"Please." Hearing his words, Takeru nodded, handing over the prepared silver coins. Seeing this, Shihoru quickly did the same.
As for magic power, upon arriving in this world, everyone's body contained magic power. The amount of magic power depended on Spirit support and could also be increased through special meditation, though it was very difficult...
For Takeru and the others, who already possessed magic power, there was no significant change.
"Alright, follow me." After collecting the silver coins, Orr began processing Takeru and the others' registration and also distributed the Priest's exclusive clothing.
[Novice Priest Robe: Spirit +3, Defense +3, Magic Recovery +1 per minute]
[Novice Priest Staff: Spirit +2, Strength +4]
Looking at the attributes of the two items, Takeru didn't disdain them and directly accepted, putting them on.
However, though worn, Takeru didn't receive the attribute bonuses from the Priest Robe because the core equipment slot was occupied by his [Twilight Night Armor]. Unless Takeru unequipped the Twilight Night Armor from the equipment slot, gear worn over it wouldn't provide attribute bonuses.
Since the Priest Robe's bonuses were so low, Takeru naturally wouldn't replace his current gear...
"Alright, let's begin learning the first spell: Light Heal. First, the incantation. Memorize it: 'Light, by the name of Lumilis, grant thy blessing! Heal!'" While explaining to Takeru and the others, Orr quickly demonstrated.
Watching the green light on his hand, Takeru could feel its healing aura.
As for effectiveness, the Light Heal Orr currently cast wasn't at the level of a Life Recovery Potion, but Takeru could tell he wasn't using full power.
According to Orr's explanation, the current Light Heal spell's effect could be scaled based on the amount of magic power used. Meaning more magic power expended resulted in longer duration and better effect.
Later, Takeru could spend gold coins to learn higher-level healing spells. Besides significantly improving healing effects, higher-level spells also consumed slightly less magic power per unit of healing.
However, there was a drawback: the minimum starting magic consumption for advanced spells was at least 30 points, compared to Light Heal's minimum of 8 points, which was a considerable difference.
Hearing this, Takeru nodded. Other things aside, when it came to magic power, Takeru wasn't lacking.
Besides his own 180 MP, Takeru had an incredibly powerful magic replenishment skill: [Gluttony]
Gluttony: Devour various things as sustenance! It can also convert magic, attacks, and items into his own magic power. Magic exceeding capacity is stored as magic crystals within the body. Attacks exceeding defense upper limit cannot be converted. Can be released using hands...
Takeru currently had 638 MP worth of magic crystals remaining, and that was without intentionally collecting them.
If Takeru focused on gathering, he could devour countless attacks to boost his magic power to near-infinite levels...
In other words, Takeru had no shortage of MP...
Under Orr's guidance, Takeru quickly learned Light Heal. In comparison, Shihoru was far behind. While Takeru could use it simply, she was still struggling with magic power conversion.
Takeru's fast learning speed even moved the usually strict Priest Orr.
Of course, this was mainly due to Takeru's high Spirit and genetic enhancement from the Genetic Enhancement Potion. If Takeru's aptitude was only above average before, after enhancement, it reached superior levels.
While not top-tier, it was still within the rare category. Combined with his extremely high Spirit attribute, Takeru's comprehension was even higher.
So Takeru himself didn't find it too incredible that he could quickly grasp and cast the healing spell...
Because of Shihoru, Takeru didn't leave immediately after learning. He began practicing to increase proficiency...
Also, the cast time for Light Heal was currently too slow for Takeru. By using it repeatedly, he aimed to make each cast faster.
Regarding the incantation, Orr told Takeru that once proficiency reached a certain level, just silently reciting it mentally could achieve instant casting.
Moreover, after mastery, it could be used remotely...
"Light, by the name of Lumilis, grant thy blessing! Heal!" Chanting softly, green light swiftly appeared in Takeru's hand. He continuously maintained the healing spell while carefully sensing its changes.
Due to Takeru's outstanding performance, even Priest Orr frequently glanced his way.
What shocked Orr most was Takeru's seemingly bottomless magic power. After nearly ten consecutive casts of Heal, Takeru showed no signs of fatigue, completely lacking the look of someone out of MP.
In contrast, Shihoru, during practice, had to stop and rest periodically due to magic depletion...
Magic recovery in this world was somewhat difficult. Even Priest Orr needed about twenty seconds to recover one point of MP, and his magic capacity was only around 148 points...
While Takeru and Shihoru worked hard, Yui and the others were not falling behind, diligently learning new skills in their respective guilds.
Meanwhile, in parallel worlds, Umaru, Taihei, and the others, along with those who became girls in the other world, were each facing their own respective challenges.
