Chapter 3 3. The Elemental Sword Art

Human Continent, The Capital City 'Astra', Inside the room of a Hotel near Rift mountain, Era 4345

"Hoo...I got tired just from this much, I will have to do training after I go back to the academy"

In the end, Rio was successful in stealing the protagonist. He didn't expect it to be so easy but this one was not really much, he still has one more thing that he needs to steal.

'I will do it tomorrow.' (Rio)

As for checking the status let's do it when he gets that thing tomorrow, it will feel better that way.

"Hehehe.....life's so good"

In the morning, Rio took the bus again and headed on a new journey, of stealing.

After a few hours of traveling, he reached his destination, The dark forest.

"It really is dark here, even though it's daytime, I have to use a torch to see the way, If not for the fact that, I know the way from reading the novel, I would have got lost already."

After about half an hour of walking, Rio stopped in front of a huge boulder, then he started to inspect the trees around the boulder they were all black in color and there were white spots on them, he walked to the tree in the middle, this tree is taller than others.

He gave a punch to the tree trunk and surprisingly such a huge trunk broke open easily and inside a lever was attached to the trunk. Rio pulled that lever and waited for a few minutes. After a few minutes, the huge boulder started to move on the left side slowly and revealed a staircase.

Rio started climbing down, and after 15 minutes he reached the bottom where a wooden door was shut tightly. He opened the door and move inside without hesitation.

Inside was a small room where a single old book was floating in thin air. Just as Rio touched the book it turned into light particles and entered his head. A huge amount of memories started to pour into his mind, and after an hour he finally digested all the memories.

[You have successfully learned 'The Elemental Sword Art'!]

[Your understanding of 'The Elemental Sword Art' has been upgraded to F+!]

[You have unlocked the first skill of 'The Elemental Sword Art'! 'Lightning Sword']

"Hmm, good I got it, let's head back to the academy now."

Although there are no monsters in the dark forest, I don't want to stay here.

After a few hours, Rio came back to his dorm room and immediately laid down on his bed.

"Today was a good day! let's check my status now!"

[Evaluation: You are an absolute anomaly! although you are weak right now, you have unlimited potential!]

"oh! even my evaluation has improved, good!"

"Hmm, I got this limitless talent from the rift mountain, surprisingly it upgraded my sword aptitude too!"

Now the only thing left is to train this whole month and wait for the entrance ceremony. As for what will happen to the main protagonist? How will he become strong without this talent, which should have been originally his?

"It's simple, that guy has a system shop, he can buy any talent, item, or skill book there. Although this talent must be very costly when buying from there, he can get it easily!"

So, there's no need to worry, the original plot will not change due to my small stealing activities.
