Kyle traveled back to the Stark Brotherhood and talked to his team about their future plans.
"Great, you advanced," Falk said with annoyance. "That means I have to spend a ton of money now to advance as well."
Michael just smiled. "I think we have been in the Early Second Realm for long enough."
"Are you sure?" Falk asked. "I mean, Fighters usually stay in the Early Second Realm for a couple of years to gain experience. Aren't we being a little too quick with that?"
"They are not us," Michael said. "We are only fighting enemies two levels above us, while they focus on enemies one level higher. We go through much more adversity than they do. Naturally, we will grow faster."
"I'm quite happy with advancing. As a Mid Sorcerer, I can finally learn Lightning's Explosiveness."
"You're dabbling in Enchantments as well?" Selene asked, disguised as Sven.
"Why not?" Michael asked. "We have three powerful physical fighters."
"I'm not a Fighter," Selene said.
"I meant fighter with the small f," Michael said with a chuckle.
"Oh," Selen said with a nod. "I can see how Lightning's Explosiveness can increase the power of my arrows."
Lightning's Explosiveness was an Enchantment of the Lightning Element.
It had the power to coat a weapon with Lightning Ether. The Lightning Ether would remain dormant until it came into contact with Ether that had a will.
This meant that everyone could still fight normally, but as soon as their weapons hit the enemy, the Lightning Ether would explode forward, shooting into the target.
Compared to other Enchantments, it didn't passively increase someone's attributes. Instead, it would be more fitting to call it a dormant offensive Spell.
If Michael could enchant one of Selene's arrows, she could essentially summon a Lightning Bolt inside her enemy's body.
"I've waited for long enough," Lily commented with annoyance.
"Then, we are going to focus on advancing," Kyle said. "Everyone, take your time to advance, but don't let us keep waiting for too long."
The others nodded.
"How long do you need?" Kyle asked.
"A day," Selene said.
"I also need a day," Michael answered.
"Why are you all so fast? I need three days," Falk said.
"Because we actually care about our power," Lily said with annoyance. "I'll need six hours."
Falk just rolled his eyes at Lily's usual aggression.
"Then, we'll meet again in four days," Kyle said. "Does that sound good enough?"
Everyone agreed and dispersed. Advancing a level was hard and easy at the same time.
It was almost entirely about money.
Someone who had just become an Initial Adept could theoretically become a Grandmaster within about a year.
They just needed a lot of money.
Of course, such a Grandmaster would be quite weak.
They had no experience, knew no techniques, and wouldn't even know how to control their powerful body.
It would also be surprisingly hard for them to learn powerful techniques.
Technically, their mind was more powerful than the mind of a Fighter, but they hadn't had experience in learning difficult techniques.
It was like somebody learning all the theoretical knowledge of creating machinery without even a bit of practical experience.
Someone who knew almost nothing about theory but made machinery for years could make better machines.
The best way was to teach theory for a bit before teaching practice. Then, back to theory, back to practice, back to theory, back to practice, and so on.
People generally advanced slowly so that they could get used to their elevated power and learn more things.
As explained, advancing was relatively easy, but it was also relatively hard. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
