The Absolute Speed of a Certain Comic 109

Due to Tiona’s shout, many people gathered in the living room at this moment.
It had been a long time since the Loki Familia had accepted new members, and they were all curious about what was special about the new member.
“Gulp!”
“Gulp!”
Suddenly, the sound of swallowing could be heard intermittently.
Tiona lifted the tablecloth like a shield, blocking Hoshiharu’s side, and looked at her many friends with a wary expression.
Loki: “😐”
She had a feeling.
Before seeing Hoshiharu and Freya compete, her Familia members might suffer first.
She took a thin needle and pricked the tip of her index finger. After red blood oozed out, she extended her finger to Hoshiharu’s neck.
As her fingertip touched his skin, Loki was surprised, then her face tensed, trying to look serious.
Soon after, she began drawing some special symbols with skilled movements, and the god’s blood created a unique pattern on Hoshiharu’s back.
If looked closely, what Loki was drawing was actually a collection of bright red words shaped like inscriptions.
It was the Sacred Text used by the gods, and only a few people in the mortal world could understand it.
The Sacred Text that Loki painted on Hoshiharu’s back was exactly like the Falna she gave him, which was the “Ability Value.”
That’s right.
The core of the Falna is the Ability Value.
It’s like a game that reflects various abilities and possibilities of adventurers in the form of clear numerical values. At the same time, Excelia and achievements of adventurers can be extracted into abilities, allowing them to explore their original potential as quickly as possible and the strength of potential that could never be harnessed in a lifetime.
In other words, it’s a digitalization of abilities.
Without exception, this Ability Value would be engraved on the back of Familia members. Because it’s similar to a lifeline, gods would never reveal this information even if they reported to the guild; they would only inform the level.
“Yosh, it’s done!”
Loki snorted and wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead.
Then she took a piece of parchment and placed it on Hoshiharu’s back. With a slight movement of her fingers, she printed the ability values from his back onto the parchment and handed it to him.
“Get dressed first!”
As soon as the process of giving the Falna was finished, Tiona immediately handed Hoshiharu his top, like an old woman.
“Sigh……”
A series of sighs suddenly echoed around the living room.
The beautiful girls who had been anticipating it didn’t see the scene they wanted to see, and each of them looked disappointed.
As for the center of everyone’s attention, Hoshiharu focused on the parchment in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Tiona beside him also leaned her head in.
Finn turned with the same expression. He wasn’t tall enough and had to lift his head slightly to see the contents of the parchment.
...
Nangou Hoshiharu Level 1
Power: I (0)
Endurance: I (0)
Dexterity: I (0)
Agility: I (0)
Magic Power: I (0)
Magic:
Skill:
...
The Ability Value is divided into three categories: basic abilities, magic, and skills.
Among them, basic abilities include five sub-aspects: strength, endurance, dexterity, agility, and magic power, which are very simple and easily adaptable to the adventurer’s physical abilities.
These five sub-aspects each have their own proficiency. Proficiency is divided into ten levels represented by letters, i, h, g...a, s, etc. Each level corresponds to its own numerical value range, i being 099, h being 100199, and so on, with a being 800899, and the highest level s being 900999.
Generally, the experience points gained after battles or training would qualify to increase proficiency. The more you train in one aspect, the more proficiency increases in that aspect.
“Generally, the proficiency cap is 999, but only a few people can reach this point. If you can reach level D, which is about 500 points, it’s considered good.”
Tiona continued to explain common knowledge about the Falna to Hoshiharu, and her attitude was clearly very positive.
“A beginner’s basic abilities are all 0, but when they first receive the Falna, there will be a period of rapid growth... It’s just that your magic bar is a bit strange!”
That’s right.
Hoshiharu also noticed this.
For some reason, there was an extra stroke in his magic column.
“Generally, everyone has hidden magic talents. When receiving the Falna, there will be at least one magic slot in the magic column, up to three... this is the first time I’ve heard of no magic slots at all.”
Finn, who was staring at the parchment, couldn’t help but have a subtle expression on his face.
Not only was there none, but even the “Magic” column was directly crossed out.
It’s almost like saying... that he has no magic talent at all.
“...A bit biased, but it’s not a big deal.”
Hoshiharu pondered for a moment, pretending not to care.
This was a lie.
He was actually very much looking forward to having one or two magics. He really needed a long-range method that was not only handsome but also powerful.
As a result, there was none.
Although it was expected before, when he saw this scene, he still felt so heartbroken that he couldn’t breathe.
“Haha, but Hoshiharu, you are already a very strong swordsman, and ordinary people can avoid my punches. If you still have magic talent, there’s no way for ordinary people to survive!”
Seeing his tense expression, Tiona immediately spoke to comfort him.
“There are still many people in this world who can’t use magic. It’s better to say that those who can use magic are rare. Even in the Loki Familia, there are very few people who can use magic. For example, Tiona is already Level 5. But she also has no magic.”
Finn’s face was very calm, and he didn’t show any disappointment. Instead, he smiled and teased Tiona, skillfully changing the topic, making people feel good about him.
“And fortunately, there’s nothing wrong with your skill bar. With your level, there will definitely be strong skills in the future.”
Skills refer to abilities that can bring special effects or enhance one’s abilities under certain conditions.
The appearance of skills and magic is basically irregular. They can appear at any time, but they might also not appear for a lifetime.
But fortunately, unlike magic, there is no limit to the number of skill columns. Some strong adventurers even have more than five skills, which is considered a lot.
According to Finn, Hoshiharu is just an ordinary person and very extraordinary, and there is no doubt that he will have strong skills in the future.
“I hope so.”
Although Hoshiharu was heartbroken, he could only accept the reality.
“Then, Tiona, tell me about Hoshiharu’s escape from your punch.”
Finn showed a very kind smile and looked at Tiona beside him, who suddenly froze.
“I should have asked you to bring him back, and not asked you to fight him, right? What do you want to do with your Level 5 power and fight him who is just an ordinary person?”
