Chapter 4 (1/2)
Chapter 004: We're finally in the other world! (Two)
“Did you not get it!?”
Haruka and I crowded around To him to look flustered
This is bad This is really bad Especially if he'd already made some bad decisions!
“Toht now!”
“Huh? OK…”
Cowed by Haruka'slook, Tomoya hurriedly read off his skills
——————————————————————————-
[Aptitude with Swords] [Sword Skill Lv3] [Charge Lv1]
[Roar Lv1] [Evasion Lv2] [Toughness Lv4]
[Speed Lv2] [Appraisal Lv2] [S Lv1]
——————————————————————————-
…Yes!! There were no land hed in relief
“You know, I really wanted to get that ‘EXP Gain' skill, but I didn't have enough points to do that and still create a cool keive it up”
“Well, you ht choice!” I hurriedly assured him
“Yeah! I' your eccentric nature and all!” Haruka huffed
That was a close call! While ‘EXP Gain' wasn't deadly, it would have her for Tomoya!
“Huh, really? But won't it help e in battle a lot,” Toe trap!”
And so, Haruka and I took turns explaining that many of the supplementary skills added to our lists were potential land mines Soon, Tomoya's face looked white as a sheet…
“SERIOUSLY!?”
He yelled, looking for all the world like Munch's Scream
“Wait! What? So, if I'd made a mistake with ht I wonder if those lowlifes who got ‘Skill Steal' are already dead?” Haruka mused
“Yeah, Instant Death is definitely possible for those guys Especially if we have no way of knowing the average skillthat skill against an enemy can mean death”
Besides, the skill is returned to the owner upon er lifespan because of'Skill Steal' on them
Anyway, the ability to steal skills without any repercussions just gives uess for people who are determined to steal soht still be a great deal, despite its downsides…
“Scary! How horrible!! What an evil God!”
Tomoya still looked like the Scream
Yep, I could totally empathize I felt the same hen I first saw the new explanations after I'd selected ‘Help'
“But I still think he(?) was actually nice? The advice provided in ‘Help' was really convenient, and he kept re us that there was no way to cheat the system So those who still decided to choose cheat-like skills are actually reaping what they sowed?”
“Nah, I don't think so I , since it gives zero uess so
The other skills all had some sort of merit attached, which ‘EXP Gain' didn't… Why was that?
Maybe its effect would be enhanced, when coames, where skills seem useless on their own, but when paired with other skills, they become extremely useful
“Hmm, I don't know, but he did tell us that hard work always pays off, so I didn't expect things to be easy? Besides, he also said that e desire is definitely within reach, which is quite good advice too”
Haruka was right The evil God did say those things, which was not exactly evil of him
If anted a skill that made life easier, ould have to put in much more effort than anyone else… It sounded just like what a fair and just God would putskills, on't have enough points for inal skills that he offered… Were actually already pretty great I hness' seemed really important”
“Yeah Sci-fi stories always talk about civilizations being wiped out because they have no resistance to sohness' really that iht Tomoya doesn't have access to ‘Help'
Even so, he'd invested and gotten the skill at a high level He's always been lucky like that
I ed to avoid all the land‘Help'
“But it says there may be new, unknown viruses here in the explanation That's why I decided to choose it,” I explained
“We ain some resistance to that, but it doesn't s like insurance here,” Haruka ht There probably aren't systems like health or life insurance in this world
If we don't get to work quickly, there's a high chance that we'll end up dead In this world, we no longer have parents or guardians as protection
“Really!? Phew~ I'lad I selected it,” Tomoya finally seemed somewhat relieved
While you can't tell just frohness' that it applies to illnesses as well, with such a high level as Toained resistance to ht, on to my skills next These were my choices…” Haruka announced
