I Was Reborn, but I Was Told That the Popular Standard Skills Were No Good, so I Chose the Skill of Collecting [Title] - CH 64

“Hm, what about you?”

“I have something to do, so don’t worry about me.”

“Okay”

It seemed Sophie had something to do so we split up. And now I’m in the garden in the middle of the night. Since I came to the capital, I’ve stopped doing special training at midnight, but Sophie suggested I start again so why not?

“Come at me seriously” (Ziel)

“Yes…”

“Do your best!”

And I start a mock battle with Ziel who I just summoned. The current Ziel and Ygg can’t be seen by anyone but me. I thought they didn’t need to be inside me if they could do that, but It seems to take a lot of MP. By the way, even if they come out, only I can touch them. So even if I wanted to summon Ziel and make him a monster shield, I can’t.

“Thunder Enchantment!”

And now it seems to be a test to measure how good I am. It will affect how he teaches me so I went for it seriously.

“Too slow”

“What…?”

I slashed at Zeal with two swords, but both were grabbed by Zeal’s thumb and index finger. I was suprised he could actually touch my sword.

“And your judgment is slow”

“Kaha …”

When I stopped thinking for a moment because he grabbed my swords, I was kicked. And when I let go of the swords, they slipped through Ziel’s hands. Apparently, if I hold it, he can touch it.

“I’m glad I was the opponent. If it was Ygg, you would have lost 5 or 6 arms already.”

“Hey! I’m not that bad!”(Ygg)

Nobody says anything about me not having so many arms … Will I lose an arm, regrow it, and lose it again?

“Your reaction is quick though.”

“React…?”

Isn’t it like my reaction is the only thing these guys can count on?

“Don’t stop, come on!”

“Roar! Thunder Burst!”

Does it make sense to use thunder magic against Ziel, the highest spirit of thunder? That being said, for the time being, I cast the most powerful magic I have.

“Yeah. Not bad.”

When the thunder disappeared, naturally an intact Ziel appeared. I didn’t think about the impact on the surroundings at all … Is it alright?

“But not good enough”

That said, Zeal moved to my front. He was too fast, I didn’t see him until he was right in front of me.

“I’ll return it because it’s left over.”

“Yaba” {TN: “Dangerous”}

“Thunder”

“Guh …”

My crisis sense reacted and I tried to avoid it in a hurry, but I couldn’t make it in time. He put his hand on my stomach and I was struck by lightning. He seems to have absorbed my thunder magic. After all, using thunder magic was bad.

“Lightning’s not the only way to attack.”

“Abababa …”

“Do you have lightning resistance?”

My body is numb and I can’t move. I got stuck in the position where I was struck by lightning. If it weren’t for lightning resistance, I would have fainted by now.

“You can use lightning as you like, since I’ve completely hidden us from our surroundings.”

“Thank you…!”

I whipped my body into shape and swung out my fist, hoping to get at least one hit.

“That’s right. That’s fine.”

“Ahaha … I give …”

But it was stopped by a hand as a matter of course. It was really my last attempt, so I just fell down.

“This is the end for today. I’ll train you hard from tomorrow!”

“Please be gentle …”

“That’s impossible!”

“Hahahaha …”

“Ygg will help too!”(Ygg)

“Thank you…”

It’s going to be a hellish training from tomorrow, but I’m looking forward to it. By the way, I’m not a masochist, alright? It’s just that, in my previous life, there was no one who expected much of me, so I’m just happy they hold such expectations.

“Sophie. Sorry! I’m counting on you …”

“Huh … eh? Onii-chan !? Why are you so tattered !? Are you okay !? Stay with me!”

As I listened to Sophie’s extremely panicked voice, I was losing consciousness. By the way, Ziel and Ygg seem to automatically return to me when I lose consciousness. So I asked Sophie to take me back to my room. I’ve never seen Sophie so focused that she isn’t aware of me. And I’m sure we’ve been so violent that it’s impossible for her not to worry. I wonder if something happened. Maybe she’s finally leaving her brother? That’s a little sad…

“Picon! 』

“You obtained the title Siscon”

Before I heard the final announcement, my consciousness was already gone.
