Mixed Blessing System

"So I will have to do that?" Lothur muttered as he considered such a thing necessary for him to achieve his goals and avoid the worst he had seen in the previous 'dream.'

"Yes, they are very good at keeping information, so neither my family nor I can help you get what you want," Anneke told him.

"I see..."

After talking about this matter, Lothur and Anneke spent a few more minutes together, with him noting her cultivation level once again.

She had recently advanced to level 8, but Lothur was disregarding her good cultivation speed because of what would happen soon...

'Don't worry, Anne. You won't be far behind Elke and Annaliese...' He smiled at that thought and said goodbye to that beautiful woman before continuing to train his poisonous skills with Rebecca.

...

[Bronze-grade poison resistance.]

[Progress: 45%]

Lothur saw the system warning just after he finished training with his senior in the poison art. He was pleased with his progress, even considering that such a thing was getting slower.

However, he had another of his resistances on his mind and asked that green-haired woman. "Becca, can you point me to reliable cultivators with techniques or skills that create flames? That is, special places with flames will also do. It doesn't have to be a cultivator per se."

Hearing this question from her junior, Rebecca finished putting on her clothes after getting out of the poisonous tub she was training in with Lothur and said. "Flames? Why do you want to face someone capable of disposing of flames?"

"I need to train a trait of mine that is in a bottleneck..." He said, not lying at all.

The progress of Lothur's Iron-grade flame resistance was at 98%. So he wanted to raise such a thing to Bronze-grade classification and perhaps gain some benefits for going through such an advancement.

He knew there were special regions where he could train his flame resistance, but he did not know their location. At the same time, there was a possibility that he could use unique resources to help in this, but although he had searched, he had yet to find any of them.

Since Rebecca was one of the women he knew who had the most knowledge regarding body training, he was questioning her on this subject.

She listened to his response and said. "So you want to train a flame-related trait... Well, a reliable cultivator with that ability, I don't know of any. But why don't you produce a formation capable of expelling flames and use that the way you want?"

"Uh?" Lothur opened his mouth and eyes wide, not believing that he had overlooked such a possibility. 'It's true! I can do that!' He felt embarrassed for the first time in a long time, noting that he was so overwhelmed with so many things going on at once that he had ignored this.

He was not sure if he could develop a powerful enough formation at the moment to train such a trait after reaching Bronze grade. But at least raising his stamina to that rank he was sure he was capable of.

After that, he would need to be a 2-star formation master, someone who would necessarily need to have 2nd-stage soul cultivation. However, since he did not have that for the moment, it would be a while before he could develop formations useful for training resistances above the Iron grade.

'In any case, if I apply this idea to the element of darkness, I believe I can develop something useful for that other resistance...' He pondered, already putting it on his 'agenda' to produce these formations and then begin special training for his resistance.

He then smiled at Rebecca, making this beautiful woman laugh as she realized that although talented, Lothur had his flaws.

"It is as the saying goes, 'in a blacksmith's house, the skewer is made of wood...'" He remarked to her.

She laughed, but after a while, she said. "Anyway, if you are still interested in places or resources that can help you with this, look at the Sector-6 quests. There you will find quests that will take you to places with what you are looking for."

"Is that right? Thanks..."

With that settled, Lothur said goodbye to this woman and continued his responsibilities at the academy until mid-afternoon.

He then said goodbye to Annaliese and Elke as he left the academy to buy some alchemy and medicine ingredients at local stores.

...

After some time shopping in the central area of Peters City, Lothur was leaving the last store when he suddenly began to feel like he was being watched.

He noticed there, with his visual ability, several of the spies from his enemy noble families. Still, these individuals did not cause his current feeling, so he stopped at a corner without moving. Lothur was not being able to find anything to justify this feeling in his being but was the type to trust his instincts.

So, he prepared to teleport if necessary while he already had the Elemental Staff in one of his hands.

'Who is this? I can feel that someone is watching me, but I can't find the bastard.' He looked from one side of the street to the other while spies from local families also looked at him with concern.

None of them felt what Lothur felt, but they all noticed something was wrong, or he would not have stopped so suddenly and picked up that 'stick of a broom.'

They could not feel anything from the artifact in one of Lothur's hands. Still, these people could determine that he was preparing for something.

'I wouldn't be surprised if he climbed on that thing and started flying...' One of the individuals who hated Lothur the most thought about it.

Some female demons in this world had a habit of flying on artifacts that looked like brooms. Since everyone considered Lothur's talent demonic, this man could not help but make the joke in question in his mind.

At the same time as the spies there found Lothur's behavior strange, the person responsible for all this was also surprised.

'It looks like he managed to sense something...' A man dressed in black, mask on his face, thought about this as he camouflaged himself with his bloodline skill.

'Sigh, it looks like there's nothing to do. I'll have to take him from this place anyway.' This man considered, as he felt he would have to cover his tracks by knocking out the people in the surrounding area.

He decided what he had to do, then released a fraction of his will, causing a pulse to start from his being and spread about 30 meters away from him in all directions.

After such a thing appeared, almost everyone in the surroundings suddenly fainted. At the same time, such a person did not even have a chance to realize that Lothur was different. He acted so fast that before the time needed for a person like young Ritter to fall to the ground after fainting, he already had that body in his hands.

In this situation, the enemy acted so fast that Lothur did not even have a chance to teleport!
