Proofreader: Rawbert

After the discussion in the conference room, we returned to the base-home.

I sat down on the sofa in the living room and moistened my throat with the tea I had taken out of the item box.

The first to speak up was, as I expected, Nishino.

Its really ridiculous isnt it

Yes. Miss Rebel just the fact that there are otherworlders showing up is a surprise, but I didnt think the situation was way more serious than that.

If what she said is true, then even the current situation where we are only fighting monsters seems lukewarm.

The opponent was a human being just like us, not only that, they were even higher-ranked beings with more advanced skills than us.

It is always a common trope in stories that when you are fighting a monster, the scariest thing is a human being, but when that scary being is fighting you, its the worst.

But you know that woman, Rebel, do you think we can truly believe her?

What do you mean, Shibata?

Well, you know its strange, isnt it? That woman is also from the otherworld, right? And yet, she has told us about her past so easily. Moreover, she easily gave us information about the enemies and where they will appear, it is way too good for us. No, even if its true, it is still a terrible situation.

Shibata also expressed his doubts while choosing his words carefully.

Nishino looked at the plastic bottle in his hand.

She has an ulterior motive. Is that what youre trying to say?

Yes.

Shibata nodded. 

Yes, I agree. Sure, its dangerous to take her word for it. But we cant ignore her information either, much less antagonize her.

What do you mean?

Look at this.

Nishino took out a sheet of paper from his pocket.

It was the paper I gave him with Miss Rebels status on it.

When Shibata saw it, he was speechless

All of her stats are high, but among them, her MP, magic power, and anti-magic power are outstandingly high. Ive never seen them exceed 50,000 before.

Many of her skills are also related to magic, and most of them are at level 10.

The three unique skills also had extraordinary effects, as I found out with my Right to Ask Questions.

Death King

One of the Six King Skills.

This skill is reserved for those who wield the best magic in the world.

When the skill is activated, a huge amount of boost is applied.

It will defy the laws of nature and eventually shatter fate.

The Sacred Realm

Creates a sacred realm.

Within the realm, your status and the effects of your skills are doubled.

It also gives multiple Weaknesses to enemies in the area. The weakened state cannot be removed within the sacred realm.

Divine Majesty

Creates a sword that replicates the majesty of a god.

The sword will randomly disable one of the targets skills. Can be stacked in duplicate.

[T/N: Stocked or stacked, it could be either of those. Katakana is confusing. I will keep it stack as of now and hope that it is not stock in future chapters]

The disabled skill cannot be used until the user releases it.

Cannot be used on multiple targets.

Honestly, I think its a load of bullshit.

All of her skills are extremely powerful, and unlike my Shadow Imitation and Battering Ram, she has almost no risk.

In addition, she has an extraordinary weapon called the Sages Staff.

Is it possible that all the otherworlders are all such powerful monsters?

(And she dared to show us her status even though she had the skill Appraisal Interference)

The armament is still in my item box.

Still, I dont think I can beat her.

In short, shes definitely not someone I want to antagonize.

Momo and others. What do you think?

Kuun?

Momo came out of the shadows and climbed into my lap.

Hn, shes cute. I stroked her body and asked her a question.

[T/N: Even I want to pet Momo ( ` )]

waoo.

Kyuu

(furufuru)

She seems to be saying, Im not really sure about that person, but I think Ill be fine.

Meanwhile, Shiro seems to be saying, I dont know and went back to sleep again.

Shes so carefree. Im afraid of what will happen if I dont send her back to Sora soon.

Sora gets really grumpy when she sees that Shiro likes me more than her.

Well, in any case, what we have to do is not so different from what we have done before. Raise our level and upgrade the safe zone. Expand our area of operations and gather other people who might be able to help us. Have non-combatants choose productive jobs and secure food and supplies. All of these things are the same as what weve been doing so far.

However, we cant take it easy.

If the otherworlds advance team is really coming in half a year, we should act quickly.

Thats what Im saying, Shibata. And in any case, no matter what shes up to, we just have to be strong enough to prevent it. Right?

Thats right. Yes, thats right.

Shibata nodded and clenched his fists.

Rikka-chan and Ono also nodded.

For now, our immediate goal is to develop all of you, Nishino.

Youre right. However, Peony seems to have devoured all the monsters in the area, so well have to go on a short expedition

Sora and I will go ahead and set up the coordinate points for Aka.

Sorry for the trouble, that would help us a lot.

With Soras flying ability, we can broaden the scope of our activities.

On top of that, if we set up the coordinates with Aka, the time to travel places weve already been to will be much shorter.

But well, its already late today, lets rest for the night and start tomorrow.

Yes, lets do that.

Well, now that we seem to have settled the matter, Ill do what I have to do.

It is something I should have already done but that plan was disrupted due to Rebels appearance.

After parting ways with Nishino and the others, I returned to my room and opened my status window.

That time, I was interrupted by Rebels appearance, but it will be okay now.

Now, how should I allocate them

How do you swing that thing?

Waah!?

I was taken aback by Ichinoses face, which popped up from behind me.

I was surprised. Please dont follow me while blocking your presence

Its not good for the heart. I thought there was a ghost behind me.

Ichinose chuckled.

Fufu, Its a habit Ive formed while looking out for any signs of killing intent.

Please dont say that like youre a child prodigy from some killer family. Anyway, why are you here?

Ichinose sat down on my bed.

And then she fiddled with her bangs.

No, well, you see, I hadnt gotten my level up notification yet, so I thought Id join you

Oh, I see. Then lets do it together.

Yes, yes.

Ichinose looked very happy.

I sat down on the floor, and for some reason, Ichinose got off the bed and moved next to me.

?

Isnt the distance between us oddly close?

Im a little nervous about this.

I glanced at her

ah

Her face is bright red.

No, dont be embarrassed when you were the one who did it.

It makes me embarrassed, too.

wafun.

Then Momo, for some reason, sighed in exasperation and climbed onto my lap.

Wagging her tail, she seemed to be telling me to hurry up and pet her.

I soothed my mind while fluffing her.

[T/N: Even I want to fluff TwT] 

Okay, everythings fine.

status open.

Sora, Ancient Dragon LV 2

Shiro, Little White Dragon LV1

Now then, it looks like I received a lot of SP and JP from the battle against Peony.

When I look at it again, its really a huge amount.

How should I allocate these?

First of all, lets raise HP Conversion, MP Reduction, and Ninjutsu Creation to level 8 respectively.

Then, raise the occupation Ninja to level 10.

This way, I will be able to raise my occupation to the maximum level, and since Ill also be able to raise one of the accompanying skills to level 6, Ill be able to raise my occupation to level 10 at once with less SP consumption.

Ninjas LV has reached the upper limit.

Higher level jobs and derivative jobs are now available for selection.

The highest level job Shinigami has been released.

Conditions for certain professions have been met.

Derivative profession Silent Playwright has been released.

Derivative profession Dragon Knight has been released.

Derivative profession Logger has been released.

Derivative profession Farmer has been released.

Derivative profession Guardian has been released.

Oh, so the highest level job has finally arrived.

Shinigami huh.

It doesnt seem to be any kind of stealth job, but it definitely looks like a powerful one.

And there are many new derivatives.

The silent playwright is a mimicry artist, right?

And dragon knight and logger are definitely influenced by Sora and Peony.

But farmer? A farmer is still a farmer. Im sure its a good profession for production.

Im a bit curious about the guardian thing.

Ill have to look it up later with my Right to Ask.

Then, a voice echoed in my head again.

Conditions have been met.

Confirmation of the manifestation of the first highest level profession in Chaos Frontier.

You will be granted a bonus.

You have acquired the skill Diligence.

Confirmed overlapping effects

Skill Occupation Strengthening will be merged with Diligence.

What? Whats that? A perk bonus?

I hastily checked the status and found that a skill called Diligence had been added to the unique skills section.

Whats the matter, Kudou?

Nothing, it looks like Ive acquired a new unique skill.

Seriously?

Seriously.

I immediately checked it on the Right to Ask Questions.

Diligence.

This skill is given to the first person to successfully unlock the highest level of a profession.

A huge correction is applied to the effects of occupational skills.

The more vocational skills you activate at the same time, the more they synergize with each other.

Woah

Its also a very powerful skill. Its extremely compatible with Job Enhancement.

Honestly, if the opponent was too strong, the occupation enhancement doesnt have a lot of presence. But once it has integrated in the future it will be much more active in the future. 

Im looking forward to testing this skill.

Its great. Youre getting better at being a cheater, Kudou.

I want to say that there are better ways to praise me, but Ill take it as a compliment. Thank you very much, Ichinose.

Yes, yes, congratulations.

Wawn!

We both high-fived each other and cheered, We did it!

Momo also congratulated me by licking my cheek. Fluffy.

Now, I have 199 SP points left, and 84 JP points.

(Only one point is needed to change to Shinigami)

The benefit of a newtype being able to save points is huge.

Im going to look up Shinigami in Right to Ask.

Shinigami.

The highest level of stealth.

Only one person of each lineage can hold the highest rank.

He is a master of assassination and ninjutsu, and can use many powerful skills.

If the environment is evening, night, or darkness, all stats are increased significantly.

MP, agility, dexterity, and magic are greatly improved.

Oh, so your combat power increases at night? This is also different from other professions Ive seen so far.

I wonder if only one person can hold the highest level of the profession.

If the Shinigami is the highest level of the Ninja lineage, it means that the warriors and the magicians also have a highest level for their own lineages.

However, based on the requirements for obtaining diligence, does it mean that no one other than me has the highest level job?

Im curious to know what the other top level jobs are like.

(Is that ? Come to think of it, Rebel-san has a unique skill, but there was no Occupation field, was there? Why? Is it because shes from another world?)

Well, whatever.

For now, lets change my profession to Shinigami.

If you choose to accept, an announcement will be issued throughout the world.

Ninja has been changed to the highest level occupation Shinigami.

Your profession has been changed to Shinigami. 

You have gained the skill Super Class Ninjutsu. 

You have gained the skill Super Class Ninjutsu Creation. 

Attained the skill Falling Sun Realm. 

You- have gained the skill Gale Run.

Skill Advanced Ninjutsu has been merged with Super Class Ninjutsu.

Skill Super Class Ninjutsu has been increased from LV1 to LV3.

Skill Ninjutsu Creation has been integrated into Super Class Ninjutsu Creation.

Skill Super Class Ninjutsu Creation has been increased from LV1 to LV3.

Super Class Ninjutsu and Super Class Ninjutsu Creation are higher versions of their respective skills.

.Wasnt it necessary to raise the Ninjutsu Creation if it was going to be integrated?

No, there was a possibility that if you didnt have enough LV, you wouldnt be able to get the higher level skills, so it wasnt a waste.

And the other two skills are also powerful skills.

The Realm of the Falling Sun

Creates a zone in which the sun sets.

Ten-kilometer radius around you will transform into night.

Within the realm, party members will be given the Night Vision skill, and the Shadow and Darkness skills will be greatly enhanced.

Gale Run

The user is able to move through any terrain or environment as if it were flat land.

When using ninjutsu skills while moving, the power and hit rate will increase.

When using a Ninjutsu item while in a mobile state, the power and hit rate are increased.

The effects of the Realm of the Setting Sun are amazing

The fact that it can forcefully create night is amazing, but on top of that, it also provides additional skills to party members. This combined with Momos skill will be even more powerful.

But the name sounds like Rebels Sacred Realm.

Could it be the same type of skill?

Gale Run is also a very powerful skill.

It allows you to move through walls and water without consuming any MP, and it even amplifies the effects of your skills while moving.

It may not look like much at first glance, but its definitely a very useful skill.

Im looking forward to testing the skill.

(Now I feel like upgrading my other professions too, but I wonder if I will get another one this time.)

The fifth profession Ive been holding off on.

I would like to get it this time.

Based on the stats Ive seen so far, Im pretty sure that the derivative jobs are all the ones I just saw.

Im sure there wont be any more derivative professions even if I maxed out Tracker or Jet Black Player.

So, the possibilities are as follows.

Citizen, adventurer, clerk, negotiator, shut-in, NEET, cook, horseman, snitch, thief, mage (lvl 3), dark wielder, fugitive, courier, actor, swindler, exterminator, holy warrior, leader, cleaner, martial artist, obliterator, silent playwright, dragon knight, logger, farmer, guardian

By the way, here is the description of the newly available professions.

The Silent Playwright

A profession that specializes in imitating someone elses skills.

Growth compensation for dexterity and magic resistance.

Dragon Knight.

A profession given to those who work with dragons.

It gives a significant boost to the status of the dragon you ride, and increases the power of your attack skills.

Logger

A specialist who deals with plant-based monsters.

When dealing with plant monsters, the status is enhanced. Increases the effectiveness of skills.

Farmer

Cultivates the earth and nurtures greenery.

Promotes the growth of soil and crops. Increased yield.

Guardian

A guardian who protects.

The more people you protect, the more effective your defensive skills become.

HP, Endurance, and Magic are modified for higher growth.

So, which one should I choose?
