Me, a priest? How could that be!

Chapter 11 really went around in circles!

The second job change was very quick, and there were no special effects. The job change was completed very simply, without him even noticing.

Charlotte held the adventurer card, and after seeing that the profession column had changed to "High Priest," she sighed, "Indeed, the essence of humanity is that things are just too good to pass up."

"Why am I suddenly feeling sentimental?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I felt I could have just boiled water and cooked instant noodles to fill my stomach, but I overestimated myself and tried to cook. However, I found that my cooking skills were even more appalling. After leaving the kitchen in a mess, I could only choose to eat instant noodles with tears in my eyes. It really... really... took a huge detour."

"Hey buddy, I suddenly realized that your analogy is surprisingly cringeworthy, and that there's a difference in importance between a profession and cooking."

Chris rolled her eyes dramatically.

No, in Charlotte's mind there was no difference between the two, and the latter was even more important than the former. After all, a profession is ultimately about making a living, isn't it?

"……Um?"

Just then, Charlotte noticed something amiss with the adventurer card and asked, "Why do I have 50 starting job points? Is there something wrong with the card, or is it a bug?"

"It's not a game, how could there be bugs... cough cough, it's nothing."

Chris instinctively made a sarcastic remark, but she quickly brushed it off, saying, "Initial skill points represent how well a person is suited to a particular class. The more suitable someone is for a class, the more initial skill points they will have. That's common knowledge."

For example, Aqua.

After becoming a High Priestess, she not only mastered all the priest skills but also had extra skill points to learn artistic skills like those related to flowers, birds, wind, and moon. Only then did people realize that she was a true goddess.

"So when I changed to a Novice, I only had 1 initial skill point, which means..."

"You are not suited to be the one who started out."

"Hmm!"

Even the Beginner class, which everyone can become, isn't suitable. I never expected to be so bad. But just like the lady at the counter said, I am indeed a Priestess with a divine body.

Chris glanced at the sky and said, "Alright, that's enough for today."

"Is that all?"

Charlotte was still somewhat unsatisfied.

He wasn't sure if it was because the other person had saved him twice, but he was actually a little reluctant to part ways.

"It's getting late, and I still have a lot of work to finish. I should have gone home a long time ago, but someone is holding onto my legs and won't let go, which has slowed me down." The silver-haired thief girl stared at him.

"……sorry."

Charlotte promptly apologized.

"Haha, just kidding." Chris's feigned resentment vanished instantly. She then pointed her index finger downwards at the table and said, "Meeting here tomorrow morning, is that alright?"

"Sure, is there anything else?"

"You've just become a High Priest, right? You need someone to teach you skills, right? I happen to know a very kind High Priest. I'll take you to ask him for help tomorrow."

"How could this be...!?"

I thought the aid would end there, but I never expected Chris would go to such lengths.

She really made me cry my eyes out!

After Charlotte thanked her repeatedly and arranged a time and place to meet, Chris left in a hurry. She seemed to have a lot of work to finish and looked quite anxious.

As expected of a truly dedicated goddess.

I really hope that some idiotic goddess can learn from her and stop causing trouble for others.

After drinking two glasses of ice-cold sparkling wine, Charlotte returned to the dilapidated stable he had rented the night before. The same room, the same price, and the same two lumps of dried horse manure to lull him to sleep.

Silent all night.

Charlotte got up around eight o'clock in the morning.

He should have been rushing off to hunt down the giant toad, but he had made a promise to Chris to learn skills, so he put his adventure on hold.

With plenty of time to spare before the agreed time, Charlotte started jogging around Axel.

He decided to make this a habit.

Only after arriving in this world did he suddenly realize that sometimes being fast can solve many problems. If he weren't truly unsuitable for his original aspirations, the first skill he would probably learn would be "stealth".

Then he did 100 push-ups, 100 squats, and 100 sit-ups! He also ran 10 kilometers! — Saitama's training methods won't unlock Charlotte's limiter, but they can make him stronger.

Chris had said that self-training would also increase attribute values, and Charlotte wholeheartedly agreed. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain how Darkness, with a physical constitution of level 5 or 6, could withstand Megumin's Explosion Magic without dying.

Of course, these only increase strength, not intelligence, which is a bit of a shame.

After physical training, I started boxing.

This is one of the elective physical education courses in university.

As we all know, top universities focus on research and development, first-class universities focus on academics, second-class universities focus on education, and third-class universities focus on discipline... and boxing, or sports in general, is a manifestation of discipline.

Tai Chi, Five Animal Frolics, and Eight Pieces of Brocade.

Charlotte gestured them somewhat awkwardly. Although she had to study them in the second semester of her freshman year for the sake of credits, the exam-oriented education that had taken root in her mind still had its merits.

The boy's slow, leisurely movements outside the stable amused many passing adventurers, but after watching for a while, they couldn't figure out what he was doing and assumed he was just playing around. They patted their heads and turned away leisurely.

None of them recognized its value.

He secretly thought the people from another world were ignorant and unsophisticated, but deep down he was hoping someone would figure out the trick and come to him to become his apprentice...

I'd really like to see people from another world line up in a square formation and practice Tai Chi, one move at a time.

It's almost time.

Charlotte arrived at the Adventurers' Guild a little early, ordered a glass of sparkling wine, and listlessly lay on the table.

The guild was rather quiet in the morning, with only a few adventurers sitting in various places, and the waitresses chatting in twos and threes, enjoying a rare moment of peace.

The adventurers had probably set off early to do their missions, and only a few, like Charlotte, hadn't gone to work. However, everyone in the venue, including Charlotte, had a glass of sparkling wine in front of them.

I always feel...

It's no different from sitting idly in a coffee shop.

When she's lost in thought, she doesn't notice the passage of time until her date arrives in a hurry, bringing her back to her senses.

Chris asked with slight surprise, "You're here so early! When did you arrive?"

"I haven't been here long. How about a glass of sparkling wine? It's on me." With that, Charlotte raised her right hand, gesturing to the waitress not far away to take her order.

"Wait, wait," Chris quickly pressed down on his arm and said, "Although I'd also like to have a drink to relax, never mind, business comes first."

I can tell.

She cared a lot about Charlotte's affairs.

The two left the Adventurers' Guild and, led by Chris, arrived at a very familiar place. Yes, it was the very place where they had received their relief meals before.

"The Church of Eris?"

"Of course. When you talk about priests, you think of churches, and when you talk about churches in Axel, you only think of the Church of Eris, right? Don't worry, didn't I tell you, the people here are very nice."

"...Lady Chris?"

It was probably the sound of their conversation outside the door that caught the attention of the people inside the church. When the church door opened, they saw someone very familiar: the old priest who had helped them twice before.

Even Charlotte couldn't help but sigh again.

"Really...really...it went through such a long and roundabout way."
