Chapter 34 - Synergy

XxxDarkestxxX: Lol, this guy wants to earn Ki by using Mana.

D4rkem0: Oh, ok everyone, let me just pull out a fireball so I can be a martial artist.

James White: This is my first comment

Ridicule and mockery spread throughout the comments and reviews of this breathing technique. Well, it was just fair though, considering that two energies can't naturally exist in your body, meaning there's no particular way to train this technique efficiently. KI users who would benefit from this technique wouldn't be able to use it in the first place due to its characteristic of needing mana to collect Ki. As for mages who could actually utilize this technique, they wouldn't have any benefits as they wouldn't be able to collect the Ki that the technique gathered.

So, in simple terms, it's a pretty useless technique that wouldn't benefit anyone...

Well, except for me. Considering how rare artifacts already are, with only about 24 known consumers, how many would there be an artifact that grants you the release of the 1 energy restriction?

If this collection technique really works the way I think it would... This is going to be a gem tailored just for me.

ItssHame: What is this? Do you have to get pummeled by magic so that you can earn Ki? LMAO

Shiroyuki: Yeah, we actually tried the skill already. About ten people attacked this guy constantly, and obviously, he was a tank. We got about a D-Class equivalent and a severely beaten down man.

ItssHame: LOL

Frengha: Then how about healing magic? Does it work the same?

Shiroyuki: Oh, let me try.

Shiroyuki: Ok... So I tried it again. We gathered about six healers since they were way too hard to find, and we used healing magic on the same guy, and it definitely worked! It's about the same speed when it comes to attack magic, but I guess it's a little safer. In conclusion, it's about F class in equivalent, since the magicians ran out of magic and they are pretty rare to find.

James White: Can you guys get off of your Holics and actually touch some grass?

This is perfect...

I can't even explain how well this F-class technique synergizes with my technique. Is this the so-called plot armor only heard in stories?

This technique was incredibly useless and only useful to rich people who could afford to hire a high number of healers to have them collect Ki for them. Hell, you might as well buy an S class collection technique if you're willing to spend that much.

But that was for normal people. My artifact and ability combination was pretty much tailored for this skill. If I form an arm filled with mana, use the technique, then hit myself with the mist arm, which wouldn't hurt me at all, won't I basically have the ten healers near me?

There's also the fact that as long as I use this technique to increase my Ki storage, I'd be able to make more arms, which boosts my collection even more.

How broken is that?

Whew... Calm down, calm down.

It's not a hundred percent certain that this technique will work the way I think it does. It's merely just a hypothesis and an assumption as of right now. I had to buy it if I really wanted to see how great it was.

I can only hope this cheat of an item works the way I think it will.

Anyways, classes will start soon, so I have to go now. It's a matter of time now and I will have this technique for trial and error. And if it works, then I might have to stop lying low faster than I thought I would.

Speaking of laying low, my mask was now broken, and I didn't have anything to wear for class. Besides, Sol has already seen my face, and I'm sure that the newspaper they will release will have my unconscious face for everyone to see.

That's fine for me as long as I was unconscious in the picture and they placed me as just a side character that didn't help in that raid. I mean, don't get me wrong. If it was just Kinmed who we managed to capture there, I would've taken all that glory for myself, but we're talking about a demon here. You know, the main antagonists of the story itself, harbingers of doom, children of evil, you know, DEMONS?

Not only that, but, grabbing their attention with a demon spy miniboss in close proximity to us every single day, I'm good. I know Kon will give Sol some annoyance after this gets publicized. Demons will be well-known entities after this one, which will restrict their freedom a lot. And who is to blame? Is it the 1* hunter who could barely defend himself, or the kid with a system that could get anything?

I'm sorry Sol, but you're going to have to get all the attention on this one. Kon wouldn't be able to move anyway, as he couldn't really kill Sol swiftly, and that would also be a dumb decision, considering he was still a well-respected teacher in Tree. I'm sure there are going to be bigger roles for him, and I have to ready myself if I want to do this safely.

" Who's that? Look at his face. Was he a student here? "

" I don't know, but hopefully he's in my class... "

Anyway, these stares are getting a little too heavy for my own good. I'm quite uncomfortable as I did have guards back home to keep me safe, but no one's crazy enough to throw themselves here, thankfully.

" Excuse me, could I- " A girl walks in front of me as she brings out her Holic in my direction.

" I'm going to be late for class, so I'll have to hurry. You seem like a wonderful person, but I'm sorry." I say as I walk away at a good pace.

...

Uhh... I finally arrived in front of the S-class classroom, but that was nearly as bad as it got. There were too many obstructions on the way, which nearly spent all of my time. I was nearly late, so I had to run all the way.

I grasp the doorknob, entering the loud room in front of me. This might be the only quiet day I'd have, after that news releases.
