Chapter 434 – Episode 48. Trial Period and Revenge and Vampire Hunter.
“Sakagami, you have a talent for blunt martial arts, right?”
“Uh?! Can you really see it, my lord?”
Rena Sakagami was very surprised at what I said and asked back. There were many people around, so it took a long time to reveal all of Rena Sakagami’s abilities, so when I talked about things that could be revealed, Rena Sakagami was surprised and nodded her head as if it was true. Let’s tell Rena Sakagami about the detailed stats later.
“Can you really know your abilities?”
“Of course. “Why would I lie?”
“The teacher also looked at my abilities before. It was accurate back then, so it can’t be a lie.”
In response to Rena Sakagami’s surprised reaction, Yuka Otagi asked me with a look of half surprise and half suspicion, and I smiled and nodded at her. Saionji Diana, who had previously shown me abilities, testified(?), Lending strength to my claim. Now that she has confirmed Rena Sakagami’s abilities, she has to decide whether she will participate in the battle.
Looking at the stat window, direct combat wouldn’t be bad, but her defensive stats, resistance and recovery, were low, so I thought I would have to participate in the battle but go for rear support. She has owl eyes and shooting skills, so it seemed like she would be good at sniping from a distance. Since sniping without revealing the location is treated as a surprise attack, it seemed good to be able to receive the Night Stalker trait.
“First of all, since we have many vanguards, Sakagami will support us with long-distance shooting.”
“I understand, master!”
Rena Sakagami was smiling slightly, as if she was happy to participate in the battle since she had been opposed to my participation in the battle until now.
“For a moment! Please check my abilities too, I’m curious.”
“I want to try it too, Alek…” !”
As Rena Sakagami tries to go beyond the story of the glasses at the ruins by joining the battle, she wonders when Yuka Otagi and Alric raise their hands. Saionji Diana stayed still, probably because she had seen her once before and told me about it, and Shimokawa Beiren was also glancing at me as if she was curious.
I may be curious, but I think I was secretly looking forward to it because it would be very helpful if I could know my abilities in objective numbers. I looked at the glasses I had taken off.
Glasses of Ruins [Rare Item 1/7]: Wearing glasses allows you to check the target’s abilities.
I picked up a random pair of glasses from a historical site at home, and they only have one use left. Who should I use them for? I opened my mouth with an embarrassed expression.
“There is only one time left for this, so please decide whether to play rock, paper, scissors with anyone who wants to discuss it.”
Actually, personally, I wanted to use it for Alic, but if I said that, the other people who wanted it would get upset, so I told them to decide between themselves. For the rest, the order didn’t matter because you could check the abilities later with the glasses of the historical ruins that had the number of times left at home.
We talked for a while and eventually decided on rock, paper, scissors. The participants were Alic, Yuka Otagi, Airen Shimokawabe, and Akina Konoe, who seemed uninterested.
“””Rock, paper, scissors!”””
The venue instantly became a mess. Akina Konoe’s eyes were shining dangerously as if she had activated her magical eye, and Yuka Otagi and Airen Shimokawa were changing the shape of their hands several times with great reflexes.
But the winner was Alric. Instead of extending his hand, he electrocutes all three and slowly beats them all, achieving victory. Alrik… It’s scary.
“Ryuta, Alric won…” ” !”
“How can you electrocute someone in rock-paper-scissors?!”
“Alic! Did the master teach that?”
“Ah, ah, ah, ah… !”
Alric boasted to me about his victory, Otagi Yuka and Shimokawabe Airen said something to Alric, and Konoe Akina was still in shock.
Still, Alric won, so let’s take a look. I put on the glasses from the ruins I had taken off and then looked at Alrik.

When I saw Alric’s stat window, my mouth widened. It was also a future mid-boss down stat window. Looking at the stats, the necessary stats such as agility and nerve power were high, and the stats to be used for the rest of the battle were not low. Surprisingly, his intelligence is quite high at 9. So are you good at learning other languages? Still, his knowledge was very low at 2, perhaps because he had been imprisoned in a slave prison since childhood. I guess I never had a chance to learn something properly.
Surprisingly, the Alexandra subtype swordsmanship, which combined all the swordsmanship Alric had learned, was of the highest rank. It seemed that his rank had recently improved after receiving training in swordsmanship from Shimokawabe Airen at Cheongsimgwan.
In particular, all the characteristics were only necessary for high level, with the lowest charge shield being epic + grade. Also, just like Rena Sakagami’s bloodline, there was a mutation that gave it one more characteristic.
All the characteristics except for the Saint of Swordsmanship were geared toward lightning, and the synergy of this combination seemed to be enormous. If this is the case, Alric won’t have to worry about the battle either.
###
Monday 11:50 am. Me, Yuka Otagi, Diana Saionji, Alic, and Airen Shimokawabe were climbing the high stairs to Onuta Shrine. The stairs were quite steep. It seemed that the reason Onuta Shrine could not be rebuilt after the war was because it was built on such a high mountain.
They were all wearing armored cyber suits in preparation for battle, and there was a possibility that they would face retaliation from the SPF later if their identities were revealed, so everyone except Yuka Otagi covered their faces with helmets. In particular, I had to wear a helmet because I didn’t want my identity to be revealed to Taira Jiro’s ears if I showed my face.
After passing the torii gate, which was damaged and poorly maintained due to the bombings of World War III, and which was covered in moss, and went up the cracked stairs, I could see the shrine in the distance.
“That’s right! You came. Now! Detonate the claymore mine!”
We heard shouting from the shrine as if they had spotted us. But there were no explosions on our way. This was because Rena Sakagami, who was waiting at a sniping point far away, had already removed the bombs.
When the bomb failed, we seemed a little embarrassed, but soon about ten SPF soldiers at the temple entrance pointed guns at us and started shooting randomly. No, the letter said let’s fight at the shrine? Is it okay to shoot like this when we haven’t even arrived yet?
Tututututututu!!!
It was literally raining bullets on us, but Alrik stepped forward. The electrical charge shield, which is the characteristic we saw yesterday, was spread out in front of us. The silver bullets that rained down on us melted into the electric charge shield and fell to the ground in droplets, just like rain. Ah, looking at this gives me PTSD from gaming. It was very difficult for a character in the firearms tree to beat the mid-boss Alexandra.
We started climbing the stairs at a fast pace to prevent the enemies from doing anything other than shooting. Because we were running so fast, the molten silver bullets were splashing at us, but I used my telekinesis to push the molten silver bullets aside.
In fact, if you just looked at it, you would only see Alric’s electrical charge shield, but it was in the form of a double shield with my telekinetic defense waiting behind it. It would block bullets, but it was a measure to keep away things like grenades that could explode with telekinetic defense.
Bang! Bang!
A gunshot was heard, and two people fell on the stairs. It seemed that Rena Sakagami and Eve had started sniping.
Before we knew it, the distance was just a short distance away. Airen Shimokawabe, who was breathing excitedly next to me, jumped out without any time to stop me.
Bullets rained down on Shimokawa Beairen, who was not protected by her charge shield her, but Shimokawa Beairen swung her katana several times at incredible speed, deflecting her bullets. The enemies flinched for a moment at that overwhelming scene. That flinch decided their fate.
Kashimakiichi Shindo-ryu (鹿島鬼一神道流) Kuukan Issen (empty space)
In that brief moment when the enemies were not attacking, Airen Shimokawabe swung his katana horizontally as if dividing the earth and the sky. White light erupted from her sword, giving the illusion of dividing space in two.
And after the illusion disappeared, the upper and lower bodies of the ten soldiers who were shooting on the stairs were separated. The upper body fell to the ground with a pattering sound. Some bodies rolled down the stairs.
I climbed the stairs, telekinetically moving the rolling corpse aside. Behind the shrine’s building, I could see SPF troops and troops who appeared to be PMCs or terrorists who had been hired separately. There were a lot more people at the shrine than we expected. This looks like it’s almost two hundred?
” Looking at that female swordsman’s skills, I guess it was a good idea to request additional troops as Angel said…”
The man standing in the middle, with his blond hair slicked back and wearing sunglasses, threw his cigarette to the ground and opened his mouth. Listening to the blond man’s story, I thought that perhaps a man named Angel had requested additional new troops from the original force of about 100. But I think I’ve seen this guy somewhere… ?
“Nice to meet. “I am Jack Henderson, leader of SPF’s New York branch sweep team 1.”
What? Was this blonde guy Jack Henderson? I looked at the man who introduced himself as Jack Henderson with a slightly surprised look.
