Hero Without a Class: Who Even Needs Skills?! (無職の英雄 別にスキルなんか要らなかったんだが)

Cheers!

Nothing like a celebratory drink after a win!

I can't believe you're old enough to drink.

We've just got to settle for juice, huh?

Yeah.

Arel, marry me!

No, thanks.

Aww, don't be shy!

I'm not being shy.

Oh, come on!

I'm an older woman ready to satisfy all your youthful desires.

I'd prefer to get married with someone more like Reiner.

Argh!

Y-y-you jerk!

At least come up with a better lie than that to turn her down!

Why do you think I'm lying?

B-because people have always said I'm like a man

because all I do is swing swords around.

Yeah. I made the same mistake.

Right?

I have no womanly charms about me.

I don't agree with that.

In any case, I'm aiming to become the strongest Swordsman.

I don't have time to worry about being feminine!

She doesn't even know how to use the biggest weapon in her arsenal!

She's no threat to me!

Arel, you must be tired.

I'll help you relax back in your room with a nice rub down...

That's indecent!

Huh? I'm only talking about a massage.

Great. I'd like to get one from Reiner.

You're joking!

Hero Without a Class: Who Even Needs Skills?!

Underground Dungeon

Jeez.

This is less of a massage and more like torture, isn't it?

Being physically pushed to the brink of death

is the only way for me to master the Guts skill.

I can't pull it off without the help of a friend who's both capable and trustworthy.

I'm flattered you find me trustworthy, but...

She's too much of a meathead!

Good grief. Keep it down, wouldja?

Dad!

What's all the ruckus for?

Are you training out of frustration because you got thrashed this afternoon?

No way! We won our match against Black Blade!

Oh?

They must've sent their newbies against you.

Nope! All our opponents were A-rank!

That can't be right...

Uh... Well, Arel beat them all himself, though.

Is this kid really that strong?

And we made plenty of money to cover our operating costs thanks to the bets I made!

Our guild is back on the up and up with Arel here!

You're way too optimistic about this.

Someone that strong will get poached by a better guild in no time,

then we're screwed again.

No need to worry about that!

Because Arel and I are going to get married.

I made no such promise.

Aww. You're supposed to play along!

Just give up already.

This is utterly pointless. All of it!

Lilia may be an idiot,

but she's far better than losers who just give up and do nothing.

What?

When are you going to stop moping around and act your age?

You can still wield a sword with one arm, can't you?

What the hell do you know?!

A Dual Swordsman who can't wield two swords

is left with nothing but a bunch of unusable skills!

You're right, I don't know.

After all, I'm classless and don't have a single skill of my own.

He's incredibly strong despite whatever skills he's lost.

It's such a waste.

Thank you.

I think your words may have gotten through to him a bit.

And hopefully that encourages him to do something.

Rod is an amazing person.

He just needs to rediscover his passion, and he'll get back in action.

Yeah. I want him to show me some skills.

I'm sure I can learn a lot from a Dual Swordsman even if he's not in peak form.

Well, since there are so many skills you want to learn,

how about trying out a dungeon?

What's that?

Huh, you don't know about those?

There's an enormous dungeon underneath this city.

It's a place chock-full o' traps!

Whoa!

And swarming with monsters!

I'd love to go!

Me too.

I need to get actual battle experience in preparation for the Sword God Cup!

The Sword God Cup?

You really don't know anything, do you?

Like the name implies, it's a tournament that determines the most supreme Swordsman.

The biggest battle in the City of Swords.

I'm assuming you want to participate, right?

Then just sign your name on this entry sheet.

Whaaaa?!

Uh, didn't you want to participate?

That was a marriage certificate.

Oh...

Just a little joke... Tee hee!

No more! You're gonna crack my skull!

I'm sorry!

Do you know where they're headed?

Yes.

It seems they're going to the dungeon tomorrow.

How convenient.

They'll have nobody to blame but themselves

if they encounter a little "accident" in the dungeon.

All ready to charm him!

Once Arel sees me like this,

he won't be able to stop himself from getting all sorts of touchy-feely!

Here we go. Time for the wake-up kiss!

What are you doing?

I don't mind getting down and dirty first thing in the morning.

Come on, hubby.

Gaaah! Leggo leggo!

You're squashing my face! This is too much!

How could you do something so mean to a beautiful maiden like me?!

More like sexual predator.

Rude!

Come on, how is this not working on a young and eager guy like you?

A hot babe is practically throwing herself at your feet, dammit!

Eh? What?

What are you doing, Arel?!

Getting kinky?

So, THIS is what you're into?!

Reiner, do you have a minute?

Yeah, what is it?

Can you come collect the wild beast that's in my room right now?

Reiner? Are you still asleep?

Whatcha want, Papa?

Papa?

Guess what?

I'm finally a Power Bladesman, just like you.

Tell me I did good!

I love you, Papa!

She acts like a little baby around her dad, huh?

Guess Reiner is a daddy's girl.

Arel!

Come back here, please!

Help me!

Shut up!

Uh... Why the hell are you dressed like that?!

Waaah! Dad, you pervert!

Don't look at me!

Y-you stupid girl!

Ah! That's the underground dungeon!

I thought it would be more like a cave.

At any rate, there are tons of people here.

That's because the Sword God Cup is getting close.

They have the same goal as we do.

Thanks to that teleportation seal,

people are free to travel to any floor they want.

Wow, that's convenient.

However!

They can only go to levels they've already been to!

Like, I can go down to the 12th level.

I can go to the 14th.

Then if I go with Reiner, can I also start on the 14th level?

No can do!

This magic will only let you go where you yourself have physically been before.

That's a shame.

I'd really like to fight something strong right away.

It's okay!

I'll guide you along the shortest route!

We'll go straight to the lower levels!

Thanks.

Which means, Reiner...

I'll be with Arel, so you can go off on your own.

Huh? But I'm going wi-

There's no need for two guides.

Unless you have a problem with me being his guide?

No, no problems here...

Well! Let's head out, Arel!

We can find a nice private spot to pick up where we left off this morning...

I want Reiner to come with us.

Okay! Sure!

Those are Living Armor monsters.

Already offering us a challenge, huh?

It's fast despite all that heavy armor.

But...

None of these skills are out of the ordinary.

It's still moving even though I cut its head off?!

They're empty suits of armor that move with the magic power of the dungeon.

They can't feel pain nor have any weakness!

In that case, the best way to stop them...

aim for the legs!

That's creepy.

Are you done too?

Oh, they stopped moving.

They'll start regenerating eventually.

And attack us again after they recover.

So, we can fight them over and over?

Perfect for sword training.

Ahh... that was a tough fight, huh!

Lilia, you didn't do anything.
