198 Learning About Skill Proficiency
—–
After the events that transpired between both Alice and me when we made a familiar contract without realizing, I suddenly woke up.
It was already the morning of the next day, and Aquarina was still sleeping soundly at my side.
I realized that somehow, I felt stronger, I checked my Soul and found that the Magic Circle had been enhanced, it gained a dozens of runes, specifically bright ones, are these from Alice?
And... Eh? I seem to have even increased two Ranks in one sitting all thanks to these accumulated runes made from our familiar pact!
Wow, amazing, so I am Tier 2 Rank 3 Magician! I am already way above the average joe in terms of magical power now!
...Well, I was already like that even before this, Ember and Agriculture are big cheats, especially when paired with Mana Usage.
However, now that I wonder about it, I remember that Alice said that Mana Usage getting Level Up ability wouldn’t be as great as the other Skills because it would be “more of the same” and she had even said that my Mana was already regulated by her, so there wasn’t any need for the moment.
Also, by just leveling that Skill my body won’t be able to suddenly harbor infinite quantities of Mana, so I cannot go overboard even then, and it was better to just pick the other more active skills that can take a more “active” role in the battlefield or in the utility of day-to-day activities.
.....
So I ended picking up Agriculture, I am going to become a Farm Girl! Well, I already got the Farmer Job Class for a long time anyways, so we’ll make sure to make it shine.
But how?
Eh, I don’t know, I have to first make the Skill level up a couple of times before I can even see anything new popping up, so its going to take a long time.
So how do... I level up a Skill, anyways?
I checked the Skill once more while Aquarina was sleeping, although I really don’t know if others can see through the System windows like I can.

I see, it has a Skill proficiency with a zero and a slash... and then there is the rest of the numbers? Does this means I need to reach that number for the Skill to level up?
Suddenly, the voice of Alice whispered to my mind.
“Yes, that’s right, Sylphy. You have to repeatedly use a Skill to gain proficiency. There are also other ways to do this, battling might also give Skill Proficiency if you use that one skill, giving you a greater bonus.” Said Alice.
“I see...! Let’s see... Erm, I guess I need a target to use the Skill... Ah, there is a small grass there, isn’t it?” I said, as I jumped out of the bed and saw a small grass growing at the side of the tent.
I touched it and used Agriculture, a second after that, a bright green light encompassed the tiny grass, and it grew a few centimeters.
Let’s go back to the Skill and see...

Oh! I gained 1 point by just doing that? A tiny enhancement gives so little... But I got infinite mana, so as long as it is not so taxing, I can keep enhancing plants forever until I reach the next level.
“Yes, that’s right. The God designed this System very unfairly, I have no idea how it is possible for something to grow stronger just by being used repeatedly, but don’t blame me, that’s how he designed this weird rule.” Said Alice.
“I see, no that’s fine, I am glad it is like that! I will just keep repeatedly using this in this tiny grass while Aquarina sleeps!” I said.
As I continued to make the grass slowly grow, I gained one little point more of proficiency, I could do this every five seconds approximately, so it would take me... a bit over an hour to get it to Level 2 if I am not interrupted at all! Wow, this is easy as it can get. I thought it was going to take me a long while.
POOF!
POOF!
POOF!
POOF!
The grass continued to grow a centimeter at a time as time went on as fast as it could possibly go, and over time, it ended being over an hour, and Aquarina finally woke up.
I assume by the sun barely showing up that it is around 9 AM at most...
“S-Sylphy? Why are you growing that grass so big?! It is already several meters long!” said Aquarina, waking up and finding a single grass leaf which I ended making it grow so long it seemed like a rope.
“Hahaha... I was practicing magic, you see, they always say that practice is very important! So I am just continuously conjuring magic.” I said.
“W-Without even chanting?” she asked.
“Yeah, its cheap easy...” I said.
“Unbelievable...” sighed Aquarina.
I checked into the Skill once more and saw the changes...

Oh, I am almost getting there already! This System is really easy to handle when you finally unlock the overpowered cheats... Hopefully the proficiency doesn’t keep increasing too much...
“It will...” said Alice.
Ah...
