Sir, I Can't Actually Read My Status Chapter 9

After I met with Nild I was heading to mountain a little away from the Kingdom.

I do not know this place name. It is a mountain with many broad-leaved trees and almost no monsters appear, and I had come here about half a year, but I never encountered anyone until now. It is a perfect place to hide from people and training.

"Well, what should I do today?" (Rai)

To the open place near the summit of the mountain, after warming up I run in one go then I set a tree as an enemy and prepare my lovely sword.

“Fu!” (Rai)

With an exhalation, then I swing my sword

Although it was a thin tree, it seemed to grow st.u.r.dy with a firm root and I felt a stiff resistance when I slash it. I feel as if I had opposed to a monster with a high durability.

“Ooooooooooo!” (Rai)

In that case, to defeat it. I will tear it off.

Change fighting spirits deep within my chest into screams and swing the sword with full power.

Stronger, sharper, faster I swing my sword.

I will do this for about 1 to 2 hours. That is the training I am doing every morning.

Of course, this is a secret. This place itself was told by Rica, and somehow that I am going to this place every morning, but I probably don’t think I’m using it for training.

The reason for keeping it secret is easy. It is embarra.s.sing.

Many people training themselves if they are adventurers.

If you have a sword skill, train your sword. If you have a spear skill, train your spear. If the you have archer skill, train your archery, and so on. Separately, this is not just a battle job, it is probably that chefs train cooking skills and singers are train singing skills to raise their skill levels.
In other words, training refers generally to improvements of skills that you own. As a matter of course, I do not train skills that I don't have.

Practicing skills that I don't have is same as a child under the age of seven who does not know their status. If someone sees a good adult doing such a thing, he will be ashamed to die.

"No no no, I know the possibility of having sword skills is not zero. It is not because training with a sword is amusing, yeah." (Rai)

Think about what I'm doing now, There’s no one to judge me.

"Hoo~, did you train a sword?"

There was a voice to answer my monologue.

Looking back to the voice that surprise me, sitting down on tree stump, old man with an abundant beard near seventy years old, He was looking at me with interest.
"Ho-, How long have you been there?" (Rai)
"Eh? From the start, it is when you have been murmuring about the possibility of a skill while swinging a sword.  –Now, Try to receive my deadly sword, will you?"
"*Gya~*"(Rai)
The old man acts without useless posture and with his refined expression, I overturned and covering my face with my hands.

"Besides, If I'm not mistaken. —-Do you know? There is no way to escape from my skill, Did you do it?"
"Stop! Stop! Please, I beg you stop it!" (Rai)

The old man who holds the stick like a sword and swing it even more. To have him in high spirits. And my heart is torn into pieces.
"Hey hey, I’m getting warmed by this training. I don't always be like this!" (Rai)
"Good. I am also a man. I know how you feel."
"I wanted you to understand how embarra.s.sing it was to be seen by people." (Rai)
"Of course, You know what you did?"
"All right. You're making a quarrels ,Jii-san (Rai)

。
I will not forgive him because he is an old man. Dark history must be buried.
"I mean, Perhaps Jii-San is the person who wants to meet me who Rica was talking about?" (Rai)
"Rica-san?. Ricariana the guild staff, right?"
I nodded.

“Well, if it is then, that is a mistake, Ricariana-san is my acquaintance"
"As expected" (Rai)
To meet people in this place is unthinkable​

I’ve actually forgotten. I was waiting a person came here. I had forgotten about it and I was drowning into training. I am also wrong.

"So, What the h.e.l.l are you doing? And wanted to see me up to such a steep mountain like this" (Rai)
"Ho Ho, that's it. Just looking at your face, It’s almost like my purpose has been reached. Can you tell me your name anyway?"
"It’s Rai. My name is Rai Orgaz." (Rai)
“Rai Orgaz? Um, remember that name. Good. This is what I want to accomplish.
"…… I really don’t understand, Jii-san." (Rai)

If only he wanted to know my name, he would ask Rica.

"As it seems, I was a little worried" (Rai)

After all, this old man who did not know what was the matter that tried to see me. Then he began telling a completely different story after seeing the surroundings while stroking his beard.

"In fact, I'm same as you, I used to train on this mountain before"
"Training?" (Rai)
"In other words, I was raising my skill. Even I look like this, I have agricultural skills"
"No, it seems you look like an old farmer" (Rai)
"Old Farmer! That’s the first time I’ve ever been told.!"
"Really?" (Rai)
"Look at me like this, and I’m rich and wealthy."
"Hmmmm" (Rai)

If I look carefully at his clothes, He certainly uses a superior fabric. Still, it is not dressed in luxury goods that n.o.bility will wear, but it is strong and easy-to-move clothes. There was a large baggage that would be the thing of the elderly next to the stump, but if this Jii-San climbed mountain alone, the amount and contents are. Only look like a farmer stuff.
"After all, I can only see you as an old farmer" (Rai)

"Ah, I see, I see. Well, I was born surely the eldest son of a farmer. I ran away from my house when I was young"

"If the farmer’s heir had farming skills, they would normally do it as they were, but weren’t they ranked too high?" (Rai)
"It ranked A"
"Just do a farming!" (Rai)
If there is agricultural skill holding of rank A, the farmer is safe for several generations, not for life. The field cultivated with the holder of A rank glows golden and hears that they will promise huge harvest until decades up to the abnormality. I would have become the Lord of the Great farmer in my generation.

Well, yes, but I have another skill of A rank. Even you are drawn by those.

“I cannot believe the two of 'A' rank skills”(Rai)

Well, the probability is that one in a million people. I don’t know how much you doubt it. If you’re going to doubt it, may I show you my status?
"Ah~~"
I am concerned about the status of two A rank skills, but it was an offer that I was not able nodded because that my status could not be read.
"No. I’ll believe it without being shown. 'A' rank of two skills. I’m jealous." (Rai)

"Shall we go? Shall we go? You can be more jealous, right? ”
"Is this old man really like this? “(Rai) (Kono jīsan hontōna n’na no?)
No doubt this is the reason that he was forsaken by his family and acquaintance.
"So? The other skill is..?" (Rai)
"Ah. It’s the same swordsmans.h.i.+p skill as you are. ”
"Swordsman skill ……" (Rai)
"Well then, I was a little concerned about you. So I saw it"

When this old man narrows his eyes, he gently observes my body

"I was performing mysterious training. Even if you do such a thing, your skill of the swordsman skill will not rise so much"
"Is that so? “(Rai)

"That’s right. To raise the skill of the swordsman skill, the fastest thing is to repeat the same type of sword. The more sophisticated the type is, the higher the proficiency level will be. Even if you train to hitting the tree just like you do, the skill hardly rises"
"……"(Rai)
I scratched my head

Somehow, maybe.
Right now, have you denied all the decades that I have spent on  to ever?
"What is it? Perhaps you, did not you even know such a thing? ”
"No, I did not know." (Rai)
I was scared to know.
"….My bad, Jii-San. I lied .. I really do not have swordsman skills" (Rai)

"Do not have? Swordsman skills? ”
The old man seemed surprised at the bottom of his mind, made a fearful face.

"Do you train a sword without a swordsman skill? Is there anything meaningful in that action? ”
“… … Maybe I just wanted to believe that it made sense.” (Rai)
As it is, I was sprawled on the ground and rolled around.
“I’m sure I have a swordsman skill. I just wanted to believe that I had the talent of a knight. It’s just that the conditions are the same for other training, so I was only practicing the knight sword. “(Rai)
"A knight? Hey, are you want to be a knight? "
The answer to that question has always been in my mind. It is shameful, and I still think so now.

I want to be a knight. I’ve been longing for a knight.

It’s been a long time since I saw a glorious triumphant knight.

No, I’m sure I longed for a knight before that. From the time that my father, who died in the war, was a knight, taught by a sick mother.
But – the fact is the reality to the last.
My admiration does not become a power to make my dream come true.
I am now the only base adventurer. I can't read my status even today.
"…… I was longing for a knight." (Rai)
That’s why it’s about time I have to give up my dream.
Let go of my sword and stare at the palm of mine.

When I started training my sword, the beans made into my palm and I was covered with blood. That’s why I do over again. Nevertheless, I came back after b.l.o.o.d.y in the next day, so I got angry and did it again with all my might. While such a day continued, my skin became hard and I could not tear it. I remember it being a little proud.
I don’t know. I got a little stronger. I put my heart to someone who made this status.
But … Is that so? Was my training wrong?
“Ha, that’s right. It doesn’t mean anything to me." (Rai)
I really knew that.

Because, it was a story which ended by it if examining it earlier. I would have been able to continue the correct training and realize that I was not going to change anything, so I could give up that I had no skills. But I didn’t do it. I didn’t ask anyone to do the right thing, and I didn’t look it up.

I kept swinging around the sword without meaning for a long while, continuing to stick to such a controversy as to not being able to read the status.
"…… Everything was in vain? (Rai)
But, after all, what I’ve been doing is a waste of effort.
I was born with such a status, but I was overlooked to be a knight.
If I admit it more quickly … ….

“No, it is not in vain”

The Jii-San is a reb.u.t.tal to my murmur to catch my surprise.

“Certainly, it will be the height of whims to do the training of the skill which does not have. But it’s not completely wasted."

"What do you mean? "(Rai)
My body is woking up to Jii-San in a surprising word.

As far as I know, there should be no meaning in the training of the skill that I do not have. I hear that it is possible to acquire the experience value somewhat, and it is the same even if it lives a normal life. Just living, a person can get only a small amount of experience.
However, Jii-San who is alive many times by me, so recent young people have seen me with the eyes that I told them to say.
“As you know, the ability value of the status rises overall by raising the level of individual differences. Then, you can increase the ability value by moving the body while putting the load on the ability value without raising the level. However, it is only a little compared with the increase in the ability value of the level up, and the ability value rises which does not level up will return to the original as soon as the body is rested without continuing the training. ” (TLN: In short, experience rise, level not)
“In other words, what about my decade?” (Rai)
"I think is not in vain. I will guarantee it. ”
"…… Even Jii-San who I just met is guaranteed.” (Rai)

I’m not happy. But I felt saved.

I still feel like I was told that you could aim at be a knight.
"It’s not a waste, is it? …… Well, I only know how doing this, and maybe I have this way." (Rai)
"What is the skill of such a rough training? "

"-Come on. I don’t know either." (Rai)

"That’s it. You’re a strange little boy."
When I got up, I picked up my sword and put it back to my waist.

“Hey, Jii-San, I do not know anything about your real purpose, but it was bad to damage the training ground. I will look for another place from tomorrow.” (Rai)

"I hope you will come here tomorrow without worrying. The agricultural skill increases the level of proficiency by cultivating the earth and enriching it. If the land is rough, the effect is high as it is rough. For the part you damage​d, let ‘s leave it back.It’s going to be a good training."

“If that’s the case, I’ll let you bother me again. I’ve been trained in some mountains outside of this mountain, but the trees here are just the best. “(Rai)

“Well, it’s a tree that I raised with all my heart to help my acquaintance with my fighting skills. You’ll have to take a sword to slash it."
"…… I’ve cut down on a tree like that. “(Rai)

“Do not worry .- Please be diligent, young man, you have quite some sort of bright future.”
“Even so, as expected of old man”(Rai)
I raise my hand to a marvelous Jii-San who smiles gently, I try to leave the training ground.
“Okay, there was something I had to tell him one more thing”
Before that I will be called down by an old man.
The old man was watching me with a keen eyes. It is like a blade. It seems like a fake sword that will be torn apart if you touch it.
“I told swordsman skill 'A' rank, that’s a lie.”
“Ha !?” (Rai)
Then what was the previous exchange! Is not it totally useless!
“Please forgive – I thought I’d give up on my dream once and for sure.” (Rai)
“I think you could have recognized that you couldn’t give up. I wonder if my lie had any meaning. It’s not really a waste of things. That’s what it is. ”

“… … Exactly”(Rai)
An old man who strokes his beard laughs completely out of toxicity. It was such an old man who attracted people with wonder.
“I think there is some truth in what Jii-San says. My decade is not a waste. I’m sure it’s just a little closer to the dream… ." (Rai)
I’m not sure. There is no proof. It must not be proved to anyone in this world.

I can’t read the status. I believe in a good future like an idiot today, and keep running recklessly.

“Well, for that reason I will keep doing my best today,” (Rai)
I will say good-bye to Jii-San this time and start descending down the mountain to return to the kingdom.

As usual the feet that are dull due to the tiredness of training, I felt light today. Comfortable feel like the skill level reaches 100 for the first time. In fact, I don’t know the feeling, but I’m sure that the feeling that one effort paid off is such a thing.
I got it. My dream is to be laughed at a lot like today, but I’m not bothering anyone. No one is guilty.
I'm seriously aware that I should give up, although the possibility of getting ahead is very low though.
"I want to be a knight." (Rai)
That’s my wish. My goal.

It’s a reckless dream for an Eternal E-rank adventurer.
But that’s my dream. Believe that the road you have walked is followed by its dreams.
“Look at me now – oh!” (Rai)

Let’s go out for adventure today!
