Chron woke up feeling more refreshed than ever before. He doesn't know if the fact that he slept for twelve hours straight helped with his current state, or if it was the Mana that was the cause of it. He was leaning more on the idea that the Mana was the cause of his fast recovery.
What baffled him more, was that he still knew that twelve hours passed even though he's asleep during that time, which made him a bit depressed about his situation, because he would be aware every second of the day of how many hours he spent on this prison, and how many days he still has left to stay here.
"Enough of that depressing stuff! I finally got all the Magic I have been searching for all my life and all this sulking will just hinder my progression," Chron cheered himself up with choice words and a slap to his cheeks to wake himself up.
Chron's action helped ignite his motivation once again and made him focus once more on the more important matters at hand, which was leveling up his Job Skill: Status Viewing. So he started willing his Status to show up then make it disappear again, he repeated this same action for a minute, and he learned one important thing, that is grinding this kinds of skills is BORING.
Add to the fact that, Chron is the type of person that was accustomed to doing all types of activities and would die if he was tied down, having to sit through the boring and repetitive process of using Status Viewing was hellish.
So he stopped what he was repetitively doing and thought of ways he could spice up his training maybe and help him get over his boredom. The first Chron thought of was to move and Walk while doing his boring training. So Chron walked around and tried again to open and close his Status, what was weird was that he could feel some part of his brain was straining slightly every time he opens his Status.
At first he just ignored the feeling, but after an hour of his training, the feeling just became worse and worse to the point that, the little bit of straining became a full on headache every time he opens his Status. The headache was worth it though because both his Status Viewing and Walking Skills finally leveled up.
[Status Viewing Lvl 1 –> Status Viewing Lvl 2]
[Walking Lvl 1 –> Walking Lvl 2]
[Job: Jack of All Trades Lvl 1 –> Job: Jack of All Trades Lvl 2]
With his Skill Leveling Up, he could finally connect one more Skill to his Job, and he could finally test out his theory.

Chron's theory is that maybe instead of Combining his Skills without any reason, what if he just Combines them only when the Skills are turned into Job Skills, that way he could maybe lessen the Skills he would need to Level Up, to Level Up his Job.
Theory is just a theory though, and it would never be proven true without action. So Chron thought long and hard about which Skill would be the most compatible to Status Viewing, and his conclusion was the Clear Memory Skill. The Status Viewing Skill, based on Chron's observation during his training is a mental related Skill due to the headaches he felt before, which he attributed to him using his brain beyond his mental capabilities. The Clear Memory Skill, on the other hand can also be said to be a mental Skill because memories are stored in the brain, that's all.
So without further ado, Chron connected his Clear Memory Skill to his Job then tried to Combine his 2 Job Skills.
[Job1 Skill: Status Viewing = Job1 Skill: Clear Memory, Compatibility Percentage: 30%, the percentage is not enough for combination, if the user still wants to continue, you can pick a main skill between the 2 to assimilate the other Skill. Once a Skill is assimilated, the Assimilated Skill will disappear and some of its characteristics will be carried onto the Main Skill. Only the most compatible characteristics will be carried onto the Main Skill]
When the notification came up, Chron was a bit disappointed, his Status Viewing Skill is essential for his sanity right now, it is the only indication of him making progress towards something during his isolation, and without it he would be driven crazy. The Clear Memory Skill on the other hand is one of the things that connects him to his past that he possibly couldn't ever go back to.
Chron's past can be said to be full of ups and downs, there is a lot of memories he doesn't wanna lose, like his deceased parents that supported him through all his craziness, but there is also some things he wanna leave behind in the past like all the disappointment that followed every time he realized how mediocre he was.
After remembering his past, Chron became more determined about one thing. He doesn't want to be mediocre anymore, and instead of holding on so dearly about his past he would use it to be the best in his brand new life. Losing his Clear Memory Skill might mean that he would have a harder time to remember stuff, and he knows that it would bite him in the long run because all the Skills he learned was in stored in his memories and would need to be dug up.
He, however is already determined to assimilate his Clear Memory Skill to the Status Viewing Skill, because he doesn't wanna be tied down by his past ever, and this is just his first step to living his current life to the fullest.
[Job1 Skill: Clear Memory is assimilated into Job1 Skill: Status Viewing]
There, he did it. Chron, who was still driven by his emotions looked at what happened to his new Status Viewing Skill.

Seeing his new Skill Chron knew, he fckd up. "Sigh* I should not have done that impulsively, what's done is done I'm not perfect, at least I can now perfectly remember my past Statuses *side eye*."
Though still a bit salty about his blunder, Chron still tried to look at the bright side, which was because his Status Viewing Skill Leveled Up his Job also leveled up, which means he could connect one more Skill to his Job. The Skill he picked was Mana Guidance, and his thought behind that was maybe if he combine Mana Blood and Mana Guidance, he could more easily circulate Mana Blood through his body.
