The Insider System

Chapter 302: Speed Is Important

Lake didn't know how long he had been at cube training but it had been at least a few hours so he planned to end this after his current cube exploded. He felt like he was hitting some type of wall and he didn't think trying for much longer would actually be useful. He needed to go and find a book that could tell him if there were limits to how hard you could make mana.

He was on his twentieth round of this so he thought there was about an equal chance that he had hit his current limit or the actual limit for Wind mana. Once his cube failed Lake walked out of his room and went towards the Temple Heads office. He wanted to know about the limit thing he had just been thinking about but the Temple Head had been waiting for him.

The Temple Head would probably be a better source of information anyway since it would be hard to track down the exact knowledge he was looking for in the books they had here that were mostly about Light magic. Seeing the Temple Head's door was closed, Lake wondered if he should wait or if knocking would be alright.

Deciding to just knock Lake did so and a second later he heard the Temple Head's voice. "You can come in." Opening the door, Lake saw the Temple Head was alone and asked. "Am I interrupting something?" Lake knew he had only been gone a few hours so the Temple Head was probably working.

This tended to happen whenever he walked into Lucas' office as well so Lake had no problem coming back later if she needed him to. "No, it's fine, come on let's get to the tour." Lake never even really got into the room so he just moved out of the doorway and let the Temple Head out into the hallway.

"I'm going to show you the training rooms first. That's where a lot of people around your age spend their time so I'm sure you'll like it for passing time there." Remembering what he had just been doing inside his room, Lake thought it was great that he got to see where he should have been training.

He also saw this as a great opportunity to ask his question since the Temple Head was already thinking about him training. "Speaking of training, are you aware of a limit to how solid you can make Wind mana? I've hit some kind of wall and I can't seem to get past it."

"Well I would recommend you start putting more effort into it. The speed principle is a lot more special than the solid principle and it puts a limit on your magic so training it should be higher on your list if you plan to be good at Wind magic." Lake was sure she knew what she was talking about so he nodded and said. "I'll do my best to catch up in speed training."

"Good. Alright let's move on there are still three more places I have to bring you before this tour is over." Lake nodded and followed behind the Temple head. As they were walking to the next location Lake thought of something else he could probably ask the Temple Head about that pertains to speed. Fleet-foot was a job he was very interested in and with the magic compass he was sure he could start tracking down other people that had the job to level it up.

He wasn't sure if it was a good idea even if it did give him perception on level up which was something he really needed. Deciding it would be fine to ask after the Insider didn't stop him, Lake waited till he was sure they were alone and asked. "Do you know anything about the Fleet-foot job?"

Lake was relieved to find the Temple Head didn't jump in surprise or anything when he asked this and waited for her answer. "Do you have it or is it just something you heard about?" Feeling he was already too far to lie he said. "I've had it for a few weeks but I've been too busy to find out anything about it yet."

"I wouldn't recommend you use it but just in case you plan to I'll tell you what I know." Lake got excited when he heard the Temple Head take an almost worried tone in the way she was speaking. He knew this was a bad sign but with there being high stakes he was sure there was an interesting story.

"First it's funny you ask about Fleet-foot right after I helped you with Wind magic since Fleet-foot is a job created by the God of Wind to find people worthy of being subordinate demigods to him. All the gods do tests like these just not always in the form of a job. For more information on these tests you should look into reading a book called Paths of ascension. It's very good and you'll find it helpful."

Lake took note of the name real quick before going back to listening to what the Temple Head was saying. "So this competition job forces out those good at fighting that have Wind affinity out into the open so it's easy for the God of Wind to find them but it's almost impossible to find others with this job so it's considered a waste of time."

After the Temple Head said the last thing she was silent for a while before saying. "Don't think just because you're able to find others it's a good idea. You'll be in competition with others who are in most cases much older and experienced than you." Lake wasn't about to run off to find these people he just wanted to know what kind of skills this job gave so he asked. "Do you know what kind of skills the job gives?"

There was no reason to listen to one warning after another so he felt this question was likely to give him the information he needed to know. "I would expect an increase in Wind affinity or a speed increasing skill but I don't know for sure. You would have to find someone with the job to get more but like I said its a bad idea. There's nothing some people won't do to become a demigod in a safe manner that the Demon Lord won't interfere with."

Lake had heard of the Demon Lord hunting demigods as a source of divinity so he wasn't surprised a lot of people would be involved in this Fleet-foot test. "Anyway we're here so let's stop talking about this so I can show you which parts of our information room you have access to."
