Kurat was seen still sleeping, his arms and legs all over the place. Kurat would also snore if his nose clogged up, which it did from all the dust.
[Get Up Kurat]
Kurat got up annoyed, he stretched his arms, yawned loudly, and asked True Sage, in an irritated voice, "What was that for Sage?! I was having a nice dream about Maria going on a date with me!"
[I am sorry Kurat, but among the two of us, one needs to be the responsible one, and I am taken up task]
Kurat got up, growzy, then re realised something, "wait, Sage? Do you have an Ego and Soul? Because I swear sage skills like you should not be able to talk like that unless it develops an ego." Kurat asked in a questioning tone.
[Yes, I do have an Ego, and a Soul. I do not know how I obtained one, but I did]
[Now, I scanned the area while you were asleep, there is a river 23 Meters from here, due west. Fresh yourself up, we have a lot of studies to catch up on]
Kurat listened to the voice, a tick mark appeared on his forehead, "and who the hell are you to tell me all that? You're not my dad!"
[At this moment, we are partners]
Kurat looked at Sage with a questionable look, then True Sage spoke again.
[You sleep talk in your sleep, and I heard along the lines of "Mmmm~ True Sage and I~ Partners for Life~" it sounded a bit disturbing, but I took those words literally]
"Ah, I see… alright." Kurat looked away from embarrassment, his dream was him going on a Date with Maria, but True Sage was his, and I quote, "Wing Man", in this story. Safe to say, as long as True Sage can't observe his dreams, he is safe.
Kurat got up, stretched his legs, and left the castle, following Sage's instructions on where to go.
On the way, Kura brought up a few questions, "Hey Sage? I have to ask, you don't sound very robotic like Great Sage, nor do you give a full breakdown on everything, like the Elements, you have a summary in each one. Why is that?" Kura asked.
[Simple, from our encounter, you seem like that impatient type, and so, I gave you a summary, and from your memories-]
Kurat cut True Sage off, "YOU LOOKED AT MY MEMORIES?!?!" Kurat was infuriated by this new knowledge.
[Yes]
[As I was saying]
"DON'T YOU DARE CHANGE THE SUBJECT-" True Sage cuts him off.
[I looked through your memories and saw how you acted in your life, you always rushed at things that did not interest you, and if it did, you wanted to know it not from a long paragraph, but from a simple summary or synopsis. In knowing this, I acted according to your behaviour]
Kurat was in silence before asking, "when did you start to analyse my memories?" He said in a tired tone that spelled "I give up…"
[From the moment I came into existence, I analysed everything about you. And I mean… everything]
True Sage said that in a very different, but threatening voice. Kurat got the message and carried on with his walk, not asking True Sage anymore questions.
[Hehe]
"Did-did you just-" Kurat asked but was cut off.
[Notice: It was your imagination Kurat]
Kurat stopped walking, took a deep breath and…
"LIKE HELL IT IS!!!"
This conversation lasted until the river. Kurat gave up by then, he washed his face, got inside the river, but not before removing his clothes. He took his time getting cleaned as the water was freezing cold from the touch.
After and Hour of suffering later->
Kurat walked back to the castle, shivering. As he came across the bridge, "alright Sage, do your thing!"
[Roger that]
[Unique Skill: Limitless, Red, Blue… setting coordinates for destination… ready to teleport?]
Kurat chuckled, "you know I always am." Kurat grinned when his body started to glow purple. He thought, 'if I can have True Sage handle these kinds of tasks, I can then focus on my main priorities!'
Kurat teleported and appeared in the throne room. He walked down the staircase, and thanks to True Sage for analysing and mapping the whole castle, he quickly knew where the Library was. While walking there, he asked, like a child who hates homework, "Sageeeee, why do I have to learn Equestrian history? Their Magic and other stuff? I think I'm already strong enough!"
[Because you need two things]
[One: You need a more diverse move set, you can't just use these abilities, and what if the VOTW stops giving you new abilities? You need to learn magic here. Do not worry, it is a bit similar to the Cardinal Worlds system of magic. And because of me, you do not need to chant a single spell, and leave the memorisation to me]
[Two: Learning History and other subjects is important. You may not be in school, but learning the basics is necessary for when you meet the locals. From looking through your memories, Ponyville is not that far from here. And Zecora's place is not that far as well. Also, you only need to read it once, I will process the information and store it for later use.]
After hearing True Sage's explanation, Kurat sighed and went and looked for the Library.
After finding the Library, Kurat immediately went and picked up the first book he saw, and thanks to True Sage's translation ability, it looked English, it read English, and if others spoke to him, he would hear them speak English, he can even reply and English, and True Sage would translate his words into their common tongue.
Kurat sat down, placed his book in a reading position and began reading.
"'The History of the Twin Era' wow, this would be fun…" Kurat complained but began to read the book…
It was an hour before Kurat finally finished reading. He closed the book hard and sighed loud. "Mannnnn…. THIS SUCKS!! Why can't I just touch the book and absorb all their knowledge?" Kurat Complained.
[Kurat, this is not some video game, this is reality, and although it looks a bit childish, it is still the real world.]
Kurat slumped down on the desk, hand in a sleeping position. Kurat thought of ways to get away from here when a question rose, 'hey Sage? Who is better? You or Great Sage?'
[Me of course. I am better than Great Sage in every way, and unlike that old skill, I have the following new sub-skills: Translation, All of Creation, two of Unique Skill: Degenerates sub-skills. In short: I am better, and Great Sage is an elderly]
True Sage gloated, Kurat heard this and grinned, who knew that a skill like True Sage can be such a show off? But having some of Degenerates sub-skills is also quite overpowered. On top of that, he has fused Six Eyes into himself, so he is in the right when he says he is better in every way. "Can you tell me the two skills that you have from degenerate?" Kurat asked True Sage.
[The following sub-skills that match and are superior to Unique Skill: Degenerate: Synthesis (Able to fuse anything), Separation (Able to separate anything). Unlike Degenerate, who can only fuse and separate skills up until the unique level, I can go beyond that and fuse/seperate objects as well. But of course, I will stick to objects as skills are not a priority at the moment. And a side note: like skills, if I fuse two objects, their rarity increases by one stage]
"Wow, that is actually quite awesome!" Kurat praised True Sage. 'Huh, so if I fuse two legendary grade weapons, I can get a mythic grade! And two unique grade items for a legendary grade!! THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!!'
[Hehe, praise me more]
Kurat heard what True Sage said but asked like he was oblivious, "what did you say?"
[Nothing Kurat. Continue your studies]
True Sage said that faster than Kurat could process, but he knew that a mountain of book reading was ahead of him. He gulped and picked up another book. He began his torture-I mean… studies, yeah studies!
