Yes, at the moment of his transmigration, Ide also awakened the "Hard Work Begets Strength System," a product of his Chunibyo phase fantasies stitched together from various anime. This was the fundamental reason he was able to roam freely across the Pirate World.

"Haven't awakened magic yet?"
Ide looked at the string of question marks written on the magic line of the system panel. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Ur and asked, "Ur, can you show me the magic circle you used earlier one more time?"
"You mean Ice-Make Magic?"
Ur raised her eyebrows at Ide. Although she didn't know what exactly Ide was up to, being kind-hearted, she agreed, "Of course, no problem."
Buzz!
As Ur spoke, she immediately assumed the stance for Ice-Make Magic. Mobilizing her magic power, an ice-blue magic circle, crystal clear and resembling a work of art, bloomed before her.
"Yes, that's the one."
Ide took the opportunity to scrutinize the magic circle before him. His brain went into overdrive at that moment, constantly using his spiritual power to outline and trace the magic circle in front of him.
"Molding Magic is a magic of freedom and will!"
"Ide, enjoy this magic properly and shape the form within your imagination!"
While demonstrating the magic circle to Ide, Ur explained the principles and techniques of Molding Magic, attempting to help Ide learn it better and faster.
Buzz!
Fortunately, the magic circle for Ice-Make Magic was not complex.
Ide quickly memorized the form of the magic circle.
Next was the final step: using his spiritual power to draw the memorized Ice-Make magic circle onto the magic line of the system panel.
Of course, this did not stump Ide. After about five minutes, he finally perfectly replicated Ur's magic circle, stroke by stroke, in the panel column.
At the same time, Ide's system panel changed.
Magic:
Ice-Make Magic: LV0 (+)
"Heh."
"Done."
The corners of Ide's mouth curled up slightly. Indeed, as long as he worked hard enough, there was nothing he couldn't do.
"System, add points for me."
Ide used his mind to form a cursor and clicked on the plus sign behind the brackets of Ice-Make Magic: LV0.
[Add points failed.]
[Current Mana is insufficient.]
Unfortunately, Ide's first attempt to add points failed, and he received feedback from the system.
"Not enough Mana?"
Ide's gaze flashed to his Mana column, then looked at the description behind the First Magic Source stating that he gained one point of Mana per hour under deep meditation. He frowned, immediately entered a state of monk-like trance, and began to cultivate diligently.
"Ide?"
"Ide!"
After calling Ide's name a few times, Ur realized that Ide was ignoring her and was instead in a state of "meditation." She revealed a look of surprise and laughed, "This guy, Ide, gets on the right track pretty quickly."
"Ur, I'm going back first."
"You wanted to buy fruit; I'll bring it to you later."
Susan needed to return to town at this time; after all, she still had business to attend to.
"Alright."
"I still have to watch over Ide here, just in case he suffers a backlash during his cultivation."
Ur smiled slightly at Susan, indicating she wouldn't accompany her back to town.
"I know, I know."
"It's rare for you to meet a man who is taller, stronger, and most importantly, more handsome than you."
Susan indicated she understood everything and wouldn't stay long to disturb Ur's good thing.
"Susan, no one will take you for a mute if you don't speak!"
Ur watched Susan's retreating figure, feeling a bit annoyed inside.
"In that case, I'll start today's training too."
Ur took a deep look at Ide, who was in a trance, then sat down cross-legged and began her cultivation for the day.
Time flew by.
Nine hours passed in the blink of an eye.
The sky quickly darkened.
"Time to prepare dinner."
Ur finished her meditation. She shook the snow off her body and glanced at Ide, who was still in a trance, frowning slightly. "Should I wake him up or not?"
Buzz!
Just as Ur's voice fell, Ide suddenly opened his eyes. He assumed the Ice-Make Magic stance Ur had taught him earlier and said softly, "Ice-Make..."
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"No way?!"
Ur naturally noticed the fact that Ide had woken up. Seeing the signature pose Ide had assumed, which looked incredibly familiar to her, cold sweat immediately broke out on her forehead. She said with a face full of disbelief, "How much time has actually passed?"
"...Lance!"
As Ide's voice fell, a long spear was immediately released from his hand, piercing through the trunk of a large tree ten meters away with stability, accuracy, and ruthlessness.
"It worked!"
Seeing this, Ide revealed a faint smile. He looked at the dumbfounded Ur beside him and laughed, "Starting today, I am a Mage. Am I right? Dear Teacher Ur."
"I am not your teacher."
"I haven't taught you anything yet."
Ur was numb. She really didn't understand why Ide had begged her to teach him magic before.
Ur thought: Could this guy, Ide, be the legendary magic genius?
Meanwhile, Ide's character panel changed again.
Magic Source:
First Magic Source:
In deep meditation state, gain 1 point of Mana every half hour.
In dormant state, gain 1 point of Mana per hour.
Current Total Mana: 0
Magic:
Ice-Make Magic: LV1 (+)
"Oh."
Ide looked at his altered panel and smiled, "So that's how it is. Along with the improvement of my Ice-Make Magic level, the First Magic Source in my body also continues to strengthen. In this case, even if I switch to cultivating other magic in the future, it will become easier and easier! Sure enough, all magic leads to the same destination."
"But speaking of which, since there is a First Magic Source, does that mean there is also a Second Magic Source? Or something like a Third Magic Source?!"
Ide rubbed his chin, revealing a thoughtful expression.
"Teacher Ur, what's wrong?"
At this moment, Ide finally noticed Ur beside him, who was standing in a stunned posture, and asked.
"Don't call me teacher."
"I am not your teacher."
"I'm going to prepare dinner."
Ur shook her head and walked into the wooden house like a walking corpse to begin preparing dinner for the two of them.
"Oh."
Ide was a bit confused by this, but he didn't delve into it. He continued to close his eyes and began deep meditation, extracting magic particles from the atmosphere.
