Chapter 7 - Three Abnormal Skills

Three Abnormal Skills

[Personal skills, huh?]

Kirihara’s <Golden Dragon Wave/Dragonic Buster>

Mine is <Abnormal State Endowment>

It is undeniable that mine is simpler compared with Kirihara.

[Hmm?]

My skill tree…

By any chance, is it extending upside down?

I tried flicking up.

[Ah…]

It’s stretching down.

The color of the line is lighter than the my classmate’s tree that are extending up.

I had not been able to notice it until now because of its thinness.

But if you look closely, there is a line that goes down thinly.

I follow the line with my eyes.

The line is thin.

However, the display of skill information was clear.

<Paralyze: LV 1>

<Sleep: LV 1>

<Poison: LV 1>

[Are you saying that I can use these three skills of <Abnormal State Endowment>?]

Just like an RPG.

Just like a social game.

I used to play that game too.

So that familiar skills- or rather, magic names.

The question is whether it’s useful or not…

Eh, why not?

It’s E-Rank.

Though?

Isn’t it great to be able to use it at LV 1?

I feel like a robed man was saying that.

Okay.

Should I dare to ask the goddess?

Well,

[Goddess-sama is, uh–]

Oh, there she was.

Behind a thick pillar.

The Q&A corner seems to have ended.

[Hmm?]

She’s talking to someone.

It looks like a different person from the robed men…

I put my back to the other side of the pillar.

Uh… I’ve just hidden myself.

It can’t be helped.

It takes courage to talk to the goddess…

I take a deep breath.

Okay.

Ready, Done.

I make up my mind to get out of the pillar.

But,

I didn’t take the first step.

Curiosity took over me because of what I heard from the goddess.

[It seems that there’s only one of the lowest E-Ranks mixed in.]

It’s about me, isn’t it?

[What do you want to do, Vysis?] (T/N: Did I get the name right?)

Who is that?

She’s calling the goddess-sama’s name without honorifics.

[Don’t worry. Even the lowest rank have its uses.]

˅

I feel like the number of soldier in the room have suddenly increased.

No…

In fact, It’s still increasing.

I think there’s about thirty more people?

The newcomers seemed very tough.

[……………….]

I can somehow understand by the way they act and the atmosphere around us.

They are trying to get us out.

No.

To be exact– Mimori Touka? (T/N: 三森灯河を)

A soldier has been sticking to my left and right.

It’s obvious I’ve been marked.

The soldier on the right opened his mouth.

[The same is true for everyone else, but it’s strange. Even though you’re a hero from a different world, you still have no power to take control this place.]

The soldier advised as he put his hand on the handle of his sword.

You won’t be safe if you acted strangely.

That’s why they’re threatening.

[All the heroes, please move to the next room!]

The goddess gives instructions.

The goddess who leads.

The students who follows.

[E, Everyone… follow the goddess’ instructions…]

Zakurogi’s tone have frankly fallen.

Indeed, half of the class was now blatantly passing through Zakurogi.

Earlier, Zakurogi also took the crystal measurement.

He’s D-Rank.

It seems that adults who exceed the mid-twenties tend to be low ranked.

On the other hand, it’s easy for teens to get a high rank.

Therefore, it is said that there are a lot of young people who are summoned.

The goddess explained so earlier.

Is it because of his D-Rank?

Zakurogi was visibly beginning to be despised by the students.

His daily activities may have influenced it. too.

Or is it simply a change that came because his rank is considered to be lower?

It seems that Zakurogi also felt the change in his treatment.

The shadow of the past can’t be seen in the atmosphere.

It can be said that the “homeroom teacher” of the current 2-C is without a doubt, the goddess.

We followed the goddess and moved to room with a magical pattern on the floor.

[If your name is called, please go to the center of the magic circle there. Ah, after this is done, you will have the time to settle down a little.]

My classmates look happy.

Everything has been too fast since I came here.

I can finally take a breather.

There is a little relief for everyone.

Oyamada raised his hand.

[Say~, what do you do in this room?]

[It’s a ritual.]

The next one who opened his mouth is Kirihara.

[Ritual? Are you going to summon again?]

The goddess lightly clapped her hands.

Pan~ tsu! (T/N: Like I said, not intentional.)

The goddess grinned.

[Anyway, I’ll call you name first, okay? Then– Touka Mimori-kun, please go to the center of the magic circle.]

[Eh?]

Me?
