“Well, you’ve trained me before, so I kno spartan you are” She was an intense teacher, and he had even passed out once with his eyes open during her training
“But, Contractor, will you only continue to do sta?” she asked
“Nope Today was the final day” Fro
“Considering that you only have teeks to teach the, you are very pressed for tionna teach the after only teeks Seo Jun-Ho planned to
“It took half a year for Gilberto to perfect the basics”
Granted, the Watchguards were of a higher level and had higher stats than Gilberto had had, but that only meant it would be harder for the they already knew
“Where will you go once you finish teaching them?” the Frost Queen asked
“I don’t know I suppose I’ll have to hunt around and raise oals The first was to raise his level, and the other was to train his skills “I’ ith my other skills… Frost is the only one I’m still not familiar with”
The truth was, he was uard of Darkness, which he had been using for five years It already felt like an extension of his body On the other hand, he could feel hoide the distance between himself and Frost was
“I used Frost a lot more on the 1st floor Tsk” He had barely been able to use it on the 2nd floor because the 2nd floor didn’t have closed Gates He was always hesitant to use his skill because anyone could find traces of it
“Contractor” The Frost Queen placed down her teacup There was so about for some time now, and she decided that it was time to say it “Caution will serve you well, but if you continue like this, you may never be able to use the Frost Skill properly”
“” Seo Jun-Ho closed his ht
“It is only natural that you would have difficultythe skill—that is how couard of Darkness was similar to Frost but different at the same time They were both elemental skills, but they had different uses
“Before you fight the fiends at Port Lane, allow me to train you once more,” the Frost Queen said
“Train s you could only learn by s that you could only learn once you looked back after teaching soer now’
Even if the world knew that he had the Frost skill, it wouldn’t be dangerous for hih to handle most fiends
‘Other than the Squadron Leaders and the executives above the about them, he would never be able to use his skill At least, not until he becaest person in the world
’ </e bad would couard by his counterattack with Watchguard of Darkness
“So, Specter will use darkness, and Seo Jun-Ho will use ice Is that it?” he wondered out loud It felt like he was playing two different people He would have to live two different lives as well “But if I do that, there will be ood backstory, do you not?”
“A backstory… ain Seo Jun-Ho was currently acting as Specter’s proxy If he went up to the 3rd floor, possessing an ice ele how to handle the heat… “Rather than target Specter, the fiends would prefer to target…”
“The inexperienced Seo Jun-Ho,” the Frost Queen finished
“Hmmm” He looked at her with an unreadable expression
her a lot of Spirit Crystal shavings these days? I don’t think she used to be this smart’
He used to think that all she did was eat cake and drink tea, but she was actually pretty thoughtful She narrowed her eyes and looked at hi about?”
“Nothing…”
“Soence”
“Do you want soe the subject The Frost Queen nodded, but she still looked suspicious
“Tirarey” It definitely wasn’t because she wanted more snacks
Each Player had unique abilities There wasn’t even an inheritance factor that could be passed from parent to child The same was true for Arthur
‘Telekinesis’
It was a very common skill, and it was just as famous There were also many well-known telekinetic Players

Arthur wasn’t the only one with this issue Most of the Watchguards, especially the corade skills River was a non-co therade,” Specter said
“!”
Their eyes widened It was every Player’s drearade, but most of them failed Countless Players and scholars presented theories on how to do so, but every single one had been incorrect
‘But if it’s Specter-nirades of Gilberto-nim’s skills’
‘He should have some special methods we can use’
He looked at the naive hope in their eyes and shot theet your hopes up I don’t have any special methods”
“htly-disappointed Watchguards “What do we have to do to raise our skill grades, then?”
“You just need a little talent, luck; and a lot of effort”
“Talent…”
The Players were aware of how big of a barrier natural talent posed Those with talent would get into good Guilds, and those without talent would stay on the 1st floor for the rest of their lives Their very starting points were different
“But all of you made it to the 2nd floor, which is the result of either talent or effort This h Specter hadn’t used any particular training rades of Gilberto’s skills “All you have to do is use your skills until you’re tired of it—until it feels like a part of you”
He felt the sa Back then, he used the Frost skill until he passed out with his eyes open His understanding of the skill had drastically i how high Frost’s grade is, it’ll take even longer to master…’ </eet to the point where using Watchguard of Darkness felt natural As an EX-grade skill, it ht be even harder to reach that level with Frost
But forget EX-grade, the Watchguards didn’t even have any S or A-grade skills
“If you want to increase your understanding of your skills, you have to use it consistently” He held out his hand, and darkness condensed around it In an instant, the shadows for it around as he spoke, “And of course, the fastest way to do that is in real battle”
This required one factor: a strong opponent that could beat you to the brink of death
“Now, you guys will step up and fight uards were blessed to have soht in front of them
