Scarlet

Oh. Wow. Two legendary skills, and two epics as well.

Wait, it is just two right?

I focus on the ellipses.

Yep. Two epics.

Although I can’t help but feel a tad disappointed about the lack of any mythical skill…

“I’ll eat my tail if you ever got a mythical skill,” Tar says with a scoff, making me glance at him. “There are only about ten or so people in all of existence who have them. And those are the strongest humans and demons, such as the Demon Lords and the Demon King, and the five Knights of the human world.”

My mouth drops open in shock.

They’re that rare?!

Holy shit!

The five Knights… the five most powerful Guardians on Earth. Each named after a color corresponding to their magic. Black, White, Red, Blue, and Purple.

Actually, have you ever met one of the Knights?

“Yes, as a matter of fact,” Tar says, looking slightly smug for some reason. Which has me raising an eyebrow. “I met Blue a very long time ago.”

Blue? The Aqua Knight? Wasn’t that guy known for using some sort of shapeshifting magic that could turn him into a giant kraken from ancient Earth’s mythology?

I think the guy was also kind of messed up in the head compared to the other Knights.

Anyways, I kind of want to get a mythical skill now for no other reason than to make Tar eat his tail.

I give a firm nod of my head at that thought before focusing on the skills store again.

Ignoring the suspicious frown the tanuki is sending my way, I sit up on my bed and ask out loud, “Any suggestions for skills? I’m thinking that I should spend the SP to get Blood Regeneration and then save the rest to get Predator V.”

The tanuki continues staring at me for a few seconds before sighing and answering, “Sounds like a good plan. The thing you need the most right now is a better healing power, and a legendary healing skill – especially a natural regeneration one – would probably be the best fit for you.”

Thought so. But what does Achievement-Locked mean?

“You can treat those as inherent skills that you have to purchase first,” Tar says, finally taking his gaze away from me as he lands in my lap and curls up. “They are basically just inherent skills locked to a certain species that you have to have certain achievements to purchase and have as an inherent skill. So after you buy it, it’ll be just like any other inherent skill in that you can’t level it with SP.”

Oh. Interesting.

Wait, does that mean I’ll have to get hurt to level this skill?

“You get hurt more often than I’d like, so I doubt that’ll be a problem,” Tar says offhandedly, making me glare at him.

Not like that’s my fault… actually, never mind. Some of it might be.

Tar snorts at my thoughts.

Aaaanyyyways, I quickly purchase the Blood Regeneration skill. And as soon as I do, I feel a warm sensation passing through my body just like when I got predator. Which does confirm my thoughts on how it only happens when you get a passive skill.

Now I just need another ten Skill Points before I can afford Predator V.

Which also makes me wonder just what the requirements for getting Predator VI might be.

“Probably killing a being over two hundred and fifty levels above you,” Tar answers offhandedly, making me do a double take towards him. “Wouldn’t be surprised if there were other requirements too. So I doubt anyone will ever get that skill.”

I stare at the tanuki for several seconds.

That’s… a bit much.

Actually, something I was wondering. How does the System really determine the assistance of someone in a battle in regard to EXP and achievements?

Tar opens his eyes and glances at me before closing them again as he says, “That’s unknown. All we know is that the System just somehow knows and assigns EXP and achievements to those actually deserving of them. Meaning someone can’t just have someone else power leveling them through everything. Because the System is gonna penalize them rather heavily and won’t give them any achievements.”

Interesting. Guess the System really is fair in everything it does.

By the way, any idea who changed me?

Because the idea of someone else changing my clothes… just makes me feel uncomfortable.

“It was that woman you were terrified of,” Tar answers without opening his eyes.

Ugh. Although I guess if someone had to do it then I’d rather it be her.

The nightgown makes sense now too, considering how badly she’s tried over time to get me to dress more feminine. Which is ironic considering that she doesn’t exactly dress very feminine either.

I don’t think I’ve ever even seen her wear a skirt or a dress before. That’s more Belle’s line of fashion. And she isn’t much better about this than her mother. In fact, she’s worse since she sees me more often.

It’s rather annoying.

Also, I can’t help but shiver at the thought of Belle seeing my ears. Because I’m ninety percent certain that she is going to try touching them.

I get out of bed, letting the tanuki fall off my lap in the process before stretching a little and going over to get ready for the day. Then I can check out the cafeteria.

Because I’m hungry.
