Quash looked at his status window with a contemplating look. His stats increase has become normal again. But looking at the new Fusion Available icon beside the two fundamental skills, he was forced to think of what to do.
Firstly, when two compatible skills reach same level in Proficiency, they xan be fused.
Secondly, to fuse a skill, on needs to go to a church , touch a crystal ball called Skill Tree Orb, access the available fused path, then chose it and boom.
But doing so requires money. The churches make people pay in the name of donations. Now why would such a thing be under churches control? Well, it is not. Those crystal balls are dug out from ancient ruins. And long times ago, the church declared them Divine Gift and claimed any Dkill Tree Ord that was dug out.
But they aren’t the only ones that have them. Academy City has many of those. Saffron Fruma makes sure everyone gets a chance to shine. And that old man is someone very few in the world dares to lock eyes with a bad intent. So even if the churches don’t like it because their income is being hampered, they cannot do anything in front of absolute strength.
Call the Headmaster a heretic? Who is going to face that monster?
Them?
They won’t even know how, when and where they died. So Quash decided to not go to the church to Fuse, even if the skill may not be fusible later because of the Proficiency disharmony.
With the decision made, he focused fully on the two opponents he was facing. They couldn’t see the status window because Quash didn’t want them to see.
The status window can be shown to others or hidden from others, like now, at will. There are skills that pray on the information without the person knowing, but that’s besides the point.
The two gym bros have noticed that Quash has been checking out his status window mid fight but they dare not complained because despite that, they were the one’s that was getting beaten instead! His multitasking ability was insane!
After all while, everyone stopped to take some rest. Quash did so too. But he wasn’t as tired as others and he also recovered very quickly because of his Aura Charged Condition.
He looked at the beaten and brushed gym bros and felt that their recovery rate was very inefficient. They were wasting valuable time on recovery when they could thrive for more. Like him.
His Endurance stats experienced the highest growth in the past three days because he was getting beaten up, he was getting tired from training. But recently, he felt it was getting inefficient as well. His skill growth has stagnated. His state growth has slowed down.
He needed to push himself harder. He looked at his weights and decided to put them on while sparing from now on. And he needed to buy more weights. This was clearly not enough.
After the gym bros had rested enough, they resumed their training. He was up against two completely new gym bros from the previous pairs. He rotats between partners for two reason.
One, to make sure everyone is progressing and he could keep tap on them.
Two, everyone has their own unique way of doing thing, he wanted to experience that and improve if anything catches his eyes.
He had learned many things so far. His but again, his skill has stagnated. He couldn’t apply them in a tough situation where the limits of his skills will be tested, resulting on his Proficiency going up and skill leveling up.
Quash with his weight on, faced significant hardship and was also punched few times. He was by any means an enjoyed of pain. But to gain something, one needs to lose something. Losing his comfort for power doesn’t sound so bad. And besides, he doesn’t get hurt that often. The increase was from his stamina increasing and in turn, increasing Endurance.
The training for today was done. Everyone was packing their things and were about to leave. Quash didn’t have much stuff on him. So he just waited for everyone to finish and they will walk out of the park together. And he also needed to tell them something.
Quash looked around and found many still training in groups. But the amount of times those said groups circled around them has noticeably increased. He could feel their histation to join in but the obligation of their own group keeping them at bay.
He never told anyone not to join. Anyone can join as long as thy were reasonable person and didn’t cause trouble for others.
But since they weren’t joining, it was up to them. He wouldn’t go out of his way to invite anyone. The amount of people with cameras have also increased. They have made it to local news as well for their discipline. Some where eve interviewed by influencers in exchange for some money.
That was why the other groups were behaving like that.
Quash didn’t really care. He just needed sparing partner. The gym bros were done packing things and ready to go.
Quash walked with them and told them their latest problem. Their recovery rate. He also told them about Aura Charged Condition and how to achieve it. He also said that if they could bring their Aura to a saturated state, there are very high chance that they will be able to experience Impurity Expulsion as well.
The gym bros were baffled and shocked beyond words because never in their life have they heard someone casually say they just needs to move their Aura to 70 cycles per second.
Seeing their baffled state, he also told them the trick. Pull the Aura instead of push.
