Chapter 131

Ch 131 — Teach Me, Fer-Sensei!

The next morning on our way to the dungeon’s entrance I asked Fer about the new Skill forced on me by those Deplorable Deadbeat Deities . “You see Fer, yesterday I, uh,  ‘received’ a new Skill from the Gods called Perfect Defence, do you know anything about it?”

“Perfect Defence, huh?” Fer thought for a moment . “That sounds like a really good Skill for you to get . It protects you completely from hostile attacks . You’ve got my Barrier which is the same thing, sort of, but I can’t keep it in place around you all the time . ”

“One of the Gods, Vulcan-sama I think? said you couldn’t keep Barrier up continuously . I was surprised . ”

“Idiot . ” Fer said bluntly . “You’ve used magic yourself, you know you can’t do something like that continuously . Even I can’t keep Barrier up for more than five days at a time . ” Five days? That was a lot longer than I expected but this was Fer, after all .

Having learned that I came to the conclusion that getting the Perfect Defence Skill was a pretty good deal for me, a “Skill that completely defends from attacks by hostile forces . ” I felt better about entering the dungeon now and I thanked the Gods for giving it to me . Should I maybe give them something extra next offering time? Thinking about the Gods and Goddesses and the new Skill I had supposedly received I realised I hadn’t checked my Status recently . Was this new Skill actually there?

So there’s my Perfect Defence Skill . If I shifted my Appraisal point of view to the words ‘Perfect Defence’ . . .

[ Perfect Defence . . . . . . a Skill that completely protects against physical attack and magical attack from hostile forces ]

Oh, an explanation appeared, confirming what Fer had just said . Thinking about it when I Appraised the Mithril knife and sword that Sui made for me there was an explanatory note attached too . I didn’t think it strange at that time but maybe for some reason my Appraisal Skill has levelled up? This sort of thing . . . teach me, Fer-sensei!

“Fer, if I use Appraisal on something like my Perfect Defence Skill, I now see an explanation . . . ”
