Chapter 52
“No, no, no, wait! What is even going on all of a sudden?”
I interrupt Goto, who’s actually getting ready for battle, as if he’s going to test my abilities.
Just what the heck is going on here and just why?
He followed me, said he was going to scout me…and now he’s going to test my skills?
There’s a limit to how selfish you can be damnit.
“I will be going in with serious intentions to defeat you… I won’t kill you… but I will at least go to the point of knocking you out. Therefore, I want you to come at me seriously as well, Shogo-san.”
“Wait a second. Why is the talk suddenly about a testing out my skills and all?”
“It’s to test your skills and strength …I’m coming now!”
Oh God, this guy is just impossible. He doesn’t even understand or seem to comprehend whatever I am saying.
At this point, it’ll be way faster to incapacitate him for once.
I also got into my stance and ready for battle, too, and Goto-san grinned slyly at me.
“Here I come …Skill, Eclipse!!”
As soon as Goto released his skill.
Immediately after, my vision blacks out.
All light whatsoever left, I could not see even a singly thing.
“Wha–What is this?”
“It’s my skill. With this, I cam capable on taking away a target’s vision …so here I come!!”
I felt Goto closing in.
I lightly shift my back’s position and dodged Goto’s attack.
and as I did, I felt something pass right in front of my face.
It was probably Goto’s right leg.
“Hoh… to be able to evade that one as well. All while you are deprived of your vision.”
“…”
“Just how in the world did you do that?”
“Even though I couldn’t see it, I can sense its presence.”
“…I see.”
I heard Goto puff out a breath as if he was impressed.
“I think I understand why you became an intermediate level explorer in one day.”
Immediately after, Goto’s presence approaches again.
All right, maybe it’s about time I fight back.
I lightly threw a spinning kick toward the approaching Goto’s presence.
Doggotto!!
“Go–ho-!?”
Hit.
Goto’s body was blown away.
Since I went easy on him, there shouldn’t be that much damage to him.
At the most, his bones are just cracked.
“Skill Canceller!”
Before Goto could reawaken, I used the skill canceller to cancel out his skill.
Immediately, my vision returned back to normal.
There, a short distance away, was Goto, kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily.
“Have you finished testing my skills?”
When I asked, Goto gradually stood up and raises his hand.
“I give up. You’re skills are the real deal.”
“…”
“St–still …I was really surprised. To think that you knew a martial art (taijutsu) that could bring out that much power while your vision was still destroyed.”
“…Haah.”
“This explains why you became an intermediate level explorer on your first day of training very well. Although you denied it, it true about the rumor that you destroyed Stampede all by yourself isn’t it?”
“That’s not important at all right now. Rather than that, …just what is wrong with you. First you tailed me, and then you suddenly decided to attack me… If you go any further than this anymore, I am going to consult the police for real, you got it?”
Not wanting to be poked and prodded any further, I motioned to him that I would call the police.
“I’m really sorry, and I apologize for my rudeness. I won’t attack you again in future as well, so please spare me the police.”
“I am really hoping you won’t…really.”
“But what surprised me even more than your physical skills earlier…Shogo. You were actually a double, weren’t you?”
“Yes?”
“My skill… The fact that you canceled it… was the power of your another skill, wasn’t it?”
“…”
“Interesting, really interesting. A skill that renders other skills useless? I had heard in advance that you have the skill to manipulate flames, …but I didn’t realize that you were a double with two skills at your disposal.”
“…”
You know that info as well.
It seems that he has studied about me very carefully.
Well, technically, the ability to control fire was just magic.
“Well then…what do you want to do later after knowing this and after all?”
I ask Goto again.
Sometimes they say they’re going to scout, sometimes they attack.
In the end, what is your goal?
“I’m not lying about the scouting thing at all. But then …I do not have the authority to invite you into the clan Armor in Bronze. My purpose today was simply to assess your abilities and skills. And indeed, my purpose was met well and clear enough.”
“You mean you were able to determine the extent of my strength?”
“Yeah. Just the fact that you turned out to be a double is a positive outcome. I will report this to my superiors and ask them to decide whether or not to officially recruit you.”
“…I see. You are going to report this to your boss?”
“Yeah, well, I’ll be on my way now.”
“Hey, wait right there.”
No way was I going to let this go.
This Goto guy had tailed me, attacked me, and now he was going to tell his boss and others the wrong information that I was a double.
This is just too much rashness.
All I want to do is to keep a low profile and work as a solo operator.
I can’t let my abilities be known to the public eye.
“I am sorry, but I cant let you report about me to anyone else.”
I’m sorry, but I won’t let anyone else report you.
“Yes..?”
“I’m going to have you forget everything that happened here between us.”
I had to resort in using the memory manipulation magic, which I didn’t want to use.
