After the deletion, almost all of the functions were removed, leaving only the main function of the system and its auxiliary features, along with a few items which were supposed to be given to the host for the completion of some tasks but instead are now lying idly without any restriction to use them in the system.

Talent Replication!

The main function of the system which isn't deleted... this feature is correct of the system that allows it's host to be able to replicate and gain talents of others be it living or non-living to gain their talents.

Be the target living or already dead once Ian now comes in contact with the target or the effect of their skill somehow then Ian can use his system to replicate the particular talent the target holds and implant it in the host for him to own.

This is one of the most overused cheats isn't it?

If you look at the long lists of protagonist and their abilities the one thing you can definitely find in the majority of them is their ability to replicate others powers in the name of devour, necromancy and what not...

But then also it's an overpowered ability!

In this world majority of the population are born with innate talents and rarely someone are able to gain acquired talents due to whatever reasons but even after that not many in the world possesses more than one talent... yeah one can posses more than one talent and as per records in the school books there were people in the past who were either born with multiple talents or hunted for powerful treasures as to acquire more talents and become more powerful... but even so isn't their a limit to how many talents one can gain through acquired means?

Hunting for rare resources and competing for them you can only imagine how fierce the competitions can truly go becauss of which gaining multiple talent is a thing not many could afford but Ian?

With this system in hand he could just copy powerful talents of strong individuals or even the monsters without any need to worry about competitions and grow stronger... Isn't this a terrifying ability?

And now this ability is mine!

Ian couldn't help but be gleeful about the development he had gone through by gaining this system... even though majority of the system's functions are now destroyed this ability is alone overpowered and if used correctly Ian can reach the heights he previously thought to be impossible.

Though it's just replicates supernatural talents and not physical traits it is still a heck of an ability!

The talent replication only works on supernatural talents and not on physical traits which in simpler terms can be explained by the following example, have you ever heard about microbes which posses true regeneration? Yeah if you cut them they would just regrow their parts and multiply... that's their ingrain physical traits... Ian can't replicate those physical traits but if there is lizardmen or trolls with amazing regeneration talents which rely on magical means to work then Ian could replicate their talents and gain similar regeneration trait.

This can be counted as a drawback of the system but it still remains an overpowered function I guess?

Well anyways not only the function of talent replication is powerful but it's auxiliary abilities are truly amazing!

With addition to replication the system can also help Ian to know about target's talents like an appraisal ability but only about talents and nothing else and its final ability is none other than talent merge where if Ian wants he can fuse his talents together creating a stronger or weaker talent based on the combination which is also an amazing ability.

Removing his eyes from the system screen Ian looked at the school nurse who was busy on her phone watching short videos and observed the small screen that appeared on top of her head.

[Pain Reduction (E)]

An E rank talent?

In this world there are total of 8 recognised classes of talents F, E, D, C, B, A, S and Ex grade... these grades are what humans have classified the talents into given their application, range of use and other factors.

There are legends where it is mentioned that there exists higher level of talents and whatnot possessed by the heroes of the legend but that's just what everyone thinks is just a myth... but maybe they exists? Who knows

E Rank talent Pain Reduction which can reduce the pain of the target.

Should I check my system out on this talent? ...Nah

Though Ian is excited to use his system he don't want to waste it on some E Rank ability... there exists countless people who possesses higher grades of talents so why waste the system on low grade talents?

In just this school there exists 3 people with high grade talents of A and S grade so why bother with low grade talents not to mention he doesn't know if there are chances to use the system or any kind of cool down or not.

With my experience of the novels usually these kinds of systems have some kind of cool down and likes which can lasts for months so does my system also have those?

Ian wondered as he looked at the system screen and decided to play it safe and wait till he got in contact with those people to get their talents for himself.

I guess I have to wait before to actually use the system but till then what to do?.. Ah there were some items available for me to use by the system weren't there?

By a simple mental command Ian directed the system to show him the items it previously mentioned about and a new tabs opened up on the system screen.
