Chapter 9 - 9: The Talent Of A Healer

"O-one blow?"

Yui looked surprised to see me defeating the harpy that was flying in the sky in a single blow.

『Dungeon Capture Reward – Level increased by 7』

The sound of the system reverberated in my mind when I landed after jumping to kill the harpy. The same thing should also be happening to Yui.

However, she seemed more interested in the way I defeated the harpy than leveling up.

"Anoo, Rin-san, this dungeon is recommended for level 50 or higher right? How high does one's level need to be to make it possible to defeat the dungeon boss in one blow?"

I checked my status after she said that, and 298 was written in the level column. When I think about it, I have come this far, huh.

However, I can't tell her just like that. Because it'll be troublesome if she asked for the reason why I was in a dungeon that wasn't suitable for my level..

"More importantly, how about you check your status? Your level also increased, right?"

"That's true…Yay, with this I exceeded level 50!"

Yui hopped happily when she saw her status. And next to her, I was surprised.

"If you just exceeded level 50, does that mean you challenged this dungeon at level 40? That's quite reckless."

"It's because I am a healer, so…I thought it wouldn't be dangerous if I just use healing magic at the rear."

"Healer? Wait a minute. You can use healing magic even if you haven't reached level 50?"

"Yes, the one I can use is like this."

After shouting 'Status Open', Yui showed me her status screen. Even though I shouldn't look at other people's status, in the end, my curiosity won.

"This is…"

Something astonishing written on Yui's status screen.

"…This is surprising. Did you have these 3 skills from the beginning without using your SP?"

"Yes, that's right!"

"….Unbelievable"

It was an unthinkable amount of skills acquired for a level 51. This alone shows Yui's out of the norm talent as a healer.

Why do I know that? To explain it, there is a need to know the mechanism of the skill.

To acquire a skill, one needs to select a skill that they like and obtain it using the SP they got when level up. This way, we can acquire a skill that suits our fighting style.

However, there are several ways to acquire skills other than that. And out of all of them, the skill that was given when we first acquired status is the most important.

The skill that is given at that time vastly differs depending on the person. If there are some people that are given 10 types of skills, there are also people who didn't get any type of skill.

And the skill that is given at this time will greatly influence our life as an adventurer. It is said the skill that was given when we acquired the status was greatly related to the potential of a person.

For example, it is said that the fastest way to be a successful adventurer is to select the path of a swordsman if one is given a swordsmanship skill or select the path of a magician if one was given a magic skill when acquired the status.

Above all of them, [Healing Magic] is a rare skill and if one acquires even Lv1 [Healing Magic], they can be said to have enough talent as a healer.

Thus, it can be seen how out of norm Yui's talent as a healer is, after knowing the relation between skill and one's potential.

Having [Healing Magic Lv5], and furthermore, possessing [Magic Recovery]and [Magic Power Increase Lv3] which are as rare as [Healing Magic].

If the skills grow steadily, I am sure she will be a top-class healer.

Inadvertently, I almost felt sad remembering the time when I became an adventurer after knowing how talented Yui is.

A year ago, the skills that were given to me when I acquired my status were [Transfer Within Dungeon Lv1] and [Body Reinforcement Lv1].

Unique skills were rarer than [Healing Magic] and at first, the people surrounding me looked at me with envious gazes. However, when they knew how useless this skill in actual battle, they began to look down on the skill by calling it an incompetent skill.

All that remained were only the useless skill [Transfer Within Dungeon] and the lowest-ranked skill [Body Reinforcement].

They said my chances to succeed as an adventurer were equal to zero and I was repeatedly told that I should give up. Even so, I couldn't give up and came here even if I needed to crawl on the ground.

I spontaneously remembered such a past after knowing how talented Yui is.
