S5 Appraisal Stone

Today is the day I've been waiting to check my status by appraisal stone.

This world has a status.

It's not a game, it's real. What about that? I don't even think about it, but I already gave up there.

I realized that this is the kind of world and that it would be more fun to think about it separately.

Yeah, fun.

This world is really like a game.

You will only be rewarded if you try.

Of course, there would be a difference in talent or something, but it's definitely a world where effort is easier to acknowledge than on Earth.

Anyway, the proof of effort comes back in the form of skills.

Skills are gained by taking certain actions that are appropriate to that skill, increasing the number known as proficiency.

Skills acquired are immediately exercisable as their own power.

Moreover, the more proficiency you use, the higher your skill level.

The more effort you make, the more powerful your skills become.

There's no way you won't be rewarded for trying.

It was a wonderful world.

And ever since I was born, Anna and Clebear have taught me a lot of skills.

If I do it, I'll just do it and it'll return to me.

I fell into that pleasure and gregariously gained skills.

I was imitating me, and Sue gained as much skills as I did, or too much and Anna and Clebear were donning, but you're my love.

The game is more fun to be strong.

Some people do things like tie-in play, but I prefer to get stronger and stronger with cancer.

Even more so if that's not the character of the game, but yourself.

But it's nice to get stronger that way, but there have been inconveniences in this world, too.

I can't see the status.

Even though there is a concept of status in this world, tough conditions must be fulfilled in order to see it.

I have a skill called appraisal.

By using this skill called appraisal, you can see the status, but few people have this skill.

Because in order to acquire the skills of appraisal, advanced skills are required that are beyond the control of an amateur, such as an in-depth upbringing that judges the value of itself and an observation that discerns what substance it is formed of, just like an appraiser on Earth.

And another reason why it is very difficult to increase the level of skills, even if you can acquire this skill, is that you have less skills in appraisals.

Actually, if you just acquire skills, you can't.

Skills can be acquired by consuming what is called skill points.

Therefore, you can also earn appraisal skills by paying even skill points.

I can, but it won't last after I earn it.

To increase the skill level of an appraisal, you can activate the appraisal.

Each time the appraisal is activated, proficiency increases, and if a constant value is reached, the level increases.

However, it is troublesome to activate this appraisal.

Appraisals do not consume magic or energy when activated.

Then you can activate it all you want, it's not.

There's a pit there, and when you activate the appraisal, you're hit by headaches and intoxication.

The degree seems to vary between individuals, but terrible people, for example, sometimes lose their minds just because they activated the appraisal once.

Even talented people say that when it comes to appraising two or more things at the same time, they get a terrible headache and feel sick.

That's all the damage you can do with a single activation, so activating it over and over again to earn proficiency is a hell of a struggle.

Besides, this appraisal skill comes with the addition that it is useless if you don't get to a high level.

That happens, and few people bother to acquire appraisal skills.

It's like picking up a house that's been producing appraisers for generations.

So how do you check your status, it's the appraisal stone that appears here.

Appraisal stones are magic tools made of special methods that temporarily allow you to use your appraisal skills while in your possession.

The skill level of the appraisal that becomes available depends on the quality of its appraisal stone, and the equivalent of the appraisal level 10 owned by the Royal Family exists only to the point of counting in the world.

Naturally special permission must be obtained for its use, which can only be used, for example, by grand aristocrats who are basically close to the royal family.

I am a royal person, so I have no problem using it.

Just because you're a royal person doesn't mean you can use it as you please.

I wasted a lot of time wanting to use scattered appraisal stones on Anna, but she has to be at a certain age for permission to go down.

Anything, it seems that the first time you are born with a status appraisal is a special event, and if you are also a nobleman, make it a proper ceremony and carry out the appraisal in a strict atmosphere?

I had to do that ceremony again, too.

Besides the appraisal, does this ceremony also have the significance of the child's revelation?

The results of the appraisal will be exposed to the general public, at which point they will be valued by the adults.

It's not a problem because I retain non-standard skills compared to my age, but it's horrible because they sometimes say that it's a very low status that makes me the worst judge.

Whatever it is, me and Sue are going to make it with the debut.

Me and Sue were forced to change into ceremonial children's clothes and were asked many times about the ceremony steps.

The present king, that is, me and Sue's father, will also attend the ceremony.

Other mentors who do so appear to attend, and it is unacceptable to make mistakes and shame here.

Even children are part of the royal family there.

In order to participate as the protagonist of the ceremony, he must come bearing the prestige of the royal family.

I have a heavy load on me as a former little citizen.

but when you see your sister showing a grand standing next door, a similar determination arises to the anxiety that you have to do it.

"Are you ready?

I snort silently at Anna's last words of confirmation.

"Okay, go ahead."

Anna pushed me on the back and me and Sue knocked the door to the venue side by side.
