"Eh??? [Shooter]???" The priest said my blessing with puzzled face.
All the villager become noisy, this isn't not an applause or praise but an confused for what's the priest thinking, or maybe what's kind blessing I got?
"Priest, what's wrong?" This time, Princess asked directly to the priest.
"I apologize your highness, this is my first time I heard a blessing lika [Shooter] even I don't know if such a blessing like that exist.
"Hmm… [Shooter]…" The princess said. Keep mumbling about that for a little while and then called me.
Then she look at me "Your name is Alivia right?" she asked.
"Yes, your highness" I answered with a bow.
"Could you meet me at chief village house after this? I need something to discuss" The princess said.
"Yes, your highness" I answered and back off to my chair.
Then, blessing ceremonial continued without any applause or praise for me.
After the ceremonial done. I called by a knight, he tell that her highness want to meet me.
I agree and he escort me to chief house. There are some people like a maid and knight who take a break.
I escorted by the knight to second floor of chief village. Until I arrived in front of door the knight knock the door and tell that I have arrived.
The knight allow me to enter and he'll stand guard in front of the door until the meeting end.
I thank to him and enter the room.
There is an conference room, Inside the room has a one long table and 9 chairs for meeting. Some decoration.
I see the princess is sitting opposite to the priest.
"Excuse me" I said after opened the door.
The princess and priest look at me.
"Ahh… Alivia… come here, please have a seat" The pricess said and pointing an chair.
"Thank you your highness" I answered and sit down.
"Alright… This is about your blessing actually… So, the blessing actually we classified by how powerful the blessing is… about your case we didn't except that there are other blessing that still undiscovered" The princess said, even though I want to say that's right because only me who'll receive this blessing.
"So… would you mind if you could give your information about your blessing?" The princess asked to me.
'Wait… is she trying to exploits my personal information?' I thought. I'm only thinking deply while look at princess.
"Ohh… no… We aren't trying to search you weakness… It's only for our classified" Like knew about what I've think, the princess gave a reason.
I thinking deeply again and then ask.
"Would you mind to explain why all blessing has classified?" I asked, only curious, because god that I've meet not give any information about this blessing.
"Ohh… ok… firstly… this is start when war between kingdom occurred. So, we need to classified how powerful someone is… in other word, this class used for count and judge amount of power that have by one kingdom. Also, this is because we need to understand every people power depend on their blessing. Every single people in this kingdom is precious for kingdom safety" As if she really calculate everything that this kingdom has. I consider for a little while and then ask again.
"Is it because kingdom has problem internally and externally?" I asked.
Then the priest startled. Like trying to reach his back, the princess stop him without looking at him.
"Yes… there are some problem occurred in this kingdom" The princess said seriously.
The princess look at the priest and then nodding about something.
"There are a treason problem and invasion from another kingdom" The princess said sadly.
I lean for a little while, honestly this isn't an easy feat to solve two problems that occurred at the same time.
"Alright… could you keep me on first grade?" I decided. I'm also knew that only me who has this blessing.
Then the princess and priest dumfounded for a little while.
"Ehh? Why?" The princess asked.
"Your highness stated that we're on verge of war right? If something like that happen then my skill could become a hidden ace card" I answered.
The princess thinking for a little while and then asked.
"Is it alright? You'll become a humiliation object by other people you know?" The princess asked, probably she afraid about my future.
"Don't worry… I could take care all of them… also if this kingdom Invaded by other kingdom or a treason, your highness could hire me because I've planned to be a mercenary at adventure guild" I answered with a smile and confidence.
"Alright if you insist, and could you tell me description about your blessing?" The princess asked.
"How? I didn't receive any description about my blessing when touch the ball" I answered confusedly, even though I already knew about my blessing, let's said this commoner didn't know anything.
"Sigh… just said a key word 'Xaxius' then the panel-like when you touch the ball like previously will pop put, and why we asked because only you who can see it" The priest said frustratedly.
I shrugged, this is my first time heard about this, I think you can see your status only with that ball.
Then I say 'Xaxius' and a panel pop out in front of me and show my status again.

I surprised at first with new dialogue from panel, but my purpose is to know about my blessing. Then I touch the word [Shooter] and othe panel pop out in front of previous panel.
[Shooter = Give extra damage for projectile attack and have a skill to synthetize a materials]
"It said that shooter give an extra damage for projectile attack such as arrow or stone" I said it while reading it with changing it a little bit information.
"Alright… Priest, please note that" The princess said.
Then the priest take our his book and pen, then write an information that I tell.
"So… could you tell me reason why people want to rebel? Is that a commoner?" Curiously I asked princess.
"That's not a commoner actually who did a treason, that's a noble who wanted it, they are not agree with some policy, they feel like they profit stole away by royal family" The princess said tiredly. I guess they are a people who feel they've quite a big power even suppressed by royal family.
"Could you tell me which noble who planning a treason?" I asked.
"Yes, we're suspecting noble from Hainzel Countdom and we've suspected that they're started made a move, persuade other noble from different territory and also ask for help from Arcadius Empire" Princess said.
"So, that's why you take kids with third grade blessing for war?" I asked, I could see that the priest like try to holding his anger.
The princess stopped for a little while and then answer. "Yes, we don't have any choice than use them to protect this kingdom" Princess said sadly, she don't have any choice than use every single civilian to defend this kingdom.
"Sigh… I just hope you keep this scholar for long term, not only for facing a war" I said while sighed.
***
Our meeting has been going for more than 2 hours, we talk about some problem around this kingdom. Then I ask for leave after I got all information that I need. I just walk to home straight and spent my day at home, with out playing with my friends or did other things. Until dawn and dinner, I just quickly reach to my room.
Right now, I just lie down on my bed, thinking about what happen before and try to digest back all information that I've received from the princess.
"So, the war eventually will happen again even after I reincarnated to this world huh?" I thought to myself. After a while, I reach the my table and put my book and write about this problem.
First, this kingdom facing two biggest problem, treason and invasion from neighbor region.
Second, they didn't know when the treason will be done by Hanziel noble or invasion from Arcadian Empire.
Third, there are some possibility that both treason and invasion will be held at the same time.
'Alright, even though it will be hard time for few next year, hope this village not affected'. I thought.
If I keep hunting and gathering materials, probably I could upgrade my rifle and strength will increase, strong enough to take care one corps.
'Ahh… right… I need to check the dialogue from panel before' I thought and open the panel and look again at that part.
