Volume 3 - CH 20

The skill’s name appeared the moment I touched the rainbow skill orb.

《Rainbow skills》

[Assassin: lvl 1]

Ooh, the skill I wanted came out! Before I could shout out in joy myself, Livia next to me hugged me harder and shouted out, “You did it lord Crest!”

“Yeah, I did!” As expected, the first gacha of the month is great. For now all I can get are hits. Let’s check out what it does for now.

【Assassin: grants you with the assassin state】

The state of an assassin? What’s that supposed to mean? Through further appraisal I examined that too.

【Assassin state: Improves abilities such as presence detection and presence isolation】

I see. I guess it’s not a skill for directly killing things as an assassin, but rather focuses more on the preliminary actions. As its level goes up my ability in convert actions should rise as well.

I’ll leave trying it out in practice for later, for now I’ll spin the gacha another time.

I have 5000 points left.

“I hope you get another skill you don’t have this time.”

“Yeah.” Of course I’d like to have assassin level up again, but for now I want to get a new skill. With that goal in mind, I once again rolled the gacha.

The chest appeared, and from it came four types of orbs. Together we counted them, and found that we got a rainbow orb!

“4 bronze, 4 sliver, 2 gold, 1 rainbow… you did it! Since we got 2 rainbow orbs this time, perhaps we’ll be able to get all the skills this time!”

“Yeah… hopefully we don’t end up with overlaps as well.”

“Right. Let’s take a look at them!” With Livia rushing me I began checking my skills. Starting from bronze.

They’re getting stronger at least. Next up are the four silver skills. I’m a bit sad that fewer went into magic skills this time.

Hmm? More skills I’ve never seen before. Shinobi step technique and Key technique, huh. I’ve never seen those two before.

What kind of skills are they?

I’ll start by checking out the Silent step technique skill. I used Appraisal on the skill.

【Silent step technique: erases sound】

Got it. With the assassin skill it should help me with infiltration. But right now the level is still only 1 so it seems that the effective time is quite low.

I’m looking forward to seeing it go up as I roll the gacha. Next up, Key technique. I examined the skill.

【Key technique: Can make keys, able to unlock with those keys】

Oh? Were my expectations spot on? There probably aren’t that many locks here in the lower world. For now, I can make keys with construction technique and smithing technique, but I don’t imagine other tribes will be making locks. With that being the case, it doesn’t look like there will be too many places I’ll be able to use this skill.

In the upper world though it would probably be a criminal type skill. Well, I suppose I am supposed to be in the upper world right now so it can’t be helped that I’m getting skills like this. I’ll have to save testing these skills out for later as well.

Next up I took a look at the gold skills. Hopefully I can get trap magic again…

Oh, It’s trap magic. With this I can load it with level 2 magic so its usefulness should be higher than before. Now for the finale. One rainbow skill. Feeling nervous, I confirmed the rainbow skill.

…Damn! It’s the same one. Of course I am grateful for the level increase, but not this skill right now… I’d much rather have gotten a different skill.

“That’s a shame, lord Crest.”

“Right. But well, I guess we can enjoy that after tomorrow.”

“Yes. If it’s you lord Crest then you’ll be able to get all of them.” Livia told me happily.

“Well then lord Crest, shall we sleep together?”

“…I’d like to try out the skills for a bit if that alright with you?” I put my hands together and looked into Livia’s eyes.

“Just a bit longer alright? It’s already pretty late in the night.”

“Got it.” With Livia’s blessing, I got to trying my skills right away. I’ll leave assassin for last. I’ll start with Shinobi feet technique. I guess it erases sounds?

After activating it, I tried taking a step.

“Ah, the sound is gone.” Just as Livia said, no matter how hard I stomped it didn’t make any footstep sounds. But the active time was only 10 seconds. There weren’t any limitations on reuse so there was no problem with me using it over an over again.

“If it’s like this there aren’t any problems with level 1.”

“That’s because you have a lot of magic power lord Crest. But with this it should be possible for you to act in infiltration type settings.”

“…That’s right. There might be a chance to use it as we go in for the next battle.” There’s a chance we might take this route for our next fight. Considering that we need to rescue Vanya’s companions, this skill has pretty good usability.

Even in the off chance that we end up having to fight, I can sneak in alone and cause chaos among the enemy ranks.

Next up I’ll check out Key technique.
