SSS Ranked Awakening: All My Skills Are at Level 100

After the change in his fundamental beliefs about mana and elements—or rather, the whole magical world—slowly but surely, the rate at which his control over the elements increased.

Not instantly, but he saw only little changes over time, which made his belief even stronger over the past year.

Realizing what was correct and fully believing in that fact—leaving behind his previous beliefs—was a different matter, and it took a year to fully change his core understanding of mana, elements, and magic, which made the speed of learning elements many times faster.

And the feeling of an unknown power drawing closer as he made progress in the elements was getting stronger and stronger, especially in his lightning element, which he had the most control over among all the elements. He knew the unknown power was the concept of elements, the first level of which was Aura, which he was about to reach in the lightning element.

That wasn’t all, as over the last year, he had focused on practicing his Rajin’s Descent, hoping to bring it to the Grandmaster level, and it felt like he would reach that level in a few weeks.

His control over the lightning element was now three times stronger than before, compared to the other elements.

He could reach the limit of controlling 1,000 mana in the lightning element, but he had never truly launched an attack with it; he had only created a huge, towering spear and canceled it right after.

But this was now his strongest attack, and the devastation it would cause would be many times stronger than the one he used to destroy the small mountain. That wasn’t all. With all the other elements, using 700 mana at the same time was now possible.

The only reason he couldn’t reach 1,000—same as the lightning element—was due to his control over those elements, not because of mental pressure.

Another two months had passed. Leon was standing in front of a large mountain, using the Rajin’s Descent technique. The horn made of lightning was pulsating with intense energy as he punched the gigantic mountain, 200 meters tall, in front of which he looked like an ant.

Every punch made the ground beneath him tremble with the shock. Small craters, five meters wide and one meter deep, were being imprinted on the surface with each punch.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

More

He continued, pouring every ounce of his power into every attack while completely focused on maintaining the circulation of the lightning element within his body.

Suddenly, the horn on top of his head burst into lightning particles and entered his body. His eyes gleamed with excitement as he saw the message floating in front of him. He ignored it completely and continued punching.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Now, instead of the horn, only faint lightning crackled all over his body—thin as threads of silk—but the color of the lightning was no longer glowing yellow; it had reached a hue closer to gold.

Another punch.

The devastation it caused was many times stronger than before. Instead of five-meter craters, the surface was now marked with ones closer to twenty meters wide and three meters deep. The tremors it caused to the surrounding area were even greater. Small rocks shook and floated in the air with every punch.

Seraphine, from a distance of fifty meters, could clearly hear the loud booming sound. She realized that he had reached the Grandmaster level in Rajin’s Descent.

She had thought it would take him at least two years to achieve that, but the growth he had experienced from a single fundamental realization was far more than she had imagined.

And she knew reaching Grandmaster in another technique would take even less time, as he had told her two months ago that he had completely overcome his beliefs from the previous world, and there was nothing holding him back anymore.

So these past one year and two months were not uniform—his speed had only reached its peak in the last two months.

Seraphine had just achieved Master rank in the Skybreaker Draw technique two days ago, and now she was aiming to reach Grandmaster level in her Mana Body Enhancement. She knew it would take years to achieve this.

She just hoped that by the time her six-year period was over—which meant eighteen years for Leon—she would have reached the Grandmaster level of mastery. It would definitely make her twice, or even thrice, as strong. It was the most fundamental technique that required no skill scroll to learn, as it would automatically appear in your system once you learned to control mana.

People called it a gift of the system. She believed it was the best choice for her to train this, as it would also improve her mana control, allowing her to spend less mana on her techniques and skills. She didn’t think she needed to advise her disciple, as with the rate of his progress, he had so much time that he would definitely attain Grandmaster level in Mana Body Enhancement, too.

She was excited for the day they would reach the Kingdom of Champagne. She even felt now that her disciple might actually take on an army by the time they reached there, as his strength was increasing at a terrifying pace.

Her shock didn’t end there. Suddenly, she felt a familiar energy coming from the direction where Leon was training. She recognized it immediately.

Aura.

She hadn’t felt the increase in sound from the devastating punches he had been landing on the poor mountain for days, but she knew that reality up close would be much different.

Suddenly, a faint yellow, mysterious Aura appeared around his hands, only covering his fists. He recognized it as the first level without even needing to read the message from his system.

But unlike his master—who could cover her entire body and weapon with Aura—and whose intensity was many times stronger, his was limited. He punched again, maintaining his Aura with full force, while Rajin’s Descent remained continuously active.

The result made his eyes widen in shock, as the difference was immense. A thought crossed his mind. If Seraphine had managed to catch him that day, he would have had no chance of stopping her attack, no matter how much mana he had poured into his ice element.

Now he believed it was only because of his space element that he was able to stop her.

He realized how overpowered the space element actually was—it could render even Aura useless if he had enough mana, as he had used three times more total mana than she had to make her completely immovable.
