Once they teleported to a training room, frost wolf told her

« Firstly, let’s see your skill. Normally, you instinctively understand how to use your skill when you obtain it but since you were unconscious, you probably don’t know it so let’s use the other methods. To begin with, sit on the ground and turn your back to me.”

After she sat down and seeing her so tense, he continued:

“Calm down. I’ll just use my own energy to poke your core and you’ll use it’s reaction to try to enter in focus on it. Once it’s done, you’ll instinctively understand it’s basic uses”

Suzu’s pov

After I calmed down, he placed his hand on my back and gently injected a stream of power on my body. Then, this energy slowly entered my body, and when attaining the right side of my hearth, I felt a poking. Strange feeling, I felt as if a finger poked me from the inside. Concentrating where I felt the poking, I suddently appeared on an empty space. In that space, I didtinctly saw two pearls rotating around each others. I immediately understood that these are my skills cores. Then, when I entered in contact with the red one, I instantly understood how to use it, as if I’ve always know and just recalled it.

Opening my eyes, I bought my hand before me and a small flame appeared on my palm. That’s my first ability.

“So, that’s your skill?” wolf

“Fire clad. Like its name suggest, it enable me to clad objects or people with flames. And I can choose to burn that object or not.” suzu

“And the other?” wolf

“Wait a minute. … There is it” suzu

And then, a small pearl appeared on my hand before a crude ice sword appeared from it

“I don’t really understand but it seem that I can create ice equipment using that pearl.” suzu

“good. Now, that you know about your skills and as such can upgrade it, let’s begin from the most important subjects: how long do you take to absorb a seed.

Here, take these seeds and absorb them” wolf

Saying that, he gave me two seeds, one ice and another fire. He gave me these two seeds because except during the level changing, we can’t absorb seeds of others elements than those we have. Also, since I’m a dual skill user, I must eat two opposite seeds at the same time. Then, after eating the two seeds, i guided its energy to my skill core and waited.

“Since we have time when waiting for the core to be completely absorbed, let’s begin your training. Firstly, here.” Wolf

Saying that, he gave me another pearl looking thing. Except, it isn’t a seed, but a beast core

“You see, that is an hibernating slime. And a rare one at that” Wolf

A slime. The new favorite pet together with cats and dogs. It’s said that when a slime find itself in a place without food, it can enter a deep hibernation until there’s food again.

“That slime is a flour slime, also called dough slime. Among the various slimes, it only eat grain flour and water, making it very rare. Also, while its intelligence is below that of a mimic slime, it’s fighting ability is comparable. So, let’s begin to wake it up“wolf

Saying that, he took a bag of flour and after I dropped a drop of my blood on the core (slimes are the sole beings that can be tamed by anybody that way) and placing it on the flour, brother wolf summoned a ball of water and dropped it inside. Then, all the flour and water concentrated together to form a ball of dough. And so, my first slime is born.

“Now, let’s multiply it. So, if a few of them die during your sparring sessions, you won’t lose too much.” Wolf

Saying that, he took other floors bags and water and gave them to the slime. Before long, the slime divided itself a few times

“now, then, to begin witch, fight one of your slimes”

Then, preparing myself, I faced one of the slimes. Then, I summoned ny crude ice sword with look more like a stick, clad it with my fire and slashed at the slime with my full power. Then, my sword missed and broke while striking the flour. The good news is that I discovered that I discovered that the fires of my skill can transfers on contact and will continue to burn so long as I don’t stop it. The bad news is that the slime transformed into a humanoid form vaguely looking like me and slashed at me with a crude sword cloaked with flames. Scared, I closed my eyes and wafer waiting a little and not feeling any pain, I opened my eyes only to find myself near brother wolf and with the slime calmly standing where we sparred.

“Now that you experienced it for yourself, you should have understood but floor slimes fight similarly to mimic slimes. Except that while mimic slimes copy all abilities of being that it absorbs and can only use the abilities of the being absorbed, flour slimes, unlike its name and lifestyles suggest, can copy skills that they’ve once seen or experienced, but it can use skills of different beings without the need to transform beforehand and he can become better as time pass. Also, as it becomes stronger, it will be able to copy stronger skills but currently, it can only copy weak skills like yours. Also, like mimic, while copying a body, it function like that body, so, cutting it’s head will defeat it and making it unables to fight for some times, but it will regenerate after somes times since it’s core isn’t destroyed. Now, fight it again.” Wolf

And that’s how I trained with a slime until my seed was completely absorbed. Also, it took me approximatively two hours twenty five minutes to absorb a seed so, I can absorb 10 seeds per days.
