21 Chapter 21- Statistics (1/2)

Dubs approached the other 3, who seemed to all be focused on improving their control over magic.

”How is everyone doing? Getting the hang of things?”, Dubs asked.

Tirian, who had become used to controlling his sphere of water, turned towards Dubs. Placing his hand on Dubs shoulder, he encouraged him.

”It is alright if you lack immediate skill with magic, Dubs! I'm sure that with training you will be able to overcome any initial disposition you are faced with.”

Enferia and Drodus, who had also been refining their control over their respective elements, looked at Dubs and nodded.

”We are a squad, and we believe in you Dubs”, Enferia stated.

Dubs smiled at them, even though he knew their words were shallow. Dubs knew that they all considered him to be an outcast, and that his other self had freaked them out. Still, his other self was a part of him, as Dubs had learned recently.

”Will I cease to be a split personality when we merge?”, Dubs pondered.

Drodus continued his training on control. Tirian and Enferia had been trying to assist him since they had both already mastered the technique.

Drodus put his hands together once more and another red and clear ball formed. The ball was significantly rounder than it had initially been, even though there were still some smaller protrusions. The fact that Drodus had improved so much over such a small time period showed great promise.

Dubs other self began to whisper to him. ”Hey Dubs? You wanna know how strong these people are?”

Dubs thought for a second and nodded. It would be good to see where he stood compared to his other classmates.

”The noble has a physical attack strength of 1.34 times your own, and a physical defense and vitality of 0.167 times your own. Reflex speed is 0.93 times your own. Magical resistance to water is 7%, and control over water element is 3%.”

Dubs nodded. It seemed that most males had a greater physical attack strength than him, but most people had significantly less defense and vitality that he did. This was most likely due to the rigorous torture Dubs had endured over the years, combined with the fact that he had never cared to fight back.

Dubs other self continued his analysis. ”The dwarf had a physical attack strength at 2.13, and a defense of 0.475. Agility is 0.67. Fire resistance is at 8% and air resistance is at 5%, while control of fire element is at 2% and control of air element is at 0.5%.”

The dwarf had a surprisingly higher vitality than the rest of the males, but his agility suffered. His affinity with fire magic wasn't bad, and he also had some affinity with some air magic, which would allow him to easily begin training in multiple classes of magic.

Finally, Dubs other self analyzed Enferia. ”The elf has a physical attack strength of 0.47, and a defense/vitality of 0.12. Agility is 1.54, and resistance to light magic is at 6.5%. Control of light magic has recently increased from 4% to 5%”

As an elf, Enferia was the one who was the most prone to have an increase in her magical abilities. While her physical stats lacked, she would be a strong supporting party member in the long run.

The voice explained to Dubs further. ”From this point on, I will compare statistics with respect to your current strength. When you get stronger, the statistics I refer to your strength with will increase. Resistances and affinities are fixed percentages however, therefore there is no need to have a reference to compare them to.”

Dubs nodded. He knew that his current resistances were at 100% for all types of magic, and that his control for all types of magic was extremely low. If he considered his health to be at 100 points, Samuel had 20 health, Drodus had 48, Tirian had 17, and Enferia had 12.
