"???" Vinny widen her eyes when she saw this strange panel that appeared in front of her
"What is this!? This isn't how [Observation] Work!" Vinny exclaim in disbelief, In the past, whenever she used her spell [Observation], Usually all the information she needed will be inserted inside her mind instead of showing it right in front of her like, right now
which explain why she said that when she saw a strange blue panel that appeared in front of her which showed all the needed information instead of it being directly inserted inside her mind which can cause quite a headache
"And what is this drop rate? I don't recalled something like this" Vinny exclaim, she never heard of this Drop Rate before
"Is this what the Prophecy meant? 'The Hero from another world will Change the people in unique ways' I guess this is the uniqueness the Hero from another world brought to this world" Vinny nodded having figure out the answered she wanted
It seems the Hero from another world had change this world to some degree,
"[Observation]" Vinny casted and glare at the Drop Rate
"Interesting, I didn't Chant this time but it still work" Vinny exclaim, she read the explanation on the blue panel and nodded in understanding
her skill [Observation] has to be chanted to activate it but now she just needed to say its Name without the need to chant anymore
"In just a few weeks, the Hero from another world had brought great changes to this world" Vinny said with a hint of happiness in her tone, Now she doesn't have to Chant those lengthy words everytime she needed to use them, she could also use it in Battle to gain information without her having a headache

Vinny eyes wide at the new panel that appeared in front of her "It even change my other skill" Vinny muttered and press the accept button on the panel, < Completed > "*Vinny-Sama..*" -Unknown "*what is it?*" -Vinny "*Subject 723 has awaken and escape her chamber*" -Unknown "*I be right there*" -Vinny "[Teleportation]" Vinny casted directly, not bothering to chant her spell anymore, since she could cast [Observation] Without the need to chant then what's the problem with not chanting [Teleportation], she could just say its name and Bam! It will magical work without the need to Chant those lengthy words A Magic circle materialise below her feet and glow a blue light, Vinny stare at this scene with a satisfied smile "Mmm..I feel like I forgot something—" -Vinny *Woooosh* The blue light enguffed her completely, teleporting her to somewhere else, as she disappear from her previous place. ..... {Back to the present} {With Hiko} *WOOOOOSH* Hiko fly above the tree, reaching near the speed of sound, Behind her we could see Zero desperately trying to catch up with her Zero materialise a ice platform under her feet, just enough for it to withstand her weight, acting as a platform which help her catch up with Hiko but not enough to over take her or be on her side "Come on Zero! Why are you so slow!" Hiko exclaim and flew even faster just to mess with her Zero stare at Hiko fleeing figure. Zero immediately sprinted even faster just to catch up with Hiko, "Aren't you a Grade B? Why are you so Slow!" Hiko questioned with a confuse tone, while secretly feeling proud at being faster then Zero "My apologies, my lord" Zero apologies with a hint of shame in her tone "It fine," Hiko forgive and didn't continue. Hiko stare at the transparent panel in front of her. [ Training Ground: 4,000 Meters away ] Hiko close the panel and flied even faster almost reaching the speed of sound, The Speed of Sound is 343 Meters per second and her speed reach about 340 meters per second. Zero seeing that Hiko is leaving her behind, immediately sprinted even faster to catch up with her With that the two of them finally reach the training ground in just 14 Second "Let's see..." Hiko narrow her eyes and search for Freya dead body above the training ground while warning Zero not to go down. Below them, she could see the training ground burning with the Purple flame standing tall with no intention of disappearing "There she is!" Hiko shouted and dive down without hesitation *Bang!* Dust scattered everywhere, Hiko walked forward splitting the dust she made "Analyse her" Hiko exclaim A Panel Appeared [Power Level: Nonexistent Abnormality: [ 0000 ] Title: [Personal Maid Of The Yokai Clan] Name: Freya Garland Age: 32 Years Class: Battle Maid, Bloodline: None Race: [Enhance Human] HP: 0 / 100,000 {-40%} Mana: 15,338 / 50,000 {-40%} Strenght: 0 {-40%} Agility: 0 {-40%} Defense: 0 {-40%} Offense: 0 {-40%} Intelligence: 0 {-40%}.....{More}] "Eh?"

Oh! I remember now!" Hiko said as she recalled the time, she edited and rewrote the script so that the drop rate is fair for every player "Hehehehehehe! Thankfully I had intentionally made a glitch that no one knows about!" Hiko Chuckle with a mischievous grin Hiko raise her right hand above Freya chest *Splash* She stabbed her hand against Freya chest, piercing it through with a bit of difficulty "There's the heart" Hiko muttered, she remember that she added a heart in every NPC and Monster just so she could use this glitch that no one knows about, although the heart she made is really ugly She original made it so that she could feel like she's the main character that has some kind of cheat that no one knows about Fortunately no one in the game company notice this glitch or else she would have gotten fired or even be demoted *Splash!* She squish the ugly heart into muss and a new panel immediately appeared in front of her " Ding!

Why is there a Cursed that make you Allergic to Fire?!' Hiko shouted in her mind, she shake her head and decided not to think about it anymore "Let's go to my Room!" Hiko declare and immediately fly above the tree "Wait for me! My Lord!" Zero followed Hiko and activated her ice Platform to catch up and also to avoid the poisonous tree below them ... It took them more then 18 second to reach Vinny Personal Mansion and another 18 second to get inside Hikos room without anyone seeing or noticing their presence, thanks to Zero Active Skill [Stealth], Which made both of them almost invisible to anyone below Grade B Organism or Skill "I thought Stealth is useless but you prove me wrong" Hiko exclaim, she seat on the bed and tangle her leg "Thank you for your Complement, My Lord" Zero Thanked Hiko "Now I kinda regret not keeping Mask Of Stealth, safe inside the Inventory it could have become more useful in the future" Hiko exclaim recalling the mask being burned by the Fire /// Heh. In the Future you will regret it even more! This is what you get for calling it useless! "Achooo!" -Hiko "My Lord are you okay!"
