Chereads / Maxing Out From the Start / Chapter 8 - Chapter 7 - The TEN...

Chapter 8 - Chapter 7 - The TEN...

"Oh? I bet you have been training for years with masters... Still, I don't understand how you..."

Junko begins to speak to me, but Miyu cuts her off.

"Yeah... I hope we get in the same class too! Though I don't think I will..."

"Hmm... I wouldn't worry about that. I'm not aiming for a high-class. I'm just trying to make it into the school. Also, I just started to use my points and training a month ago."

"Huh?!" Both of them say in shock.

"Lies! Someone can't defeat a WD class beast solo and with one spell on their first attempts. I mean, the meteorite skill cost a base level of 1,000 EXP, doesn't it?"

"Um... I'm not sure. I didn't buy that skill..."

Junko stares at me with widened eyes. Then, Miyu questions me.

"Didn't you use [Spell Engineering]? I mean, you hold onto a magic circle for a moment. Unlike skills, circles go away instantly since the skill is using the mana instead of the circle."

"But that is impossible, Miyu! The skill is unheard of. Plus, it's so expensive that no one has it! The only way to obtain it is through the reduction theory."

"Reduction theory? What's that?"

"Since you don't know, that means you didn't use it. The theory states that if someone buys a lot of skills and increase them too high levels, including base stats, then you'll get a skill that can reduce the cost of spells. See, the problem with this theory is that it would cost ten lifetimes amount of EXP to get and max a lot of skills and the base stats."

Hmm... Thanks to my father, I was able to do the impossible and max a lot of my skills. That allowed me to get the EXP deduction skill eventually. Lucky me...

"Oh, okay. I understand. I better head home now, though. Miyu, I hope to see you at school."

I smiled and bowed to both of them. Miyu replies, "Yeah, me too..."

I turn around and activate my teleport skill. Oops. It might have been a bad idea to teleport in front of those two. Let's hope this doesn't bite me in the butt later...

After teleporting home, I ate dinner and went straight to bed.

** Enomoto Junko's Point of View **

After saying our goodbyes, Sho vanishes from our eyes. 'Where did he go!? Don't tell me he can teleport too...'

Tonight was a rough night. Plus, I put my sister in danger. I have a lot to report to the other members of the TEN...

As I walk Miyu home, she begins talking about Sho.

"He's cool! He took down a beast in one shot and instantly healed our wounds..."

This has been the first time I'd have ever heard Miyu excitedly talk about someone else.

"Hah... This is the first time I've seen you interested in someone. Maybe he's your..."

"No!"

Miyu denies me before I could finish my sentence. She blushes as she refuses. Yep, she totally in love...

"Anyway, you could get that strong. You do have more EXP than any other person of your age... Well, exclude Sho. I don't know how much EXP he had or spent..."

"I did spend half of them, but we still couldn't defeat the beast..."

"You can't compare that fight with your abilities. A WD class beast is no joke. It does require all or most members of the TEN to defeat one. Right now, you could destroy any A class monster. Spend your left wisely; you could defeat S class beasts."

"Mmk..."

I smile at her and continue to think to Sho was...

** A couple of days later... **

"So, Junko. Is what all you said is true?"

"Yes, this boy eradicated a WD class beast with one shot. I also believe that he has teleportation, healing, spell engineering, and barrier skills at high levels."

Currently, I'm in a meeting with the TEN talking about what has occurred a couple of days ago. Number Three starts talking.

"That's impossible! If he has all those skills and at a level greater than five, then he would have spent many lifetimes of EXP. This is impossible!"

"Well, unless his family is one of the banned families..."

The banned families. There are only a small number of families who use a banned skill [Transfer]. This skill has been prohibited since it could create a demonic beast. There are several outlooks at each banned family to make sure that none of them use their EXP, so it would be impossible for Sho to be in one of those families.

"There might even be a banned family we haven't encountered before... We need to investigate his family line immediately. We might be able to stop him before he gets invincible..."

"What are you talking about!? He defeated a WD class beast! He is already invincible!"

...

Everyone just sat in quiet at this time. It's true, even if we all work together, it might be impossible for us to defeat such a monster...

"Okay... We should just watch him for now. Junko, you said he was planning to join a school? We'll make it so that you are an instructor there. Observe him..."

"Understood!"

At this, we stopped the meeting. I return home with a weird expression on my face...

** Nii Sho's Point of View **

A month has passed since defeating that WD class beast. I continued to train after that day. I can now say that I master most of my skills.

Today marks the testing day for the school. My family made a delicious breakfast and gave me some words of appreciation.

"Go and destroy the competition, Sho!"

"Heh, I'll try..."

I smiled and ate breakfast. Afterward, I start to travel to the town to take the test. Most go a day before for the test, but since I can fly in light years, I didn't think I would need to.

Actually, after activating my flying ability, I reached the town instantly. Okay, time to pass this test for dad!
