Lott nodded and continued, "Isn't there a reason I can accept?"

"You really want to hear it?" Chloris's voice suddenly softened. "Then you're not allowed to laugh at me."

"You don't actually like me, do you?"

"No, that's not it!" Chloris glared at Lotte, then continued softly, "You have this ability, I just... I think you're amazing. If you're willing to be with me, I will... I will..."

Under Lotte's gaze, Chloris blushed and bit her lip, finally managing to say it with great effort:

“I would be very happy.”

She continued, "Now that I know your abilities, I could easily keep it from you, but I don't think that would be right. So, I'll tell you and you can make the decision. Whether you stay with me or not, at least we'll be a little more honest with each other."

Her voice grew softer and softer until Lott could no longer hear her: "Besides, you learned this magic for our sake, so it's only right that I help you..."

Lotte asked, "Then when will you be able to become a high-level warrior?"

"I feel it'll be soon. It should be in about a month."

"Speaking of which, what are the requirements for a soldier to advance in rank?"

"It focuses on combat skills and also requires physical attributes."

Lott felt there should be enough time.

With Chloris and her team working hard to defeat some monsters and earn more money, they might be able to master the magic of the mage from the city before Fafnya's deduction world begins.

But is this really a good idea?

He obtained magic from Chloris, then practiced in Fafnya's Deduction World, and finally went to save Isolde in the Deduction World.

Lott felt something was off.

"Then let's go tomorrow and try to get it done for you within half a month. At the same time, I will still collect other people's magic."

A smile appeared on Chloris's face. "You agreed? That's great! I was worried you would refuse me."

"I'm worried that you'll have your family arrest me and take me back."

“We are a family of warriors, why would we capture you? Besides, this is your ability, there's nothing for us to gain from taking you back.”

The next morning, Lotte and Chloris headed to the Adventurers' Guild.

Lotte also wanted to test just how strong his 40 points of arcane attribute really were.

As they stood in the forest, facing a giant lizard of the second-level ferocious beast class named [Bartos], Lotte sensed something was amiss.

The good news is that my 40 points in Arcane attribute are indeed very strong.

The bad news is, it's a bit too strong.

So powerful that Chloris couldn't get involved at all.

There's nothing wrong with using the fireball spell to roast Chloris's white socks in Chapter 85.

“Lotte, you…”

The five-meter-long lizard had been roasted black by the [Fireball] spell, and a strange meaty aroma filled the air.

On this lovely green meadow, Miss Chloris, dressed in cloth armor, looked at Lotte behind her with surprise. "What is this?"

"Fireball spell."

"Is it the fireball spell used to defeat the Mist Bear Spirit?"

"Yes."

“But, but,” Chloris drew a small circle in the air with her hands, “but shouldn’t a fireball be this size? Yours was many times bigger than this.”

Chloris couldn't understand why Lotte's magic power had increased so rapidly in just two weeks.

It's so fast that it can no longer be explained by common sense.

Moreover, Lott has hardly gone out to hunt any monsters these days, spending his time helping out in the [3,000 gold coins] every day.

Lotte walked over to the lizard, squatted down, squinted, and reached into the scorching lizard's body. He groped around in its sticky internal organs for a long time before finally pulling out a crystal core.

He walked to the stream and washed the contents clean before putting them into his waist bag.

I've got 10 silver coins.

This monster is a level 2 [Ferocious Beast] from the Elf Territory, with a level of approximately 10-20. It is completely different from the level 1 [Beast] in Fengen Town, and even has a crystal core inside its body.

These magical crystal cores can fetch a good price in the Mage Guild, so there are quite a few requests for them.

In the battle just now, Chloris defended and dodged in front, while Lotte continuously used [Fireball] from behind.

With 30 points of Spirit, Lotte wasn't worried about running out of magic power. He kept throwing fireballs at the monsters with a 40-point Arcane bonus.

If Loth only has 10 points in Arcane, he will hide behind his teammates and occasionally cast a Fireball.

If he has 20 points in Arcane, his teammates will acknowledge his importance, tactical resources will be allocated to him, and they will work together to kill monsters with his damage.

If he has 40 points in arcane magic, then there's no point in discussing tactics. Just revolve around him and hope that Loth will throw spells to kill him.

In this combat mode, casualties are reduced to an extremely low level, which is why everyone loves to team up with mages.

They don't need to rush to the monsters to fight to the death; they only need to hold them off while the mage is chanting.

But this is not good news for Chloris, as she has no way to get any exercise in this mode.

Chloris also went to the riverbank. She took off her boots and white socks and put them in the river to wash away the blood that was soaking on the socks.

She walked barefoot on the hard stones, making her soft, pink breasts stand out even more.

Lotte stared at her feet for a moment before shifting his gaze to her face. "Chloris, did the fight just now help you?"

“No.” Chloris shook her head, wrung out the white socks, and handed them to Lotte.

"What?"

"Lord Lotte, could you use a fireball spell to dry me out?"

"My fireball spell isn't for that."

"What does it matter? You have almost no magic power anyway."

Chloris could guess that Lotte possessed the ability to learn someone's magic with just a glance, but she couldn't possibly guess where Lotte's infinite magic power and rapid progress came from.

Lotte picked up his staff and cast a fireball.

The flames made the white socks sizzle, and the moisture quickly turned into mist, drifting into the air.

Chloris rubbed the socks, feeling that they were very fluffy, as if they had been exposed to the sun all afternoon.

As she put on her clothes, she said to Lotte, "But don't worry too much about me. There's no need to rush becoming a high-level warrior. Just take it slow."

“That won’t do.” Lott shook his head. “The most important thing right now is for you to become stronger quickly. I’m secondary. You are the most important.”

Lotte needs to learn magic before Fafnya's predicted world arrives; time is of the essence and the task is urgent.

Chloris stopped putting on her socks and stole a glance at Lott, who was looking very serious, through her light blonde hair.

Through last night's information exchange, she is the only one who knows Lotte's secret.

But Lott also learned of her hidden secret, and was the only person her age who knew it.

Perhaps because they both knew each other's secrets, Chloris felt a strange, indescribable emotion.

She continued putting on her socks with her head down, then said, "If I want to improve my strength as soon as possible, I need to improve my [Reinhardt Holy Shield]. I need to engage in actual combat with monsters and kill them."

What is your current proficiency level?

Level 1.

Lott blurted out instinctively, "Only level one?"

His Valgard Swordsmanship is already at level two, and even his Oath Keeper is at level two.

“Mr. Lott, why do I hear disdain coming from your mouth?”

"No no."

Chloris sighed, "Once my proficiency reaches level two, I can change my class to a second-tier warrior. Our Reinhardt family's unique class is the Holy Shield Knight. I'm almost at level two proficiency."

"A soldier's promotion mainly depends on combat skills?"

"Yes. During training, a warrior's physique and strength will also increase as their proficiency in combat skills improves. Warriors are usually profoundly changed by combat skills."

Compared to the various rules and regulations for mages, the path to advancement for warriors is much simpler.

This is why most adventurers in places like Maple's Town are warriors, since picking up a sword is all it takes to become a profession.

Perhaps sensing Lotte's thoughts, Chloris continued, "But most warriors don't have a high ceiling. The vast majority of adventurers only stay at the second tier [elite level], and very few break through to the third tier."

"Why? Isn't it enough to just practice until you reach level three in proficiency?"

"Unlike magic, not every combat skill has a level 5 proficiency. Most basic combat skills, such as [Downward Slash] and [Upward Slash], only have a level 1 proficiency cap, which are also called [Awakening Level] combat skills based on class level. Most adventurers in Fengen Town are in this range."

Chloris raised the spear in her hand, "Only combat skills like [Reinhardt's Holy Shield] have a level six proficiency cap and are called [Legendary] combat skills."

The higher the skill's potential, the harder it is to obtain and practice. Most people's potential is limited to the second-tier profession [Elite level], and reaching the third-tier [Master level] is already considered very successful.

"If I practice until I reach level six proficiency, will I be able to become a [Legendary]?"

"It's not just about proficiency in combat skills; physical fitness and strength are also required. I need to use [Reinhardt's Holy Shield] for extra training, otherwise I won't be able to change classes based on combat skills alone. Other warriors even have to learn a lot of combat skills to meet the necessary attribute requirements. Warriors aren't like mages; their training is usually very tough."
