Skills are the various special abilities granted by the ancestral fruit

in ancient times that bring happiness to humankind.

We must walk alongside skills towards a future full of light.

Light, what kind of skill do you want?

Dual Wield or Swift would be awesome.

Perfect Aim is nice, too.

In any case, I want a combat-type skill.

After all, I plan to become an adventurer.

That's been your dream since you were a kid.

Lena Light's Childhood Friend No Skill

Light Aspiring Adventurer No Skill

Yeah. It's exciting to think that dream will finally come true today.

The day I receive a skill and begin my second life has finally arrived.

Lena, what kind of skill do you want?

I hope I get one that lets me go into the same job as you.

Then let's become adventurers together.

Yeah.

But nobody knows what skill they'll get until they eat a fruit, right?

I'm nervous.

Don't worry. I know we can do it.

We'll become the greatest adventurers ever

and make our mark on history!

Bogus Skill

Episode 1 The Only Ingredient

And now, my brilliant adventuring life begins!

At least, it was supposed to...

Look at this size.

It's got a good balance of sweetness and sourness, too.

These are the best berries I've ever harvested.

All right!

This is my calling!

Yeah, right!

Far from my dream of becoming an adventurer,

I currently work as a fruit farmer,

all because I received this skill.

It all started three months ago,

on that day I ate a skill fruit...

The skill fruits you're about to receive are

Holy Sister Skill

special fruits that grant skills to those who eat them.

Once you acquire a skill,

you will be able to pursue professions suited to your skills.

You will choose and eat one of these fruits.

However, there is one ironclad rule you must obey.

You may only eat one skill fruit throughout your whole life.

Eating a second will poison you and result in certain death.

I-It's fatal?

Several fools have eaten a second because

they disliked the skill they received and wanted to try again.

Naturally, they all died.

Light, did you know that?

Yeah.

Everyone who wants to become an adventurer knows that.

You can't even stand on the starting line without a combat-type skill.

Every currently famous adventurer possesses an incredibly powerful skill.

I want to be like them, too.

That said, there is no problem as long as you don't eat a second fruit.

Acquiring a skill is a wonderful thing.

It's time to begin your new lives.

Just believe and eat your fruit, and you'll be okay.

O-Okay...

My body feels hot...

This is...

The Sword Saint Skill!

Sword Saint

I never thought I'd see one born here.

Sword Saint?

You are one of the chosen.

I've been waiting for an adventurer like you.

The Sword Saint skill?

Notify the guilds immediately!

That's amazing, Lena.

I hope you get a combat-type skill, too.

Yeah. I'm next.

Awaken, my skill!

I'll leave my mark on history!

Your skill is...

Fruitmaster.

What?

It's a fruit-related skill.

You can harvest more at once and shorten cultivation times.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a skill less suited to combat.

But...

I want to become an adventurer!

Can't I try again?

No. Do you want to die?

I have no future...

Don't worry, Light.

I'll grow fruit, too.

We'll build a massive plantation together.

Don't be absurd!

Holy Sister?

Sword Saints like you are only seen once a decade.

You must become an adventurer for this nation's sake.

You will move to the holy city right away.

Understood?

Y-Yes...

Light!

I'll wait for you!

Train hard on my behalf, too.

It's been three months since then.

I've been harvesting fruit for food ever since

and selling it for money.

Grow nice and big.

I'm suited to this job!

No, wait! That's not right!

I'm done harvesting. Time to sell.

Thanks again.

I'd make more money if I could use my skill on other vegetables, too.

It's a pretty crap skill since it only works on fruits.

She's been promoted to rank S in record time, huh?

When I grow up, I'm gonna be an adventurer.

Me, too. I'm gonna be like Lena.

We keep growing further apart.

Someday I want to become Lena's equal as an adventurer.

Even without a combat-type skill, I'll find a way.

If I can cut this stump in half,

then I can become an adventurer.

Ow!

It's impossible.

I bet Lena's forgotten my face and name by now.

Who are you?

M-Mister Light.

Ayla.

Good afternoon.

I brought water.

Ayla Girl Who Lives With Light No Skill

This is Ayla.

For reasons, I recently took her in.

The village chief forced her on me, and we've been living together.

It's better for both of us if we don't look into it.

So we've been living together, splitting the work and chores between us.

Um, dinner is ready. You're welcome to have some.

How was today's harvest?

Pretty good, especially the skill fruits.

Skill fruits?

I've started focusing on growing them recently.

I thought I'd save up money to buy a proper sword.

I see.

Oh, right.

I've separated out the skill fruits into those boxes.

Whatever you do, don't eat them without my permission.

What?

Um, I used a few of those fruits for the stew.

Was that all right?

What?!

You put skill fruits in the food?!

Y-Yes. They looked tasty.

Eating a second will poison you and result in certain death.

After that stern warning...

My body feels hot...

I felt this same feeling three months ago.

Am I going to die?

M-Mister Light!

Ayla, I'm sorry.

It's my fault for not teaching you about skill fruits.

Ayla, you didn't do anything wrong...

Huh?

Um, what's the matter?

Why aren't I dead?

Is this...

a new skill?

Sword God

What?! What is this?

What is it, Holy Sister?

I didn't think this could happen.

Am I alone special somehow?

In that case, why?

Ow. Ouch...

What's wrong, Ayla?

My body feels hot, and my head suddenly started hurting.

Oh, right. You ate the skill fruit, too.

Ayla, are you okay?

"Your Fruitmaster skill makes you immune to the poison of all fruits."

Immune? How do you know that?

Um, some letters saying that appeared when I looked at you.

You have another skill, too.

"Sword God."

"Your attack power increases dramatically when wielding a sword."

"Your magic resistance increases as well."

That's what it says.

Did Ayla acquire an appraisal-type skill?

Then I want to confirm the identity of this heat.

Mister Light!

If that skill is real, I should be able to cut it.

This is the Sword God skill.

Mister Light.

The tree...

Looks like I've become the only person in the world to have two skills.

I've got tasty fresh-baked goods!

Pizza! I've never seen one before, but it looks delicious.

Ayla, let's go.

Huh? What? But...

Everyone here is an adventurer?

It's pretty lively.

Mister Light, you seem happy.

Yeah. I always dreamed of coming here.

Wow, look at all these monster bounties.

Completing a bounty earns you a reward.

Then you can buy equipment and tasty food.

Tasty food?

But we didn't just come here to make money today.

This unknown skill I acquired yesterday...

How much will Sword God help me in actual battle?

I need to find out so I know if I can join the adventurers' ranks.

And if possible,

I'd like to stand beside Lena again.

Ayla, could you sit there and wait for me?

You must be tired from the long walk.

V-Very well.

Right now, I want to take a job as soon as possible.

I'm off to the reception desk.

The guild is full of powerful-looking people.

And...

Everyone has one skill.

But even though there are so many people,

only Mister Light has two skills.

I need to gather information using my Appraisal skill so I can be useful to Mr. Light.

There are Martial Arts, Enemy Detection, Fire Elemental, and Seduction skills.

Stampede. Hitting an enemy inflicts damage to the user as well.

Does that mean it's a bad skill?

Ow!

Watch where you're going.

You're the one who bumped into me.

What? An adventurer should be able to dodge that.

Hey, aren't you the guy who's always selling fruits at the market?

Fruitmaster, right?

What are you doing at the guild? You don't belong here.

Mister Light...

Ayla, let's go.

O-Okay.

Hey, don't ignore me!

What?!

H-He stopped Gene's attack!

Holding a sword improves my reaction speed, too.

I went easy on you.

Gene, don't waste your time on this guy.

Yeah, let's get out of here and win our glorious first battle.

Whatever, fine.

Ayla, it's okay now.

I got a job, so let's leave, too.

Okay.

So this area is our destination!

We'll finally see some monsters!

Ayla, this place is dangerous. Make sure you stay behind me.

Okay.

Monsters...

Mister Light, look.

There's one.

It's a slime.

That slime has a higher defense than others.

You can see that, too?

Did it notice us?

The first one to strike wins.

Don't let me down, Sword God.

My sword feels weightless.

The boost to my leg strength is incredible, too.

But...

I'll need to work on my power management.

That was amazing, Mister Light!

If we take back part of the slime,

we can exchange it for money at the guild.

I feel kind of bad about cutting it up and taking it back.

But we can buy ten pizzas with this.

Let's get cutting.

Sorry.

What do you want to eat? You can have anything.

A-Anything? Uh, um...

You jerk!

What was that?

Damn it. Why?

Our first battle was supposed to go perfectly.

So what's an ogre doing here?!

We ran into some weird guy at the guild, too.

This sucks.

Gene, this is no time for talk.

We don't stand a chance against it.

It's over.

Hey!

Hey!

Are you okay?

It's him.

A monster?

That's an ogre.

Those aren't normally found around here.

Idiot! I'll lead it right to you!

What?

The ogre has set its sights on you.

Then I'll have to fight it.

In fact, defeating this monster would be the ideal start to my adventuring career!

Be careful!

Sword God doesn't increase your physical defense.

If you don't dodge its attacks...

I could die instantly.

I'm going to become the greatest adventurer ever

and leave my mark on history, right?

In that case...

I should be able to easily clear this trial.

I know how strong my legs are now.

Maximum power.

I've got this in the bag!

I'm gonna do it.

I'll catch up to her.

Sword God Style...

Demon Slash!

Demon Slash

I... I did it!

Mister Light, are you all right?

Yeah.

Fruitmaster and Sword God are both real skills.

That's amazing, Mr. Light.

Wh-Who is that guy?

What? You defeated not only a slime, but an ogre, too?

Yeah. As proof, here's the ogre's horn.

Can I exchange this for money?

We were watching. We can confirm it's true.

This guy saved our lives. Right, Gene?

O-One moment, please.

Anyway, I can't believe a rookie like you defeated an ogre.

You're awesome.

Now I'm an adventurer, too.

Did something happen?

Yeah.

The rank S party is back.

So that's the star of the rank S party Sacred, Lena.

Excuse me. Let me through.

Lena!

Lena.

It's good to see you again.

You've mistaken me for someone else.

What?

What did you see?

The future.

The future?

I've had a revelation.

What?

A tremendous threat that will shake the world has been born.

I finally got to see Lena again, but what's gotten into her?

Maybe you ate her slice of pizza.

Yeah, right!

Set your sights on becoming the greatest adventurer ever!
