I Will Be Unrivaled With The Skill [Sewing]! They Said It Was A Bad Skill, But With Effort, I will Make It A Hit~ - Chapter 29
TL note : Hello, I’m the same translator as before, just moving to this new Group. Here’s the chapter.
Episode 29: The Pin
Maior woke up due to a terrible stench.
“Ugh, it stinks. It’s the smell of monster repellent…”
Muttering that, she twisted her body and noticed a large leaf draped over her. It must have been Seneca’s doing.
Her body was filled with fatigue, but not to the point where she couldn’t walk. With some rest, she would be able to move again. Her injuries didn’t seem to be worsening, at least for now.
Maior used her 【Detection】 .
She could sense Seneca and Attalos walking towards her. It seemed Attalos was leaning on Seneca for support, the two of them stumbling their way over.
After waiting for a bit, the two figures came into view.
Maior got up and called out to her friend.
“Seneca! You’re safe!”
“Maior!”
They walked towards her.
“Are you feeling okay?”
“I’m fine. How about you, Attalos-san?”
“Ah, I’m alright too. Seneca said we could avoid monsters here, so we came straight. With potions and healing magic, I’ll recover for sure. I’m just glad you’re alive. When you were thrown, my heart nearly stopped.”
Attalos’s face was pale, lacking his usual vigor. Seneca carefully helped him sit against the trunk of an oak tree.
“You might not remember, Maior, but you were thrown an unbelievable distance. Luckily, you landed in a good spot, but I was really worried.”
“Really, that far?”
Maior asked, and Attalos, glowing faintly from the healing magic, nodded.
“What exactly happened?”
As Maior inquired, Attalos and Seneca detailed the events. Maior listened intently.
“So, after I was blown away by the Cyclops, Attalos-san protected me, allowing me to escape danger, but it was a tough battle. Seneca carried me to safety but decided to return to the fight after hearing something I muttered. Thanks to that, she stopped the fatal blow on Attalos-san, and you managed to cut the Cyclops down. Is that right?”
“Exactly.”
“That’s… unbelievable.”
Seneca affirmed lightly, but Maior looked like she was about to cry in confusion.
“But why was such a monster there in the first place?”
“We don’t know the full details, but sometimes, powerful monsters inhabit pocket spaces within mana pools. This is highly classified, so I can’t say more, but it seems this was one of those cases.”
Attalos looked distant as he said this.
Realizing Seneca and Maior were staring at him, he continued.
“Some high-ranking monsters are sensitive to detection skills. That Cyclops variant was probably one of them. Looking back, it might have been targeting Maior. It was a highly agile and strong troublesome monster, one that a high silver or gold-ranked party should have faced.”
Maior, who had regained some color, turned pale again.
“Attalos-san, to fight such a strong monster for so long while injured…”
“Yes, I hadn’t properly introduced myself. I’m Attalos Pergamon, a gold-ranked adventurer. Though I’m not full-time anymore, I occasionally take on requests. If ordered, I also serve as a military adventurer.”
Attalos took out his adventurer card, which bore the seal of a gold-ranked adventurer.
“I knew it.”
“Well, it makes sense. Only a gold-ranked adventurer could fight such a monster.”
Attalos nodded.
“I have a question too. Seneca, what was that skill you used on the Cyclops? I’ve never seen you move that fast. Honestly, I thought you’d crash and be crushed, and I almost averted my eyes.”
“That was a quick draw technique. I came up with a new way to use my skill, and it worked out.”
“… It didn’t seem that simple, but fine.”
Noticing Seneca’s obvious evasion, Attalos tactfully decided not to press further.
“Seneca, Maior, the fault for this incident lies entirely with me. If I had explained things properly beforehand, Maior wouldn’t have gotten hurt. I’m truly sorry. But I’m so glad you both are alive!”
Attalos bowed deeply.
The two, wide-eyed, accepted his apology.
“I’ll be resting with Maior while drinking the high-level potions, so Seneca, you should go collect the Cyclops materials. A monster like that will become a valuable asset! But do be careful.”
Seneca’s eyes sparkled, and in an instant, she ran off.
The three returned to their campsite.
They planned to rest thoroughly the next day and head back to the city the day after.
As they walked back to the campsite, Maior searched for mana pools, but since they had severed the ‘roots,’ the dense mana seemed to have dissipated. Maior thought there was still something unknown in the area, but seeing Attalos remain silent, she guessed it was something he couldn’t talk about, so she refrained from asking.
That night, Seneca volunteered to take the first watch alone.
Though there were ways to go without a watch, Seneca, feeling no fatigue and in good condition, decided to take it on herself.
“Level 3…”
Just walking the path back to the campsite, Seneca noticed her physical abilities had greatly increased. While there was a slight disconnect with her awareness, she instinctively knew how to use her enhanced body, so there wasn’t much confusion.
” 【Pin】 “
She decided to try the newly acquired sub-skill. A needle appeared.
It was a needle, but with a red flower-shaped decoration at the head.
Focusing, she summoned another, then two more—one yellow and one green.
Seneca instinctively understood how to use this ability.
She gently pierced the air with one of the needles, and it remained floating. This seemed to be the “Fixing” ability of 【Pin】 .
Next, she imagined five needles floating in the air and infused them with magic. As she envisioned, the needles appeared. When she compressed the magic contained within them and released it, they flew out just like 【Magic Needle】 . This was “Generate” and “Firing.”
Since the magic that could be infused into [Pin] was limited, Seneca felt it wasn’t suitable for long-range sniping. However, this skill didn’t require “Sewing,” so it was easy to fire. Moreover, multiple needles could be fired simultaneously, making it suitable for mid-range area attacks.
Seneca thought 【Pin】 was an incredibly useful skill. With it alone, the range of her strategies widened significantly. What seemed impossible now might become possible as she grew more proficient.
She had just acquired the power. She decided to investigate more and experiment further.
After a series of tests, Seneca stood up and drew her sword.
She raised it to her shoulder and, just like earlier, sliced the air with 【Sewing】 .
Cling.
The slash moved at an unexpected speed and cut through the air in a diagonal.
It was a perfect strike.
Though she hadn’t poured as much magic as before, Seneca could easily manipulate the air with 【Sewing】 .
But upon reflecting, Seneca realized how dangerous it was.
“It was lucky…”
At that time, she was so absorbed in the moment that she didn’t realize that moving at that speed made it extremely difficult to hit the target. It was truly a matter of pure chance that her attack landed, and if she were asked to do it again, she might not be able to.
She had infused all of her magic, making her movements incredibly fast.
Thinking back to if she had failed, Seneca shuddered. The sword itself had also been at risk. If she hadn’t handled it carefully, it could have broken.
However, despite the risks, Seneca was glad she won.
The next day, Maior and Attalos rested while gathering nearby materials.
Seneca, on her own, trained to adapt her body and used her skills.
When they returned to the campsite, Seneca cheered up Maior by mimicking a monkey and climbing up an oak tree.
By the way, it was a huge hit.
The following day, the three returned to Baetica and reported to the guild.
Basically, Attalos spoke with the higher-ups, and Seneca and Maior were only lightly questioned.
The Cyclops materials sold for a high price, and the two of them became a little wealthier. They no longer had to worry about the funds needed to enter the Adventurers’ School.
Life returned to normal after that.
Seneca reported to Maior and Kito that she had reached level 3, which shocked them both.
Hearing Seneca’s story, Kito felt a strong desire to level up but managed to hold back.
A few days later, when they asked at the guild, they learned that Attalos had quietly returned to the royal capital.
Though Seneca felt a bit lonely, she knew that once they went to the capital, they would be able to meet him, so the two decided to look forward to that moment.
Then, a week later, they received a notice of their promotion to Copper Rank and an acceptance letter for a scholarship to the Royal Adventurer School.
