Chapter 17: Plans to use my Talent
My talent is Ritualistic Summoning, which is graded EX.
The grades in the world of Ragos are as follows: F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS. The grades start at F, which is the lowest, and end at SSS, which is the highest. I have never seen any mention of grades above SSS. So I have no idea how high the grade is or how low it is. There is a chance that EX might be below F grade.
Unless I test out the effects, I can't say if the grade is better or worse. This was my opinion before I saw the results that I got from my Physique which too was graded as EX. From what I have seen so far, I can assume that the EX-grade is definitely not below F-grade.
Though I never tried what my talent was about, I did read a lot of books in the library. In this world, knowledge is compartmented and restricted. The access to knowledge about the magic depends on your rank.
When I had yet to awaken, there wasn't much knowledge regarding the awakeners available to me. The knowledge available was enough for me to under and prepare before awakening.
Only when I awakened successfully did I get access to one of the restricted sections. Even though I have awakened, not all the knowledge was made available to me. Since I was at Tier-0, knowledge up to Tier-3 was allowed. Only once I reach Tier-3 would the knowledge about the above ranks be opened to me.
Even though most of the important knowledge was still restricted for me, I still was able to learn what I needed.
I read books on Alchemy, Formations, Rituals, and every other subject that I can find in the library. Once I joined the academy, everything would be done online.
The knowledge I could read was public knowledge or what my family collected on their own. Except for that, no one can teach others, even their family the knowledge that they learn at the academy. I don't know why exactly such a restriction exists. Anyway, that has nothing to do with me.
I hope so, if that is not possible, I hope that the talent of me would do something miraclous and help me have a safe and prosperous life without having to face so many dangers.
Anyway, in these weeks hunting, I was able to get the materials that I need for basic rituals and summoning.
I don't know what exactly I am summoning through this ritual, as the name was not mentioned in the book that I found in the family library. The book though, didn't seem to be in the index which showed all the book that are available in the library.
I didn't understand why but it worked in my favor, but I am not an idiot. I prepared well for containing whatever that comes because of this. If it was dangerous, I would be in danger and may have to lose my life, which I don't want to.
I am going through the ritual because of the items that were required. Most of them are low-level items, except the Ink that was used to draw the circles and inscription.
The items required are also quite wierd, because it requires the body of slimes. Who would want their bodies?
There is nothing one can do with their bodies. Even the cores are usually discarded or used in equipment making.
Thinking about slimes, what are their skills?
I never checked, infact I don't believe anyone has checked what skills they possess. Maybe something useful or useless. I should check them just in case. If I am lucky, I might find something useful is there.
