Chapter 24: I Tried Out My Extra Skill (Part 1)
"I’m home."
After escorting Alicia to the faculty office and returning home, I found the house completely dark.
Kana’s dojo should be closed today, so I had expected her to be home by now.
Well, maybe she was out having fun with her friends somewhere. Thinking that, I turned on the lights—
"…Welcome back."
Kana was slumped on the living room sofa, her voice drained of energy.
"What’s wrong? Did you catch a cold?"
"…Nothing. School was just a little exhausting today. I’ll rest for a bit, then I’ll start making dinner."
"You should stay and rest. I’ll take care of today’s chores instead."
"…Then I’ll leave it to you."
There was no way I could let her do housework in this state.
I put on my favorite plain black apron and started preparing dinner.
I grabbed the leftover vegetables, some sausages, a can of tomatoes, and some consommé from the fridge, throwing everything into a pot to make a simple minestrone. A side of garlic toast should be enough to go with it.
But before that—
"It’ll be ready soon, but do you think you can eat?"
"…Not yet. Just put it in the fridge."
"Got it. Also, I’m heading out for a bit later, so take care of the house."
"…Okay."
I placed a note on the pot’s lid reminding her to reheat the soup, cleaned the bathroom, and then got ready to head out.
Just before leaving, I glanced back at the living room. Kana was still lying on the sofa.
"Do you want me to buy anything for you?"
"No, don’t worry about it."
She simply closed her eyes after saying that.
I placed a hand on her forehead just to be sure—no fever. It didn’t seem like she was sick.
I draped a blanket over her and, though I wasn’t sure if it would help with fatigue, cast a healing spell just in case.
Then, I finally left the house.
◇◇◇
After running at full speed for about ten minutes from my house, I arrived at a clearing in the mountains—
The place where I had met Kuon a month ago and defeated the Ushioni.
"Sorry, I’m late."
"No, it’s fine."
Standing in the clearing was Kuon Miyari, dressed in sportswear.
"So… you wanted my help with an experiment or something?"
"Yeah, I want to test out the skill I got after defeating the Ushioni."
As I spoke, I pulled up my Status.

―――
The skill I wanted to test this time was the newly acquired Extra Skill: "Skill Bestowal."
I had tried using "Appraisal" beforehand to check its effects, but as expected, the results were vague.
Target: Extra Skill ["Skill Bestowal"]
State: Skill Level 10/10
Description: Allows the user to lend their possessed skills to a specific individual.
Note: Since the skill level has reached its maximum, no EXP bonus can be obtained.
"Skill Bestowal"—just as its name suggests, it seemed to grant the ability to "lend" my own skills to someone else.
Additionally, this might apply only to Extra Skills, but it seemed they were acquired at max level from the start.
Now, as you might guess from its effect, "Skill Bestowal" was not something I could test alone.
That’s why I had asked Kuon Miyari to join me, since she already had some knowledge about skills and status systems.
And this test wasn’t just about understanding "Skill Bestowal" in detail—there was another reason behind it.
"So, this skill… what exactly does it do?"
"To put it simply, it's a skill that lets me lend my skills to someone else."
"…I see. So that’s why you called me here."
"You're quick on the uptake. That helps a lot."
As I explained, I began preparing for the experiment.
The skills I planned to lend to Kuon were the recently acquired "Physical Enhancement" and "Physical Enhancement (Medium)."
Both were skills that temporarily increased physical abilities, with their only differences being MP consumption and the magnitude of the enhancement.
"Alright."
I looked Kuon straight in the eyes and reached out my hand.
First, I decided to try lending "Physical Enhancement."
"Skill Bestowal."
The moment I activated the skill, a faint light briefly enveloped Kuon’s body.
"Do you feel anything strange?"
"Not particularly… So, what’s next?"
"When I give the signal, try focusing on the words 'Physical Enhancement' in your mind—then, jump as high as you can."
"Understood."
Meanwhile, I checked my status once again.

"Skill Bestowal" consumes 20 MP?
Considering that "Physical Enhancement" only costs 5 MP, that's quite expensive…
"Alright, give it a try."
"…Okay!"
Kuon closed her eyes, focused, and then pushed off the ground with great force.
Her body soared through the air, like something out of an action movie.
"Whoa!?"
She probably hadn’t expected to jump that high.
Although she wobbled slightly upon landing, she somehow managed to regain her balance.
"You okay?"
"Yes! I’m fine!"
"Just don’t overdo it. Also—"
At that moment, I noticed a change in my status.
"…Kuon, can you try using the skill again, just like before?"
Kuon nodded and activated "Physical Enhancement" once more, jumping into the air.
This time, having gotten used to it, she landed smoothly.
But that wasn’t what caught my attention.
