Chapter 74: Knowledge

~Silva K. POV~

[September 3, X784]

After finding some time to chill I began to study up on magic lessons from Mavis about certain spells and what spells I would need to learn in certain subjects.

When that was done with, she left I finally brought out the magic books I collected from my time raiding Phantom Lord's Magic library going through a few of them.

I read some of them that interested me. The ones that did were Rune Magic which could assist me in modifying my own weapons and enhancing them with additional effects.

But the one that I gained interest the most is this skill book and the Requip Book causing me to smirk seeing the pop-ups shown.

[You obtained the skill book 'Basics of Requip Magic.' Would you like to learn this skill?]

[You obtained the skill book 'Basics of Archive Magic.' Would you like to learn this skill?]

I finally pressed the yes button already learning the skill and the principles behind it instantly.

Yes.

Accepting the yes icon window, I watched as the book shattered into light and vanished, feeling the knowledge flow into me as it did so. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply before opening them once more seeing a new skill had been obtained.

Vanishing in a flash of light I began to see and translate as well as understand the fundamentals of Requip Magic till I saw other windows pop up as I saw the notification.

With the flash show over with I then see I gained new skills some of which I was surprised to see for the first time myself.

And I couldn't be any happier to see them.

<Requip Magic> (Active) Lv.1/100 Exp: 0.0%

MP Cost: Varies

Description: Requip is a Caster Magic and a type of Spatial Magic related to the summoning of various types of equipment. This Magic allows the users to store items in a pocket dimension so they can easily summon them at any time, even during battle, which gives them a high level of flexibility in combat.

However, there is a limit to how much the pocket dimension can store. Requip can be used for simple or combat-related purposes. Some users may just choose to use it to change their clothing.

Requip users can also project a holographic inventory screen where they can view and organize items in their pocket dimension, as well as add items without the user equipping it themselves.

*Shiii*

Popping up were actual magical screens appearing as I smirked seeing the <Archive Magic> screens appearing as I began to start working on this.

*Tp*

Tapping on the archive screen I began to work around with my magical data making some fixes here and there.

But most importantly what I'm doing is updating my storage aka my brain updating it to optimize my memory storage units.

*Beep*

Hearing the beeps of my Archive Magic working around I saw downloading and refreshing old ones taking a few hours for me to work here.

I merely leaned my body on my bed viewing the screen taking a few hours to work the changes of gaining another skill that would undoubtedly be useful waiting the next day for the process would be done.

Like that, I took this time to rest letting the process be done…

Although it seems like I might need to personally reboot myself memory-wise of my brain it would take about a day for the processing of the updates into my head to be completed. This should be worth it though since it would help my memory better for other purposes.

Beginning to update I soon lost consciousness at my bed letting the process work itself out.

[September 4, X784]

Ugh…

Opening my I heard a distinct beeping sound from my head I opened my eyes to reveal my magic screens appearing as I groaned from the headache, "Argh… it feels like my head is split open. But I feel like I remember more than I should… which means…!"

Excitement filled my tone as I noticed the gamer ability screen show me just the skill I gained.

Just what I wanted.

[Ding!]

[Due to letting the <Archive Magic> update your cognitive and memory storage functions of the brain as skills have been generated as per the user updates!]

[Passive Skill: <Photographic Memory> is learned!]

[Passive Skill: <Perfect Vision> is learned!]

Perfect.

Immediately began to check it out as I began to do my usual daily quest recording and knowing everything in a much clearer light.

Skill List.

----

<Photographic Memory> (Passive) Lv. MAX

Description: Users can remember great volumes of information, in greater detail and for much longer than the average human, they can read books, listen to song lyrics, encounter people or experience events and recall a vast deal of the details of their experience. In addition, it takes less effort to recall the information they encounter, and they can remember it for longer without having to strain.

<Perfect Vision> (Passive) Lv. MAX

Description: The user can copy how a person aims, giving themselves incredible marksmanship, any/all movements/actions after observing it performed once through the muscle movements of their targets, including acrobatics, martial arts, and other physical stunts.

With these skills, they can become masters and incredible at what they do with some effort, by combining several forms and movements in rhythmic motions instead of using the same thing over; however, if they wanted to use certain weapons, they would have to watch a person fire that weapon in order to be able to copy it such as how to fire a rifle, as opposed to how to fire a bow, or how to throw knives or darts.

Whew…

Sighing out loud feeling the updates to my brain using my Archive Magic has helped me manage to test out how I can modify my human brain with the information provided and inputs of commands needed to make them effective.

Especially with Spectator with my <Perfect Vision> certainly helps me locate how people's movements go.

Now then…

[Ding!]

Popping up using my Archive Magic I began to observe a video of my time sparing with Erza from July using my memories but this time however I used my Spectator Insight ability along with <Perfect Vision> to see her movements effectively.

[<Sword Mastery> +15 EXP]

[<Archive Magic> LEVEL UP!]

[<Sword Mastery> +15 EXP]

Bingo.

Using my <Perfect Vision> to observe Erza's own sword Mastery is grinding up my own just by viewing her in action noticing the muscle movements with each flow of her strikes along with unarmed combat.

[<Archive Magic> LEVEL UP!]

[<Unarmed Combat> +5 EXP]

I couldn't help myself now that I can use this form of <Archive Magic> to help me reorganize my brain's cognitive functions and memory capacity.

This could come in handy in a fight learning as I grow. Along with the fact I have Erza's fights to borrow and observe in my own free time.

Although it certainly feels like that wannabe Cursed King training merely by watching drama shows to control his own emotions training.

*Chiii*

Conjuring up an ice sword from my <Freeze> skill creating a blade of ice I try to follow the movements of Erza's swordplay to get a better understanding of her sword magic.

I could use that to my advantage but first…

Going over my eyes finally look towards the piles of books regarding some letter and rune magic going over a few of them.

Learning the few types of Magic could be draining and with the lack of time trying to use my Magic for this situation of a time crunch, I would need a basic type of Spell for me to use in the meantime.

Hmm…

For now, though I would have to wait a bit to choose what Magic would suit me. For now, I need to begin cracking down on the Mana Method soon enough along with runes adding additional effects to my gear.

Going over to the few volumes of them I wonder if I can replicate some Mystic Codes from Fate…

Never got to know much of the lore behind it only stayed night and Fate's first one I think?

Bah!

They're all the same just different timelines, I think?

Shrugging at this I began to work on reading the Mana Method reading everything while trying to decipher other types of runes needed and what effects are capable.

When I finish understanding the Mana Method, I can essentially command my Magic to what I want with enough time and effort poured into it.

After that…

It would be time I began creating <Mana Zone> next once I have the Mana Method down…
