I open the door and enter in a haughty way.

For one reason or another, I want to agitate someone.

Well, everyone is looking at me with money hungry eyes anyways.

I move towards and reception and redeem my request, gaining 15 coppers in the process.

The currency is very basic.

100 Copper = 1 Silver

100 Silver = 1 Gold

Sadly, nothing higher than gold exists.

According to the recent books, one copper is able to provide me with two meals, but as is, it is not confirmed yet.

My current priorities are to adapt to this world, gain all of the knowledge, then maybe do some ‘Mischief’.

Mhm.

Don’t get me wrong, my personality has always been somewhat in the ‘not normal’ kind, but that doesn’t bother me.

I haven’t had issues with it ever since..

Forever?

Now that I think about it.. What is happening on Earth right now..

----10 minutes after it all started, Earth.

The teachers started getting worried for Archillies, as he had never got late in the bathroom.

Known for his quiet and smart personality, he was loved by all the teachers, with everyone knowing who he is.

Doing something out of habit was extremely rare, thus they knew something was wrong.

They called for the hall guard, asking about a black haired, gray eyed boy going to the bathroom, which he answered with a yes, but after about 5 minutes of him entering, the door suddenly opened, with no one behind it.

Confused, they further investigated using the security cameras, but it showed the same thing as what the guard said.

Unable to find any clues, they went to the bathroom to look, yet, nothing was inside.

And up until now, investigations kept looking for the whole day, giving up at the end since it was a lost cause.

---Back to the current time, Dila.

--One day later.

They probably forgot about me already..

Right now, I’m sitting in the meeting room for VIPs in the Adventurers guild.

Reason? I want to meet the guild master.

Being one of the people at the peak of SS, he shall serve well as a test subject.

My mission is to finally understand the strength of an SS, since Grovan was a new SS, at the bottom of his rank.

But of course, an SS is not to be underestimated be it new or old.

As such, I put 130 points in each stat, to become completely ready.

Just as a precaution, I turned on ‘Body Strengthening’, ‘Inner Ki Meditation’ and ‘Outer Ki Meditation’.

I also learned how to supress my extra magic from seeping due to some people telling me that my aura is like a high ranked monster.

While harvesting the herbs, I gained the ‘Farming’ ability, and the ‘Super Green Hand’ achievement due to my vast knowledge of herblore.

I start playing with my magic hands, John and Larry, by getting our hands into a pushing position, and see who will be pushed backwards.

Why did I name them? Well, it is largely because they have a personality now.

John likes to play pranks on people, sometimes flipping skirts, while others he move their items without them knowing, to then panic as they search for them.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Larry, on the other hand (heh), is quiet.

He likes observing, and helping me if possible.

I recognized that it was the hand that I did tests on.

How do you recognize those look-alike blue ghostly hands?

Their mana circulation.

In each hand, I edited their circulation, making them have numbers shown if you try to sense mana.

Larry was no. 1, obviously.

No. 2 is James.

James is… unique.

His ‘personality’ switches a lot, going from calm to violent in a matter of seconds, to then start causing mischief later.

No. 3 is John.

No. 4 is Henry.

Henry is good with his hands, able to do hardcore manipulation of his fingers, giving me a hard time with thumb wrestling.

Other than that, his ‘Sense’ of weight is incredibly good.

For example, let’s say that I need 51mg of sugar, in a matter of seconds, he gives me the exact amount I asked for.

He is the most helpful, after Larry.

No. 5 and last, Bob.

He is the most strength oriented one.

Always going around trying to find heavy things to carry, or pushes the hands around, literally.

Whenever we fight, he seems to manipulate his force in someway that increases his power, while still maintaining the same amount of mana I give him per second.

After observing him a couple of times, my ‘Magic Manipulation’ increased by a few levels.

Those magic hands are terrifying, I thought.

But whenever I give them an order, it is done without fail, so I leave them to mess around however they want, as long as they don’t go overboard.

I remember yesterday after redeeming the request, I went to the same Inn I saw before, and while eating, I noticed a man arm wrestling with others, then before I could say anything, Bob went to him.

The man was confused, but I told him that the magic hand wants to wrestle.

He laughed and said..

“Magic Hands are the weakest form, they can barely carry a few books without extra magic.”

Or so he said, but I finally convinced him, and he and Bob got their poses ready.

3..

2..

1..

GO!

-CRASH!

The force of Bob was too strong, flipping the man from his seat and breaking the table with his arm.

Ouch, I thought.

Then cheering started, getting me confused.

“That’s one strong magic hand there.. Did you know that this guy was not beaten for 4 years straight?”

“I can’t believe he was defeated by a magic hand in the end..” He continued.

Then one guy shouted.

“With the defeat of the Adamantine Arm, the whole night will be on my tab!”

“”YEAAH”””

Bob kept floating around me happily, and that night, I learned how beer tastes…

No need to be specific.

Anyhow, back to the matter at hand.

The Guildmaster of this branch is called the Sword Queen, utilizing her speed and a special mythril sword, she raised in ranks quickly, and soon defeated the strongest SS ranked person to claim the seat for herself.

Of course, even though her speciality is the sword, there were instances where she fought bare handed, and with the opponent’s weapons with ease.

I did my research, it was very hard (not).

Anyhow, it has been already 20 minutes, and John got bored and started moving objects.

Ugh..

Finally, I hear the sound of the door opening, and I’m greeted with a red haired, red and yellow eyed woman.

Her figure is like a succubi, any man will fall in love with her.

But thankfully, my WIL stat was stronger than her charm, making me resist it.

-Ding!

“You have gained a new stat : CHA (Charm), it affects how the body looks and the chances of success in social interactions.”

-Ding!

“New hidden skill route has been opened, unlocking is now possible.”

Well now..

That was surprising?

I open the Skill tree quickly and manipulate it while concentrating on the Sword Queen.

Wearing a gray scarf that covers her neck, she is dressed in a red robe, seemingly made of the finest silk and enchanted by the best.

“Now then, I’ve heard about you, Archillies, was it?”

“Mhm, nice to meet you too, Isabelle.”

“Withstanded Grovan’s full bloodlust, defeated the Adamantine Arm with a low ranked magic hand, and with a bounty of 100 gold.”

“Well, the reason is a joke so I don’t really care about being on the bounty, besides, everyone finds it a joke how such a bounty was allowed to be posted.”

“If I may say, I agree, but don’t you think 100 gold is too much for an E rank?”

“Maaybee…”

“Alright, enough chat, what do you need from me?”

“Battle.”

“Pardon?”

“I want a fight, a battle with you.”

“Why didn’t you ask Grovan? He sent you a duel invitation yet you didn’t accept.”

“Compared to you, he will need a 100 of him to defeat you, so I went for the strongest nearby, and my lucky pick was you.”

“I see. When do you want to start the fight?”

“Right now, if possible.”

“It is possible, but are you sure? I’m too interested in you than to batter you.”

“Don’t worry, I can just heal myself if I found it necessary.”

“Alright then, let us go.”

With that, my first battle with an SS rank was set in stone..
