Volume 1: Re:Zero -Starting Life as a Samurai Chapter 2 System Details
After simply washing his face a few times, Obi returned to the dojo.
When Ogata ran out of the dojo to wash his face, a new round of competition had already begun in the dojo.
——Where should I sit?
Just as Ogata was worrying about where to sit, a very familiar voice came into his ears:
"Senior, here."
Ogata looked in the direction of the voice.
The person who spoke was the junior fellow student who had just competed with Ogata - Makino Fumushiro.
There happened to be an empty seat next to Makino.
Ogata walked over quickly and knelt down next to Makino.
Just like the sword fight just now - the familiar yet unfamiliar feeling appeared again.
Before he came here, Ogata had never tried sitting on his knees.
At this moment, he completed the kneeling posture beside Muyedi easily and naturally, just like breathing.
Ogata was no longer surprised by this familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.
"how?"
After kneeling down beside Makino, Obe asked Makino with a smile:
"Does your chest still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
Makino rubbed his chest and continued with a smile:
"Thanks to the mercy shown by Senior, I won't feel the pain after a short rest."
Just now when he was dueling with Makino, Ogata restrained his strength in time and did not injure Makino.
If the wooden sword had hit Makino's chest hard, Makino might not have been able to kneel beside Ogata and chat with him like he was doing now.
Makino Fumishiro - one of Ogata Yoshisei's few good friends, one year younger than Ogata.
He studied Sakakibara Ittoryu with Ogata, but because Makino became Sakakibara Hanbei's disciple later than Ogata, he was Ogata's junior.
Because the two of them have a good relationship, they always learn from each other like they did just now.
However, because Makino's swordsmanship was inferior to Ogata's, Makino usually ended up losing in every duel with Ogata.
… …
…
After the two brothers chatted briefly for a few minutes, they stopped talking.
Makino was concentrating on watching his two fellow disciples fighting with swords in the center of the sword hall.
Ogata pretended to watch the competition while secretly studying the system in his brain.
After silently saying "system" several times in his mind, a virtual screen appeared in front of him.
[Name: Ogata Noriyoshi]
[Level: Lv7: 570 /600]
Personal attributes:
Strength: 5
Agility: 5
Reflexes: 5
Stamina: 5
Vitality: 5
[Martial Arts School:
Sakakibara Ittoryu: 3rd stage: 420/500】
[Remaining skill points: 0 points]
【Sakakibara Ittoryu (3rd stage):
Climbing: Beginner
Water Fall: Intermediate
Bird thorn: primary
Dragon Tail: Primary
The simple and easy-to-understand personal attribute interface is clear at a glance.
It’s just that this person’s attributes make Ogata want to complain.
——Strength, speed, reflexes, stamina, vitality, these five attributes are all 5 points, this attribute is too average...
After silently complaining about his personal combat power, which averaged "5", Ogata began to carefully study the various items in this human interface.
Ogata noticed that there was a small question mark at the end of some entries.
When Ogata focuses his eyes on this small question mark, the question mark will turn into a virtual interface box, which will explain some basic information of the entry.
For example, when Ogata focused his attention on the small question mark after "level", the small question mark turned into a virtual interface box, which explained the purpose of the level to Ogata in simple sentences.
[You will gain experience points by defeating or killing enemies. The stronger the enemy you defeat or kill, the more experience points you will gain. The current level is 7, and you will gain 1 skill point for each level you upgrade.]
Pretty straightforward and easy to understand instructions.
——Skill points... What are the use of skill points...
As Ogata thought to himself, he moved his gaze to look at the small question mark behind the entry "Remaining Skill Points".
[You can spend skill points to improve your personal attributes, or upgrade the level of each skill of each martial arts school]
[Each skill point you spend can increase a certain attribute's ability value by 1 point]
[Spend 1 skill point to unlock a new skill of a certain martial arts school]
[Spend 1 skill point to upgrade the unlocked skill from "Basic" martial arts to "Intermediate" martial arts, spend 2 skill points to upgrade "Intermediate" martial arts to "Advanced" martial arts]
[Spend 4 skill points to upgrade "Advanced" martial arts to "Master" martial arts, spend 8 skill points to upgrade "Master" martial arts to "Grandmaster" martial arts]
This entry has a lot more explanation, but it is also easier to understand.
——Martial arts...are you referring to the following ones...
Ogata moved his gaze to the end of the personal attribute interface.
Currently, in this column of martial arts styles, there is only one martial arts style, "Sakakibara Ittoryu", which means that Ogata currently only knows this style.
[Martial arts school: When you defeat or kill an enemy with the skills of a certain martial arts school, you can increase the experience value of that martial arts school. When the experience value is full, you can upgrade. The highest level of each martial arts school is 15 levels. For each level of martial arts school, you can gain 2 skill points. ]
After reading the explanation of the entry, Ogata remembered that when he was dueling with Makino just now, when he used the Dragon Tail of Sakakibara Ittoryu to knock Makino down, he did hear the words that Sakakibara Ittoryu gained experience points.
Ogata digested all the information he had just learned.
——The highest level of martial arts is 15th level, and the only martial arts I know, "Sakakibara Ittoryu", is only at 3rd level... It seems that I still need to work hard and upgrade slowly...
——The entry for “Skill Points” just now said: You can use skill points to upgrade the skill level of each martial arts school.
——Sakakibara Ittoryu only has four moves: Dragon Tail, Climbing Tower, Bird Thorn, and Water Fall.
——Among these four moves, “Water Fall” has the highest level, which is intermediate.
——The other 3 moves are all elementary.
——Heh, that's pretty accurate. My body memory and the memory in my mind both tell me: the sword technique I am best at in Sakakibara Ittoryu is "Water Fall".
——According to the description of the "Skill Points" item just now, I can spend 2 skill points to upgrade "Water Fall" from intermediate to advanced.
——You can also spend 1 skill point to upgrade any of the three moves, "Bird Thorn", "Dragon Tail", and "Climbing the Tower", from elementary to intermediate...
—Wow… It takes more than a dozen skill points to upgrade a sword skill from the elementary level to the highest level, the master level…
——And my current skill points are...
——0 o’clock……
——Skill points are quite valuable...
——Skill points can be used to improve personal attributes as well as sword skills.
——To upgrade a sword skill to the highest level, a huge amount of skill points must be spent...
——To raise my personal attribute values and turn me into a superman, I would also need a huge amount of skill points...
After digesting all the information obtained from studying the system just now, the only conclusion Ogata came to was that skill points were very important and every skill point should not be wasted.
…
…
"Senior, senior."
Makino, who was sitting next to Ogata, suddenly poked Ogata with his elbow.
"Makino, what are you doing?"
"How dare you ask me why?" Makino cast a puzzled look at Ogata. "Senior, you are indeed a little distracted today. Didn't you hear the master calling you? It's your turn to duel with swords again. Your opponent this time is very strong, so be careful."
