I’m heading out to search for Blue Slimes with Kuro, my new ally. After a while, we found two Blue Slimes.
“I’ll try out some Green Magic. Kuro, I’ll attack one with magic, so you take the other. Show me what you’ve got.”
Kuro nods enthusiastically. With the enhancement through magic power supply, he should be a match for a normal Blue Slime. I’ve already learned some basic Green Magic from Melfina. I only have enough MP left for one more attack with Kuro’s contract and summon, but I have recovery items, so I should be able to manage against slimes.
“Wind Blade!”
Rank F Green Magic, [Wind Blade]. A spell that generates small wind blades to attack a target. While its power is low, it’s a good convenient spell that can launch invisible attacks at a low cost. The wind blade sliced through the Blue Slime, killing it in one hit.
“Kuro, go!”
Kuro sprints at incredible speed and charges at the Blue Slime. The charge sent the opponent flying and knocked it down. His speed is completely different from before his contract. I wonder if the increase rate for S-Rank summons is this large.
『With an S-Rank summon, all stats receive a +100 bonus.』
W-what, 100!? I check Kuro’s Status with Appraisal Eye.

He’s too strong… No wonder Summoners are valued by the country. He’s this strong with a Level 1 slime as a subordinate. If deployed in the military, he’d be an immediate asset.
『There is a slight correction. Currently, you are the only one who possesses S-Rank Summoning Magic. Others barely reach B-Rank or C-Rank, with enhancement values of around +10 to +20. Simply having slimes as subordinates does not make them immediately useful.』
Seriously? It’s pretty broken to have this skill at Level 1. Besides, isn’t this the first time Melfina has praised me? I’m a little happy.
After a while, just as Kuro defeated the third Blue Slime, a fanfare rang out. Is this it! The classic thing, right!? A status screen appears before my eyes.

Whoa, thanks to my passive skills, my growth is remarkable! This is great news for me, as I plan to consume MP like crazy. I also received 100 skill points.
『Please navigate to the Skills section from your status screen. You can acquire new skills by using skill points.』
“By the way, are status screens generally known in this world? It just popped up when I leveled up.”
『They are known. The system is designed so that you can bring them up by thinking of “Status.” From this screen, you can check your own status, acquire skills, and manage your party. However, you cannot view other people’s status screens.』
So, I need Appraisal Eye to see other people’s status. Still, it’s surprising how game-like elements have become so ingrained in this world. Do people not find it strange when they’ve lived like this since birth?
“Well then, let’s look at the skills.”
I open the skill section from the status screen. Skill names, effects, and required points fill the screen. How many are there in total?
『Not all skills are displayed yet. There are also skills that cannot be acquired without meeting certain conditions.』
“But I could acquire Summoning Magic normally.”
『That was not normal; it was a special arrangement. The skill options you chose before reincarnation were a kind of bonus.』
“So, there’s no bonus in this world. Well, it can’t be helped.”
I have Kuro keep watch of our surroundings while I quickly scan through the skills.
“…Hey, aren’t the required skill points pretty low? Rank F skills are only 10 points.”
『Skill points consist of innate talent points and growth points obtained upon leveling up. These values differ for each person, but typical innate talent points are 50, and growth points are 5.』
“Wait, my growth points are 100. Even considering doubling, that number is absurd.”
『By the way, the points used before reincarnation were talent points. Depending on the skill, the approximate required points are: Rank F – 10, Rank E – 20, Rank D – 40, Rank C – 80, Rank B – 160, Rank A – 320, and Rank S – 640. You must acquire them in order from lower ranks, so it takes a total of 1270 points to acquire an S-Rank skill.』
“…So, an ordinary person can only acquire up to Rank B even at Level 100.”
『…That is correct.』
“…I possess two S-Rank skills at Level 1.”
『…Well, you also sacrificed memory.』
So, this is how I’ve become this overpowered, stacked with cheat abilities. I want to believe that all isekai people in this world are bugged. Though I don’t know if there are any others.
『This is only for ordinary people. Some are feared as non-humans or Demon Kings.』
I’ll try not to think about it. The increase in stats is insignificant compared to skills. As long as I don’t do anything strange, I won’t stand out. For now, I’ll decide on acquiring skills when I get back and can check them slowly. I’ll direct Kuro as we head towards the remaining subjugations.
