Thyra took a deep breath and put her hand on the orb. It lights up, forming a transparent screen above the orb.

[Lighting step (green)]
"Oh! I have never expected you to have an orange-level skill." Hure was genuinely surprised, "Looks like the essence was really compatible with you?"
Although Thyra had never used it herself, she had seen others using it. Never had she seen any yellow skills before, much less an orange skill. Then again, none of her soldiers who had used it before had a rare essence, much less a unique one.
From what Jullia had told her, she knew that the higher the colour of the skill, the more powerful it was. Violet is the weakest skill, followed by indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.
Thyra looked at Hure, asking, "Isn't that because of the unique beast essence."
Hure shook her head, adding, "The beast's essence does play a big part. What is more important is how much essence one can absorb."
"How much essence can one absorb?"
"When you had absorbed the essence, your soul was much stronger than your body. As a unique beast, the physical abilities of your essence beast might have been much stronger than those of other beasts, but the skill you received is average. It means your body wasn't strong enough to absorb the skill completely."
Thyra knew what Hure had said was correct. When Thyra came to this world, her body was really that of a sheltered princess. Although it had improved, it was far from where Thyra wanted it to be.
"However, your soul was highly developed. Your understanding of the element of essence was higher. That was also why you could unlock high levels of elemental skill."
"So, the physical abilities depend on physical compatibility, while the elemental abilities depend on souls." Thyra felt that made sense. After all, her soul was much more mature than the actual Thyra, who might be just a bleep in the actual novel.
Still, there was something that didn't make sense to Thyra. She asked, "Isn't agility's skill level higher than lighting steps?"
Hure shook her head, adding, "If a well-trained one absorbs a rare essence, they can still earn yellow-level agility skills. However, it is hard to earn even a blue-level elemental skill."
"This means that even at the same level, a physical skill is much weaker than an elemental skill.
"Yes. However, more importantly, if you are injured, you won't be able to use a physical boost, while the elemental boost doesn't depend on your body."
Thyra got the gist of it. "So I can transform into lighting because of the lightning step skill?"
"Transform?" Hure looked at her, not believing what Thyra had said. Seeing Thyra nod, Hure asked, "Did an elemental mage teach you?"
"Why?"
"Elemental transformation isn't a type of skill that you can get even if you want. It doesn't matter if the beast could do it or not. If only you can comprehend the concept of the element, you can transform."
For Thyra, who had come from Earth and had a substantial amount of education, it wasn't much of a problem.
Hure misunderstood her expression, saying, "The comprehensive knowledge is well-guarded. Only the higher echelon of the royal institute has access to them."
"Is there really a need to guard what air is? Everyone can understand what fire does and why water flows…"
"It's hard for a genius like you to understand the struggle of normal people." Hure simply shook her head.
Thyra didn't need to worry about it as long as it was a good thing. What she was worried about was something else. "These are about the skills of bull essence. What about the slime essence?"
Hure shook her head, adding, "I have never seen anyone with dual essence. I don't know."
Thyra understood why that was the case. If one soul can only possess one essence, she understood it was possible because her body once housed two souls.
"Your thunder bull was still the Dominant one." Hure thought for a moment, adding, "If we could suppress your dominant essence, Essence suppression cuff?"
"No, I have something better. But the problem is, I don't know how to use it." Thyra pulled out the ball with an intricate design.
"How do you have that?" Hure was shocked to see it but didn't dare touch it. "Such a high-grade product. This is just the second time I have seen it."
"When was the first time?"
"At the auction." Hure sighed, saying, "It's a really high-grade item. But where did you get it?"
After Thyra explained, Hure asked in a serious voice, "Are you sure your brothers and sisters didn't know of your existence?"
"They shouldn't be." Thyra was convinced that it wasn't the case.
"That thing is the product of the royal academy. Other than the royal family, nobody should have access to it."
"But…" Thyra knew that if what Hure had said was true, she might be in serious danger.
"The ducal family might also be a possibility." Hure added, "After all, your father has one or two partners from three out of four ducal families."
"Whatever the case, I have progressed with the thought that they know about my existence. Underestimating my enemy is the last thing I could do. But for now, I need to understand how to use this."
"You normally would have needed a mage to reset it. However, as it was used on you last time, it would be easier. You can pour your essence energy, and it will…"
Hure didn't get to finish her sentence before the ball fell on the table. The intricate design was glowing blue.
"Are you okay?" Looking at her formless body, Hure was a little concerned.
She could see the slime was moving but wasn't sure if Thyra could hear it. Hure watched as the slime moved towards the orb and touched it. As soon as the slime touched it, it began glowing, and text appeared on the transparent panel.
[Accelerated Healing (Blue)]
[Mana absorption (Blue)]
[Mana Perception (Indigo)]
[Shapeshifting (Green)]
"Although you didn't get the regeneration ability, you still got a good one. [Shapeshifting] wasn't the skill one normally acquires from a slime."
*Knock* knock*
Hure looked at the slime before ordering the person to come in.
As soon as Selda came in, he noticed the slime on the table.
"Don't worry about it." Hure said, "What is it?"
Selda knew that in the absence of Thyra, Hure was the one who held the highest authority. So, he reported, "The group had returned."
"Oh! What did they recover?"
"Golds are the most common. A few weapons and two essences, also…" Selda hesitated, adding, "There are also many people."
"People?"
"Did not the Orcs and Kobolds destroy the camp?"
I believe the woman who led them to safety was the partner of the chief. Selda paused, asking, "What should we do with them?"
Hure looked at the slime, adding, "Imprison them right now. My lady will make a decision."

"At the auction." Hure sighed
"That thing is the product of the royal academy. Other than the royal family, nobody should have access to it."
hure contradicting herself within like 100 words...
Sorry, but there is no problem in that. Point is it is made by royal academy, and royal family can use it. It does not mean it can't be sold.
Woul a 'black market' word help you?
[Shapeshifting (Green)]
This has a lot of potential.
That is the most important one of them all.
@killjoy1307 can she hide her dong, so people believe she is a female?
Also is Indigo the last or the first among the tiers, like if they are based on the rainbow, it could be Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Violet, Indigo, but it could start with Indigo and then end in Violet... I'm gonna asume that Indigo is the lowest rank as no one made a fuss over Mana Perception (Indigo)
Wonder if they can evolve their essense or in her case, combine them. Like are they stuck with the skill they were compatible with, or can they train them to increase the rank of the skills. Pretty sure the OG MC of that world is gonna be OP as fųçk. Hope they both become friends and f*ck budies.
@Ruiso although she couldn't hide the dong perfectly right now, she would be able to soon.
For the colour. From the place I am from we use VIBGYOR to describe the colour of rainbow. So, Violet-Indigo-Blue-Green-Yellow-orange- red. With Violet being the weakest and red being the strongest. Sorry for the confusion.
The elemental abilities can evolve. It is not just unique to Thyra, it can evolve with comprehension ability of the bearer.
And if you are talking about Hure, you will see soon enough.
@killjoy1307 after red it loops back to Violet again, that is why the RGB rainbow effects can loop so simingly, though I think some brands add more colors.
And I meant the Original Protagonist of the novel she read before she died that was a prisoner on the first coupple of chapters that absorbed the Fenrir essense whose dong was described as being a bit canine. Like she hasn't been mentioned in a while.
I like know that Hure will start joining Jullia room services after she gives birth to her kid with the cute guard. She is probably will get pregnant pretty soon after she is able to again. Nisa will need to hurry up or there will be nothing left for her. Like there are so many hours in a night... and Thyra is a machine, she can train all day and then fųçk all night to then go back to training...
@Ruiso The red will be the end, no back to violet.
For Reha, the main novel mc, she will not be here till volume three. as he would returned to rex kingdom after the civil war would start in her own country. she will get mentioned but won't appear till 3rd.
And the third paragraph is related to the rage topic. so, wait and see.
@killjoy1307 nice, can't wait to see or like read more.
