After that the Psuedospace training continued, each of the other Gamers practicing to see if they could not only create the Pseudospace, but also attain an energy or mana manipulating Skill like Ren did when he first created one. --- Sasha Pseudospace Practice: 59 - 13 Focus = 49 For Sasha it was easy making the space, but deriving some other form of understanding or skill from the practice was a bit more difficult. She would feel as though she barely got any additional understanding of energy or mana at all, but nonetheless a few new windows would appear before her. [hider=Window 1] A Skill has been created through a Special Action. A very basic form of energy emission, Energy Shot, has been created. [/hider] [hider=Energy Shot] Energy Shot (Lv 1: 0/100 EXP) (Active: 3 MP): From your finger like a bullet you shoot a single point 'bullet' of energy, this dealing 10 + Focus Score% of your INT in damage. [/hider] [hider=Window 2] A Skill has been created through a special action. The ability to create Pseudospace, ID Create, has been created. [/hider] [hider=ID Create] ID Create (Lv 1: 0/100 EXP) (Active): Create a Pseudospace. Current Types Possible: Empty ID, Imp ID. To Level Up: Create an ID, Unknown Training Method, Unknown Training Method. [/hider] --- Lucian Pseudospace Practice: 91 - 11 Focus = 80 Lucian Pseudospace Reattempt: 0 - 11 Focus = -11 (Critical!) For Lucian he seemed to have trouble with it the first time, it seeming to be quite difficult for him and a little tiring. Fortunately though from his first attempt he was close enough to have a basic understanding of how it was done, which would allow him to try one more time with the thoughts still fresh in his mind to see if he could still get it right, and get it right he did. The second time went by so flawlessly and quickly it was as if he had been doing it for years. Perhaps the saying 'Practice Makes Perfect' is really true, as there seemed to be no flaws in the execution process that even seemed to impress Ren. A larger understanding of energy and mana emissions would flow into Lucian as he executed this perfect Pseudospace as a few windows seemed to appear before him. [hider=Window 1] Flawless execution of the creation of the Pseudospace has given you a better understanding of mental concentration, +1 Focus. [/hider] [hider=Window 2] A Skill has been created through a Special Action. The ability to emit energy and mana through powerful mental focus, strength, and awareness, Mana Surge, has been created. [/hider] [hider=Mana Wave] Mana Wave (Lv 1: 0/100 EXP) (Active: 7 MP): You focus your mind and from it unleash a powerful, yet small, wave-like blast of mana from your palms using your internal energies and willpower. This does 1d10 + 25% Focus Score + (25 + Focus Score% of your INT) Damage. [/hider] [hider=Window 3] A Skill has been created through a special action. The ability to create Pseudospace, ID Create, has been created. [/hider] [hider=ID Create] ID Create (Lv 1: 0/100 EXP) (Active): Create a Pseudospace. Current Types Possible: Empty ID, Imp ID. To Level Up: Create an ID, Unknown Training Method, Unknown Training Method. [/hider] After Lucian's excellent go at creating a Pseudospace was complete, Ren next began teaching everyone the technique for escaping from a Pseudospace, which would be very useful. "To escape from a Pseudospace you do the exact same process for creating one, except using a different thought process. You simply emit the energy and will like before, only this time you show the desire to get out and escape the Pseudospace, which is done by essentially destroying it". --- Lucian ID Escape Practice: 87 - 12 Focus = 75 Mike ID Escape Practice: 81 - 13 Focus = 68 Sasha ID Escape Practice: 61 - 13 Focus = 48 --- Attempting to break an ID that Ren would create for the each of them to practice one at a time seemed harder than creating one, at least for Lucian, who seemed to barely accomplish it, and Mike. Sasha, on the other hand, seemed to get the concept of it somewhat easily. The following two windows would appear before each of the other present Gamers after their successful attempt at escaping from Pseudospace. [hider=Window] A Skill has been created through a special action. The ability to escape from Pseudospace and break it, ID Escape, has been created. [/hider] [hider=ID Escape] ID Escape (Level 1: 0/100 EXP) (Active): Destroys the ID you currently are in, allowing you to escape. May not work in some cases. Higher levels may allow you to escape in certain other situations or allow you to break more powerful Pseudospaces. To Level Up: Escape an ID you created, Escape an ID someone else created. [/hider] After it was all done Ren sighed a little, glad that little practice session was over, not knowing exactly what everyone learned. Observe didn't allow him to see what Skills a person possessed. Well... not yet anyway. Perhaps at a higher level he could, but for now he could not. "So, that was... a time. What did everyone learn?" Ren was a bit curious actually, as this would indeed provide more insight into their power. Did they all manage to learn Mana Bolt like he did? Or did they learn something else. Either way, it would be interesting to discuss this for more information. This day was turning out a little better than Ren thought. Sasha, luckily, during the course of all the Pseudospace practice sessions would have the 'Deadly' disappear from above her head as it seemed her HP finally recovered to just above 0. Not all the way yet, about 10%, but still it was better than being on the verge of death.
