Chapter 302 – Side Story Part 2. Naked Newbie Life (14)
We are F rank, they are C rank.
Since there is one more head on the other side, what can be exchanged for money is divided according to the number of heads, but if a rare item appears, it may become a seed of conflict.
“Oh, I haven’t talked about that part yet. Do you have any opinions?”
“7 to 3.”
“7 to 3? No way… Is that the 7?”
I shamelessly nodded.
Haha. You’re very confident, aren’t you?”
Are you laughing?
Do you think this is funny?
Is it possible to smile the same way even when an ultra-rare item has fallen?
“Do whatever you want. To be honest, we’re not that interested in items from the lowest floors. We’ve already earned enough money to live here.”
“Can you write a contract?”
I heard it from the receptionist.
There is a magic contract here that will restrict you from using your abilities in the system itself if you do not fulfill the contract.
“Of course. As much as you want. It’s actually good that you’re thorough. It’s reassuring to have a colleague like this. Isn’t that right, Shion?”
“I don’t know. Just let Dick take care of it.”
“Oh, sorry. You don’t like headaches like this.”
“Me? I don’t ask?
“Ah. What do you think Rebecca?”
“I feel secure as long as Dick is by my side?”
“…”
What on earth are those women?
Since I’m a wizard, I have a lot of questions, but I don’t know what to ask first.
Both of them have unique characters.
“Ah, but you know that, right? That contract. It’s very expensive.”
“How much is that?”
“Maybe 50 to 100 goals per sheet?”
“…”
Isn’t this a mess?
I only have 20 goals left.
“Don’t worry. We can pay that much. But if that happens, it’s prohibited to break up the party in just one day. That would be a big loss for us as well.”
“Good. Let’s stay together until we earn at least 200 goals.”
Jewelry Aira scored 30 goals from the first day, albeit thanks to the jewels.
You can easily earn 200 goals in just a few days.
Not only do I earn money alone, but I will become stronger in an instant.
“Um… Team Leader. Are you sure it’s okay?”
“Lee Yan. You can’t start anything if you worry like that.”
“That’s true, but…”
The contract went through smoothly.
I removed all content that could be unfavorable to me and enforced the loot distribution ratio of 7 to 3.
The second day ended in an instant.
* * *
“Wow! Team leader, something amazing? How did you do it?”
Dick looking at me and fussing needlessly.
I ended the battle by wiping the blood off my dagger without answering.
It’s been 3 days since I came to this world.
We began our hunt in earnest at the ruins of an ancient city to the north of town.
The monster to hunt is Red Goblin.
A monster that looked just like the ones called Honggui on Earth, or rather, was appearing here as well.
“It felt like I was teleporting.”
“Isn’t that what Zion looks like? He’s really cool. He’s a stranger after all!”
My level rose instantly.
It was only natural that he hunted the Red Goblin, which was much more powerful than the rabbit, while being only level 3.
“Okay. I’ve shown you my power, now it’s your turn.”
I also spoke informally.
How long can we only respect this side?
“Okay. Who should we start with?”
“I’ll do it first.”
The first person to step forward was a female wizard with short light green hair who looked a bit fierce(?) Named Shion.
She held out her staff towards the group of red goblins tens of meters ahead and activated her skill.
Shuuuuu-
The magical power swirling around the tip of the wand instantly created a stone with a sharp end, and the stone began to rotate rapidly.
Then, it was fired with a loud roar, and the Red Goblin, who took a direct hit, died on the spot without even knowing what was going on.
With a big hole in the head.
A nearby Red Goblin, who realized the situation late, runs towards us swinging a bat.
However, Zion’s magic was activated again in the blink of an eye, and it continued like a series of bullets.
… Two, three, four, five.
Successfully killed five Red Goblins in an instant,
[Your level has increased.]
I have leveled up again and am already level 5.
“This is a wizard…”
Li Yan muttered with her blank face.
She seemed shocked at being compared so much to herself.
‘I think he’s much stronger than me.’
I also have similar feelings.
It was much easier than my space leap, and I wiped out the enemies quickly and safely.
I guess it’s because there’s a difference in level now, but my honest feeling was that I was secretly jealous.
“Now is it my turn?”
Next, a woman with long red curly hair came out and showed off a fire magic that matched her hair color.
The flame that appeared in the shape of an arrow hit the Red Goblin and burned strongly, instantly burning his entire body and turning it into charcoal.
What Sion used was a skill called Stone Strike, and what Rebecca used was her original skill created using only magical power.
“I haven’t been able to find the fire skill stone yet. If I get it and learn it, Rebecca will become stronger.”
“Indeed…”
Li Yan couldn’t come to her senses with her mouth open in a daze.
I asked that guy as a joke.
“Are you jealous?”
“Yes? Oh, no… That’s not it…”
“You will soon become strong like that. You will also learn skills.”
“Yes…”
While we were talking, he finally came forward.
“Team leader. Look carefully from now on. Unlike Shion and Rebecca, I am not a wizard, so I don’t have that kind of firepower, but I can do things that they can’t do.”
This guy stands out right from his clothes.
A full body of metal armor that looks out of place on the lowest floor.
And a huge shield.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you, cover your ears for a moment!”
Zion and Rebecca were blocking their ears with their fingers.
I also had a vague idea of what he was going to do, so I quickly covered my ears.
“Liyan. Quickly cover your ears.”
“Yes? Yes!”
It was then.
A roar that emanates so powerfully that it makes one think the nearby ground is shaking.
It was closer to a vibration than a human voice.
Work Cry.
It was a manifestation of Dick’s skills.
‘If I didn’t get it myself, it would have been quite expensive, right?’
A must-have skill for the tank in the party.
The competition must have been that fierce, and with the value of yesterday’s magic contract, it looks like there’s quite a lot of money.
The subject is only ranked C.
“Come at us all, you stupid bastards!”
The vibrations emitted widely stimulated the Red Goblins in the area, and dozens of them rushed towards Dick from all directions.
-Tooong!
Dick pushed away the first guys that attacked with his shield, then moved his position and pushed back the guys that attacked with the shield again.
As he repeated this action several times, dozens of goblins became entangled in front of him, and a huge flame created by Rebecca exploded in that space.
-Rarrrr!
The bizarre screams of the Red Goblin, engulfed in extreme heat pain, rang out, but the screams soon subsided as several rock bullets fired subsequently pierced their entire bodies.
[Your level has increased.]
[Your level has increased.]
‘I thought you didn’t mean to give me a ride on the bus…’
In reality, it was a premium express bus.

“How do you use magic without skills?”
The part I was most curious and puzzled about.
A female wizard named Rebecca said she clearly didn’t learn any skills.
Nevertheless, since she implemented various fire magic, one can’t help but be curious.
But instead of answering my question, she suddenly looked at Dick.
I thought he was paying attention because he didn’t want to answer, but after seeing that he nodded, he looked at me again and started opening his mouth.
“Because he’s a wizard.”
“What?”
“Wizards are like this. Just like you strangers can use paranormal abilities without skills.”
Can you use paranormal abilities without skills?
When I was still puzzled, Dick spoke this time.
“It will be easier to understand if we use Sion as an example. He is a wizard with skills. Right, Sion?”
“Yes.”
“Shion is a wizard who controls dirt. Shion. Show me a little.”
“It’s annoying, but… Okay.”
When Zion stretched out her hand, the ground she was standing on began to wriggle as if it were alive.
“See? This is Sion’s ability. It’s magic. Sion. Tried that too before. Without skills.”
This time, she used her staff to cast the magic seen earlier.
Stone Strike.
A sharp rock created at the tip of the staff flew towards the front.
“I just activated it without using the skill. How does it look? The power is a world away from before, isn’t it?”
“Huh. What’s the difference?”
“Efficiency. Of course, it is possible to throw it with the same power as before. But to do that, you have to consume a huge amount of mental power. However, when you use the skill, the consumption is significantly reduced. The power is also doubled.”
“Hmm…”
“But that doesn’t mean that anyone can achieve the same power as Zion by learning the same skill. Because it is a skill with the same magical attribute as the one with which Zion awakened, a synergy effect was achieved. If I had learned the Stone Strike skill, no matter how much mental power I had to draw, Even if we collect them together, they will only be able to produce 10% of Zion’s power.”
In a word, anyone can learn a skill if they have a skill stone, but in order to demonstrate proper power, you must choose and learn the skill that is right for you.
“That’s why I only learned Warcry. Because I aim to be an ultimate tank. It’s in the same context that I chose these two guys as my party mates. They have the ability to support the firepower I lack. Do you understand this far?”
I thought he was just a bitch, but he turns out to be quite the brainiac.
Although it is of the same C rank, it is much stronger than Morton of the Depay Clan.
I asked about this right away.
“Ah. That? Haha. Well, we’re a bit strong for C rank.”
Stop being arrogant and tell me the reason.
“The reason is simple. I didn’t hunt for a while because I was trying to get Warcry and Stone Strike skill stones. No, I couldn’t do it. Even after I learned it, I devoted myself to training.”
“Water lily?”
“Ah, don’t you know that yet? You don’t necessarily have to hunt monsters and raise your level to become stronger. Wizards in particular need a lot of practice to utilize the elements they awaken. Perhaps your paranormal abilities are the same?”〈 Br〉
What is it?
I was holding back as much as I could because I was wasting my mental power, but the more I use it, the stronger I become?
“How do you train when your mental power is limited?”
“Of course, I need the help of potions.”
Ah… Is it money in the end?
Okay. In the end, it is money.
First, you need to start by saving money.
You need to save up a lot of money and buy a lot of mental strength recovery potions and practice first.
Space manipulation.
According to Dick’s explanation, my paranormal abilities can also be manifested without skills, and they become more powerful as I continue to train.
Still, I decided to give it a quick test just in case.
My mental power is now over 90%.
It would be okay to use it as an experiment at least once.
‘Space manipulation… Space manipulation…’
It literally manipulates space.
The skill I have, Space Leap, is also a skill that changes the place I want to move to, the place I am standing, and the space itself.
So wouldn’t something like this be possible?
I stretched out my hand into the air and caught something.
Then, the surrounding area was distorted for a moment and then quickly returned to its original state.
“…!!”
And before I knew it, I was holding the old wooden bat that Red Goblin had dropped.
‘Awesome!’
It was something that was rolling on the floor about 20 meters away from my current location just a little while ago.
