Chapter 128 - Memorizing A Technique
As soon as we went back to the inn secretly, I told everything to Ellena. I can\'t bear to keep this excitement, actually. It is just an overpowered system that can defy logic. And just like this, Ellena can overwhelm anyone who dares to offend or harm her.
As I started explaining it to her, she was just frozen. I don\'t know which part of what I said, but I am sure that it was because of my news. Then later, a smile curled up on her lips.
"That is amazing! But... How does it work? Does it have the same mechanism as a blessing?" she asked.
I don\'t know. To be honest, I still have to try. But even if I wanted to try it right now, I still can\'t since I want to gift her a proper fighting technique that is for humans – not for monsters.
And if it also turned out to have limitations, I want everything to be worth it and the effort won\'t be wasted.
Ha… I can\'t contain this happiness. Even in our sleep, I was still smiling. I also tried to concentrate and search for another light, but I couldn\'t find it.
I already have a sign if that\'s so. It means that getting into that light will be a path for me. And if I can get more than I can, I can be a help to Ellena, even though I don\'t have a physical body…
Sighs… This is too frustrating. If I was still me from the past, I would call my current self a slave. But this isn\'t being a slave, I am dedicated. In my life, I haven\'t felt dedicated and inspired aside from reading and learning different things. And Ellena, my host, is not a waste of it since she also has a resolution.
Even though it is unreasonable that my special soul is coincidentally helping me in this different world, I will still use it. Even though it means I am above the gods of this world.
But nonetheless, Ellena is the chosen one destined to save the world. I can just rest after she does it and fulfill my thirst if ever there was one.
I am not a human anymore. And even if I become one, I won\'t feel the same since I already know that I am special.

It was already the next day and I asked to leave her side. Ellena permitted me to leave her for a moment since she felt that I might want to enjoy new things. Though it was absurd, I didn\'t deny it since I am actually like that. It\'s the reason I am \'here\' in the first place.
"Just be careful," she said, even though there was Thalia at her side. Well, she already knows about my strange existence, so it won\'t cause any problems. Furthermore, even if she tries to leak the information, it will be futile because her blood and life are bound to be obedient and loyal to Ellena.
"What are you talking about? No one can notice me!"
Except for Verxal.
"Yeah. I know that." She chuckled and then I left her side to do her training.
I left the inn and went straight into a library. This library is located in the noble district of the city. However, it was open to the \'public\'. It\'s just that the owner feels safe in the noble district.
I just entered the seemingly bookstore-like building. Just after I entered, I saw a long counter starting from the side of the door until half the first floor.
Behind the counter were bookshelves and an attendant.
I just passed through everyone on the floor and went straight to the row of bookshelves. Even if there are people in here, I didn\'t hesitate to read the label of books. Of course, I did not lift it to not cause a commotion.
After some searching, I found a particular fighting technique book. From the title itself, it says it was for fighting, so I believe it has a fighting technique.
Looking around, I picked up the book secretly and opened it on the top of the shelf, where no average person could see it. I read every word and after just 20 minutes, I already memorized it.
This book\'s fighting techniques were based on swordplay. Every chapter of the book contains different forms. It was 8 and in the combine, it was one fighting technique.
Fighting techniques don\'t actually have a fixed number of forms. It just depends if the technique can fulfill the creator\'s satisfaction.
After some reading, I looked at the system by calling it.
"Technique Bringer."

Hm… It seems to be classy. Even though I already saw this yesterday, it still feels surreal. Not exaggerating the fact that the design appears to be different from Ellena\'s status. This window seems to be a style of Greek mythology, which I suppose I thought since I saw mistletoe in the designs, but the system is actually unrelated to Greek mythology, design was.
Nevertheless, I think my job here is partially done, so I decided to find another one.
After a few minutes of searching, I saw another fighting technique, but when I read it, it was a movement-based fighting technique where it focuses on confusing enemies with extreme movements. I must say that this is an assassin type.
I read it and memorized everything. It was just updated in the system, and after some reading, I finally felt satisfied.
After this, I will surely gift Ellena. But the question was still there. Was there any limitation? The information in my brain can\'t answer that particular question.
So, I just went back to Ellena. I can\'t waste my time here. I will gift a technique to Ellena and see if she can try it. Maybe a quest will do.
I just hope that no unnecessary development is on the way.. It feels like since yesterday, \'Noelle\'s\' watchers became active.
