The Hero Turned Into A Potato And The World Fell To Ruin Chapter 19.1: Who Says Potatoes Can't Eat?

Atop the cliff, Mervant clutched the disc, trying to sense the direction of the link.

Nearby, Osar sneakily approached Yaine and asked, "Yaine, if I start learning incantations now, how long do you think it will take me to learn them?"

"Ah? Why are you thinking of learning incantations now?" Yaine eyed him skeptically. "Plus when you say learn… Just what degree of proficiency do you mean?"
