The Darkness Was Comfortable for Me-Novel

Chapter 71: Training and Wrap Back

“Is training with your abilities something you do on your own? Doesn’t a teacher or something like that give you hints?” (Hikaru)

I have felt that using Revelation in actual battle is the best way to raise your abilities as a whole, but maybe there’s an even better training method.

The research of abilities in this world must be more advanced than what someone like me who just came to this world can bring out after all.

“No…they say that the inspiration you get with the Spirits comes from the qualities of the individual, so they don’t share much information about it. My little sister is a prodigy, and she obtained Photon Ray 1 month after her contract, so I didn’t think that it could be raised more efficiently depending on the method…” (Rifreya)

“Hmm, even though it is a world that relies this much on Spirit Abilities? There’s a view like that…?” (Hikaru)

“Maybe the Light Great Church was a bit special in that respect. How to say it…they are a bit confined.” (Rifreya)

According to Rifreya, there aren’t that many churches of the Great Light Spirit, and her homeland Siltion is a city that was built with a church in ‘a place where the Great Light Spirit was in before’.

It is different from this city where there’s 4 Great Spirits gathered and contracts are being made left and right… That’s basically how it is.

However, I kind of understand why ‘Revelation’ isn’t being given much attention.

If I were a proper warrior, I would most likely be using Shadow Bind the whole time.

“Well, whichever the case, let’s do what we can. There’s a limit of times you can use it in 1 day anyways.” (Hikaru)

“There’s an Orc there-nyan. What will you do?” (Grapefull)

“Defeat it and find another Ogre.” (Hikaru)

“Got it-nya.” (Grapefull)

Doing ability training on Orcs and Goblins feels lacking. Rifreya is so strong that it would just end up with a slaughter.

And so, we trained the Light Spirit Abilities of Rifreya with Ogres.

Rifreya can defeat an Ogre one on one. She is stronger than an Ogre even with just her raw strength. If Darkness Fog and Light were to be added to that equation, she can manage to defeat them in one hit.

Even by just basking them in Light without the use of Darkness Fog managed to stun the Ogres plenty well. It’s so strong that it is hard to believe it is on the same level as Dark Mist.

Light apparently has a strong attack ability called Photon Ray, and has healing abilities, so I feel like Light is a lot more directly effective compared to Darkness.

…Well, Darkness fits me well, so I don’t mind though.

“Haaah…Haah… It is really exhausting to use 5 of them…” (Rifreya)

Rifreya’s face was red and her breathing was rough.

For the people that haven’t obtained the Affection of Spirits, it looks like even using Spirit Abilities 5 times is pretty rough. I have already used Spirit Abilities more than 5 times before reaching the 3rd Floor, so the discrepancy in feelings here is on a whole other level.

I operate the Status Board in a way that the two don’t see it, use 3 Crystals, and buy a Spirit Energy Potion.

“Rifreya, drink this.” (Hikaru)

“What is this? Juice?” (Rifreya)

“Juice that recovers Spirit Energy.” (Hikaru)

Maybe because of how casually I gave it to her, she took it as a joke or something. Rifreya drank it in one gulp while she was laughing.

“Thank you very much. That was tast—wait, eh? Wa…? Why??” (Rifreya)

“The feverish feeling is drawing away, right?” (Hikaru)

“This was an actual Spirit Energy Potion?” (Rifreya)

“I said that, didn’t I?” (Hikaru)

“But a Spirit Energy Potion goes for as much as 5 silver coins.” (Rifreya)

“I had them by chance, so don’t worry.” (Hikaru)

It is more expensive than a Mid Potion?

1 for 5 silver coins is pretty high.

“Well then, let’s go down to the 3rd Floor and continue our training in Spirit Abilities, Rifreya.” (Hikaru)

“Eeeeh?! We are continuing? You are pretty strict, Hikaru.” (Rifreya)

“We don’t have that long after all. Gotta learn Photon Ray before that.” (Hikaru)

“S-So you were serious…” (Rifreya)

The viewers are watching. The more events the better.

Also, she is accompanying me here, so she should get her own merits.

I will get 1st place and bring Nanami back.

Rifreya will learn Photon Ray and will pass the Templar exam.

Grapefull can earn more than usual, and her Tier is increasing bit by bit.

Those small things won’t be able to serve as atonement for using them, but if they do think even if for a bit that they benefited from it as well, it will make me feel better.

In the 3rd Floor, by basking them with Light after Darkness Fog, most monsters would get heavily stunned.

2 Spirit Energy Potions, counting the ones she could use from the very beginning, for a total of 15 times. Her limit isn’t that high, so I don’t know if she will manage to acquire the 4th Ability in that time, but Rifreya herself is feeling the progress.

It might work out somehow.

And so, the hunt in the 3rd Floor continued for 3 days.

The Garden Panther didn’t show up in the end, but in terms of constant hunting, we earn more in the 2nd Floor.

I myself have been proactively defeating all monsters aside from Trolls, so my Tier must have increased. I think my body feels lighter and it is getting used to battle. Right now, I think I would be able to defeat Goblins and Orcs in the 2nd Floor without Spirit Abilities.

“So…Hikaru, tomorrow is a break, right? I will be going to the Great Spirit-sama to check my Tier and…whether I can use new abilities now.” (Rifreya)

“I see. Great Spirits can tell you. It would be great if you can use Photon Ray.” (Hikaru)

“Ahaha. There’s no way I can use it in only 3 days.” (Rifreya)

“Really?” (Hikaru)

The Spirit Users in this world don’t know if they have gotten a new ability, so they ask the Great Spirits closeby. They also ask for the Tier, so I am looking forward to the results.

I have the Status Board, so there’s obviously no need to go there to ask.

Even so, the Status Board is a cheat in itself. It has a clock, can set an alarm, and can get a world map function with 3 Points.

7 days left in the Viewer Count Race.

It has been exactly 1 week -meaning that already half of the event has passed.

I am far from 1st place.

Tomorrow…I will go down to the 4th Floor.
