Chapter 44: Info Change

All of the bodies of the ogres and orcs were burned to a crisp when I released a fireball on the mound of monster carcass. Since the flames of my gloves can burn anything too crisp, it was pretty ideal for disposing of all the bodies of the monsters. Though these flames can burn, not all of the things that the flames touch disintegrate into ashes, for example, the shards that the monsters drop. Although the bones and flesh of the monsters are not spared by the flames and will either get burned to ashes or charred beyond recognition, the shards do not burn. It was somewhat immune to the flames because they don't burn at all which is very different when I tested the flames on the rock.

Getting this info, it is easier to dig out all of the shards from their bodies. With Yuri using telekinesis to control the shards to gather towards her, it was easily formed into orbs which I really need. After all of those things gathered, I gathered everyone including the Kitsunes. After a total headcount, I found out that we didn't get a single casualty at all. It was quite a miracle after all the chaos that happened and we all dealt with the problem by assaulting the enemies while hiding on a trench even though I know this won't work in an actual military war.

"Looks like we survived everything without anyone dying in our side. Good Job everyone. Since everyone contributed, we will now discuss how we split the profit. All we have here are orbs of mana and other orbs of element that allows us to get stronger if they are consumed. If anyone is willing to say they want some, I will gladly-"

Before I can finish, Yuri stopped me and quickly said what she wanted. "Supply mana for me and my brother!"

"AH?"

Before I can respond, the kitsunes also bowed and Kon is the one who said what they wanted as a whole. "Master, although that was a generous offer, we will decline because Inari-sama said she will pamper us once we get back. For us, that was a better reward than shards. Please keep it for yourself master."

Yuto also said what he wanted too. "I want the latest mangas at the moment, Master! I also wanted to watch anime! Can you please take me out of this place?"

...

And due to that, I ended up with every loot in my dimensional bag. Because I hunted a lot, I am going back to the entrance of the gate. With the power of the contract, I recalled Yuri and Yuto which allowed them to become ethereal at the moment so that they can also get out of the GATES. The kitsunes also returned to their dimension to receive the pampering of Inari which should be head patting and fur grooming from what they said. Pulling out the exit ticket from my pocket which I purchased from the magic store.

As soon as the Exit ticket was torn to two, the surroundings blur like they are morphing into something. Then, when I blink my eyes, I returned to the starting point where I entered the GATES. It didn't feel like I was gone for how many days in the real world. Maybe because this place has no sense of time. I am just monitoring how long I was in here via the date on my phone.

From what I can see on my phone, it was currently 5 in the afternoon there. I have a risk of being found out if I go outside the GATES during this time. It would be safer if I go outside once the place is no longer daytime and should be nighttime already. To pass the time, I pulled out different kinds of orbs that managed to form after collecting their shards. They kind of look like marble to me instead which I didn't expect because the shards are big. They were actually small and they can be easily swallowed if you want to eat one.

(Mana Orb)

Description: An item that was formed by collecting 100 mana shards. Once it is formed, it is safe for consumption that will allow you to increase your mana capacity and mana recovery randomly.

I never checked it earlier but now that I am certain that this can allow me to raise my mana, I am delighted. I have a very small amount of mana and I am limited to use in magic due to the lack. But the fact that this orb can only give me a random amount of increment, makes me want to sigh in disappointment. There will be a chance that I gather a lot of them and I only get to raise my capacity in the minimum. This is something I am not too good with. Though I shouldn't be too greedy.

After the mana orb, I checked the other orbs as well. There are different of them and most of them are associated with magic elements like this red orb which is called Flame Orb.

(Flame Orb)

Description: An item that is formed by collecting 100 flame shards. Once it is formed, it will be available for consumption which allows the consumer to raise their affinity and compatibility of the magic. A slight amount of mastery will also be earned. The amount raised will be random.

As expected, this Flame Orb is similar to the Mana Orb. It also allows the user to increase the affinity and compatibility of the user to the magic. Then I remembered that first scan when I got this phone. There was an affinity of mine in there is there? I quickly opened the phone and checked what I remembered my affinity was.

Closet Pervert

I frowned on the new info on my phone. If I remember clearly, I have no notes that I am a Closet Pervert, when did I even get this trait? Although I am pissed a bit, I'm impressed by the division groupings of my magic skills. Now that I see it, I have learned Freezing Wind, right? I didn't get to use it in the battle. I almost forgot about it if I didn't check my phone. There are some changes in my panel too which is the job and my alignment. If I remember correctly, I was a Neutral alignment but now I am in Neutral-Chaotic. I wonder why I have the alignment like this? Did I do something that caused me to change? Also, besides the Student job, I also got the Magician inside the parenthesis. From the looks of it, my data updates. I checked the Affinity and it was labeled ALL. I don't know what it really means because I may be able to get all affinity but not some affinities like non-element ones. It was quite vague. I tried clicking it and I found out that there is an extra page I did not see the last time.

Affinity status: ALL

Description: Ability to learn all kinds of magic in the world. The only thing is that you can't gain a good enough mastery of magic like those magicians who have the normal affinity of one or two elements.

I see. So it was like that, I may be able to learn all skills and magic, I will be having trouble mastering one magic which is what is needed in the battles. This can be said as a nerf for my ability.
