"What am I, wrong?"
"Instead of answering you Great Hero, let me ask you a question what do you think is Sir William and madam Joan magical aptitudes"
"Huhh... I mean they both are the strongest people of this nation right."
"Yes, you are correct they both have an unfathomable strength enough for them to be two of the strongest people on the continent"
"Then shouldn't their magical aptitudes be of rare elements, and they should have more than one element to boost right"
To this pope shook his head in denial.
"No, Great Hero, Sir William has a wind element whereas Madam Joan have only one rare element"
To this revelation everyone made a confused look. They didn't know what to make of it. They all thought maybe they are just that strong but no matter what they couldn't say it out loud because they knew there is one more factor or maybe the only factor that determines the power of an individual in this world.
"Then is there something else that determines one's strength"
"Yes, Great Hero those what we call SKILLS"
Skills, a fantasy word back on earth, is the reality of this world here, where everyone is born with mana not everyone is born with a Skill. Skills are the determined at random from birth and sometimes they are not even useful at all towards the user, but nevertheless they are the deciding factor in this world, for instance if two people are trying to learn martial arts and one of them have the martial arts skill then the time taken for the one who has the skill is one tenth to the time taken for someone who don't have the skill to learn martial arts, if you are born with a right skills, you can be whatever you want.
But, as said before not everyone is born with skills roughly half the population is born with some skill, and they were assigned skills randomly at birth. There were many skills that didn't seem to have any practical uses like dishwashing, cross-dressing, speedy dressing to name a few, Skills themselves are differentiate between in five Ranks they are—
S Rank, A Rank, B Rank, C Rank, D Rank Skills.
The likelihood of being given a skill differed depending on the rank. Theoretically, it was possible to be born with a skill from every rank. But the odds of getting an S-Rank skill alone were one in one hundred million, that means the probability of being born with a skill from all five ranks or even possessing two S-Rank skills was…
…one in one billion.
Most people were born with only a single D-Rank skill. As such chances of getting a S-Rank or A-Rank skills are very low the odds of getting a A-Rank skill is one in one million and B-Rank skill is one in one hundred thousand, but there are always exception to whom these rules doesn't work on, one of them being, The Hero.
"So, do we have these, Skills?"
Agawa, asked the question that was on everyone's mind, did they have what it takes to save the world or not.
"Of course, Great Hero you do Possess these skills, since you are new to this world you haven't noticed but I possess a A-rank Skill called Analyze eye which allows me to see the status of an individual and yesterday I was able to see your status when you hadn't manifested your skills and magic but now, I am not able to do so"
Tch, So, that means he already knew what skills we all have and if he couldn't see the skills of Agawa then Agawa must have some skill to ward it off, so from start it wasn't any use hiding something from him.
Kelly clicked his tongue when he understood that he couldn't hide anything from the pope, his status is bare for the pope to see as he pleases.
Looks like there is no privacy laws in this world
"Aside from you I can see everyone's status, they all possess Skills, many of you even have more than three Skills"
When the pope said that everyone sighed in relief, they couldn't afford to have no Skills when their life may be in potential danger after a moment, they all rejoiced and asked the same question just How can they get more skills?
