Chapter Hundreds Of Skills!
.

"Is it possible to show me your Skill Library?" I wondered.
"Ah, yes… Here… Soul Book Summon." Said Fiere, as she suddenly summoned a semi-transparent book out of nowhere. She was allowing me to see it. Usually these things don"t show up to anybody. It seems that by chanting that, it is possible to show other people your Status directly.
However, Fiere didn"t wanted to show me her Status and only her Skill Library. She was a bit embarra.s.sed it seems, but she showed me everything in there. Her Job Cla.s.s was [Blazing Witch] and her Subcla.s.s was [Hunter] so she had a variety of Skills including Fire-Attribute Magic, Mana Manipulation, and also the usage of bows and knives as a hunter, alongside other technical skills as well. It was an overall very interesting Library, but it was not near as ma.s.sive as mien. In fact she had less than 15 Skills available, while I had hundreds. It seems she had learned around 6 Skills from here so she could had originally have 21, but that was still small compared to my own Skill Library.
The weirdest thing is that I lack a Job Cla.s.s and a Subcla.s.s, yet I have all these Skills which are obviously all from my previous life. I guess due to my potential? Or maybe my own mind knowing them… well, whatever was the case, Fiere seemed rather proud of her Skill Library.
"I originally had 21 Skills in my Skill Library!" Said Fiere. "It is considered super rare to have over 20 Skills available… So I was considered a prodigy even without being part of any n.o.ble house."
"I see… This is my Skill Library…" I said, summoning a floating invisible grimoire and showing the pages to Fiere.
"Hm, let"s see… Oh, I see… Silk Thread Production? That"s interesting, I guess it must be because you"re a Caterpillar! And then… Aha… Uhuh… Eh… Eeeehh… AAAAHH… W-WHA… H-HUNDREDS… HUNDREDS OF SKILLS?!" She cried, quickly changing her mind from "As I expected" to utter shock.
"Those are only two pages…" I said, as I flipped the pages of the Soul Book, showing more and more pages filled with Skills after Skills, Fiere began to grow paler and even a bit blue, falling into her knees in surprise and horror.
"T-This is… incredible… This is the first time I"ve seen anybody have hundreds… no, are those thousands of Skills in a Skill Library?!" She asked in shock. "H-How is this possible?!"
"I"ve told everybody that I used to be a G.o.ddess of Chaos in my previous life, n.o.body believed me and treat me like a clown! Do you believe me now?" I asked.
"T-This is… I guess it"s the only insane explanation that could explain something equally as insane as your Skill Library, Kireina-sama…" Said Fiere. "But the most surprising thing is that you lack a Subcla.s.s and Cla.s.s…"
"Yeah, do you know how I can get one?" I wondered.
"I-I have no idea… Everybody is born with one. Those that lack one are simply… shafted as Cla.s.sless. These people are discriminated as failures that cannot learn many Skills other than the very basic things… To think you can do this much even without any…" She said.
"Ugh what a pain… Hey Soul Book, can I get any Cla.s.s and Subcla.s.s?" I wondered. The Soul book was often attentive of things or desires, such as the time it gave me the Appraisal Skill. Hopelessly hoping for the Soul Book to answer me, nothing happened…
Ugh, I should had guessed it-
Ding!
[The Skill [Cla.s.s Selection: Lv1] and [Subcla.s.s Selection: Lv1] can be bought for 100 Skill Points each]
[Skill Points are insufficient to buy both, do you desire to buy one of the two?]
W-Wait, hold on in a minute, is that a Skill that can let me change Cla.s.ses and Subcla.s.ses? That"s dope! But… the cost is insane. And I want to prioritize getting a few other Skills firsts, so I guess I"ll pa.s.s for now. I quickly selected and the thingy disappeared. But now that I know I could buy such Skills, I was a bit more excited about the future.
"It seems I can buy the [Cla.s.s Selection: Lv1] and [Subcla.s.s Selection: Lv1] Skills to get my Cla.s.s and Subcla.s.ses, but they"re pretty costly at 100 Skill Points each. I guess I can buy them later."
"E-Eeeeh? Y-You… have available such legendary Skills?! They"re said that anybody that could get them would become someone capable of literally doing anything!" Said Fiere, once more freaking out.
"Calm down now… Sigh. I guess I"ve learned what I needed from you, you may go for now." I said, as Fiere sighed in relief and nodded.
"Thanks, I"ll be on my way… Please make sure to pick Skills carefully!" She said, walking away.
Yeah, yeah, I know. I want a single Skill for now from the many I have available. With this I won"t need the White Dragon to conjure [Float] on me all the time, and I can also use it to lift up my Weapons so they can fly around. And that Skill is…!
Ding!
[You have exchanged 30 Skill Points]
[You have learned the [Telekinesis: Lv1] Skill!]
Telekinesis! Yes! With this Skill I can freely manipulate objects through mind power. I can make things float easily and also make myself float too! With it, the potential of what I can achieve has been suddenly increased quite a nice lot. It was a rare Skill so it ended costing a lot of Skill Points, thirty in fact. Are Telekinesis users in this world very rare, I wonder?
Well, amongst the Skills that are unattainable in my Library there were things such as [Cursed Claws of Demise: Lv1] which was like thousands of Skill Points, and even things such as [Abyssal Chaotic Demon Transformation: Lv1] as well, so there are some cla.s.sics and oldies in there… Especially [Overpowering Sun: Lv1] which cost a whopping 7000 Skill Points. I don"t know if I will ever be able to acquire these Skills any soon, unless I begin to level up like crazy, I would need approximately 70 levels worth of Skill points to learn Overpowering Sun… Ugh.
However, there was something Fiere told me before leaving. Apparently, as a person grows stronger, Skills available in the Skill Library grow cheaper in price. Maybe if I practice enough Fire Magic and become stronger with it, Overpowering Sun might become cheaper?
Flas.h.!.+
And then, another small Fireball was conjured from my magic practice multi-tasking. A refres.h.i.+ng dinging sound quickly resonated through my mind at the same time as I had those thoughts.
Ding!
[Skill Proficiency Level has reached the desirable amount]
[You have learned the [Fireball: Lv1] Skill]
Oho! There it is!
