Title

Visitor From Another World, Farmer, Blessing of the Ability God, Adventurer, Creator’s Blessing.

Half a year has passed since I came to Rokuidol, and my level had gone up four levels.

My level had never gone up at this speed before. The pace that your level went up was supposed to drop the higher it went, so that showed how efficient things were in Rokuidol.

Every day, I used Heal until I was drained of MP. And my skill level for Light magic had also gone up 2 levels.

But that wasn’t the important part.

Age: 27

That was important.

Up until now, I had been getting a little younger every year on the fourth month, as well as raising my skill level with Reverse Age. And I was nearing the fourth month.

And so I realized the possibilities of ‘age.’

I had never really thought about it before, but if I became younger than the 26 years of age I had been when I lost my leg, would my leg return to me? I wondered.

To be honest, it seemed very unlikely. Up until now, this skill hadn’t changed me outside of my age.

But still… If there was even a small chance or my leg returning, I wanted to hope. It was part of my body, after all.

Of course, I was worried as well. Going from 27 to 25 was still subtle enough to avoid suspicion.

But if my leg regrew, I could not explain that.

What would I do the next day?

‘My leg grew back!’ Would I say that while greeting them with a smile?

Should I tell them everything?

Or should I leave town?

At the very least, I would not be telling them the whole truth. Who knows what would happen to me if people found out about my skill.

While everyone at the church was nice, you could never stop rumors from spreading. And not everyone who learned of it would have good intentions. It wasn’t a matter of trust.

And if my leg regrew in the morning, there was no way that I could avoid questioning. Perhaps I should just quit the church and test it out in a different town?

Rokuidol had been a harsh environment at first, but now, there were more people who could use recovery magic, and the shifts were not so bad. And more than anything, I owed a debt since they taught me light magic. It felt wrong to leave them now when they lacked personnel.

I didn’t want to trouble them over something that I wasn’t even sure about.

“Hah…”

Both a hope and a headache. And so I sighed, closed my status and sunk into my bed.

“Mr. Ajifu. You haven’t been yourself recently.”

Linel said to me the next morning.

Ah, so he noticed. However, he was not someone that I could confide in.

“I’m fine. Perhaps I’m just a little tired.”

“Leveling is important, but you must rest as well!”

He was very kind.

Clap!

While I was cleaning the church, Father Zenrima clapped his hands together to get our attention.

“Everyone, listen to me. Thanks to Ajifu’s growth as an apprentice priest, the cathedral has changed their opinion regarding us. And so they will be sending another apprentice to us. They should arrive next month. So be prepared.”

A newcomer. That was good.

…Hmm!? That’s it! This! Once the newcomer has settled in, I can leave town! Like this, I won’t inconvenience the church too much.

But in order to do that, I had to protect the newcomer from Father Zenrima’s evil influence regarding muscles. I had to.

“Father Zenrima! Please let me help with the newcomer’s training!”

“Hmm, Ajifu. Indeed, you have done well as an apprentice. However, I see that a shadow has been cast over your muscles recently.”

Once I acquired the Prayer skill, I hardly did any muscle training. I decided that I was better off focusing on sword practice. Besides, my armor was starting to not fit me.

“I am merely searching for the muscles that best suit me. There is no shadow.”

We glared at each other and sparks flew. What kind of competition was this?

However, it was Father Zenrima who backed away.

“Gahaha! Search for your own muscles. Ajifu, you have come a long way. Very well. You shall help with educating the newcomer.”

Yes! Newcomer, who I do not know yet! I will save you from that muscle hell!

Students entered the seminary between twelve and fourteen years of age. And it took two to three years to graduate. And so the newcomer should be between fourteen and seventeen.

Perhaps I should just reverse my age to seventeen after I leave town. Hehe.

It was now the fourth month of the year, and I was able to use Reverse Age again. However, I would not. Not yet.

“I graduated from the seminary this year. My name is Gairo. After hearing stories of the great Father Zenrima, I volunteered to be sent here! I am fifteen. It’s an honor to meet you.”

And the newcomer had finally arrived!

The first one was a boy with blonde hair and green eyes. And while he was not exactly skinny, he did not look too strong either. However, he was also a fan of Father Zenrima. Do I have to change my strategy?

“I am Lutma. I graduated last year, and worked as an Adventurer for a year. Once I reached F-Rank, the church recommended that I come here. I am eighteen. I look forward to working with you.”

The second one said with a bow. She had brown eyes and purplish-red hair that peeked out from her hat. I did not expect a woman to come. I see. So it wasn’t only people who had just graduated. I hadn’t considered that.

“Well met. Both of you. I am Father Zenrima of the Rokuidol church. First, I want you two to learn your duties in the church. I have high hopes for you.”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

And so their education started on that day. First, we would take them around the church and teach them what to do, and once they were used to it, they would start their shifts in the infirmary and night watch.

Regardless, as their predecessor, my biggest priority was to get in Father Zenrima’s way.

“Ah, Ajifu. I think it’s time that they start to train their muscles.”

“No. Gairo is still growing. Any unnecessary muscle would just disturb that growth. As for Lutma, I think it’s best that she focuses on the use of weapons for now.”

“Shouldn’t they raise their levels?”

“Gairo must first register as an Adventurer and learn about the town as a G-Ranker. And Lutma must search for a party to join.”

“Ajifu. You seem to disagree with me a lot?”

“Not at all. I’m just being logical.”

I was only saying what was normal.

Of course, there were times when I led them directly.

“Lutma. What weapon do you use?”

“A staff.”

“And you, Gairo?”

“Obviously, a mace! The same as Father Zenrima!”

A mace was one thing, but it would be difficult to only use a staff.

“Very well. Gairo, use a training mace and practice swinging against a leather bag. They are filled with sand, but be careful so that you don’t injure your wrists, understand?”

“Understood!”

“Now, Lutma. Many of the monsters in Rokuidol are covered in hard shells. And if you want to raise your MP, you will need a different weapon other than a staff. You should choose something.”

“Can’t I just rely on the advance guards?”

“Most light magic is for healing. And surely you don’t mean to stand around until someone is injured? Protecting yourself is the bare minimum, but it’s best to have a method of attack as well. Your safest bet is to use a mace that can also be a staff.”

“I…don’t like hitting things directly… What about this?”

So saying, she took out a stick that was attached to a chain and a spiked ball. A flail. A vicious weapon. I suppose it didn’t count as ‘directly’ for her?

“Hmm. You will have to train a lot with that. Or you might get hurt.”

“I will. I will train hard!”

She said, putting her hands together in a pleading gesture.

It almost would have been cute, if she wasn’t carrying such an unsettling weapon in her hands.
