No one said anything. Slowly but surely, they all understood the meaning behind the Knight Captain's words; they all waited with bated breath as the captain continued.
"That's a natural question what is the advantage of a Job if I have to say it then it would be that the chances of getting a derivative skill increases ten-fold"
"Sometimes, if a 'job' is rare enough like A Hero, then those chances are increased up to 100-fold. And not only that 'job' helps in increasing your stats exponentially. Think of it as a huge advantage you gain if you have one" Sir William said so when looking towards Agawa.
"what's a derivative skill"
"Those were skills that were acquired by spending a lifetime polishing one's talents, something one acquired by surpassing their limits in a certain field. Put simply, it was when someone suddenly discovered the trick to doing something they'd always struggled to before, and rapidly increased their proficiency with it"
As skills were basically the innate talents you were born with, we cannot increase the number of skills but that isn't true for derivative skills, these skills are part of our original skill, but each derivative skill has its own benefit it increases your proficiency with the certain part of the skill.
'Damn it, that's a huge loss if I want to increase my number of skills.'
Kelly frustratingly thought so when he heard that.
"But you will only get a derivative skill when your skill has fully evolved or reached its potential"
When Sir William said that everyone had a question mark hovering above their head.
"What does that mean? Didn't you just say skills are what we get from birth and can't change it in any way then; how can we evolve them?"
"Yes, I did but you have to understand one thing before we go forward humans are not the one who control skills but the other way around"
'Interesting, first the pope. Now, him. It's like they are saying that skills have their own mind.'
"Well for you all to understand that firstly, do you all see something like soul strength written on your status plate" when the captain said that everyone nodded.
