I Became A Third-Rate Villain In The Hero Academy [On Hold]

Chapter 13: Angry (2)

In the game 'Kyren Zena Chronicles,' there exist various traits besides combat-related ones.

There's the 'Sage's Brain' that enhances overall intelligence, the 'Dwarf's Touch' that increases the chances of crafting exceptional items, and the 'Merchant's Eye' that can spot valuable objects.

In addition, numerous traits with unknown applications can be found in the game.

Being a veteran player of the game, I'm familiar with even the most obscure traits that ordinary players don't know about.

However, this is no longer a game but reality. It's unclear how these minor traits will be applied and to what extent they will be effective in real life.

[Remaining Currency: 8 Gold Coins, 10 Silver Coins]

It's a significant sum of money, but it's not enough to buy something that will be helpful in the upcoming practical skills evaluation on Friday.

[Weapon Expert]

Price: 20 Gold Coins

[Sword Expert]

Price: 20 Gold Coins

[Current Currency: 8 Gold Coins, 10 Silver Coins]

If I had at least one expert-level trait, I might stand a chance. However, I don't have enough currency, and it feels like a waste to buy an expert-level trait.

Weapon Expert is not an upgraded version of Sword Expert. They stack. Of course, if using a sword, one would choose Sword Expert.

Master-level traits are the perfect upgrade of expert-level traits. If you have several expert-level traits, you might be able to rank around 50th place, but breaking into the top 10 is impossible.

To graduate with outstanding results, you need at least two master-level traits.

Even if not on the level of Neike or Piel, those currently ranked in the top 10 already possess at least one master-level trait.

And most of them are named characters who will survive the Academy Crushing Episode, where many students die.

"Sigh."

Is there really no solution?

Although the practical skills evaluation has a low percentage of the overall grade, I'm currently on the verge of being expelled.

I must win.

Ralph is a formidable opponent for me right now. There's a huge gap that can't be overcome just by raising one or two stats.

I need something revolutionary.

While browsing the store, a certain trait catches my eye.

[Observer's Eye]

Price: 7 Gold Coins

In the original work, this trait had little presence except for helping the protagonist follow the aristocrats' dance moves when participating in the royal social club.

However, the point to note is that it can analyze not only dance moves but also other movements.

"Could it be?"

Can I use this to learn swordsmanship as well?

Hmm... But 'Observer's Eye' has more limitations compared to other combat-related traits.

First, you need to see the opponent's movements directly. As even Noctar acknowledged, my swordsmanship is not poor, but rather exceptional.

In the original work, longswords were a minor weapon, meaning there are few people to learn from.
