Chapter 36
(3rd Person View!)
"How's the training going?" - Pietro asked quietly as Juri sat down.
"I'm making progress, nothing new!" - Said Juri calmly.
"Good! Now about that matter, I've prepared everything in secret, you'll just have to personally take your name off Team Chinchilla!" - Said Pietro seriously.
Juri nodded and asked the details, currently she will have supporting her, 50 people, among them will be Doctor Julia.
The goal is simple, to help all 50 people understand Mana and Magic, to teach them Mana Techniques and to better understand Spells!
In addition, there will be some ordinary people, who know about the Paranormal, but have not been affected by Paranormal Exposure.
Juri will have to help them understand Magic and see the different between someone with Negative Energy and someone without!
Juri had no problem, she took the relevant documents, before leaving and talking to Theodore, saying that she had a special mission that she had to do.
So she had no problem officially leaving Team Chinchilla, the problem was with Flavia, but she didn't react much, just thanked her for the pleasurable fun.
After that she became more distant, which Juri didn't like very much, he even wanted to take her along, but in the end, emotions would get in the way of his decisions!
So in 3 days, she took a vehicle and went to the place.
The country is large and has access to the sea, because of this, it has some small uninhabited islands.
The place they went, was one of these islands, which was the source of a large scale paranormal event in the past.
But today it is abandoned and lifeless, even though it has no more problems, so it has become a perfect place for tests and experiments.
So after 2 days, they arrived without any problems on Kastambik Island!
This island is large, about 25 km, shaped like a grand piano from above.
It has a very dense forest, a high hill, on top of which was built a mansion that is still standing, from around the 1950s.
Near the coast there is an old lighthouse, but it is broken, as well as what remains of a village.
Juri wearing only a bikini on her torso and jeans clinging to her legs, walked down on the sand of the beach and smiled.
Soon looking at the small fleet of boats and speedboats, where many people began to descend on the beach.
The small pier being unable to accommodate so many boats, so only the main one with many building materials was moored on it and people already carrying their luggage.
Juri also chose a place to start dumping the tons of materials in his Inventory.
If they were to bring everything in boats, they would have 2-3 times more than shown now.
Many looked with some surprise at Juri, but they had already received a document telling of some of her capabilities and for her being the cause of this secret mission.
So, the people instructed, began to make plans and set up camp in what was left of a village they had on this island.
Naturally they cleaned up everything before setting up camp, Juri helping in any way she could, she even made lunch for everyone since it was so early.
...
The day was more about cleaning and reconstruction work, especially in the Mansion, which was very damaged and old!
Several walls were knocked down, pillars of support fortified, many beautiful but old pieces of furniture thrown away.
All this furniture and many old items, rubble, etc., Juri threw everything into a Dungeon he created, closed it, and reopened it, seeing that everything disappeared.
After that things only continued to make progress, because while everyone else was working, Juri focused on continuing to practice and level up.
It was not yet time to start teaching others about Magic, they have too many things to do, still having to connect to the satellite signal, bring electricity and more to the island.
...
After 2 weeks, Juri had reached Level 96, not far from Level 100!
And after 2 weeks, the island was better taken care of and much of the work was finished.
So Juri with all the Skill Books at his disposal in the old library of the Mansion, began to teach them about Magic, using the theories he learned from the spell books, then slowly helped everyone to activate their Mana.
Impressively, the one who had the most affinity with Doctor Julia, but not losing to her, was a military man named Galileo.
Juri did this little session of [Feeling Mana] every 5 days, helping them as he could.
Then the first able to use the Techniques from the Skill Books emerged, demonstrating the ease in understanding the Techniques.
In addition, Juri has made the Dungeon Level 1~20 available to be explored in groups of 5 or more, where it was forbidden to consume the Skill Books, they needed to be returned for research.
If Items, Materials, etc. are found, they can stay if they wish.
In the case of Treasure Chests, the items need to be taken to Juri for evaluation.
So Juri, in a little less than a month, found himself getting his hands on several skill books, many spells were learned, but they were all basic.
But many spells started to come repeated, showing that it's hard to come up with better or different things.
But in addition, Juri got his hands on several Techniques as well, and some passive Skills!
But in the end, the focus of this quest was her understanding of Magic and ability to teach others, which was useful, was the Skill [Instruct] that reached Level 29.
With this she can significantly accelerate the progress of her students, so to speak.
The use of [Negative Energy] was in very restricted, Magic was the focus, where it proved very effective, as everyone's physique was improving significantly.
And after almost 2 months of testing and practice, Galileo was the first to acquire [Magic Power], by unlocking his first [Magic Veins]!
This excited Juri greatly, as he would now be able to cast spells, but he wasn't that interested in spells, at least not the long range ones, he focused on learning [Mana Strengthening], but for testing, he learned Fireball, Magic Missiles and others.
But he wasn't that interested in them and focused on [Mana Strengthening], just as he said that due to unlocking his Magic Veins, the flow of Mana became smoother and more stable.
Respectively, the time to cast their Techniques decreased very significantly, not to mention that more Mana is always good.
And 3 days later, Doctor Julia also unlocked the Magic Veins, but unlike Galileo, her focus was on learning the Spells.
She was somewhat afraid of the Rituals, so she focused on healing, but didn't touch on Attack Rituals and so on, but the Magic, she was quite interested in and found versatile!
She always wanted to learn the spells, but always felt something was holding her back, but by unclogging the first set of her magical veins, she found what was missing!
So the next day she cast a Fireball, where a small celebration took place from the island that day, a big barbecue, since they have a lot of meat that comes from the Dungeon!
Such a celebration would have taken place, if Galileo was not someone quite serious who does not like festivities very much.
But well, after 2 months, this was the main progress of everyone, except Juri!
As for Juri, she found herself stagnant at Level 99, needing 100 Million XP to reach Level 100!
Her XP simply jumped from 277,200 to 100,000,000!
Currently she has accumulated about 4.2 Million, showing that Juri was a bit discouraged by such an absurd XP requirement.
Of course, surpassing this barrier should bring many benefits, but since she doesn't want to spend 24 hours inside the Dungeon to gather 100 million XP, she has decided to go ahead and kill 100 Level 50 Monsters every day, slowly she will reach the requirement and reach Level 100.
But besides this prank, as soon as Juri sees her, she also succeeded in finding the 4th set of Magic Veins, unlocking them!
With this, Juri became even more proficient in Magic, but in the end, it was all pretty slow, since she was learning everything on her own!
She wanted to develop her own Magic, but she needed creativity and ability to do so.
And it's not as if she could do anything using Mana, that would become a Magic.
She still needs to understand more of the Elements, which as far as she can understand, is present in the air just like Mana.
But Juri is unable to sense the Elements in the air through her [Meditation] which doesn't get out of Level 99!
But why did she learn [Fireball] and other Elemental Spells?
The answer is simple, the Spells have certain sets of runic words, where you don't need to understand, just memorize, so your Mana will be able to gather the respective Element to shape the spell!
And due to a lack of understanding of the Elements or Magic Runes, it is impossible to develop Elemental or complex Spells!
...
In a decorated and spacious room, Juri was eating the leftovers from yesterday's barbecue, when someone comes up to her, Gabriela!
Gabriela arrived 8 days ago on the island, having finished her mission and now part of the Mana researchers.
Gabriela already had successes in Mana management, so when she understood what the [Magic Veins] were, she unlocked them in no time, she even said she found the 2nd set, but didn't test it, as she feels she is not strong enough for such.
But since she arrived, the interaction between the two has not been great, Juri is still shaken by what happened, even though Gabriela is not bothered.
Now, Gabriela's reason for coming to her is simple.
"Many want to know when the next Dungeon the Magical will appear!" - Gabriela said sitting up.
"When a Healing Spell drops from the current Dungeon, or when at least 10 people have unlocked the 1st set of Magic Veins!" - Said Juri eating the spicy sausage.
But before Gabriela got up to leave, Juri said. - "My fear is about what we might encounter, since currently the creatures we face have Mana, lots of it, but are unable to use it, not least because they are animals and have low intelligence.
But I am facing in my personal Dungeon, Bears that are 3.5 times stronger than that Boar we faced in the first exploration, these creatures even though they are not intelligent, are able to use their Mana and Techniques to do even more damage!
But the Dungeon with real Magic Creatures, means that they know how to use it in many ways, and can have intelligent creatures and even humanoids among them!
But my real fear, is that due to the complexity of Mana, creatures may arise that can only be damaged by a specific element of Mana, that's why I want the [Healing], just in case we find something of the Dark Element or similar, you never know!" - Juri said without looking at her.
Gabriela nodded, before leaving and informing some people.
(Note: The Magic System and manual spell learning is complex, simple and meaningless, so practically ignore it.
But if you want a more reasonable explanation, let's say she is creating a new path of magic and if she can, others end up being able to do the same.)
