After all, doing something with [cut and paste] seems to be pretty tough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess I'm a demolitionist. ......,No, wait? Now that I have more skills, should I act properly as a hunter?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you make full use of [dagger, extreme], [agility (small)], [vision enhancement, medium], [leg strength enhancement, small], you may be able to aim at big game instead of small animals like rabbits.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......Yeah, I'll try in that direction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This way, even if I gain new skills, I'm the only one around, so they won't know. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll go hunting tomorrow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Now that I have a general direction, I'll try to get some rest after dinner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With this in mind, I make a simple dinner as usual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I didn't have time to go shopping today, so all I had was dried meat and dark bread.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It wasn't a big amount, so I finished it easily, but I think it tasted better than usual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Maybe [cooking] worked?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'd like to repeat cooking and somehow increase my proficiency.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In the morning, I woke up when it was still dimly lit and immediately started preparing for the hunt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Equipped with a leather breastplate, a leather basket, and leather shin guards, I put on a demolition dagger at my waist.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Usually, we set traps to capture small animals like rabbits, but today's target is forest mutton, so called sheep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They are not so fast, but their sharp horns and sleep attacks are very troublesome, so I have been running away from them even if I find them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

However, they can be sold for a good price because of their troublesome nature.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Their meat is peculiar but tasty, and their horns and hooves can be bought at a high price as materials.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If we could hunt them consistently, our lives would be much easier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With preparations completed, I head out the back gate of the town to the nearby forest, nervous about my first real hunt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The gatekeeper worried me, saying, "You're up early today, be careful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

On the way to the forest, I could feel the effect of my newly acquired skills.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, it is [Shunsoku (small)].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Just by running lightly, I can reach a speed that I could not reach without running as fast as I can. Moreover, I do not feel short of breath at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I realized once again the usefulness and effectiveness of skills.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And so, in no time at all, I was able to arrive at my destination.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, here comes the real work. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nervous, I couldn't help but talk to myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I cautiously made my way through the forest, there he was.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Name: Forest Rabbit

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Race: Rabbit

Gender：♀♀

Abilities

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

None.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It wasn't the sheep I was looking for, but I found a rabbit that has been a great help to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... What is it? There's a word in the appraisal that I'm not familiar with.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Abilities? What's that?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll leave it to the experts to tell me what I don't know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Abilities: Special skills that depend on a monster's physique or body structure, generally considered to be the same as skills.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... you mean the monster's version of a skill? From the description, you mean that it is a monster-specific skill.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you are talking about physique or structure, it may not be usable in hume even if it is cut.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Anyway, I'm usually the one who sets traps for them, but I'm going to fight them head-on and see what I can do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I pick up my dagger and stand in front of Forest Rabbit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Forest Rabbit notices me and leaps at me in anger!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I dodge, activating [Leg Strength Enhancement Minor], and at the moment of dodging, I thrust out my dagger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

PIGGYOUGH!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You feel the flesh tear and hear Forest Rabbit scream, and see Forest Rabbit fall to the ground, covered in blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He seems to still be breathing, but he is twitching and twitching as if he has been hit very deeply.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I raise my dagger and thrust it straight into his heart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay, I got him!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Surprised at how easily I was able to defeat it, I dismantle the defeated rabbit with [Cut].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He then throws it into the storage bag he brought with him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is another tool my father left me that can hold up to 50 kilograms.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is a very useful tool, though it can't hold living things, and if you forget to put your catch in it, it will rot inside and you will be in trouble.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Now, let's look for the Forest Mutton, the real prize.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wandered around in the forest for about 20 minutes and killed two more rabbits, but I couldn't find any sheep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

While I was pondering what to do, I saw a large black shadow slithering in the distance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I used [Sight Enhancement - Medium] and looked at the black shadow, and ...... found that it was an orc.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Orcs are humanoid monsters, especially those called "demons".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They are quite a menace, with viciously strong arms and tough skin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They are also famous for kidnapping women of other races different from their own and raping them to breed with them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's why they are very hated by the townspeople.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

To be honest, I don't think I stand a chance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't think I'll be able to get a dagger through its tough skin with my strength.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's see what I can do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Name: Orc

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Race: Demon

Gender：♂♂

Skills

strong arm

Abilities

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Roar

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, he has both skills and abilities.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So, he's not a rabbit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's just take its skills for now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's take the abilities and stick them on a tree somewhere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess we can't use them against Hume.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Strong Arm]: A skill that can be activated at will, at any time you want. When you use it, your arm strength is doubled. Once you use it, you have to wait 30 minutes for the next use.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......Wouldn't this be enough to beat him?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

His skills and abilities are weakened since I took them away from him, and I think I can handle his tough skin, which was my concern, with my strong arm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But it's not a good idea to go head to head with him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, yes! You had magic! I've never used it before, so I'd forgotten all about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's use magic to hit them in the back and then fight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If we decide to do that, let's get behind him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I shout in my heart and invoke [magic wind].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The wind magic flies toward him, cutting through the branches that are blocking the way to the oak.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Gah!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The sound of the tree branches tearing through the air made the orc notice and turn around to look at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

However, he must have been unable to react to the suddenness of the situation, and the wind magic landed on him beautifully.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Now!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He makes use of his legs and legs strengthening and agility to jump into the orc's bosom at once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then, I activate the [Strong Arm] I took from him, and slice open its huge belly in one fell swoop!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The orc is flailing around in pain, flailing his arms wildly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He steps back and again activates his [Magic Wind].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

At close range, the wind magic strikes the sliced belly, and the orc's movements are visibly slowed down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I move in behind it and thrust my dagger as hard as I can toward its neck.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This seemed to stop him, and after letting out a loud cry, he collapsed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Did I beat him?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wait for a while to see if it moves, but it doesn't move at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I should try to dismantle it with [Cut]. It can't be used on living things, so I can determine if it's alive or dead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... If we can dismantle it, that means we've beaten it. I'm so excited.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But we killed the orc! Even I could defeat an orc!
