you for proof."

The two of us did not speak after that and I rested up so that I will recover my strength as soon as possible. Staying in a weakened state is something you don't want to happen in this forest and besides, enemies might be observing me now. If I remain in a weakened state, I will be an easy prey which is something I want to avoid.

I took a little bit of a nap but of course, I made sure that my two familiars won't do anything that can trouble me by summoning the little kitsunes with Kon. I saw the surprise look on the girl that I tied up earlier but I decided to ignore it.

The next morning, before the sun goes up the sky, I am already awake and decided to hunt. With my familiars guarding the girl, it is safe for me to venture out. I needed breakfast for today. The last piece of snake meat I got the other day already got digested inside our stomach last night so that is why we no longer have food left for breakfast.

The grass and the bushes are a little wet and the surroundings are a bit foggy making it a little bit hard to navigate fast in the area. Still, I needed to hunt. Holding a shiv I made from sharp flint I found the other day, I made my way around the place.

I scouted this place before and I am sure that the nest of the basilisk I hunted before is still here since I did not take it. However, I didn't expect to see two basilisk on that nest. They did not notice me yet but I made sure that they are not going to pose a problem. The only problem they can cause is their petrifying ability. I can fight one basilisk but we are talking about two of them here. 

As I stare at them, my vision started to focus on them when I saw a data appeared before me.

BASILISK Lv. 20

Points when killed: 100

Weakness: Weasel Urine

I was flabbergasted. Is this really the ability of the Weakness Perception? But it says here that its weakness is Weasel Urine? Can't I just throw a fireball to this monster instead? I want to eat the monster and I don't want to eat something that smells like piss of the weasel. Then, an update appeared once more.
