Fastest Level Up! - Chapter 70

I used [Appraisal] on the slime that appeared in front of us.

________

[Slime]

・Recommended level to subjugate: 1

・A monster with a fluid and transparent body as its characteristics. It has almost no attack power and can be subjugated by destroying the nucleus in the center of its body.

________

“Recommended for level 1, huh. Yup, even Hana should be able to defeat this one.”

After looking at the result of the [Appraisal], I murmured.

Although there were many types of slime, the most basic one was similar to those small fries that appear in the early stages of RPG and could be defeated easily.. But of course, there were some powerful ones among the species of slime.

For example, the Kraken Slime which should be recommended for adventurers with levels over 10,000 to subjugate. Furthermore, there was a rumor about how it has the unique ability that could melt the equipment (clothes) worn only by women which is extremely troublesome–

“Onii-chan? Why were you suddenly looking up at the ceiling?”

“No, nothing. Rather than that, we have to subjugate this slime quickly.”

My consciousness came back to reality when Hana called me and I immediately switched the topic and proceeded to continue our task.

“Can you see the red orb in the center of the slime? That’s its core, and you can defeat the slime by breaking it.”

“O-okay. I will try it!”

Hana grabbed the knife provided by the Adventurer Association and nervously tried to subjugate the slime.

Slime was a monster that could be defeated by even a normal human, but she seems to be quite cautious as this would be her first time subjugating one.

Yep, splendid!

Cautiousness is the most important thing for adventurers after all. I don’t want her to be an idiot who challenges a higher-level opponent in a direct confrontation no matter what!

While shutting one’s eyes to ‘someone’ mistake, I watched Hana’s action.

She stopped her step in front of the slime and slowly brandished her knife. And then–

“Eit!”

The knife that she swung vigorously successfully pierced the slime’s core. And the next moment, the slime exploded. Like that, slime was never popular among adventurers since no material nor magic stone remained after subjugation.

At any rate, the problem starts from here. I could only silently watch whether Hana was able to acquire the status or not.

Immediately after that, Hana opened her eyes as if astonished by whatever she saw.

“Status acquired? And then experience acquired and level-up… Onii-chan, for some reason I could hear a weird voice in my mind!”

Hearing the confused voice of Hana, I muttered ‘Yosh’.

“It seems you successfully acquired the status. Congratulations, Hana.”

“Oh, so, I was able to acquire the status safely… I did it, Onii-chan!”

Hana happily jumps on the spot. Of course still with a knife in her hand…

I felt like err…if someone were to grasp the situation wrongly, I think this scene would be seen as a dangerous scene.

“Now that you’ve just broken through the first barrier, the most important thing about acquiring status actually starts right now. Because your future will be decided depending on what skills you acquire.”

“Oh, right! Ettoo, if I’m not wrong, to see my status screen I need to say…”

“Status opens, right?”

“That’s it! Status Open! Waa, it’s amazing! Something came out in front of my eyes! Look, Onii-chan!”

“Yes, yes, I understand.”

As she told me to, I checked Hana’s status. I wonder what kind of skill she acquired. Will it be [Body Reinforcement], a magic power-type skill, or maybe a buff-type skill?

And the thing that was written on Hana’s status screen in front of me who thought about something like that, was something that even I find hard to believe.

“This is…!”

What’s written on her status screen was like this.

________-

Amane Hana – 18 Years old – Female – Level: 2

SP: 100

Attack power: 3

________-

She has three skills that were already enough for someone to have one which was [Body Reinforcement Lv3], [Magic Power Manipulation Lv3], and [Magic Power Increase Lv5]. Above all, the shocking skill that overshadowed those three skills, [Stock].

It was a skill that I have never heard of before. In other words–

“–It’s a unique skill”

“Fuee?”

Thus, Hana has acquired a unique skill–[Stock].
