As I sat in my room, pondering what to do now that I'm here, I thought to myself, "what was that voice? How can I talk to It again? Is there even a way to talk to It?"
After I had these thoughts, I heard that same voice when I was dying. It spoke back, responding to my thoughts, [ I am your Skill ]
Skill? What skill?
I thought to myself again, and questioned the voice.
[ I am your Unique Skill ]
[ I have been by your side from the beginning ]
[ But I could not speak to you because of the conditions for my complete activation ]
[ The conditions prevented me ]
[ I could not make contact with you unless the condition had been fulfilled ]
[ Forgive me ]
Unique Skill? But, I heard that only a few people possess a Unique Skill. And you're saying that I have one of those Unique Skills?
I thought to myself and asked my skill. My skill could talk to me directly or telepathically.
[ Yes ]
[ I am your Unique Skill: Wisdom ]
Okay, wisdom. What can you do?
I asked, questioning the capabilities of my skill Wisdom.
[ I am Wisdom ]
[ I possess knowledge of everything ]
Well, given your name, I kind of figured it was going to be something like that.
I said, after confirming my question of Wisdom's capabilities.
Wisdom, how can you help me with my current situation?
I said, waiting for a response from wisdom.
[ What would you like me to do ]
How can I increase the amount of mana I possess?
I asked, hoping I would get something useful that will help me in increasing my mana level.
[ There are several methods of increasing one's mana level ]
[ What method would you like to know ]
Tell me of a method that will allow me to increase my mana levels in 3-4 days if possible.
I said, my expression serious.
[ Consuming mana potions is the easiest way to increase one's mana level ]
[ However, how much one's mana level increases is dependent on their own abilities ]
[ And the mana potions can only help so much ]
[ If you must increase your mana level in a few day's time, then using mana potions is the best option at the moment ]
[ There is a 30% chance of side effects by using this method ]
[ Your previous body was a lot weaker ]
[ If you had used the mana potions method with your previous body, you would surely have suffered greatly from the side effects ]
[ However, there is nothing for you to worry, because I rebuilt your body to be 5x stronger than it was before ]
Oh. I didn't know that you… oh, wait, I remember now, my body being regenerated from nothing. So that was also you, huh, rebuilding my body in the void. I was a little skeptical at first, but after everything that happened, I believe you.
I said, with an intriguing expression as I listened to everything Wisdom spoke.
[ Affirmative ]
I've been wanting to ask this for a while now, tell me, what was the conditions for your activation?
I asked, wanting to know about the condition activation for Wisdom.
[ "Throw it all away" ]
[ It required you to live a life of regret and ultimately killing yourself ]
[ And upon your death, I would awaken completely ]
[ That was the condition for my complete activation ]
[ Without the condition being fulfilled, I would not have been able to interact with you ]
Are you, right now, by chance… happy?
I asked, feeling something in Wisdom's voice.
[ I am… happy? ]
[ I am not sure ]
[ I do not feel emotions or have feelings, so I can not say what this is ]
After hearing Wisdom say that It doesn't have emotions or feelings, I didn't know what to say, so I kept quiet, not saying a single word. This was the first time that I heard of such as Unique Skill, a Unique Skill that can talk, a Unique Skill that had knowledge of any, and everything, a Unique Skill with intelligence, a Unique Skill with it's own consciousness, yet It didn't understand emotions. I couldn't say anything, I stared blankly through my window, thinking of a response, but all I could think of was… nothing. I sat in my room, staring blankly in the distance, wondering, "should I feel empathy, sympathy, pity of It? I don't know. Would It even understand that I feel It's lack of emotions? It's lack of feelings? Would It even be right for me to say it in the first place? I don't know." Wisdom was a Unique Skill among Unique. No one had heard of such a Unique Skill, and that Unique Skill was mine, and I didn't know what to do about It not being able to feel emotions or have feelings. It was helping me, but I didn't know how I could help It.
Let's talk about that later, Wisdom.
Like any other person, if they were in my shoes at that time, I avoided that conversation for the time being, and proceeded with my mana level increase topic.
Anyway, how are we supposed to get the mana potions? It costs a small fortune to even be able to afford it. My family isn't rich, so I can't ask them for money. Let's just cross the mana potion idea, and tell me some other way that'll help me increase my mana level, even if it's hard, tell me, and I'll do it.
I said, my expression serious. I was prepared to do anything it took in order to get accepted in the Scythes Academy.
[ Why not make it yourself ]
Huh?
I questioned, not knowing what Wisdom meant.
[ You can make mana potions yourself ]
Wisdom's answer surprised me. I had nearly forgotten that Wisdom's name was Wisdom for a reason.
[ I am Wisdom ]
[ I will tell you everything you need to know to make a mana potion ]
Alright! Let's begin making mana potions so I can increase my mana level, and get accepted in the Scythes Academy!
I said, with a determined mind, and expression, my eyes filled with desire, I could see the light in the darkness. However, this task was not going to be as easy as it seemed.
Wisdom began telling me what ingredients were needed in order to make a mana potion. The ingredients were medicinal herbs, crystallized mana, magic stones, and blood of a Wormhole Portal monster.
