LV999 Villager Chapter 11 part7

Pack (03/06)

NT: I don't know what to say know… so I'll just tell you that you are becoming my favorite readers. You do react to the Chapters, not like the chidls who read the Spanish version of the Chapters. They almost never say anything. They are not like you. They are bad childs. It's a shame that I can't give priority to you.

「Can I ask something? If what you say is true… does that mean that we are also one of those Evolved Humans you were talking about? Like these Mutants and New Humans?」

Asked Takako to Cruz as she put her hand on Palna's shoulder, who was silent in frustration. In response to Takako's question, Cruz smiled as he nodded slightly, indicating that she was correct.

Takako had already accepted her situation. Although now she knew that she had lived in a fake world that really did not exist in reality, that did not change the situation in which they were. The most important thing now was to understand what was happening and carefully plan what they would do next.

「You may have already noticed it, but the Roles you own represent the most optimal path for your evolution. Each Role has been granted after carefully analyzing your physical abilities, intelligence level and many other variables. Then, as you grow, it will determine how your status will change as your level increases. Let's see… what level are you in?」

Takako replied, 「245」, after Cruz asked her that question. Then, Cruz smiled and said, 「Splendid」, while clapping.

「But after knowing all about this Evolution… I wonder if it will really be useful. Especially me… I can't use Magic. Have there been other people who don't have anything else than a lot of strength besides me?」

「Yes, certainly, there have been many people who were at your level. But you're wrong about something」

「I'm wrong?」

「Yes, in the part about not being able to use magic. Anyone can use Magic, even if it is someone who has never had to depend on it. I mean… Magic is the power to produce phenomena making use of the magical power that is within our own bodies. Well… Before, this could have been confused with possessing some kind of super power, but actually, it is something that all humans possess. But of course, the residents of Earth Clear have evolved to be able to increase the amount of magical power they possess to the point where they can handle it freely」

Everyone felt bewildered after hearing his words. If what he said was true, then it was possible that now, after being taken to Earth, they might be able to do many things that they did not think they would be able to do before, even after leveling up until the highest level.

「Well, fundamentally, your bodies have not changed at all. But we have tools capable of matching the power that an evolved body would have… we have weapons. Of course, those who are able to demonstrate possessing an strength large enough to compare to the destructive power that a weapons have would be really impressive, however… these tools are not something that should be taken lightly」

「So… what do you expect from us? And why do you smile so much?」

「What do you think about… the Evolution? What is a Mutant? What is a New Human? What is a Transcendent?」

None of them could help but frown at the barrage of incomprehensible words that Cruz was saying. However, it seemed that Menou and Takako had managed to understand something when they murmured, 「… I see」, as they began to think.

The reason why Takako understood it was the irrelevance that seems to have in this world the role with which each person was born, and for Menou it was the fact that there seemed to be no beings with characteristics as particular as those of Alice and himself.

「To put it another way… Necessarily, all of us are able to use some kind of magic, although this usually seems more like some kind of special power. In other words, we own… Skills」

「Yes, that is correct. In the past, all those who fought in the front lines had a special powers. These were more powerful than weapons… and there were many different types. We might be able to use magic through the magical power that resides within our bodies, but it was not particularly special compared to the Skills. And most importantly, they didn't have just one Skill… No, they could possessed various special abilities and Skills」

After hearing that, Rex looked at his own body and asked Krull to attack him with some Wind Magic. Immediately afterwards, Krull produced a wind blast, very close to Rex, which would normally sent him flying away. However, Rex's body managed to remain firmly in the place where he was, without being affected by the shock wave of Krull's attack, thanks to the effect of his Skill, 『Super armor』

「Impressive… Is that the power of your Skills? All people possess completely different abilities. I don't know the type of skills you possess or how you acquired them, but it is possible to analyze them once you already have them. Earth Clear's System should have added a description of the effects of your Skills in your Status Window. Would you mind telling me what they are?」

「Before that, I would like you to answer something. If you need people with Skills, then… why can we only acquire Skills when we go up 100 levels? If what you said about that we must go through intense pain and suffering to evolve… and that the way we do it varies depending on each one… then, we would not necessarily have to level up to get some special ability, right? am I right?」

「What incredible reasoning, your name was Takako Builder, right? I am eager to see what you will achieve in the future. Yes, it is as you say, skills are not something that one obtains naturally」

「Then how?」

「The Skills are acquired through the injection of special genes, which we discover after analyzing the bodies of the New Humans, the Mutants and the Transcendents, which allow them to develop their own unique abilities. However, if these genes were injected into a normal person, they would suffer from a cell collapse. That's why the only ones who can receive these genes are those who possess powerful bodies」

After hearing that, Takako looked at her hand. Then, she began to open and close her fist until she murmured, 「I see」, then she punched the ground.

Immediately afterwards, there was a small explosion in Takako's fist. Then, she look at Cruz, who with a satisfied look, muttered, 「Exactly. A normal person would have lost its arm if it did something like that」.

Cruz couldn't help but start to sweat cold when he saw a powerful person with the Fighter Role using a skill he had never seen before, while muttering, 「I'm looking forward… to see how far you are able to go」.

「By the way, we inject the gene every time a person goes up 100 levels, as it is too strong for those who have a lower level, and they may not be able to support it. But well, I've never seen anyone with more than 3 skills, so I'm not really sure of what would happen if we continue to inject the gene 」

Everyone remembered Kagami the moment they heard those words. At that moment, everyone began to worry about the fact that Kagami had not been mentioned until now.

NT: As always, if you find something weird, whatever, just tell me in the comments
