39 Chapter 32: Unique Skill - Psyche (1/2)

Ciel: ”Psyche.”

I threw may hand forward and used Psyche on a piece of rock.

It followed, as my thought commanded it to and floated in the air, and it floated in the air. Deactivating the skill, the rock then fall down to the ground with a thud.

Hmhm. It's still the same as Psychokinesis, just like I thought. But if I have to say something different, is its degree of handling. Also, it's now a Unique Skill.

Psyche is now much easier to handle, unlike Psychokinesis. Psychokinesis occupied a huge space in my mind to control. Like during the time with the Evil God. Merely creating barriers and using Gale Boost at the same time almost made mind burst. It was as if my mind is being pulled apart and crushed at the same time.

But for Psyche, I only think and it will follow that thought.

It's almost as simple as thinking.

I did receive a notification that Psyche's effectiveness increased. That's may be the reason.

As for the Psyche Skill Section, it appears that in place of the Active Magic Skill Section, Psyche Skill is there. All of the skills that I acquired from utilizing Psychokinesis also transferred there, making a specialized section for Psyche.

Currently, my Psyche skills are…

(Psyche – Trigger)

(Psyche – Barrier)

(Psyche – Gale Boost)

(Psyche – Gale Spear)

(Psyche – Gale Burst)

I've used this skills before so I'm already familiar with them.

But…

These skills all have something in common. That is, they are all acquired from me utilizing Psychokinesis. They became a skill after using it in all kinds of ways.

Now that Psyche skill is easier to use and is more user friendly, I wonder if I can create more skills from it. Or so I've been thinking.

That is the reason for tonight's training session.

Ciel: ”Ei~ Psyche!”

I waved my hand, making a chopping motion in the air, and used Psyche – Trigger with the intention of using the air to create a slashing effect.

*slice*

Ohh! It's almost the same what the Evil God was doing! Well, the power is far from the actual thing, though. But it's better than nothing! Mufufu~

There we go. Mufufu. I really acquired a new skill. I'm such a genius.

But then again… They're all 'Gale' something, huh? This must related to how they're based from air to execute. Hmhm.

Then what if I tried using Psyche with the soil? Just like how Purin uses her Grudan Magic to form that artificial room.

Ciel: ”Alright. Let's try it.”

I placed my hand on the ground to feel the cold touch of the brown soil. I wanted to use this chance to get used to touching things. Since it'll need more than my instinct and reflex to get used to touching my target whenever I use Soul Consume, I have to do this much to get used to the feeling.

I'll touch my way through all my obstacles!

<Touch skill acquired>

Wait, wha?? I just moved my fingers to feel the ground and I gained a skill?? Just that easy…

Well, I mean, there are skills that require great detail, but… To think there are also skills that only requires this stuff.

[Touch: Enhances the sensational effect of the users touch.]

O-Ohh… Kinda lewd.

Oh well.

Let's do this.

I inject the skill on the ground and imagine the ground to produce spikes.

*grumble* *grumble*

Oh? Ohh?

Well then…

Psyche!

With another loud grumble, a number of thick spikes with needle sharp edges protruded in all direction, coming from the ground just in front of my hand. The end of the spikes struck onto the ceiling, like arrows piercing a Styrofoam.

Ciel: ”… I shouldn't use this against a person… Well, I hope the time I will have to won't come.”

I mean, if I have to fight, then I'll have no choice.

Still, this one is dangerous. I will never see another person's smile if I try to use this against someone. Also, I'm not into skewering people.

Oh? Now it's Terra. Yet again, it's related to what I'm using as a basis. Terra means earth, after all. Then why not create more?

Like a wall or something to act as a shield.

Ciel: ”And… Psyche!”

*grumble!*

Ohh! It's a success!

A huge wall like structure erected from the ground and appeared in front of me, covering my field of vision in the process.

Now gimme skill!

<… Terra Wall skill acquired>

Is it just me, or the text and voice appear to be exasperated…?

Well, whatever.

Mufufu. I see, I see. So this is Psyche, huh? Mufufufufu…

It's just like magic! With this, I can use magic! It's like I'm already using magic! Muhahahaha!

All hopes are not yet gone, after all! I can still find my way towards the Magehood!

Aahh…~ This is nice, very nice. To think there would be a way for me to use magic…~ Hm?

Wait a sec…

Since I can manipulate almost everything through the skill Psyche, won't I be able to manipulate… Crysaztel?? Like, I can, logically thinking, right??

O-Ohh…

Then let's try it immediately!

Ciel: ”Hmmmm…”

Crysaztels are these white orb like thingies that are floating in the air, right? They look like fireflies but floats like dusts. They glow and they're pretty to look at.

So… Basically, magic are the application of Crysaztel through some sort of gate, made by using the soul as the catalyst. Or so what I've heard from Fleur and Purin. I believe her since it's what one of her teacher thought her, and Purin is a splendid magic user, so it must be true.

… It's really hard to believe for someone who has a scientific mind like me. I mean, EVERYTHING was hard to believe since day one, but…

If I use that as a basis, then magic skills are the application of Crysaztel, and is manifested as a manipulation of the environment or elements.

Something like that?

If so…

Ciel: ”I'll try manipulating the Crysaztel and inject them to… like for example… the air? Is that possible?”

I'm doing it though.

I focus my mind into dragging the Crysaztel into the air as much as possible, focusing on one point at a time. Doing that, I felt some very small being affected by the Psych skill…

Molecules… Combining Crysaztel to the air's molecules…

There, it worked. I felt a clicking sensation, close to fitting a piece of magnet into a metallic material.

Okay…

Let's now try it out.

Ciel: ”Gale Slash!”

*slice*

Hohoh…!

Hmhm… It got stronger…!

It's now nearly the same as the one the Evil God did.

The gale sliced through the pillar-like rock formation as if it were a butter. I can see a slight gap between the sliced parts, so the skill really must have sliced it in half without damaging the surface area.
