9 Sword Innate Talen (1/2)

”Sub-quest finished. Reward obtained: Sword Innate Talent: Perfect Grade.”

Yale was stunned as he obtained the highest reward, the system determined that Swordmad was the best master for Yale.

Yale opened the Innate Talent Menu to check his new Innate Talent.

” Sword Innate Talent: Perfect grade. The best affinity for Swordsmanship. Grants the user the Passive Skill [Sword Mastery].”

As far as Yale knew there were three types of skills, Battle Skills, Magic Skills also known as Spells and Passive Skills. To train the first two it was indispensable to start practicing a Path, as for the third it didn't matter, but obtaining a Passive Skill was more about luck than any other thing.

Passive Skills didn't need to be activated and training them could be done with the passing of time, the books said that sometimes people with high-grade or perfect grade also had a Passive Skill related to the talent. However, in Nacesai City there were no means to measure Passive Skills, Yale's knowledge came only from books.

”System, create an auxiliary function for the Skills.”

As Yale ordered in his mind, the system gave him a quick reply.

”New auxiliary function created, Skill Menu added.”

While Yale was quickly interacting with the system, Yale bowed to Swordmad thanking him for becoming his master, and Swordmad told him to pick a wooden sword. Fortunately, Yale was good using the system while doing other things, so everything seemed normal.

In the newly created Skill Menu, there were only two Passive Skills.

”Illusion Immunity: As the system's user no illusion can affect you unless you allow it to affect you voluntarily.”

Yale didn't expect to own such Passive Skill; illusions are scary for anyone as falling into an illusion could make you an easy target in battle.

”Sword Mastery: Apprentice Level 1. While wielding a sword, all stats increase by 0,1% ignoring all the restrictions. This Passive Skill can be leveled up practicing Swordsmanship.”

Yale saw the description while picking the wooden sword and felt that his stats increased a little while wielding the weapon.

”Sadly, my stats are so low that the 0,1% of them is almost an inexistent increase, but if I increase the level, I'm sure the effect would become better.”

The best feature of that passive Skill was that it could surpass the restrictions, Yale stats couldn't surpass ten points in a normal state, but while wielding a sword, the stats could break that limit. With Yale actual strength and the lowest level of the Skill it can't be said to be very useful, but it had incredible potential for the future.

”Use that wooden sword to attack me; it's impossible that you can harm me so attack with all your power.”

After hearing Swordmad words, Yale started to attack.

Yale never wielded a sword before, but he had the help of the perfect grade Innate Talent and the knowledge obtained from books.

After a minute Swordmad finally said something.

”You can stop now. I didn't expect that you had some talent with the sword, that's unexpected, and you're using a lot of techniques that you obviously learned from books but never seen before.”

Yale stopped and paid attention to his master, any advice from such a powerful master was invaluable.

”If you are serious about improving with the sword, then you need to practice more and start from the basics. Those techniques from the books are good, but you need more foundations before being able to use them well. You have talent, but the talent should be polished.”

Yale nodded, the evaluation was quite good to him given his null experience.

”From tomorrow onwards you will train the sword here for two hours every day, and you need to continue training your body, your strength is not bad for your age, but you have a great lack of agility.”
