When breakfast was over, they talked about things from then onward.
“Though I asked you to take care of the equipment, I don’t want you to only do that. You have to take it easy and go sightseeing.”
“Then, will you tell me a place with a library? A place with past documents is good, too.”
“Hmm, understood. There will be a need for a permission, but I will arrange it all.”
“I’m relieved of the trouble.”
He might identify some of the things he didn’t understand in Bayreuth. If there was the permission of the first Beast King, he might even be able to see something like a prohibited book which was his goal earlier. There were no issues somehow or other.
“What will Schnee and Tiera do?”
“I will stay with Shin.”
Schnee answered immediately as if it was natural. To take it easy? It seemed there was no option for her to go sightseeing.
“Well um, I wonder if I can follow you to the library too? I am curious but…”
“Do you want to go together after I repair Girard’s equipment?”
“I don’t mind. When you repair the equipment, will you deal with an 《Ancient》 grade weapon? I’m interested in that too.”
Tiera has been researching the message card he handed over from before, but apart from that, she appeared to be interested in the work that Shin did.
Her study couldn’t crack a part of the mechanism yet, but because she was not in a hurry, it seemed to be postponed.
“Then it’s settled. Girard and company, what will you do?”
“I am, well as they say, putting my affairs in order. While I’m at it, I intend to teach a skill that I failed before to Wolfgang.”
“From yesterday’s talk, did you reach the Hiden rank?”
“I almost mastered it up until the Ouden. Because the Secret Book is almost certainty a loss. What will happen next will depend on that.”
Because Shin had heard the story about their stats, he expected that a rank of martial art skills has been acquired.
The ranks in martial art skills were divided into 5 ranks in THE NEW GATE.
First, the foundation skill was Shoden. There were many techniques to learn by leveling up. Ouden could be attained by training Shoden and Chuden. When a special quest was completed, Hiden was usually acquired by taking a different action. And then, when everything from Shoden to Hiden skills were forged until they were at their greatest, Shiden could be learned.
(T/N: Shoden[Beginner] < Chuden[Intermediate] < Ouden[Hidden] < Hiden[Secret] < Shiden)
Because there were stat value requirements too, any players who attained Shiden were all advanced level players. Wolfgang’s stats were barely enough for a Hiden rank.
Though Shin understood all of that, Girard’s next words made him raise his eyebrows.
“Is there such a thing as the Secret Book failing?”
Shin was surprised at that information, as it shouldn’t have failed if the condition was met. Was there another factor that has emerged or something? He thought it over.
“Martial arts and magic. Both depend on the mental condition of the user. Long story short, it can’t be learned if he is mentally inexperienced even if his stats are high.”
“…I see. It requires both mental and physical strength, huh?”
It was natural for martial arts, Shin who was thinking of various things, felt silly. As he himself belonged to an archery club in high school, he didn’t remember any sense of discomfort either. Martial arts were such things.
Mind and body were strengthened, to polish the techniques. It was a natural duty for a person to learn combat techniques.
“It’s that kind of thing. Well, if it’s Wolfgang, I don’t have to worry.”
“Certainly, he seemed to be diligent. And he has a warrior vibe as well.”
Shin had never met a person who was a genuine master or a person who was called a warrior in his former world, but he still felt integrity from Wolfgang. That sign would not be worn, if he had an untrained mind or inexperienced heart.
“He is pretty much my valued descendant. I’m so happy to have heard you say so.”
“You have become a grandpa who is proud of h
