Chapter 234
(234) Suzuki’s job lecture
Translator: Tseirp
At any rate, this guy Suzuki is quite familiar with fighting .
If we looked at just the status, I was clearly better than him . Naturally, I had more skills compared to him as well .
But the number of Thieves we defeated was about equal .
The Holy Knight seems to be similar to Sword Saint, or it might be a superior job above that of Sword Saint and the skills acquired may be rather strong, but his fighting style had minimal wasteful movements . He had probably been through numerous battlefields . My fighting style was mostly focused on bulldozing my way through using my status so I guess this would be the result of fights with predefined conditions such as these .
Miri would probably fight even better than me or Suzuki .
That was likely to be the adverse effects of my Growth Cheat and Jobless Cheat .
Since I would win even without thinking, I seem to have neglected battle tactics .
“What are you thinking about?”
“I was wondering if Death Warrior-sensei was currently looking through the doujinshi you left in the room . ”
“Buh! Amazing, Kusunoki-kun . You plan to corner me mentally so that you can defeat the boss first, right?”
“I would be running at full speed if that was my intention . Since I seem that I am faster . Probably thanks to the speed up skills that I possess . ”
“Uwah, just how many skills do you have? Even though I was confident in my leg speed . ”
Nevertheless, Suzuki was amazing as well given how he was not out of breath either .
I assumed only Haru would be able to follow my current speed .
“Enough skills to acquire the Skill Organization skill . ”
“Yeah, I have that many as well — ah, there’s a trap there so be careful . ”
The floor below my feet sunk the moment Suzuki said that .
At the same time, an arrow came flying toward me from the front .
“Uoo . ”
I instinctively avoided it . The arrow flew past where my head was at and disappeared into the distance .
“You didn’t have to avoid it that excessively . ”
“It would be scary if it was poisoned … or rather, there’s no way I could still consciously think of how much to avoid it by when it was an actual surprise attack . Leaving that aside, you could tell that there was a trap?”
“Trap Detection is an indispensable skill to an adventurer? You didn’t learn it?”
” … Yeah, I didn’t . How do you learn it?”
“No idea . Erm, you have to attend a workshop by the Adventurers Guild . It cost 30,000 sense though . ”
“It’s possible to learn a skill from a workshop?”
“Er, by attending the workshop and passing the test, it would unlock the Trapper job and you can acquire the Trap Detection skill after reaching Trapper Lv3 . A Trapper can gain experience just from disassembling and assembling traps so once you become a Trapper, you can just repeatedly disassemble and assemble the traps . ”
“Wait, it is possible to change job just by passing a test?”
“Kind of . Since Ichinojo-kun has a growth cheat job, do you have any titles that are the Peak of something?”
“Yeah, I do . ”
They were the titles I received after reaching level counter-stop .
Although, until now, I still did not know the exact effects of the titles .
“Once you get a job called the Instructor, you will learn a skill to set questions for an exam to acquire the jobs that you have reached the peak for . With that skill, you will be able to set the exam for specific people . The job will be unlocked for them if they can pass that exam . Naturally, the advance jobs will have difficult exam contents and I heard that there are some exams where nobody have passed before . ”
So there was such a system .
I totally did not know that .
“Incidentally, how does one become an Instructor?”
“You can become an Instructor by taking an exam . ”
The Instructor, which can set exams for others, have to take an Instructor exam to become one; in that case, how did the Instructor who set the questions for the Instructor exam become an Instructor in the first place? It became a philosophical question but I guess the first person most likely possessed a Unique job .
I see, so there was such a trick .
By the way, the exam to become a Trapper was to disassemble a smoke bomb made by a Trapper .
A novice would not be able to disassemble it but it seemed that there was a 30% chance of passing if one worked hard on studying during the workshop .
30% was quite severe — it was at the level of the exams for difficult colleges but thinking about it, Suzuki was the son of a doctor .
Furthermore, I heard from him during the voyage that before transferring to this world, it was his dream to become a doctor and his acceptance rate for famous medical colleges was determined to be an A grade so exams and lectures were probably his strong points .
I would most likely fail if I took them .
Nevertheless, so jobs can be unlocked by taking exams .
“In other words, I can think of them as the human-version of the Initiation Bosses?” (TLN: Ie . the punching kangaroo which he got a job from by defeating it . )
“Yeah, you can think of it that way . The Initiation Bosses are a lot rarer though . It is impossible to cheat for the exams so they are apparently quite difficult . Ah, but I believe Kusunoki-kun would pass the combat-type exams . ”
“I see . By the way, what kind of exam did you take to become a Holy Knight?”
“Hahaha, there are no exams to take to become a Holy Knight . Let me see … to become a Holy Knight, you have to reach Knight Lv50 and be a noble?”
“Eh? But one can only be born into nobility right? How did you become a noble?”
“You can become a noble if a king or pope award you with a knighthood . Transported individuals who are recognized to be useful are treated as a guest by the Church Headquarters and recognized as Otherworld Nobles . Didn’t you hear from the Church?”
I didn’t hear about it . Or rather, I never changed job in a Church in the first place .
Malina, similarly a Japanese … was probably ignored by the Church since her Street Performer job could not be changed . While Miri … I don’t know her thinking .
Ah, but since Daijiro-san partied with the Hero, he might have been treated as a guest noble .
Incidentally, after hearing that, I made sure to avoid the Church Headquarters as much as possible .
I could not become a noble — once my first job changes into Noble, I would not be able to use my Jobless cheat any further .
I was thinking to myself when we reached a large door .
There was no mistaking it, there was a huge presence behind the door .
“Now then, it will be a competition once the door opens . ”
“Yup, may the best man win . ”
We opened the door and standing within was —
An enormous Elephant man standing on two feet .
… Eh? The enemy boss was an elephant?
