I woke up early again, it seems that since I came here sleeping comes natural and it is very revitalizing, maybe it is indeed like an RPG that after a night of sleep you get your HP full. Nonetheless I'm very hungry, so this time I devour my breakfast before taking a shower.
Once ready I proceed to the governance hall the apprentice that helped me yesterday guided me to the library, the elder was there focused on a very ancient looking book, in front of him there was a mountain of similarly ancient looking books.
The elder explained to me that so far there was no luck on the tinkerer job, however he had still to look on the ancient texts as he was doing now, the only issue is that since they were written in the language of the original elders it was being difficult to translate them. Of course I would not have the issue since the language orb allowed me to instant translate, so I started to read from the pile of books.
I learned many useful things from these books, basic details like how the spells and special moves from the other classes were called skills, each seed was to receive a skill once they got assigned a job, and they could learn more skills as they gained experience. Of course all the skills will be related to their job.
Also there were details on how to get experience, certain actions give the seed a very small percent of experience like casting a spell for a wizard or using a special move for a warrior, however the real experience gains came from fighting and defeating enemies, performing heroic task or overcoming a personal obstacle, RPG anyone?
The books also explained how after certain level was achieved in a job a more specialized job choice became available, there were four such opportunities, which were called enlightenments, for each class and at each enlightenment each class had the chance to choose from two options, however once a certain path was taken only the choices related to the path taken will become available at the enlightenment.
Hence the goal of the seed was to reach the fourth enlightenment which will grant the title of blossom during the year they were summoned here, as the books were written by earlier generations seeds there was no information as to what happened after the year, however this at least indicated that after a year, for good or bad the seeds left this world.
There were details about acquiring a secondary job, I learned what each one was about, however it is too soon to choose which one suits me better. These secondary jobs also have progressions, but they are simpler from apprentice to adept then to master and finally to grandmaster.
I learned some other minor details from the books but either I still need more time to digest it or it is too early in my journey for any of it to be of use.
Lunch was brought for us a bit past noon, the elder and I talked about our findings but there didn't seem to be a single clue about the tinkerer job. I was wondering if I could find out what the first skill I got was, would that provide with a clue about what the tinkerer job was, however I didn't know what my first skill was and there was no way for me to find out, well at least I didn't know of any way but then I remembered the elder.
When I asked him about finding out about my first skill, the elder smile and hit his forehead. He explained to me about minorum, spells so simple than anyone with a little bit of magical power could cast, it was just a matter of learning the right word and have at least the magical power needed to use it.
Fortunately "identify" was a minorum, and I could use. However I had seem my status yesterday and there was no mention of any skills there, the elder told me that it was because he had cast it on me, normally "identify" was used for a seed to track their own progress and if someone cast it in someone or something else, not only the magical power required will increase exponentially related to their difference in magical power but even if successfully casted only a portion of the information will be available, hence why yesterday only partial information was shown.
Of course to me the word identify didn't really match what the elder was trying to find out, maybe the first part of it, my name, level and class but the rest was more detailed information, it was more like an status display for an RPG character, I should have picked up more details on how spell were made here, specifically minorum, now that I think of it I first saw hieroglyphs, maybe the minorum are glyphs and once arranged in a certain fashion they form the spell.
As I was thinking this two weird shapes made of white smoke formed in front of me, I don't know why but I can tell this two glyphs form the "identify" spell, as it was the most natural thing to me I took out my pencil and rearrange the glyphs, now they spell "examine".
Thinking here goes nothing I use "examine" and even as nothing was expected the result was far from astonishment, this time more information came, however the format this time was different as it was more like an RPG.

Level 2? I don't remember doing anything to get experience and what about LP? Oh learning points, wait how I know that? Maybe it is because of the spell, but if I focus more on the details I can find out what each thing means. SP is status points so I can choose how to place them, I wonder how I do that; I'll ask the elder about it, but for now on the skills, I understand about "Identify" and "Examine" but why some many more? Maybe if I try to focus on them, bingo! They have description on what they do.
It seems my basic skill is [Learn], I guess not only my tool is lame also my skills, go figures… I'm supposed to be able to learn things, oh actually I'm able to learn skills, so that's how I got the other ones, there is no further details as to how to learn skills or what the actual limits are, but I'll test that later.
Wow! [Decompile] and [Compile] do look useful, they allow me to disassemble minorum and spells and then modify them to create new ones, which explains how I got "Examine", then what about [Execute]? Mmm it just allows me to cast the newly create spells, I guess it is useful after all if you don't mind the redundancy.
I explained everything to the elder, and we pieced together a plausible explanation for my weapon and my skill, of course there are still many things to find out but at least the basics are covered for now, and that should be enough for me to travel around the world, I'm sure I'll find out more about my skill and my class during my travel.
