『Thou, Can thou hear my voice? 』Nanji yo, watashi no koe ga kikoeru ka?

Hmm? What? I’m sure I fell asleep…. is this a dream?
I could hear someone’s voice inside my head.

『I saw what you did earlier. Do you know how to use the power that you’ve obtained? Well, I’m looking forward to seeing how things progress from now. Till the day you come to me. 』Saki hodo no katsuyaku mi sasete moratta wa. Teniireta-ryoku no tsukaikata wa wakaru kashira? Ma~a, kongo ni kitai shi teru wa yo. Itsunohika watashi no tokoro ni kuru made wa

When the owner of the mysterious voice said that, the uncomfortable feeling in my head quickly disappeared. And at the same time, another voice came in.

「…lt…….ke up… 」

Hm?

「…Kelt…….ke up… 」

What…?

「Kelt, wake up! 」Keruto okiro

I can feel someone shaking me, slapping me, kicking me….hey don’t kick me!

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the dazzling sunlight pouring down from the beautiful blue sky. Something was blocking the sun’s rays, shading me. When I looked, it turned out to be Euvis’ face. It seems he’d woken me up.

「mmmgh…. mornin Euvis」nn.... Yuubisu ohayo

「upsy daisy 」Osu osu

「I’m up, I’m up♪ UUUng~~ngh」Oki reta oki reta ♪ u~u ~~ n

Stretching out towards the sky, I stood up.

「Good on you for getting up right away. Yushiris won’t wake up at all. He’s exactly the as in Uni, that one. 」Omae wa shikkari okite erai yo, yushirizu wa zenzen okine~e…… daigaku ni ita toki to mattaku kawaranai yo, aitsu mo

Yes, Yushiris is absolutely not a morning person. Even as a uni student, he was a habitual slacker, preferring to sleep in at home rather than attend morning lectures. On some days he even skipped uni entirely. I had no choice but to go wake up the very same Yushiris.

「Oi Yushiris, get up. You’re gonna be late. 」Oi yushirizu okiro, chikoku sun zo

I shake Yushiris’ body.

「I can’t eat any more……ZZzzzz 」Mō tabe rarenai…… suyasuya

「Get. Up. 」Okiro

I punched Yushiris in the stomach.

「Guwough…  *cough*」

Ah, looks like he’s finally up.

「Good Morning♡ 」Gummōningu ♡

「*Cough* *Cough*… I’ll forgive you because you’re cute….like hell I will! Think about the person you’re waking up!」Gehoggeho~tsu…… kawaii kara yurusu……-yakune~edaro! Okoshi-kata kangaero!

「Good job waking up」Yoi mezame da ne

I give him a wink and a thumbs up.

「If it weren’t you on the inside, there’d be a proper bishoujou standing before me」Nakami ga omae janai chanto shita bishōjonara na

Yushiris gives me the middle finger.

Aaanyway, he’s up, so let’s leave it at that. Looking around, we’re still in the forest, surrounded by trees as far as the eye can see, and we still had no idea where we were. There’s absolutely no telling whether the exit was nearby or far away.

I’m sure we’d walked quite a long distance yesterday. There’s also the chance of monsters and the like showing up, so it’s kinda dangerous. We ought to get out of this forest right away. I check to see that everyone’s okay. Hmm? We’re short a man. Where’s Gakuto?

「Say, where’s Gakuto?」Nā? Gakuto doko ni itta?

「Umm, Gakuto said he had to use the toilet and went further into the forest」A~a, gakutonara toire shitai yuute mori no oku ni itta yo

Dan said as he pointed in the direction opposite to the way we’d been walking.

「I see. Alright, then let’s wait for a bit」Sō ka, jā sukoshi matte iyou ka

「You could get lost carelessly moving about afterall」Heta ni ugoku to maigo ni nari-sōyashi na

We each prepared to move out as we waited for Gakuto to return. Dan is looking around the forest. Euvis and Yushiris are washing their faces in the pond nearby. Ama is looking at his status I think?

What’s with that eye movement? I guess I should check my status as well. Come to think of it, does everyone else even have any abilities?

「Say, Ama-cchi^[1], you looking at your status? 」Nā Ama-cchi, ima sutētasu mi teru?

「N? Well yea I am, but I don’t have any skills or anything yet. Will it show up once I learn it?」An? Mite ndakedo sa, sukiru mo nani mo mada mu indakedo, kore tte shūtoku suru to miren no?

「Probably」Tabun na

Standing next to Ama, I looked at my own status. There was a column called ‘Skills’ and another called ‘Spells’, where the abilities I picked up yesterday were listed.

While looking at my status, I noticed a new section had appeared at the top, called ‘Special Spec’.

What’s a ‘Special Spec’?

Right as I thought that, The System responded.

<<A Special Spec is a unique skillset consisting of multiple powerful skills that is miraculously created due to a person’s innate talents. Only about 1% of all lifeforms in the world possess a Special Spec, regardless of race of species. Furthermore, an individual may have only one Special Spec (though there are exceptions to this rule).>>

Eh? A miracle? 1 percent? Me?

No way. To think I possessed such a powerful skill. Quite the shocker. But I still have no idea as to what my Special Spec’s abilities are. Monsters might suddenly appear out of nowhere afterall. I’d best look into Special Spec.

<<Analysing Kelt-sama’s status………..>>

<<Analysis Incomplete>>

<<Information is as follows>>

         Name: Kelt

Starting Skill:  【???】
Starting Skill:  【???】

         Basic Skill: 【Wind Domination】

Magic:【Total Recovery】

Money: 150G (reward for subjugating the Hell Hound)

What the hell is with this power? I’m still weak, of course, but this status is just crazy……

Is this the ability to create my own powers? Isn’t that like insanely powerful? And at just 50% analysis, doesn’t that mean I have other abilities too?

But right now, I don’t really get it. Just going by this Special Spec’s name, I have absolutely no idea what sort of abilities I can create. Well, I guess time will tell. Let’s just be patient.

How about Ama? Does he have any powers?

「Ama-cchi, do you have a Special Spec by any chance?」Amacchi wa supesharu supekku tte no motta?

「Special Spec? Ah, here it is. I haven’t taken a look at it yet」Supesharu supekku? Ā kore ne. Mada mi tenakatta wa

「Eh? You’ve got one?」E? Motteru no?

「Ah, well, I kinda forgot that it popped up when I picked a name」Iya nanka, namae kimeta toki ni issho ni dete ki teta no wasureteta wa

That means the theory that we all have one…. Nah, there’s no way… Probably just Ama and I that have it.

「Now then, let’s what abilities I’ve got」Sate ore wa don'na nōryoku ka na

「Hmmm…. 」

「Well? 」Dōdatta no?

「Kelt, stand back for a bit 」Keruto, chotto hanarete te

As he said this, Ama extended his right hand towards the tree in front of him. Then his body made a buzzing sound and was filled with electric like sparks.

「Hngh!! 」

When Ama let out a forceful sound, a sudden light shone from his hand along with a loud popping sound.

It lasted for just a moment, but I could tell that electricity was being emitted from his hand.

Looking in the direction of his hand, had all the large trees disappeared? No. For over 100 meters, all the trees had been obliterated and turned into charcoal.

「Huh….? 」E......?

Thank you for reading!

If you could, please click the “bookmark” and “rate” buttons! (*´ω` *)

I’m looking forward to your feedback and reviews!

TN: This chapter is a little shorter, probably because theres a part 2! From now on there’s going to be mentions of skills and spell names n stuff. In general I will use the provided katakana for the skill name, but the author lacks consistency in name (often using the kanji skill name) and even lacks consistency in the choice of brackets to use n stuff. I generally just go with what the author has put unless theres a glaring inconsistency. Please let me know if there’s something you think should be changed.

Please leave a comment if you liked this chapter or have any suggestions for improvement 🙂
