Chapter 99 Learning New Skills Part 2

After learning the four small skills, it was now time for Rishi to follow the next step, which was learning the last small skill.

The guide's fifth small skill was called the 'traceless' skill; it was a skill that removed the user's traces, making it difficult for his opponents to track him down.

The basic idea behind this skill was to use mana to cover the bottom area of your legs, after which you also have to cast this skill which removed your traces from the five small skills this was the most challenging skill for him to master, but when he mastered in two weeks the result was more than satisfactory.

He had reached the final chapter of the Guide after mastering all of his stealth-related skills, which was about combining all of these skills to achieve an effect similar to stealth; it was a combo technique called 'Disappear.' This sounded great, but Rishi knew how complicated it was to pull it off; the difficulty was reduced because all these skills were basic skills, but it was still tricky.

Rishi practiced it for three weeks straight to finally see success. After another week of practice, he could enter a semi-stealth state, but Rishi was pleased because the guide stated that stealth was a technique, not a skill, and would improve over time. The more Rishi practiced it; the greater was its effect.

He was confident that he would be able to master this combo skill before the exam.

Rishi could not spend more than two hours preparing for his 'Magic Beast Cultivation' exam due to the chaos of learning so many new skills and training all day; Rishi called Ajit for advice on where he could find a good teacher.

"Rishi, you called after so many weeks," Ajit said as he picked up the phone. "What is your current issue?"

"Ouch, that hurts a lot. Are you saying I only call you when I need something?" Rishi asked, his voice solemn.

"Why don't you call me when you're in need?" Ajit stated.

"That's because I see you daily; why would I ask unnecessary questions?" Rishi said.

"Ask fast; I honestly don't have much time," Ajit said.

"I need to study for an exam and am looking for a tutor," Rishi explained.

"For an academy exam, go to the academy app; there is an option to hire a tutor there, and many senior students are there," Ajit replied.

"Thank you, Bro; I'll give you a treat tomorrow," Rishi said.

"Now that's better; I'll wait, then bye," Ajit said.

"Bye," Rishi said as he hung up the phone.

Rishi downloaded the app and selected the tutor option; many options appeared, such as selecting the course and tutor's gender. Rishi chose the magic beast cultivation and female option because he was tired of all the boys around him and wanted a good, beautiful tutor to guide him and heal his loneliness.

Many profiles of different tutors appeared individually, but Rishi didn't find even one that he liked; some didn't have good ratings, some weren't visually appealing, and some weren't very knowledgeable. There was only one more category left: the expensive tutors, but money was not an issue for Rishi.

He began scrolling and discovered many good teachers, but the best was a third-year girl; she was very skilled but always wore a veil to hide the lower part of her face. Rishi could tell from the visible part that this senior was very attractive.

He saw a video of her explaining a very well-done topic; she covered all of the essential parts and even gave her insights; she also listed the important topics that could be asked in the exam.

Rishi purchased her course and mailed her about his requirements and problems. He also informed her that he is busy all day and only has two hours of free time at night. After some time, he received a response saying that if he was available, she could take the class from 9 to 11 p.m. Rishi, who had been busy all day, replied that he would be waiting for her guidance.

The evening went on as usual. Rishi spent an hour playing with his friends; it was the only thing in his routine that relieved his stress. After dinner, Rishi arrived one minute early for the online lecture but discovered that the tutor had not arrived until now.

Rishi waited one more minute; she arrived on time and began teaching without any introduction. Rishi didn't bother her either; he was ready with his computer, taking notes. She began with the fundamentals and meticulously explained everything; Rishi couldn't see her face, but her voice was very pleasant.

She was dressed in a black hoodie, from which her pink hair fell, and her eyes were yellow, making her look stunning even with the veil. Rishi had some reservations, which he voiced in between.

She answered all of his questions before moving on; Rishi wasn't bored for a second because she taught well. Before exiting the video call, she asked Rishi to review everything she had taught him today before attending the class tommorow. Before going to bed, Rishi spent half an hour reviewing what she had taught.

Rishi also registered for the toxicology class in the morning the next day to learn more about poisons; A renowned poison expert taught this class. He taught his students everything they needed to know about poisons and how they affected human and magic beast bodies.

He also explained how to develop poison resistance by consuming mixed compounds made up of small amounts of various poisons; Rishi was aware of this because he had consumed it daily for ten years before stopping. He asked the professor how a person with little immunity could boost its effects.

The professor told the class that those with inherent poison immunity could create a compound with mid-grade poisons; the class went on, and Rishi learned a lot. This two-month course was open to students from any job class.

Today was the same for Rishi; after class, he did the same thing he did the day before: he reviewed what he had learned in class before going to bed, closing his and started thinking about what he could have done better.

This stressful period lasted two more months, during which Rishi also learned the 'backstab' skill and many archery skills; the exams were drawing closer and closer until Rishi realized there was only one week until the half-yearly exam. Everyone in the academy was dedicated and worked hard all day.

Many changes have been made in the past few months in the All-STARS guild, too; they have recruited three new members; one was Aman, who played the role of the Tank, while the other two had the Assasin and Battle Mage class.
