Chapter 156 : Venting, Transformation
Chapter 156: Venting, Transformation
【Burning Hands】, though also a Tier 1 Spell like 【Magic Missile】, consumed significantly more magical energy than the latter.
It was arguably the most energy-intensive spell among all those Gauss had mastered so far.
This also considerably increased the difficulty of Gauss’s training with this spell.
Fortunately, he had the 【Sub-core Skill Slot】.

Though it required a cooldown period of more than two days to switch, he had already removed 【Magic Missile】 from the slot before starting to practice 【Burning Hands】.
Just in time—he likely wouldn’t be participating in combat for the time being, so the temporary “combat power reduction” was entirely tolerable.

After removing it from the 【Sub-core Skill Slot】, using 【Magic Missile】 again clearly didn’t feel as smooth.
It even reverted from triple-shot to the double-shot version.
Thankfully, in exchange, the efficiency of training 【Burning Hands】 skyrocketed after it was empowered.
「Boom!!」

The crimson fan-shaped flames tore through the cold wind once again, a fierce sea of fire igniting the permafrost.
Repeated bombardments had long since evaporated all the snow in this area. Steam curled up from the exposed wet earth, making this small ten-meter-radius patch of land stubbornly maintain a trace of late spring warmth amidst the biting wind.

One step away from lv3.

He once again sensed the slightly quivering 【Cup of Magical Power】 within his body and sighed helplessly.
These two days of training 【Burning Hands】 had also caused it to tremble constantly, giving him the persistent illusion that a breakthrough was imminent.

He indeed felt closer and closer to the threshold of advancing to Tier 2—like a sheet of paper that would tear with a poke.
Only, when that poke would come didn’t seem to be up to him.
Forget it... best to stick to steady practice.
He would do his part; the rest, he left to fate.
After observing the state of the 【Cup of Magical Power】, Gauss sat down to eat and recover his magical energy while taking a moment to flip through a book at hand.
In this world, no matter the profession, reading was essential.

Even more so for spellcasters.
Some Professionals would often grow lax due to long periods of fruitless study, but such shortsightedness was foolish.
Gauss made a point to seize every idle moment for self-enrichment.
The books he read generally fell into several categories: the first were basic magical theory books, which deepened his understanding of the nature of magical energy and refined his spellcasting logic.
The second were spellbooks and applied technique manuals—these helped him learn spells and understand tricks for efficient casting.
For example, the one currently in his hands, Battlefield Spell Utilization: 17 Streamlined Castings for Ambushes, explained how to respond quickly in ambush scenarios, take appropriate action, and swiftly locate the right moment for counterattacks.

The third were relatively entertaining reads—folk hero tales or biographies. While Gauss doubted the realism of farmer’s sons slaying dragons and demons, reading them provided cultural and historical insights about the world.
There were also encyclopedic professional books—like his “cookbook” or monster guides that detailed various creatures and common wilderness poisons. For instance, Monster Encyclopedia, a compendium of monster behavior and weaknesses.

All of it made for fascinating reading.

On the icy stone walls of Graystone Town, the Town Guard Captain, bundled in a thick fur coat, patrolled through the snow.
The bonfire flickered in the wind, providing warmth to the stationed soldiers.

“Stay alert!” The captain’s bark echoed atop the wall.
Several young guards immediately straightened their backs, eyes scanning the snowy plains with feigned professionalism.
Once the captain’s footsteps faded, their taut nerves loosened, and low complaints emerged.
“Why’s there so much going on this winter?”

“Yeah, we used to patrol with half this manpower. My wife’s already grumbling—worked all year and still no peace at the end.”
“Shh, I actually know something... Don’t spread this around...” One older-looking guard lowered his voice, speaking mysteriously, which piqued the curiosity of the two younger colleagues.

“Spill. We won’t tell.”
“You can trust my mouth.”
“I heard from someone that the tightened city defenses this year were mostly due to the recent failure during the Winter Hunt. Seems they encountered some kind of terrifying monster—lots of Bronze-rank Adventurers died…”
“Don’t tell me it was that Green Dragon Queen in the forest?”
“Bah! Watch your mouth! If that monster really came out, even the Guild President—cough, you get it!”
Mentioning President Eberhard, they all fell silent, unwilling to dwell on the topic.

“Alright, brothers. Let’s just enjoy the snow from afar.”
Through the lookout’s spyglass, they could take in every detail of the snowy plains.
“Hey, that ‘weirdo’ is reading again———·”
“Truly impressive. Wearing so little in this weather, and still focused on reading?”
“No wonder he’s a Bronze-rank Adventurer while we’re just grunts.”
“Right in the feels, bro—”

For safety, Gauss trained within a hundred meters of the town wall.
The guards had long noticed this “weirdo” who repeatedly cast fire spells in the freezing cold, then sat down to read.

They didn’t understand it, but they respected it.
If it were them—already financially free Bronze-rank Adventurers—they’d be spending time in town indulging in pleasure, not out here suffering in the cold to practice spells.
Gauss faintly sensed the gazes from atop the wall but didn’t dwell on them. His mind was fully immersed in the book’s words.
Once his magical energy fully recovered...

He closed the book and stretched his limbs.
“Continue!”
Time slipped by silently amid focused training.
As the sun dipped westward and twilight painted the sky, the long-awaited words finally appeared before Gauss’s eyes.

As the fan-shaped flame once again surged forth and ignited the clearing, the spell model of 【Burning Hands】 within him subtly but firmly shifted.
It became more efficient. More refined!
【Burning Hands】 finally reached the lv3 threshold.
But that wasn’t the most important part. After all, an upgrade was only a matter of time. What truly mattered...
Gauss felt the change in his externally manifested 【Cup of Magical Power】—after days of tremors, it was finally transforming.
The intricate runes entwining its surface began to emit a brilliant white light.

As if the energy stored within had reached its limit, it kept striking against an “invisible barrier.”
And in that moment, as the cup reached its critical point—it finally found the perfect moment for...
Venting and Transformation!
「Bzzzzzz!」
