Raymond stared at the last skill for several minutes. Rubbing his eyes to make sure he was seeing it correctly. But the text still remained the same, no matter how many times he blinked or rubbed his eyes.

Rereading through each word again and again, his mind slowly coming to the realization that there was no other alternative meaning to the skill.

He had only done one photoshoot, and the system decided that was enough to award him this...skill?

’What even is this effect?!’

Others will be more attracted to him, finding him to be more appealing to the five senses—sight, touch, hearing, smell and taste...

Okay, so people will find him more attractive. His touch more enjoyable, his voice will sound better and he would also smell more pleasant. But it was that last sense that really made him raise an eyebrow.

In the first place, why is the taste sense also enhanced? Who the hell would be ’tasting’ him?!

He took a deep breath, calming himself down first before he looked through the rest.

Looking through the system, everything was mostly within his expectations. He had levelled up a few times while helping Ellen form her core, the knowledge he learned then had been enough for him to level up a few times.

The Arctic Winds skill was also expected. He had created the spell during his first mission all those months ago. But this was his first time seeing it in his system. Seeing that it was only level 1 made him a bit ticked off though. Sure, the skill was sloppily made and still had plenty of flaws. But shouldn’t it have been at least level 3 or higher?

Speaking of, Raymond still had that other ice spell he wanted to create. But he had been focusing on Borrow Future Strength at the time, and they didn’t have any missions so he wasn’t in urgent need of another combat spell.

The Toughened Mana Circulatory System skill also made him speechless. At least this one had a useful effect. His blood circulatory system had been strengthened, letting them withstand more mana.

Raymond already had a much weaker effect of this skill, his ability as a Perfect Human gave him a small permanent resistance to anything that could harm him. But having a stronger version always helped.

Maybe having weakened stats was also a good thing? If he had his full stats and bonuses, he would have never even been in a situation where he ended up obtaining this skill.

His stats and title bonuses had also stopped at 94% and 95% respectively, likely because he had reached his limit already. He would need to reactivate his first circle to recover more.

While he could just wait for it to reactivate naturally, he could feel that he was already pretty close. There was a better way—which was to absorb more mana.

Mana cultivation was how awakened became stronger. Unfortunately for Raymond, he needed an unbelievable amount of mana compared to the others. At the current lower levels, he could still speed it up by utilizing random materials rich in mana. But the further he progressed, the harder it would be to do the same thing. To the point it would just be flat out not worth it.

Raymond sighed, the Everchanging Mana Absorption method he practiced for mana cultivation was always an option. But if he ever tried to do such a thing, he might accidentally cause a disaster by absorbing too much. This dimension was just too weak to hold someone like him.

He sealed the system. Closing his eyes as he felt the mana passively absorb into him. While this could also help to grow stronger. Actively cultivating sped up the progress by hundreds of times.

If only Raymond could travel dimensions again. He could simply travel to a different mana rich dimension—there, he could recharge his mana faster, undergo mana cultivation without worrying about causing harm.

Or if he had a pile of mana rich objects he could siphon from. But his safe house in this dimension had been erased since he rewind time...

Raymond’s eyes suddenly snapped open. His safe houses!

Sure his safe house on Terra might have been erased. But he also had another safe house with the World Tree. One that was filled with much better goodies then Terra could ever create. Stuff from Erde, Midgard, and other much higher level dimensions.

Since unlike him, who traveled between dimensions. The World Tree existed in multiple dimensions at the same time. If Raymond crossed the border, then the World Tree had one foot on both sides. So the World Tree was like a safe house that could be accessed in any dimension, as long as the World Tree resided in said dimension.

He started pacing around his room, it was easy to say this. But actually going to his safe house was a lot harder.

For starters, the true body of the World Tree was always very well hidden. Even Raymond only knew the location of a few.

But,where there were elves. She would definitely be there.

And in Terra, if you wanted to find elves. There was only one place to search for them—the elven realm.

Yet there was an even bigger issue, how was he supposed to enter the elven realm?

Raymond himself hadn’t even been aware of the elven realm until that one history class all those months ago. The group had never visited it, and not a single elf had ever appeared in the story. It hadn’t ever been brought up by anyone.

Even when the third Human-Demon war was rampaging on, they still refused to show. Honestly, they were the same no matter what dimension.

Sighing, he mentally increased the priority of visit the elven realm on his list. Also adding on a new item to try and find a way to actually enter the elven realm.

But setting all that aside. Raymond was currently busy with something else right now.

His group project.

Raymond was already fairly confident in getting a perfect score. But this time, he needed to be extra sure of it.

He had already gotten a good framework. But maybe he should change a few things?

The topic was the influence of mana on its surroundings, for their Foundations of Mana Sciences class. In terms of mana, Raymond was naturally an expert at it. It was practically a requirement for any proper Archmage, and Raymond especially studied mana more compared to others due to his two special attunements.

Hmm...

It had already been a year. Maybe it was time for him to reveal his time-attunement?

Instructor Sienna was still stuck on trying to figure out his attunement. They had literally run out of spells to cast, so their sessions had ended a while after his first mission.

Ellen as well, was hiding that she had formed a time-attunement mana. Causing many problems since it had been assumed she would have followed Killian’s inheritance to form an emotions-attuned mana.

It had even caused some criticism from the awakened community. Killian was the only known individual to have formed a emotions-attunement. The method he left behind in his inheritance could help massively in progressing this particular branch. Emotions was an extremely important thing after all.

But now, not only did Ellen not form an emotions-attunement. She also refused to give away the method to form the attunement. Leaving everyone stuck moving blindly.

Raymond personally thought it was stupid. Arts or magic that could affect emotions already existed, it was merely the attunement which was rare. But it wasn’t truly necessary to progress this branch. Besides, according to this logic—should the Asteria Family also give away their methods to form the astral-attunement?

...he just got a good idea actually.

His presentation was originally on the effects of mana attunements on living creatures. But what about the effects of the rarer attunements?

Attunements which were much harder to see—Asteria Family’s astral-attunement, Killian’s emotions-attunement, Depont Family’s pine-attunement and Zachary’s light-attunement.

He could even include a little ’theoretical’ attunements section. That just so happened to include time.

Raymond grinned, the inspiration flowing through his brain and re-energizing him.

If Ellen were here, she would surely agree that this was a great way to reveal their attunements.
