Chapter 2 Testing the Skills

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

While thinking about the Skills, I set out for

home. There were about 10 people on the carriage

with me. My house is about half a day by carriage

away from the capital where the shrine is , at the outskirts of the Town of Lucas. It is a relatively nearby town from the capital, with a population of about a thousand.

Beginner adventurers pass through here. It is

a lively town. [Well then, let's try using Appraisal.J

While the carriage is shaking, I silently used

Appraisal and faced an adventurer in his primes.

As I did that, information surfaced in my mind.

Name: Keith

Race: Hume

Gender: Male

Age: 48 Years Old

Occupation: Adventurer (Rank C)

[Skill]

One-handed Blade

Cleaning

Hee, so he is Keith-san.

His skills are... [One-handed Bladeland

[Cleaning), huh.....

It's a bad combination, isn't it? Although he has quite the stern face, it's an extreme gap with [Cleaning). While thinking about cleaning, I tried looking at Keith-san and more information surfaced in my mind.

[Cleaning]: Able to properly carry out efficient cleaning, when skill level is increased, able to clean neatly. I see, Appraisal can search for detailed entries on confirmed information. This is quite convenient. I think that it's probably because it's [Appraisal Complete) that it can do this. In the procured information there's a word which arouses my curiosity. It's "Skill level".

I don't see any entries about skill level but the word seems like the more you use the skill, the better the ability. I see. If that is the case, the more I use

Appraisal, the more detailed the information I am able to obtain. If so, I should use Appraisal more.

Anyhow, I can't move from the carriage for half a day. Besides, I can't test out[Cut and Pastelin

places with people. Thinking about such things, I used Appraisal on all the 10 people inside the carriage.

I didn't particularly have any problems until the ninth person. However, the information I obtained from the 10th man contained outrageous information.

Name: Gaskarth

Race: Humen

Gender: Male

Age: 31 Years Old

Occupation: Robber

[Skill)

Sewing

Dagger Extreme

Swift feet (Small)

What, a robber!? Why is he on the carriage!?

Furthermore, he has [Dagger Extreme]

He's a master in itself. Dangerous, this is dangerous. Right now he's sitting quietly and shutting his eyes but I don't know when he'll act

violently. There are some adventurers on board but if he stabbed with surprise attack it won't be long before we die. What's this guy's goal?

This carriage is headed towards the place I live, the Town of Lucas. Since he's acting docile in the carriage, that means he should be aiming for the Town of Lucas. The inspection when entering the town is strict, so robbers cannot enter. No matter how much I think, I can't seem to think of the correct answer. No, I can't think of it.

Right now, I am the only person who knows he is a dangerous person. Even if I tell someone inside this small carriage, he will naturally hear me when I speak. Anyway, isn't there any way? Before he takes out his dagger, before he becomes violent, isn't there any way....

Even if I grow impatient, there isn't anything a youngster like me can do. So I thought. It would be best if that guy doesn't become violent, and without him realizing, immediately return home as soon as we arrive. However, as things are, I'm not sure if this guy will stay docile. Even if we arrive safely, if anything happens inside the town, I will be dragged into it. Above all, there are other young adults like me, and there are even girls.

As expected, if I don't think of a solution, we will surely be in danger. What can I do now? Speaking of what I can do, I only have the Skills I gained today. Appraisal will surely be useful. However, it can't overturn this situation. If so, it seems like I have to use the other Skill [Cut & Pastel, one way or another.

I can't use [Cut]on living things. Assuming I use it, I can't attack my opponent who hasn't even done anything. If I did, the person who'll be arrested isn't

him, but me. Because I can't injure my opponent, I

become powerless.... Ah, I can use [Paste] to stick that guy's shoes on the floor. If I do that, even if he suddenly acts he wouldn't be able to move. Even if he kicks off his shoes, he can't do it

immediately. Next is the dagger on his waist. Let's stick his scabbard and the dagger together.

If I do that, even if he acts, Keith-san and the other adventurers can deal with him. Yosh, since I decided, let's get to it immediately. As I invoked the Skill, the successful invocation response was returned in my mind. It was my first time using it but it seems like I was somehow able to use it.

Phew... with this I am relieved for now. It's just that as it is I won't be able to deal with what happens after we arrive at the town. Even if I stick his shoes, he will be able to move if he takes it off, and if he buys a new dagger it'll end there. I don't know whether his aim is the carriage or inside the Town of Lucas or anything else. I can't come up with a fundamental solution.

Just like that he boldly boarded the carriage. If his aim is the Town of Lucas, he'll manage to enter. If so, there might be harm to the town. Optimistic that the urgent danger is prevented, I was able to cool myself down a little. And, this me who calmed down... was struck by an outrageous idea.

[ Hope you like it give this a review and if you find any grammar mistakes point me out. English is not my Mother tounge so forgive me. But I don't think there will be any mistakes]

    After finishing dealing with the robbers' invasion, I can finally return home. It seems that the robbers caught by the adventurers became crime slaves and were sold off. The money from selling them were divided equally to the passengers and theadventurers involved. Even though I helped, I still do not know whether I should tell anyone else about [Cut & Paste] so I remained silent.[Oh! Welcome back Myne, did you receive your Skills without any problems?

    Since it's not yet noon, should I try huntingfor the orc immediately? No matter what I want to repay him for entrusting me with the Storage Bag ahead of time. Orcs live fairly deep into the forest but there are some which wander around like the one from before. It's good that I can hunt rabbits, sheep, etc. while l'm at it since l have the large Storage Bag. I returned home first, chewed on dried meat left over from yesterday and went towards the forest again. The gatekeeper must have changed shifts in the morning, since it's a different person. Since he's also an acquaintance, he said Take care jwhen showing me out. I washappy for that.Such a small thing became my motivation and brightened my mood as I entered the forest.

    Even though it was a hard fight, it was quite the harvest to be able to defeat three of the orcs which I was aiming for just today. That's because I thought it would take two to three days, fastest. With this, the storage bag is officially mine. In this hunt, the understanding of the storage bag's usefulness has penetrated deep into my bones. I planned to understand it but it has to be tried out before getting the hang of it. Though I had to dismantle, three orcs on top of that, I still have some space. Finishing the job by picking medicinal plants and hunting prey on the way back is something my mental health and financialstability are thankful for. While thinking that, I returned cautiously due to the lesson from the battle with the crawler.I didn't forget to use appraisal and harvest herbs on my way. In the end, I defeated one crawler and two Forest Mutton before exiting the forest. When I was passing through the back gate, the gatekeeper whom I was familiar with saw me who was

According to the plan, when I was able to make the potion with the flow I saw at the alchemist, my impressions were as above. (-: Basically the soliloquy above)I can make approximately 6 L of potion from just the medicinal plants I've collected. As expected, if I sell these, the alchemy shop's sales will be affected And I'll be repaying his kindness in teaching me with evil. I'll just make enough for my own use. [This much will probably last me some time, right? For now, the completed potions were put in a big transparent bottle which I previouslybought from the general store.
