"Good morning."
I opened my eyes after that I got up from the bed and I walked away to the window to see the view in the morning. Outside the window looks something like a city many buildings such as ordinary houses and several terraced houses. The city is surrounded by walls, outside the walls there are other settlements and surrounded by higher walls.
"It's very beautiful, the scenery is very beautiful."
I kept looking at the buildings in the city, even the sun above shone on the city making the scenery more beautiful.
"I can't wait to go to that town."
"KNOCK KNOCK, Excuse."
"Yeah, wait a minute I'll open it."
I didn't ask who it was?, well I already knew for sure it was the Maid who yesterday gave me food in the morning and drink while I was training.
"Good morning, Hero Kuro."
"Ah yes, good morning."
I'm still in stunned of her beautiful face.
"Well it looks like you slept well tonight."
"Ahahaha, yeah. I was really tired after training so I ate after sleeping."
"Mmmm, I see well that's good then."
"Yes, thank you. I really helped you know because you came and brought me a water bottle otherwise I might have passed out in the middle of the field."
"Well yesterday I happened to see you practicing yesterday and you seemed to be showing a thirsty expression so I gave you that. So don't worry about it."
"I see, now instead of us talking at the door. We'd better talk inside."
"Is it okay?, well excuse me."
I nodded my head, after that he came in with a slightly red face. I also blushed a little when I closed the door to my room because this was the first time I invited a girl to my room, she was also very beautiful. I got too carried away with the bad luck!!, that I invited him to come in.
"Ah, sorry if my room is messy."
"No problem, can I fix it ?."
"Ah no need, I'll tidy it up myself no need to bother."
"Okay, well I brought your food here."
The maid took out a storage bag after which her hand held a tray covered in plastic in which there was bread, fried eggs, and 2 glasses of milk. After that he put it on the table.
"Thanks for the food, here's your bottle from yesterday too."
"No problem, and also I'll take that bottle and that tray last night."
I gave him the bottle he gave me yesterday and there was silence after that. Unlucky!! at this point what should I do it's also my first time talking to a girl in so long, also when I saw the maid's face she was also a bit confused about this situation. Ah yes, I almost forgot to ask his name.
"Anu, can you say your name."
"Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce myself. Now my name is Livia, I'm also a maid apprentice in this palace and I was assigned to take care of you for 1 month."
"I see, Livia is a good name and also introduce my name is Kuro, well even though you already know my name but. Nice to meet you and also ask for your help for this 1 month."
"Thanks for the compliment, and there's no need to worry about that I'm also in your care too and I'm also happy to be the Maid of a hero from another world."
"Mmm, also please don't call me Hero Kuro just Kuro."
"Is it okay, I'm just a maid here to even call you without being called a hero is very rude."
"I see, but just call me Kuro. The title Hero doesn't really suit me anyway, because."
"Because ?."
I'm silent here if I say "I'm just a carried away" here maybe he distanced me and looked down on me. But if I don't tell him now maybe he will regret taking care of me for 1 month. I'd better be honest and after that I'm a little bit hopeful he's the same as before.
"I'm just a person who got carried away and even I don't have class and stats are so low that it can even be called a Hero."
When I said that he put on a straight face not even at all surprised and he opened his mouth and said that.
"I see, but I already know know about it you know."
"That means you already know, sorry to disappoint you, because. What you take care of is not a hero, only "people are carried away".
"No don't worry about it, anyways I'm happy to know that I can take care of you you know."
Damn!!, Livia said with a smile. Ah so my worries are useless huh.
"Ahahaha thank you very much, Livia."
"It doesn't matter and also I'm going back to work. Well before that I'll tell you about your activities today are like yesterday, so you do your best."
"I see, I will escort you out of this room."
"Ahaha if that's fine for you, please."
I replied with a smile after that I took him to the front door.
"Thank you, also good luck for working."
"You practice too, see you."
"See you, too."
I returned to my room, after that I sat on the bench as I thought about the previous incident.
"If only Livia existed in the previous world and was in my class maybe I would have fallen in love with her."
Huh. Well stop your fantasies and accept the fact he is too good for you, Kuro. I said that to myself, well I'll better eat and get ready for training.
"Happy eating."
After I left Kuro's room, I went straight to my room which was on the 2nd floor. Actually I didn't have any work after bringing food to Kuro, but I had to lie to him.
"I feel a little guilty."
I muttered that when I got to my bedroom door after that I took out the key to open my bedroom door. When I entered my room, it wasn't too different from Kuro's room. Different here there was a cupboard and even some of my stuff.
I started to sit on the bed and thought about what happened when I was in Kuro's room.
"Hwahhh, I can't believe entering a boys' room other than my father's."
"Also he's a man I've only met for 2 days and I've entered his room."
"Hwahh!!, I'm the worst isn't it and also when saying my name is good with serious eyes looking at me."
Before I was calm but this is my true nature which is shy, and also actually I talk a lot but when I work I endure it with my training before becoming a Palace maid.
Now my heart is beating fast what's with this feeling this happy this is even the 2nd time I'm feeling it.
The first time was yesterday afternoon when I was walking down hallway 2 to go down to the 1st floor while carrying a tray on which there was food for Kuro. But when I was about to go down the stairs on my right I was interested in what kind of training the heroes were doing so I left to walk to the window to see the training ground and lowered my gaze. There was only one person there namely Kuro he was practicing swinging his sword with difficulty, I kept looking at him even I forgot that the tray I was carrying was still in my hand.
"Hey Livia why are you still here?."
"Ah sorry, Arne. I forgot that I gave food to the Hero."
"I See, but I heard that the hero you are taking care of is a "carried one" even though he doesn't have a class and his stats are very low. That's what I heard from other Maids."
"Ah, I already knew that. I used my Appraisal skill this morning while delivering the food."
"Mmm, aren't you bothered by that?."
"No, I don't really care about that."
"Haha, as expected of you. Maybe if it was another Maid maybe they wouldn't want to take care of he."
"You're overreacting you know, Arne. I'm doing this because the princess told me to and of my own free will, I'm just a maid apprentice after all."
"Ah, you can even become a maid you know. Ah, don't answer that, you must refuse."
"Yes, I have my own reasons for that. Also I will continue my work."
"Alright, do your best."
I replied by saying "Do your best too, Arne." Well Arne is a female knight she must be walking around on the 2nd floor as usual. I started walking to Kuro's room and put the food on the table, the door wasn't locked and he doesn't seem to know where the key is I'll tell him next time.
It was getting dark, and my job as a maid ended at 7pm. I'm now in the 2nd floor hallway to return to my room, but I wonder if Kuro has finished his training. When I walked over and looked at the window he was still practicing even though it was already night.
"It's amazing, even though he doesn't have the lowest Class and stats than the others you still train."
I let out my voice involuntarily and my heart skipped a beat when I saw her black haired figure struggling to swing her sword. When I saw the expression on his face he seemed very thirsty and hungry maybe I should bring him a drink.
It was the first time I felt my heart beating fast, and also when I was near Kuro I had a bit of a hard time holding back my composure.
"Maybe what I feel is what my mother said."
After eating and showering I went out of my room to practice wearing my uniform yesterday, and the shoes I wore yesterday for yesterday's practice.
"Hei, Kuro."
"Yoo, good morning Yuu."
As I was walking in my friend's hallway, Yuu ran to me.
"Kuro sorry I couldn't accompany you to practice yesterday."
"Ahh, there's no need to worry about that you too there must be something you have to do."
"You're right, Kuro. I can't wait to meet the maid who serves me."
"I see, eh Serve?."
"Yeah, you know Yuu Maid serves me whatever I say."
"Seriously?, means are you not a virgin anymore?."
"Ah, no no. I haven't gotten to that yet, Kuro ignores it. Well you know after training my stats went up, did you too?."
"Yeah, I've also had a few ascended ones and also I've read the basic books about this world have you read them too?."
"Yeah, I've read it and can't wait to go to the nearest dungeon here and become an adventurer."
"Mmmm, me too."
When I walked with Yuu in my head it contained the words that Yuu said before "it's not there yet.". Does that mean he will do it but if he really wants to it doesn't matter.
"All right, Kuro. Let's do our best for training today."
"Yes, let's do our best."
I reached in front of the door when it opened in the middle of the field there was Hikari and Putri talking with both happy smiles on their faces and on the left side of the field there was a big rock 230m high even that. I don't know where the stone came from, but yesterday it wasn't there.
"Hey Kuro, looks like princess is approaching Hikari."
"Seriously?, as expected of our class protagonist even the princesses are also approaching Hikari."
"Well it can't be helped that Hikari's strength, Even yesterday Princess came to Hikari's room after practice."
"I see, maybe some of our female classmates are jealous of Princess and boys are jealous of Hikari."
"Haha, yes I think so too."
Well it doesn't matter to me, by the way it seems the Mage class is practicing indoors so they aren't on the field and also the Old Man is already on the right side of the field with 13 students there so the only ones not gathered are Me, Yuu and Hikari.
"All right, Yuu. Let's get together too."
As I walked to the assembly I caught a glimpse of the center of the field. The two of them seemed to have finished talking after that they parted ways and waved to each other. The male students in the field looked at Hikari with jealousy, well when Hikari felt the gazes from the boys she started to smile a little embarrassed.
"Hey, Hikari you seem very happy there."
"Ahaha, Yes and also Arata can you come tonight to my room I have something to talk to you about."
"Of course I'll come."
After that Hikari and Arata started to talk about other things. The Old Man who had been sitting in a sitting position now stood up and opened his mouth.
"Alright, we will start training today"
"Well, in today's practice I will teach you how to use your Basic Skills and Skill Trees."
"Ah this is what I've been waiting for since yesterday yesterday."
"Right, I want to learn to use my Sword Skill."
My friends were buzzing when Old Man said he would teach me how to use Basic Skills and Skill Trees.
"Kuro, I'm really looking forward to using my Dragon Slance Skill. Is it coming out of a dragon on a spear I'd like to give it a try."
"Ahaha. I see, I can't wait to use my skills too."
I said that while scratching my head lightly.
"Well first I will teach you to use Basic Skills, Basic Skills can be used by just mentioning the name of your Skill. Now try to say the name of one of your skills."
"I see, so I'll give it a try "Appraisal"
Hikari was the first to try so she was very surprised, after seeing Hikari's expression the other students started to follow him. I'm not surprised because last night I just tried using a basic skill, now I'm curious about whether the Appraisal skill can be used on humans. When I focused my eyes on Hikari and said Appraisal a hologram screen popped up and there was Hikari's status.
"Amazing."
I let out my voice subconsciously, Hikari's status was like a cheat.

Skill Tree ???

Damn what's with that status it's unfair Hikari you Cheater. Even though you are only given 100 Skill points, you have a lot of skills, even if it has gone up to Middle. You are a cheater, you know Hikari, and you may already be a protagonist in this world.
"Hei, Kuro"
"Ya, why. Yuu ?."
"I just used my Appraisal on you but I can't see the Skills in your Skill Tree. After that I tried something else there I can see the skills, do you know why?. Also sorry to see your Status without permission."
"I see, no problem and I don't know why you can't see my skill tree"
"Mmm, but you have a lot of Basic Skills didn't you pick the skills that are in your Skill Tree?."
"Ah, my Skill Trees are all useless so I just pick one and the rest for basic skills."
"I see."
My Skill Tree can't be seen by Yuu, and all he can see is up to Basic Skills. I don't really know about that skill anyways it's useless.
"Alright do you guys understand how to use your Basic Skills?."
"Yeah, I got it and also that's pretty awesome."
"Yeah, that's right even I still don't believe that I can use Skills."
"Hahaha you guys are having too much fun with just that, and also you can use Basic Skills without saying it you know."
"Seriously I'll give it a try."
""""Me too.""""
I already knew about it so I wasn't surprised and also when I noticed the others their hologram screens weren't there. This means that each hologram screen can only be seen by the person who activates it. Except for the status hologram like the one Yuu showed me yesterday.
"Woah!! it's true I can use my basic skills without speaking, haha it's better than saying it."
"Yes, that's right. It's more comfortable than saying it."
"Benar."
"Well it looks like you guys got it, so I'll now explain how to use the Skill Tree."
"Just like basic skills you only have to say it but there are some skills that can only be used when you're holding a weapon. I'll give you an example."
Old Man walked to the left side of the field where the boulder was. After that Old Man took his big sword that was on his back after positioning his left foot in front and his right behind after that he raised his sword high and prepared to swing it against the rock.
"Meteor Strike."
After saying that he immediately moved his right foot forward while swinging his sword at the rock very quickly.
"BOOM!!"
An exploding sound was heard from where the Old Man was and the rock he had just hit with his greatsword that should have been split in half was crushed and the ground beneath the rock was slightly crushed as well.
"It's amazing, so that's the power of skill."
"Right, damn it's amazing."
"Yeah, is it the strength of the strength and the skill combined into such a power."
"Perhaps, also I am now afraid of Old Man. I will never cheat during training."
"Yeah. Me too, I imagined saying I was fought by that Old Man's sword Hiiii. So scary."
"Don't imagine such a terrible thing."
"Hahaha, now I can't wait to use my skills."
"Me too."
Old Man walked to our place while carrying his big sword. It was so terrifying I trembled a little when I saw the figure carrying the sword.
"Hahaha, you guys don't look at me with those eyes. I won't hit you guys."
"I see, but you are very strong as expected of a knight leader."
"Haha, but even though I'm strong. It took me 10 years for this to get this power but for you heroes maybe in just 1 year even it can be 5x stronger than me."
"You're overestimating us you know, Sir Chris."
"I'm serious, anyways you just transferred already have high stats and even have several Skill Trees. Especially you are True Hero, Hikari."
Old Man said that with a slight smile on his mouth. Hikari was a little embarrassed when called a True Hero, she only replied with a small laugh.
"Alright, you seem to have understood how to use Skill so please take your weapons yesterday and after that you try all your skills, also don't forget to use too much skill will make you tired and can't wear more skills in a few hours. Understand?."
"""""Yes Understood."""""
We all started walking and took our guns. Here I took my sword and started walking to the left of the field. Alright I'll try to use my skills here hopefully the only skill I have is very useful.
"Gluttony."
When I said that word, nothing happened. Maybe I should let go of my sword after that I raise my hand chanting the skill one more time."
"Gluttony."
When I say it again it's nothing, I'll try it one more time.
"Gluttony."
Nothing happened, maybe one more time.
"Gluttony."
One more time
"Gluttony."
again
"Gluttony."
again
"GLUTTONY!!."
Damn how many times I called it it didn't come out. It doesn't even work at all Damn!!, what's with this skill. When I looked around me some people looked at me with pity and looked down on me a bit.
"Hey Kuro, what are you doing?"
My friend, Yuu. Came at me while carrying the spear.
"A-Ah, it's fine."
"If you're tired please take a break I'll let you know, Sir Chris."
"I'm fine and also I'm not tired or anything so you don't have to worry about me."
"Okay if there's anything please call me Kuro. I'll continue practicing."
"Yes, thank you. The spirit of training, Yuu."
"You too."
Yuu went to the center of the field, and there he did a stance and held his spear in a stabbing position after that he said "Dragon Slance" the spear he was holding started emitting flames around his spear after that he pushed the spear. the speed Llike Old Man but a little slower.
"Amazing, Yuu. You are so strong."
Even the other students looked at Yuu in admiration, also on the right of the field was Hikari who was doing some very agile moves and also the sword she was holding gave off light. Old Man who saw that beside him clapped his hands.
"Sigh, why is the skill I have so useless, can't be used, and doesn't have any effect."
Damn why only me, also what should I now I do?.
Should I give up on training?, and enjoy life in the palace for 1 month after that I... what?.
What should I do?, I even believe that in less than 1 month I will be expelled from the palace if I enjoy life.
"Hhuuhh damn what am I supposed to do here."
I sat on the floor and stared at the sword beside me.
"Should I practice increasing my stats by swinging this sword?."
Even when I saw my classmates there they were practicing their swords and skills and Old Man just looked at them with a smile.
"Hhuuhh well I'll practice swinging my sword like yesterday."
I started to stand up holding my sword and started swinging it even with my Strength stats increased by 3 it's still a bit heavy.
