78...An impressive skill.

My anticipation for concentration reached its cap.

Let me reassess the newly acquired derivative skill: Thought Acceleration.

『Thought Acceleration: Speeds thought processes, extending the duration of perceivable time』

...An impressive skill.

No, seriously—this isn't just impressive?

This is essentially the same as—

Slowing down the perception of time, right?

Like the phenomenon elite athletes occasionally experience, where the ball appears to move in slow motion?

Being able to activate that at will?

That’s insane.

Activate it immediately.

Hmm.

Activation proceeded without issue.

So, how does it feel?

Hmm?

The movement of magma appears slightly slower?

Also, a strange sensation.

Various bodily sensations—some feel faster, some slower—difficult to describe, an odd, indistinct feeling.

Try moving the body.

There's a peculiar weight, like being submerged in water.

A frustration like this—unable to move as intended.

Is this the default state when thought acceleration is active?

Given how often my own speed has overwhelmed me lately, perhaps I should activate it when reaching top speed.

Wait.

But nothing is being consumed here?

MP and SP have not decreased since just now.

So this is a passive skill that activates constantly?

It seems possible to toggle on and off, but is there no downside to keeping it on?

Huh. Isn't that incredible?

I assumed it would require MP or SP consumption.

Something like MP drain for a few seconds of activation.

Always available, no cost?

Is this not an absurdly powerful skill?

No apparent drawbacks.

If forced to point one out, the slight disorientation during initial adjustment.

I may have just acquired a game-breaking ability.

[Skill level has reached threshold. Skill 'Prediction LV9' has evolved into 'Prediction LV10'.]

[Condition met. Skill 'Prediction LV10' has evolved into 'Precognition LV1'.]

Ah, Prediction-san, you're here.

Come to think of it, this was just one step short of maximum capacity.

Well, it was barely usable before. But now it's evolved—maybe it's actually useful?

[Precognition: Prediction effect enhanced. Slight visibility of future possibilities granted.]

Hmm?

Future possibilities?

Wait—what does that mean?

Initiate.

Yes.

No issues with activation.

But… nothing seems different?

Ah—no.

The magma movement appears slightly distorted.

Flickering in patches?

No—these are overlapping images.

Are these overlapping images the so-called 'future possibilities'?

So it's essentially… foresight?

Well, it's just possibility—can't take it at face value—but this skill might prove quite useful if trained further.

Currently, there are few overlapping magma flows, and it doesn't seem particularly helpful.

Wait.

Hold on.

It's not consuming anything at all?

Wait—this is also a passive skill?

...An exceptional skill.

Never thought something so overlooked would yield such a hidden gem.

Sorry, Prediction.

Even a supposedly useless one can become something worthwhile with effort.

[Proficiency has reached threshold. Skill 'Inspection LV8' upgraded to 'Inspection LV9']

Top of the list of useless ones!

Inspection-sama!

How shall we proceed with this level-up?

Allow me to examine it immediately!

O-oh!

The titles have increased!

That’s been quietly bothering me, actually.

Also, could the number visible next to this red gauge possibly be the stock amount for Gluttony?

Stocked up this much?

No wonder it never depletes, no matter how much time passes.

Now then, let us examine the titles promptly.
