Chapter 212 - Hard Working Servants
"Here is the list Master"
Taking the few papers off Mia's hands he skimmed through the status and skills of those he couldn't check with the system

"I see she successfully advanced her vanguard class, furthermore acquiring and advancing the third one, still she threw everything into strength again"
The rest of her stats can be explained by pushing them to the limit constantly using Unhinged, only intelligence barely budged
'So what skill has she gained from crossing the vitality threshold'
Unlike the parasite which was born with high stats thus barring the benefit of low thresholds, they would all benefit by getting a skill

"Hm? This is weird"
He could understand everything but the last skill which she supposedly gained from her vitality threshold, now not only was it very puzzling he was also astonished that it wasn't a normal skill since she just passed her first threshold for vitality
"Not only that her Blood Thicker Than Water skill is also the result of the first threshold of strength, hmmm"
As intriguing as it was he did not dwell on the matter, uncommon as it may be there were many individuals in the infinite dwellers of the world who reportedly gained advanced skills on their first thresholds
"But I truly envy this proper skill list"
A plethora of skills, some having their proficiency next to them, much unlike his mastered skills and Ellis's none-proficiency skills
The difference also brought him a lot of trouble, for when one advanced their understanding and rank of skill normally they would know how to use it to its fullest, but when he started with a mastered skill he would have to uncover the various uses by guessing and brainstorming
'At least it's better than Ellis'
The poor girl had even fewer skills, though she also had a vacant spot for her third class
'I want to get her something she could advance with merely her own understanding'
Anyone could get classes and raise their proficiency rank, if they had one, with SP, but only a select few could raise it on their own, that is given they chose the right class for their own skillset
'Maybe she could be like me before I came back….nah'
That was almost impossible, only he among the entirety of humanity was able to raise one of his skills from Initiate, through beginner, intermediate, proficient, and their sublevels all the way to Master without spending a single skill point on it
'That being said I could at least let her try, it would be a waste to put the SP she has hoarded to use when they could be all dumped into one skill later'
A Master rank skill was that much more important, it was what all races fought to acquire, though humans ended up cheating their way into acquiring them
'Heh, I look forward to seeing the looks on their face once more as they realize the cheat that is the human race'
It never bore him seeing them choke up after understanding what came with multiple classes, sadly it would be a while before he could witness the sight again, for now he had a few more pages to go through

He could tell at a glance that Ika has been working much harder than Zero, having advanced her assassin classes twice, toward the Flame Trickster and from there into Infernal Assasin, as well as gaining the third class, as for her second class, Fire Tracer, it advanced on its own after finding and merging with a flame seed
'I'm excited to see Ika's skills for sure'
The second class was never heard of before so it was an entirely new skill set for him

"Man, that's a ton of skills, on par with Zero's"
Long as it may be it did not mean Ika was stronger, in fact most of the skills there were low on rank meaning she couldn't use them yet in her battles, just a single slash of her blade would do better than those newly quired energy based attacks
"Her threshold skills arent really amazing either, just your run of the mill skills, only her Immemorable Fire Dancer skills look dangerous, in many ways"
Not only were they powerful they were also very vague, take The Last Dance for example, whose life was it worth? The enemies, hers, or one of her allies? If that wasn't cleared up then the skill was as good as useless
"Now for Nee and Saa"
The status of the two wasn't all that compared to their elder sisters, they also didn't surprise him with any of their skills causing him to quickly read through them and set the papers aside
"Mia"
"Yes Master?"
"What of the three division leaders"
"Arthur is doing well, he is leading the new fight force into decimating nearby beasts and teaching the recruits how to maneuver through a battlefield, Verity is using her truth seeking skills to weed out any spy wannabe while Dahir is making rounds around the base day and night, he might be the weakest now but his hard work makes him outshine the other two"
YuJu shook his head, sure he might outshine the other two now but with time he would be deemed useless, staying as a guard would only stagnate his strength in the long run
'Though his patience is what I chose him for, I need someone who is willing to sacrifice their valuable growth time and protect the base until someone is capable of replacing him'
Someone had to do it, surely it wouldn't be the naturally gifted since they were needed at the forefront
"Sounds good, then give Nee the command to start aggressively hunting beasts and clearing them all out to level the thralls, we shall designate a land for them to invade once they are ready"
"Where shall we expand Master? Toward the desert?"
"No, Abaddon is ruling over that land, we will be expanding to the east while humans take the opposite direction of Hortus"
"Then I shall have Nee ready to set up multiple bases there"
"Bases are unneeded, merely invade and retreat, before long new lands will open to our east so nobody must be in foreign territory else they would be separated by us by the span of a whole planet"
"!"
New lands? If it meant what she believed then a really good treat was awaiting them, especially since the east was to be vampire territory as agreed by the alliance treaty
'Then I shall immediately have her double the troops training speed"
Mia said, disappearing after he dismissed her, new lands was exactly what their newly arising branch race needed
