The Skill Collector

"Is' hypnosis' this powerful?"

There were countless birds rolling on the ground, but all of them were asleep.

I'm checking my skills in the woods off the streets right now.

Because you need to check your abilities, from skills you don't use day to day in unpopular places to skills you use frequently.

When the level increases, the power and range of effects increase at once, and additional abilities that were not expected may occur.

Some skills can't be made without targets, so let's have them be a practice bench, though bad for the forest animals.

It's not the kind of place people go through, but just in case, it's been confirmed in "Signal Detection" to avoid involving irrelevant people.

Useful skills are frequently utilized, but rarely activate skills that are only harmful, called negative skills.

Some of these skills need to be tested.

But before we do, let's take a look at the skills that are always helpful.

"While 'appraisal' and 'sign perception' are quite helpful in the skill slots we have all the time, 'cover-up' is also a useful skill, isn't it?"

'Cover-up' is not uncommon. It is also possible to train and remember acquired with skills. So many owners, popular skills.

It just has some interesting properties. The majority have only one ability per skill, but the cover-up is different. Cover-up implies hiding.

It's not just about killing the signs and hiding your appearance… it's also about hiding objects, sentences, and abilities if you have a higher level.

It activates "cover-ups" when the ability shown on the skill certificate can also be examined, causing false information to be included.

"Don't you think it's a really useful skill?

I accidentally raise my face and jump my gaze on a tree that stands diagonally forward.

There the blue and lush leaves just look shaky in the wind. There is also no response to 'Sign Detection'.

Even though it also enhances the sense of smell and hearing, it doesn't catch anything and only looks like a landscape in the woods.

"Oh, is it unresponsive this time? Now multiply the level of 'Sign Detection' by another 10. It will also activate the Listening Ear."

I see a slight swing at the end of my gaze.

Difficult to hear distorted by the swinging sound of the leaves, but also breathing and heart sounds.

Are you a little upset? That's still sweet.

"Was it your fault? I thought someone was lurking...... you're embarrassed. Thank God no one's here."

When I scratched my head and pretended to mislead my failures, the signs shook again.

One of the thickest branches of trees in sight is unnaturally bent. It's as if there's something out there that you can't see.

"And if no one is there, will it also activate a vicious curse that affects a wide range of people? The effect of the curse is too harsh and hesitates to activate… it's long past the solitaire"

Did you lose focus because you were distracted by the content of the curse? I see a thin figure on the branches, but he doesn't seem to realize it.

A suspicious man with a sleeveless jacket woven over a black costume that adheres to his body. That's staring at us.

I can't see the majority of my face because I cover it with a cloth from my nose down, but it's obvious that I'm a woman even if it's just my body irregularities and my eyes.

He speaks his mind perfectly with signs of fluctuation, although he has not uttered any words, and the movement of long hair wrapped up near the top of his head swinging from left to right.

- You're in a hurry.

You're even thinking of setting it up before activating the curse, the woman pulled the dagger she was carrying on her hips out of her sheath.

"Then curse me."

As the woman with the faint signs descends to the ground and quickly turns to the side, she sticks out a dagger at me.

Silver light passes as you gently shift your face to the side.

The opponent also has solved the 'cover-up' so he can see the whole thing, eyes to eyes.

"Oh, aren't you the assassin? Long time no see."

Talk with a slight cut.

Quick steps and sharp slaughter. It's an unforgiving attack aimed at the eyes and throat, but it lightly scolds all of it.

It's not like she's weak. Rather first-rate as an assassin.

I'm just not good with them.

"Hit it! Hit it! Oh, shit!

"I don't know what kind of nasty language a woman is."

"I'd say I dumped a woman!

Speaking of which, I think they said the same thing the first time they targeted my life.

Ten years have passed since the assassins attacked me.

At the time, I was in my mid-teens, so now...

"Oh, that's why you're piercing your bachelor"

"Be sure, I'll kill you!

The slaughter rate increased and the killing temper swelled.

I think I've spoken of a ban.

"I'm sorry if they cared."

"Xama is in a good position to travel with a woman when people are chasing after her as she fights loneliness, lurking her breath and exploring the gaps in her assassination."

I guess you're talking about when you and Kuyoli were traveling together.

I was feeling faint signs then too, but were you still a female assassin?

"Speaking of which, you're always alone. It's a little more likely to strike with a fellow sect."

"Die without saying a mess!

Apparently this is also forbidden.

The blade being protruded is painted with faint black liquid, but that seems to be a secret poison passed on to the clan.

"As I said before, it doesn't poison me, does it?

"You'll never know unless you try!

I can't stand it. You should also understand the difference in strength.

He's tried to assassinate me by all means in the last decade, but he's never had a successful try. If I had succeeded, there's no way I'd be here right now, so it's natural.

The methods she used as a means of assassination varied. Pitfalls, coloring disguises, guiding demons, mercenaries hired with gold, etc.

"They're spending all the money they make on the assassination business to kill me, but why don't you give it up?

"I can give up! I'm not gonna let you tell me you forgot what Xama did to my master!

I hear the words unleashed with anger and frown root.

I haven't forgotten, but I've said many times that it's out of line to be resented for that.

"I remember. They sold me a high level of cover-up and assassination."

"The master lost his fangs when you forced him to take away his skills!

"So, that's not..."

"Shut up!"

The female assassin took out a short bow as she buckled and took the distance, firing a series of poisoned arrows.

I think we should show off the difference in strength, and instead of avoiding it, grab it and throw it down on the ground.

I was remembering one thing she said with her master, looking at someone who kept firing in tears.

"It's a complete defeat, do as you please. Take this neck and you'll get a lot of money."

I stroke my chest down, looking down at the black-crushed man dripping his head in front of me.

Pretending to be calm, but now it was pretty dangerous.

"Covering up" to stunning integrations with the landscape, even this me couldn't feel a sign until critical, and managed to avoid it where I would eat a blow at risk.

From there I earned this one too, so surprisingly I settled lightly but my arm as an assassin is super top notch.

Definitely the strongest assassin I've seen in the last few decades.

"Is it a prize? You said you should like it now. Then there's something you want more than your life. Could you sell that?

"What do you mean? What is Xama saying"

An assassin man who was piercing his faceless expression changes his expression there for the first time.

Subsequent negotiations bought skills such as' assassinations' and 'cover-ups' and freed former assassins.

"He died an assassin for buying his skills, but he didn't take his life."

The assassin's old man convinced him to sell his skills. That's for sure.

The buyout price also paid a fair amount, after which the spot was fully settled.

He also nodded, "It's a good time to wash his feet from the assassination business," and was impressed to laugh with a blown out face.

"Since then, my master has lost his heart! I've stopped assassinating you, let your grandchildren read your picture books every day, and you're just playing in the park!

"Isn't that the best old age"

"I'll enjoy the rest of my life with that, I'm not just an old man!

I don't think it's content to shake my hair and get angry.

Isn't it ideal as a way to spend your old age?

"There's no shadow to see that harsh or riddled side now! Your grandson, who has recently entered a period of disobedience, begins and ends to treat his master as a disturber! A legendary assassin feared by many is stroking his cat in the garden!

I don't even know what it would be like to mourn if a respected master did.

Returning an assassin can bring revenge on his clan and genre, but the assassin's old man had no grudges against me and told his men so.

Even so, except for the female assassin who blindly respected the old man. He can't forgive me for being a favorite now.

"Until now, I've also been able to afford it, so this is how I dealt with them once or twice a month, but I've been busy with something lately. It's a waste of time playing with them, so why don't you stop now?

"Then kill me!

Every time, I have the same interaction but I am not willing to pull it off.

He's the one who comes to kill himself, so he can't take his life or be held guilty...

In the beginning, I hesitated to put a teenager in my hands, and I made him speak with guts over and over again to see if he managed to figure it out in the discussion.

But she doesn't bend her opinion. She's quite stubborn, she doesn't have ears to listen to, and she's been attacking me regularly over the years.

Persuasion also activated 'speech', but meant nothing to those who were unwilling to listen, and the words just passed from her right ear to her left ear.

That's how I got attached to her while I was dealing with her every time.

Although the purpose of the journey is to kill because I am basically alone, there are times when I feel grateful for my contacts with people. No matter how many times you get attacked, you think you're cute like a strangling cat.

He's a troublesome opponent, but this one didn't get in the way, either, because he used her.

The experimental bench for the skills you have just acquired and the combat training that warms your body up may be the only relationship you have now.

It's just that there's a problem with my sister here lately, so it could be harmful to her, too. So I'd like to turn down the connection here.

"What about washing your feet from the assassination business here and grabbing happiness"

"Shut up! I have always thought only of killing Xama, only in action and training. So I don't have one of my friends, not my lover! Ordinary women may spend their income on clothing and other stylish items. But I've spent it on poisons, traps and the latest equipment! Now I can pull!

A throwing knife looms with the foolishness of monologue your mood, but you play it with your fingers.

I've noticed for a long time, but she's been in a state where her pride as an assassin can't pull in the way.

"Don't you yearn for a happy family"

"The stunt is only assassinations and cover-ups. Who wants to marry a woman!

"Oh, sure."

"Kill him!"

Agreed, explosives also became mixed among the weapons thrown.

But I felt comfortable with the current exchange. I was so upset.

When that happens, do you buy friends here to get out and introduce good people?

"Then how about introducing a man according to your taste? I've seen it this way, and I've helped you get along a few times."

"What, so... Is that true?

Whoa, the attack's stopped. And I mean my eyes.

Nearly in the late twenties, this country is a natural age for marriage. Instead, you'd be pretty slow. Don't make 'Speech' work now if you feel this way. Activate at maximum level.

A priest appeared first as an inclusive person who could accept her...... but even I just don't feel like pushing any more troublesome women.

... Let's put him on the list as a last resort.

"Yes, if you are a merchant, you will connect more with people, so you will inevitably have the opportunity to get to know attractive men."

"Ho, ho. My master also told me not to waste my generosity, though enemies. Let's just talk about it."

Drop the weapon and the intent to attack seems to have vanished.

Let's use the art of negotiation from here on out.

"Assuming, do you have the conditions you want from a man?

"Oh, yeah. It would be nice for a woman like me to offer her terms, but a man who enjoys being with me..."

I dye my cheeks slightly red with my gaze to the ground, and I look like a girl enough to be holding hands.

It would have been better if the outfit hadn't been an assassination costume.

"If you're a man with a mouth, you know it."

Let me give you Maechir the informer. I was recently shown the aspect that I like strong women, so I don't think it's a bad compatibility.

"No, a man you can rely on is better"

"I see, I see"

Then I heard a few conditions and came up with a couple of men that I can't say are perfect but most of the conditions apply.

"Hey, give me a minute. In the first place, it's strange to have someone refer you to who was trying to kill you."

- What a shame. Have you gone back to your sanity?

I was going to keep taking the story forcefully.

"Besides. I have put many in my hands. That's why I'm being targeted for my life. Those who live together will always be in danger of their lives..."

A woman assassin who drops her shoulders and squeals lonely.

Apparently, this one is the real deal.

"Why is Xama so good to me? Someone I've been after my whole life."

"In the first place, I've never felt like my life was in danger."

"Come on, don't tell me..."

Now it was time to raise my arms, but when I was a teenager, it was a more difficult strength to be killed because I was about an assassin apprentice.

"It's like a child who's going to get confused. The actual battle will be a workout."

"Workout...? Maybe I really should give up already. But it's also a convenient story to seek happiness with such bloody dirty hands. In some mountain..."

The female assassin stares at her hands with vain eyes.

The assassination party to which she belongs is targeting villains, but that doesn't seem to justify the assassination.

The fact that the old assassin targeted me was also a result of the client's lies deceiving me.

"Why don't you just meet him? If you don't like it, you can say no."

"Well, if you say so much. But I don't have any clothes to meet, and I've never even worn makeup other than disguise."

"I'll take care of that, too"

I know my collaborators.

Besides, the target is someone who can dispel all the anxiety of a female assassin.

"You were invited, too."

When I was invited to the Congis home party to visit, there was a champion there.

They say the champion, me and the other one.

"That's right. He wants me to eat an improved dish..."

When you look a little over the table, there's a line of creative dishes served that make you want to turn away.

I don't think it looks like cooking. It's avant-garde work, but the taste is fine. Confirming Celiferi's skills as Congis' daughter-in-law, the 'cooking' level was rising again.

"Recently, Congis and Cerifeiri pushed me to marry him if he did. Will you persuade me to give up on my good talk?"

The champion sighed loudly, drinking even though the party hadn't even started.

The two newlyweds are so friendly that they don't even think marriage is bad, but the more you look at them from a bachelor without them, the more poisonous it is to your eyes.

"It's time to settle down."

"Ha, you're kidding. I don't want to deny my marriage, but I have a woman in my life. You're too busy with idiots."

Fools are probably referring to the fighters and adventurers who attack us to get the strongest names.

If you've even touched one of his strengths, you don't even think about getting your hands on it, but there are reckless people in any world who have overconfident themselves.

"It could be harmful to your wife."

"It's better if we just hang out for one night."

That being said, I know he wants a wife inside.

Lately I had seen the Congis couple and spilled their thoughts on the booze seat that was getting stronger.

"Dear Leondold, Collector. Thank you for coming."

"Ooh, you've come a lot!

Looks like the rumored newlyweds showed up.

The two people who smile closer together always look like only beautiful women and beasts, but both me and the champion know that they are a good couple.

While the four of us picked the dish, the three of us gazed at each other, except for the champion, and nodded small, as they were thriving on stories that had no other love.

"It was. He's bringing my friends with him today."

I clap my hands and call her as if Celiferi had just remembered.

It was one woman, wearing an evening dress with slits under her feet, who emerged from the back.

Her face is diluted makeup, but she is so beautifully prepared that her voice leaks "ho" by accident. Sometimes a 'makeup' skilled seriferi just lent a hand.

It's tall for a woman, but she has an adjustable body that's out where she leaves off, and her appearance catches the eye of both men and women.

"Well, that's not true. Besides, the martial arts are pretty good."

Did you break her prowess at a glance?

But do you make it this far with makeup and outfits? I don't think he's the same person as the assassin who dumped that woman.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Lises."

The usual manly tone and murderous attitude lurk the ringing and look like a lady.

The past few days seem to have yielded results that have tapped into her attraction as a woman by Celiferi and Cheiri.

"This is beautiful, isn't it? Nice to meet you. My name is Collector."

Return the greeting in disguise of the first meeting and confirm the champion slightly sideways.

You seem to be observing your opponent with a blatant attitude, but you're a little upset.

That, too, should be because she is now the one I have proposed and planned, having fully grasped his preferences from years of dating.

"Oh, it's Leondold."

The champion's voice is slightly up.

This could work better than I expected.

He has both the measure and the strength to take her past without having to 'cover it up'. And it wouldn't be bad for you.

Let's leave bad love to the Congis couple and watch them raw and warm.

"Well, it's not bad to have someone with you."

Drinking tea in the usual seat on the first floor of the inn, the champion sat in the opposite seat without any say and began to boast.

Since then, the two seem to be doing well together and are asked to curse three times a week.

Listening appropriately, Congis sat next to the champion.

"Why don't we go watch a play together next time? Of course, ask Lises out. I'm taking my wife, too."

One more troublesome.

"Oh, that's good. Can I join my fiancée, too? I'll make sure you get a seat."

"Long time no see. I don't mind."

"Why don't you sit down and don't just stand there?"

It was the prince of this country who came additionally to the seat full of men.

For once, it's a false identity. Champion and Congis know who the prince is.

After knowing it, he was treated equally according to the prince's wishes.

Champion and congis forward. And a prince next door.

Shit, I'm surrounded by guys full of colors.

Since then, I've been told to brag about my own daughter-in-law and lover, and Sumire, Ceiri and Cuyoli, who were listening to cursory tales a little further away, are turning a meaningful gaze at me.

- Activate 'Cover-up' at all costs.

My appearance and presence disappeared, and I escaped the inn safely without anyone noticing me.

"Cover-up skills are really useful"
