'Re,level 15......?

I look at the status sheet and am stunned.

After leaving the dungeon and returning to the guild town at dawn, Prine and I went back to the inn to take a nap, and around noon, we went back to the guild.

And we got a status sheet. .......

What in the world is this ......'?

I had guessed it from the small amount of magic I had learned, but it was too low.

Even though they were not raid bosses, they had slaughtered the monsters of the Chirisug River, which should have been just as strong. The magic element has been thickened in the 18th and 19th levels, and it is not surprising that they have reached level 20.

Come to think of it, I was 1 short when I was a monk. I wonder if the magic profession is a "job" that is hard to accumulate experience. But it seems that Prine has reached a higher level. .......

Hey, Ra-kun: ....... This is a little strange, isn't it?
'You think so too?'
'Yeah. ....... Oh, by any chance, ......'
'Do you have any idea what that might be?'
'Uh, well, I'm not sure, but maybe ......'.

Maybe? Then I heard a voice.

'You seem to be in trouble, adventurer.

I look up. There, standing majestically, was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty, dressed perfectly in the blue uniform of the dungeon guild.

You are Anna, the guild's famous receptionist, the Songstress!
'We meet all the time, don't we? I mean, didn't I say hello to you earlier when you gave me your status sheet?

She appears so quickly that I can't help but get on her bandwagon. Prine looks so cute.

Anna is smiling happily.

I'm glad I recommended Rana to be a clown. It's funny how both of them react differently to this kind of situation... and how cute Prine is too...''
'Is he toying with you? No, it's more like, Anna, my status ......!
'Yes, yes, I see what you mean. Please come in the back, counselor.
Yes, thank you very much!
'Hehehe, Anna-san, I can count on you!

Nodding her head, Anna leads us to a private room in the back.
Prine and I follow.





Private room in the back of the guild.

Me and Prine sit side by side and wait for Anna's words in front of us.

In a word, it's 'not for you'.
What do you mean?

Rana, you are not suited for the magic profession. No, that's a misnomer. Rana can basically do everything, but he's not good at magic.
'Magic, sure, I'm a little bad at it, but ......'
'Let me explain.

Anna held up two fingers.

The skill that our queen gave me has two effects.


First, talents that have been dormant are clearly understood by adventurers in the form of skills.
Another, the talent blooms with the benefit of skills'.

'Understanding the talents you have and the blossoming of your talents?

Yes. The basic premise is that you do not gain skills in a genre in which you have no talent at all. Skills are the manifestation of the talents that lie dormant within you.

Then -- and prine.

For example, a person who is gifted with a sword will gain skills related to swordsmanship. Does that mean that they can't get magic skills?

Anna nodded her head and said, "That's right.

People don't know what talents lie dormant inside of them. If you don't know, you may get lost, or you may get a "job" that you are not suited for at all.
However, if you receive skills from the queen, you will know what your talents are. Once you know your talents, you can focus all your efforts on developing them.
That's what the "Gift of Heaven Ceremony" was originally meant to be.

I didn't know that.

If talent is only given, it should be called a gift, not a skill. But that is the meaning of the name 'skill'. --So you are telling me to improve your skills, isn't that right?

'The talent that was originally within us ......'
''Oh, so you're not strong just because you gained skills?''

'Yes, that's not all. Skill is something that raises the fighting ability beyond human limitations. There is no doubt about it, but the fact that we adventurers are a little stronger than the normal people is more due to our occupation than our skills.

'If you ask me, ......'

'And since the queen has given you skills, it is also easier for your talents to blossom. A person who had a talent for swordsmanship will grow more by getting a job and diving in the dungeon than by training outside.

Let's get back to the story, Anna.

'People with physical enhancement and all-around skills like Rana can basically do anything ( ). They have all kinds of talents and can do anything better than anyone else.

Prine nodded her head. I knew it! He gives me a look that says, "I'm not a good person.

You always say that. Thank you, Prine. I'll pat you on the head later.

As far as I'm concerned, you're just poor at dexterity.

Rana is one of the most talented of them all. 'God's skill' - was it the devil who said that?

Yes. Messerdevil, whom I fought in the fifth layer, looked at me and said, "He who has the skill of God. I don't know what that means now. .......

But even those who have universal talents are not good at what they do and are not suited for what they do. Rana, you learned swordsmanship before you became an adventurer, didn't you?

Yes. An adventurer who comes to stay at our inn says that swordsmanship seems to be a good fit for you.

'Amazing. You have a good eye for people. I agree. The way Rana's level rose when he was a thief and a warrior was extraordinary, even now.

Thief reached level 20 in one day. The warrior took three days to reach level 27.

'I think I have a talent for clowning. ....... Let's leave it at that for now: ....... No, it's a real shame. ....... I can't believe you turned down the invitation to join God's Eyes. ..................'
''Please leave it.''

Anna started to think seriously about it, and I interrupted her to stop her.

Anna laughs and says, "Oh my God!

I guess that's why I'm so good at swordsmanship and related things, bodybuilding, and of course, dancing. We have similar footwork.

Oh, sure.

' And that the mage level stopped at 15. ....... It's amazing that you can reach such a high level in a day or two, so it's not that I'm not good at it, it's just that I'm not good at it compared to other things.

So, the only way is to kill monsters and accumulate experience, just like before.

When I said this, however, Anna shook her head.

No, Rana. There is a sure-fire way to raise your level even faster than that.
''Is that so?
'Yes. You learned swordsmanship before you became an adventurer. It made it easier for you to become a warrior. That means that ......'
'Let's see, learning magic ......?'
'Hmmm, close! But don't worry. There is someone very close to you who has figured out how to do it himself.

Anna looks next to me.

Prine said, "What? I said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

'Me, is it ......?
''Of course it is...''

Anna smiles happily.

'Prine,' she said to me. 'I want to study magic! It's the second day! I'm so surprised already! How does this girl know the best way to raise her level without anyone teaching her?

Anna tells us excitedly.
Prine's praise makes me very happy. My heart was burning deep in my chest. I leaned forward on the table and nodded.

Isn't that right? Prine is amazing! I always put in the right kind of effort! But it's hard for them to understand!''
'Oh yes! You have the power to think about that, Prine! A power much more important than magical talent!
Yes, yes, yes!


'Oh, yes, that's right!

'Um, well, you know, that ......'.

Prine's face turned red and she became small even though she was the one being praised. Well, it can't be helped.

So the shortest way is to go to the library and read a grimoire. Come to think of it, we talked about that on the ship yesterday.
'--Oh, yes! I did! Ra-kun said he would study at the library with me!''
'Oh! Please teach me how to study again like in the old days, Miss Prine.

When I bowed, Prine waved her hand and panicked.

'Oh no, Ra-kun ......! But I'll do my best. ......!
'I'll do my best too! Oh!''
'Oh,...... oh!

Prine was reserved at first, but in the end they joined together and raised their hands.
Okay, let's go for it!

It's so nice, it makes me smile. Two young people with a bright future, very picturesque. I want to make a show of it.

Anna said this happily, perhaps because of her profession as a diva "songstress".





So, here we are at the Guild Library.
It is my first visit to the library, but it is quiet and smells good of paper.
And, of course, there are a lot of books.

I am overwhelmed by the towering bookshelves.
I come to a bookshelf of books on magic, but even looking at the spines of the books, I can't understand a word of what they say.

I ask a beautiful mage standing next to me. In a whisper. In a whisper.

'Ms. Prine, where should I start?
'Ugh, Ra-kun, teacher is a bit ......'.

It's so creepy.

'Ha-ha-ha, okay. Prine, please tell me.
'Yes, yes. Have you ever read a grimoire, Mr. Ra?
'Not a single book.'
'Okay. Rah-kun can read and write Sukuk Common and Kuul ....... And he understands very quickly ....... I think it's a good place to start.

Prine will help you find a book for you.
Take some books and check them out at the reception. She says that a record of the books will be kept on the status sheet.

After returning to the inn, we immediately start studying. Of course, it is Prine who teaches me.

I got first place overall in the academic examinations in King's Landing,
I was level 19 in 12 days,
He has the gift of reading magic from grimoires as well as mage magic,
Lolita beautiful girl with big tits.

What a luxurious tutor! ...... I don't think the last one has anything to do with it, but that's not true. It motivates me. Not at all. It's true.

I was also shown the grimoire that Prine borrowed. But..,

'Um, ...... I can't read this. ......'
Oh, yeah. It's a runic alphabet.

Ms. Prine says in a nonchalant manner.

What country are you from?
'It's not a foreign language, it's a script used by old magicians.
What about this one?''
It's an ancient Ruthenian language. It's similar to Sukuk, but the letters and pronunciation are completely different.
'What about this one then?'
'Sunsalut spells. It seems to be common with the monks. This one, the pronunciation is lovely! Nyafuteh nyafuteh, nyan-nyan-harami, nyan-nyan-harami '

I have no idea what it means, but Prine is cute.

'But how can she be a mage and not be able to read a grimoire? ......'
'Anna-san said that there are many mages who don't read grimoires, right?'
'I remember the mage I met in the 16th layer was the same way. ....... He was lamenting the lack of growth. ....... Was it the same phenomenon as mine ......'

Maybe it's a rather common barrier.

Well, I'll take this beginner's grimoire for now!
'Yeah! It seems to have been written by a mage who is very good at teaching, and you can easily learn as much information in that one grimoire as in the other five, so I recommend it!
'Wow! Where can I find that kind of thing?''
'What? I've read that one and the other five, all of them. ......'

You've read all six books combined? ....... In this short period of time....... There are as many pages as a thick dictionary. ....... It's a blunt instrument now.......

'Yeah! I was stupid to ask!
'Ra-kun is not an idiot!
'Thanks! Okay, I'll read it anyway! --Oh, I'm sorry, Prine. What does this mean?
'Let's see, this is - ......'
'So that's what you mean! So neat! Fun!


'Hehehe, Ra-kun enjoys everything so he learns fast!
'That's because Prine is so good at teaching!
'That's not true...,ehehe!
'Choo'.
''Chu-chu.''
'Hahehe'.
'Ehehe'.

We smiled at each other and looked down at the grimoire again.

We proceeded with our studies, cackling like this, and after a while...

--TON-TON-TON.

There was a knock at the door.

I stand in front of the door, knowing with my detection skills that there is a visitor.

There is only one footstep. It is the one I always hear from the squire of this inn. No need to be alarmed.

Yes, what is it?

The squire's voice comes from behind the door.

'Excuse me for disturbing you at your rest, Miss Rana. You have a visitor.
Who is it?
He said he was a messenger of the Lady Martina.

Lady Martina.
She's the noble priestess who fought with the boss and the demon in the 5th level. His messenger is here.

What is ......?

I turned around with my head tilted back and saw Prine with a "meow" look of realization on her face. The tail of the cat god's coat flicks up.

Oh, that!
