Inferior Magic Swordsman: Using the Skill Board to Become the Strongest Chapter 72: A New Friend

Chapter 72: A New Friend

“There are generally two types of skills. Passive skills and Techniques. Passives are sothing that you have by nature and you cannot “grow” them. Nevertheless, Techniques can grow through training. Anyone can grow if they trained.” (Esther)

“Wow!”

What Esther ans by “grow” is that the Technique can sprout like a seed.

So it beca the common term for “grow”. [Note: So they are discussing the terms and aning of 生える/haeru/ “grow” it is the first one it can be used to things that develop like animals undergoing tamorphosis or seeds germinating. The second one 芽が出る/gaderu can an grow like the first one or getting lucky.]

Anyway, I just said, “That sounds good!”, and I made a ntal guts pose.

“Anyone can grow if they continue training.” (Esther)

In other words, there is a possibility that you can acquire skills without allocating skill points.

If you can grow skills consciously, you can save on skill points.

“By the way, how long does it take until a skill grows?”

“It depends on whether or not you have ‘talent’, but it is said that it is about a year on average.” (Esther)

–I take back my previous statent.

It is faster to acquire new skills by leveling.

Toru quickly gave up how to “grow” new skills intentionally.

“By the way, it takes a lot of ti to raise the skill level. Generally, it takes a year for levels 1 to 2. 2 years for levels 2 to 3. It is said that level 3 to 4 takes at least 3 years.”

My honest impression was that it was just like kendo.

In kendo, there is a rule that you have to train more than one year to reach second dan from first dan.

It seems that skills do not increase overnight.

“Well, that does not an there is no way to quickly develop skills or raise skill levels.” (Esther)

“Oh! How do you do that?”

“If it is combat skills, warriors who fight against far superior enemies grow faster.” (Esther)

“Really.”

Hearing Esther’s thod, I froze.

“That is all?”

“Hmm. It is just like what Esther said. If you fight a strong opponent, it is easier to grow. Nevertheless, you will die most of the ti. So it is better to quit before you begin.” (Lily)

Lily neatly popped my hopes and dreams.

(Well, that is right, is not it?)

In this world, there is always a return for every risk.

There is no such thing as an easy way.

After finishing the special training with Esther, I went out of the walls of Finlis and went to a pond.

Now that I have a house, I can do the three things I wanted to do.

“Well, is that …?”

As I stared at the pond, I found ripples on the shore of the pond that was different from the natural ones.

“Oh, there you are!”

I imdiately approached the ripples.

On the shore of the pond, a transparent creature shaped like a stead bun floated.

-It is a sli.

“Nufufufufu …”

I picked up the sli as if I was scooping it.

The third thing I wanted to do was to find a pet.

I have always loved small animals.

Even in Japan, I had experience raising small dogs.

Small animals are a source of healing.

Advertisents

They make your life better.

Therefore, I wanted to raise a pet when I got a house.

“I thought a Silver Wolf would be good, but it would be dangerous to leave one in town.”

Silver Wolves have just attacked Finlis.

Even if I find a Silver Wolf that does not attack humans, the inhabitants will feel uneasy seeing one.

Therefore, a sli it is.

Slis are one of the few monsters that can coexist with humans.

With a sli, there is no problem even if I keep one at ho.

I put the sli in my bag.

“Hmm~ Hmm~ Hmm~”

I quickly returned to my house, while humming excitedly.

I entered my room, took out the sli from my bag.

“This is your ho from today onwards!”

Can the sli see that this is not the place where he used to live? The sli was moving sowhat hesitantly.

I took out the surplus chicken steak that I had put in the [Inventory].

I placed it in front of the sli.

The sli shook as if it was surprised by the appearance of the at.

“You can eat it.”

I said, Sli touched the steak gingerly.

Pikun!

The whole body of sli trembled. Then the next mont.

“Oh!”

The sli spread out and swallowed the steak that was twice as big as its own size.

The steak swallowed by sli is gradually being dissolved in its body.

“Oh, this is … interesting.”

The steak loses its shape like iron lting on an acidic solution.

I watched the steak until it disappeared completely.

At Finlis, a sli is in charge of water purification and garbage disposal.

Esther said that so households keep slis for garbage disposal.

Originally, it is a creature that decomposes kitchen waste.

Advertisents

However, I did not feel like giving my sli garbage.

No matter how used this sli is in eating leftover food, it is already family as long as it is my pet.

I think that I should feed him the sa food as my family.

When the steak was fully dissolved, I gave it so steak again.

Perhaps he would not be full; Sli had finished the steaks that I had put in my [Inventory].

After finishing the al, the sli flew with a Poyon and got on my lap.

I guess giving him the steak made him think that “He is a good guy who going to give good food”.

I pat the sli’s top, which is a little cool; I cannot help but smile completely due to the slis cuteness.

“You are Pino from today. Nice to et you, Pino.”

“(Nyon!)” (Pino)

Pino stretched its body vertically in response to my words.

I was watching its movents and noticed a slight change in Pino.

“Hmm … has the color of your nucleus change?”

When I caught the Pino, its nucleus had a bluish color.

Now it is a little purple.

“Is it because of the at? I wonder if the color changes depending on their food.”

Pino lived in the pond. It was light blue because it was absorbing the water from the pond, and it turned purple because it ate at. It seems to make sense when you think about it.

Nevertheless, why did the at cause it to turn purple?

“at … Oh, if you mix blue and red, it will turn purple, right?”

The color of blood mixed in the at combined with the original light blue nucleus made it light purple.

“That ans, if I feed it various kinds of food in the future, the color will change and it might turn black?”

A sli with a black nucleus.

It seed to be strong.

Moreover, it looks very Chuuni.

I made the skill board appear while thinking about Pino’s future.
