I Was Reborn, but I Was Told That the Popular Standard Skills Were No Good, so I Chose the Skill of Collecting [Title] - CH 69

TN: Special thanks to Krazey K, Andrew A, and Teresa M. for the amazing coffee, I really appreciate your support. Also, thanks to all those who bother to leave a comment in the comment section, it’s really encouraging.

“Hey Sophie …”

“What is it?”

“I can take a break from school if I’m in the finals of the school tournament, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Huuh …”

It’s nice that I could take a break from school if I was selected as a finalist for the park battle, but I was deceived by Sophie well. It’s an individual’s freedom to or not to see the finals. Therefore, there are no classes during the final round. But almost all students will come see the finals.

“How are the finalists specifically decided?”

“The best four are confirmed, and six more are decided at the teachers’ meeting.”

“By the way, how does the inter-school competition work?

“First of all, it’s a four-school simultaneous survival match with all 10 members then a round-robin tournament with five representatives. The detailed rules are different every year, but this format does not change.”

“is that so~”

“Shall we research a little?”

“Okay”

“Would you like to see the match-up list?”

“Yeah”

The finals start tomorrow. That’s why the match-up list will be posted in front of the school from this morning. The games will be held at the arena in the royal capital on the four days of wind, earth, light, and dark. The first match will be held on the wind day, the second match on the earth day, the third match on the light day, and the third place and final on the dark day. The wind and earth days are weekdays, so there won’t be many visitors, but the light and dark days are weekends, so many people will come. And on the dark day, when the third place and finals are held, it will be especially exciting.

“Oh! Here they come!”

“Everybody out of the way!”

There were a lot of people in front of the match table, but as soon as we finalists appeared, they made some space. There’s a school newspaper, so it seems that the contestants can be known. I immediately checked the match table with Sophie.

“I’ll be facing Sophie in the finals right.”

“That’s right”

“No. The finalist is me”

“Oh! Shana!”

I was surprised to see Shana suddenly appearing from behind. And looking at the match up list, if they win, Sophie and Shana will face each other on earth day. By the way, Judson isn’t participating. He didn’t participate, saying that he’s better suited to studying than fighting. And Claudia isn’t participating either. When I asked her why, she was dumbfounded.”

“I will fight Zero ni-sama”

“No. me”

It’s the day after tomorrow that they’ll be fighting, but I had to calm down the two people who were scattering sparks already. Today, the finalists may take a break from school. It’s only one day, but for today I’m on my own because I told Sophie that I wanted to act separately. She didn’t listen obediently, so I brought up the bet we made to listen to anything during the entrance examination to make her agree. There was something I really wanted to try.

“Ziel, are you ready?”

“Of course!”

I came alone to the forest where there were many orcs. But now there are very few orcs. Goblins and orcs can capture women to increase their companions, so it was thought that this was the cause of the outbreak but it seems that no woman has disappeared recently. However, there was that mysterious phenomenon in which a single person suddenly disappears. And it seems that all the victims were men. And the orcs that had been in large numbers suddenly disappeared, leaving only their usual number. The reason for this is still unknown.

I found a few orcs in the forest, summoned Ziel out of me, and gave him most of my magic power.

“Boomoh!”

“Black thunder”

Dogan!!!

When Ziel lowered his hand, black lightning struck the orcs from above with a huge thunderclap.

“After all, the power is too strong …”

The orcs I finally searched for and found disappeared without a trace.

“Isn’t there magic weaker than this?”

“There is, but the power isn’t that much different.”

“By the way, how many more shots can you release?”

“Maybe two more times”

And above all, the MP efficiency is too good. If I tried that, I would run out of magic in one shot.

“Then please come back”

“Okay”

Then I called Ziel back in and the magic power that had been entrusted to Ziel returned.

“Fu …”

Then I took a deep breath to calm down.

“Spirit Ziel Enchantment”

“Oh! 』

“Gah!”

And It released immediately without holding for 10 seconds.

“Hah … hah …”

“Are you stupid! 』

“Picon! ?

“You have obtained ‘The person who houses a spirit in his body’.”

All the MP returned is gone. But as expected, I got the title.

“Even if I push myself, will 12 seconds be the limit?”

“You …』

“Recovery enchantment”

I enchanted recovery magic because it hurts as if my whole body had muscle pain.

“Isn’t there an important match tomorrow? 』

“That’s why I wanted to try it before that.”

I didn’t want it to stand out, but if I enchant Ziel, it will stand out a lot since a thunderstorm was released from me. I wanted to use it as a trump card, but is it too much?

“Do you want to lose that badly? 』

“…”

After recovering enough to go home without any problems, I went home. Sophie was very worried about me. We had been away from her for less than four hours, but she was too worried. By nightfall, I had healed enough to be unaffected by today’s events, so I’ll be in good shape for the finals tomorrow.
