Volume 3 Chapter 8 Special Ability？-Raw
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
I decided to check the effects of the [Charisma] Skill.
[Charisma]… A person who loses in battle against a [Charisma] holder will be made to obey without exception. (not including monsters). Skill point cost: 10
Wow, what a cheat Skill.
If I can get someone to admit defeat without killing them, it’s a Skill that can turn anyone into a subordinate or slave.
”What’s wrong? What does the Skill effect say?”
”Ah, uh. The Skill effect is, ‘A person who loses in battle against a [Charisma] holder will be made to obey without exception.’”
”Geez, I won’t be surprised by anything Kent says anymore.”
When Lina heard the effect of the skill, she collapsed onto the table.
To be honest, I didn’t want to see it either.
If I acquire such a skill, I will definitely be given the most important mark on the Demon Lord’s Assassination list.
It would be safe to seal this skill.
”You finally have the skill to make even men submit to you. Now all you need is overwhelming power… hahahaha”
Milly was giggling oddly at the effects of my skill.
It’s just a feeling, but if women become captivated by it and if they were to lose a battle, they’d definitely be made to obey, making me seem really like a Demon Lord.
”Kent! You need to prioritize acquiring [Charisma] right away, and then you’ll be able to survive!”
I was pressured by Milly’s fervor, and I ended up acquiring [Charisma].
──[Charisma] Skill acquired.
At that moment, I had grown into the greatest threat to the True Demon Kingdom, His Majesty the Demon Lord.
However, I have absolutely no intention of replacing the Demon Lord.
Just feeding my own subjects is already a hassle, and if I were to take the throne as a Demon Lord, I’d have to feed millions of people.
I’d rather leave such pressure to someone else.
As long as the Demon Lord doesn’t meddle with me, I plan to keep hunting monsters quietly.
”With that, I’ve definitely been promoted to a level worth erasing.”
”I won’t let that happen. Kent will become the lord of a city next to Abyss Vena in the southern region, and with some military accomplishments, you will be appointed as a general in the southern army of the kingdom by my uncle. Once that happens, it won’t be easy to kill Kent. I’ll make sure of it.”
”Huh? Am I really becoming a general?”
”Yeah? Conveniently, General Karvai is unaccounted for right now. It might be faster to appoint a new general. We also need to rebuild the destroyed garrison.”
”Ugh, that sounds like a hassle.”
”Don’t worry, Kent, you can do whatever you want. I and my uncle will do the prep and administration, and if we still need more people, we can just have Kent find a competent person. All you have to do is sit back and relax.”
Milly is trying to help me gain the strength and power so that His Majesty the Demon Lord cannot easily take action against me.
I also don’t want to be killed easily, so I’ll work hard on my strength.
As for power, I don’t really understand it well, so I’ll leave that to Milly, but I want to study it little by little.
Well, since I have plenty of competent brains around me, if I borrow their knowledge and wisdom, I should be able to manage somehow.
After that, I decided to check the skills that I had acquired during the beast monster battle, but hadn’t confirmed yet, with advice from Lina and Milly.
I’ll take a look at the effects of the released skills that are recorded in the log.
[Defense Technique II]…Physical defense power increases by 50% when equipped with shield or large shield, consumes 10 skill points.
[Damage Reduction II]…Physical defense power increases by 50% when equipped with full armor, consumes 10 skill points.
[Iron Wall I]…When activated, it increases your physical defense and magic defense by 10%, consumes 10 skill points.
[Evasion Increase I]…Evasion performance increases by 25% when equipped with light armor or robe, consumes 5 skill points.
[Agility Increase I]…Your movements become quicker and it’s easier to avoid attacks, consumes 5 skill points.
[Archery I]…Physical attack power increases by 25% when equipped with a bow, consumes 5 skill points.
[Body Enhancement Magic I]…Allows the use of beginner-level Body Enhancement Magic, consumes 5 skill points.
[First Strike I]…If you can attack first, your physical attack power increases by 10%, consumes 10 skill points.
[No Chant I]…Magic is activated instantly but the magic power is only 30% of what it would be if chanted, consumes 5 skill points.
[Fast Casting I]…magic casting time is reduced by 20%. Skill point consumption 5
[Magic Bullet Creation II]… Magic Bullet (Strong Bullet) Magic Bullet (Scatter Bullet) Attribute Bullet Creation Consumes 10 Skill Points
[Concentration]… activates, eliminating friendly fire during chaotic battles. Consumes 10 Skill points.
[Gun Handling II]… increases physical attack power by 50% when using handguns or firearms. Consumes 10 Skill points.
[Close Range Shooting I]… activates to increase physical attack power against close-range enemies by 20%. Consumes 5 Skill points.
Even though there were many lower-tier skills, a considerable number were unlocked when defeating the beast monster.
From these, I’ll consult Milly and Lina to decide what to acquire.
I gained a lot of Skill points as my job level increased, but I didn’t have enough points to acquire everything.
So, I’ll prioritize what to enhance.
”Kent, if you change your main job to [Gunsmith], your weapon proficiency will increase due to the job, and your attack power will go up significantly, but [Gunsmith] have the lowest armor proficiency, so your defense will drop drastically. Also, [Hero] is still an unknown job, and I don’t know its weapon and armor proficiencies, so we’ll pass on that for now. Therefore, it’s better to make [Heavy Warrior] the main job and focus on spears, large shields, and full armor with [Defense Technique II] and [Damage Reduction II] for maximum defense. It’s safer to keep the magic gun as a backup weapon instead of a sword. If you really want to use the magic gun, you should stay as a [Heavy Warrior] and use [Gun Handling II] to boost your attack power.”
”Also, since you have that ridiculous skill [Sexual Recovery I] and Mana Transfer, it’s worth acquiring [Attack Magic I], [No Chant I], and [Fast Casting I] to effectively use Healing Magic and Attack Magic.”
”I’m tough, huh? I can attack in close range, can use magic, and can handle long-range combat… I’m quite versatile.”
”That’s the [red] power you possess. In Grimoire, the power derived from the fallen god Orphée Bleu is divided into what are called ‘jobs’, and their techniques are referred to as ‘skills’. That’s why there’s a legend that says, ‘The one who gathers all the jobs and skills will become a new god.’”
I realized once again how incredible my [red] power is.
”Well, putting aside the talk about becoming a god, for now, I’ll focus on acquiring skills to get stronger.”
I’ve decided to acquire the skills recommended by Milly and Lina.
With [Defense Technique II], [Damage Reduction II], [Attack Magic I], [No Chant I], [Fast Casting I], and [Gun Handling II], that totals 45 points.
Also, since Elitzina was quite helpful this time, I decided to help secure ammunition for them and acquired [Magic Bullet Creation II] as a way to relieve excess magical energy when needed.
Additionally, I’ve decided to acquire the [Concentration] skill, which I heard can be used with throwing weapons and magic.
In chaotic battles, attacks that are unpredictable and could hit anyone are not possible.
However, if I activate this skill, the arrows will only hit the enemy.
I acquired it because I thought I must take utmost care not to accidentally injure them.

Looking at the status, Milly told me that the reason my HR (Hunter Rank) didn’t increase this time was that I hadn’t taken any subjugation quests at the Hunter Guild, and if I had, it might have gone up by about 20 all at once.
I didn’t really expect that much from a windfall, but later Milly told me she would talk to the Hunter Guild.
After that, when I went outside with Milly to see off the relocation of the Godard clan’s eastern garrison, everyone from the Godard clan was looking at me with sparkling eyes.
It seemed they were enamored upon hearing that their lord could solo hunt beast monsters.
I’m not that impressive of a person, but while receiving those uncomfortable gazes, I saw off the Godard clan who would become my subjects in the future.
However, Akebus left a parting gift.
He left his grandson Reinhardt as my attendant to serve me, together with the 3 daughters of Godard.
”Sir Kent! I want to be strong like Sir Kent! Please let me study by your side, I’m begging you!”
”It’s Akebus’s request. That’s fine. But we don’t need any live-in men, so is it okay if you commute? I will prepare a room for you.”
”That works for me! Also, may I join Ms. Giuliana’s training?”
”Yeah, get trained. Just make sure not to challenge me. If you lose to me, you’ll be a slave for life.”
”Eh? Ah, yes. I will do that.”
”That’s good to hear. Reinhardt.”
”Yes, Lady Miriallia.”
Reinhardt is a 10-year-old boy whose parents were killed by monsters, and he dreams of becoming a Monster Hunter.
Since coming to this mansion, he has also participated in Giuliana’s Red Valkyrie training.
However, my mansion is forbidden for boys, even children, and is for women only, so I decided to have him stay with the Zorbin family of Veris, who are members of the Red Valkyrie and Nobles, and have her commute from there.
I heard later that Veris’s parents were happy that Reinhardt was there to keep their younger daughter company, who had been feeling lonely ever since their older daughter Veris came to live with us in my house.
”Reinhardt, when you turn 15, let’s go on your first hunt together”
”Yes, I will become stronger by then.”
After seeing off the Godard family with Reinhardt, it had become lunchtime, so I decided to invite Reinhardt to have lunch.
