Chapter 36: A Long Awaited New Skill and Usage

Since we didn't have any quests to do for the morning, I was standing in front of Media's house with my grimoire open.

I was currently confirming today's login bonus.

「Ah, it came, see, it's another hard to use one. 【Improve Penetration】what is this? I don't need anymore firepower upgrades……!!」

Just as I expected.

It's good that I learned the specifications of curse from Erigos

「W-Well, you know since it's a skill, depending on how it's applied, won't it be useful?」

「So I have to first figure out a way to use it」

It would be nice if something I could normally use would sometimes come out.

Just like this time, it's always been stuff like this.

「I-It will be alright, first off, this should be quite powerful」

「I'm worried because it's powerful」

And even though I know that, it's still the skill I received. It's a waste to let it rot away by not using it, but it's also dangerous.

「That's why, Media, lend me your wisdom――!」

I heard some noise coming from the tent and Media slowly came out from inside.

「Since you came to my house when it's still early morning asking for help, it must be for that reason correct?」

「You said to contact you in advance, so I came to your house in advance」

「That's not really contacting……well, whatever. So the skill you obtained enhances penetration right?」

「Yeah, is it strong?」

「To put it literally the penetrating ability of your magic will rise. So if we're talking about strength, it's strong. Although with magic enhancement skills there is a demerit as they can be quite difficult to master」

So it's a difficult to master skill. Since I was able to obtain it through the bonus, when I think about it I'm rather grateful for being able to obtain it so easily. But…

「And……because the enemy's body won't be able to stop the magic, if you use this in a melee combat situation there is a possibility of taking out your own allies」

「Ah, yes, of course it's one of those kind of skills!」

Just like I thought, it's a scary one.

But using that when fighting in a party is as expected quite dangerous.

「Why do you always learn skills that could end up obliterating all your own allies? No, it’s actually quite a good choice as a strategic grade magician going out for war」

「It wasn't my choice」

Rather I just want to live peacefully.

Nevertheless, somehow my luck has been customized for a war-style.

「Or actually, is this really based on luck? It's not something that's mixed with your intentions, right Soulas?」

「T-That's something I'm certain of it's not my faultー」

I looked towards Soulas and she was shaking her head at full speed.

So in other words, it really is just due to bad luck.

「If you think carefully about how to use it, the skill shouldn't get too out of hand correct? Do you want to test it within my barrier?」
