NovelEnglish79 Chapter 79 Money moves the world
(Desmond POV)
A couple of hours have passed since my breakthrough took place, at this point I had achieved a degree of familiarity with the skills I had learned throughout my elemental epiphanies, I had even named each of them. The first was the storm palm, the second I called it fiery burst, the third was easy due to its appearance, so I called it a water mirror, and, last but not least, the most original in its name; the steel claw.

At this point, I was dying to corroborate my assumptions with the hunter’s book.
Apparently, I had made multiple advances in understanding the skills I already possessed due to all the fights I had at night, I suppose that’s added to the way I use some of them, like when I manipulate the whirlwind of mana to use as sonar or when I use concentrated mana reverse spiral to return that pyromancer’s attack or my versatile use of mana burst where I end up using it even in consecutive bursts and on limbs other than my legs.
I had asked Kyuru about the elemental skills I learned, but his answer left me more questions than answers.
′′ Elemental abilities huh? Well, I have heard a bit about them, they are mainly related to the elemental affinity of the user, this affinity is subject to the user’s physical and mental compatibility to certain types of mana; So if you show a higher understanding of certain skills it may be because your talent or affinity with certain elements is higher than with the rest. In your case your personality adjusts very well to the manna of the wind and the metal, as for the water and the fire; It seems to me that you adjust more to those elements in certain moments or situations so, although you have an affinity with them, it is less than your affinity with wind and metal. ′′
His explanation had been incredibly long and clear, my doubts were more related to another question. . . Shouldn’t fairies dedicate themselves to being therapists or psychologists? They are so talented at it that I don’t think they even occupy going to college.
The professional choice of the fairies aside, at this point he was already certain that the matter with the military could now be over and could begin to consider taking on a mission from the association.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, with my quiver empty and with the lack of equipment in my arsenal as a hunter, I found myself in the shameful situation where I was poor in both my world and in terms of the ISH, with only 20 embarrassing credits on my account in the ISH and only my savings added to the credit card that I scammed the military; I was in urgent need of fundraising.
Although it might seem like I don’t have such a strong need for wealth in my world, considering the money I got from the sale of our apartment in the city and the credit card I stole from the military, it was far from enough for the plans he had in mind and to support the resources needed to cultivate an Esper; at the end of the day even though I didn’t want my sister to be noticed by the military that didn’t mean I wanted her to remain weak.
On the side of my association credits, I found myself with a shortage of these due to the consumption of special arrows and the lack of equipment, after all, I only had a bow, a pair of daggers, and a torso armor; He didn’t even have full armor. According to what he had heard from Elaisa, hunters usually have a large arsenal of both weapons and artifacts of all kinds to complete their missions and respond to emergencies; And if that wasn’t enough, you also had to take into account the fact that what little equipment I currently owned was zero star class while I had just made a one-star breakthrough.
Taking all of the above into account, I decided to contact Elaisa to inform her of my recent progress in strength and my urgent need for funds.
Ding! Ding!
