Chapter 151: Albert's Secret
"How do I start this…" Albert thought for a moment and pointed at Shella. "Our Bonk Bats are rather different. Your Bonk Bat can absorb Lustful Energy and separate it into Pure Energy and Lust itself. The Lust will be expelled while the Pure Energy enters your body, strengthening it."
"Yes. I'm aware of it."
"As for my Bonk Bat, it doesn't expel anything. Instead, it absorbs all that Lustful Energy. The Lust will become the fuel of this bat like what you said earlier while the Pure Energy enters my body."
"Hoh? Why is there a difference, Master?"
"I don't understand as well. For now, I treat it as because I'm the master?"
"Ah. Our Bonk Bat is derived from you, so it's obvious that Master can absorb both. However, I don't think there are many differences. The effect of the bat itself seems to be pretty similar. Or does the bat actually follow Master's special constitution?
"Now that I think about it, because I was a duel wielder, I was granted two Bonk Bats. The same applies to Irena. In that case, does this mean the Bonk Bat follows everyone's special needs? Master doesn't have a Magic Power reserved in his body, meaning that no matter what we try, Master won't be able to wield Magic. Hence, the Bonk Bat is giving you the ability needed to wield spells.
"In that case, this is more acceptable. In other words, Master's power has calculated everything within us. However, there is one lacking feature. It's the size of the Bonk Bat.
"Some prefer long bats while some love short bats. There are even sizes like big and small. If we also calculate the type of weapon. That means the Bonk Bat's shape is the weakness of this power. No, should I say limitation?
Shella's analysis shocked Albert. This was the first time Shella heard about this, and she somehow managed to conclude all that with just a single piece of information. Albert felt a bit scared. No wonder Shella chose to become his slave. It was to ensure that she didn't misuse the information.
"Well, I don't know anything. Your opinion might be correct. It might be different… Who knows." Albert shrugged. "Let's move on to the second thing. Anyway, I have the ability to use spells by utilizing the power from the bat as long as I've learned the spell. In other words, I can't replicate anything I don't know."
Shella's expression brightened as she said, "I see. Is that the reason why Master wished to visit the elves? They are adept in Magic and Archery. You wish to learn everything in order to increase the number of spells you have…
"Now that I think about it, Master can use all elements. If I'm not wrong, you can also learn spells so fast that no one can believe them. But if this is the case, Master should have learned all spells from the Spellbooks.
"Seeing that you have enough Magic Power to do it but stick to the spells you just learn… I'm afraid there is also a certain limitation to Master's learning power. Should I say that learning spells is also a special constitution or ability that Master has?
"And because you can only use something at your level, that means you can only learn something similar to your strength," Shella explained what she got from the current information alone.
Meanwhile, Albert was dying on the inside, thinking, 'Goddamn. This genius… No wonder she did all that research when she was alive. Someone like me who never had the chance to get a proper education couldn't hold a candle against her.'
Albert let out a long sigh in defeat.
"Master?"
"Nah, it's nothing." Albert smiled and said, "Your analysis is pretty much accurate."
He even wondered whether he should tell her the truth regarding his learning ability. On the one hand, she might be able to decipher his power. On the other hand, he was afraid Shella might find Bonkey's existence.
Although it was true that he was curious about Bonkey and his creator, he didn't wish to show Bonkey to others.
[I'm just a system. You're free to tell others about me or not. After all, the only thing I can't do is to give you the functions of the system. In other words, everything inside me. As for you, you're my host. Whether you want to tell her about me or not is entirely up to your choice. Though, if I may ask, I'd rather not be known by others.]
Bonkey's statement brought a smile to Albert's face.
'Don't worry, Bonkey. You're special to me. Since you don't want others to know you, I'll just tell them that everything is related to me while making sure there's nothing related to you in the information I share. Though, Shella doesn't seem to be someone who can't keep the secret.'
Albert thought for a moment and said to Shella. "Anyway, let's move on to the last thing I want you to know. My current ability is something that can evolve."
"An ability that can evolve?" Shella fell silent for a moment before asking for confirmation. "Sorry, Master. Is it truly an ability that can evolve or… is it just you who has yet to be strong enough to grasp the rest of your ability?"
"Shella, you're too smart…" Albert sighed.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't say that."
"It's the latter," Albert answered her with a smile.
"I see. I have some doubts about this when Master wants me to wait for the future. Instead of speculation, you actually believe that it's something achievable. In other words, you already know the potential, it's just you haven't had enough strength to use it."
"Anyway, those three things are the secret. I hope you don't disclose it to anyone."
"Don't worry, Master. I shall bring this secret to my grave." Shella nodded. "With these three pieces of information alone, I should be able to advance my research. Like the effect of continuous bonking and other stuff. If I add the data I gathered during the past few days, I can create some advancement in this area."
"Haha, you're too smart indeed… Anyway, that's all. I should go to sleep."
"Yes, good night, Master."
"Good night, Shella."
