BXBX NOVEL Chapter 39
The level of classes of the hero school is high.
While it is more like a common talk around here, I agree with it as well.
In particular, there are many practical classes, notably those taught by Elna-sensei.
As usually, today’s morning time is dedicated to battle training.
「If you want to know about your abilities, you have to use the appraisal item, got it? It is not what you would do just once, because human abilities are growing.」
To sum it up, to check the growth of your abilities, each time you have to use the appraisal items.
「Usually it would mean you have to pay for it, but, fortunately, there are a lot of children of nobility and big merchants. So, if possible, do it regularly, once in two weeks, or at least monthly.」
The teacher knows about me possessing an appraisal eye. That’s because I let her know about it.
But if I brag about it, everyone will be rushing to me, so letting the others know about it seems to be out of the question.
「Aside from that, today we will be hitting the target there with a stone or knife.」
In front of us, a round target was installed. The height is roughly about our height, with radially drawn circles, areas and numbers.
Starting from the center they are numbered from 100 points in the center, 70 from outside circumference, 50 on the outer side and so on.
「The range is 15 meters. Though it is a bit too far, at least it is not moving, so, please, do your best. Go and try to hit it, one by one.」
Everyone formed a line and performed throws, one by one.
Unexpectedly, only a few students were able to hit the target.
If it were magic, it would be a different story.
「The swing of the hand is not good at all. With the stone and with the knife, if it is bad, it won’t hit the right spot」
The teacher is giving instruction about the form.
Upon seeing such absence of skill beyond the expectations, the teacher grows slightly impatient. If I happen to practice that bad, it would be not that nice.
As I thought about it, my mood improved.
Shyu-zan!
The girl with a familiar appearance threw a knife and let it hit spectacularly.
「It was a wonderful trow, it went in center.」
「I practiced from my early childhood.」
「Try to refine your skills like this student.」
「Yes!」
After appraising the skill 【Throwing C】owned by that girl, it displayed the following information:
Let’s look into details.
[Throwing]C 250ＬＰ
[Throwing]B 500ＬＰ
[Throwing]A 800ＬＰ
[Throwing]S 1500ＬＰ
As a result of LP gathering straight from every morning, together with lantern monster dishes from yesterday, I currently have 1500 LP.
Is it safe to get A? But throwing is not used in my primary fighting style.
Would it be C or B…? I’m going to consult the master about LP, – it is certainly going to be C.
The girl from earlier has enough power to use C. Of course, I can’t get it to by earning experience, so I can not throw at the same level as her right away.
「Noir, next」
「Yes!」
After selecting the knife, trying to use the skill of my own.
Zuka…
Un, not good… . It deviated greatly from the target and hit an empty space.
「Noir’s hand… is not that good, right?」
「Seems so…」
「First of all, the shape is bad, that’s it」
The teacher explained the subject in details. As the related issues had been cleared, students’ eyes finally started shining.
「It looks like it is not that close .」
「It seems so. It is closer to ours…」
Teacher and me were surprised. I usually give a hug instead of a massage, so the feeling of resistance from bringing my body closer was weak.
「Here, do not say strange things」
「So-, sorry!」
「I understand, try throwing it」
「R,.. right!」
After receiving guidance from the teacher, I throw again. Uwa…, I missed it again.
「Do not get so upset, it is better than before」
After receiving the guidance, I was closer to the idea than I was before.
I got [Throwing C] and threw it again once the current ability was found out.
「Oh… kyu… what was that, all of sudden?」
It hit right in the middle of the target. Skill assistance is rather excellent, right?
「You did it!」
「Noir-san is really good. I will do my best to catch up with you.」
Emma and Maria were also praised. It seems to be useful somehow, I guess it is a skill to take without regretting.
In particular, as the rank of the 【Throwing】skill goes up, the speed, power, and precision of hitting will rise. Furthermore, the motion becomes short and it becomes easier to throw even heavy things.
It also appears that I can change the trajectory to S shape. It becomes monstrous, right? If I get an opportunity, I’m going to rise it up.
◇ ◆ ◇
After school, we went to the hidden dungeon, as planned. To the 1st layer.
「Kyaapyu-a-a-a」
As it made that sound, the golden acid-spitting slime was killed.
Being a food source itself, the body of the monster is a food ingredient. It is going to be delicious. It is a sweet jelly, but the amount of LP gained from it is small.
Considering the impression and emotions involved, LP increases the most when you first experience something.
Especially the way of cooking is an important factor.
If it is done in the same way, the second time the amount of LP obtained from it drops greatly. It is a complex thing, so it seems…
It is easy to get the LP after flirting with the girls though.
Is this supposed to make me tired of the tongue?
Anyways, let’s go to my master at the 2nd layer.
『Happy birthday to you ~~, Noir!』
My master is bound by the cursed chain of death as usual, but today she is in high spirits.
「Where is that Noir? My birthday is not today.」
『How boring…. Even though I wanted to celebrate something, anything would do! I wanted to celebrate. Olivia, I do not have to bless someone.』
「My master is not that interested in others, right?」
『Maybe it is right. I wonder if it is the first time I thought of someone like this…』
My master making fun of me is like a greeting, so I casually brush it off with yes-yes.
It slightly overlaps with my interactions with father. Nonetheless, the master is a person that became a legend.
『What are your plans for today? Would you like to talk to Olivia til morning?』
「Unfortunately, I should challenge the 7th layer.」
『What happened to the black lion?』
「It is living at home, guarding etc. I could ask him for help, but it would be rather troublesome, as his body is rather big.」
In the six layer, the pathway was relatively narrow.
It hurts to be unable to use 【Dungeon Portal】.
Because the passage is small, the body of the Toramaru would not pass well, I think.
『Olivia’s intuition says, that there could be a treasure somewhere ahead.』
「Why do you think so?」
『When I visited various dungeons, the drops on 7th layer were nice.』
「eh…」
My master can rely on whatever she could, and I’m full of expectations. Instead, it is more difficult than in the other layers.
Well, there are bonus stages that may include only valuables.
Now, I’m going to explain my skills and LP, as I would do. Now the learned skills look like this:
[Great Sage] [Create] [Grant] [Edit] [Gold to LP Conversion] [Appraisal Eye] [Item Appraisal] [Storage C] [Dungeon Portal] [Stone Bullet] [White Flame] [Purification] [Excavation] [Backstep Enhancement] [Ukemi] [Flash] [Magic Fusion] [Deodorization] [Lucky Pervert] [Shoulder Massage] [Night Vision] [Abnormal State Recovery C] [Throwing C]
『The amount of LP is still insufficient, isn’t it? Because Olivia was doing whatever desired, there had been always tens of thousands of LP!』
「Isn’t my master just too honest to herself…?」
『You! Don’t cross the line』
「I won’t take it so easy. Because I’m a proud healthy man.」
『Hey, can I make some advice on a healthy range?』
「Certainly, do, please!」
From the point of view of my master, it seems it is easier to inform me about my weakness.
I listened to the master’s words with a serious expression.
