The Extra's Dominance-Chapter 28 The Basics

[Raven's POV]

"Wow, nice."

I can't help but be delighted as I looked at the transparent window floating in front, that apparently only me can see.

=====

[8636] CP

=====

I recieved a lot of character points from the transcend beings because of my fight with Levina.

They apparently enjoyed it and gave me a lot of CP donation.

I immediately went to the [System Shop] and selected [Request].

I looked at the [Timed Products] but there's nothing useful so I ignored it.

=====

<What's your request?>

>[REQUEST INPUT HERE]<

=====

"What's with this section's design? It sucks."

I said as I put my request.

=====

[Skill: Psychokinesis]

=====

I always want this skill as it will help me drastically in fights.

But I can't find a skill book of it even in the [Paradise].

"Is this right?"

I'm confused as it's my first time using the [Request] feature in the [System Shop].

Luckily, I used it right as I recieved a reply.

=====

[SKILL]

<Psychokinesis Lvl.1>

-Being able to move anything that within your range.

-The mana usage is based on how heavy and big the thing you want to move.

-Range and force of the skill increases based on skill and your proficiency of the skill.

-----

<Acquire it by using [5000] CP>

=====

I frowned at the amount of CP I need to pay to acquire the skill.

"I thought it will only be about 1500 CP."

I mumbled with a frown, I started thinking if it's worth it. Then after a while, I bought the skill anyway.

=====

[SKILL ACQUIRED]

<Psychokinesis Lvl.1>

=====

Nothing changed in my body but I should have the skill already as the system said.

I took out my [Black Dagger] and threw it on a nearby tree.

Thud-

After that, I activated <Psychokinesis> and tried to use it on the dagger.

Fwoosh-

Then the [Black Dagger] flew back on my hand, just as what I thought of.

"Woah, this is it."

I muttered with a satisfied smile on my face.

After that, I tried requesting [Rank Limit Remover] and [Attribute Upgrader] to the [System Shop], but it's too expensive that I can't even afford to raise my rank limit to <D+> and I can't even raise my compatibility with wind attribute even for a bit.

'Looks like I have no choice but find a way myself to surpass my limit, should I find Captain Yami in this world to help me?'

I thought as I think of other wwy to break through my rank limit.

As for the wind attribute problem, I already have a plan for that.

***

"Let's go."

Clifford said and started to march forward, without waiting for our response.

I am still with the [Coldvale] as they said that I should come back in Earth with them to be safe, which I didn't refuse as I'm not stupid.

'Who wouldn't want a free bus ride?'

I thought while smiling inwardly.

So, I'm gonna be with them until we leave this dungeon or dimension.

The system said that the time here is 1.75 times slower than the Earth's, so we have 1 week left in this dimension's time to kill the boss and clear this portal dungeon.

'Or maybe less.'

It's already dark, and we're now finding a place to rest as the meadow that's perfect for resting was destroyed by Levina's lightnings.

-There's a good place there.

Levina said pointing at northeast direction.

She was guiding us to a good resting place.

Levina said she knows the [Mysterious Woodland] more than anyone else, which is not surprising as she was born here.

She also knows a lot of locations where good materials are and she even knows where the boss monster is.

Of course Levina didn't voluntary helped Clifford and the others.

But when I'm asking her, she answers pretty fast, thus I requested her to be our guide, she also answered positively immediately at my request.

'Hm, I can force Levina to do things for us as she's my servant, but it feels wrong so let's do not...'

I thought and shrugged internally as I continued to follow Clifford and the others.

***

As we reached a place we can peacefully rest, I cooked foods and distributed it to others.

While I was cooking.

"You're so cute!"

-Kyuuu!

From a distance, I can see Levina is patting Yuki's head.

Yuki didn't like Levina at the beginning as she attacked me, but later on, they got along with each other. Maybe because Yuki's existence is similar to a spirit, at least that's what Levina and the system said.

Levina is in her human form. It's her true appearance and just can transform into a small fairy-like appearance, because their presence will be a lot smaller in their spirit form while not hindering their strengths.

That are the details I wrote about the spirits, I made them as stealthy as possible as they are suppose to be hard to find.

'Well, she's beautiful in her real form.'

I thought as I finally got a better look of Levina's appearance. Comparing Levina's appearance to super models is like belittling her!

As I observes Levina playing with Yuki, a theory came to mind.

"Levina might be stronger than the spirit that will be contracted with Alec in the future."

I saw Levina's trait <Superior Spirit>, that wasn't with the spirit that Alec will be contracted to in the future. I was happy that I have one up with the protagonist of my novel.

"Why are you smiling? You need another kiss?"

Then a teasing but beautiful voice was heard from my side.

My head snapped in the direction where the voice came from. Then I saw Levina's face near mine.

And at her words just now, I remembered something that made me frown.

"Huh? Why?"

Levina asked tilting her head.

"Why did you kiss me earlier, it's not a requirement to kiss to form a contract right?"

I asked her.

I just need to drink Levina's blood to form a contract with her. That's what I wrote in my novel when Alec made contact with the fire spirit.

It's the same process on how to make a contact with demons to become a majin.

At my question, Levina just looked at me casually before opening her mouth.

"Hmm... Because I want to?"

Levina said with a face like what she did was normal.

"Isn't it natural to do what you want even if some will look at you weirdly?"

Levina added in an innocent tone.

"Wow, that's... I didn't expect such words from you."

I was really surprised at her words. It's intellectual.

"Huh?! What are you talking about?! I'm a noble superior being so it's natural that I'm knowledgeable!"

Levina exclaimed as she read my thoughts. Fucking mind link.

Anyway, I know that Levina is smart nased on her stat, but she looks like an airhead because of her childish actions and her lack of common sense about human and our culture.

"Anyway, why are you here?"

I changed the topic as Levina is getting louder and louder, explaining how smart she is.

"Ah! Right."

Levina looked straight at me.

"I'm gonna train you so you can use your electric attribute efficiently."

She declared, puffing her chest out proudly.

'Oh, she's quite thoughtful, I thought I'll need to ask her directly to teach me.'

I thought as rhe corner of my lips rose into a smile.

I stood up and looked at Levina.

"Sure."

I replied.

"I knew you'll agree! So let's start n–"

"Not now."

I cut Levina's words midway. Levina frowned.

"Why?"

"Hmm... I need to do something, let's start tomorrow okay?"

At my answer, Levina squinted her eyes and pouted.

"Hmhp! Fine, tomorrow morning okay?"

I can't believe this girl is a noble being because she's acting way too childish.

'It's cute though.'

I'll lie if I didn't admit that she's cute.

"Sure, tomorrow morning."

I answered to Levina.

After my conversation with her reached the conclusion, I went to where Clifford and Oscar is, they're resting near a gigantic tree as they just finished eating.

"Hmm, is there something wrong?"

Oscar asked upon me arriving near them, at his question, Clifford looked at my direction.

I looked at them seriously.

"Please... Teach me."

I muttered in a clear and determined voice.

***

Bzzzzt-

Black electric sparkles started to come out from my palm, then after some seconds, a black electric ball in the size of baseball formed in my hand.

"You're a quick learner, I knew I'm not wrong for picking you."

Levina said with a satisfied tone while nodding her head.

It's now morning and I'm having my electric attribute training, with Levina as my guide.

The electric I produces are all color black because of the influence of my mana.

Levina finds the color of my electric interesting thus she bugged me about it, and so, my electric attribute training started much earlier than I expected.

"Now launch it."

Levina instructed me, looking at the electric ball floating on top of my palm.

"How?"

I asked. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

This is pretty diffident from launchable magics, what I'm doing is manipulating electric, not casting an electric spell.

This electric ball in my hand is produced by my mana but it's kinda different from a magic.

Let's just say that the electric ball in my hand is like a button that doesn't do anything, so I need to guide it myself to do certain things.

While magic spells are buttons that already have tasks that it will do and will automatically do after pressing them.

"Hmm, I just do it unconsciously...wait."

Levina is having a hard time explaining to me, then after pondering for a while, she finally opened her mouth!

"You see, I just command the electric and it usually obeys, so try doing that, like 'BAM!' or 'SWOOSH!'."

Levinas said with a satisfied face.

I frowned because of the advice I recieved, Levina is looking at me confidently that she thinks her method will work.

'She's pretty stupid from time to time huh.'

I thought and focused myself.

I raised my hand, aiming for a nearby tree with the intention of launching the electric ball in my hand then...

Bzoom-

Bam-!

The electric ball was shot from my hand and hit the tree, there's a burn mark on the tree, but because I didn't put much mana to the electric ball, it didn't do much damage, but it's still a satisfying result.

"Ooooh! See! I knew it, I was right!"

Levina exclaimed proudly.

'Well, she's not entirely wrong as I launched it after interpreting her advice earlier, but her teaching skill sucks.'

If not for my trait <Understanding>, I would literally learn nothing from her.

'Well, she's controlling electric all her life so maybe she now do it naturally like breathing, that's why she's having trouble teaching about it.'

Then after that, I trained how to cover things with electric, it turns out I just need to be more proficient at manipulating and controlling electric.

After training with Levina, I went to where Oscar is.

"Oh, you're early."

"Not as early as you."

I said as I see him waiting for me alone.

"I'm just excited."

Oscar said with an excited tone.

"Well, me too."

"Oh yeah? It's earlier than we agreed on, but let's start."

I just nodded my head as a reply.

Now, Oscar is gonna help me acquire wind attribute.

He's hesitant to teach me at first, but when I told him that I'm compatible with any attribute, he changed his mind and immediately agreed.

It's a common knowledge that mages are curious in nature.

After knowing my rare case about attributes, Oscar wanted to observe as I acquire new attribute after just acquiring one by forming a contract with a spirit.

'Hmm... Now that I think about it, Adelle is also a mage, guess that explain why she's so curious about everything.'

I thought. Coincidentally, she's also a wind attribute user.

***

"Urgh... My body."

I muttered after finishing my training session with Oscar.

My body hurts because of my constantly usage of mana, making my body a bit sluggish.

And I'm also mentally tired.

"Even though it's only morning."

I'm not use to training hard, because in the past, I'm just a shut in that only goes out of the house to buy something or if really needed.

I mainly just laze around everyday writing and reading novels.

I tried to train and change my life style in the past many times, but I'm too lazy to fulfill that goal.

I'm so proud of myself that I trained after coming in this world.

I didn't stop because the system is giving me a training schedule like this everyday:

=====

Push-ups:51/200

Sit-ups:24/200

Running:207/2000 meters

=====

Because of that, I always finish my training because I know that I'm improving.

And it's interesting to see my progress from the system.

'I'm tired.'

I shook my head then took a deep breathe.

'No, I need to be strong to have fun in this world.'

Only strong can have freedom in this world, I know because that's what I wrote in the novel.

'So to have fun, I need to be strong.'

With that in mind.

I walked to a pretty secluded area where it's covered by tall and thick trees.

Upon arriving, I saw a man with bulging muscles standing proudly, his face is intimidating that if I don't know him and saw him like that, I might have run away.

It's Clifford.

"Sir Clifford, I'm here."

Clifford just nodded and looked at me from head to toes.

"Then, without further ado, let's start."

He said.

I nodded my head then a sharp katana appeared in my right hand.

Clifford didn't say anything about the katana.

"Then I'll teach you the basic."

This is the third time I heard that today, from Levina, then Oscar, now from Clifford.

Nevertheless, I just nodded my head.

"Please do."

I plan to learn the basics of swordsmanship from Clifford, I choose a katana because I did kendo in the past for a short while because I'm interested in it.

Kendo uses shinai which is close to a katana, so I feel kinda comfortable holding the katana's grip.

Dadao and katana have a huge appearance difference, but it's both two handed swords.

So the basic moves are similar, because of that Clifford agreed easily on teaching me, he even sounded happy that time, maybe because Eve uses spear and didn't asked him to teach her.

That being said, because of my strength, I can easily lift a katana with one hand so I can use it one handedly.

Not that I can brag while Clifford is holding his dadao in one hand in front of me.

It looks heavy that it made me frown just thinking about carrying it with one hand.

"Get ready."

Clifford said, after hearing that, I took a fighting stance. Clifford smiled in satisfaction.

Then with that Clifford started to train me.

He made me swung my katana with one hand and two hands consecutively for hundreds of times.

Be it horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

Be it from top to down or down to up.

I swung again and again, even when I feel that my arms is about to fall off, I didn't stop.

I continued to swing.

Until my body collapsed.

"Haaa... Haaa"

I chased my breathes as I was lying down on dungeon grass.

"Good job."

Clifford said looking at me with a satisfied expression.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, I'm also having fun teaching you."

"Yeah? Then I'll be counting on you until we leave this dungeon."

"Sure."

We exchanged few words, then I sat up in a lotus position and started to meditate.

I circulated my mana in my body, I'm training my mana control, my mana control may be unusually high, but it's still not enough for my plan.

"Oh, you're a hard worker one huh, then I'll leave you alone then, no need to reply."

I heard Clifford's voice then soon, I didn't feel his gaze anymore, I can't sense his presence so he must had left to let me focus.

Man, I'm thankful for that.

After meditating for 'gods-know-how long', I stood up from my position, though I'm still circulating my mana.

It's mentally burdensome and it's not as effective when I'm meditating, but I know it will still be worth it for my growth.

Then when I reached where we are camping, I saw Alina and the other members of [Coldvale], they might have felt my presence immediately as I'm not trying to hide it.

They looked at me with anticipation and bright face.

"W-what?"

I stuttered as I find their actions weird, they started a fire and took out cooking equipments and some meats and spices.

"Are you done training?"

"Can you cook for us?"

"Your foods are the best so can you cook for us until we leave the dungeon?"

They said to me like they practiced those lines for hours.

At their words, I smiled and prepared to cook.

"Sure, just wait for a bit."

"Nice!"

"Yay!"

"I love you Raven!"

-Hey! Raven is mine!

This kind of atmosphere makes me forget that I'm currently inside an <A+> rank dungeon.
