Chapter 3: God-level Proficiency Evolution

Chapter 3: "God-tier: Proficiency Evolution"

Oh!

So this is the class-transfer ceremony of another world.

I can feel power surging up from within my body!

BOOM!

Dark clouds in the sky churned, swirling together above my head. A gale began to howl, and faint flashes of lightning danced within the clouds! The entire sky turned completely dark!

So this is a class-transfer ceremony.

It feels quite grand, doesn't it? It really has that fantasy vibe!

Kumironi looked up, just like Lu Cang.

"My, my... how rare."

Feeling the agitation of the elements, Iz also sat up from the ground. She first glanced at Kumironi, who was presiding over the ceremony, then looked at the churning clouds in the sky, revealing a bright smile.

The temperature plummeted!

It was as cold as the onset of winter, instantly coating everything in a layer of frost!

Kumironi’s ring glowed faintly, and she pulled out a thick coat to drape over Lu Cang.

"We can't do anything to help you with the class-transfer ceremony, but you won't be in any mortal danger. Focus your heart, feel it, and try to manipulate the power of the elements."

Lu Cang did as Kumironi said.

Please.

I hope I’m not some idiot like Lu Mingfei who can’t feel anything at all...

Lu Cang closed his eyes.

But after closing them, the world didn't fade into darkness.

On the contrary, it became even more concrete because of the elements.

The freezing chill was the element of ice.

The intangible flow was the element of wind.

The scorching heat was the element of fire.

The heavy, dense sensation was the earth and soil.

...

This must be what I’m supposed to feel.

Lu Cang followed the flow of the elements in his heart and lifted his hand slightly...

The countless leaping sparks of fire obeyed his command, gathering toward his palm.

WHOOSH!

Lu Cang opened his eyes again.

He saw a ball of flame coalescing in his hand.

Seeing this, Iz’s eyes lit up, and her smile widened.

Kumironi also covered her small mouth in surprise.

BANG!

As the flames condensed, the magic circle beneath his feet dissipated.

But Lu Cang could feel a power he had never experienced before flowing through his body.

Could it be...

Mana?

Holding the leaping flames in his hands, Lu Cang looked up at Kumironi: "Is this a successful class transfer?"

It felt a bit too simple.

Kumironi smiled: "Yes, very successful."

"Lu Cang, you have quite a good talent for magic. Perhaps only a little worse than Iz."

"It seems choosing to make you a Mage was the right decision. Perhaps you will become a very great mage in the future."

Oh?

A little worse than Iz?

It doesn't feel like a very good descriptor, even though she has a great personality and gives off a good vibe.

But being worse than a Level 5 mage...

It feels so average.

However...

Lu Cang felt a hazy mist appearing in his heart.

The mist swirled and condensed into a special symbol, engraved within his body.

[You gain one talent effect for every level up, and it will evolve into God-tier]

[Current—Mage: Level 1]

[Obtained Talent: Proficiency Mastery >> "God-tier: Proficiency Evolution"]

It’s here!

A unique talent!

It seems I am a bit different from ordinary people after all.

As a transmigrator who was suddenly and inexplicably chosen for this world, it’s understandable to be a little different.

However, Kumironi’s next words were spoken with a smile: "Since the class transfer is complete, feel what talent you’ve awakened."

Huh...?

Isn't the talent something only I have?

Kumironi counted on her fingers: "It might be a very rare talent, perhaps even a rare dual talent."

But Kumironi suddenly realized something and hurriedly added: "Ah, it doesn't matter if the talent you awakened isn't very powerful."

"Even a common talent like 'Proficiency Mastery' has plenty of room for development!"

"There are many ways to become stronger; Iz will always have a way."

"Of course, you don't have to tell us your talent if you don't want to. After all, your talent is your trump card. But if we know what it is, Iz can provide more targeted training for you."

"Don't worry, we will keep it a secret for you."

Is she trying to keep me from feeling disappointed?

What a truly kind group.

But that line, "a common talent like Proficiency Mastery," is a bit hurtful.

Is it really that common? It’s actually being listed as the most typical example right off the bat.

It feels like it’s become some kind of dime-a-dozen talent that everyone has.

Lu Cang replied in a low voice: "Proficiency Mastery."

Since it’s so common, it shouldn't matter if I reveal it.

Besides, I get a talent every level.

By the time I reach level 100, I’ll have 100 God-tier talents.

Revealing just one talent now doesn't mean I'm showing all my cards.

Wait, the level cap might not be 100.

Although I really want to ask Kumironi what the maximum level cap in this world is, that question feels too awkward.

Common sense questions like that should be known even by a three-year-old born and raised in this world.

If an 8-year-old doesn't know, it would seem very strange.

Having just arrived in this world, Lu Cang didn't want to appear suspicious.

I should change how I ask, in a way that doesn't expose my lack of common sense while still letting me know the level cap.

Hmm, I'll just ask what level the strongest mage in this world is; that way, I can deduce the level cap.

Iz: "Proficiency Mastery?"

"A good talent. Mastering spells faster means you can become a high-level mage sooner."

"Do you want to learn magic now?"

I originally wanted to take the opportunity to ask about the levels, but with Iz saying that, the question was instantly pushed to the back of my mind.

Lu Cang nodded excitedly.

Magic.

Who wouldn't be excited hearing that word? If someone could stay calm at the thought of casting magic, they must be a fake transmigrator, someone so cold they couldn't even get an erection if a beautiful girl stood naked in front of them.

"Yes!"

Iz struck a thoughtful pose: "Hmm... as a beginner, for your first spell."

"Let's learn a cool lightning-type spell."

"Tier 1 Lightning Magic: Lightning Strike."

Iz Palut raised her hand in a flash!

BOOM!

A pillar of lightning roared down!

In an instant, it blasted a tree that required two people to hug into charcoal.

Lu Cang’s eyes shone!

Magic!

In all the time I've been in this world, this is the first time I've seen Iz use magic!

Lightning Strike?

So strong!

A Tier 1 spell that even I can learn, and it can directly split a four-story-high tree that takes two people to hug into charred, smoking wood.

"I want to learn it!"

"Iz, how can I learn Lightning Strike!"

Iz: "Hehe~"

"To learn magic, the first step you must learn... is..."

Iz Palut pulled a book with a purple cover from her robes.

"Reading magic books."

Hearing this response.

Lu Cang froze in place.

Read... books?

Wait, don't tell me it's the legendary theoretical study? No! Can't I just learn magic by clicking a button to add points!
