Chapter 75: Dance with the She-Devil (1)
~Silva K. POV~
[September 7, X784]
*Knock*
*Knock*
Huh?
Waking up early in the morning to finish up my daily quota for my quest I heard a knock at my door overreaching it I greeted the person with surprise in my voice, "Hello what can – oh? Fancy meeting you Elfman."
Elfman appeared at my door when he knocked as he eyed me down responding to me, "Silva right? Mirajane asked me to get you to help shape you up to become a real man!"
Proving his point he flexed his muscles, but I could from his eyes something was up with the muscle man, but I ignored it for now agreeing to follow him but giving me time to prepare my belongings first to which he agreed.
Wonder if Mirajane finally agreed to spar with me in training hand-to-hand combat.
Hmm…
I could use this to save any info into my <Archive Magic> to see if any spells or fighting styles would benefit me the most.
Add the fact Runes is going to take some time to decipher for which I don't have much time multitasking I decided to refocus my efforts on training what I'm capable of doing.
Besides this could be my chance to see how much I've grown as of late with this friendly challenge at least.
And I want to see if I manage to work off this fighting style Erza was known for using The Knight style for me to use.
Skill List.
----
<The Knight> (Active) Lv. 5/100 Exp: 50%
MP Cost: Varies
Description: The Knight is a Caster Magic and a type of Requip and Spatial Magic. This Magic allows the user to store weapons and armors in pocket dimensions and summon them during battle. This gives the user a high level of offense, defense, flexibility, and variety in combat, regarding the type of armor and/or weapon they Requip.
-Increase the effectiveness of weapons by 5%.
-Increase damage and attack speeds of weapons by 5%.
<Parrying Mastery> (Passive) Lv.20/100 Exp: 89%
Description: The user, either innately or through training, is a master of parrying attacks, deflecting physical projectiles and melee attacks away from them, and opening opportunities to strike back. This is the ultimate parrying mechanism, making the user virtually impossible to hit since the user will automatically parry it. Unlike Deflection, this ability deals with strictly physical attacks and objects like melee combat and projectiles.
----
I achieved that thanks to my <Photographic Memory> analyzing her Magic for information with my <Archive Magic> while <Perfect Vision> followed those muscle movements for me to follow.
The rest was leg work but as the saying goes knowledge is power which is why I'm using my own experience to make me stronger in the process.
That and witnessing Erza parry attacks including the wind attacks from Aria also helped quickly
But for now, though I should check up with my stats since I haven't updated them for a while now and have been keeping Elfman busy. Could be a good point to finally upgrade them by now.

Huh?
Blinking a bit surprised since I haven't used my stats that much, I considered which to place them in since I still have a bit of time left before the Tower of Heaven arc happens.
Considering the fact, I have enough extra stats to push one through the 100's I should even things out a bit for what's to come.
With things how they are right now the best outcome would be for me to gain some more INT to increase my MP recovery rate but also the other categories as well are just as important in others.
But then again that LUCK stat is looking short compared to the rest…
Hmm…
Maybe I should boost my AGI since I'm going to fight against Mirajane I should be prepared to face the most I can against her.
Best to enhance my reflexes against her and her Satan Soul abilities. Then probably add the remaining points into LUCK.
A little bit of LUCK hasn't killed me yet and it won't now.
Besides that, little fact it could help tilt the favor against fate when I really need it. Add the fact I have 8 days left and grinding my daily request scores me about 24 extra stats to place for when I need it.
Placing the majority of my stat points into AGI I try to see if I can gain something from it hoping for the best now and place the rest in LUCK for a much-needed balance.

[Ding!]
[Your AGI stat has reached a 100-point mark!]
[Passive Skill <Enhanced AGI> has been added!]
Feeling a bit excited about the new passive skill I got I immediately went to check it out right away.
Skill List.
----
<Enhanced AGI> (Passive) Lv. MAX
Description: This passive skill can be unlocked once reaches 100 stat in AGI. Described as the user with this ability can go from one motion to another effortlessly, effectively dodge attacks, swing from things easily, sprint, do back-flips, leap across rooftops, and numerous other gymnastic, athletic, and martial implements with little to no effort.
Agility is "the ability to rapidly respond or change by adapting its initial stable configuration", the ability to change the body's position efficiently, and requires the integration of isolated movement skills using a combination of balance, bodily coordination, speed, reflexes, strength, and endurance.
-This passive skill grants the user an increase of 15% in evasion and speed.
----
My lips began to curve slightly seeing the benefits of increasing my stats into a new passive skill that jumped my previous <Peak AGI> 15% adding with <Enhanced AGI> 15% stacked ups to 30% of dodging and increase speed.
The extra speed is especially going to be important.
Ignoring the stats, I changed clothing as I followed Elfman leaving the apartments he began to speak out in a surprisingly silent tone, "Say level with me, Silva? Is what from my big sis was true about Lisanna possibly alive…"
I could only smile lightly replying easing the big guy's worries about what really happened to her in a calm tone, "What don't you trust in your family words? I don't know if I can convince you, but would you doubt the words from your sister?"
He paused at that before sighing in relief using <Magic Sense> to detect his calmness in the shift of his mood.
Getting himself back together again rearing up with his manly attitude fist pumping into the air in excitement, "Hell yeah, she's right!! How could I doubt family!! Come on little man will make you a manly man out of you yet by Mira's request big man!!"
I couldn't help but twitch involuntarily at his choice of words but regardless though it seems like I'm getting that hand-to-hand combat after all.
And like so the grind continues –
[Ding!]
[The quest is generated!]
----
Important Quest: Dance with the She-Devil
Description: This is a request from Mirajane as she requested one of the few people to give an S-Class Wizard a challenge. After coming to terms with her control of inner demons she challenged [THE GAMER] to test her might against someone on par against the Element 4.
Objective: Defeat Mirjane while in her Satan Soul Form.
Rewards: Carnage Incarnate – Grand Chariot.
Failure: None.
[Accept: Y] or [Deny: N]
----
I raised an eyebrow at seeing the screen in front of me saying a new set of armor this time.
After all, I have gotten pretty good items from the rewards so far from the quest. They are helpful in their own ways.
No pain no gain they say.
Like that, I began to prepare for another fight ahead.

~Third POV~
Entering through a private area of the Great Plains with Elfman leading Silva they finally arrived at a clearing with Mirajane waiting with a cheerful smile on her face responding, "Oh! Hello, Silva, it seems like you agreed to come for a private sparring session with me. I'm pleased to let you know I'll gladly start teaching you."
Elfman took his way to the side with Silva thanking Mira for the private session with a surprised look on his face, "Thanks for agreeing. Although I can't help but ask why you suddenly took interest in this?"
She laughed innocently at that as Silva sensed danger from that reaction Mira explains further what she meant, "Of course, silly Billy. What I mean is I'll be glad to tutor you, but I also happen to need an opponent to regain my strength again. It was either you, Erza, or Laxus to assist me in that."
Raising an eyebrow at the sudden selection pick unaware he was chosen Elfman caught his attention voicing what Mira meant, "What she means is big sis is trying to regain her strength. When she learned our little sis might be safe, she rushed to Mystogan for help opening Anima but…"
He looked down as Mira cast a saddened expression voicing out her concern about what Elfman meant in a severe tone, "I was weak. Mystogan said as much but if I'm able to regain my old strength again I should be able to convince him otherwise. Before I began though I had to regain my inner demons quite literally again before sparring again. And considering I need an S-Class candidate I was kind of short on the list of people. Tee-hee."
Silva for a part of him now regrets challenging Element 4 because, on a technical level, they were S-Class wizards seeing how he was placed on the list now.
Elfman only nervously laughed scratching the back of his head and voicing out his thoughts in a nervous tone, "Yeah… Erza is gone on request with Natsu's group, Laxus is an asshole, the old man won't be back, Mystogan is on a job, and the only one powerful enough that always trains was…. You man. Hehehe…"
Silva for his part mentally twitched at that.
He was really regretting his earlier choices as Mira laughed lightly congratulating him on being one of her sparring partners, "Haha… don't take it too downy Silva. In a way, you could be counted as an S-Class Wizard since you took down a few members of the Element 4 which made you an ideal training partner while you learn brawling sessions from me. But first I need a spar with your best so don't hold back on my account."
Silva was really regretting his choices now but simply sighed agreeing grabbing Lostvayne and Ricochet at the ready voicing out to Mira, "Well… I did literally ask for this and this might be a better time than ever to learn. I hope to learn the best I can Mira."
She merely opened her eyes as a sinister twinkle replying with one word, "Good."
