Memorize

To conclude, the kids couldn't master sensing in just one day. Not even the one hour I requested; Yun-Jung collapsed after managing the longest time of 28 minutes. Honestly, considering it was their first attempt, it was commendable, but I intentionally refrained from saying anything.

As a pioneering city, the small town of Mule only had the buildings that existed when it was discovered. Even the newly constructed buildings were just the essential ones. There were no places where training could be specialized like in a big city. Therefore, for the time being, I planned to focus solely on sensing training.

While the kids were undergoing this training, I stepped out of the inn under the pretext of gathering information. Even though I remembered the past, there was no guarantee that the information I had was accurate. Moreover, it was best to verify small details before moving on, rather than relying on vague memories of significant events. However, there was something I needed to resolve before moving.

Before taking action, I first headed to the storage designated for players. The player-exclusive storage could be thought of as an inventory that couldn't be carried around. Since it was classified as a in the Hall Plain, it was a personal space that no one else could touch, but there was a restriction that only items purchased with GP could be stored there.

Remembering the location of the player-exclusive storage, I slowly examined the items inside. I felt it was better to use everything I could right now instead of saving it for later. I pulled out all the elixirs and, without further thought, dumped them all into my mouth.

''Using Angel's Tears. An additional 6 points have been added to your stats.''

''Using the Vitality-Boosting Elixir. Vitality points have increased by 2.''

''Using Arcane Elixir. An additional skill point has been added to your ability.''

Seeing the messages pop up in order, I couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. Eager to check my information, I immediately loaded the player information window.

Looking at my current stats, abilities, and remaining points filled me with both pride and a sense of unfamiliarity. A peculiar thrill, one I couldn't experience in my first life, seemed to seize my body.

Boss monster points: 2. Angel's Tears: 6 points. Vitality Boosting Elixir: 2 points. Player mission reward: 4 points. Excluding the 2 points from the Vitality Boosting Elixir, I had a total of 12 spare points left. Additionally, I had one point remaining to increase my latent ability ranks.

I still couldn't decide where to invest my stat points. Logically, it made sense to invest in Vitality. However, emotionally, I found myself increasingly drawn to strength, magic power, and agility. I wasn't even trying to resist the urge. This dilemma was similar when considering my ability points. It was frustrating to know I couldn't invest in my unique ability.

The stats were Strength, Resistance, Agility, Vitality, and Magic Power.

The latent abilities were close combat mastery, Last Man Standing, and Mind's Eye (correct).

Others—no, players—would throw stones at me if they found my happy dilemma.

In the end, unable to make a decision, I decided to postpone it again. Since I had absorbed everything into my body, I could raise them whenever necessary. I wanted to think it over more, and since I didn't know what situations might arise in the future, I felt it was wise to prepare for difficult scenarios.

I briefly considered storing the sword and elixir in the player storage for the time being. Both were late-game equipment, so I wouldn't need to take them out or use them in the early stages. Moreover, even if the sword looked ordinary, if a player with a keen eye for exploration-related professions saw it, it could lead to troublesome situations. Once I acquired a spatial storage—an emblem of high-level players—I could retrieve them then. Taking out 300 gold, which accounted for 30% of my total gold, I wrapped up my business in the storage.

As I turned my head, I saw the bustling main street of the city. The information I wanted wasn't about the current situation of the Northern Continent but rather about the goals we aimed to achieve. Honestly, if only I had enough time, I would prefer to venture into the unstable regions, defeating monsters and gradually growing stronger.

However, our remaining time was extremely limited. Before the first alliance war broke out and the clans rose up, I wanted to at least have an official clan name. Unless a large clan established a branch, it would be genuinely difficult to form an official clan within just three months.

In the end, the only option left was to rapidly gather achievements by selectively targeting the prime locations in Mule.

There were a total of three essential places to conquer in Mule:

The Ruined Laboratory The Dungeon of the Ancient Alchemist Vivienne The Cave of Wailing

The Cave of Wailing was a cave that my caravan, which had been established for over two years, stumbled upon by chance. However, I had only heard rumors about the laboratory and the alchemist's dungeon, so I needed to prepare accordingly.

Most beginner players mistakenly believe that discovering caves or dungeons is easy. However, such places never just appear out of nowhere. Sometimes, they are well-hidden behind barriers, or entering them requires specific items.

Of course, with my current ability, the Third Eye, I might be able to resolve many issues. However, there were too many uncertainties to be overly optimistic.

I decided to head to the library. In the Hall Plain, a library can be defined as a facility that collects all kinds of documents and records and is open for players to browse.

Given the surrounding regions were chaotic and the newly established pioneering city, the representative clan was prioritizing the stabilization of the city. In this situation, openly seeking to explore caves or dungeons would be foolish. I knew going to the library was somewhat futile, but I had no other choice.

If all else failed, I could always visit the Cave of Wailing first. However, I preferred to leave that cave as a last resort.

Four days had passed. During that time, the kids had certainly shown their growth. Among them, the one who made particularly remarkable progress was Sol. It seemed that she had so much magical power from the start that it was difficult for her to control it. However, after sharing my efficient mana management techniques and guiding her a few times, her skills improved significantly day by day.

As time went on, I began to demand more from the kids. I instructed them to maintain their magical sensing while moving around, not just standing still. Those who barely managed to maintain their sensing for about 40 minutes found themselves returning to their original spots the moment they added movement.

An-Hyun and Yun-Jung complained, but I was able to quell their discontent with a single remark: "Would you prefer to stay still while fighting in combat?"

I added another requirement for Sol. There was a divine spell called Restraint, which priests learn as a basic skill. Along with Cure, it was one of the most useful divine spells in the early stages.

''Ding!''

I took out a silver coin and tossed it high into the air. The coin spun and danced in the air before falling back into my hand. Seeing Sol watch with a serious expression, I calmly explained the training method.

"Pay close attention to how I caught the coin. For wizards and priests, after mana ability, casting speed is the most important factor. How quickly and swiftly you can cast the spell you intend—that's the key. Try to catch the coin with your Restraint before it hits the ground."

"Yes!" 

Seeing Sol respond energetically with a beaming smile, I couldn't help but smile back gently. Suddenly, Sol leaned forward, poking her head toward me, catching me off guard. But once I understood her intention, I reached out and gently patted her head.

After sending off the wandering Sol, I was about to return to concentrating on the documents I had brought from the library. When I heard the sound of the door next to me opening, I heard a loud noise. And soon after, the room I was in, the door opened wide with a loud noise. When I raised my head again, wondering who it was, I saw Yun-Jung's face peeking inside the room.
