Assassin and Medal Skill
After the event ended and he returned to his original place, Hyde was wondering what to exchange for the medals in the private room sent to him individually.
(Hmm, it doesn't seem like you have the skill to hide your appearance that you were hoping for.
When he was transferred to a room dedicated to selecting skills, Hyde was looking for a skill that would allow him to hide himself first from the list of skills.
In Hyde's fighting style, it's important to attack without being detected by the enemy, so it doesn't matter how many skills you have.
However, he couldn't find it even after searching, so Hyde decided to search for other skills.
(First, exclude weapon skills other than daggers. Afterwards, with my stats other than [STR] and [AGI], the skills I can use are limited in the first place.)
Since [DEX] is 0, you can't even learn production-type skills.
Also, since her [INT] is 0, even if she learns magic skills, she doesn't have much power.
While looking at the details of the skills, Hyde erased from the candidates one after another the skills that he could not learn or could not demonstrate much power even if he did learn them.
([STR] and [AGI] status-up skills are quite attractive. But honestly, I'm more worried about this one.)
[Following blade]
When an attack with a weapon succeeds, a follow-up attack with 1/3 the power of that attack occurs.
([Assassination] and [
Hyde is currently at the top level of the NWO, so his [STR] is proportionally higher.
However, even with Hyde's [STR], he still can't attack enough to shave off the opponent's HP with a single blow against a tank like Chrome.
Therefore, even if I can't defeat it, I decided to select [Following Blade] in order to reduce as much HP as possible.
(One more thing, huh. If possible, I would like to acquire [STR] and [AGI] status-increasing skills together, but if I don't have a skill like [Following Blade], it can't be helped. Skills... oh?)
Hyde, who was looking at the skill while thinking, stopped his finger when he saw a certain skill.
【sucker punch】
When attacking successfully while unrecognized, the power of the attack increases by 30%.
(Hmm? Isn't this skill just right? It doesn't seem to have any particular disadvantages, and it fits my style.)
This skill increases the power of attacks, so it works well with [Following Blade] that Hyde chose earlier. It was truly a skill that killed two birds with one stone.
(Alright! Skills are decided on [Surprise Strike] and [Following Blade]!)
After finishing the skill selection, Hyde was wrapped in light and disappeared from the dedicated room.

～Management Room～～
“Damn…! Maple!
"No way[
After the event ended, the management team took a breather, but the unexpected skill that Maple chose with the medal ended up haunting them again.
“There are only three players who have partners, including Maple.
"That's why it's hard to fix it. Even if you can fly, it's not at a level that destroys the game balance like [Evil Eater]."
""""That's it"""""
It's certainly convenient to be able to fly freely in the sky, and attacking from the sky is an advantage, but it's not completely invincible.
If you use magic on an opponent flying in the sky, you can hit them normally, and above all, the floating Syrup's movement speed isn't that fast. Since it's gigantic, it's also a big target, so bird-type monsters can be more troublesome if you look at it as a whole.
“Speaking of Maple, you had a partner named Sally, right?”
"Ah. You're a really avoidable child. As expected of Maple's partner."
"It's not a skill, so I can't fix it. What kind of reflexes do you have?"
"can not understand"
In the minds of the men, the image of Sally who continued to dodge the barrage of [Silver Wings] appeared.
Sally was probably the only one who could do such tricks without using prediction skills or evasion skills.
Everyone who checked the monitor was overwhelmed by that... Maple's outrageous behavior always bothered me, but Sally's was a completely different direction.
"No! What kind of skill did that child choose?"
"[Following Blade]. It's a skill that triggers a follow-up attack when you attack with a weapon. With this skill, you won't get any unexpected results."
“Just because Maple is out of the standard doesn’t usually cause such an unexpected situation.”
""""That's true!"""""
"Maple and, incidentally, something unexpected other than Sally..."
The words of one person who was speaking suddenly stopped. It was clearly unnatural, so the gazes of people in this place gathered on that person.
"Hey, what's wrong? Suddenly shut up."
"... No, you just remembered, didn't you?"
"what?"
"I'm pretty sure there was another one, right? A player who has a partner other than Maple and Sally."
Hearing those words, Hyde's existence popped up in everyone's head. Certainly, that player also had an unexpected situation and got a partner.
"... hey, um, what was his name... well, okay. Check how many medals the last player with that partner got."
"Yes"
The man who was instructed hurriedly displayed Hyde's status screen on the monitor.
"My player name is 'Hyde'. The final result of this event is 1 gold medal and 14 silver medals."
"Then two skills? Which skill did you choose?"
"One is the same as Sally's [Following Blade]. The other is [Surprise Attack]."
"... How can I say it, I'm relieved."
"Both
“For the time being, I didn’t put too much imbalance in my skills.”
This event was the first to allow players to choose their reward skills.
Therefore, from the point of view of management, many of the skill options were experimental and easy to understand.
“Hyde’s attack power has increased, and even if [Assassination] fails, he can still attack with high power… but compared to Maple, he’s cute.”
"Well, anyone would be cute compared to that."
"Bad comparison target"
Some of the top players, including Hyde, are recognized by the management team as 'a guy with a unique sensibility', but Maple is also recognized as 'a guy who doesn't know what he's going to do'.
Well, he would play around with the weakest monsters for an hour without even attacking them, and he would start eating the rotting flesh of monsters because normal attacks didn't work, so I can't say that he was wrong.
“For the time being, there is no problem with the skills Sally and Hyde chose.
"Ah~, I guess I should do it after all~"
"I'm working overtime again..."
“Damn…! Maple!
And then, the men held their heads and mumbled while starting to confirm.
Fortunately, there were no players other than Maple who used their unique skills.
However, from now on, there will be more opportunities to worry about the influence of Maple, but... without knowing about such a future, the management team breathed a sigh of relief at this result and ended the work for the time being.
Pretty short this time. But I couldn't put it off any longer...
Next time, it's a real story.
