Innate Ability
Hel raised one finger. "The answer is actually quite simple. It's the same reason why we have more status points than you right now. I'm pretty sure you are aware of the difference between our points, right?"
"Yes." Theo nodded immediately. He also knew the reason, but he couldn't put it into words. So, he let Hel explain it.
"If you continuously spend all your time in this modern world, it won't be weird if you don't get any extra points. But to increase your level, you have to go to the other side, getting exposed to their Magic Power.
"Your body will naturally absorb that Magic Power, but because your body has always been exposed to the modern world's energy, it makes your body repel it.
"Hence, when you rank up, that's where the Magic Power enters your body. Basically, your body has reached a certain threshold, so it opens a bit more reserve, allowing you to get more Magic Power."
