Chapter 26 – 26.Skill Test (1)
***
After making an appointment to finish spa with Arts Bal and selecting classes for Pamela, she and Pamela headed to the academy’s cadet counseling room.
“Yes, what brought you here?”
“I want to create a group.”
“You are talking about creating a group. How many people are currently trying to join?”
“There are two people.”
“Unfortunately, the minimum number of people to create a group is 3.”
The agent took out the group creation application form from the drawer.
“Once the number of people willing to join is reached, please enter your name in this field and come back to apply.”
“I understand.”
After finishing my errands, I left the counseling center right away.
“Uh, what should I do? Well, we can’t form a group with just the two of us…”
“There’s nothing to worry about. It’s like the third person has already arrived.”
“What do you mean? No way…”
“Yes. Atsubal Genedic. He will be the third group member.”
“B-but that person is a nobleman and he… Uh, he hates Mr. Sihan so much?”
Right now, Atsbal clearly thinks I’m an arrogant guy and he hates me.
This is especially true because Atsubal is aggressive and confident in his abilities.
However, because of her personality, it is easier to attract her to the group.
“I will place a bet when we spar.”
“My bet?”
“Yes. I’m going to offer Atsubal a simple bet where I grant one wish to the winner. If that’s his personality, he’ll definitely accept it. Besides, Atsubal won’t be too hostile after he joins the group.”
“Uh, why?”
“Heh. Men become friends while fighting.”
“Is that so?”
Pamela tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.
Of course, it would be rare for us to become friends during a real fight, but that would be enough if I could use my piercing snout technique and coax them out.
“Pamela, do you have anything else to do at the academy?”
“Oh, no! There isn’t one!”
“I see. Then… Let’s go to the clothing store together.”
“Oh, a clothing store?”
“Yeah. When I think about it, I was really indifferent to you too.”
“You were indifferent?”
Pamela didn’t understand me at all.
I said this on purpose to see the next reaction.
“I was training my physical strength, but I didn’t buy the right clothes and made me run only in the clothes I normally wear. Starting tomorrow, I’m going to wear the clothes I normally wear.”
“Uh, uh…”
“So, let’s go buy gym clothes for physical training. If it’s gym clothes, you can buy them right away.”
She gently placed her hand on Pamela’s her shoulder.
“And let’s wear new clothes and develop physical strength with a new mind.”
“…”
Pamela’s complexion turned blue.
I feel sorry for Pamela, but she had such an attractive face that I wanted to take a screenshot.
And Pamela, who only turned blue but didn’t make excuses for wanting to run away or do something else, confirmed once again that she really has a good heart.
***
After buying her gym clothes and training her hard, she broke up with Pamela.
As always, Pamela looked to die for after her fitness training.
I didn’t push too hard, so I’ll recover after some rest.
‘The time has finally come.’
And, left alone in the room, I took out the reward I received today from my inventory.
Rare item box.
This is a box that randomly contains rare grade items.
A box tied with a light blue yellow ribbon.
Since there was no item like this in Rupan, I was curious about what would come out.
From the beginning.
‘There is no rare level itself.’
Weapons also exist in 4-star and 5-star grades, and there are no grades such as common, rare, legendary, ancient, or mythic like in other games.
No, it may be that rare in the first place.
Anyway.
‘In the end, you won’t know unless you look.’
I untied the knot of the well-wrapped yellow ribbon.
Then the box floated in the air, and the moment the lid opened, light came out.
“… ?”
A box came out exactly like the one I just unwrapped the ribbon from.
‘What?’
A notification window appears when you are puzzled by an incomprehensible phenomenon.
[Rare item box won.]
“Is this also treated as a rare item?”
I was dumbfounded and untied the ribbon knot once more.
[Rare item box won.]
Another duplicate item appeared.
‘Matryoshkanya.’
Could it be that the same box keeps appearing if you solve it without meeting certain conditions? A question passed by.
“Oh, no way.”
Hoping that wasn’t the case, I unwrapped the ribbon again, and luckily this time, an item other than a box came out.
[Magic power increase potion (+5): A rare potion that increases magic power by 5 when taken.]
“Oh.”
An item came out that was better than expected, enough to blow away the absurdity of the two times.
An item that increases the lowest magical power among my abilities by 5 points.
I am not a wizard, but seeing Pamela use the skill, it is an item that increases magical power, which is an ability that is likely to be involved in the maximum usage of the skill.
Plus, 5 each.
This figure can be obtained only after catching 5 Rubids, the bandit executives, and then killing them all.
In other words, it’s like getting 5 rubids worth of points.
I can’t believe I got an item like this just by entering the academy.
‘You’re lucky.’
I immediately opened the bottle and swallowed the potion.
[Magic power has increased by 5.]
‘Status Window’
A notification popped up, but I opened the status window to make sure.

The magic attribute value increased from 2 to 5 to 7.
Even though he was a spearman, he boasted the highest magical power.
Thanks to the newly acquired skills and increased magical power, I am fierce.
‘I want to test it.’
The desire to write a special song arose.
Because it’s the perfect song.
Because it is the last and final skill you get when you master the spear tree.
That’s because it’s a skill that has the illusion of a huge spear falling from the sky.
It is a skill that every man would want to use at least once.
A being no different from the so-called meteor of a spear magician.
That was the perfect song.
But there was no suitable place to test it.
I’m not sure how the final skill is treated in this world.
Even if it is a final skill, there are many skills whose effects are not flashy. However, the best part is, as the description says, a huge spear being thrown into the ground.
It’s cool, but if this happens in reality, the fallout will be significant.
At the moment of writing, it is unclear whether it falls from above my head or whether it really falls from the sky.
If it is the latter, the moment it is used indoors, the building will inevitably be damaged.
However, you can’t leave the acquired skills without ever using them.
The perfect environment to write a special song.
A place where the surroundings are open and there are no problems in using it.
After thinking about it for a while, a good idea came to me, as if inspired.
Yes.
“Let’s catch the bandits.”
I live outdoors with no buildings around
Even if you catch it, you won’t get scolded and you will be able to farm the hood and loot, which is actually beneficial.
It was perfect to test the skills on the bandits.
In the first place, it is better to have a lot of bandits because they are of no help except for loot farming.
After deciding on a policy, I came out of the room and knocked on Pamela’s door.
Knock knock
“Who are you?”
“Pamela, it’s me.”
With a squeak, the door opens.
“Si, Mr. Sihan? What’s going on?”
Pamela, who had changed from her gym clothes to casual clothes, gently opened her door and stuck out her bare face.
“Seo, is this really additional physical training!? Si, si, si, Sihan, if you say you need blood, hee hee, I’ll do my best… I’ll do my best!”
Pamela shook her body.
Do you really hate physical training that much?
I’ve never really ordered too much.
“I didn’t come here for physical training.”
“Oh, isn’t it?”
“I’m planning to go to Valendia tomorrow for some business. I just came to tell you that.”
“Is it Valendia? Um, me too…”
“No, there is no need for you to come with us this time. It is a personal matter. However, it is not polite for the group to leave without saying anything, so I came to tell you.”
If I leave early in the morning without saying a word, Pamela will definitely be alone with negative thoughts.
“Uh… Isn’t that a nuisance if someone like me keeps following you around? Is it annoying? Even if you’re just a friend, there’s a line you have to keep. Ha, haha, haha…”
Pamela falls into a negative illusion again and laughs soullessly.
“If you want to follow me, you can.”
“Really!”
“Yes. It’s okay if you can do that after training.”
“… Yes?”
“I’m going to Valendia tomorrow, so I’m planning on doing physical training in the morning. You don’t have any classes to take tomorrow anyway. That’s perfect.”
“Uh… I can do it after I get back, right?”
“The errands in Valendia will take some time. You might come back late in the evening, so it’s better to do them in the morning. You can’t miss even a day of physical training.”
“Hee, hee, I’ll do my best…” ” I’ll do my best… “
And the next day.
“Huh! Huh! Huh… Ah, ahhh…”
“This concludes today’s physical training. Pamela, are you ready to leave for Valendia?”
“I… I’m sorry… I can’t, hehe! I can’t move… I… “
“I see. Is there anything you’d like to bring when you come?”
“Nothing… Yo. Rather, water… ! Please give me some water… !”
I decided to go to Valendia alone.
After making sure that Pamela entered the room, she headed to the transference room at Lucedia Academy.
“This is my first time seeing you. Could you show me your badge? … I checked. Which warp seat will you use?”
“This is Valendia.”
“You can use the warp seat on the far left. Just place your hand on the warp seat and think of where you want to go. Please enter your name and destination here before using.”
After completing the entry, she approached the warp seat, touched it as instructed, and thought that she wanted to go to Valendia. At the same time, her body felt like it was floating, and the scene before her eyes changed.
Nearby, I could see the Valendia Branch Transition Room Information Center sign and a guide waiting underneath it.
Looking back, the warp stone installed in Valendia was a little distance away.
She walked to the information center and asked the receptionist.
“Is this Valendia?”
“Yes! Welcome to Valendia! Is this your first time in Warp?”
“Yes.”
“Thank you for choosing Warp as Valendia for the first time! Do you feel dizzy or dizzy?”
“No.”
“Good luck! If you don’t mind, please write your name here!”
Since it was natural to come from Lucedia Academy anyway, there was no need to write down the departure point.
After finishing filling out the information and leaving the transfer room, the familiar scenery of Valendia came into view.
‘Let’s go.’
I headed towards Cats Store to get supplies to test my skills.
