I’m an Appraiser, But What the Heck is a [Divine Eye]? ~I Want to Live Freely as the World’s Best Beginner Class~ - Episode 18: The Super Common Hero Summoning 16

Episode 18: The Super Common Hero Summoning 16

“So, what is your profession, Alicia?”

“My profession?”

“Yes. I heard Glenn is an Appraiser, but I realized I hadn’t asked about your profession.”

Since she was going to become a lord, she probably didn’t have a beginner’s class. She might even have an intermediate or maybe even an advanced class.

“I have two professions: Mage and Lord. By the way, Mage is a lower-class profession, and Lord is an intermediate class.”

“…Wait, you can have two professions?”

I didn’t know how professions were determined, but I thought you could only have one. However, it seems I wasn’t entirely wrong. It turns out that you need special conditions to acquire a second profession.

“To put it simply, you become a king of some country or, like me, a lord of a territory.”

“…Is that all?”

“Yes, that’s it. However, that alone means taking responsibility for many lives.”

“I see. By taking on that responsibility, you can obtain a second profession. But is there any benefit to it? Honestly, I’m not sure how being a lord is useful.”

I could imagine that an Appraiser like me would have the ability to discern items, and a Hero or Sage would have strong stats just by their titles. But I couldn’t figure out how having Lord as a profession would be beneficial.

“When you become a Lord, you gain skills that have invisible effects. That skill is called—Charisma.”

“…Charisma? Is that the kind of ‘charisma’ that attracts people or leads them, like the kind of thing humans possess?”

“Exactly. However, my Charisma skill is at level 1, so it does come with its share of issues.”

So, the previous lord must have had a high level in that Charisma skill.

“How do skill levels increase?”

“As a Lord, I raise my level by uniting my people. I’ve heard from Glenn that Appraisers raise their levels by evaluating many items or rare ones. By the way, what’s the level of your Appraisal skill, Maki-san?”

“My Appraisal skill is level 10.”

“…Huh? I’m sorry, but I seem to have missed that. Can you say it again?”

“So, it’s level 10.”

“…Isn’t that the limit?!”

Yes, that’s right. It is indeed capped out.

“But you started with your Appraisal skill at level 10, right?”

“…Wow, Maki-san is starting to look like a god to me.”

“What? Why?”

I couldn’t make sense of being considered a god by having level 10 skill of a beginner class.

“To tell the truth, Appraisers are a beginner class. But there are intermediate and advanced classes for it as well.”

“Really? Is that so?”

“Yes. Ancient Appraisers are an intermediate class, and Holy Item Appraisers are an advanced class.”

“Is there no special class?”

“I’ve never heard of one. However… I think Maki-san’s Appraiser (Divine Eyes) might be a special class of Appraiser.”

…Excuse me? My Appraiser (Divine Eyes) is a special class?

“…No way, that can’t be true.”

“No, the fact that your Appraisal skill starts at level 10 is already abnormal. Level 10 in any skill is considered on par with being heroic.”

“…Even in Appraisal skills?”

“All skills. I’ve never heard of a Holy Item Appraiser reaching skill level 10.”

Oh, could it be that I could have received special treatment if I had explained this properly at the royal castle?

…No, no, no, I absolutely wouldn’t want to work under that king. I won’t complain about that.

“If I were an advanced class Appraiser, would the increase in ability stats when leveling up be significant?”

“…Honestly, I can’t say. The chances of encountering an advanced class are so rare, you might only see one once in a lifetime.”

…Could it be that I’m as precious a being as Madoka or the other special classes?

Despite being surprised by my own situation, I felt I had learned a lot today.

And as I felt moved by the fact that the two of them were making efforts for me, I also strongly felt that I needed to repay them somehow.
