'I should learn the top magic skill in the guild, which is suitable for me. With the help of system there should be no problem in upgrading the skill level with enough source points. So why waste this opportunity to learn some easy basic magic skill.' Jon decided and started looking through the catalogue for such a skill.
Jon went through many magic skills, the skill which was ranked No.1 in the guild was the 'Enchantress scripture' but the problem was that only women are able to practice this skill.
Name of the magic skill: Scripture of Enchantress
Skill description: When practiced to the extreme, not only can one freely change between Light magic attributes and dark magic attributes, it also allows its practitioner to maintain their youthful appearance, and the more they practice it, the more beautiful they will be. It has the ability to manifest a battle avatar. Only women can practice this magic skill.
No.2 on the list was the magic skill which Cersei practices.
Name of the magic skill: Succubus art of joy.
Skill description: Practitioners can not only follow the way of the taking of life-force, but also the way of wickedness and virtue. Although it can be cultivated with the help of both genders, only women can practice this magic art. This skill is practiced by clashing with men in the field of sexuality. Provided the practitioner outdoes their opponent in this clash, and plants feelings in the their hearts, they can rapidly improve their own cultivation. The body and soul of the person who has the feelings planted in his heart will be reduced to that of a mere slave of the one who planted them, and will respond to their every beck and call and grant their every plea.
'This must be what happened to the previous owner of this body.' Jon thought reading through the description.
3rd on the list was the magic skill practiced by the chief executive Minerva.
Name of the magic skill: Demon transformation art
Skill description: This magic skill transforms the practitioners into a demonic creature of great power. Practitioners become uglier the more they advance in this magic skill…
"I'm not going to practice a magic skill, that would make me ugly." Jon said out loud to himself, going down the list ignoring the Demon Transformation art.
As Jon was going down the list he saw the name Casanova Mancini on the skill description of the magic skill rank No.13 on the catalogue.
'Casanova Mancini? Isn't he the guy who paraded his extraordinary knack for memory retention all over the place?' Jon thought looking at the name.
Name of the magic skill: Enchanting Glittering Mana Art.
Skill description: It has a powerful cultivation method, that can only be practiced by handsome and elegant men. Its creation was inspired by the Succubus Art of Joy technique and Scripture of Enchantress. With this skill, a person can form mana swords of any length at their fingertips and shoot mana beams from their eyes at their foes whilst in combat. This magic skill is cultivated by being in the company of beauties almost everyday. Only when women wholeheartedly love the practitioner and follow him of their own accord can they produce beauty energy suitable for cultivation of the Enchanting Glittering Mana Art. This is a rare magic skill that is very difficult to master. Other then its creator, Casanova Mancini, very few men in the past have successfully practiced the Enchanting Glittering Mana Art.
'I didn't expect that out of all the past generation of guild leaders, he was the only one who was male, and also came up with a magic skill which is ranked 13th. It must be a very powerful magic skill to be ranked at No.13 in a guild dominated by female, even though only few men have successfully practiced it.' Jon thought after reading the description of the magic skill.
"This is the one! This skill is perfectly tailor made for me!" Jon declared pointing to the Enchanting Glittering Mana Art.
"Oh? The Enchanting Glittering Mana Art? Are you sure only a few people in past where able to practice it." Pavilion master asked in a bored tone.
"If I am not fit to cultivate it then no one in the entire world is." Jon answered.
"Yes, looking at your profile, I would say that you are qualified to practice it." Pavilion master agreed going to collect the book containing the Enchanting Glittering Mana Art.
--------------- break ---------------
After collecting the Enchanting Glittering Mana Art book from the pavilion master, Jon started to learn it inside the pavilion itself as no one was permitted to take magic skill books outside the scripture pavilion.
"Unlike the Incubus Cultivation Art, the Enchanting Glittering Mana Art is not only a cultivation method for improving internal strength, but also has more than 10 magic techniques I can perform with it. However, there are some troublesome bits in the basics of this magic art. You need to be in the company of beauties all day; Be romantic but not obscene; be passionate but not abusive… And only when you are stained with the smell of beauties this way, will the enchanting glittering mana be produced. And the fingers are compelled to expel a sword tip like essence using the enchanting glittering mana, only then the basics be learned." Jon concluded reading.
'But to be with beauties all day long… The Matriarch has went into seclusion, even if she hasn't there's only a little bit of time I can spend with the Matriarch every day, so there is no point in thinking about her. Cersei would do but she has already left for her mission, and she is not that found of me. And the other women in the guild is avoiding me because I offended the chief executive.' Jon crossed out everyone he could think of.
'It's written in the manuscript that there should be at least five beauties, but the more the better… At this rate I'll have to hook up with girls from outside. I think it would be better if I left for a mission today, there is no point in staying here to practice the Enchanting Glittering Mana Art without any women to supply the Smell of beauty.' Jon decided to go to the mission hall to collect a solo mission and leave the guild fortress in the cover of night using the secret path the Matriarch showed him.
