Chapter 70: Chapter 70During lunch, Aaron did a bit of reading. After that, he went to train in the training building. With the help of this training, by night, there were some changes in his status panel, improvements to be exact, similar to what he had experienced the previous day.

    Aaron was able to increase his physical attributes by +10 during training, improving a total of +15 for the day.

    During the morning, he improved INT and WIS by +10, which made him improve only by +5 in those two attributes before night.

    Now, with the training facilities, he can improve all attributes by +15, which left a bit of bad taste in Aaron’s mouth.

    He is a spellcaster. His INT and WIS are supposed to be higher than other attributes, and the growth rate should also be higher. This was why he was capable of adding +15 to them while he could only add +10 to the other attributes before now.

    Now, with the aid of the training facilities, the growth rate of all attributes became similar.

    He was becoming more of an all-rounder, but that was not something he wanted to become.

    There are many who would equally distribute their FSPs to the attributes, making all the attribute values more or less the same.

    There are many awakeners who would sink most of their FSPs to their main attributes while allocating the bare minimum to other attributes.

    In Aaron’s opinion, neither of these options is good. Sёar?h the N?velFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    The first option, allocating the FSPs equally, defeats the purpose of the profession that they awakened. Every profession depends on certain attributes more than others. So this attribute(s) should be higher than other attributes, or else the process of awakening a profession would become moot.

    The second scenario, where most of the FSPs were dumped in the main attribute while distributing a bare minimum to other attributes, might look good on paper but not in reality.

    Aaron is a spellcaster. So, if he dumps all his FSPs into INT and WIS, then his mana pool would increase, and so would his spell power. He would be able to cause maximum damage to his enemies with minimum attacks, but there is an issue with that.

    Even though spellcasters may not think that physical attributes are important for their profession, they are. For the body to survive the flow of mana, its power needs to be high or else, too much mana flow would poison the body slowly or may even cause the body to rupture, which is dangerous to the person.

    So, a physically fit body was needed, even if you are a mage or any spellcaster.

    This was why Aaron made sure that he thought to allocate properly to all attributes, even before he awakened. When he awakened and got the 10x talent that gave him ten times the FSPs than one normally would get, the calculations didn’t change.

    The number did, but the ratio of allocations remained the same.

    He allocated 3 to INT/WIS, while 2 to other attributes. At first, he didn’t follow this ratio perfectly as there was no need to do so at Rank-0, but his main attributes increased higher than the other attributes.

    Whichever he felt needed to be improved, he improved. Only after reaching Rank-1 did he need to follow that properly, but with the training facilities, that couldn’t be followed properly.

    If not for the fact that he allocated a lot more attributes to INT/WIS before, they would have been at the same value. Even if that was so, the difference between them was not very high.

    Looking at the small difference between these attributes, Aaron couldn’t help but lament, "It was well and good, but I really need to find some skills that I can spam at dummies. Only this way can my body handle a much higher increase in INT/WIS".

    Training is everything, and the best way to improve faster, which Aaron understood very well.

    "I do have three chances of choosing a general skill. I should check which is the best one to choose and can be used on dummies, so that I can use that mediattion room", Aaron thought about the new skills he could get but postponed, fearing that he may choose a wrong one and waste his chance.

    ---

    After dinner, Aaron was finally able to do what he wanted to, increase the Summon Skeleton rank to Rank-8.

    After he was able to increase his level to level 24, he had more than enough Skill Points (SPs) to upgrade his skill rank.

    From Rank-7 to rank-8, a total of 200 SPs were needed, and Aaron had 293 of them. He immediately consumed them to improve his skill rank.

    --

    Skills/Spells: Summon Skeleton (70/70) (Rank 7) (70/90) (Rank 8);

    Skill Points: 293 93

    --

    He immediately used those SPs to improve his skill rank to Rank-8. As he did that, the total number of skeletons that he could have at a time rose from 70 to 90, a total of 20 increase, which was consistent with the increase when the rank increased to Rank-7.

    After using the SPs, he now has only 93 more of them.

    His immediate goal was to upgrade the rank of Summon Skeleton to Rank-9 as soon as possible. To be able to do so, he would need 300 SPs, which means he lacks less than 210 SPs to make sure that he reaches that goal of Rank-9.

    A few more level-ups and that would be made possible for him. It can be achieved in 5 to 8 days at maximum. So, no need to fret for now about that.

    After the rank upgrade, he summoned 20 new skeletons that he sent to his undead space a moment later after summoning. Once that was done, he fell on his bed, hoping for some sweet dreams.
