I hate being in pain, so I think I'll make a full defense build

Defense Specialization and the Current Status

A chapter about learning skills and future directions.

One day, Izu and Kanade were talking inside of the Guild Home.

“Generally, it seems that we will be relegated to supporting roles for those four.”

Izu as non-combat support.

Kanade would be an important rear guard.

“I tried learning offensive magic as well… But it’s not likely that they will need my help. So I tried switching direction a little.”

Because the four advance guards would end up defeating monsters before Kanade even had a chance to attack, Kanade ultimately did little but use status raising skills or recovery magic on his comrades.

“I’m the only one who uses a staff, and there are skills that I can get that no one else can.”

Kanade was capable of learning a much broader range of magic than Sally.

That was what made Kanade unique within the guild.

“Those four will just deal with everything by themselves once I’ve buffed them up.”

“That’s true. They really count on you… Ahh, also, your equipment is ready now.”

Izu tells him that this was the reason that she had called him today.

Kanade had only bought small additions since his very first set of equipment. His overall appearance had barely changed since the 2nd event.

Izu passed over the equipment that she had made for him.

There was a red hat that was the same color as his hair.

The rest of the equipment came in mainly black and red, though they looked more like normal clothing than equipment.

These also used Maple’s sheep wool as part of its materials.

Every piece of equipment had ‘INT’ and ‘MP’ raising effects, which meant that Kanade would be greatly strengthened just by wearing them.

“Armor doesn’t really suit me after all.”

Kanade put on the equipment he received and left the guild home.

Today, he would go out in order to learn ‘Magical Barrier.’

Currently, Kanade was learning more and more skills faster than anyone else in the guild.

Unless Kanade was defeated, the support and healing would never stop.

However, depending on the situation, you would likely have to defeat Maple in her Archangel form in order to get to Kanade.

And Maple’s ‘VIT’ would be strengthened by Kanade.

Maple’s depleted HP would also recover.

It would not be long before avoiding a battle with Maple and the others became the norm.

No, perhaps it already was the norm.

In a different location. The edge of level two.

Sally was in a certain forest.

“Fu… I haven’t received any damage yet… But I should probably make preparations for when I do.”

Sally had already learned several skills within the past few days.

But even then, she still did not have nearly enough to reach what was her ideal.

“I also need to raise Oboro’s level too.”

Monsters kept appearing one after another as she walked through the forest.

This time Sally put more emphasis on evading. She would hurt the monsters a little and then allow Oboro to do the rest so it could raise its level.

After fighting like this for a while, Oboro’s level increased.

“Fu…I should check it out. Oh?”

Sally checked Oboro’s skill level and then patted it happily.

“Well…I may not need to prepare for receiving any damage after all.”

Saying this, Sally stopped looking at Oboro’s level and returned to the town.

Chrome was in the level two desert.

“This is crazy. I don’t feel like I could die.”

He blocked the monster’s attack with his great shield and slashed at it with his Japanese hatchet.

That alone caused his HP to go way up, but he also had ‘Battle Healing’ which healed him too.

On top of that, he could just use ‘Light of Spirit’ if he started to run out of HP.

Chrome cut down the last of the monsters he was fighting and put his weapons away.
