Fake 17: The Fourth Skill


“So, it is Atashiro-kun and the others who were defeating the goblin. I just saw your fight, and it was a smooth battle.”
“Yup~ that’s right. We are going to reach F-rank soon. Although it won’t be helpful to you in any way even if you look at our battle, well, do your best. Hahaha~”
“Well then, we are going this way.”
“See ya~”

Sure enough, Atashiro was a detestable guy like I thought.
Good-looking guys—Ikemen—have bad personalities.
Or, does this guy who has a bad personality just happen to be Ikemen?
In any case, I can’t believe how he can be so popular with the girls in the class with that kind of personality. I wonder if those girls who usually flock to him are only looking at this guy's exterior.
Upon leaving, I heard them talking from behind—

“Today was an easy victory as well. I have to brag to the girls at school tomorrow~. I can’t leave out how I met that Bocchi. And also, about how he is acting like a meat wall by wearing a breastplate. Hahaha!”

Honestly, the worst personality.
However, when I think about it carefully, those guys were defeating a goblin with three people. Furthermore, they said they were about to reach F-rank soon, so they are probably at the lowest G-rank right now.
As for me, I have not only defeated many goblins by myself but also reached F-rank due to the recent rank-up. Generally speaking, ain’t I stronger?
Nevertheless, I imitated Atashrio's skill, which I saw earlier, this time.

“[Ice Javelin]”

I was somewhat reluctant about imitating the skill of that detestable Atashiro. But, I didn't have other choices because I wanted to use my fourth skill quickly.
The instant the skill was activated, a little smaller ice javelin appeared and flew forward.

Survivor – Lv5
Skill – [Faker] <<Wave Blade 4>> <<Fireball 4>> <<Lightning 0>> <<Ice Javelin 3>>


When I checked my Status, <<Ice Javelin 3>> was displayed in the fourth skill column.
Since I activated the skill once just earlier as a test, it means I can use [Ice Javelin] four times.
This has the same skill-usable times as [Wave Blade] and one less than [Fireball], so this skill is probably more powerful than [Fireball].
Anyway, I’ve been concerned with skill-usable times of [Fireball]. So, it can be said that my fighting power has considerably increased because the number of long-range attacks has increased by four.
I became even more fired up for tomorrow's subjugations.
When I went to school the next morning, I heard Atashiro boasting to the three girls.

“I killed a goblin in a blink yesterday as well~. I have a feeling that goblins aren’t opponents for me anymore. Although it is natural because I am about to rise to F-rank.”
“Ehh~ as expected, isn’t Atashiro-kun amazing? Becoming an F-rank at this stage, isn't it quite fast?”
“You think so too? Well, it is just a matter of course, hahaha. By the way, I happened to meet Bocchi-kun after defeating the goblin yesterday.”
“Eh~ Who is Bocchi-kun?”
“It’s him, that guy over there”

I saw Atashiro pointing his finger in my direction, but I pretended not to notice because it was troublesome.

“Ah~ Yamaoki-kun? What was he doing?”
“You know, a meat wall”
“Eh? What, a meat wall?”
“It is like that~, it appears that even he occasionally goes out hunting~. That guy doesn’t have any offensive ability. That’s why he seems to be acting like a human shield by equipping a breastplate. That is too pitiful.”
“Ah~ therefore, a meat wall. Well….even so, that might be unavoidable if he can’t attack.”

Seriously, these people are saying whatever they want about other people. I can’t stand Atashiro, but I am also furious with the girl who is getting in tune with him.
You said being a meat wall is unavoidable – Bullshit, there is no way you can face monsters like that.
Naturally, you will die even if you wear a breastplate.
You guys are also survivors; if you use your brains even a little, you will get it.
Except for super-high level macho guys, acting like a meat wall against monsters is impossible for anyone. As for me, I won’t be able to take even a single blow.
Thanks to Atashiro’s nonsense chatter, I gained my third nickname ‘Meat wall’ following after ‘Bocchi-kun’ and ‘Incompetent’.
It is okay if you call me Bocchi. Just leave me alone quietly.
There is no way I can quit school no matter how much I am being ridiculed, but things will get annoying later, so I really want you to stop.

Ignoring prejudiced evaluations from the surroundings, I continued subjugating monsters almost every day as a survivor. This time, I reached level 6 without taking even a month.
