Chapter 21: The Supervisor and the New Path
Chapter 20: The Time I was Connected with the Princess
Extra Scene: Me, Kirika and Uniforms
「If I am not mistaken……Aren’t you, the “Supervisor”? 」
It is impossible to forget.
I who had died during a bus accident on my school excursion, met with a “being” who explained the details of my transmigration to this new world, this being was akin to G.o.d (or something similar to it)
「Oh my? you seem to remember coming. “This place” those who do not forget about this place are exceedingly rare, oh well, it doesn’t matter」
Oi, Oi, Oi, Wait a minute. Why am I here again? In this place?! Confusion and doubt soars through my mind.
Are you telling me I died from having s.e.x with the Princess?!…………No, no that can’t be.
Or is it that he finally thought it was a mistake to hand me over the Slavemancer Job Cla.s.s and has come to revoke his offer?………Don’t joke around with me?! Oi!
「Errr, I think you might be misunderstanding something. Your level as a Slavemancer has reached a certain threshold………and I called you out here to give you a “supplementary explanation”」
An additional explanation…….because I leveled up?
「Yes, Because it was such an unusual case, when a job cla.s.s as special as yours is acquired this kind of thing can occur. Ah, by the way, time in your world has not advanced even for a second so please rest a.s.sured」
If this is so, you should of explained it from the beginning…….For the time being I settled down my emotions.
However, because I was finally able to think clearly a new problem became apparent.
「Hang on a second, that’s strange. My level, why would it suddenly rise up at this point in time? 」
I didn’t really use my Enslavement Magic unto Princess Sistina, so how could it increase in level? It just doesn’t make any sense.
「Allow me to explain it sequentially. First of all, a large amount of bonus experience points were given out to you because you succeeded in obtaining dominion over three rare job cla.s.ses, these include: 【Princess Knight】【Aristocrat Demoness】and 【Princess of Prophecy】」
Kirika, Palmyra and Princess Sistina.
If I remember correctly, when I managed to subjugate the former two people, I obtained huge amounts of experience points.
It would seem that when a certain threshold is reached, an extraordinary bonus is given out…………I suppose it is like getting an achievement in a game and unlocking some sort of a bonus.
「I see, alright I can understand that part. However, why would the Princess of Prophecy be included in the bonus when I haven’t even casted my Enslavement Magic on her? 」
「That is a very simple matter. That person holds you in adoration and devotion, dependence…….or possibly, she has given her life over to you, and has sworn allegiance in some manner. It doesn’t really matter whether you used an ability or not, the term “Domination” is about whether it occurs in reality, that is one of the perks you obtain from being the Slavemancer」
Indeed, the Princess has already become mine. She herself has already declared that fact from the bottom of her own heart.
Perhaps in a certain meaning, making someone completely submit to your will without the use of magic is significantly more difficult. Therefore the difficulty of achieving such a feat is added to the amount of bonus points I acquired.
「No matter the means, anything can be used to rule over others. That is the true essence of being a Slavemancer」
「I understand…….It would have been better if you told me something like this from the start」
「I am sorry, I was only allowed by regulations to give you the minimum amount of information……」
As usual, even though he’s supposed to be transcendent, for some reason he is still bound by the laws of his bureaucracy.
「Well in that case, May I ask you this?………..In the future, if I am able to use my Enslavement Magic on people with rare job cla.s.ses, or by other means, to take “control” of them, at that point in time, will I once again be able to expect a drastic level up?」
「Yes, it would reasonable for you to think such things」
The first bonus is acquired when I obtained 3 people, does this mean that the next achievement will be obtained when I have 5 people?
It seems, that he will not be telling me the exact number of people I need, but in any case, this is extremely important information.
Placing a priority on people with Rare Jobs is the obvious choice, as it has a direct connection with being able to double the amount of benefits I obtain.
「One last thing, I will begin my explanation of the special privilege you will obtain along with this Level Up」
「Oh, there’s even this kind of thing on top?」
All things considered, both my job is good and my skills are good, this truly is a world with a game like logic.
Well even in my former world, perhaps it was just the fact that none of us realized that we had been ruled over by such a strange system.
「From here on out, you can choose yourself, how you will specialize your job from one of these two options」
【Path of Domination】: Along with the amount of people you will be able to subjugate under your rule, the strength of your Enslavement Magic will be increased, this area will be predominantly developed.
【Path of Strengthening】: You will be able to strengthen the abilities of those you rule over, this is an area which will focus on being able to transmit the maximum amount of magical force and share in that power.
The piece of paper in front of me had those two things written on it.
In short, is this some kind of a Job Cla.s.s advancement or specialization that I get to choose?
「The Path of Domination or the Path of Strengthening……」
If I choose the Path of Domination, I will be able to ama.s.s more Magical Slaves beyond the skill level restriction, furthermore the rate of cancelling the subjugation magic and the speed will all go up, it will also mean that I will be able to more easily penetrate through those with high magical resistance.
In the case of choosing Path of Strengthening, I will be able to drastically improve the power levels of my surrounding slaves, and potentially draw out their latent powers. Furthermore I will be able to manipulate their bodily conditions to my own desires which will translate into a gradual increase in their strength.
If I sum it up roughly, it is basically choosing between the quant.i.ty or quality of the slaves and which one I value more.
Naturally, the element that I do not choose to focus on, does not necessarily become obsolete or unable to be improved, this is more about specializing into a style.
They both have their merits and their demerits, this is an indescribably vexing choice to make.
「Well, Please be at ease and take your time to choose wisely. The moment you have chosen, I will send your soul back to your body」
「Alright, in that case……I will….」
「………And, after all that you are telling me you chose the【Path of Strengthening】? 」
Away from the Tower of Revelations, and on the way back to the Cavern Base.
Nina was the one driving the jolting wagon, and Kirika was sitting next to me confirming my choice.
「Yeah, It was a considerably hard choice to make」
By the way, it seems that Kirika has no recollection of the “Supervisor” and it took ages for me to explain what happened. The only one that seems to be able to remember clearly is me, am I that special?
「Fuun (exhale)…….May I ask you, for the reasoning behind that choice? 」
In the seat of the wagon facing towards me, the Princess was sleeping adorably exhaling out (Suu, Suu) sounds, in various different meanings she must have been really tired right?
Palmyra was leaning against Sistina’s body and was also sleeping with a (SupiSupi sfx for sleeping peacefully), they both seemed so blissful…..that fellow, I wonder if she recklessly used up too much magic and got exhausted?
The two girls were wrapped with completely different colored dresses, one was black and the other one was white, seeing them stuck together like this, I could feel a qualitative disparity between them. (TL: In more ways than just color of dresses
