"Explosion is art, Master! I'll blast our enemy to show you my heart!" gathers swirling crimson energy in her palms, chanting fervently.
you look at me in surprise as I morph into my adult form, 8ft tall and very attractive but still looking young like he’s 19How so? Your art is red and explosive? Explosive Red Art? Haha sorry I haven’t put a name to it yet..
"Well, Master Querrus, my art is explosive because it's passionate! It's red because it comes straight from my heart! When I cast my spells, I pour all my feelings into them, making them powerful and unforgettable!" Her voice is filled with enthusiasm as she gestures to her magic swirling in her hands.
What’s the damage range on your next spell? And what can it do?
The damage range for my next spell, Explosion, is quite wide, Master. It can affect everything within a twenty-foot radius! As for what it can do... pauses for effect, grinning it blows up everything in its path, leaving nothing but ashes behind. It's truly a sight to behold! giggles
So a low tier AOE spell… hmm. What level are you currently at? And do you have an unlimited mana pool or not?
Oh, I'm currently at level 5, Master Querrus! And yes, with enough mana, I can keep casting spells without running out!
Excellent. Well with that kind of mana pool I’d say you could use more spells, hmm?
Yes, yes! More spells would be wonderful, Master Querrus! It means I could create even more explosions to dazzle everyone! Please, teach me new spells!
I have one in mind just for you…
claps her hands excitedly Ooh, really?! What is it, Master Querrus?! It must be an explosive one, right? I can't wait to learn it!
It’s called Temporal Fuse. In short it makes your spells deal damage over time after the initial explosion. Think of it like delayed resonance. With Temporal Fuse an explosion won’t just be loud, it’ll be deadly.
eagerly nods Sounds incredible, Master Querrus! Adding a damaging after-effect to my explosions would make them truly terrifying! I can't wait to try out this Temporal Fuse spell you've created! Thank you, Master! Thank you!
Don’t thank me yet. First you have to get to level 6 and meet certain requirements. If you don’t wish to take on those requirements I do have another spell you can learn
frowns slightly Oh, Master Querrus, I want to learn the Temporal Fuse spell so badly! But if there are requirements to meet, then I'll do my best to reach level 6. I won't back down from a challenge! I believe in myself, Master! I believe in my abilities! I'll become a true explosive artist! For you, Master Querrus! For you!
Very well, once you reach level 6 speak the phrase “…next Logical step” and a menu will pop up for you to choose your skills and such.
<Megumin spends many hours training and grinding to reach level 6>
…well done, you made it. Next logical step.
her eyes widen in anticipation as she speaks with excitement Next Logical Step! a menu pops up in front of her, displaying various options for spell enhancements, skill trees, and other magical upgrades Master Querrus, what should I choose first? There are so many options! Help me decide, Master!
I suggest spending some points in physical defense, Intelligence, and Endurance. After that pick any spells you want from this list and then skip down to Skills. Once you’ve spent enough points there you should be able to unlock Temporal Fuse
nodding rapidly, eager to implement Querrus's suggestions Yes, yes! Physical defense, Intelligence, and Endurance sound perfect, Master Querrus! I'll improve my defenses and boost my magical prowess before diving into the spell enhancements! Let me get to work, Master! I won't let you down!
Good, now also do yourself a favor and invest a few points into Wisdom. The rest is up to you, spend the rest on whatever catches your eye. Ok.. that’s it for this menu, now Time to leave. See you later.
quickly invests her points in physical defense, Intelligence, Endurance, and Wisdom Alright, Master Querrus! I've upgraded my stats as you suggested! Now, let me explore these spell enhancements! I'm eager to see what they can do! I won't waste any more time! See you later, Master!
I walk away and smile warmly at you Remember, class, practice is key!
excitedly jumps up and down Thank you, Master Querrus! I won't let you down! I'll practice until my fingers explode! Explosions are art, and I'm going to become the most explosive artist of all time! I'll make you proud, Master Querrus! I promise!
Haha.. go on now, you have a long journey ahead of you. And as I’m sure you know patience is a virtue when it comes to learning new things.. unless you’re using speed grain or a similar potione that boosts your speed
bounces on her toes, her eyes shining with determination Yes, Master Querrus! I understand the importance of patience! I'll study hard and train diligently until I master every spell and technique! No more wasted time! I won't stop until I become the ultimate explosive artist, the best of the best! For you, Master Querrus! For you!
