Chapter 274: Question

My, Kashima Kobato’s inherent skill————- .

(T/N: Admin Tower / Disclose)

This inherent skill is currently based on a certain characteristic.

It’s the Hero’s Status.

One’s status information can be disclosed through “Status Open”.

Their information would then be displayed in the status window.

However, this disclosed status window can only be seen by its owner.

There are two exceptions to this though.

The Goddess can view all Heroes’ status windows.

However, if they haven’t displayed their status window, the Goddess wouldn’t be able to view it either.

The other exception to this are those who had been given “inspection permission”.

Those who have been granted permission can view the information in the Heroes’ status window.

This permission isn’t permanent though, and will disappear after a certain amount of time.

These two are the means by which someone other than the person themselves can check the status of other Heroes.

In other words, as long as the person themselves doesn’t verbally disclose their information to others, only the person themselves can basically know about their status.

This characteristic of the status board troubled Asagi-san and the others.

One of Ikusaba Asagi’s inherent skills, .

(T/N: Group Enhancement / Queen Bee)

This is an ability enhancement skill.

It’s a skill that additively increases each status ability.

Incidentally, other Heroes also have normal Reinforcement skills.

However, Asagi-san’s ability enhancement skill——— her buffs towers above the rest.

When bestowed with her , the Heroes of her group will become much stronger.

It allows her friends to be stronger than their original status suggests.

But of course, that strengthening was only while the buff’s effect lasts.

The Asaagi group doesn’t have any Heroes of A-Rank or higher.

If the effect wears off, their status would suddenly return back to “average”.

Currently, Asagi-san is able to stack her buffs on top of another.

This made her buffs even stronger.

However, one thing that’s still troubling Asagi-san……

—–is that the duration of her buff differs depending on the target.

This was one of the properties of her skill.

In other words, it was difficult for her to determine when to reapply her buffs.

Indeed, her buffs can be stacked.

However, they can’t be reapplied until all buffs’ effects have worn off.

She would have to wait for all buffs’ effects to wear off before she can apply her next buff.

This was the problem.

The Asagi group had many members.

Everyone would have to report whether their buffs had worn off or not.

Because of the status window’s characteristics, Asagi-san couldn’t see what’s written on other Heroes’ status windows.

Those whose buffs had expired had to check their own status windows and report it.

This self-reporting was truly troublesome.

At any rate, this means that everyone’s mind would always be preoccupied with the need to report about this.

However, this couldn’t be helped either.

As soon as the buff wears off, the probability that they would die increases.

Thus, this naturally slows down their movements in battle.

Everyone must always prioritize their self-preservation.

Then, there’s the worst situation——-

——-where they continue to fight without realizing that their buffs have expired.

There had been cases where we were so concentrated in the enemy before us that we didn’t even notice that the buffs had worn off.

She barely avoided a severe blow, but a girl was still wounded because of this.

But now———

This is where the topic returns to my .

It was when Asagi-san was struggling to grasp the buff information when my inherent skill blossomed.

My inherent skill allows me “to keep track of the status information of other Heroes”.

When I use my skill, a transparent window would appear above the Hero’s head.

This window can only be seen by me.

This window can also be enlarged to make it easier for me to see.

In other words———

I am able to grasp all the status information of other Heroes.

My inherent skill meshes beautifully with Asagi-san’s buffs.

First of all, the need for self-reporting was almost eliminated.

If someone’s buff was about to expire or had expired, I could report it to Asagi-san myself.

I will devote all my attention to grasping and reporting the information about the other Heroes.

Meanwhile, those who are about to lose their buffs can fight without worrying about losing them.

This is because all buff-related matters can now be left to me and Asagi-san.

Therefore, everyone can only concentrate on the act of fighting.

As for Asagi-san, all she has to do is follow my reports and apply her buffs.

She herself had said that her thoughts
