In My Second Life, I Could See My Skills, so the More I Trained, the More Peerless I Became

What was missing

“I would like to thank you for your help. If you hadn’t helped me then, I don’t know where I would be now. I can’t thank you enough because of that.”

As soon as I was discharged from the hospital after recovering from my injuries, which required a full day’s recovery, I went with my father to the Kobayashi family to thank them. 

After my father expressed his gratitude, he said, “Yasu, you must have something to say, too.”

“Ara ara~ You’re such a smart kid.”

“Smart? Yasushi?”

You’re so rude. I graduated from college in my previous life!

I’m a college graduate, but I can’t help it if I’m hitting my head on a big wheel, and I’m not even aware that I have a good day-to-day life to begin with. Yeah, I guess I deserved it.

“That’s right. Since you’re here, why don’t you have some sweets?”

“No! No, I—”

“Hey! Eat!”

I was about to say no, but my father interrupted me.

And so, we ate sweets with Ichika-chan. After that, we all played cards and stuff, and in the end we promised to play again tomorrow.

I’m not sure if you can call this a childhood friendship at all. 

I was going to do some muscle training and run on the way home, but my father slapped me and said, “You’ve just gotten better, so you should be more careful!” 

◇

Today I woke up at six in the morning. I ran for two hours, ate breakfast, and went to the park where I met Ichika the day before yesterday.

I did dragon flags, pull-ups, and squats.

When I got tired, I practiced my magic and observed the people in the park with my Appraisal.

After two more hours, Ichika-chan came to the park.

“Yasushi-kun! What’s that?”

“Oh, Ichika-chan. What do you mean? Oh, you can see this?”

I was playing with magic power when I saw her arrive.

I tried rolling it around, crawling it around like a slug, trying to sit on it, but it wasn’t hard enough so I fell on my butt as I tried to wrap it around my body.

“Why does it look like that? What’s that weird light purple thing?”

Seriously, she can indeed see. 

It is a gamble. My manipulation of magic power was inexplicable and I am just pointing it out, so there is a possibility that I am digging a grave. But, I believe she can really see things.

It’s because she has a unique skill called “Wisdom Eye.” That’s exactly what a wise eye is.

However, in a way, it may be just right.

I said I would play with her, but I honestly don’t know what to do with a first grade girl. When I think back, I think it was around this time that I stopped playing make-believe games because I thought it was childish.

“This is called magical power,” I said.

“Magic? Do you use it for magic?

“No and I don’t know. But you want to try?”

“I’ll try!

That’s the way to do it!

◇

It was very easy to teach her about magic.

At any rate, Ichika-chan seems to be able to see magic power without having to concentrate as hard as I did in the beginning, and she also seems to have a good understanding of it.

For example, Isaid, “You see that flickering light in the back of your chest? First, try to shake it.”

Then she replied in three seconds, “I did it!”

And in an instant, she got the “Magic Power Enhancement” and brought the magic power into liquid form, even though she is still not as good as me.

What is that a cheat? She’s a genius.

In a matter of minutes, Ichika-chan had acquired the skills I had spent over half a year training. While I was mildly annoyed by this, I was more than happy to see because I like her.

No, this happiness is that of an old man who is happy to see his daughter grow up.

I’m not an old man yet, am I? Shecan call me big brother, right?

This is the status of Ichika-chan after playing with magic for three hours.

Name: Kobayashi Ichika

HP: 15/15

Muscle Strength: 6

Magic Power: 36

Agility: 5 ▲

Level: 1

Occupation: None

Skills:

Flexibility Lv1 ⁘ HP Correction Lv1 ⁘ Muscle Strength Lv1 ⁘ Magic Enhancement Lv2

Unique Skill:  Wisdom Eye

It’s a tremendous growth rate, but perhaps it’s because she learned it by watching me with “Magic Enhancement Lv4” that she has grown so tremendously.

In other words, that may be the true nature of the unique skill ” Wisdom Eye.”

If that’s the case, it’s an amazing skill. Substantial ability copying and super fast learning.

It may have something to do with how smart she is as well, but it’s undeniably an amazing ability. I even want to trade my “Repeated Attempt ” for it.

In case you’re wondering, this is what my status looked like after I got home from playing with Ichika.

Name: Yasushi Sashima　

HP: 23/49

Muscle Strength: 42

Magic Power: 49

Agility: 36 ▲

Level: 1

Occupation: None

Skills:

Appraisal Lv6 ⁘ Enhanced Agility Lv3 ⁘ Enhanced HP Lv5 ⁘ Enhanced Muscle Strength Lv4 ⁘ Super Recovery Lv6 ⁘ Arithmetic Lv9 ⁘ Mental Resistance Lv8 ⁘ Enhanced Magic Lv5 ⁘ Agriculture Lv4 ⁘ Physical Resistance Lv2 ⁘  

Professor Lv2 ⁘ Flexibility Lv1

Unique Skill: Repeated Attempts

I was told that in order to teach others, I had to understand quite a bit, which gave me another ability called “Professor” and it increased one more level of “Magic Enhancement.”

In addition, she told me that she would teach me ballet as a thank you for teaching her magic. And when I tried it, I even got the “Flexibility” skill.

The way she taught me was so spartan that it hurt like hell. Yet, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be once I keep in mind that it was my first love who was teaching me.

All jokes aside, it turned out that my body was too stiff, and I heard that flexibility prevents injuries. It would be good to try it after my strength training.

That’s how I got my new skill and raised my level a bit.

Working out alone in silence is good.  Though it meshes well with my unique skills, it seems that there are some skills that cannot be trained or learned alone.

If it was someone else, well, I thought I’d better if I can keep a permanent relationship with Ichiaka-chan in the future.
