Mike Knowledge: 56 - 15 Knowledge = 41

---

Despite being a transfer student at Gekkoukan and not getting all of the instruction in the class Mike was doing pretty well in understanding the lessons of the first part of his school day. In his class though there was one empty seat as apparently one student skipped today apparently, this seat being the seat in the back corner by the window, or in anime the 'main character' seat, Mike's own seat being a bit in the middle. If Mike asked who sat there (Which ill leave up to you Card), he would find out that a strange boy white haired boy who acts cold to others sat there, that boy's name being Ren, meaning that the two were in the same class, but Ren was skipping school today.

In the middle of the class before the lunch break Mike would receive the following PM from Ren.

PM

From: Ren Hitori

I have discovered that it is possible to learn new Talents as well, giving access to who knows how many more possibilities and abilities for the Gamer Power. Keep your eyes peeled for any suspicious looking or cool books. You can tell a book is a Skill Book the moment you touch it. While yes they could give you a new Skill, they could also give you a new Talent as well. Just don't use a Skill Book in public... as the book vanishes in a rather conspicuous way when you use it.

At lunch break a second year entered the room to come in and give a message to one of the first years. He was in a Gekkoukan uniform, like all other students, but had a arm band on that said "Student Morals Committee." The most interesting thing about him though, aside from the very serious look on his face, was what was above his head. "Keiichi Ishimaru Lv 24" was his name and level. Above that though was an interesting class. "Ukiha Kamikaze Ryuu Practitioner" (or Ukiha Kamikaze Sword Style Practitioner for you english folk). After delivering his message, which was something about keeping their uniform in order as that student was famous for not doing so, he left, walking out and heading back to the second year classrooms, which were on the second floor.

Its not really fair if Mike doesn't get anything special just cause he is in school. So ill make a post for Mike.

The Gamers (A Videogame Themed RP) (Reboot)

The Gamers (A Videogame Themed RP) (Reboot)

XD

And yea, ill go ahead and post for Val. Genji will give her and Silas free weapons (still waiting for someone to ask about the damned book already).

Lucian looked above his head and then said something about him being in Artifcer, then he looked at Ren. "So that's what you meant by seeing my class... a power that lets you gather the basic skill set and strength of an enemy with just a glance is quite useful." He then looked back to Lucian, listening to his question about an alarm device. He thought for a few moments then shook his head. "As an Artificer I make magical items. I usually stay away from magical weapons, but enchanting rings, amulets, and other miscellanious objects with magical affects is something I am rather good at as my own Natural Ability lets me... skip a few steps in the enchanting process that cuts down alot on both cost and time. I'd explain more, but unless you understand magic you wouldn't get it..."

"An alarm item could be created, but if its Hunters they usually use a special kind of Pseudospace known as a Capture Space. Its really big, around five hundred meters, and is impossible to escape unless you are more powerful than them. Of course they have to be near you first, or so I have heard. Unfortunately though I lack the spells for knowing how to create an alarm type Item that doesn't require a magical field to be set up and is always active. For instance my own ring is connected to an artifact that creates a small field at the entrance of this store, but it is stationary and has to remain in a magic field in order to work. Its... really complicated actually and hard to explain to those who don't know how magic works. I may be several years more experienced than you all, but that's only several years."

Saito then sighed, feeling kind of bad now, but then he shook his head. "Ill tell you what though. I usually let customers test products before they buy them, but you guys can't do that, so ill let you" he pointed to Ren "test your black magic here in my lab and you" he pointed to Lucian "grind in my own special Pseudospace area until you get two levels and can learn that book. Ill let you guys stay here for just for a couple of hours though as I have to get ready for a meeting with someone then and need the store to be vacant of others."

"Uh... thanks..." Ren was taken aback that Saito was being so generous despite not wanting to help.

"Don't look too far into it. You guys are customers, so I am giving you everything you need to make sure you guys can use your products. After all, for both of our safeties, its best if that's all we remain right now. Customer and shop owner. Now cmon, lets go to the basement." Saito pressed a spot on the side of a book shelf that was against the back wall and muttered something beneath his breath. A small, blue magic circle appeared on the spot he pressed and the shelf slid to the side, revealing a door behind it, which wasn't there before since the shelf had no back. "Ren, this door is for you. Do you... need any help preparing anything or instructions on how to---"

Ren shook his head. "No, I know everything on how to perform and create the rituals"

Saito blinked his eyes a few times in surprise. "Sheesh... that's broken if you can learn things like that, things that would take others years to learn, in just a moment." Saito opened the door, revealing what appeared to be a lab of sorts indeed. Shelves and tables cluttered with scrolls, bottles of substances, and other various things of an arcane nature littered the room. "The ritual room is in that door to the back. Feel free to grab whatever you need for your ritual, as this will be my bonus to you for you not getting to test this beforehand."

Ren nodded and went into the lab room, Saito closing the door after watching him look around the shelves for a few moments. Then he clenched the door knob tightly, muttering something beneath his breath, and he opened the door after it glowed for just a moment. Before them a large field of grass with a blue sky above appeared. "This special space was given to me at the generosity of the Abyss Auction. Makes it easier for me to practice magic and test my products out on the elementals created here via Pseudospace." He gestured for Lucian to follow him inside. The door on the other side just appeared to be there, not attached to a wall anything, and then it closed. "Don't worry, its not locked. Anyway ill try and help you grind however I can, cause I kind of want to see how this works."

He raised his hand to the sky, his ring glowing for a moment. The familiar feeling of a Pseudospace appeared and in the field before them, the area being very large, were alot of strange looking creatures. Their bodies appeared to look like swirling spheres of wind. There were more than dozens of them, but spread out all over, like how one would see mob creatures in a field in any other RPG game. Above their heads in red text were 'Minor Air Elemental, Lv 9'. "Well, here we are. The weakest kind of air elemental. Let me ask you though do you know any magical or mana based attacks? Because regular weapons will have a harder time taking affect on these creatures... also... your friend back there mentioned a Friends List. Most games that have that also have a Party function... do you think you could invite me to it? I'd like to see how it works."

FYI, Hunters will probably not attack today (unless you guys get a really shitty encounter roll, yes those are things, I do them in secret to determine what you all encounter when walking around) as that would be cliche and stupid. Today is making allies and learning more about the supernatural world day (and getting some basic training from them).

Tomorrow though in game...

The Gamers (A Videogame Themed RP) (Reboot)

Alright. Ill post for Val soon to, replying to that post ^^

The Gamers (A Videogame Themed RP) (Reboot)

Needin posts ^^

The Gamers (A Videogame Themed RP) (Reboot)

Yep, its mostly for Lucian and Ren though. But it does reveal that yes, you guys can unlock new Talents. And also from both groups we learned that the Gamer power is broken bull shit XD

Unfortunately, as Ren figured, he tried but could not learn from the Demonology book. Still he decided to put it into his inventory now, hanging onto it for later. Having demons as summons to shield him would be very helpful. Plus knowing warlock magic also sounded interesting, accepting that as his second book of choice.

When Lucian used the Observe Skill on the book the following text would appear in a window.

Window

Rituals for Communing with Nature for Morons
Base Item: Book
Rank: Somewhat Special

A Skill Book that teaches the Talent Skill, Basic Nature Power Rituals, which will allow the user to perform various rituals of power to commune with the forces of nature.

It was unclear what Talent Skill meant at first, but with a little thought...

It took you a bit longer than it should have, but an idea came to you. A Talent Skill could be what unlocks a new Talent, a Skill that gives you access to a new Talent. It was only a thought though. Still, it was something useful to think about, in that this book could give you access to not just a new Skill, but instead a whole new Talent.

As Saito heard Lucian talk about what happened he nodded, a small smirk appearing on his face after a few moments, but it only lasted for a moment before his expression grew a bit more serious. "It seems that I have discovered your power's one weakness. Most Natural Abilities start off strong or already useful, but not yours. It has unlimited potential for growth it seems if you can just learn anything without limits on how much you can learn, but time is required. Time to grind to level up, as I assume you can do that from what Ren here told me, time to learn new Skills that are out of your reach, and other such things. Essentially time is your weakness since you have unlimited potential, but not enough time to employ everything, and like game characters you could mess up and end up wasting alot of time..."

Ren's eyes widened as Saito said this. He had never thought of that before. Indeed even if their power could let them do so much there was only so much time in the day to grind or test and learn new Skills. Even shopping for weapons, grinding for new ingredients, or other such things would take time and who knew how much longer until the Hunters or whoever was after them attacked..."Yea... alot of effort and time..." Ren said in response to Lucian's last statement about putting effort into these things.
