I did not notice the skills window but apparently, i do have skills.
A passive one and an active one.
The passive one helps in weakening my opponent to a degree if he is about as strong as me or a bit stronger than me.
The more i level up I'm sure the more the level of these skills increase.
The other is called Slashing arts, It's a combo of slashes i learnt without having to really learn them.
I got these 2 skills as an exploration reward.
What is the exploration reqard you ask?
It's the Skill that allows information to reach the heroines in the next regression.
Meaning if i tell something to the heroines in this regression, They'll know about it through the system onc3 i go back to the past again and start from square one.
Hina agreed to train me, she said that i have talent but my basics are beyond shit.
My slashes have power but th3 posture and everything else is beyond shit.
She asked how i was even appointed into this acadeny without knowing even the basics of swordsmanship.
But she felt like if she trained the basics i'd be pretty good.
And, that's how we somehow became master and Apprentice.
...
"You know... I'm already weirded out by my apprentices following me around, It's weird of you too to follow me home like this."
"Well it's the job of the apprentice to protect their master isn't it?"
"Isn't it the other wayvaround? Also, Are you sure you even have the capacity of protecting a deer from a lion? Ehat makes you think you can protect me from assassins and demons?"
"Wait what??? Assassins and demons are after you??? I was just trying to b3 cool a d stuff. Shouldn't you be careful?"
"Well i can take care of them."
"So... there really are people following you around to kill you?"
"Aah... well... um, i was just talking about a hypothetical situation."
"I see... Egen if it's a hypothetical situation if you feel like there's someone tryingvto kill you. Than do not trust anyone. Friend, foe, Family, Brothers. It could be anyone. It could even be me."
She stared at me, Than drew her longsword out.
"What are you implying? Are YOU trying to Kill me?"
"I'm a weak ass shit, I couldn't even graze you even if i wanted to. I'm just saying do not trust anyone. So... Can you please put that down. It's poking my neck, A little scar and I'm pretty much dead."
She kept the sword there for a bit
*Sigh* than sighed and took the sword out.
"You shouldn't talk about weird things when you know nothing about them it'll make you look suspecious."
Damn... that scared the ratshit outta me.
I couldn't die yet, I was this close to Knowing the real culprit.
I'd better be careful from now on.
...
It's been 2 months since than, everything is going smoothly, I've been following her around like her assistant.
Carrying her stuff, helping her with everything possible.
I opened the locker, to see if i got the item i had ordered.
but what greeted me was a letter inside the locker..
This? A Love letter?
I was quite shocked to see a love letter inside it, Wait... did i somehow make Hina like me After all the help i did her?
Imagine, Hina liking me...
It sure would be a heaven like no other.
...
"You god damn fuck... How fucking long has it been? 2 Months? You have been creepy following her around for the last 2 months. Any longer and that damn Bastard will no doubt Kill me."
I was standing at the back of a gymnasium, What should have been a romantic gesture from a beautiful women...
Turned out to be a dude, a mentally strained and unstable dude ranting shit that i did not understand because i realised i was pranked.
Pranked hard.
"I finally got your ugly ass here. Now, get ready to die bitch."
And this pissed me off.
I really wanted to beat the shit outta him.
The exploration reached 5% after the last 2 Months.
"Aahhhh... Fucking Helllll."
My Swordsmanship Level reached new heights because of my training with Hina and i 1 passive and 1 actuve skill after reaching 5% exploration.
"Huh? Aren't you a washed down D rank?"
which made me understand that i get a passive and actuve skill every time my level reaches 5% and every 1% My level increases by 2.
"What is this? What are these skills? Ive never heard of them being with you."
Meaning my level increased by 7 and now I'm level 14 and on top of that i have 2 New skills.
This system might be even more amazing than i thought.
And, It appears that the Heroines are growing stronger aswell.
Or that's what the goddess told me.
"If i Don't get this done, he'll kill me."
While I'm growing by 2 levels they appear to be growing by 1.5.
Since they are already at above level 50.
"Who do you mean by He?"
but still, being level 50 and still growing by 1.5 levels for every 1% exploration completed.
It's qute good.
Meaning, they are already 50 and will get another 150.
"You Don't get to question me, Ignorant fool."
They'll be stronger than they ever were and so will i as I'll reach 200 after the end of the exploration..
"Do you mean the demon King?"
I wonder how many regressions I'll have to go through to get there.
"Huh?"
She said that she hoped it wouldn't take me 100 regressions to get there but 2 months and exploration increased by 5.
and not just that I've gone through 15-20 regressions already.
and it's only been 2 months.
"Or is it one of the commandors controlling you?"
"You... How do you.."
"Or is it Stella, The god of death?"
"How... do you know that name?"
A shadow appeared from behind him.
An aura that no normal human could have, even the heroines would pale in comparison to this man's aura
A Blonde haired man, Burning red eyes just like mine.
Finally the hidden boss appears.
The blonde haired man Punched me in the gut.
And blood spilled out of me.
Not only that but there was a gaping hole on my stomach.
I hope you are watching this Hina because this is the only way the exploration rate will increase.
And as i looked at the screen on the wall, i Smirked
"Gotcha Bitch."
[EXPLORATION INCREASE 5% - 28%]
The final boss of act 1 was finally revealed to the heroine.
