The [Agriculture] Skill Might Be Better Than I Thought

-----

Technically, I don't have infinite HP or MP, but it never runs out, so it's infinite in a way, right? However, in another way, it's not… it's kind of confusing, to be honest. Not even the System can properly explain how it's done, but she did say that she drained a lot of power from her creator due to this error by mistake, which made this power a staple within my soul.

I don't even know where the mana and health that never runs out comes from. Perhaps it came from the environment? Then again, my parents are so strong that they should have realized they were having their mana drained or something, right?

Pushing that topic aside for now, the System has recently acquired the ability to show me the descriptions of my skills, so here they are. However, they're not that detailed.

…

[Royal Elven Lineage]

A signature of having the royal bloodline of elves running through your veins. Your affinity with magic and spirits is enhanced greatly, many times that of normal elves. The growth of your Magic and Mana stat is enhanced by +100%. You're more likely to find spirits that will favor you or join you throughout your life. If a spirit is recruited, Spirit Magic can be unlocked.

…

This one was something I didn't expect. After all, I didn't know it had such effects, to the point that it left me a bit shocked. However, the growth increase seems to be useless because my stat numbers are frozen, and the ability to acquire Spirit Magic as a skill is also useless because my skill status is also frozen. In other words, I can't get new skills. I'm stuck with what I got after being born.

Nevertheless, the System did say that even if it doesn't show in the system, this does affect my growth "outside the system" and that acquiring and learning Spirit Magic is also possible. However, it wouldn't be as easy as using a Spirit Magic skill… I think I'm getting it now. Such an overpowered being as me would need to have to go through some difficulties in life, or it won't be fun, I get it…

…

[Agriculture]

A signature skill from the Farmer class.

Grants the ability to detect the health of plants, their inner talents, capabilities, and species by just glancing at them. Additionally, grants the ability to enhance and control plants through the usage of mana.

…

Here it is, the one I was just about to use. Quite a simple explanation…

…

[Lesser Fire Magic: Ember]

A lesser Fire attribute magic spell, the weakest there is.

By spending 10 mana, one could create a small fire to light candles, start a small fire, or illuminate a small and dark place.

The power of this spell is mediocre and cannot be properly used for fighting. Even the slightest breeze can make this tiny flame disappear.

Cooldown: No cooldown.

…

Ah, System, do you really have to rub something like this on my face? I know it's the weakest spell! However, if I combine it with the next skill I'll show and add on my infinite mana, I can even use it several times consecutively to conjure something big by melding all the fire together… it's an insane method which my parents had noticed as "my unique way to conjure magic".

Because it has no cooldown, I can technically spam it infinitely. Other spells above Ember do have some cooldown, I believe.

…

[Mana Usage]

The ability to naturally wield mana. Grants the ability to use mana without any previous required experience. While activated, you can use your own mind to mold the mana to your liking, but a lot of mana has to be utilized. Can be practiced continuously for better and more efficient results. This is the lowest tiered Mana Usage-type skill, below Mana Manipulation and Mana Mastery.

…

I see. So, this is actually the lowest tiered skill?! But it helped me out so much… imagine what I could do if I had those other two… damn.

In any case, that's that. These skills are pretty great, compared to the absolute nothing I had in my previous life. Well, they're my gifts in this life, so I must use them and abuse them accordingly.

Now, back to business.

There's a small little black seed in the palm of my hand, which I got from an Eden Apple.

"La~ La~ La~"

Mother's leisurely cooking some dragon stew and also frying some dragon tempura. In fact, she's even baking some fresh bread, so I think she's busy enough that she won't bother me.

With that, I looked at the tiny seed in my baby hand as I activate Mana Usage and Agriculture at the same time, infusing the skills' effects into the seed.

Flash!

The effect was almost instantaneous. The seed began to glow with a mix of bright gold and emerald green light.

Wow. I must say this is quite amazing to see.

The seed began to glow with these two lights as it began to tremble a bit.

Crack.

A tiny crack suddenly emerged from the seed sometime later as a small little blue sprout emerged. It was very tiny… but it was there. It was growing.

Wow…

The sprout grew a tiny bit, around half a centimeter, but before I thought it would grow any further, it stopped.

Ugh.

A strong headache caught me by surprise.

Agh!

Was that really so hard to do?! I thought I could surprise mother with a big tree.

I calmed myself down and looked at the sprout.

Hey, even a tiny leaf emerged, not bad for my first day. I might as well gradually make it grow every day.

I decided to show it to mom, who had felt a faint magical presence and was already coming here to check me out… a mother truly has divine senses.

"Sylphy, are you playing with magic again?"

"Maaa! Aah! Baah!"

I raised my tiny hand and showed her what I made.

"Eh? A seed…? Oh, it has a sprout on it and a tiny leaf… hmm? D-Did you make this?"

I nodded confidently.

"W-Wow! You have the ability of Nature Magic? You can grow plants?"

I nodded again in response.

"Amazing, Sylphy! You actually have an ability that your parents don't possess! Let me go show it to your father!"

With that, Mother grabbed my seed and flew outside. Soon after, my father quickly came back with her.

"Sylphy, that seed… you made it sprout, right?" he asked.

I nodded in response.

"Well… that's actually a seed that usually only grows when bathed in Spiritual Spring Water for over 50 years… you really made an Eden Apple seed sprout just like that?!"

Oh… was it that amazing?

Wait a second… so that's why it exhausted me so much!
