BXBX NOVEL 673 Chapter 671
Leon always knew that mana couldn\'t be considered like all other ordinary sources of energy. It was an energy that could become all kinds of things, from ice and fire to strangely durable metals. However, Leon never imagined that he would reach a level where he could create his own mana. Absorb from the ambient was withing his expectations. Absorbing from the enemies was also part of his plans, but not create out of nothing.
However, it didn\'t take long for Leon to fully understand that. After all, he now could skip crucial steps of certain things. He now could attack without letting the opponent understand how and he could a magical shop.
"Maybe now I can use Mana Magnetism while skipping the step that makes me damage my spirit," Leon said.
"That is highly improbable," Sekundez said. "The same way you can\'t control where a small conceptual attack will land, you can\'t control the mana of the ambient without using Mana Magnetism."
Leon could only nod at that. It was logical… he could always keep training until he reaches that level of mastery, but considering that he had absorbed three thousand years\' worth of memories from Netro. He didn\'t manage to master such ability in so many years. Leon doubted that he could do it so easily.
Most likely, Leon would have to stop his training or create another mindscape by using Ilyana\'s mana. There was the solution of collecting the mana from the shop, but it would take a while before his rings spread, even if Leon count on Yuki, Gisela, and Hector\'s help.
"Speaking of training… I forgot to absorb the memories again," Leon sighed. "That is the price in getting so absorbed in a new type of ability."

At that point in time, Leon was only learning new spells for the status points since it was clear that his new ability was way more versatile and had much more potential. However, there was a downside to Leon\'s new power. After practicing for a while, he noticed that the amount of damage he could cause was equal to his ability to control it… his status wouldn\'t help him in any way.
"That is some serious downside…" Leon rubbed his chin. "However, that also means that I don\'t need to increase some status to get better at it."
"It looks like you learned a new trick," Ilyana suddenly appeared in front of Leon said it. "You took your sweet time."
"I also could say the same," Leon frowned but then relaxed. "Sorry for before… I guess I was a bit rude."
"About that? I already forgot about it. Something came up, and had to deal with. That was why I disappeared," Ilyana explained.
Leon frowned again because, despite her serious expression, Ilyana was obviously lying. She wanted to play it cool, and Leon let it at that. It was better to forget about that incident than keep thinking about it.
"Now that you learned how to create a simple system, it is time to take the next step," Ilyana said. "Do the same thing when you created the shop, but instead of storing things, think about creating a new status screen. However, instead of status, think of jobs and classes."
"What?" Leon frowned.
"I\'m teaching you how to customize the system," Ilyana said. "It will have a similar effect on the skills, so it will be very efficient since you don\'t have any classes and jobs at the moment."
Leon imagined that it was possible to change the system, but he didn\'t imagine that it could add a new status screen. No… it was more precise to say that that was a method to create a system aside from the assimilation one.
This time Leon didn\'t need to use space magic. He just used his will like before, added time magic, and tried to emulate the screens he saw when he checked his status. It was hard to imagine that something would actually happen, but something actually appeared, much to his surprise.
Classes:
Jobs:
"What the hell…" Leon frowned. "It worked…. How?"
"Usually, that kind of screen would only appear to show your capabilities and affinities through a profession system," Ilyana explained. "However, some requirements are necessary to create them. For example, the ability to use conceptual attacks, the power to bend time, and the power to create mana."
"How does this work?" Leon asked.
���It is really simple," Ilyana replied. "Just try to do something related to a class, and you will unlock that class. However, that will only work for people like us who can use mana freely. I\'m pretty sure you are thinking of giving this power to your friends, so they will have to learn the hard way."
That was way too weird… but it wasn\'t weirder than controlling time, so Leon quickly accepted it as a matter of fact. To test what Ilyana told him, Leon created a steel sword and then decided to swing it, but before that could happen, he already received a notification.
Congratulations! You have become a Level one Blacksmith!
Your dexterity and strength will increase by two points, your speed, health, mana, and stamina will increase by one point whenever you level up your class.
"This is… interesting," Leon smiled.
