The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System (追放された転生重騎士はゲーム知識で無双する)

Hey, you. Wanna team up with a dependable front liner?

Are you sure you're strong?

Fang of Smoldering Insanity

Skillbook

A Fang of Smoldering Insanity skillbook.

Skillbooks are items required to unlock skill trees.

They're rare, so I won't find one right away,

but looking for one is free.

Remaining skill points: 5

Oath of the Heavy Armor

Defense Booster

Beginner Swordsmanship

Oath of the Heavy Armor and Fang of Smoldering Insanity.

These two skill trees work together to complete the Heavy Knight.

The completed Heavy Knight is no longer a defense specialist.

Even calling it an offensive specialist isn't right either.

It's a human weapon.

Fang of Smoldering Insanity is essential to unlocking the Heavy Knight's potential.

Fang of Smoldering Insanity

Whoa, she's cute... but out of my league.

Don't waste it.

I know. Thanks, Dad.

A Fang of Smoldering Insanity skillbook is a key item for the Heavy Knight.

It'd be great if I could find one in this city.

Excuse me.

Could I get three healing potions?

Sure thing. That'll be 72,000 gold.

That's a lot more expensive than in the game.

That said, there's no way around it.

Fine.

By the way, I have a question.

Where can I buy skillbooks?

Oh...

I couldn't find any at any shops.

A Heavy Knight is stuck in tutorial mode until

they find a Fang of Smoldering Insanity skillbook.

Yah!

Croak

Yah!

Skree

Yes!

I have to get my hands on one.

You don't know anything, do you?

Huh?

Are you a first-year adventurer who just got his class?

Y-Yeah.

Buying and selling skillbooks is prohibited.

What?

People are permitted to use skillbooks they acquire,

but otherwise, the Adventurer's Guild gives them to nobles and the church.

Y-You're kidding, right?!

Skillbooks are an unbelievably rare drop.

It's assumed you'll have to buy them.

You can't expect to find the one you want.

I did feel that nobles were more powerful than they were in the game, but...

I can't believe this is happening.

It's likely that my family, the Edvaughns,

have all the skillbooks collected in Rondalm.

Oh, fine.

I'm not supposed to tell you this, but I'll make an exception.

You know, since you bought the healing potions.

Here. Go to this place.

What's this?

A shop that deals in scavenged goods.

Scavengers. Are those people who loot dead adventurers?

Aren't those items supposed to be reported to the Adventurer's Guild?

They have an unspoken agreement.

The guild knows about these underground shops and leaves them be.

Some adventurers can't survive without scavenging.

Besides, even if they followed standard procedure,

most items would end up in the hands of nobles instead of their surviving family.

Nobles buy up skillbooks for cheap and hoard them instead of using them.

They don't know how hard it is to be an adventurer.

I was utterly naive.

If my memories of my past life hadn't returned,

and I'd become a Master Swordsman...

Don't tell the mucky-mucks about this shop.

Of course.

I'd rather die than tell anyone I'm a noble's son.

We're partners now!

Do they really have skillbooks here?

They do. Five, even.

That's some dinky armor.

This Hall of Broken Grimoires isn't for newbies like you.

I have gold. Could I see your Skillbooks?

You're welcome to look.

Your filthy fingerprints won't make them any less valuable.

Thanks.

Beginner Archery Skillbook.

Market price: two million gold.

Beginner Archery Market Price: 2,000,000G

Two million gold?!

That's 500,000 gold more expensive than the game!

In the game, the market price was based on trades made between players.

This price is probably based on actual trade prices, too.

The price of skillbooks must be inflated due to nobles hoarding them.

Just so you know, I'd charge three million gold for that.

Th-Three million?!

Of course. This is a risky business I'm running.

The officials look the other way,

but if their superiors find out, I could lose my head.

Basic beginner skillbooks are this expensive...

Even if I sell the Daemonsrage Shield, I'll only have three million gold.

Current Funds: Approx. 900,000G

I doubt that's enough to buy a rare skillbook.

Beginner Archery, Magic Booster, Jack-in-the-Box, and Elemental Guard.

They're pretty rare, but they're not what I'm looking for.

What's this last one?

This is it!

The skill tree essential to Heavy Knight, Fang of Smoldering Insanity!

Once I have this, I'm golden!

What's this? You look awfully happy.

You must be an oddball if you want that.

Ma'am, this book...

I'd charge fifty million gold for that.

Fifty...

I'm amazed you keep such expensive merchandise out without any guards.

If you think I'm weak, try me.

I threw five guys out on their asses the other day.

Could you hold onto this skillbook for me?

I promise I'll come back with fifty million gold.

What's in it for me?

What? Well, uh...

I don't dislike kids like you.

Huh?

Sure. I'll hold onto it.

Really?

Sure.

For an extra five million gold.

She drives a hard bargain.

I'll be finding ways to make money for a while.

How'd it go with them?

I'd like to team up again.

I put my own spin on it.

That is so cute.

Fifty-five million gold, huh?

That's sixty times what I made from that raid quest.

High-level adventurers and the shops they deal with

have a busted perspective of wealth.

Fang of Smoldering Insanity is a rare skill tree,

but the only ones who want it are

Heavy Knights and combat junkies with a death wish.

More obviously powerful skillbooks must be absurdly expensive.

I have to come up with practical ways to make money.

I could try to get rich quick by farming rare drops in dungeons.

All right!
