"No need. I'm not interested in that kind of thing at all."
Sayu said eagerly:
"Lord Natsuki, what about Invisibility Technique from that ranking?"
Invisibility Technique.
It was considered a particularly powerful skill in player polls. Pinch your nose and hold your breath, and you could turn invisible. While it was active, even the monsters in a dungeon couldn't see you. The downside was how long it lasted: you could stay invisible for only as long as you could hold your breath. And as everyone knew, humans had their limits. Nobody could hold their breath for very long.
Amamiya Natsuki said, "I'll pass on Invisibility Technique. I'm timid in real life, so when I enter a dungeon, I'd rather hit hard."
The girls: "..."
Amamiya Natsuki continued:
"Honestly, I'm more into offensive skills."
Ordinary physical attacks barely did any damage to the ghosts and monsters in dungeons. The only things that could hurt them were items produced by the game. Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help wondering what he'd do if, one day, the game items were sealed away. How would he deal with his enemies then?
Just then, Hayasaka sent a message:
"A couple of days ago, I saw a player draw a skill. I think it was called 'Talent 100%.' It should meet your requirements, senpai."
"Talent 100%?"
Amamiya Natsuki murmured the name, then suddenly remembered Miko's ability, Advanced Spirit Vision Eyes. He wondered whether the two psychic powers might have some special connection.
He entered his password and opened the list of skills players had compiled themselves. It didn't take long for Amamiya Natsuki to find the description.
