How to use points ②

(It would be much better if I could get a trophy that would increase my magical power value.)



　Even as he thought about this, Akira spent one point on magical power.





(……Huh? )





　And then, as he did so, he suddenly felt something strange happening on the status screen.



(The magical power value has increased by three……? )



　The number of points consumed was one, but the number rose by three. Apparently, the status values that would increase with the consumption of points were more than those for a level-up.



(……I see. You mean that you can get a more explosive increase by allocating points to the status you want to develop, rather than accumulating points for skills?)



　In the long run, it would seem better to allocate them to skills, but the amount of increase in status due to skills and level increases was fixed. As a result, certain statuses would have a tendency to grow more than others, but by converting points earned in this way into statuses, it would be possible to change the statuses to one's liking.





(If you want to increase your vitality, put it under Stamina; if you want the power to surpass the monster's endurance, put it under Strength; and if you want your body to be strong enough to take a monster's blow, put it under Endurance―――― and so on. You build yourself to your own liking. This point has shown that factor.)





　In his life so far, he had categorized the points as being for skills only because he had benefited so much from them.

　But from here, perhaps he could assign points to status depending on the situation.

　Akira thought about this as he stared at the last remaining point on the screen, namely, a number 1.





(For now, let's use the remaining point for magical power, too.)





　As Akira so concluded, he spent one more point and assigned it to the magical power value.

　Staring at his own status screen that had been completed, Akira nodded once, as if in satisfaction.

(With a large amount of points, you could enhance it a lot. And if so, you wouldn't lose to any of those monsters.)



　Muttering in his mind, Akira waved off the status screen with his hand.

　Akira then looked up at the ceiling in a daze as he let his Auto Regen skill heal his body.

　As he did so, a question occurred to him.





(……Come to think of it, Nao-san was still fighting monsters before I woke up, right?　I wonder what level is she at now?)





　Glancing over, Akira looked at Nao, who was sleeping.

　If he was dealing with a monster, he could use the skill 『Analysis』 to see his opponent's status.

　But what if he faced a human being?

　Could you really see it the same way as the monsters?



(It said that the skill effect of Analysis was effective for living organisms, but I'm not sure…… Let's give it a try.)



　Akira slowly mouthed the word.





"Analysis."



　――A moment later, the screen opened in front of Akira.

　 ――――――――――――――――――



　Individual information: Cannot be displayed due to insufficient level



　 ――――――――――――――――――



　Possessed skills: Cannot be displayed due to insufficient level



　 ――――――――――――――――――







(I guess it works, even if the other party is a human.)



　Looking at the displayed screen, Akira mumbled in his mind.

　Akira then stared at the screen and thought to himself.





(Level 16 is higher than I expected. Oh, no, that's right. So now it's after the monsters have been strengthened. The goblins' levels are also higher than they were before the strengthening. If I were to deal with goblins after the strengthening, would it take me about two days to get to that level?　I don't know what skills she's acquired, but she's gained a lot of Strength, Endurance, and Speed…… And, looking at the displayed magical power status, I'm pretty sure that Nao-san has acquired the 『Physical Strengthening』 and 『Magical Circuit』 skills.)





　The earlier the Magical circuit is acquired, the higher the Magical power value will be according to the level.

　I don't know if Nao got that information when the internet was available, but I would say that acquiring Magical circuit this early is definitely a great skill choice.



(But that doesn't balance out the rest of the points…… What skills did she acquire? )



　Calculating the points gained from leveling up and the points expended in acquiring those two, the skill Nao has acquired would be any of the skills that could be obtained by expending seven points.



(Same as me, Auto Regen…… I guess.)



　From Nao's point of view, who could not return from death, it was certain that she would never want to die.

　If so, it would not be surprising if she had acquired a skill such as Auto Regen, which healed her own physical wounds.



(Well, I'll ask her when she wakes up.)



　Akira considered this, and then waved his hand to turn off Nao's status screen.

　Then, Akira blinked several times as his eyelids felt heavy with sleep, and gave one big yawn.





(I have nothing to do until my body recovers…… I might as well sleep for a bit.)





　Muttering in his mind, Akira closed his eyelids.

　Even though the world had drastically changed with the appearance of monsters, the room was bathed in gentle afternoon sunlight, exactly as it had been a few days before, and a gentle breeze made the curtains sway slightly.

　Perhaps the fact that his Stamina itself had declined as a result of the full wounds he had sustained also played a part?

　With the warm air and fresh breeze, sleepiness soon followed.

　Within a few minutes, two peaceful sleeping breaths slowly filled that room.
