「—in other words, Touma, with the broken skill, the so-called interface or something, of yours, you’re able to voluntarily do class change?」

「I believe I was told that it was something like a beta version skill, though.」

「You dickhead, just how much use do you think you’ll get out of being able to choose your change classes destination?!」

The time both Shizuka and I got classes that were somewhat different from what we expected.

「Is that super awesome?」

「… No, awesome can’t even begin to describe it. Touma, be sure not to tell outsiders about it, okay?」

Seiichi, switching to serious mode, gives me such a warning.

It seems that in the case we obtain an unidentified class or skill that isn’t listed in the academy’s database, we’re obliged to report it to the academy.

There seems to be discoverer bonus-like privilege, but it seems to come with human experiment-like examination.

Thus it’s decided to cover the skills up.

「That’s why, Seiichi, Mai, both of you can already do class change.」

「Wow. Lucky.」

「Wait a minute. I believe there’s supposed to be the precondition of being at level 10 for performing class change.」

「Yeah, that’s why there’s no problem.」

「Don’t tell me, you can even see our level? Just how much of a cheat skill is that…?」

I think being at level 20 is enough, or rather, the overflow portion is such a waste.

And Shizuka-san, I wonder if it is not about time to get tired of it.

It certainly feels good, but it feels like the sensation has gotten dull and numb.

「But there’s no magic swordsman. Hmm, if I have to choose from these, I think I’ll be kinda lost.」

「So this is my potential, huh…. As expected, looks like I really have no qualities for a healer.」

Giving the lost duo a sidelong glance, Shizuka-san is enraptured in performing boob job service.

For the person who’s performing the service to be so satisfied, sex sure is deep in various ways.

This, If I take her to the 『Cathedral』, I feel that she’d end up being a 『Service Princess』 or something.

「If we have to choose, then I guess we should go with the second step class. Since I don’t think we’ll be able to tell a damn if we start with a superior class from the get go, after all.」

「In that case, I guess I’ll go with 『Sorcery User』. 『Agitator』 seems too ambiguous, after all…. I wish I had healer in my list, though.」

「We’ll just look for another way.」

I’m sorry while the two are in the middle of flirting and creating a good atmosphere, but I truly wish them to decide soon.

The way them erecting a love field the moment we leave them alone sure is troubling.

―― 『Yomotsu Hirasaka』, a branch realm connected to the labyrinth of Perforation Realm, 『YGGDRASILL』――

――The 『third』 stratum, 『uncharted』 domain――

Bracing his step with a thump, Seiichi raised and crossed his arms in front of his body.

What was held in each hand was an intensely curved dagger with a knuckle guard.

The dagger, which was specialized for hand-to-hand combat, was of the kind that was commonly known as trench knife, and the brass knuckle-shaped guard, which protected the fingers, was a feature designed to be able to also be used for striking from the beginning.

On the battlefield, it was a weapon for reaping each other’s life in hand-to-hand combat in a literal trench.

「Gigi!」

A goblin with a wooden shield and a short sword at the ready rushed at Seiichi from the front.

As the miasma did not circulate in the uncharted domain, most of the monsters they encountered were at the upper limit of the stratum control value.

In other words, the level of the goblins on the third stratum was 20, which was also the limit of their race.

To put their strength level in a simple term, they were as strong as 20 level 1 goblins.

As the lowest standard in the dungeon was level 1 goblin equaled a normal human, such strength was enough to be called monstrous.

「… Bunshin.」

The murmur that slipped out his gritted mouth, overlapped like an echo.

The goblin stumbled by Seiichi, who darted left and right at the same time from its point of view, and got its face struck from both sides.

「This thing, it feels sickening…. I can somehow sense from both sides, but just under what principle does it work?」

Merging into one again, Seiichi pulled out the trench knife from the back of the goblin.

It was one of the『Ninjutsu』 skills『Ninja』 could use, 『Bunshin (Doppelganger)』.

『Ninja』, a second step rare class, was a class that provided great correction for one’s fleshy battle ability.

It was a hybrid class that could also use magic-type skill called the『Five Elusive Arts』, which was also a part of『Ninjutsu』.

「Hahaha, burn. Burn to ash!」

The high-tension Mai raised her staff with a loud laughter.

The arts-use assistant tool called magic rod was an item that allowed humans, whose magic control organ had degenerated, to use magic.

It was a product of lost magialogy revived in the modern age by the research department set up in the depth of the health and medical care building.

With the magic rod sold in the purchasing department for arts user, coupled with their physical strengthening modification through class change, they would come to be able to use『Magic』 without the need for training.

Mai, who had had her magical energy control ability enhanced due to her acquisition of『Sorcery User』 class, she was able to convert her SP (Soul Point) into magical energy.

SP – which was the soul point, magical energy, miasma, as well as the composite element of the soul – was the first Prima Materia, the foundation element of the universe.

It was said to be the ultimate catalyst for innumerable changes.

The magical energy, which was given the attribute of fire through the intermediary of the magic rod, manifested into a volleyball-sized fireball at the tip of the staff.

「Choiya.」

She swung the magic rod down as if she were throwing a ball with it.

The fireball, which was fired and flying with vrooing sound, made a direct hit on a goblin that was trying to flee to the corridor and engulfed it in fire.

「I have, awakened! Super overpowered!」

「Don’t get the power over your head.」

Seiichi retorted to Mai, who was in loud laughter with her hands on her waists, but cold sweat running down on his back at the sight of the goblins that had turned into bundles of flames here and there.

The reason why magic was not nullified despite it being a projectile was because magic was not material, but astral in itself.

Arts user-type class could be said to be a powerful class that excelled at astral wielding.

「But I’m strong, aren’t I? I think I’m the strongest damage dealer in this party!」

「Hold it down until you get used to it. Like really.」

Perceiving its danger, Seiichi told Mai, whose breathing was disarranged, with a serious look.

「But, but, with this I’m no longer baggage, you know? I’ve come to be of some use too.」

「I never thought of you as a burden from the start.」

「… Seiichi~.」

Getting attacked with a serious look, Mai easily cave in and limply leaned on Seiichi’s chest.

「Oioi. Geez, what a hopeless girl, you are.」

「Funya… huh, somehow I can’t muster up strength, I think.」

「O, oi?」

「Ah, so that’s the case, huh. I think I’m out of MP.」

With the hexagonal six-foot red on his shoulder, Touma moved toward Seiichi, who was hugging Mai in fluster.

Mai’s MP bar graph displayed in Touma’s interface was about eighty percent greyed out.

Seiichi’s and Shizuka’s had also decreased due to them using『Ninjutsu』 and『Wish』, but by less than even ten percent.

「I, I see…. Making me worry like that.」

「U~, sorry.」

「No, it’s not too fine. It’s not the type where it’s divided into stamina and magical energy like in RPG. But seems to be more like a shared value of HP and MP.」

「Oioi!」

Seiichi became pale faced, but Touma’s conjecture was roughly correct.
