Chapter 3:

Swords and Teleportation

Surviving In This Another World With My "Bonus" Skill


So this is how my special skill works, it's like those daily login rewards I often see in games. After a few while the boards in front of me disappeared, I opened my inventory thereafter for obvious reason.

The three weapons I got are in three different slots, they have the same sword icons. The food and water rations have a burger icon (why a burger icon?) with a x100 sign on the upper right side of the icon while the bronze coin obviously have a bronze coin icon, with a x100 sign on the upper right side as well. The x10 Lives has a heart icon with x10 sign, out of the six things I got this is the only one I can't bring out.

[Name] Sasaki Reiji

[System Points] 100 > 110

My system points also increased by ten.

"Why don't you try equipping one of those weapons, maybe one of your weapon can break the barrier." Junta suggested.

"It's a good idea but... well... it's just these weapons have really dangerous descriptions."

"Then let's try the other things you got first."

I gave him a nod and tapped my status board, I summoned a portion of the food and water rations and one of the bronze coins I have. The food and rations end up in front me, maybe because it'll not fit in my hand while the bronze coin appeared in my right hand.

The bronze coin is twice as large as a normal coin and it's hard like a normal stone, it has no distinguishing features aside from the fact that it's made of bronze so I just put it back inside my inventory. The food and water rations is delivered to me inside a box, after opening it there are three sandwiches wrapped in a plastic and two mineral water in a plastic bottle inside.

"Why are you three eating it?" I asked the three idiots who already have the sandwiches in their mouths.

"Well, just to make sure it's safe." answered Yukio, and then what will you do if it's not safe and you already ate it?

"Just to make sure it's real?" answered Taiga, and you're not even sure.

"Ju... sh... to... me..." and Kenta, stop talking while you're eating. "It surprisingly taste like a sandwich..." Kenta gulped, "I mean it surprisingly tastes normal."

It looks like the food are safe because of the three idiots who volunteered as guinea pigs for this experiment, that's why I think it's a good idea to bring out more from my inventory to explore the varieties. In the end I brought out nine more, there's pizza, hamburger, donut, pasta, tempura, potato chips and etc. The food is very random that somehow I stop thinking about it, but in every food I brought out there's always two mineral water in a plastic bottle that came with it.

"Since the food are safe, let's try the weapons."

First, I bring out the less dangerous one out of the three, the Royal Knight Sword.

"Ohhhhh!" Kenta with a very amazed sound look at me with fried chickens on both hands.

The sword is a normal long sword but somehow it looks very grand or elegant if you say, something like someone from a royal family would use as a decoration. It has a crimson rectangular gem on the center of the sword guard and there's a runic writing I can't read carved on the left side of the blade.

Somehow I can't read runic writings like this and those written on the sphere, maybe the language comprehension skill can only be use for communication with others and not for writing and reading or I need to upgrade the skill in order to unlock other languages. Is it a different language from the one that the mysterious voice used earlier? I don't really know.

Anyways, I tried slashing the bench in front of me to know how sharp the sword in my hand is. Yes, it is very sharp, it literally split the bench in two like a paper. I wonder if the teachers will scold and ask me to pay if they learn about this.

"Okay, let's try another weapon." I put the sword back in my inventory and pull another sword, the Magic Sword Inferno.

"Whoooaaahhh!!! can I touch that?" Kenta asked me with enthusiasm, he have stars in his eyes while the two beside him have a very dumbfounded look.

The sword in my hand looks like a normal long sword except for the fact that it's on fire like literally, the blade is covered with red flames and because of that I can't see clearly the normal color of the blade. The hilt is normal too, except for the sword guard that is designed like a devil's horns with a skull emblem embedded on the center of it.

"Okay, but first wash your hands."

Kenta washed his hands after, his hands is very dirty because of the reason he's been eating since earlier with his bare hands. Then I give it to him since I can't say no to that piercing gaze, is this sword really that cool? I don't understand anything at all about swords.

"...and also don't use or slash it, I don't know if the description is real but I don't want you burning anything, just to be safe." I warned him, I don't know what will this idiot do after all so I warned him just in case.

"This is very heavy." Kenta almost drop it but he managed to hold on to the sword. Of course it's heavy, that's a normal sword.

"I wonder what kind of science is making the flames stay on the blade and it's not vanishing at all." Junta said.

"And the flame is not hot or cold either." as expected of Taiga, he didn't even hesitate to touch the flames.

"Ohhh, you're right." Yukio followed after Taiga.

Now Kenta and Yukio are touching the flames and looking at each other, they look like monkeys when they discovered something new when I look at their reactions right now.

The flames are neither hot nor cold but you can still feel the flames are there, better not think about it too much... I'm sure it's just another fragment of fantasy.

I then took out the last weapon, the Curse Sword Thanatos.

"..."

This is a dagger though, a dagger with a slightly curved black blade. There's a violet-colored runic writing on the handle made of black steel.

Kenta is looking at me with shining eyes.

"I can't let you touch this one, read the description."

"Oh, that's a rather ominous description but it's cool though so I'm fine with just looking at it." what are you, a sword fanatic?

I try to hit the dagger on the bench I broke earlier to test its sharpness, the dagger cut one of the metal bars but it took a few seconds. It's not as sharp as the Royal Knight Sword.

"The Royal Knight Sword and Magic Sword Inferno might work, let's try those out."

Kenta gave back the sword to me after intensely looking at it and I put the two swords back inside my inventory.

"Hey, if we're just getting near the sphere why don't we use Kenta's Wide-Scale Teleportation, my stomach is very full I don't think I can move." Yukio said while rubbing his stomach.

"Me too." Taiga agreed while also doing the same.

Seriously these guys.

"Looks like it's my turn." Kenta move his imaginary glasses like those smart characters in anime. Even though he's the one who eats the most of it(about 70% percent of the food), he's very energetic... he's not full at all. I'm even surprised that they finished everything I brought out.

-----

[Name] Igarashi Kenta

[Special Skill] Wide-Scale Teleportation - Teleport a number of people to the place on the user's mind. Maximum number of people: 5000, Maximum limit of teleportation: 5x a month. Notice: Teleportation can't cross dimension lines

-----

It can only be use five times a month but the amount of people is absurd. It's good for immediate evacuation when a disaster like earthquake, landslide, typhoon, tsunami and many others occur all of a sudden. It's also good for raids and war, imagine peacefully sleeping inside your base and the next moment you know your base got raided without any notice, not from the outside but the inside.

I wonder what dimension lines means... maybe it can't cross worlds?

"Can you do it?" I asked Kenta.

"Who are you talking to? It is I the great spatial mage who can teleport at the speed of light, Lightning." who's that new character? "Truthfully I can sense how to use my special skill correctly, like someone is teaching me inside my head." and you're back to normal that fast.

"Sense, eh?"

"That's also the same in my case, when I want to use it earlier I think someone is instructing me from the back of my head." Yukio said.

"It's also the same with me." Junta agreed with Yukio.

"It's the same with me too." and lastly Taiga.

"No one teach me though, I wonder if there's wrong with my special skill." or maybe I hadn't heard or sensed it?

"But aren't you tapping your special skill in the status board earlier, Taiga." Yukio with an annoying face look at Taiga.

"I just thought I'll earn earth magic if I do what Reiji do earlier, you don't know maybe it'll work."

"You and your excuses."

"Huh? you want a fight?" and there they go again.

I left them alone and started picking up the bottles of water they haven't drink yet, there are still twelve left unopened one so I put all of it in my inventory. You don't know when you'll need these things so it's better to put these in my inventory, it's never enough to have much water.

Anyways, is it okay to leave like this? the school rooftop is in literal mess. Well I'll just clean it at a later date after we get out of this sphere.

"Kenta I'm already done, let's go."

"Oh, okay."

Kenta then started posing, it's the pose Yukio did earlier. I wonder if they love that pose?

A few seconds later, a blue magic circle appeared below my feet and also the other's feet.

And then...

X-x-X-x-X

"This is the old school building's rooftop though." I didn't even notice until I look around but suddenly we're already in this place.

"I just thought it'll be scary if it failed so I tried it in this place first."

"In a sense you're right, it'll be scary if we just appear in front of other people suddenly."

"I don't think you two are talking in the same page at all but since we already know how Kenta's special skill works." what is Junta talking about? "Why don't we try teleporting out of the sphere?" that's a good idea.

"Ooh, nice Junta." Yukio lying on the ground give us a thumbs up.

Taiga did the same. These guys are lying on the ground because they're doing sumo earlier, they're mindlessly tiring each other out.

"How about Yukio's backyard? it's pretty big so there's no problem right? then we can get back to the others and help them if it works." I suggested.

Yukio gives us another thumbs up, and also get up already. Junta, Taiga and Kenta also gives me a thumbs up.

...

After a few seconds, a blue magic circle appears once again below our feet and then...

...

We're inside the gym, the place farthest from the side of the sphere, the center of the school.

"It didn't work huh? looks like teleporting out of this is out of the question."

"What should we do? I still have three left." Kenta asked.

"Let's teleport near the club buildings, it is near the side of the sphere and also there's not much people there because they're at the entrance gate right now so we can try destroying the sphere with no hindrance."

"Ok-"

"Hey guys, what are you doing here? We've looked around everywhere for the five of you but you're just here."

"Oh Iori what's up, you're sweating too much." I turned and greet the girl who's coming from our back.

"Don't 'what's up?' me, I'll kill you. I've been looking for you everywhere, where have you been?" yeah, it's obvious she's looking for us. She looks very tired along with her two friends which I'm sure she dragged everywhere she goes.

After getting near me she look at me with killing eyes and she clench her right fist. Uhm... please don't kill me.

"Relax, here drink this water." I took out three mineral water from my inventory and tried to give it to her and her friends.

...

...

...

...but I got punched in the face instead.
