Chapter 005
"Good morning Yu-kun."
"You're cute today too."
"Good morning, I'm a guy, so stop calling me cute"
I enter the classroom and exchange greetings with my classmates. As I exchange greetings with the girls, the boys focus their murderous gazes on me, but I ignore them and take my seat.
"Tomorrow, I'll show you my reincarnated form, so look forward to it."
"There's no way you can reincarnate. The most you can do is a pointless non-combat skill."
In this world, you are granted a skill on your 14th birthday. In Japan, you receive a notice from the government office one month before, and you must report to the designated government office at 10pm the day before your birthday.
You are granted the skill at midnight on your birthday, and your status can be viewed, so you are obligated to register it. If skills are misused, they can cause great damage, so this is a measure to prevent this.
If this were my previous life, there would have been protests, but in this world, Japan has never entered the World War II, so it is still an empire. The public authorities are much stronger than in my previous life, so no one complains about such things.
"Boys are really childish, aren't they?"
"It's not like reincarnation skills come out that often. Look at reality for a second."
The girls glare coldly at the noisy boys, but the boys themselves don't notice. The reincarnation the boys were talking about is not actually reincarnation in the meaning that you get a new life.
There is a rare skill called [Beastman transformation] and when this skill is activated, the person becomes a beastman as the name suggests, and cannot return to being a normal human.
When you become a beastman, you acquire skills that are advantageous in battle, such as [Strength enhancement], [Agility enhancement], [Hearing enhancement], and [Vision enhancement], which come with that race, so there is no one who acquires [Beastman transformation] and doesn't use it.
Currently, four types have been confirmed: dog, cat, bear, and rabbit, and since any of them can be used in dungeons, those who are reincarnated are considered the ultimate winners.
"Well, even if reincarnation isn't possible, I'd still like some magic-based skill."
"You're still being extravagant. I'll be looking forward to seeing what kind of dud skill you get."
The boys are still making a fuss, but I don't have the slightest interest in other people's skills. I might form a party in the future, but when I do, I want to make sure it's made up of members with down-to-earth ways of thinking.
In the end, the boy who came to school the day after that was given the skill [makes a futon fluffy in an instant] and he was very depressed.
I think that's a useful skill in itself, but it probably won't be valued in this world where combat skills are valued.
And three weeks later, I would be celebrating my 14th birthday.
