--> Profession :

[Swordsmanship lvl.4]

The degree of understanding of the sword has evolved to the next level. User will find it easier to understand previously harder concepts.

--> Martial Manual :

[★★★★★ Keiki style] - Essence realm of mastery.

Sword art created by Grandmaster Toshimoto Keiki. A five-star module focused primarily on reaching the apex of swordsmanship and speed. Upon mastery, the sword art becomes so fast that before an opponent could even think about their next move, their heads would already be rolling on the ground.

[★★★ Ring of vindication] - Essence realm of mastery.

Highly advanced sword art that creates a perfect ring of defense around the user. The ring can create a three-dimensional sphere that protects the user from all sides upon mastery. Because of the lack of offensive capabilities, the manual was graded three stars.

[★★★ Drifting steps] - Greater realm of mastery.

Movement art that progresses with each step. With every step taken, user speed will increase. Unless the user stops, speed will continuously improve until the user either runs out of mana or is injured.

[★★★✰ Quick-slash style] - Minor realm of mastery.

A sword art fully focused on speed. With one quick draw, the user gains the ability to kill an opponent without them noticing anything had happened. Created to replicate the Keiki style. After years of research, this sword art was the result.

[★★★ Full-body martial arts] - Greater realm of mastery.

Hand-to-Hand combat technique dedicated to utilizing every single part of the body to incapacitate the enemy. It may be a 3-star art, but upon mastery, it can be used to complement other forms of martial art.

--> Skills :

[[G] Monarch's indifference]

A skill that enables users to erase all emotions, and act as a supreme monarch that only calculates the best option regardless of circumstance.

[[D] The one]

A skill that enables the user to instill fear into the opponents' minds resulting in them feeling like they were standing before a sovereign that overlooked everything. The skill may work on individuals who are one rank higher than them, however, if the difference between the two parties is greater than two ranks, the skill effect diminishes.

[[A] Eyes of Chronos]

Upon using this skill, the user will be able to see everything in slow motion. The more mana is used, the slower the time will be in their eyes.

'I'm slowly getting there.'

I inwardly muttered as I stared at my charm which was now in the rank range.

After my contract with Angelica dissolved, my charm and my stats immediately dropped back down to where they were originally supposed to be.

For about a week, staring at myself in the mirror, depression once again overcame me as recollections of my handsome days would spring upon me from time to time.

Still wasn't over it if I had to be honest.

Sigh.

That aside, my strength did drastically rise over the past year, and just a few months ago, I broke through to rank.

'Can't have everything.'

I muttered in consolation.
