CHAPTER 17: DID THE SIBLINGS GET SKILLS, OR NOT?

　We quickly get dressed before we talk and gather at the table since it’s still early for lunch.

“So what will we talk about?” (Kei)

　Haru also brought a pen and paper for some reason, so we started talking.

“First of all, about me. The first thing I want to say is that I have acquired a certain skill in the battle against the Minotaur. The name is [Analysis].” (Haru)

“Oh, that’s good. So, the trigger for getting the skill is the metal cards?” (Kei)

“Looks like it. It was from the gold one. Then I tried to apply the [Analysis] skill to myself. Then I saw my status.” (Haru)

“Oh, what was it like?” (Kei)

　She was able to see the levels that we couldn’t see no matter how much we wanted to see. How can she not be happy?

“Well, I have to tell you the status, but I found out something more.” (Haru)

“What?” (Kei)

　I have no idea what it is. Is there something wrong with your status? No, she would have told me sooner.

“That metal card was not a rare item that gave you skills or magic, it was a card that allowed you to learn skills or magic the moment it disappeared from your hand.” (Haru)

“What?” (Kei)

　I am stunned by Haru’s words that I had never could’ve imagined. If we can get a skill with those cards, the number cards we used as it is. I’m sure 6 of the 7 cards haven’t given me any skills.

“Hey, Brother. We used those cards to learn magic and skills, but we just couldn’t use it because we didn’t know what we learned.” (Haru)

“Then does Haru know what skills you can use?” (Kei)

　If what Haru just said is true, then Haru shouldn’t be able to know about the effects of the card either.

“When you turn a card into mist, you have to wonder what it is. Then, while it disappeared, a letter came to my mind for a moment. It was just a moment, so I could only read it halfway, but I understood. So I will just write it on paper.” (Haru)

[Analysis] skill card (used)

　You are able to learn the skill [Analysis]. Appraisal system…

“It was like this. I think I analyzed it during the time lag between learning the skill and the card becoming mist. If so, I wonder what the trigger is. Even if I say analysis normally it may be enough.” (Haru)

“So, the skill can only be used in the dungeon, so you want to go check it out?” (Kei)

“I thought so, but it seems that this skill can be used here as well. I analyzed myself earlier. I need his permission to analyze my brother, so I haven’t done it yet.” (Haru)

“Huh, what is Haru’s status?” (Kei)

“The skill cards I’ve used so far are 8 in total, including those dropped from small fries in the 6th to 14th levels, and there are 10 skills and magic in total, so it is like this.” (Haru)

　Name: Haruka

　Skill: Magic / Craft

　Magic Attribute: Explosion, (Electric), (Collapse)

　Level: 44

　Strength: 51

　Magic Amount: 102

　Skill: Analysis

　Magic: Bomb, Time Bomb, Impact, Number, (Plasma), (Fissure)

　Passive: Magic Recovery / Detection / Crafting

“Oh, it’s more detailed than I thought.” (Haru)

“Yeah. It’s natural, but in reality, there is no HP.” (Haru)

“No matter how high your HP is, you’ll die if your head is cut-off. When it comes to strength, it may be physical strength, since there is no other status, so it’s probably the pure strength of your body.” (Kei)

“So, I don’t know muscle strength or speed based on the status. I tried it on my way home, but the result of the analysis is just this, I can not use the analysis twice in a row, but you can use analysis on the analysis skill you have in your head.” (Haru)

[Analysis]

　Type: Skill

　Cooldown Time: 1m

　You can view a limited number of traits of objects and people that are closely related to the dungeon.

“That’s why come on, Brother. Allow me to see your status.” (Haru)

“Got it.” (Kei)

　Allow Hull to view status. I felt like something was being pulled out of me.

“Okay. Hey. I’ll write it on paper now, so please wait.”

　Name: Touka

　Skill: Enchant/ Alchemy

　Magic Attribute: None (Curse)

　Level: 45

　Strength: 57

　Magic Amount: 93

　Skill: Stealth

　Magic: Speed, Power, Guard, Bind, Chain

“It’s kind of normal, isn’t it.” (Kei)

“That’s right. Like me, it’s like a magician.” (Haru)

“Well, we’re not going into the dungeon today anyway, so let’s just relax.” (Kei)

　We can’t help but think about it now, so we start cooking lunch for now.

　Since we had decided not to go into the dungeon after we found out that we had skills, we stayed in our own home, but I had Haru use the analysis quite a few times as verification that we could do it at home.

　I found out a lot of things that I had been wondering about.

　The first is the obsidian-like stone. The result of the analysis was “Magic Stone… a Dungeon Fragment”, but we couldn’t understand it.

　Next, is the jar that can be filled by a lot, “Jar of Space… By warping the space, it can store up to a mass of five tons.”

　And finally, with the rings that summon weapons, “Touka’s Treasure Tool 1… A trump card that can only be used by Touka (can be used: level x 10 seconds) Cooldown time 24hrs.”

　By the way, Haru’s ring is “Haruka’s Treasure Tool 1… A trump card that can only be used by Haruka (can be used: level x 10 seconds) Cooldown time 24hrs.”

　The ring turned out to be based on the owner’s name. And no one other than the owner can use it.

　And the rest is status-related. My impression was that it was pretty normal. The descriptions of the magic and skills were just what you would expect from the name. We did not know the power, range, and duration. However, it can be said that it is fortunate that the required magical power is known.

　As a result of investigating, it seems that magic requires magical power to use, and although the skill can be used many times, there is a cooldown time. And these cannot be used outside the dungeon, with some exceptions.

　Furthermore, [Passive] is a skill that is always activated, and it seems to be in effect even outside the dungeon. With that in mind, there seems to be no passive for automatic parrying.

　And finally, the class we didn’t choose in the beginning. I don’t know if I should say skills, but Craft and Alchemy. Analyzing the skills that were included in [Passive].

“Crafting … can process and disassemble dungeon items.”

“Alchemy… can extract and convert dungeon items.”

　I don’t get it. I don’t understand what that means at all. I’ve always been able to process dungeon items. I’d like to say, but Haru found out something strange.

　The cards made by processing Boar Tusks could not be analyzed. Of course, the boar’s tusks could be analyzed, so there was no problem with the item. The result was [Low-grade Boar’s Tusk].

　According to Haru’s idea, analysis can analyze things that are closely related to the dungeon, so it may not be able to judge things that are processed by one’s own hands even if closely related to dungeons. That was what she thought.

　If that’s the case, then if you have the skill to process, you can do so without severing your relationship with the dungeon. Well, I don’t know what the point of that is. And I’m not sure about alchemy.

　Well, I spent yesterday researching such things, and today I’m going to actually use it. My main weapon is a machete. However, it’s not the one that can cut and stab that I used before, but a machete that was lying in the warehouse just for smashing. It was difficult to use, but it couldn’t be helped. Haru, by the way, used her usual machete and iron pipe.

　For now, we moved to the back of the 10th layer boss and hunted monsters. Since we were going to be examining magic, I watched Hal, who had been enchanted by me, hitting the monsters with the pipe and destroying them with magic.

　Sometimes I use [Bind] to stop the enemy movement. Haru’s magic power couldn’t use [Plasma] and [Fissure], but the newly acquired [Impact] was strong.

　If there are several enemies, they will be blown away in an instant. When she used [Impact] with [Chain] about thirty monsters that were lured due to the sound were wiped out with just one shot. Even though she had transmitted the explosion, it was gross to see the monsters that escaped the explosion explode from the inside because of the power of the spell.

　And so the experiments with new skills and magic were over, and we returned to the tenth layer to enter the boss room. The last experiment of the day was to test the trump card. It takes 10 seconds per level, so we have about 500 seconds to use it. And since it takes a day to cool down, we thought it should be strong.

“Then, I’ll test mine first, so leave it to me.” (Kei)

　When Haru and I entered the boss’s room, I stood in front of the black wolf, and I was the only one who passed the magic power through the ring to bring out the scythe.

“Here I go. [Speed] [Power] [Guard] [Chain] [Bind].” (Kei)

　Only [Bind] appeared a little later, and at the same time, I plunged headfirst into it. A small number of thorns pop out from the magic circle created on the ground from the effect of [Bind], stopping the movement of the Black Wolf for a moment. However, from my improved status, a moment was enough.

“Sei!” (Kei)

　Swinging the scythe with a shout splits the Black Wolf’s neck in half, and the chain effect minces the whole body.

“It’s an overkill. Oh, the power is terrible.” (Kei)

“Hey, you’re overdoing it. I’m next, we’re leaving the boss room.” (Haru)

　After Haru pushed me out of the room, we went back to the gate through the magic circle and entered the boss room again. The black wolf is glaring at us viciously. Haru summons her morning star.

“Go, [Impact] [Decaple]. Oh, no.” (Haru)

　Haru’s magic reached the Black Wolf in no time and it exploded. Haru returned to me as if nothing had happened.

“Hey, I used too much magical power. And this weapon seems to have its own magic circle. It’s more than double the power. It seems to be more effective than what I made.” (Haru)

“That sounds plausible. Well, we only have a few weapons on hand. So let’s go home today. I heard that the dungeon will be open in another week. Let’s take our time using crafting and alchemy until then.” (Kei)

“That’s right. Sometimes we should take a break.” (Haru)

“Then, do you want to go home?” (Kei)

　Even if they get stronger, their feelings did not change and they only move for entertainment. And Japan’s strongest reached the top without anyone knowing, but even the people themselves were unaware.
