Grandmaster Of All Job Class

Chapter 164 - Research Part 2

After Joan made the skill to be controllable by willpower, he went again into Troan's soul realm. Replacing the old imprint into his skill tree. Going back into his body and then opened his eyes.

"Did you succeed?" Asked Troan.

"Yes,"

"Then let us test it immediately," Troan suggested.

He tested the skill and he closed his eyes. It was then, he felt that the skill has slower effects or progress. Adjusting his willpower, he made it go faster and faster. Making his mana spent on the process. Opening his eyes, he smiled and blurted out.

"It works! It works now! It is a success!" Troan said to him.

"Good, now take care of that skill. Maybe you can also teach it to other students from now on," Joan said to him.

"Yes, of course. As you have said it yourself, I will teach it to the students from now," Troan said while bowing his head. After bowing, he stand straight then shook hands with Joan.

"Congratulations, the next generation of students will surely break their elemental limits thanks to you. They will be eternally indebted to your works," Troan said.

"Nah, it is just a beta skill. I will make more in the future so no need to thank me every time," Joan said to him.

"Yeah, and that is still beta? We should look forward to more!" Troan said to him.

"Upon making a skill for Holy Knights, I suggest to make one too on Necromancer Ion," Joan said to them while looking at him.

"Great! I am next," Ion said to him.

He approached Joan whilst cracking his knuckles. Smiling while he was approaching.

"So what will we make? Any suggestions?" Joan asked.

"Ah, something about making the skeletons get stronger. How and by what means is up to you," He said to Joan.

"I see, they are pretty strong individually but I saw that there is no skill on making them tougher. They intend to be brittle and even with their great numbers, they are easily harassed by stronger opponents," Joan said to him.

"Yeah, this leads us to their bone structure is as hard as it is. Is there a way for hardening the bones?" Ion asked him.

It was then, Joan felt a surge of the information enter his mind.

"Aha! How about creating a skill that hardens the bones of all skeletons and all bone-related skills? Even your bones included!" Joan shouted.

Ion then scratched his chin. He was in deep thoughts.

"That is brilliant! You can avoid also some crippling and bone-breaking blows if you have that skill! Wonderful! This is revolutionary! Hahaha!" Ion can only laugh to great extent.

"Right! Let's do this!" Joan said to them.

Joan then prepared the imprint. Upon choosing the passive type skill as the origin, he then put a link to all bone type skills including the bones of the summoner. Mana will be spent as an expense for cultivating the skill and it will have surprising effects after many rounds of cultivation.

He finished making the skill and then put it in Ion's soul. Leaving his body again and then going back.

"Finished, you get it? I also adjusted it to be accessible to beginners. Making you cultivate it upon your willpower's capacity. It is named [Bone hardening]," Joan said then sat at a chair.

"Okay, let me test it first," Ion said to him.

"Sure," Ion replied.

He went to sit in a lotus position then started using the skill. Upon starting to cultivate, he felt that his mana was getting sucked by his bones. Making it nourished and hardens instead.

"Upon my discovery, your bones skills are all depending on your bones. So that means, the harder your bones are, the harder they get," Joan said to them.

"Oh! So that's the secret to it! I know now why," Said Mills.

"You should take your time with the testing phase. I recommend to let you test it on your [Bone wall] to see if it is hard enough," Joan said to him.

"Wait, I need to make it stronger first before testing," Said Ion.

"Sure, I will have to make another skill at the moment. Well, next is the Mage class," Joan said. Mills felt ecstatic at his announcement.

"Yes! Finally!" He shouted.

"For you, what is the mage's weakness?" Joan asked.

"Hmmm, let me think about it. The weakness of the Mage is the mana well regeneration. Defence and offence, Mages are good there. But the problem lies when he or she has run out of mana. Maybe that is the weakness. To put it in simple terms, it is their weakness," Mills said to him.

"Hmmm," Joan was in thoughts about what he will do about the current problem. As a fact that mana regeneration is made stronger by mana cultivation. As a passive skill, you need to make it stronger at in expense of mana.

"Oh, yeah. Mana cultivation makes the mana well expand and boosts the mana regeneration. But how about making a skill that focuses only on mana regeneration?" Joan asked.

"Yeah, you don't have to cultivate with mana regeneration while battling," Mills said to him.

"Yeah, I agree but the problem is to put it as a buff or a passive. What would be best?" Joan asked.

"A buff is temporary but has stronger effects. While passive skill is permanent, although it is a slower pace of growth," Mills said his remarks.

While thinking, Ion has finished cultivating his skill. They went to the testing grounds and then he used the skill.

[Bone wall]

Joan then instructed Mills to pour fireballs on it.

[Fireball]

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

To their surprise, they still saw the bones unscathed. Though it was darkened by the spell's aftermath.

"Woohoo! It worked! Finally!" Ion said to them.

Joan clapped his hands on him and then went inside the lab. Upon choosing between the buff or passive, he finally found the answer. Buff has its potential into making one Mage rampage exponentially. But it will have a long cooldown. Only making it as a trump card on stronger opponents. While passive, you can control its growth and was permanent. Also having to rival the skill mana cultivation on the process. You can't have all the time to cultivate both.

"But what if it can?" Joan spoke out loud.

Joan then went to the crystal ball and then scanned the skill mana cultivation. Though it was a similar skill, he find it able to be used while using mana cultivation.

Attaching the imprint, he programmed it to the mana well's cultivation process to be in sync with it. Making you do mana cultivation while doing mana regeneration.

As sad as it was, it was only available for the Mages. Making it as an imprint only for Mages. Joan called Mills and then he approached him. Explaining things about whether he will choose the buff one of the passive one.

"Well, I wanted buff one as it is a trump card. But the potential of the skill will be higher when you will put it to passive. Thinking about doing mana cultivation while cultivating mana regeneration is a brilliant idea, Joan. I haven't seen so brilliant as you these days," Told Mills to him.

"Well let us put it then. I call it [Mana regeneration]," Joan said to him then extracted the imprint from the Skill forge. Inserting it to his skill tree then went back. Upon inserting it, he used the skill while cultivating. Upon his surprise, the mana cultivation was in sync with the skill of mana regeneration. Hitting two birds in one stone. As Joan expected, it was an imprint that originated from mana cultivation. So attaching it to the mother imprint was the right choice.

"It was a success!" He blurted out in great glee. Lifting his hands while his eyes filled with happiness.

"I envy the next generation for this skill. I hope they will use it wisely," Said Mills.

"So it is working, nicely done Mills!" Joan said to him with a thumbs up.

"That is a well-made skill. That will surely change the future of Humanity. You sure keep making interesting skills Joan, I am impressed!" Troan said to him.

"Ah, that is just a hobby that I wanted to do. I will create more in the future but I am not able to make these skills without you guys," Joan said then smiled.

"Well, three done. Eight to go!" Joan added.

It was then, the three directors cultivated their new skills like kids. Troan, Ion, and, Mills started cultivating their skills. Making the others jealous of their new skills. As Joan expected, it was an effective skill that they have. Making their weakness in the past will become their strengths. As he contemplated, they have Legend auras in them. As their auras were not like before and they were intimidating individually.

As Joan was with them, he felt that his Master Rank will succumb in the process.. Barely holding out for minutes but he has to rest a bit.
