Reincarnated Hero System

Chapter 525 Discussion With The Investigation Force



The young hero only shook his head slightly before activating his inventory, using an ability of the skill that he had recently become able to use.

Basically, as far as he knew exactly 'where' in his inventory a particular item was, he could instantly summon that item into his hand without having to generate the small black portal that was the opening for the skill.

He had been able to do this ever since he attained grandmaster level of strength. Of course, there was a size limit to this too.

'When I get to Legendary Level, I can enter the inventory myself. Though at that stage, it'd be more of a subspace.'

While thinking that he used the skill to instantly apport his Adventurer Guild card in his hand and then spoke.

"Which do you want? Adventurer?"

Flipping his hand, he returned the adventurer card back to the inventory and then apported his noble badges.

"Or is it noble?"

In his hands were his two noble badges, one showing his identity as a member of the Eris Dukedom, and the other with his own crest as the Count Bourne.

He poured magic power into the both of them and they lit up with a light glow, signifying he was indeed the owner of the two.

Seeing this, the Colonel nodded in affirmation, before pulling out his own military badge and formally introducing himself, along with the two SS rankers.

He spoke in a way that acknowledged Evan's noble esteemed status and served to establish a formal and courteous tone in their interaction.

"I'm guessing you want to make inquiries on what happened here, huh?"

"Yes. I would appreciate it if you cooperated with us. This is quite the serious indecent."

Taking a momentary glance at the mountain that Craitid levelled with his initial dragon breath and the massive craters in the ground from the others that followed, Evan thought.

'No shit.'

"I see no problem with that."

The boy replied as he jumped off from Silverwing's corpse, apporting a random magic stone into his palm mid-air and channelling the energy into his unique skill.

The instant his feet touched the ground, his magic power surged, manifesting in a frigid outburst that engulfed the entire floor in a shimmering veil of ice.

The speed at which the ice spread out was so fast that by the time the A rankers present could even realise what was happening, the ground in a radius of about 250m of Evan's position was frozen in ice.

Of course, for the S rankers, their superior kinetic visions allowed them to see the ice spreading out in slow motion, but they did nothing since there was no hostile intent behind it.

Besides, it was a lot more convenient than standing on the scorched earth.

Evan then opened his inventory once more, this time, pulling out a foldable table and placing it on the ice, before tossing out a few foldable chairs to the Colonel and the SS rankers.

"Let's sit. Standing and talking is a hassle."

Just when one of the SS rankers, a lion beastman was trying to rationalize why Evan had chairs and a table in his inventory, he saw the boy pull out a mini fridge and collect some cold drinks from it.

He was so stunned that the chair he was holding fell onto the ground loudly.

"You have a fridge…in your inventory?"

"Isn't this normal for anyone with the skill?"

"No, it's clearly not."

The Colonel couldn't help but retort in response to Evan's question. He had quite a few people under him with the inventory skill, members of the military support division and he had never seen any of them carry refrigerators with their skill.

"Oh, I see.

Yours is the Ultra rare variant that scales in accordance to how much energy you have."

"How do you know that?"

The beastman adventurer picked up the chair and set it down properly, taking a seat before answering Evan's question.

"The normal Inventory skill has a fixed amount of space that only increases after the user levels up by 100 or so.

But the Ultra rare variant scales depending on the user's energy, and its scaling multiplier is about three times higher than the other.

The fact that you can afford to have that in your inventory and consider it normal is enough for anyone who understands the difference to tell the variant you have."

After he was done talking, one of the S rankers present came over and asked a question that was on the mind of most of the adventurers after seeing his guild card.

"Pardon me, but may I ask why your Guild Card is still a Rank B?"

"Ah, that.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

I'm supposed to get the A rank one next Monday in Gerfast."

Evan's answer was indirectly informing the Colonel that regardless of whatever decision he and the rest of Shelde's government arrived at, he was going back to Gerfast when he wanted and was not going to agree to be detained in Duscon for any reason.

Naturally, the man got the hint from the gaze Evan gave him, coughing lightly before going on to detail the sequence of Events from earlier in the day.

"Earthquakes?"

When he heard that Shelde and Lastham suffered a series of Earthquakes earlier in the day, Evan was surprised as he was very much unaware of this.

He had appraised the Colonel earlier and had seen the man possessed the Intuition skill, and Evan was honestly considering copying the skill from him due to its usefulness.

With that skill, if Evan lied about anything he said, though the man would not be able to tell directly, he'd feel something about the boy's words being 'off' and 'don't seem right'.

Such Vague feelings would be what the skill would give, but when coupled with the wit of a commanding military officer in charge of multiple brigades, guessing that Evan is lying would not be too hard.

However, in this case, Evan truly didn't know that his party's battle with Silverwing earlier in the day was the cause of the Earthquakes that they had suffered.

"I'm not so sure about the earthquakes you speak of.

I only started the battle here at about some time after noon or s-Ah, my watch's broken."

Evan glanced at his watch as he spoke and saw that the screen was busted, sighing softly before taking it off and switching it for a spare he had in his inventory.

"Afternoon? That checks out with the time the forest's monsters started running out."

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm "That's when we started sensing the energy fluctuations too."

They discussed among themselves while Evan was busy checking how far Adaptive Evolution's analysis had gone.

'It hasn't spent this much analysing something before. Could this be the time when I finally get to bypass Level 300?'

Expectations began building up in his heart but he decided to hold himself back, considering the possibility of failure. He didn't want to get his hopes high only to meet with disappointment.

"So, can I just detail how my activities here panned out?"

"That'd be appreciated."

"Good."

Like so, Evan began his little story of half-truths.

He told them he came to get materials to repair his damaged sword, showing them the cracks on the Unforged, then got attacked by a Giant Bear. After this, he entered a cave in the destroyed mountain, encountered Silverwing who was his target and fought the monster along with his party.

"Silverwing?"

"The dead bird behind me."

"Oh. Carry on please."

Then, he 'had lunch' with his party members and returned outside the cave, only to be ambushed by a couple of other 'beings' whom he promptly defeated before incinerating their corpses.

Pulling out an artifact from his inventory, he continued speaking.

"Then I got attacked by a dragonkin who tried to assassinate me. The dude transformed into the dead wyvern on the ground over there and I'm guessing you guys could see the rest."

"Wait up…did you just say someone tried to assassinate you?"

"Yeah.

Remember the Undead stuff last year? Friends of the 'Disaster of Graugro' didn't like my involvement in killing the guy so they wanted me dead."

Evan replied to the Colonel's words with a shrug of his shoulders, as if it wasn't anything serious, but it was totally the opposite for the man.

"Perhaps, the other 'beings' who attacked you after you returned from fighting that monster bird…were they assassins too?"

"Yep. The first batch."

"…"

The SS ranker went silent upon seeing Evan's nonchalant reply while Colonel Onas felt a serious headache coming.

Evan's assassination attempt wasn't something too surprising for him.

Sure, his home country, the GWE was a Major World power, but they still had a few enemies among other World Powers. There were also some other countries who allied with each other and believed they could stand up to a Major World Power nation with their alliance.

Situations where, geniuses, prodigies, or rising stars like Evan facing assassination attempts weren't too strange. It was rare but wasn't uncommon either.
