Chapter 61
Jin vs Note 3
Translator: Masakibluei
In the beginning, I was thinking to retort back at him . However, since I got to know his hidden card, I put those thoughts aside . Ultimately, we are talking about Jin here . To put it differently, it’s not strange at all for Jin to have one or two hidden cards under his sleeve .
Note: “Speaking of which, Neme-onesan . Can you please cast some recovery spell on me? “
Activating <<Fake Shadow>> causes my joints and muscles to scream in pain . I thought it would be okay if I used it for a short time, but apparently it is not okay at all .
<<Fake Shadow>> is a powerful art . Hence, this art is too much to handle with my untrained body . Once I deactivate the art, I will be attacked with an incredible amount of pain, to the point that it’s hard for me to move my body . With this kind of condition, it’s difficult to active <<Fake Shadow>> when I am alone .
If I use it for a long period of time like on my last battle on the 20th floor, I won’t be able to move at all and even lose all my control of my body . This weakness can be fatal when I am in the middle of a battle . I’m not as good as Jin yet .
Neme: “E……Yes!!”
Perhaps she does not think that I was talking to her . Therefore, Neme jolted when I called for her . After that, while saying, “Ei!”, Neme grandly swings her staff . Straightaway afterward, my whole body is being enveloped in turquoise colored lights .
Jin: “Did you get hurt somewhere?”
After he judges that my joints are all in pain, he asks for my condition .
Note: “Actually, I did not get hurt . This is the side effect of the arts . “
Jin: “So that’s how it is . Oh yeah, I was really surprised . I didn’t expect that you would be able to use <<Fake Shadow>>,
Note: “The reaction is still slower comparing to yours, and the side effects are still too much for my body . I still haven’t mastered it yet . “
Jin: “I don’t think so . It’s pretty good that you are able to master it this far . If you keep practicing it continuously, you will master it soon . You might be even faster than me . ”
Note: “That’s impossible……”
Jin: “You think so?”
Jin puts his dagger back inside the sheath and offers his hand out to me . I grab his hand and raise my body to stand up .
Jin: “Seeing you like this, it seems that it would be good for Note-kun to start learning on attacking arts . “
Note: “Attacking arts……”
After hearing those words, my heart starts to feel really hot .
Finally . Finally, I have been recognized and reached this stage .
It’s been nearly a year since I joined the Arrivers . The first time I joined this party, I was only told to learn supporting arts such as << Search Enemy>> or <<Trap Detection>> . However, from that on, the desire to learn attacking arts has been buried in me . My wish has finally come true now .
An essential ornament for an adventurer . Arts that are used mainly for combat . This is what you call attacking art . If a person does not have any single attacking art under his sleeve, no matter how many other arts he has mastered, he cannot ever call himself as a full-fledged adventurer .
Finally, I am able to raise myself from a half scale adventurer to a full fledge adventurer . Although I shouldn’t be satisfied yet with this kind of achievement, as expected a happy thing is still a thing to be happy for .
Note: “Thank you very much! I will be in your care, Jin-san!”
Jin: “Well, but I’m not the one who will teach you……”
Note: “Eh!?”
I raise my voice due to the unexpected answer . Because Jin does not give me a full explanation, my mouth is wide open .
Jin: “To sum it up, Note-kun’s fighting style is a thief . Rather than learning attacking arts of an assassin like me, I want you to learn attacking arts of a thief . Although the arts that can be used for these two occupations are quite similar, there are also some differences in here or there . “
Note: “Does that mean that I have to learn these arts not from Jin, but from other person who is a thief?”
Jin: “Yes . I have been talking to people about a famous thief in this town in your stead, so you do not need to worry about searching for a teacher to teach you . “
Note: “Who is it, this person? Do I know him?”
Jin: “It’s a girl called Reese . Do you know her? She is a girl who belongs to Valkyrie (The Revenge of Battle Maiden) party . “
Note: “Do you know her, Neme-onesan?”
Neme: “Of course! I know that Valkyrie is a famous group! This much I do know!”
Even I know that the group is famous . However, I do not know any person who belongs to that group . It’s been a while since I came to Purith town, but I am not completely aware of the circumstances or rumors in this town . For the most part, I have been only paying attention to improving myself that I have no leeway to look around .
Note: “Then, do you know the person?”
Neme: “I don’t know because I never met nor talk to her! Neme is not good at speaking with a person who Neme meet for the first time!”
While raising her fist upon the air, she makes a triumphant look . Seeing her like this, I feel stumped . Oh yeah, I have forgotten……Neme is shy with strangers .
Jin: “Please rest assured, she is not a weird person . At least, compared to the rest of the members of the Arrivers, she has more common sense . “
Note: “I see……”
When I turn my eyes on Neme, who is on the top rank of weirdo in the Arrivers, our eyes meet with each other .
Note: “Why are looking at me?”
Neme: “It’s nothing . ”
However, her facial expression does not match what she says . It’s definitely not nothing at all………Am I also a weirdo too……? At least I’m confident that I am more normal than Neme…………
Note: “Well, if Jin-san said so, I’m relieved . To be honest, I want Jin to teach me personally . “
Jin: “Sorry . But I’m not an expert in Thief arts . I think Reese will be a better teacher for you . ”
Note: “I understand . By the way, why won’t you teach me the assassin arts? You said that the assassin arts and thief arts are quite similar……”
Jin: “In the first place, assassin arts are techniques to kill people . It’s often unsuitable to use it against the monsters . And such, these arts can only be learned through a life threatening situation . You cannot improve it by only getting into a fight or battle . Only by killing people or nearly being killed that you are able to improve your mastery for the assassin arts . Compare to the thief arts, it’s harder to learn . ”
Note: “But, Jin is really good at assassin arts . Then there would be some exceptions, right?”
Jin: “There might be some exception . But unfortunately, I do not belong to that exception . ”
The words that I said without thinking are immediately being denied by Jin . When Jin retorts me, he does not wear any single smile . He is being completely serious . In the first place, Jin is not the type of person who likes to joke around .
Note: “The, then……”
Without caring for my overwhelming shock, Jin indifferently continues .
Jin: “The reason why I become the best assassin is because I have killed a lot of people more than anyone else . I’m not a good person as you think . If someone calls me the worst villain in the city, I won’t deny it . ”
Because I cannot find any words to say to him, I remind silent . I cannot imagine Jin killing people in my mind and that’s not the Jin that I know neither . The Jin that I know is a gentle and reliable member of the Arrivers .
At this moment, I come to realize that I do not know anything about the party members at all . Not only Jin, I do not know anything about Force, Neme or Rosalia . Except for Erin, I do not know what they did in the past or how they ended up in this town . While I feel astonished about this fact, I also feel slightly lonely .
