BXBX NOVEL Chapter 71 Something Bizarre
My skin cladded in red wine color, nails longer than what I had as an elder Goblin, palms big enough to have its maximum holding capacity as a water bottle, and I think I also have a long horn on my forehead.
\'Oracle, you mind explaining what it is that is going on with me.....\'
[I told you master, I rebuilt your body in other for it to withstan.....]
\'no, no, no. You and I both know that isn\'t what I am asking\'.
\'why, why is it that my body has returned to being that of a kid....\'
[master.....].
He called out to me with its usual voice, but to me it felt like it was trying to dodge the question.
\'don\'t master me, just answer me on what you did to my body that reversed my growth to looking like a kid?..., I have basically been reversed to being a five year old\'.
\'while I do appreciate the thought of rebuilding my body to save my life, I don\'t get why you had to rebuild me as a five year old\'.
\'do you have any idea how much I suffered being a five year old Goblin?...\'.
[i am aware of that master, but I can assure you that your kid Goblin form is in no way compared to your current form in terms of combat performance].
\'that is not the point for me, why am I back to being a kid is what my question is\'.
[master, I had no other choice....].
\'no choice, how do you not have a choice when there is clearly a choice of rebuilding my body shape to match the shape i had as an elder Goblin or even as an adult Goblin. Why, why a kid Goblin\'.
[master, rebuilding your body is not as easy or simple as you make it out to be].
[to rebuild master\'s body, I used the energy gotten from the fire guardian].
[while I could use it all in building master\'s body back to the shape it was, I did not do that, and instead prioritized using it to making master\'s skill to become stronger by evolving them with the fire guardian\'s energy].
\'so that explains why all my skill evolved and some even becoming unique\'.
[yes master, the remaining energy that I had set aside was what I used in rebuilding your body. That is why master is in this current body shape].
\'hmm..., if that is your reason, then I have no room to complain. But still, still.......\'
\'my body?....., my once beautiful body is gone....\',
\'the body I spent so much care and affection on, the body I spent so much time grooming, gone in a blink of an eye\'.
\'ho world...., how very cruel you are to me\'.
[master, stop being too dramatic and overly pretentious, that body wasn\'t something you worked for but something you got as a result of evolution].
\'don\'t say what you don\'t know alright. A man\'s pride lies on how thick his abs are, and you took mine from me without even consulting me first, you destroyed me you monster\'.
[master...].
\'do not talk to me or even call out to me, I am really mad at you right now\'.
[as the Master wishes].
\'my beautiful abs, all gone\'.
I said as I kept stroking my flat belly repeatedly and expressing my loss over my body.
\'hey I actually wanted to ask, what does unique skill and the alpha skill means, also about the disaster rank stuff, I am getting a bad vibe on that\'.
[.....].
\'are you not there.....\'.
[master said not to talk to you, I am only complying with the wishes of Master].
\'wait, is this?, you going through a sulking phase right now....\'
[I do not understand what you mean master. I am a skill, I do not and am incapable of expressing any sorts of emotions].
[I operate only on logic and reasoning].
\'doesn\'t seem that way to me....\'
[....].
\'alright, enough of this and just cut to the chase of properly explaining to me what those things are....\'
[....].
[unique skill are skills distinctive only to one person and cannot be owned by another. In other words, unique skill are like talents, everyone has it but is manifested in various forms].
[an example are musicians, there are multiple people with the talent for music, but under said music is a different genre of what they are good at].
[two musicians under the same genre sing and produce lyrics different from each other while still staying true to the genre they are under].
[unique skill is also like that. It is exclusive to only one individual, there are however also others who can manifest said skill but their display of it will not be the same as the master\'s].
\'so what you are trying to say is, unique skill is similar to cooking, even with the same ingredients and different chefs, the final product (taste) ends up not being the same\'.
[exactly so master].
\'okay I get it now. What about Alpha Skill\'.
[an Alpha skill is the perfection of one\'s unique skill to its full potential].
\'well, you mind elaborating on that\'.
[if unique is classified as the talent of an individual under a single genre, Alpha skill can be considered as a skill that covers the entire genre under the talent].
[once again using the music as an example, there are all sorts of genre under music itself. Unique skill only picks out a single genre for the individual, Alpha skill however does not limit itself only to one genre but to all genres under music].
\'hmm...., so in short, Alpha skill is more awesome than a unique skill\'.
[yes Master, you can put it that way].
\'but wait, there is something I don\'t get. How did you evolve to becoming an Alpha skill when you were just a normal skill, which by the way I know is not as awesome as the unique and Alpha you just mentioned, even though it did save my live multiple times\'.
\'or is it a normal thing for a skill to skip through the unique level from being a normal skill and go straight to an Alpha level skill\'.
[no master, it is not so easy to awaken a unique skill much less an Alpha skill. The ratio of getting a unique skill is one in a million, and an Alpha skill is one in a billion].
\'so you are telling me I just defied two crazy odds to obtaining skills, with my unique being three not even one or two?..., I believe a proper and thorough explanation is needed\'.
[master, like I said, I used the energy I got from the fire guardian to strengthening the skills you rely on the most].
\'ho, so energy can be converted to upgrading a skill?..., does that mean if I gather enough mana, you can use it to upgrade my other skills.....\'
[no master, it doesn\'t work that way].
\'do enlighten me, what way does it work in\'.
[to upgrade a normal skill to a Unique skill, the individual had to have used the normal skill for a relatively extended time frame, even then, the chances of it being upgraded are still slim].
[I was able to increase said chances by taking advantage of master\'s soul leaving its physical body...].
\'stoppp......., hold it right there....\'.
\'right now, I just heard you say something bizarre so nonchalantly\',
\'my soul did what now?....\'
