Chương 33: Chapter 33: The Witch and Champion (1)
~Albus POV~
Ah~
A good day's rest is very welcoming after yesterday on Saturday. It has been a good time leveling up my skills as I have my skills but currently, it's the morning as I already did my grinding for the night as usual.
But this time I took time to raise my INT stats as I need to grind it up. So I used my time wisely reading the histories of Remnant with some cheese and crackers on the side.
Quite fascinating really but always expanding my knowledge in the process of the Grimm also about these so-called classes. But the strongest of them seem to be Nightmare Classes since not much is known about them.
Nightmare Classes are how to say… literal monsters made of nightmares. Like Creepy Pasta level scary even with a hint
There are only a few of them discussed only in legends in certain areas in the world and a few that move around but no such thing about them. Really peculiar creatures really but something I wouldn't want to face unless I had to.
Shaking my head at that I managed to gain some info about them and other Grimm for the studies in Beacon Academy reports along with Ruby helping study along together. The only amount I raised my INT stats is +4 leaving me with a nice total of 62 INT.
I also took the liberty of copying down the contents of 'Aura Drain' and 'Fear' into pieces of a paper word for word in case I can use them later to teach my teammates. For now, they'll be safe in my inventory.
But I began to gather the new rewards I got from the Boss battle against the Deathstakler as I glance at the Skill Book: 'Fear' and the other one 'Aura Drain' as I see the window pop up for the two.
[You obtained the skill book 'Aura Drain.' Would you like to learn this skill?]
[You obtained the skill book 'Fear.' Would you like to learn this skill?]
Accepting them I saw the process of the two vanish into flashes of lights quickly breaking down into my head as I began to understand the skills I obtain. Next, I see the windows pop up as I see it appear describing them.
---
<Fear> (Passive) Lv.1 Exp: 0.0%
This skill is obtained when using the Skill Book 'Fear.' Obtaining this skill allows the user to create a presentation of a powerful Grimm to anyone nearby allowing them to be afraid of you if they think they are afraid of you. The chances of this working 1%.
<Aura Drain> (Passive/Active) Lv.1 Exp: 0.0%
This skill allows the user to drain the AP of others and restore their own AP. You can passively choose to drain aura for extended periods of time or actively chooses to activate the skill when you want to.

Hmm…
These skills will certainly have a good effect on me in the future but for now though…
But what does the title Supporter does anyway?
Let's see what the title says and what does it have for bonuses.
---
Title: Supporter
This Title grants the perks of the Gamer to allow any party member that is with the Gamer in their party to passively gain a stats boost of 20% during battle and increase the recovery rate of 10% of HP and AP outside of battle.

Placing the copied books into my inventory I began to see everyone wake up again as I'm already up waiting for them as I read the scroll about current events happening, "Morning everyone. How was your nap?"
Nora yawns happily at this as she mumbles pieces to herself as everyone heard her, "Ahh~ Man that was a good dream. Pancakes as far as I can see. Oh? Morning everyone."
Nodding at this Ruby gets up as she began to get her clothes then enter the bathroom she greeted everyone with a smile on her face, "Morning everyone. I'm going ahead taking a shower oh! Al, me and Nora are going to Vale today to resupply our ammo, and thanks for the Lien for the expenses!"
Raising my eyebrow at this getting the other members' attention I couldn't help but raise my glasses hearing that name as I studder, "A-Al…? What's with the nickname Rubes?"
She then became nervous as she scratches the back of her head at this as she confessed to the nickname, "Oh! Hehehe… Well, I thought that your name Albus is a mouthful, and speaking by your last name Goodwitch is kind of weird since we have Glynda… but if it – "
Quickly interrupting her while waving my arms at her as I genuinely feel happy about it as I replied to her, "No. No worries Ruby. Actually… I have never been called Al before as a nickname. Hohoho… in hindsight though it should've been obvious that I would be called that. Al… I kind of like it."
This makes Ruby blush light as she nods happily as she enters inside as Nora mischievously answered the unsaid in the room, "You two are totally in for each other. I can tell… go get her tiger! Rawr~"
Turning my head around I'm not going to confirm it but won't deny that miss Rose is cute and all but we have only known each other for two weeks. Pyrrha took this moment as she looked… happy with the situation?
I guess that was normal I suppose but for now, though I was busy packing some things again to hopefully get the next level up soon.
While I would like to have my teammates join me in my grinding times I would rather do it solo mostly because of the fact that I need to do my own battles eventually. Besides that, I need to further practice my skills anyway.
But till I reach a safe enough level to try though I'll just take their help for the time being.
Shaking my head a bit at this I saw that everyone got up in the morning as I greeted them…
…
…
Later were all at the table talking the usual in the morning for breakfast as Nora and Ruby explained to Pyrrha about the encounter we had in the Emerald Forest as she had a surprised expression on her face.
Pyrrha then looked at me with some concern as she asked the obvious question to me as she talks to me, "Uh… Albus… You aren't planning on returning to the Emerald Forest again to train correct?"
Replying to her question I replied to her with a nod as I spoke to her about what I intended to do, "That's the plan. Ruby and Nora need to have they're resupplies of ammo. The fight with the Deathstalker wasn't what I expected."
Ruby chimes in on the fight as she overexerted the fight as well while commenting on buying new Dust Shells, "Yeah. I mean a Deathstalker is usually taken with teams, not three men but we managed. Still, though the fight left us without much ammo left. Still, though the Grimm was really strong."
Nora was next to talk opening her arms wide and overboard of how the fight went as she grins happily at this, "Yeah! It was crazy big for a Deathstalker! But we showed that nasty bug a thing or two! We went wah! Wham! Bam! And that! You get it right!!"
"Hahaha…"
We all laughed at that but it was a good feeling seeing that despite the danger. Maybe my LUCK did give me good members to have in my team as I responded, "Hohoho. I agree while extremely reckless on my part we did grow stronger for it. Quite literally in fact. Shame you didn't appear when I arrived though we could've made a killing with you around."
Ruby and Nora nod at this as with Pyrrha it would've made the group fight against the Deathstalker a lot easier. But sometimes life doesn't go that way.
Next was Nora as she frowns while eating a stack of pancakes as she complains about the overuse of firepower on the boss, "Sigh… The fight was great and managed to say level up but… The ammo cost is going to pay a lot. Especially with the Dust Economic drops happening lately making it hard for the students to collect Dust. Were just lucky with Albus here to have any and some spares."
Really?
Actually come to think of it Roman should be the one doing that so Nora's words aren't that far off.
Ruby then glances at Nora with some mild surprise but also understanding as she pats her friend's shoulder, "What! You actually understand the economics! But at least we share the same pain of ammo though."
Next was Nora's shocked expression then turned to the pride of herself in the next mood as she spoke to Ruby, "What! Of course, I know silly! I mean you have to be pretty smart to pass Beacon written exam and tests! I and Ren always tried our very best. But then again what can I expect from a girl who thinks cookies are better than pancakes is blasphemy?"
Oh boy, here we go again.
Ruby hearing such Hersey expressed an actual disgusted look and betrayal as she fully expressed herself countering Nora Pancakes belief, "Gasp! Nora take that back! No way is pancakes are better! How could fluffy loads mushiness can be compared to the righteous ways of cookies!"
"Hohoho."
Uncontrollably laughing at the scene as the two bicker Pyrrha glances at me before I heard a question I should've seen coming but still surprised me, "Since Nora and Ruby are going to be busy Al… how about I help you level up in a party are you fine with that?"
Huh?
Game on.
