Last Wish System Chapter 29
Advertisement
The lesson resumed, and Yale chose to ignore the teacher's words and instead asked the system, as Yale's schedule was too tight, and he didn't want to wait until the end of the classes to question the system.
Yale really wanted to know why the system suddenly told him about a new method for making a breakthrough in the Origin Path and also why if he already created the skill, those conditions weren't fulfilled, and the world's resonance hadn't happened.
[The easiest condition to make a breakthrough to reach the Origin Level 2 is master both a Magic Skill and a Battle Skill. The same effect can happen by mastering a Combined Skill. Creating an Origin Skill is more difficult, and without lucky encounters, no one at Origin Level 1 has chances to succeed. The system only informed the user about the last method when the user became able to do it.]
The system told the truth. Yale created the Origin Skill by fluke when he modified the Frost Claw, and Yale didn't know how he managed to do it either, that was a sudden inspiration. If Yale tried to create such a skill consciously, he would fail without any doubt.
[To trigger the world's resonance, the user needs to execute a skill that has never appeared in the world previously. Furthermore, the skill should be complete and not like the incomplete form the user used before. Even though the user successfully created the technique, the Origin Qi in the user's body was lacking to use the newly created Origin Skill in its most powerful form.]
Yale used all his Origin Points, and that wasn't enough to execute the real might of his own Origin Skill. Thus, perform the Origin Skill required using more than five Origin Points.
Then, Yale went to the Skill Menu to check the Water Battle Armor description and cost.
[Water Battle Armor Level 1: Uses water to create a malleable armor that can freely switch between liquid and solid state, it can take any possible form, including the shape of weapons. Water Element. Only usable by Origin Path practitioners. It requires 10 Origin Points. As a skill created by the user, this Origin Skill is mastered. The level improvement of this skill will rely on the user's insights.]
The limit at the 1-star mortal or Origin Level 1 was only ten Origin points, so to execute that skill required the Origin Qi in the body to be at the peak before using it to make a breakthrough.
Yale understood that when he created the improvised shield, it was limited by his lack of Origin Qi, but the outline of the new skill was successfully created.
At that moment, Yale already had the ten required points, so he only needed to execute it once, and he would become a 2-star mortal.

Yale was delighted with that as he was always worried about the three-month limit to reach the 2-star mortal, but the problem disappeared with the appearance of the Origin Skill. Yale could already make a breakthrough when he wanted.
As for being too quick in making the breakthrough, he didn't mind as he could explain that he almost mastered Water Hand due to a sudden inspiration in the previous incident. Having sudden insights in front of danger wasn't something unheard, and that would fit Yale's performance in the accident.
However, Yale didn't dare to make a breakthrough in the midst of a lesson and decided to advance to the 2-star stage in the training time he would have later with his master.
Thus, even if Yale weirdly advanced to the 2-star provoking the world's resonance, as long as he was with Swordmad, he believed that nothing wrong would happen to him.
After looking at the Water Battle Armor description, Yale went to verify his other new Skills.
[Underwater Breathing: Allows the user to breathe under the water.]
[Water Ball Level 1: Generates a ball of water. Water Element. It requires 1 Origin Point. Mastery at level 10.]
[Ice Spear Level 1: Create an ice spear that can be used to fight melee or to throw as a projectile. Water Element. It requires 1 Origin Point. Mastery at level 20.]
Those skills seemed unattractive when compared with the Water Battle Armor.
Underwater Breathing could be useful if someday Yale needed to stay underwater for a long time, but he didn't know when he would face such a situation.
Water Ball was a water element basic spell, the best point of such Magic Skill was its low cost and the fact that he could quickly create water to drink, it was a somewhat useful skill for survival.
Ice Spear didn't seem too useful to Yale as he didn't specialize in spears, but for only one Origin Point, a disposable weapon wasn't that bad.
After Yale finished checking the system, the lesson also ended, and the teacher and some students left while new students arrived to attend the next class.
That moment also marked the beginning of a new wave of rumors about Yale, but at that time, those rumors were good to him as they would rewrite any previous rumors about him.
Aizu also restored herself a bit and then spoke to Yale with a shy voice.
"Thank you for helping me before."
"You are welcome. There is no way I wouldn't help you if I can. If you still feeling bad because of the backlash at the end of the day, I can ask my sister to heal you."
"No... no need, it would be too embarrassing meeting her for that reason..."
Aizu's face became red after her first sentence, so Yale thought that she was still feeling bad.

Furthermore, Yale also suspected that Aizu was a fan of his sister. He thought that letting them meet would be good for Aizu's mood as she should be quite depressed after her failure in front of the whole class.
After all, it was thanks to Aizu losing the control of her spell that Yale managed to create an Origin Skill, so Yale felt grateful towards her.
"Moreover, aren't you the one who needs some healing? Even if the burns aren't serious, you are still burnt."
"Don't worry. I'm already alright."
Yale then showed his hand to Aizu, and that hand was already fully restored.
Aizu couldn't believe her eyes as there was no way such wounds would heal naturally in such a short time, the only explanation she found was that someone used healing magic on Yale's hands.
However, Aizu remained at Yale's side all the time after the accident, and she was sure that no one healed Yale; the only option was that Yale had used healing magic by himself.
"Can you use healing magic?"
Aizu thought about who Yale's sister was, and the fact that Yale could use healing magic became less weird.
Yale couldn't use healing magic. He could only heal himself with his Passive Skill, but that wasn't very different from using healing magic to oneself from an outsider's point of view.
"I'm only able to regenerate myself, so I'm not able to heal you, sorry. However, I was telling the truth I can help you to meet my sister, and she will heal you."
Yale thought that Aizu was asking him to heal her. Yale still had a long way before he would be able to understand other people well, he had a lonely life and too little contact with other kids of his age.
Aizu was astounded as she didn't know if Yale was kidding her, or he was really good-natured and only wanted to help her.
Even though Aizu thought that Yale was talented, she never expected that he could heal her. The basic spells for healing were the ones focused on treating oneself, and those spells should be the limit for the 1-star stage.
The fact that Yale was saying that he could only heal himself already showed a lot of talent, Aizu was going to reply to him when someone interrupted them.
"Yale, my friend, so you are also attending the Wind Element Class. Come, let's sit together. You, girl, can you change your seat with me? I want to speak to my friend for a while."
Yale had a strange face when he heard Zack's voice, he knew that Zack would attend at least one magic lesson, but Yale didn't expect that Zack would be so annoying just after entering the class.
"Sorry, Zack. She was injured in the last lesson, and I'm concerned about her, we can talk later."
Aizu's face became even redder when Yale said these words.
Yale was really concerned about Aizu, but he said those words to prevent that Zack distracted him all the class because Zack turned into a chatterbox when he didn't have a bow in his hand.
Zack looked at Aizu and then at Yale and a smile appeared on his face as if he had understood something.
"How rude of me. Don't worry, spent all the time you need with her. We can talk later."
Zack originally wanted to ask the girl on the other side if the first refused, but after seeing Yale with Aizu and misunderstanding the situation, he chose to go alone to the end of the classroom.
However, when he passed by Yale's side, Zack whispered to him while giving Yale a thumbs up.
"Good luck!"
Yale didn't understand why Zack wished him good luck, but as Zack was always speaking, Yale didn't overthink it.
Zack was a little precocious for his age and understood relations between both genders better than the majority of the boys his age.
He thought that there was some story between Yale and Aizu, and he didn't want to disturb his friend when wooing a girl.
Zack could be a chatterbox, but he wasn't a busybody when it comes to his friend's relationships.
"Who is he?"
Aizu had difficulties in processing Zack's quick speech without even knowing him and didn't know how to react.
"His name is Zack. I met him in the archery classes. He is really talented in archery."
"So, are you also attending archery lessons?"
"The truth is that I'm attending all the lessons, including archery."
Just as the rumors said, Yale was attending all the classes, but Aizu understood that if Zack had talent in archery and treated Yale as a friend after having met only once, there was no way Yale was terrible at archery.
The Wind Elemental Class was only slightly less popular than the fire one.
However, the wind element was the common element in which Yale had less affinity, only mid-low, so his affinity was below average.
Usually, with how many better talents Yale had, he wouldn't even bother to study the wind element, but he was very ambitious when it came to learn and train.
The lecture benefited Yale understanding of the wind, but he hadn't obtained any enlightenment or insight about wind spells.
A lot of students showed their wind spells, but surprisingly to Yale, the best spell was cast by Zack, and the difference between him and the second best one was huge.
The lesson finished without any problems, and the students started to prepare for the next lecture, the Water Element Class.

8 106The Samsara Dirge: Adventures in Post-Apocalyptic Broadcasting
It was not the apocalypse anyone expected. They called it the Changes. (Which might sound boring, though it was no such thing!) During this time, reality itself was suspended. Anything could happen, and often did. Who could have anticipated flying turtles, lighter than air futons, the appearance of the color slurkle, or the eradication of differential calculus? After a year and a half of such wonders, it all stopped. The world was not the same, nor the people in it. Why had it happened and how did it end? Would it return? No one knew. Silverio Moreno, irrepressibly optimistic host of one of the most popular post-apocalyptic gameshows, wants answers. And the truth might just bring in his highest ratings yet!
8 499A Fate Shaped by Magick
This fiction was (and is) published on fanfiction dot net under the same title; though as I slowly transfer it to here, I am editing and smoothing it. This story takes place in the Elder Scrolls (TES) Universe mostly ending up in Morrowind. This is a slice of life meant to answer the questions of how (in the TES universe) do mages study and learn, and exploring some of the in-game differences between TES 2 and 3. This book has minimal spoilers for the Morrowind main quest and does not fully explore it. If you think that giant insects would make cool pets - if you like the idea of exploring magic NOT intended simply as killing something better, faster or more gore-ridden, then come on in and enjoy.
