Chapter 372

Riana has changed as a person. It was an inevitable situation. Riana was actually a lazy person who wasted time, but she was a very powerful psychic who grew on her own. She had the power but didn't use it to live. However, in this situation, Riana was grateful for the power that had accumulated in the time she had wasted, and she was making an effort to hone it sincerely. She was not only training her psychic abilities but also focusing on physical training that she had disliked and avoided until now. Cliff was helping her with that part. Ultimately, I don't know which direction Riana should take her revenge. Riana pursues strength more than anyone else. And, I really need to prepare. Prepare to be everyone's enemy. The moment was approaching. The achievement score was 17,730 points. It had not been used specifically so far, and it was left as an emergency fund because a big event could occur. The most recent use was to strengthen the speech to create a big gap for Leberiere Ranche during the festival. I strengthened the speech to tie up his movements and stabbed the Tiamahta, which had been demonized in his heart, into his heart. Since then, I became the true owner of Tiamahta, and Tiamahta could transform freely according to my will, becoming a holy sword or a demon sword. The achievement score was always my very powerful weapon because it could create a big variable. There are quite a few things I can do with this. If I use 8,000 points, I can develop my fourth talent. My talents are self-suggestion, speech, and magic domination. To become a master class, I need a talent related to combat, but self-suggestion can function as a talent related to combat. However, acquiring a talent for swordsmanship is not a bad thing. If I acquire swordsmanship, the speed at which I reach the master class will be faster. If I use 8,000 points, the remaining achievement score will be 9,000 points. If I want to develop my fifth talent, I need 16,000 points, so I need 7,000 more achievement points if I want to develop my fifth talent. However, I am considering two talents. [Swordsmanship - 8,000 points] and [Psychic Resistance - 8,000 points]. I may need resistance to psychic abilities. With her pure mind, Riana is almost immune to mental magic and may need psychic resistance in the future, but that can be trained. However, resistance to psychic abilities is impossible. If her true identity is revealed, countless people will become her enemies, including Riana de Grants. Riana's lightning ability has become significantly stronger through awakening. Of course, Riana's resistance is somewhat manageable due to the protection generated by magical reinforcement. However, if she had psychic resistance, she could be safe from not only Riana but also other existing psychics. The real problem is not Riana, but Scarlet. Scarlet's immunity power completely neutralizes her. In front of that power that nullifies psychic abilities, Riana cannot use her self-suggestion or speech. People saw Scarlet's power neutralizing her during the tournament. If her identity as the Demon King is revealed and a fight breaks out, Scarlet is the real dangerous enemy, not Ellen. If Scarlet's immunity power is classified as psychic, can it be offset by psychic resistance? Of course, even if it is not, it can be made possible. Riana uses 8,000 achievement points to acquire the talent of swordsmanship. She is torn between acquiring the talent of psychic resistance or swordsmanship, which requires 16,000 points. Riana decides to acquire the talent of psychic resistance. She now has the talents of swordsmanship, magical domination, self-suggestion, and speech, which are optimal conditions for becoming a master class. The remaining achievement points are 9,730. She wants to keep them for emergencies. The achievement points are the only ability that can interfere with the world, and the only way to acquire them is through challenges. The top two challenges match her goals: identifying the Akasha and finding the Kantus Magna. The challenges are not a joke anymore. Summary of previous part: In the previous part, Riana decides to acquire the talent of psychic resistance, which requires 16,000 achievement points. She now has several talents and is on her way to becoming a master class. The remaining achievement points are being saved for emergencies. The top two challenges match her goals: identifying the Akasha and finding the Kantus Magna. In this section, the text discusses the irrelevance of achievement points and the importance of pure skill. Riana's lightning ability has become stronger, but Scarlet's immunity power completely neutralizes her. If her identity as the Demon King is revealed and a fight breaks out, Scarlet is the real dangerous enemy, not Ellen. "I should also be able to enhance my magic power...."

Wait, no. That's something you shouldn't realize until your first year. Ellen couldn't do it when she was in her first year either. It's just that the situation was so strange that she realized it too early. She actually bled and I passed out for a few days.

But it's just that she's comparing herself to others, and she's at the level of thinking she's a sparrow when she's actually a crane.

If things continue like this, she may have to shrink back because she will only be a hindrance if Riana really has to fight. And if a fight breaks out right now, there is a high probability that it will happen.

As always, Ellen looks at Cliff with a blank expression.

"Don't think too hastily. There's no need to be in such a hurry."

It's also Ellen's strength to casually comfort others.

"We don't know when something might happen. If the Demon King thinks that he might threaten them now or later, he might attack the temple."

Uh...

If the Demon King really wants to destroy humanity and start a war in the demon world, he might do that.

But I'm not like that!

I'm here with you guys!

This must be the phrase used when you feel like you're going to explode inside.

"...Yeah."

But the problem was that it was a credible statement.

The incident disguised as an attack by the demon race caused various misunderstandings about the demon race. People began to believe that not only a few powerful demons, but also demons such as orcs and ogres existed under the Demon King's command. The imagination of those who thought that they already had a considerable military force was added. There were also questions about why the demons attacked that place, but people were engulfed in fear of demons as Berthus intended. Many people did not question the true reason.

To be precise, it was understood that they were trying to attack the capital of the small country, Lebaeina, but the branch of the merchant guild on the outskirts was attacked by bad luck.

Soon.

The fear that the Demon King's hand might reach anywhere at any time was sleeping in everyone's hearts, and that was not an exception for Cliff.

And.

The temple where talented people who could be called the future of the empire were sleeping was considered the top priority for attack by humans. Even among them, the Royal Class. To break the future of the empire that the Demon King dreams of, it is the first place to be suppressed.

Cliff's anxiety that he is still too weak and that he may become dangerous at any time was convincing, regardless of my actual intentions.

To be precise, it's that he's too weak compared to Riana.

"So I'm trying to focus on magic power sensing training for now, and I was wondering if you could help me a bit."

"You already did that."

"...It just didn't work."

"Still...."

Cliff seemed to have judged that if he didn't succeed in enhancing his magic power, he wouldn't even start. But Ellen and I were teaching Cliff how to enhance his magic power little by little. I somehow realized it, but Cliff is still taking baby steps. "Even if he focuses on training that he didn't do before, it's impossible for him to miraculously awaken his magic power enhancement. I understand your thoughts, but among the first-year students, only he and I can enhance our magic power. And it's a bit strange to say this, but we are special. Even among the upperclassmen, there are seniors who still can't grasp it. If we rush too much, the magic circuit may be destroyed, and there may be even worse aftereffects... There's one more person now." Cliff interrupted my words in the middle. "Who's the other person?" "Someone who can enhance their magic power." Cliff pointed somewhere. It was clearly in the direction of the B-class dormitory. "Ludwig." What did he say? Who is this guy I don't know suddenly mooching off of us?
