I Was Reborn, but I Was Told That the Popular Standard Skills Were No Good, so I Chose the Skill of Collecting [Title] - CH 236

“Let’s go.”

“Huh? Where?”

Darki said as soon as the contract was completed. Where will we go now? And now that you mention it, the fox is talking normally.

“Practice using us.”

“No…wait a minute…”

“Hmm? Are you so good that you can use us right now without even practicing? You have a match tomorrow, right?”

“That’s right! That’s why there’s no way we can practice now!”

Glancing at my watch, I see that it is now a little after 2:00 am. The semifinals are today, not tomorrow. There was no way I could practice now. It would be fine if I were still practicing ordinary magic, but if I were to practice with the Demon King or the Beast King, my stamina might not recover by the time of the match.

“Huh…this is why humans are so… You’re part Beast King. So you should at least show us that you can do it.”

“Don’t be unreasonable…..”

I don’t want you to compare me with a Beast King. I still think of myself as a human being. …… I’m human, right?

“Then why don’t you start by using us tomorrow?”

“Well, yeah. By the way, the semifinals, it’s today, not tomorrow.”

I have no intention of using the Devil King or Beast King, which are uncertainties for the semifinals. Of course, if I’m in a situation where I have to use them, it’s different. I don’t think it’s something I can use right away, judging from what I’ve seen of Bequa’s beastification.

“Can you two hide your existence?”

“If you don’t draw your swords, I can.”

“I can do the same thing. If you pull the sword out of its scabbard, I can’t hide it from my sister.”

“Then can you make sure that no one finds out?”

If the two of them are not exposed, Sophie will enter the match without any countermeasures ready. That’s quite helpful for me, as I’m likely to be able to contain the spirits.

“I understand. But are you going to carry around four swords?”

“Yes, but…?”

“Watch a little.”

Then Bros touched Suiyami. When he did so, he went into the sword. Normally I’d wonder where he went, but I can clearly see that he‘s in the sword. Then the sword turned into a ring and fell into the middle finger of my right hand. The ring is a beautiful ring with two gradients connected to it.

“If we go inside like this, we can change our shape freely like this.”

“What? Then can it be transformed from a sword into a shield or something?”

If it can change its shape at will, it can also be used to confuse opponents during battle.

“No, it’s hard. If you ask if it can be done, it can be done. But if it changes its shape, its durability is reduced. It’s not suitable for use in battle. The only practical use for it is to use it as an ornament to disguise its appearance.”

Bros said as he came out after turning Suiyami back into a sword again.

”Then please keep the sword for today’s match.”

“Is that okay with you?”

“Yeah.”

Having four swords is certainly a hassle. But Sophie wouldn’t miss my new ornament. And I’m sure she’s noticed that the swords have been by my side all day. If so, there’s a high possibility that Sophie, who has a great deal of insight, would be able to see that the sword is in a changed state. As much as possible, I want Sophie to think that this sword is just a sword that automatically tracks me.

“Then I guess we’re out of the running for this tournament …….”

Darki said sadly, his tail drooping a little. No… my objective is to strip the heroes of their contract with the beast…. Why does he look so disappointed that he didn’t get a turn?

“No…I can’t say that. Tomorrow I will inevitably need the help of both of you.”

“What a surprise!”

”After today’s match, I’m going to rush out of King’s Landing and practice devil magic, devilization, and beastification.”

It would be foolish to practice today, which is normally considered to be both after the match and the day before the match, but I still had to do it. It was to beat Sophie. A little risk is inevitable.

“No! I won’t allow you to do that!”

“Eh!”

I didn’t expect that from Yug. It seems that Yug is concerned about my health. Unlike those two kings, Yug is very kind….

“You’re not even spiritualized yet, so why do you have to go through devilization and beastification first! That’s an absolute no-no!”

“Eh…”

There you are…. It seems that Yug wasn’t worried about me.

“That’s true. You can’t even spiritualize yourself with Yug who you signed a contract with earlier, so I don’t think you can do it.”

“That’s for sure.”

Bros and Darki agreed with Yug’s opinion. You guys told me to practice first.

“Zero-kun, you must be able to spiritualize yourself by the end of today’s match! Then I’ll allow you to practice afterwards!”

I glanced at Bros and Darki, and they nodded. They said I have to acquire spiritualization while fighting Bequa. By the way, the spiritualization is that which Elira was doing yesterday that turned her entire body to water.

“I’ll try as hard as I can…”

Talking any longer would only make me mentally exhausted. Soon after that, Yug was inside me, and Bros and Darki were inside the swords. For now, I removed the killer titles and set the new ones, then went to sleep. I can’t even be bothered to check the effect of the title anymore. Well, I don’t think it’s a bad effect, so I’ll check the title in the morning anyway.
