Chapter 64: A Miracle Exclusive to Izay

“Too slow, Izay.”

“And letting a girl wait isn’t something a guy should do.”

As Izay opened the door, the Tiona and Tione sisters naturally walked into the room, curiously looked around for a bit, then sat down by Izay’s desk.

“H-hold on, sorry for disturbing…”

“Sorry for disturbing.”

Following closely after were Refia and Ais.

“I was still sleeping, who would’ve known someone would come so early…”

Yawning, Izay instinctively responded.

After a moment, he froze.

Wait… do you really have to make yourselves so at home entering my room?

Someone who doesn’t know would think I’m the visitor here.

“Sorry sorry, did we bother you?”

Hearing Izay’s words, Tiona clasped her hands together in apology.

They had already agreed to ask about Izay’s power improvement today, but coming over so early was a last-minute decision.

They didn’t expect that even with the sun up high, Izay was still asleep.

Isn’t it supposed to be normal for adventurers to go to bed early and wake up early?

Loki always says self-discipline is what makes you stronger…

“Not really, just my plan for a lazy morning got ruined…”

Facing their apologies, Izay shook his head, not intending to dwell on such trivial matters.

Tiona’s thoughts were much simpler; seeing Izay wasn’t mad about her waking him up, she casually leaned back in her chair and directly asked:

“Hey hey, Izay~ Can you tell us how you got stronger? How did you manage to get strong so quickly?”

Looking at Tiona’s straightforward smile asking questions, and the three pairs of curious eyes beside her, Izay instantly understood.

He immediately grasped why they came to him so early in the morning.

It was undoubtedly curiosity about his extraordinary growth speed, wanting to figure out the reason behind it.

Blinking, Izay thought for a moment before replying:

“Well, it’s not like it’s some secret. It’s not that I have some method to get strong quickly. Ultimately, it’s because of the magic and skills I personally possess.”

“Magic and skills?”

Since they’re all companions from the same faction, and they are core members as officers, they’d eventually find out anyway after spending time together.

With this thought, Izay briefly explained.

“I have an additional magic that boosts all ability values, and a rare skill that accelerates growth. That’s why I can grow so fast.”

‘Silver Starfall’ is the powerful magic Izay relies on to challenge higher levels and break through tough situations.

‘Celestial Favor’ is the fundamental reason why he has grown so quickly.

As for methods to get stronger…

Izay hasn’t used any of those things.

“Skill to accelerate growth? That’s too unfair! Something like that…”

Upon hearing Izay’s direct reply, Tione fell into a state of doubting life.

She initially thought Izay’s strength increase was due to finding some special method, and she even harbored expectations.

But now, being told there’s no special method, just natural talent that can’t be replicated…

Her mindset cracked instantly.

“That’s right! Never heard of such an unfair skill!”

The little fairy Refia couldn’t help but nod in agreement with Tione’s statement.

Personal magic and skills could be considered one’s personal miracle.

In other words, Izay’s growth falls under the category of non-replicable.

“Just because you haven’t heard of it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist~”

“That… is indeed true…”

At this point, Ais, who had been silent the whole time, slightly parted her cherry-colored lips but couldn’t utter a word.

A hint of disappointment flickered in her golden eyes.

She received the answer to her question from Izay, but it wasn’t the answer she wanted.

“Eh… So Izay, the reason you can get strong so quickly isn’t because you have some special method to get stronger, but just because you have this exclusive trait that allows rapid growth? I was so excited at first…”

Tiona understood the situation, muttering unhappily.

This result seems like it won’t help Ais…

“Methods to get stronger? Maybe I do know something~”

“!!!”

Instantly, Izay’s one sentence drew the attention of the four girls again, transforming their previously somewhat helpless and lost attitudes into anticipation.

“Really!?”

“Can’t guarantee, it’s just my personal guess.”

“But that’s fine, Izay, tell us what it is!”

Sitting on his bed, Izay glanced at the four girls, who looked like serious students seeking answers from a teacher, and didn’t hold back.

“As far as I know, the five basic ability values of adventurers improve through training or combat experience, gaining proficiency based on earned experience points. The more frequently a certain area is exercised, the more prominent its proficiency and evaluation will naturally become.”

“The acquisition and accumulation of experience points are related to the strength of the opponent and the difficulty of the situation. The stronger the opponent defeated or the greater the difficulty overcome, the more experience points accumulated.”

“This means that when facing enemies in combat, the amount of experience points gained is actually judged based on one’s own circumstances.”

Izay delivered a long explanation, trying to make the four understand the principle.

However, it was utterly useless.

Tiona and Tione nodded frequently while listening to him, “Mm, mm, mmm…” but it was clear they didn’t understand a thing.

Ais tilted her head cutely, revealing a puzzled expression on her emotionless face.

Only Refia slightly nodded, deep in thought, feeling that what Izay said seemed familiar from somewhere.

A few seconds later, the little fairy recalled.

Isn’t this the explanation gods have given adventurers for centuries regarding basic abilities and great deeds’ experience points?

It’s written in books…

But what does this have to do with getting stronger?

Taking in the appearances of the four, Izay sighed. He shouldn’t expect them to understand. This kind of thing might only be discussed in detail with Finn and Riviria.

It’s unrelated to strength, purely a difference in perspective.

“You came to ask me this question. If I’m not mistaken, Ais, Tiona, and Tione, your basic abilities have already shown significant slowing in improvement, right?”

“Every time except after expeditions, exploring the dungeon doesn’t update your ability values much, does it?”

Estimating that the three’s basic abilities have probably reached D-level or above.

Once an adventurer’s ability values break through D-level, which is 500 points, the growth rate slows significantly.

At this point, the minimum requirement for leveling up is met, and the bottleneck of that level is also entered.

To continue improving is very difficult, especially aiming for S-level.

Unless one has truly exceptional personal talent or racial advantages, reaching the limit is unlikely.
