　――――――――――――――――――

　・Physical strengthening Lv１　――　Consume 3 points to obtain.

　・Analysis Lv１　――　Consume 3 points to obtain.

　・Appraisal Lv１　――　Consume 3 points to obtain.

　――――――――――――――――――

(……Hmm?　Not as many as I expected.)

　That was the honest impression that came to Akira’s mind.

(The skills that can be acquired are Physical Strengthening, Analysis, and Appraisal, huh……? What’s the difference between Analysis and Appraisal?)

　In a broad sense, both would seem to be the same thing.

(Hmmー…… In games and such, 『Analysis』 was a skill used to look at a person’s information in detail. Would this be the same thing?　I think 『Appraisal』 has a pretty wide range of uses in online novels and the like…… Or rather, can’t I see the details of the skill in this one?　I’m pretty sure that before if I touched the skill text, I’d get some sort of detail screen.)

　Akira reached out to the skill 『Analysis』 to try it out.

　――――――――――――――――――

　Analysis Lv１

　・Active skill.

　・Effective only against living organisms. It is possible to visualize detailed information about the organisms. The information that can be visualized depends on the skill level.

　――――――――――――――――――

“Oh, thank god. It did come out.”

　Akira let out a breath of relief, as he feared that if he had done something wrong, he would have been in danger of it just being confirmed without question.

　Then, quickly changing his mind, Akira turned his attention to the words on the screen.

(……I see. Is Analysis a skill that can be used only for living things? If the information that can be visualized depends on the level, does that mean that the current level is not very useful?)

　Akira presses the 『N』 of choice to close the skill details.

　He then went back to the previous screen, this time pressing 『Appraisal』 to display the details of the skill.

　――――――――――――――――――

　Appraisal Lv１

　・Active skill.

　・Effective only against non-living organisms. It is possible to visualize detailed information about non-living organisms. The information that can be visualized depends on the skill level.

　Do you want to acquire Appraisal Lv１?　　Ｙ/Ｎ

　――――――――――――――――――

“Other than living creatures.”

　This meant that the Appraisal skill could only be used on inorganic materials such as water, air, and minerals.

(……Then I guess 『Analysis』 is the one that could be used in the current situation.)

　If one could examine the water, one would know if it was suitable for drinking, but Akira had plenty of water that he had bought up by visiting convenience stores and late-night stores. It was the same with the air. Unless someone uses poison gas in the future, nobody will ever think to check if the air here was safe.

“It’s not every day you get a chance to examine a mineral or something like that.”

　As he said it, Akira displayed the details, wondering what kind of skill physical strengthening was.

　――――――――――――――――――

　Physical strengthening Lv１

　・Passive Skill

　・Increases Strength, Speed, and Endurance. The value of the enhancement depends on the level.

　――――――――――――――――――

“This one is a skill that purely increases your basic stats.”

　Simple, yet powerful.

　The higher Endurance meant that it would be that much harder to die, and the higher Strength value might make it easier to kill goblins than ever before. Speed would make it easier to perform and avoid attacks. Considering that monsters other than goblins will also be present, it would seem essential to increase basic stats in order to protect oneself.

(……But it says the enhanced value is level-dependent, and I’m afraid I don’t know how much it would be enhanced at level 1.)

　The contents of the skill were attractive.

　However, because of its attractiveness, Akira was worried about what if the value enhanced by this was underwhelming.

(If I get this skill and the status value enhanced by physical strengthening Lv1 is +1 each, it’s really meaningless……)

　If so, it would be better to acquire a skill like Analysis.
