Another World Mall
Chapter 743 - 743: Secondary Affinity

Christina stood in front of the members of the Libation Fiesta. Because she hailed from the prestigious family, she was probably the only one who knew the 'peak' they were trying to pursue.

"All right. We'll begin the small lecture." Christina paused for a moment because Erwin and Aileen were sitting on top of a thread, training their balance. Kanaria was taking notes while Ragna listened attentively. Jay was standing next to the wall.

Christina raised one finger. "All right. We'll begin from the very beginning regarding the five Evolution Traits.

"By studying multiple unique physiques all around the world, when the awakening liquid came out, humanity divided evolution traits into five. They have used the beasts as the standard as well.

"Then again, we have one person who is used as the standard here." Christina glanced at Ragna.

"Huh?" Ragna pointed at himself while glancing back, wondering if it was someone behind him, but no one was behind him.

"Yes. You, Ragna. Specifically, your physique. They're using it as the standard for Heart affinity.

"The Muscle affinity is the most common because that's what humanity has been striving for this whole time, such as martial artists, boxing, and so on.

"Then, the Brain affinity derives from the sixth sense. While people call it a sixth sense, they just have much more powerful five senses that can cause them to think ahead or do something weird and get labeled as having a sixth sense.

"The Blood affinity originated from the beast itself. They're using the beasts as the standard. The essence, blood, and other things related to blood—it all comes from there.

"Last but not least, the Bones affinity. I don't think I need to tell you anymore since we have fought that guy previously. Strengthening one's body so that it can't be penetrated by anything… Martial artists have been practicing such a technique from the beginning.

"These are the origins of the five affinities. Why would the origin matter? It's to give you a small clue to what you should do and achieve in the future.

"For example, Muscle Affinity. In this place, it will be Jay and Erwin. Lucifania as well, but she's not here.

"For a low-level technique, they will practice it like that of a common martial art. However, the stronger one becomes, the better your senses are, even if you don't have the Brain affinity.

"Clovis might have the Blood affinity, but look at his speed… This is actually the Muscle affinity forte.

"The way you utilize muscle will determine your physical abilities. In other words, if you emphasize speed, your muscle will become a bit more flexible, causing your strength to diminish as well.

"On the other hand, if you strengthen your muscles, the opposite will happen. I have seen someone with the Muscle affinity that can destroy a tall building with a single punch. At the same time, there's another person who can't do such a thing, but he moves so fast that no one can catch him.

"That's why a foundation technique is required to pursue your path.

"Also, affinities are linked with each other. There is a reason for them to create a star diagram whenever they explain five affinities.

"As I mentioned earlier, the Blood affinity can release that kind of speed, and because of the characteristic of this affinity, the brain gets enough blood to handle such a high speed, which is the reason for Clovis to be able to handle that speed while you people who have the Muscle affinity cannot.

"And since we're talking about the star with each tip being the affinity, you will see that there's another line for the Muscle affinity, and this is connected to the Bone affinity. This is the path that the previous Tier 7 guy pursued. He strengthened his muscles to boost his strength as well as his defense.

"On the other hand, the Blood affinity has two lines to Muscle and Heart. I have explained about the Muscle, which is what Clovis is pursuing. And it looks like Aileen is doing the same, right?"

Aileen nodded with a serious expression. "Yes."

"Either way, there is another path that is linked to the heart. By utilizing your blood, you can boost your regeneration. All the affinities have this path, which is called the Secondary Affinity.

"Essentially, your original affinity will be your Primary Affinity, while the path you pursue will become the Secondary Affinity.

"That's why the tiers are classified into three classes. Low Tier or Tier 0 to Tier 3, Mid Tier or Tier 4 to Tier 6, and High Tier, which is Tier 7 to Tier 9.

"When you are at the Low Tier, this is where the growth matters, like a foundation, and finding your own path from weapon to fighting style.

"Once you reach Mid Tier, you are expected to start learning about your respective affinity. In other words, you have to harness at least 80% of the full potential of your affinity.

"Then, the High Tier… At this stage, you are expected to harness 100% of your affinity and even have trained your Secondary Affinity.

"If you notice, the Tier 7 beast we fought back then could ignore my Unique Ability to a certain degree, right? That's because of this Secondary Affinity, though we know it more than beasts being beasts. I'm just speaking in human terms.

"For normal humans, you are supposed to be able to harness 100% of your affinity and 60% of your secondary affinity and 20% of your tertiary affinity.

"In other words, if you have the Muscle affinity, you can only harness 60% of Blood or Bones affinities and utilize 20% of Brain and Heart affinities." Christina completed the diagram.

It wasn't just a star, but there was a circle that connected each tip, which was the reason she called it a diagram instead of just a star. She even added the number to make the explanation earlier.

"Do you have any questions? If not, I'm going to continue with how to harness the secondary affinity." Christina asked.

She waited for a moment. Surprisingly, Kanaria raised her hand. "How about the pseudo unique ability and the unique ability? Are they also linked to this diagram?"
