Chapter 75.2. The First Year at the Academy – Hero's Vessel (2)

Sitting on an overhanging root, I quenched his thirst with a cup of General tea.

Markant was gnawing on a piece of dried meat with his bulging skin sack beside him, unconcerned.

I open my mouth as I watch him.

"How many bornis are we up to now?"

"Eighteen so far, and forty-one earlier. That makes a total of fifty-nine."

Danil responded smoothly.

"That's quite a few. One large copper coin per animal. So that's about six silver coins – or maybe six exactly."

He corrects himself, with Ose throwing a dagger at his side.

Catching the flying head with one hand, Markant tosses it into his leather bag.

"That's more than we had at the boil in the village. It's almost full."

"Even if we are actively killing them, it's not worth it to collect the heads, is it? Should we bring back other monsters or collect them?"

Markant agreed with my suggestion.

But they were good, since the reward for C rank was 20 to 50 gold coins, about 20 times that of F rank. In comparison, there was not much difference, and they didn't care much about the reward amount. Otherwise, they would not have thrown out the materials for the Eras Rhino.

Besides, "Battle Axe of Destruction" tends to like rewarding work and maintaining public order.

That is also why he refused to babysit me two years ago but accepted once I showed him my ability. He also said that he would have accepted the challenge to exterminate Bornis even if I were not there.

I look at the "Battle Axe of Destruction".

Maybe this is a good opportunity. Let's ask their opinion.

When the time was right, I started, "I have something to discuss with you.

"I've been training mainly with  "One-handed Sword", but there's a little problem."

"A problem? Have you hit your head?"

A wall of qualities, Markant seemed to think so.

I wave my hand exaggeratedly.

"Oh, sorry. Not quite. I've reached quite a rank with my "One-handed sword". I don't feel like I'm training anymore with the monsters around here. And then there's the Rhino sword."

He taps his finger through the scabbard.

"This guy's good, but he's too sensitive. I was worried it might break when I went at it with the iron golem. I'm sure it will break in battle in the future. I have a spare sword, but I thought it would be better to use something other than a sword.

"Other than a sword, huh? Why not the Rhino stiletto?"

"That's because it's a one-point breakthrough. It's hard to use it as my main weapon.

Even if it is super powerful, its attack's range is too narrow.

Even the iron golem, which could be helpful, had no place, and I – or Roland – chose the stiletto because I was concerned about my parents' eyes on me.

"Another weapon, huh? Maybe there is one."

Markant must have recalled his blur.

He's implying that Selene was not suited for a competent person.

Everyone seemed to realize that, too, and would silently ponder.

If I were just an adventurer, it would be easy. Just go to another town. But as an academy student, that is not possible.

While waiting for everyone's answer, I was thinking about something else.

I ask myself for a while, and then I make a decision.

I will report it to my father after my graduation.

"I've kept this quiet until now, but I have another odd skill that everyone knows about. It's a growth-enhancing skill."

My father was the only one who knew about "Increased Growth Potential".

I didn't even tell my brother or mother. Roland – I'm sure he'd have a hunch that there's something to it.

Such a confession confused everyone even more.

Valerie asks with a look that doesn't get the point across.

"That skill – that much?"

I guess I didn't explain well enough.

I trace back my memory and add.

"When I was five years old, I started training with a sword, and within a few months, I had mastered the skills of "One-handed Sword" and "Taijutsu". Of course, I had no real combat experience. By the time I met you guys at the age of eight, I had "One-handed Sword 3", "Dagger 4", and "Taijutsu 4″. I thought my magic was 3 to 1, except for Holy and Necromancy."

"That's a hell of a thing. That's why it was so hard for him. Maybe that's why he's so strangely mature?"

"Maybe."

I affirmed, but the reason for that is what's inside. As expected, I can't talk about it.

As far as I have been able to find, I found no traces of other reincarnated or transmigrated people. I'm a little skeptical about Alphas and his "Analysis", but even if he has powerful skills, he doesn't smell like a previous life or a different culture.

And if he's simply strong, there are also monsters such as Sleias, the god of war, and an SS-ranked adventurer. Zebel, the beast god, fought the evil god Adudo. And Milad, the god of agriculture, who's deeply believed in even in Selene. Being a reincarnated person did not necessarily mean one was superior.

In addition, the word "reincarnated" and the concept of "reincarnation" do not exist in this world.

Therefore, it is different from explaining "High-speed Movement" or "Increased Growth Potential". It would be unintelligible. And even if they understood, the situation did not progress in any way.

"What about that wall of skills and qualities?"

Danil asked as I was sidetracked.

"Probably not break through. Even the "Appraisal" didn't mention the qualities."

Danil nodded and began thinking again.

The others remained silent. Did the additional information make the decision even more difficult?

I decided to ask them because I couldn't conclude myself.

With the "Increased Growth Potential", it would not be a bad idea to focus on the "One-handed Sword".

Even weak monsters can grow more than others, I had a few run-ins with strong opponents, and my rank had leveled up since I came to Selene.

And if I choose another combat technique skill, I could increase my ranks even faster. Unlike in Reedwald, I could dive into the forest whenever I wanted without anyone's interference. Even if it is not enough for "One-Handed Sword 7," if I haven't learned it yet, the effect of real combat should be great.
