[Resilience through Rage] was simply a skill that allowed him to feel less pain for a short period, with his SP pool he could use it for a total of 10 seconds every day.

[Vision beyond Sight] gave him better vision and the ability to see ghosts and mana, both of which were good, but the best part came in the form of the two active skills.

He gained [Inspect], which functioned like appraisal in manga and biological binoculars [Farsight]. With a pool of 10 MP, he needed to figure out how fast he could regain 10 MP before he could use it fully.

[Forged through Vengeance] could be considered a cheat for boss monsters provided you could live through fighting the same boss repeatedly. Having enough AP for [Skill Prediction] to activate would allow domination of a known opponent. Hiro believed the activation should be automatic otherwise the skill would be useless.

The three passive skills he got increased his defense, resistance to fear and panic, and blunt trauma. The only problem was the negative effect of [Insanity]. It would be dangerous not knowing when it would trigger and how long the period would last.

The skills were not bad and were certainly welcome additions to Hiro's abilities but more than that they represented the system's recognition of his efforts. Hiro's troubles grew lighter just from knowing he got a little bit stronger.

If he could enter Starfall it should be possible for him to gain sufficient strength to help Rhyne. He needed to defend her from Dylan after all. What Hiro lack the most right now was information.

Standing up and feeling good, Hiro checked the system clock and noticed about an hour had passed while he read and studied his skills. The system clock showed half an hour away until noon, he had thirty minutes to reach the chapel.

Hiro left the room and intended to adventure a bit to find it. 'Shame I do not have a map like in video games otherwise this would be way easier.' The transmigrator started wandering along the hallways aimlessly until he bumped into a maid at one of the blind corners.

"AH!"

The sound of heavy metal echoed along the halls; Hiro only got pushed back a little while the maid fell to the floor. Hiro couldn't help but wonder if the woman carried weapons due to the sound. The noise of clinking metal was akin to armor despite her wearing only her uniform.

'The sound is like metallic chains or keys slamming together, what the hell is this maid carrying to make such a ruckus?'

Hiro then used his new skill [Inspect] to see check the maid's status.

Surprised by how low the maid's stats were, Hiro quickly apologized. When he extended his hands to help her up, he quickly noticed her features. She definitely looked plain compared to Rhyne, but she had elegance in her movements like royalty. Vanessa had a Caucasian face with blonde hair, green eyes, and a cutely shaped face.

"Ah sorry I didn't watch where I was going, are you all right Vanessa? Let me help you up."

Vanessa appeared dumbfounded for some reason, continued to stare at Hiro without saying anything. When the transmigrator assisted her in standing up, Hiro noticed the lack of warmth in her entire limb. The Maid then quickly dusted herself to make herself look presentable.

The sound of metal clicking and clashing together could be heard every time Vanessa moved her upper extremities. Hiro could not help but stare at her hands. Vanessa wore wearing a blue maid uniform with long sleeves that covered most of her arms.

But as she lacked gloves, the black-haired transmigrator noticed the metallic hands and fingers on the maid's wrists that looked like steampunk prosthetics. Vanessa who finally noticed where Hiro was staring quickly inserted her hands into her pockets while she stammered.

"I.. apologize for showing you something unsightly master, I came to fold the laundry that already dried. Thank you for helping me, but may I ask how you knew my name? Even the ones I work with call me shrimpy because I move fast and only have legs."

Hiro could only silently curse the maid's co-workers for making fun of her disability. Bullying existed no matter what world you existed in, focusing on the present Hiro answered with a smile.

"It's a skill, I am the new transmigrator. Do not worry about it Vanessa, it's not your fault you have prosthetics on. Instead, I want to apologize for invading your privacy by checking your status screen without your consent."

Vanessa who heard about the explanation waved her metallic hands in a fluster. "Ah no! it's completely okay Mitsurugi-sama! You don't have to apologize. Other people saw it as well, but you are the only one to call my name. I was just surprised."

"You know who I am? You even know how to use my surname." Hiro wondered how Vanessa suddenly knew his full name, and even more impressive how to call it respectfully.

The maid then made a dazzling smile as she answered.

"I know of eastern style names due to a mistake I made in the past. As for recognizing you, it is because Mitsurugi-sama has become quite a celebrity due to the duel.

"Despite being so handsome, Moretti-sama is infamous to the staff for being a bully. To see someone standing up to his bad behavior was amazing. It felt like someone took our fears and chased them away."

"It's a shame I just got beat up then, I'm sorry for failing your expectations then. I'm sure they all saw the state I looked like afterward and turned me into a joke." Derision, clearly audible in his voice as Hiro described the pathetic state he was in after the mythical class ass whopping the knight gave him.

But Vanessa did the unthinkable, she came near took both of Hiro's hands, and shouted in a loud voice.

"THAT ISN'T TRUE! I FOR ONE THOUGHT YOU LOOKED HEROIC! You were like the warriors from the fairy tales I used to read as a child! Please don't think you are pathetic!"

Hiro became dumbfounded by the emotional outburst of the seemly gentle maid. Calling someone who turned purple from bruises heroic either meant this girl had screws loose in her head or messing with him. In either case, he didn't want to hear anymore, so he pulled his hands away and asked.

"Okay, I'm flattered if you think so, I need to get to the chapel, can you point me to where it is?"
