person evolves when they level up. There is a huge difference between Level One and Level Two.
    Level Two is much,
much
stronger.
    The goddess calls it ranking up.
    Let’s see… My “Strength,” “Utility,” and “Agility” went up this time… Wait a sec, what’s up with my “Agility”?! I went from H-148 to H-172! Up 24 points from yesterday?!
    It must be because I got chased around for who knows how long by the Minotaur.
    The excelia system is pretty simple. A person gains experience when they use a basic skill. For example, to gain Defense, I wouldhave to actually get hit by a monster in battle. But all I do is run and dodge, so my Defense almost never goes up.
    Eina told me that armor and some weapons raise Defense just by equipping them, but I just run away, so what’s the point? Damn, this is embarrassing.
    “Um, Goddess? When do you think I’ll be able to use magic?”
    “Even I don’t know that. I hear people who can use magic have high intelligence in their excelia… You don’t read much, though, do you, Bell?”
    “No…”
    Magic has to be the first thing people look forward to when they get a blessing.
    Before the gods came to Gekai, only a few races could use very limited magic. But now that the gods give out blessings, anyone can learn to use it as long as they’re in a
Familia
.
    A person can use up to three different kinds of magic. But knowing only one magic is pretty common. I’ve been told that adventurers who know two kinds of magic become anchors of their team.
    Magic is that important. There’s a legend that long ago, an elf used wind magic to slice and dice one hundred humans. Magic is the ultimate trump card that can turn the tables in any situation.
    Who could defeat someone who can cast “Sea of Flames” with only a sword? I know I can’t.
    There is only one magic slot in my status. I guess that means I can only learn one… eh?
    “Goddess, there seems to be something in my Skill slot. It looks like something was erased…”
    “Hmm… Oh! Some ink got on my hand, and it got smudged. It’s still open like normal, don’t worry.”
    “Just my luck…”
    I won’t lie; I got my hopes up a bit.
    Skills are completely separate from basic abilities. When activated, they either have an effect on battle or on the user’s body itself.If the status shows improvement in ability, then skills are like a beneficial chemical reaction that tacks on something extra.
    Skills may not be as flashy as magic, but they don’t cost as much to use… Though they do cost something…
    I glance over my updated status one last time and look up at the clock on the wall. Then I turn to the goddess.
    “Goddess, it’s already evening. Shall I get dinner ready? I know we’re going to have a potato snack party, but that won’t be enough to fill us up, right?”
    “Sure, I’ll leave it to you, Bell.”
    “Right-o.”
    I turn from the goddess’s cute smile and go to the kitchen. I can only cook really easy stuff, but yeah. Eina told me I need to think more about money. I’ll start focusing on that. I should try to save as much as possible from now on.
    I can feel the goddess staring at my back, but I have some ideas on how to rework my contract. Maybe I can get more money that way!

    Hestia gave Bell a send-off to the kitchen as if she were seeing him off to war. Once he was there, she let out a quiet but heavy sigh.
    She picked up his status sheet from the bed and compared it to the one written on his back.
    Children change so fast… Completely different from us.
    Even the slightest thing could change them and spread quickly.
    It wasn’t desire or culture that defined the people of Gekai. Change did.
    I hate this! He changed because of her, and it isn’t fair! I won’t accept it!
    She held her head between her hands, scratching back and forth.
    Damn it!
    She took another look at Bell’s back.
    Specifically, she looked at his Skill slot.
