After returning to Jorgen, we received our rewards at the guildâs reception desk in exchange for the certificate of achievement we received from the village chief. In addition, both of us were asked to raise our guild ranks as we had achieved the recommended C rank, and we left our plates with them. A few minutes later, I was given a blue plate, and Earlv was given a yellow plate.
âIt was easier than I thought it would be.â
With our first quest accomplished, we decided to have a celebration, and on the way to find a tavern that is open even in the daytime, Earlv smiles and tells me so.
âIt took me five years to get to F-rank, though. I didnât know one skill could make such a difference.â
I said as I too stared at my blue plate.
With [Peerless] and [Level Reset], C rank and even A rank might not be a dream.
We found a reasonable bar, went in, sat down at a table for two around the corner and ordered random things.
âThen, cheers!!â
âCheers?â
Earlv didnât seem to know how to make a toast, so I told her that this is how you clink your mug.
âI understand. Then, cheers!!â
âCheers!â
Again we slammed our mugs into each other.
âSo, have you come to a conclusion?â
When the food has been prepared to a certain extent, Earlv starts to say so.
One of the skills disappeared in Arni village.
By explaining the effects of Magic Boost to Earlv in detail, I was able to make her believe that I had really mastered it.
Then, during my return to Jorgen, I was desperately trying to figure out why it had disappeared, but I knew there was only one cause.
âItâs probably because [Level Reset].â
Due to the effects of the level reset, this was my final conclusion.
âI knew it.â
Earlv seemed to have had the same idea, and she looked down with a slightly dejected expression on her face as she sipped from her mug of juice. By the way, she doesnât seem to be able to drink alcohol, so sheâs keeping me company with juice.
âThen, what do you think about [Peerless]?â
She looks up and asks me about something she doesnât understand with.
Yup. If you think the level reset is the cause, then thatâs where the next inconsistency comes from.
[Magic Boost] is gone, but [Peerless] is not gone.
âI have a theory about that, too. Though it may be a forced one.â
I said, and with a look that said âlet me knowâ, Earlv urged me on without saying a word.
âMy rainbow skills will not reset.â
Itu adalah satu-satunya hal yang membedakannya.
That is the only thing that sets it apart.
A skill learned while emitting a rainbow-colored light that no one has ever seen. If this is the only one that doesnât reset, then it all makes sense.
âI canât deny that it feels forced.â
Earlv groaned with a complicated expression, half convinced, half wondering.
âI have my own proof.â
âWhat is it?â
âHypothetically. If the rainbow-colored skills also disappear due to the reset effect, donât you think it would be strange if the level reset itself also disappeared from the skill column?â
âAh!â
Earlv nodded.
âIn other words, itâs not just [Peerless] that hasnât disappeared, itâs the [Level Reset] itself. Thatâs where the answer comes from.â
âThe rainbow skill doesnât disappearâŠ? I see.â
Feels convinced, Earlv nodded.
âThen itâs just a matter of getting the rainbow skills to show up. Thatâs what Iâm going to work on next.â
âYes, it is. For example, if you get the next rainbow skill and it doesnât disappear, then itâs almost as if Roxâs theory was proven correct.â
I scratched my head as I watched her make a clenched fist and snort.
âBut at the same time, it also proves that I canât get any stronger without the rainbow skills.â
And with hah, I sigh.
Earl raised her voice briefly, âAh,â and then apologized, âIâm sorry.â Itâs okay because itâs not really Earlvâs fault, but it doesnât change the fact that the problem is there.
I thought only skills didnât reset, which led to the misconception that I could gain infinite strength.
Now that I know for a fact that it wasnât, Iâm honestly disappointed that my revenge against those who gave up on me is one step away.
On the other hand, Iâm only happy about the fact that the traumatic skill of Magic Boost is gone.
âDamn it. I donât know which one was better.â
I was bewildered by this dilemma and drank my mug of sake down.
After the launch, we had come back to the guild to look for the next quest for now.
However, when I was about to go to the bulletin board, the lady at the reception desk stopped me.
As we headed towards the reception desk to see what was going on, the lady smiled at us, looking relieved.
âGood to have you back. I almost got scolded by the Guildmaster.â
âWhatâs going on?â
Earlv tilted her head, asked the receptionist lady.
âYes. Actually, the guild master wanted to meet you guys. I just forgot to tell you that.â
âDonât lose sight of something so important.â
âIâm sorry.â
âRox! You canât talk to her like that!â
I was scolded by Earlv for making the lady gloomy. I didnât say that hard, though. Iâm just saying what it is.
âAlright, so what does Guildmaster need with us?â
âYes. Actually, the quest that the two of you received, I think it was recommended C rank.â
âThen?â
âItâs actually a recommended A-rank.â
âWhat?â
I let my suprise fly and Earlv hit me from the side with a thud.
âIâm sorry for Rox keeps acting that. May I ask why?â
âAlright.â
The receptionist lady was slightly freaked out by me and told me how that quest came about.
