Skill List:
[Divine Magic Affinity LV 1]
[Magic Supremacy LV 1]
[Ice Magic Mastery LV 1]
Title: [Witch of Envy]
"No way!" Kumoko was dumbfounded. A half-elf... possessing such powerful initial skills and a title like that?!
Seeing this elven girl possess such powerful starting skills and title, Kumoko was green with envy.
Why?! Why was I born a little spider with only the pitiful [Thread Weaving] skill, and no title to even dream of?! This elven girl, on the other hand, had three super-strong magic skills and the [Witch of Envy] title!
Although [Witch of Envy] wasn't [Ruler of Envy], from its description, it was a growth-type title that would grant increasingly powerful magic abilities as the character grew.
Simply put, this half-elf was a naturally gifted ice mage with numerous magic bonuses. Her future magic power would likely surpass Kumoko's.
Especially with [Ice Magic Mastery], her proficiency in ice magic would reach an unimaginable level.
Fortunately, Kumoko was only shocked for a moment. Then she remembered how strong she was now, which helped her regain some composure.
But if humanity's foremost mage, Ronandt, had used Appraisal on this half-elf girl, he probably would have died from shame on the spot.
Ronandt pursued Magic Supremacy his entire life, yet someone was born with it!
The gap wasn't just terrifying; it was astronomical! It was like dreaming your whole life of earning a hundred million, while some rich kid is born and their parents just transfer a hundred million into their account.
Wouldn't that make anyone mad with jealousy?!
Both Kumoko and Elliot saw it at a glance. This girl... was a genuine high-potential individual! Especially [Ice Magic Mastery] that was an extremely rare skill.
Elemental magic mastery skills were innate; they couldn't be learned. For example, the Earth Dragon race, logically, should possess [Rock Magic Mastery].
But in reality, even creatures as close to the earth as Earth Dragons rarely awakened elemental magic skills.
This led many Earth Dragons to use fire magic instead. Wasn't Araba like that? If one possessed [Rock Magic Mastery], not only would learning rock-attribute magic be incredibly easy, but the power of such spells would also be amplified manifold.
Completely innate, unlearnable the appearance of such a skill would cause a huge sensation.
Both Kumoko and Elliot were momentarily stunned into silence, looking at each other.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! My filthy self shouldn't have appeared before you! I'll leave right now..." Standing before them for so long made Emilia extremely frightened and uneasy; every second was torture.
She wanted to give up everything and leave. If she could just get back to her tree hollow, quietly lick her wounds, and survive on some moss from the walls, she could make it. She no longer dared to hope for sweet fruits.
"Wait a moment," Elliot called out to her. This girl was named Emilia... and she looked remarkably like a certain character with the same name from an anime he'd watched in his past life. Also a half-elf!
"I was wrong! I'll leave right now! Please, don't hurt me..." Feeling him approach, Emilia became even more terrified. A hand blocked the sunlight, reaching towards her.
It's over. Fear gradually spread. She knew she was about to get another beating. Resigned, she closed her eyes.
But she didn't expect that the large, gentle hand would pat her head like the morning sun. It was a warmth she had never felt before, a tenderness that felt almost too luxurious.
For some reason, she even wished he wouldn't take his hand away, allowing her to feel this moment of peace and security.
"Your name is Emilia?"
"Mm..."
"That's a nice name," Elliot praised gently.
Ah—Huh? The young girl was momentarily stunned. Is this some new form of punishment? First, praise my name, then use all sorts of cruel methods to humiliate me?
But... there wasn't a trace of pretense in his voice. It was sincere. Such an unfamiliar feeling; she had never experienced it from her own kind.
Rumble, rumble~ The sound of her stomach spasming from hunger came from Emilia. She hadn't eaten in three days.
It wasn't that she hadn't tried to find food, but food was inherently scarce here, making it impossible for her to fill her stomach.
For the past three days, she had only eaten a little moss, a few mushrooms, and leaves mixed with cold water to fill her belly. But those things provided very little energy.
Hearing her stomach growl, she lowered her head even further in shame.
At this, Elliot turned his head and glared at Kumoko, who had snatched the girl's food.
Kumoko felt wronged too! That apple wasn't even tasty! It was dry and got stuck in her teeth.
Even so, she hadn't thrown it away; she ate all of it! Elliot wasn't praising her for not wasting food; he was actually glaring at her! So mean...
Although Kumoko felt wronged, she still took out some food from her personal storage space.
Ever since she learned how to use Space Magic, she figured out how to store items within a pocket dimension, which she called her "Storage." This was a piece of Elroe Firebreather meat.
Elroe Firebreathers, those catfish monsters from the second layer of the Elroe Labyrinth, tasted sweet even when eaten raw.
This particular piece had even been seasoned with some cooking wine, making its flavor truly unique.
Trading a dry apple for a piece of delicious catfish meat... she was getting ripped off big time! Kumoko made a sad face; she really shouldn't have been so greedy just now.
"Here. I shouldn't have eaten your apple," Kumoko said, placing the meat in front of Emilia.
Smelling the aroma of the meat, Emilia swallowed hard, hunger making her mouth water. But, paradoxically, she became even more terrified.
This was a whole piece of meat, tender and juicy. It undoubtedly tasted amazing. But in elven society, meat, eggs, and dairy were delicacies only pureblood elves and nobles were qualified to enjoy.
Half-elves and other races were supposed to eat grass! There was a saying among the elves: "For every piece of meat a commoner eats, a wisp of smoke will rise from the Forest Nation's woods!"
And this catfish meat... it was seafood! Eating seafood was an even greater crime, utterly unforgivable!
A half-elf like her... how could she be worthy of such high-class cuisine? She was only fit to eat grass!
"I can't eat it! My bloodline is impure! I'm not allowed to eat meat!"
