Skill Training

Yale had also received the healing books he had asked Tar, and thanks to his current healing prowess he managed to learn easily the three best spells that he could learn with his level.

[Major Healing Level 1: Major natural healing to the target. Healing Element. It requires 10 Origin Points. Mastery at level 50.]

[Water Healing Level 1: Uses water to heal injuries on the target. Water/Healing element. It requires 15 Origin Points. Mastery at level 50.]

[Light Healing Level 1: Uses light to heal injuries on the target. Light/Healing element. It requires 15 Origin Points. Mastery at level 50.]

Major Healing was an improved version of Basic Healing while Water Healing and Light Healing were advanced elemental healing spells, due to Yale's affinities in water and light and his experience in healing, he was able to skip learning weaker spells and learned the difficult ones directly.

Both elemental healings were similar, but for specific situations, they could have their efficiency improved or decreased. For example, using Light Healing in a dark place will be less effective than in a well-illuminated place, and using Water Healing in a wet environment was better than in a dry one.

Furthermore, Light Healing was excellent for treating curses and poisons while Water Healing was better to heal burns and sickness.

In the next days, the Frost Wolf Company turned even more famous due to the creation of the Wyba Fan Club, an official association of Wyba's fans whose memberships fees went to the Frost Wolf Company and the Thousand Roses Company. That was Julie's idea, and she was the founder and leader of the fan club.

The results were extraordinary as they obtained a lot of easy money, so at the start Oscro was happy, but he ended depressed after Julie managed to double the income again.

It wasn't that Oscro didn't like more money, he loved money, but Julie had doubled the income by also creating the Silent Healer Fan Club, and its popularity was almost at the same level as the Wyba Fan Club.

Oscro was feeling bad because he also wanted a fan club, but sadly he wasn't popular enough, he couldn't compete with a cute wolf cub or the cool and mysterious Silent Healer.

Since the day of the challenge, even if Yale had spoken once, his mysteriousness increased due to his display of skills and the fact he had received special treatment from the merchant association.

Furthermore, Yale was handsome from the start, and everyone knew that Wyba was his life-bound beast, getting Yale was the same as getting Wyba, so it wasn't difficult that he obtained a lot of fans, most of them were in the two fan clubs at the same time.

Yale himself didn't care about having fans or not, he wasn't interested in such people he didn't even know, Yale wanted to focus on his training. However, the fact that he didn't seem affected by having fans only made him look cooler in the eyes of the girls and made his popularity increase even more.

Oscro was conflicted between the great income of money and his jealousy against Yale. After all, Oscro wasn't like Yale; if he had so many fans, he would have enjoyed having a lot of girls for himself instead of being cold and distant.

In the following months, the Frost Wolf Company and the Thousand Roses Company made an official alliance, and with the wealth and influence of both companies, they managed to reach the platinum rank. It was pretty normal that companies made such alliances in order to reach further heights and since both companies had a very close relationship, no one was surprised by it.

With that Julie, Oscro, and Yale as founders obtained some status in the association, although Yale didn't need it as with his status even elders should be respectful to him.

In those months, the level of Smith Mastery finally started to increase after Yale's lessons with the grandmaster. Moreover, Yale had mastered Fire Ball and Water Ball thanks to using them continuously.

The grandmaster was also specialized in magic smithing, so he taught Yale some spells useful for magic smithing after Yale mastered the first ones.

[Inferno Level 1: Creates high-temperature fire. Can be used for battle and magic smithing. Fire Element. It requires 5 Origin Points. Mastery at level 50.]

[Freeze Level 1: Froze the target covering it with ice or cold water. Can be used for battle and magic smithing. Water Element. It requires 4 Origin Points. Mastery at level 50.]

Yale liked those two new spells as they could also be very useful in battle.

Yale's Stone Golem had also been upgraded to the tenth level when Yale had mastered Fire Ball and Water Ball, but the level for reaching mastery for the Stone Golem spell was the level hundred, so Yale had still a long way to improve before reaching mastery. The best part was that after reaching the tenth level, the Stone Golem cost was reduced to three origin points per minute. 

Furthermore, the grandmaster taught Yale how to manipulate the stone golems to turn the stone into metal after Yale managed to reach the twentieth level in the following months, which made the golems more suitable for smithing. Metal was a sub-element from earth but controlling it was harder than ice as Yale didn't have too much affinity with the earth element, only mid-grade.

Before his twelfth birthday, Yale had also managed to master Tri-Sword, Spark, Quick Wind, Wind Wings, Fire Shield, Minor Boost, Frost Claw, Sparkling Sword, and Tri-sparkling Sword.

Yale had been able to spend time training his skills in those months, after reaching the 1-star he had never had that much time to train his skills, and he felt that he should master most of them before starting focusing on new ones.

Yale knew too many skills, so he wanted to focus a bit more, and he didn't try to learn a lot of new ones, he only asked Tar for a lightning element spell. Tar's misunderstanding about Yale's skills was still useful to get more skills without too many explanations.

[Thunderbolt Level 1: Creates thunderbolts. In stormy weather, the power will be increased. Lightning Element. It requires 5 Origin Points. Mastery at level 50.]

There was also the fact that obtaining better versions of some of his mastered spells was extremely difficult.

Yale wanted a better Flying Skill, but Flying Skills were too extravagant, and the one Yale knew was already very good, the association didn't have anything better than someone at Yale's level could use.

The same happened to Boost Skills, they were far too strange, Yale only obtained Minor Boost thanks to Nurvey who belonged to the Imperial Family of the Revgen Empire, and they specialized in such skills. The boost skills available in the merchant association weren't able to entice Yale for trying to learn them, they had so many after-effects for a low boost.

As for Battle Skills or Combined Skills, the merchant association had a lot of them, but Yale wanted to create his own instead of learning from others. Given his prowess with the sword, he could do it, and a self-created skill was always more suited to use than a learned one, even if the same skill were available to learn from the books.

The day Yale turned twelve, he was far stronger than before due to his improved mastery of skills.

Besides the Passive Skills and the skills which can't level up, all the other skills had reached at least the twentieth level or had been mastered. The difficulty of increasing the skills increased a lot after that point.

Time Healing was the only one Yale had managed to level up until the thirtieth level a few days before his birthday, and that was because the skill was already at a higher level from before and was the skill that he used the most.

The Frost Wolf Company had planned a great party due to Yale's birthday. That party was something asked by the Silent Healer Fan Club and the Wyba Fan Club because Yale had said that both birthdays were the same day. 

Yale wasn't exactly sure of Wyba's real birthday, but it was without doubts near his own because he had entered the Beast Trial just after turning nine and Wyba was newborn when he found her and her mother.

Even Appraisal seemed to take Yale's birthday as the day to update Wyba's age too; the system could only make an approximation of Wyba's age using Appraisal, so as Yale's chosen date wasn't too far from the real one the system adopted it as the correct one.

Yale didn't want to go to such a party; he was already at the Apprentice level 9 in Smith Mastery, he wanted to focus on the breakthrough to the expert stage. To Yale, that party was a loss of time, but he couldn't reject it as the fan clubs were also the greatest customers they had even if they didn't take into account their membership fees.

Yale went to the party while checking his stats.

[Name: Yale| Age: 12| Origin Level: 9| Origin Points: 83/83]

[Vitality: 82| Strength: 84| Agility: 84| Intelligence: 84| Wisdom: 84| Dexterity: 81]
