Chapter 5
Damn it! What is with that sharpness! That's impossible even with a Japanese sword! ?? Heavenly Voice! What is that skill! ??
===============
-Partial Body Strengthening (sharp)-
A skill that transforms a part of one's body into a sharp knife. MP consumption is high if it is sustained.
===============
That skill is a foul against the habits of such a small fish! I only have [Big Eater] and [Luminous] here and they- … That's right! There's [Luminous]!
They must be looking at me now. Then it would be dazzling! [Luminous]!
I received the sunlight on my body and reflected it towards the Maletanagos.
Before, this light emission would cause damage to me, but now I can block the effect with [Dazzle Resistance].
It flashed with strong light for a moment, but the light soon converged.
This time I can see the front properly.
Looking at the maletanago, it seemed that the effect of the light emission was apparent, and I was wandering around. I can't see their front line.
In this gap, I charged back at them and ate three maletanagos with a [Big Eater].
The nearby Maretanago didn't seem to know what's going on and tried to escape from the place, but at a slower rate.
[You have gained experience points. LV is now 11.]
Take that, FISH! Fufufu … Maletanago, weren't they too impatient? The inside of this fish here is human! You can't lose to fish in a brain battle! Well, I was helped by my skill tho …
I rush towards a Maletanago, whose eyesight hasn't recovered yet, and eat it with a [Big Eater]. This time there are two remaining.
I was quite far away from the rest of the maletanago while I was eating, but the result is kinda fair to me.
[You have gained experience points. LV has reached MAX]
I'd like to prey on the rest of the Male tanago, but … the LV won't go up and it's okay this time. Alright! Disperse!
I decided to hide at a distance while the effect of light emission was working.
Even if I prey on them any more, I will not get any experience points, so I should avoid unnecessary killing.
◆
I managed to find a place to settle down. This time in the grass. It's grass or maybe a kind of aquatic plant.
It was a surprisingly light battle … I wasn't hit by that tail fin because of my skill. It was really helpful.
I haven't recovered my physical strength yet. Even if it evolves or the LV goes up, it seems that HP and MP do not fully recover like games … I need to be careful.
What is my current status?
===============
Race: Bluefish (Guppy)
LV: 12/12
HP: 25/31
MP: 25/42
Attack power: 24
Defense: 35
Magical power: 15
Agility: 35
===============
It's not growing that much … Well, it may be a good one for a guppy. Well, so what? It's a step up from now on!
Heavenly voice! Please tell me the evolution path!
[Will you evolve? ]
Yup.
[Choose an evolution path]
===============
―Evolution path―
>Blue fish (small adult)<
>Blue fish (adult size)<
===============
We are planning to evolve slowly and accumulate more and more power, so please evolve to blue fish (small adult).
When I chose the evolution path, I felt that my body had grown again.
The scales become thick and a little difficult to move.
I felt that the fins changed from round to elongated, and the tail fins became a little harder.
Alright, the voice of heaven. First, tell me about blue fish.
===============
-Blue fish (small adult)-
A few individuals that have grown from larvae to adults. The scales become thicker and the body becomes slightly stiff, but as it grows larger, the reduced body turns.
The body is stiff, and it will not be afraid with a slight attack.
It is a high-class ingredient and is often served by the royal family, but it is no longer served in cooking after being designated as an endangered species.
===============
That's good. I didn't become a national treasure-class high-class food. Well, I don't really like the sound of it.
Isn't it because of my human mind it is designated as an endangered species?
Is there a royal family? I'm grateful that human information can be read from such a place …. I'll definitely meet you
someday!
Alright, then show me my status!

===============
After all that I'm back to LV1 … Various things have fallen.
The defense power has remained high, but the agility has dropped a lot … I think the agility has dropped because the scales had become thicker.
Holy crab! ?? There is [Partial Body Strengthening (sharp)]! Will this cut the rocks too …! ?? I did it! With this, I can fight even if some strong guys come out!
Well … I've never met a guy bigger than me … But they may come out someday, so I have to polish my fins!
I have no choice but to try it out! [Partial Body Strengthening (sharp)].
There was a feeling that the tail fin became stiff when activated. I tried hitting the tail fin against a nearby rock. Then click! It made a noise and left only a small scratch on the rock.
Just that …? Those maretanago were able to cut it! Why?
I thought it might be that I didn't have enough LV, but from the way I got experience points, Maletanago should have been the same LV as me.
Even though we have the same skill, we have completely different effects when used … Isn't it a scam?
I tried using it twice more, but the power was almost the same, and it ended up just scratching the rock.
As I stopped using my skill, I noticed that my body became a bit sluggish.
The heck? Oh, maybe …

===============
MP consumption is intense! ?? I wonder if it uses about 6MP to use it once … I can't abuse it as it is now
Maybe I need a little more MP to maintain it.
[You got experience points. LV is now 2]
Ah. plankton.
