Chapter 234

(234) Suzuki’s job lecture

Translator: Tseirp

At any rate, this guy Suzuki is quite familiar with fighting .

If we looked at just the status, I was clearly better than him . Naturally, I had more skills compared to him as well .

But the number of Thieves we defeated was about equal .

The Holy Knight seems to be similar to Sword Saint, or it might be a superior job above that of Sword Saint and the skills acquired may be rather strong, but his fighting style had minimal wasteful movements . He had probably been through numerous battlefields . My fighting style was mostly focused on bulldozing my way through using my status so I guess this would be the result of fights with predefined conditions such as these .

Miri would probably fight even better than me or Suzuki .

That was likely to be the adverse effects of my Growth Cheat and Jobless Cheat .

Since I would win even without thinking, I seem to have neglected battle tactics .

“What are you thinking about?”

“I was wondering if Death Warrior-sensei was currently looking through the doujinshi you left in the room . ”

“Buh! Amazing, Kusunoki-kun . You plan to corner me mentally so that you can defeat the boss first, right?”

“I would be running at full speed if that was my intention . Since I seem that I am faster . Probably thanks to the speed up skills that I possess . ”

“Uwah, just how many skills do you have? Even though I was confident in my leg speed . ”

Nevertheless, Suzuki was amazing as well given how he was not out of breath either .

I a.s.sumed only Haru would be able to follow my current speed .

“Enough skills to acquire the Skill Organization skill . ”

“Yeah, I have that many as well — ah, there’s a trap there so be careful . ”

The floor below my feet sunk the moment Suzuki said that .

At the same time, an arrow came flying toward me from the front .

“Uoo . ”

I instinctively avoided it . The arrow flew past where my head was at and disappeared into the distance .

“You didn’t have to avoid it that excessively . ”

“It would be scary if it was poisoned … or rather, there’s no way I could still consciously think of how much to avoid it by when it was an actual surprise attack . Leaving that aside, you could tell that there was a trap?”

“Trap Detection is an indispensable skill to an adventurer? You didn’t learn it?”

” … Yeah, I didn’t . How do you learn it?”

“No idea . Erm, you have to attend a workshop by the Adventurers Guild . It cost 30,000 sense though . ”

“It’s possible to learn a skill from a workshop?”

“Er, by attending the workshop and pa.s.sing the test, it would unlock the Trapper job and you can acquire the Trap Detection skill after reaching Trapper Lv3 . A Trapper can gain experience just from disa.s.sembling and a.s.sembling traps so once you become a Trapper, you can just repeatedly disa.s.semble and a.s.semble the traps . ”

“Wait, it is possible to change job just by pa.s.sing a test?”

“Kind of . Since Ichinojo-kun has a growth cheat job, do you have any t.i.tles that are the Peak of something?”

“Yeah, I do . ”

They were the t.i.tles I received after reaching level counter-stop .

Although, until now, I still did not know the exact effects of the t.i.tles .

“Once you get a job called the Instructor, you will learn a skill to set questions for an exam to acquire the jobs that you have reached the peak for . With that skill, you will be able to set the exam for specific people . The job will be unlocked for them if they can pa.s.s that exam . Naturally, the advance jobs will have difficult exam contents and I heard that there are some exams where n.o.body have pa.s.sed before . ”

So there was such a system .

I totally did not know that .

“Incidentally, how does one become an Instructor?”

“You can become an Instructor by taking an exam . ”

The Instructor, which can set exams for others, have to take an Instructor exam to become one; in that case, how did the Instructor who set the questions for the Instructor exam become an Instructor in the first place? It became a philosophical question but I guess the first person most likely possessed a Unique job .

I see, so there was such a trick .

By the way, the exam to become a Trapper was to disa.s.semble a smoke bomb made by a Trapper .

A novice would not be able to disa.s.semble it but it seemed that there was a 30% chance of pa.s.sing if one worked hard on studying during the workshop .

30% was quite severe — it was at the level of the exams for difficult colleges but thinking about it, Suzuki was the son of a doctor .

Furthermore, I heard from him during the voyage that before transferring to this world, it was his dream to become a doctor and his acceptance rate for famous medical colleges was determined to be an A grade so exams and lectures were probably his strong points .

I would most likely fail if I took them .

Nevertheless, so jobs can be unlocked by taking exams .

“In other words, I can think of them as the human-version of the Initiation Bosses?” (TLN: Ie . the punching kangaroo which he got a job from by defeating it . )

“Yeah, you can think of it that way . The Initiation Bosses are a lot rarer though . It is impossible to cheat for the exams so they are apparently quite difficult . Ah, but I believe Kusunoki-kun would pa.s.s the combat-type exams . ”

“I see . By the way, what kind of exam did you take to become a Holy Knight?”

“Hahaha, there are no exams to take to become a Holy Knight . Let me see … to become a Holy Knight, you have to reach Knight Lv50 and be a n.o.ble?”

“Eh? But one can only be born into n.o.bility right? How did you become a n.o.ble?”

“You can become a n.o.ble if a king or pope award you with a knighthood . Transported individuals who are recognized to be useful are treated as a guest by the Church Headquarters and recognized as Otherworld n.o.bles . Didn’t you hear from the Church?”

I didn’t hear about it . Or rather, I never changed job in a Church in the first place .

Malina, similarly a j.a.panese … was probably ignored by the Church since her Street Performer job could not be changed . While Miri … I don’t know her thinking .

Ah, but since Daijiro-san partied with the Hero, he might have been treated as a guest n.o.ble .

Incidentally, after hearing that, I made sure to avoid the Church Headquarters as much as possible .

I could not become a n.o.ble — once my first job changes into n.o.ble, I would not be able to use my Jobless cheat any further .

I was thinking to myself when we reached a large door .

There was no mistaking it, there was a huge presence behind the door .

“Now then, it will be a compet.i.tion once the door opens . ”

“Yup, may the best man win . ”

We opened the door and standing within was —

An enormous Elephant man standing on two feet .

… Eh? The enemy boss was an elephant?
