Volume 6 Chapter 310 - Status Update
Hearing their decision, Kisuke gave the group entering the Dungeon a token each, "If you break this, Yoruichi and I will be able to detect it so use this when you\'re in danger. We\'ll immediately come to your side. But keep in mind that there might be some accident and we won\'t be able to detect it even after its activation or environment that prevents signals from going out. And even then, we would need a minute or two to arrive."
This is the disadvantage of having someone very strong on their side. If Kisuke and Yoruichi don\'t deliberately leave them alone, they won\'t be able to experience the hardships of life and death experiences which is essential in the kind of world they live in. Even though both of them are worried, they had to do this if they want to follow their steps.
The girls received it and clutched it in their hands. They don\'t want to rely on Kisuke forever and save them whenever they\'re in danger. But even then, they knew there are things that they can\'t be stubborn about and their lives should be their top priorities, "We won\'t be using this until we exhaust every option we have…" Sona said after looking into Kisuke\'s eyes.
Kisuke nodded at her and patted her head, "That\'s fine… However, before you dive in, make sure that you\'ve prepared everything." What he didn\'t tell them, however, is the fact that the token has emergency features that could block fatal and strong attacks for a minute or two and would inform both Kisuke and Yoruichi of its activation without them breaking it. He didn\'t tell them because he didn\'t want them to think that their lives are not in immediate danger, making them not careful enough.
"Before you go, why don\'t you wait until I update Kisuke-kun\'s status?" Hestia stopped them from leaving.
Curious, they decided to stay behind and see what sort of improvement Kisuke will receive after an update as they heard that the excelia only takes effect after it.
Agreeing to her proposal, Kisuke took off his upper garment and laid down on his chest. Hestia did the same when she\'s granting them Falna but instead of writing hieroglyphs, she just pulled out his status and activated the dormant excelia to become part of his Falna.
After feeling what\'s happening, Kisuke\'s guesses were further affirmed that the act of updating is in fact Gods processing the data and giving it back to the Adventurer in the form of strengthening their physical abilities. And since the Falna he has doesn\'t have Magic, Skill, and Developmental Ability sections, all the excelia that supposed to go their went to his status resulting in another boost. So when Hestia finished updating his status, her mouth couldn\'t help but twitch, \'I already heard from others how much a child could improve in a certain amount of time… But this is just… ridiculous… If others were to know of this, they will all scramble to invite him…\'
Hestia then gave him his update status which read,
Kisuke Urahara
Level 1
STR: I 50 --] H 179
VIT: I 50 --] I 98
DEX: I 50 --] G 202
AGI: I 50 --] H 198
MAG: I 50 --] I 68
His overall stats increased by 495 points in just a single day.
The moment his status was updated, Kisuke immediately noticed the changes in the \'nerves\' that the Falna created. The stocked up excelia, which is in the form of Mana, immediately disappeared as it nourished the body along with the \'nerves\' becoming larger. These changes intrigued Kisuke so much that he wanted to study the logic behind it immediately, but he knew that he can\'t do that right now as he needs to finish his other projects first. The only thing he could do is to make sure that there isn\'t any hidden danger from all of this.
"This is a pretty skewed improvement…" Yoruichi commented when reading his status.
"Well, all I did is to dodge and strike, so this is expected."
"Do I have to aim for a build?" Aika asked. She\'s thinking that there\'s some sort of limit and she only needs to increase the parameter most useful to her.
"No… It\'s better if you increase everything. Although it\'ll take some time, that\'s not a problem for us who can control Mana directly. If you can control the Mana that the Falna provides to do some burst of strength and speed or casting some random magic that matches the situation, you can go against much stronger monsters, which in turn, provides you more excelia."
"I see… If you want to improve your strength, you can just focus you Mana on brute strength and that should be the same with others except for Magic which will increase as long as you control your Mana." Sona muttered.
"So the problem is increasing Vitality… If it follows the same logic as others, then we could have to take some damage for us to actually increase it." Koneko added.
"There are two approaches you can take regarding that. First is to boost your defenses using Mana and the other is to keep fighting monsters until you use up your stamina… Both are dangerous so only increase your Vitality when other parameters are already high so that you can react whenever there is something wrong. If your Magic parameter is high, you could also dedicate more defense powers."
Sona then started plotting the actions that the three of them should take in regards to the Dungeon, but there\'s still one point that is bothering her, "Say, Kisuke… It\'s impossible for us to hide the fact that we could use Mana directly from others forever… What\'s your opinion on teaching it to others?"
Kisuke smiled at her question, "Nothing, really… In fact, the more people who know this method, the less unique we\'ll appear from others… But still, I\'ll leave it to you a lot on how you\'d decide on things."
"I\'m happy that you\'re trusting us that much, but what if we bring you trouble? A trouble so big that we would have no choice but to rely on you?"
Grinning, Kisuke replied with confidence, "That\'s fine~! Go make some trouble~! Making mistakes is part of the learning curve. Once you\'ve experienced trouble, you would know what to do. Just remember, we always got your back no matter what you do." An adventure of their own, that is what Kisuke wants.
"Wait… Although decreasing your uniqueness is good, but don\'t you think it\'s a bad idea to teach others your trump card?" Hestia asked in concern.
"That\'s not the case at all, Hestia-sama~. Mana control is just a basic technique for us~. So it\'s fine if they knew how to control directly the Mana." Kisuke replied, \'It\'s not really a great thing… After all, it\'s the Gods that stopped the people of this world to develop such a technique… Their over-reliance on Falna is what stops them from advancing their technology despite having a thousand of years of history…\'
