Chapter 14: Arts
I look at Luna and saw that she's coiling in my shoulder comfortably. My brain is going through imagining a lot of viable roots when she evolves. Can she evolve and become a dragon I wonder if that is possible. It would be hard to evolve it into a western dragon with 4 legs and 2 big wings I assume. Maybe it would be easier to evolve it to Chinese Dragon with a 100-meter long body and ferocious claw. But I still have to help her comprehend flying no matter what choice I made between the two. Maybe I could help her evolve and grow extra heads and become a hydra, she doesn't have to comprehend flying that way. Well, that's a long way down the line it's would not make a difference if she becomes a small hydra or a 1-meter long snake. She has to grow up first to at least a decent size.
"You said there's 2 difference between soul pet and puppet what is the second one?"
"Soul pet has a predetermined growth stats and they usually have 1 or 2 predetermined skills so it would lean to 1 way when it grows. Although what I say so far kinda make a soul pet look weak they have advantages due to their bloodline. They usually have traits that match their preference really well and as she is a puppet, you did not get to take advantages of it. So it depends on your luck whether she get good traits or not. That's all the information and deduction I have about puppet, Most of them are already confirmed theory while the other we still collecting data. We got so much data even though it was a rare skill due to numerous comparison with people who get a soul pet. You're really lucky to not get an unknown skill that we didn't have any knowledge on"
When my father said something about Luna's trait I remember that I have not checked it yet. I move my right hand to the front of my face and open the status tab. Oh, the affinity went up a bit that's a good thing now let see what traits that she get. Hopefully, it's a good one.

"What the hell? Why does one of her traits descriptions be super weird?"
"Hah? Let me see, let me see" my father said excitedly want to discover something new.
I send the information on my comlink to my father comlink and his face brighten up as he looks at his comlink. He mumbles about stuff and got into a trance fiddling his comlink while discovering the new thing he got. I saw he sends the data on his screen to other people I guess to his college. It gave me chill thinking what if the government decides to study Luna and her traits so she would be dissected in a lab somewhere. Then again I know my father is not that kind of people who would do anything for research he's a game developer for god sake, not some creepy scientist. Maybe he's just asking his fellow game developer of what is wrong with the system or something.
"Well look's like you're really a lucky aren't you. I asked a couple of my friends about Luna traits and we have no data on devour trait as it's a first one to appear even after 1 year of experiment and hundreds of testers. We have a couple of cases that similar to this and one of them have some kind of relationship with a mutation. All of the skill and traits that have an association with the mutation is always a mystery because of a lot of possible ways for it to develop."
"Well, I guess I can only figure this out later. So do you have any information about how to improve the comprehension of our the skill, Dad?"
"I don't really have enough information about your puppet skill. My theory it would be similar to how to raises a soul pet comprehension skill and you only need to raise your affinity. As for your instrument mastery it's kinda similar to other tool mastery skill just figure it out how to make them useful. The more you find out ways to utilize it the more comprehension you'll get from it. Compare to other instrument mastery is a bit more unique as you can fight and bash your enemy with them. So I suggest you create some arts using the instrument mastery as a base then you'll be good."
"What is an art? How do you create them?"
"Right your teacher has not explained it to you. Well might as well explain the theory first but if you want to know how to create them you have to experience it yourself later in school. The theory behind a skill and an art is like a knowledge and an implementation. For example, if you have a fire manipulation skill there are various uses of that skill that you can implement. Make a fireball, make a firewall, cover your weapon with fire, breath fire from your mouth, cover part of your body or hell you can even try to cover all of your body with it."
My eyes shine as I hear my father said that I can create something like that. I get itchy wanting to try it as soon as possible. Noticing the look on my face my father pop m bubble of imagination and put me back on track
"Bear in your mind that there's are various levels of difficulty depending on what art you're creating. There is also a danger that comes along when you researching how to create your own arts so be cautious and don't rush thing too far and try to create a comet or something on your first try."
"YOU CAN MAKE A COMET??????"
"In theory, yes. Comet is just a lump of stone that covered with fire and moves at super high speed. In practice, well good luck creating that because so many things could go wrong as a comet implement so many factors. First, you got to create a lump of stone that can resist fire without disintegrating while still discharging the heat from the said fire. Second, you have to have enough momentum to move that comet towards your destination or it would just squash you down. And last you have to create a fire that can move at high speed without goes out."
"Hmmmmmm, so to make a comet you have to combine fire manipulation, earth manipulation and something like energy manipulation to move it? It's like arts are an active skill while the skill is a passive one that buff the said skill."
"Well you can say it like that but remember what I say it's only the theory you'll learn to create it later in your school. Albert, I'll give you one advice about all these shenanigans that were going on and you have to always remember this ok. There are many ways to become strong, don't stuck on how other people can strong and just find your own strength. You're bound to fail if you only follow other people way to the dot. It might be easier to follow other but it would be better to have something that fits yourself. It doesn't mean that you can't learn from other just don't blindly follow it as it can have a price that you're not willing to pay."
"Got it I'll remember it," I said as I see a seriousness in my father eye. He asked me about Alice's skill and i said the weird thing about her skill changing from very rare to multiple rare skills. He asked Alice to show him her status skill and when he sends it to some of his friends his comlink starts ringing like a Christmas theme song on the end of the years. He rejected most of them but there are 2-3 times where he answers them before they stop ringing altogether. He scratches his chin and calls Alice to sit with us on the table before he starts explaining again.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Pleki
Pleki I was thinking about splitting the status and skill screen because it just makes me feel like I will forget to adjust it at some point and mess everything up. Will try to do 1 simple changing line if there's a slight change in their skill or when they raise the affinity but I think I still need to split the status and skills as there are more character that has not been introduced and splitting xP
