Analysis Level 3

Then, the topic naturally turned to the points they had earned in the werewolf battle.

Nao seemed to be having trouble deciding what to do with the large number of points she had earned.
Up until now, the only way she could earn points was by leveling up. In the face of the huge number of options suddenly presented to her, she seemed at a loss as to where to start.
Akira, while thinking about how to use his points, saw her like that and couldn't help but call out to her.

"……For now, you might as well use it for Auto Regen, right? The initial acquisition point is 7, which is relatively cheap considering the effect of the skill, and the unique skill you get in the scenario prevents you from dying as long as you have the will to fight, but it doesn't heal wounds. Your right arm is still broken, so I think you need to have a skill for healing injuries."
"Yeah…… Well, that's certainly true. ……Okay, I'll grab Auto Regen for now."

With that, Nao moved her hands, which had been stopped.
It appeared that she had successfully obtained Auto Regen, and Nao began to think about how to use the remaining points again.
Akira looked away from Nao and looked at the list of skills he could acquire that was spread out in front of him.

(After the werewolf battle, I currently have 62 points. If I wanted to upgrade my skills, I could, but I don't think I have enough. ……The points needed to upgrade Physical Strengthening are……40?)

As one would expect, the more you upgraded your skills, the more points you needed. For that reason, the benefits you gained from your skills were greater, but your opportunities to acquire new skills were reduced.

(The skill that interests me the most out of the skills I can acquire is the 『Life Awakening』 skill, which I can get by spending 50 points. It increases the person's stats by an amount equal to the skill level x 50% of the person's stats at the moment of acquiring the skill. Still, it's pretty nice to see a percentage increase in stats. If you've properly raised your stats, you can expect a great effect.)

However, the problem was the large number of points consumed to acquire the skill.

Perhaps it was something that would have a powerful effect if acquired after achieving incredibly high stats. Although he had repeatedly increased his level up to this point, he still could not be careless when it came to the strength of the monsters that appeared in this world.
Rather than acquiring this skill here and now, it would seem better to use the points to upgrade the level of the skills he already had.

"Hmm……mmm."

Level up or learn new skills?
Akira, who had been thinking about this, eventually concluded.

"……Alright. For now, let's raise the skill level of Magic Regen."

From what he had learned so far, it would take a day just to recover one point of magical power at Magic Regen level 1.
The magical power he used in the werewolf battle was 5. Since he spent points in the middle of the battle to increase his magical power, the amount of magical power he actually consumed would be even greater than that.
If it took several days to defeat a single boss and restore all of your magical power, the monsters would quickly become stronger. Even if he defeated the bosses and lowered the world inversion rate, he would not be able to make use of the time he had earned.

(The points required to reach the next level of Magic regen are 20, and I don't have that many yet. I'll leave it at level 2 for now.)

Akira raised the skill level of his Magic regen while muttering to himself. After clearing the screen with a swipe of his hand, he started thinking about how to use the remaining points.

(Come to think of it, the werewolf was using some kind of skill-like power……)

The use of skills by monsters, something unprecedented in previous battles.
This time they managed to do something, but things may not always go so smoothly in the future. If they were not careful, they would have to go back from the dead to figure out the boss's skills in order to defeat him―― Such a scenario was likely to happen.

(……If I increase the level of analysis, will I be able to see the skills they have? )

If you knew in advance what skills the boss had, you could respond without any panic even if they used a skill in the middle of the battle.
Akira thought about that.

"…………Shall I raise it?"

After a little thought, Akira decided to raise the level of Analysis.
The points required to raise the Analysis level to 2 were 5. Once he had successfully increased his skill level, the points required to level up again were set at 10.

(……Compared to other skills, it's easy to increase the level of Analysis.)

Akira spent more points to further increase the level of Analysis.

"……Hm? "

Suddenly, a sound escaped from Akira's mouth. This was because the number of points indicating a further increase in skill level had disappeared from the skill details screen.

(Did I reach the maximum skill level? )

That's a possible scenario.
Akira waved away the details screen with his hand, and when he had finally finished spending his points, he turned his gaze to Nao, who looked like she had breathed a sigh of relief.

(For now, will this allow me to see other people's skills? I'll just have to try it out…… 『Analysis』)

Akira whispers in his mind, causing Nao's status screen to appear.

Items that were not visible before were displayed, and Akira confirmed that he could indeed see the skills possessed by the person he was analyzing. At the same time, Akira's eyebrows furrowed slightly at the unfamiliar word “Magical Element” displayed on the screen.

(Magical Element? That's a word I'm seeing for the first time…… If you simply think about the meaning of the word, I suppose it means the source of magical power, but…… Since we humans don't have magical powers to begin with, does that mean we don't have this Magical Element either? )

Although he was still curious about the meaning of the word “crystal”, seeing the words “0%” and “no”, he probably didn't have to worry about it at the moment.
Akira, having considered this, switched his train of thought and looked at Nao's status screen again.

(Hmm…… I guess she got Auto Regen and raised the levels of all her skills.)

It would seem that Nao decided to continue casting magic from the back line for the time being.
Furthermore, it appeared that she had invested most of the points she had acquired into magical power, and that value had reached three digits.

(Magical power over 100……? Even before, her magical power was considerable, but what would happen if she raised her magical power to this level? )

Akira couldn't help but think about it.
Until now, the only magic that Nao had used was Shock Arrow, a magic that inflicted a powerful impact. The power of the spell was so great that it seemed like even a small amount of magical power would be plenty, so it was hard to imagine how powerful the spell would be with magical power this high.
Furthermore, by raising the level of her beginner magic, Nao should probably be able to use new magic.
What kind of magic could it be, and what kind of power would it have?
Akira shuddered involuntarily as he imagined the unknown magic unleashed with such magical power.
