Today I woke up seeing Ibuki lying beside me, unlike in the past she is not clinging to me, what she is doing is holding my hand while she sleeps.

She's been with me the longest, I know she's worried about me, Érica told me how she's been spending every moment training, Ibuki's mind is simple, what she's been thinking about is becoming strong to protect me since Kira and Diana are not present.

I know I've been worrying about her but this is a good time to build more of her personality, these moments will make her more responsible and aware of others around her I hope.

"Ibuki, I asked you to let me know when the master wakes up, not for you to sleep beside him." (Érica)

Érica soon entered the room, it seems that Ibuki should let her know when I wake up.

"It's okay Érica." (I)

"She's tired, with the two of you just for watch shifts and she trying hard on her training, she's overworking herself like I usually do." (I)

"So you admit it?" (Érica)

"Yes, but I'll probably keep doing it, Ibuki is always watching me, unfortunately, he ended up catching one of my bad habits." (I)

After Érica came in, she and I talked a little before she left, I went back to reading books today.

I'm going to enjoy being stuck in bed to read as much as I can, today I'm going to read three books I'm going to read about alchemy, magical engineering, and the three forms of energy.

I spent the morning reading about energy forms, I thought this was important knowledge.

What I found was that the three types of energy are much more different than I imagined.

Magic energy is influenced by the user's mind, that's why it's so important to have a clear picture of the magic you're going to use, this energy can deal moderate damage both physically and energy.

Ki is energy that acts on the user's body and responds to instincts, some who are considered talented can use it in their weapons and armor as well, this energy can do extreme physical damage, but it doesn't have much effect against other forms of energy as magical barriers.

Spiritual energy is easily influenced by its user's emotions, usually, if you need to be an energy race or have a contract with a creature of that race to use this energy, this energy can do extreme damage to other forms of energy, but its damage. is minimal on physical targets.

Reading about this I realized that Ki and spiritual power are very specialized and opposites, whereas magical energy is not specialized but can be used in more situations and is flexible.

Everything I learned in this world surprised me, but it also showed me infinite possibilities.

In the book, it is said that few people try to learn more than one type of energy, because it takes time, study, training, and a lot of effort to use these energies to their full potential.

Those who can train in two types of energy are considered geniuses, and I have only one case recorded of someone who successfully trained in all three types of energy, that would be a Summoned Hero a thousand years ago.

This shows that it can be difficult but not impossible to learn the three types of energy.

In my case I took some shortcuts, which others trained and struggled for years to learn I acquired eating the bandits and monsters, I already have the three skills to feel these energies, I just need to have all the skills to control them.

I may have taken a shortcut, but that just leaves me at the starting point for each energy, it doesn't make me stronger either, it just gives me more possibilities.

The book also mentioned that the saints of religions had another type of energy, but it was just a quote, there was no explanation or name of what type of energy this would be, it made me understand that I cannot consider the information in these books as complete, this world has many secrets and I have to keep an open mind if I want to have a good life here.

-------------

After reading about the energies I stopped to eat some fruit that Ibuki brought me to my room, then I picked up another book, this one talking about alchemy.

I spent a few hours reading it and came to the conclusion that I didn't understand anything, one of the reasons I don't understand anything is that it talks about many ingredients and skills that I don't know.

Knowing this I ask Érica to get a book like the encyclopedia of magical plants, ingredients for alchemy, and medicines, this book was too big so I didn't even try to read it in its entirety, I just researched the ingredients that the alchemy book mentioned.

I also had to ask for a book that describes several common skills, my web nest was with three books open in front of me, I always try to research an ingredient or skill, it was exhausting and time-consuming work for my mind.

I spent the entire afternoon doing this, it's been a long time since I study like that, the last time was before I was admitted to the hospital in my previous life, at that time I was researching Asian mythologies, I wanted to create a game aimed at an Asian audience.

------------

When it was already night I closed all the books and learned many things.

I learned that elemental affinities are important not only for combat work, works aimed at creation like alchemy also use elemental affinities.

There are potions for everything, such as poisons, antidotes, recovery, Stamina, cleansing, to increase resistance to some element, to temporarily increase one's physical status, or even potions to grow hair.

There are also attack potions, these potions are dropped on a target, and when the bottle breaks it can cause an explosion, freezing, poison cloud, etc.

To create potions not only the ingredients are needed, but also depending on the Alchemist's elemental affinities and abilities, for example, an Alchemist with an elemental affinity for fire can create an explosive potion, but cannot create a freezing potion, this is not limited just for attack potions but also with many others.

I also learned that not all Alchemists choose to work peacefully in a lab, there are combat Alchemists too, they are rare but they are very versatile.

For Combat Alchemists two skills are of utmost importance, one is [ Potion Control: 1 ] which allows them to manipulate their potions and mix them quickly by floating in front of you and the other skill is [ Potion Multiplication: 1 ] This skill allows you to use a drop of potion to create more of the same potion, a drop can turn into a liter or ten liters of potion depending on the skill level, but the Alchemist's magic energy is consumed in proportion to the amount created and the potion multiplied with this ability will only exist temporarily, it has to be used right after creation or it will disappear.

Combat Alchemists are known to carry several potion bottles that they use to mix during combat to create a wide variety of attacks.

I was very surprised with the way Alchemists fight, from the description the book speaks they must be weak in hand-to-hand combat but must be able to create potions of recovery, support, strengthening, and attack for themselves or their comrades.

It was an eye-opener for me to read this book, it seems I can't underestimate anyone for their work, there are countless ways for someone to become strong in this world.

"Have you finished reading?" (Érica)

At some point Érica had entered the room without me noticing, I think I was so immersed in my reading and my thoughts that I didn't pay much attention to my surroundings.

"I'm done for today." (I)

"I was very surprised with the Alchemists, I didn't think there was a way for them to fight too." (I)

"The master is talking about Combat Alchemists?" (Érica)

"Yes." (I)

"These Alchemists are very strange, they are rare but most of them choose to become adventurers." (Érica)

"Why?" (I)

"By ingredients, the Alchemists who choose the path of combat are usually those who want to look for hard-to-find or rare ingredients, they also like to see the effect of their potions." (Érica)

"They are people who are fanatical about their work who want to use it to its full potential." (Érica)

"So it's people who chose to source their ingredients themselves." (I)

"Alchemist work is expensive work, they use a lot of ingredients and usually spend their lives making the same potions over and over again." (Érica)

"But all combat Alchemists make a wide variety of options, they are always researching new potions or new ways to create the same potion." (Érica)

"They like to travel, they do it to find new ingredients and new recipes." (Érica)

"I understand." (I)

"It's already getting dark, where is Ibuki?" (I)

"She's getting a bucket of water from the river nearby." (Érica)

"Kira hasn't come back yet, has she met Diana?" (I)

"I think the master shouldn't worry." (Érica)

"If something had happened to Diana the master would know, as she is her familiar the master must know when she is in danger and if she dies the master will feel his connection to her being severed." (Érica)

"You mean since I haven't felt anything so far she must be fine, right." (I)

"Yes." (Érica)

"But even if I understand what you're talking about, I'll just feel comfortable when she comes back and I see she's okay with my own eyes." (I)
