“No No master…Spells and Skills are very different from each other.”

“What…?”

Anon was sitting in front of Mike Who got all of his magic powers back and now looks more handsome than him.

“What the hell do you mean…?”

Anon came to the basement to have sex with sephie but Mike told him that she went to the city to get some alchemy materials.

That’s when he saw Mike teaching his class of ogres that were intrested in magic.

That’s when he heard a unique line “…So that’s the difference between Skills and Spells.”

“Mike can i talk to you ?”

“Yes master. Class continue to revise what i just explained.”

After going to a different room both of their discussion begin.

“You see master, skills can only be Learned over time by practicing them over and over, whereas Spells are made out of ancient texts that are left by our ancestors and spells can be used right off the bat once you learn the circle pattern and Spell mana shaping.”

“Who will win in a match of two mages where one is using only spells while other one is only using skills ?” Anon asked immediately.

“It’s a little hard to tell but i can tell you that the spell mage will have advantage in that senerio if he knows even one good spell.”

“Explain more.”

“Let’s assume that you use a skill, let’s take [Inferno Spear] and launch it towards me what do you think i will do ?”

“Use a defensive skill.”

“Right but that will not be the safest way to get unharmed from that attack. If i use a defensive Spell i will made it out unharmed no matter the skill.”

“Are you serious? Then what’s the point of learning Skills ?”

“Skills can be used with spells to improve their performance Drastically. Come let me show you.”

Both of them entered a new room that looked like a big training ground it had dummies made out of wood lined up on both sides.

“What are those ?”

“These are some high level Training Dummies that i created to teach magic to the Ogres.”

“Oh.”

“Look first i will hit that dummy with a skill then with a Spell and then i will add both of them.”

“Ok.” Anon nodded in excitement.

“O Helena Grant me Your will and power.” Mike said as he raised his hand towards the dummy and suddenly 5 golden circle with different magic patterns on each appeared in fron of his hand that rotated at very high speed and suddenly a very bright beam left Mike’s hand and…

*Boom* Destroyed the dummy but the dummy restored immediately and a number appeared on it’s head.

<7999+ DMG Received>

“What the hell was that ?”

“It was a Skill called [AURA BEAM].”

“Wow that was cool and that number denotes the damage you did right?”

“Yes master. Let me show you a spell now.”

This time mike didn’t moved from his place and just stood there.

“Is something about to happen?”

<99999999+ DMG Received>

“Whaaaat ? How ? You didn’t even moved.”

“I’ve Honed this Spell for over 1000 years so it’s now invisible to bare eyes.”

“W-What?” Anon asked with a surprised expression.

“This is my ultimate spell…[32 Death’s Sleep Slash]”

“Death’s Sleep Slash…?”

“Yes, in this spell you slash your opponent on it’s 32 vital spots and finish his existence before he can even blink.”

“You slashed that thing 32 times and i wasn’t able to see even one of them, is that what you are saying?”

“Yes.”

Fuck he is so strong even though he is a mage.

Wait.

“Wait how can you slash it when you don’t even have a weapon.”

“Who said I don’t have a weapon ?” Mike said as he showed me his black nails that shined brighter than a sword.

“You did that damage with your nails ?”

“Yes…”

Fuck…this guy is practically a god in his own league.

“Teach me that spell.”

“Not that easy. You may think it’s easy but it has many skills behind it as i was telling you. When i used this Spell i initiated many skills before it’s execution. Like [Haste], [Strengthening], [Cut], [Harden] and many more but i didn’t have to activate them one by one you see i have made a skill set of choosen skills that will activate all at once and create this spell.”

Suddenly something triggered in Anon’s mind and he immediately grabbed his own head in a frustrated manner.

This idiot is talking about a [Skill Combo] All this time. Obviously when you launch a skill against many skills it won’t work you idiot.

It’s just many skills executing at the same time and they named it spell instead of Skill Combo.

“You understand the difference between a Skill and a Spell now master ?”

“Yes, perfectly.” 𝗼𝘃𝗹.𝗼𝐫𝗴

“Good now let me teach you a basic spell called [Thunder javelin].”

“Yeah okay.”

“Here these are two skills that you will have to learn master before using this spell.”

He gave me two piece of papers with two different magic circles imbueded on them.

“Please learn them and increase their level upto 10 in both skills to use the spell efficiently.”

I looked at the page and suddenly two notification popped up in front of me.
