We have a level system in place for mankind.

Looking at Fujimori with a satisfying expression, a sense of confrontation arose. I realized he was a man who wanted to do everything for strength. And I feel envious.

In a world like this, I feel anxious about the future and try to secure food, clothing, fuel, etc., but he lives only for strength.

Let's go home.

Misaki raised her voice. We disappeared and left the scene.

"Hey, my guardian was taken by Fujimori. What do you want me to do?

I see. Aim for the Guardian of the Oki District. "

"But the guardian over there is tough."

I remember the Guardian attacking at high speed. It's too strong for a river well. Probably won't keep up with the speed, so it'll fit back in.

But you can fight alone. The individual level of the river well is [14]. After returning from Mikazuki City, it seems that the hunt leveled up. It's impossible to fight the Guardians of Koki Ward.

"You can fight together. In the end, I'll just give it to the river."

"Are you sure?

"Oh, as it is, it's not a good balance as a team."

So we went to Koki Ward.

"Misaki-san, Fujibayashi used a Japanese sword, but the weapon wasn't a spear?

Elena asked Misaki.

Speaking of which, Hiroki and the others used a special spear when they encountered Fujimori.

"He's a type of weapon that can be used by others."

"Well, it's the same as Kojiro."

I looked like I didn't like it. It is true, but I am not convinced that it is the same as Fujimori.

"But in the case of Fujimori, you can use three different weapons."

You're losing in numbers, Kojiro.

"You don't have to have more weapons."

We went to the farmers' cooperative building in Koki District. On the way, I ran into several goblins, but they didn't attack me because I had a talisman.

Enter the Agricultural Cooperative Building and head to the first basement floor. I encountered the Triangular Demon again. The figure was the same as the previous Guardian. However, the weapon in your hand is replacing a regular baton. Looks like there's only one truncheon.

I set up a truncheon and entered "Fast Combat Mode", a combat posture using "Speed Thinking" and limb strength. I'll step forward and go into battle.

Looking at my battle with the Guardian that started on the highway, it seems the others decided to cover it from afar.

"Why are you moving so fast?

The river told me to be stupid.

Elena answers proudly.

"The combination of skills and Kojiro's efforts."

"But it's dangerous to fight alone. We need to find some kind of skill to join the fight."

Elena and Kawai nodded to Misaki's opinion.

In the meantime, the battle between me and the Guardian continued. The Speed is higher than the Guardian of the Dragon Ward. In other words, I won that monster faster.

It used to be mutually reinforcing, but it's probably because of the elevated individual levels. The truncheon struck the guardian's shoulder. Your shoulders are falling apart and your body fluids are pouring out.

Chance. I smashed the articular bone into the guardian's right knee with a swivel.

"Now, Michihar."

The river rushed over and shook down its sword. A guardian with an injury to his leg was inevitable. The great sword slit his chest. A match has been decided.

There must have been a voice in the head of the river well.

"What is the reward for defeating the Guardian?

"It was all about leveling up one skill."

In the head of the river well, the voice of the example echoes.

Level Up

Level Up

Level Up

Level Up

Level Up

While waiting for the river well to recover from the pain of level-up, I was thinking about level-up myself. The candidate areas are Weird Beast Ward, Grassy Dragon Ward, and Feilong Ward.

The Spirit Ward was excluded. I never figured out how to defeat Firebird. Now, the easiest Guardian among the candidates is the Guardian of the Weird Beast Quarter.

The Weird Beast Zone's Weird Beasts are Wildivore and Marder Wolf. The Guardian expected one of the superior species to be a monster.

"Haah, it was tough."

Looks like the river is back. Kawai touched the control stone and chose from the skill list the option of acquiring one skill of his choice without skill points.

My chosen skill was "Five Thunderclaps". It is a skill that High School Explorers said they wanted.

This skill is not just electric slapping, it is one of the secret arts taught by Taoists, and it seems to be a mystical martial arts.

I was also envious when I felt that the rivers had acquired new skills and increased their power.

Maybe I'll get a new skill, too.

Elena leaned her neck and asked.

"What skills do you acquire?

"With Qigong related skills, there are" Lightweight Qigong "and" Hard Qigong ".

"Can you do lightweight work running on the water or flying in space?

Elena asked with her knowledge of Chinese films.

"Probably not. I think it's a skill that speeds up."

Misaki showed interest.

"It's still getting faster. It's not coming out of the human frame."

"You're exaggerating. Just speed up while you're using your skills."

"Well, that's fine. I'm more curious than that, is your body okay?

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"Humans are fragile creatures, so if you use your body severely, you'll have fatigue fractures."

"I wonder if it's the influence of Qigong. I feel stronger than before."

"I see, I was worried that a Explorer with the skills of 'Speed Boost' had a fatigue fracture."

The river looked surprised.

"Lying, I was going to get a Speed Boost and a Strength Boost...."

"You'll be fine if you take a good rest, train, and fight."

Misaki glanced at me.

"What is it?

"Kojiro, you used to have pimples on your face. Why not now?

I didn't notice it myself, but it's gone. Besides, I feel that my skin has become clean.

"... maybe the skill of 'Tian Xiao' is influencing it."

Elena and Misaki said they wanted to learn about Qigong. I don't want to get stronger, but to keep my skin clean, I think I want "small peripheral sky".

We returned to Higashigami Town. In the log house room, I acquired the skills of "Lightweight" and "Hard Qigong". When I acquired "Xiaozhou Tian", I felt a lot of pain, but this time my whole body got hot and itchy.

"Lightweight Gong" was a technique that could also be called the ultimate body technique using Qigong. It is said that mastering this will make it possible to run up the cliff and run on the water.

"Hard Qigong" seems to be a technique that moves with special attention on the surface of the body. As the skill level rises, it seems that "Strong Body", "Rigid Body" and "Rigid Body" become tougher.

Incidentally, from the height of the third floor in the state of "strong body", it becomes so sturdy that even if it falls to the ground without reception, it will not be injured.

I started my lesson using the skills of "Lightweight Gong" and "Hard Qigong". Although the skill level of "Xiaozhou Tian" may have a high influence, both skill levels gradually increased, and in a dozen days, "Lightweight Gong" became 4 and "Hard Qigong" became 3.

Around that time, rumors came from Higashishitamachi. It seems Fujibayashi defeated the Guardian in two territories. Perhaps the individual level is higher in the vineyards.

"Now it's me. I want to target the Guardian of the Strange Beast District."

I told Elena and Misaki nodded.

Fine, but we'll have to investigate carefully.

"I know."
