Comprehensive Manga: Hope in Another World

The next day.

Night.

Shun and Ryuu walked out of the hotel one after another.

Ryuu was the first to return to the pub to help, while Shun was about to return after shopping outside for a while when he saw a familiar emerald green long hair at the door of the store.

He walked closer and asked softly:

"Riveria? Why are you here?"

He never expected Riveria to come again.

To be honest, he thought that after that kiss the other night, Riveria would ignore him for at least ten days.

"Why… are you surprised?"

Riveria had a cold face at this time, and she had the aura of an elf royal family. Coupled with her status as a Level 6 Mage, it was estimated that no one would dare to approach her.

"You mean I can't come?"

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that. I just… very surprised!"

Seeing Riveria raise her eyebrows, Shun quickly waved his hand.

"After that banquet, not many people paid attention to me. The adventurers thought the Hestia Familia would lose and I would become Apollo's plaything. They all avoided me."

Shun took a step forward, grabbed her hand, and said: "Riveria, I'm so glad you came to see me."

"Hmph… no one would believe such words coming out of your mouth."

It seemed that Riveria's mood suddenly improved.

She followed Shun to a secluded forest on one side.

"Although you can indeed defeat Level 5, your bet is too arrogant."

Riveria had the exact same concern as Ryuu.

Those who had experienced many hardships and dark ages were very cautious.

"The evaluation of the Apollo Familia has always been bad. There might be some destructive tricks in the future, especially the legion of mages in the Apollo Familia. The power of magic far exceeds the physical strength of the adventurers. You have to be more careful!"

Her concern proved itself.

"You're going to fight. If you want to become stronger in a short period of time, the best way is to change weapons or learn magic."

"For the sake of teaching Aiz' swordsmanship, I'm here to help you guide magic. If you can master a magic before the War Game begins, it will be very helpful for you who are strong in martial arts."

Saying this, Riveria took out a book.

To be precise, it was a Grimoire.

In the Danmachi world, magic could be roughly divided into two types: innate and acquired.

Needless to say, the innate type refers to magic related to the subject's qualifications or racial basis. Since ancient times, the Elf race has been able to learn magic early on through their potential talents, coupled with their training and rituals, although their attributes have fixed tendencies, most of them have relatively strong and large-scale effects.

The acquired species is a possibility that grows through the Falna medium, and is also a realization of self. It has no regularity and is full of infinite differences. It is greatly influenced by Excelia.

Generally speaking, innate magic is a privilege of races like Elves.

After obtaining Falna, adventurers who are lucky enough to have a magic slot can be guided by the Grimoire to obtain acquired magic.

Like a female teacher, Riveria took the Grimoire and explained it seriously to Shun:

"Magic is interest. This element is very important for acquired magic. Interest in something produces identification, hatred, admiration, lament, worship, oaths, and desires. The trigger is always within oneself."

"So, you have to consider your state of mind more carefully when channeling magic later."

Shun listened seriously to Riveria's words, and after a long time, he nodded in realization.

He had initially thought that magic in this world was released through magical power, but he didn't expect that magic actually consumed spiritual power, and then completed the magic release through chanting.

He also didn't expect that it would be so random and difficult for adventurers to obtain powerful magic.

However, for Shun, whose identity was unknown, these so-called various shackles were not important.

Besides, he had already made plans for the division of his remaining two magic slots.

With Wood Element (Mokuton) and Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Shun didn't need large-scale magic attacks at all.

Haruhime's Uchide no Kozuchi and the strongest and most versatile healing magic in Orario, Airmid Teasanare's Dia Fratel, that was Shun's plan.

His means of destruction were abundant, and these two magics:

One can increase the level by one level within 15 minutes.

The other has the characteristics of healing wounds, restoring physical strength, expelling poison, and eliminating curses. It can also work on many people and has a continuous effect.

It can be said that these two magics truly enriched Shun's multi-faceted methods and allowed him to develop into an all-around fighter.

As for other powerful magics with their own characteristics, and even Riveria's various powerful destructive magics, they weren't very useful to Shun.

"Thank you, Riveria."

Shun reached out and gently stroked her emerald green hair. Riveria unconsciously took a step back, but soon her wrist was pulled into the young man's embrace.

Almost like instinct, Riveria, who had been quite proud, became limp and fell into his embrace, and her ears turned pink.

"But let me tell you a secret."

Shun said: "Actually, one of my skills allows me to learn all the magic I've ever seen, so I don't lack magic. And my magic position can ignore any restrictions and learn magic."

"So, I'm actually planning to learn the recovery magic Dia Fratel from Dea Saint of the Dian Cecht Familia."

After hearing his words, Riveria was shocked, but then she felt a little disappointed.

"It seems I've been thinking too much…"

She took back the Grimoire worth a hundred million valis.

Shun stroked her hair and said softly: "However, you came at the right time. I've always wanted to buy a number of materials, and I also need the cost of forging weapons. Honorable Riveria, can you help me at this time?"

"I spent a lot of valis on my recent expedition, and I only have 210 million valis left." Riveria said weakly: "If that's not enough, do you want me to borrow more from my friends?"

At this time, with 210 million valis ringing in his ears, Shun only had one thought in his mind:

The life of a Gigolo is still good!
