When I was a kid, I was called a child prodigy because I knew everything, and the adults loved it.
　But I made a point of pretending I didn't know it all along the way.
　Actually, you don't know and you're not pretending.
　Because it wasn't my knowledge, it was a skill.



　──────────────────── ...

　"Wisdom" skill
　Arbitrary information is available to you as knowledge. However, confidential information is not allowed.

　──────────────────── ...



　There are two ways to get a skill.

　One is to be born with a skill, as I was.
　The other way is through birthright acquisition.

　In the first case, it's often a good skill, but very few are born with it.
　And in the latter, the better the skill, the stricter the conditions are for obtaining it.

　This information was also obtained through wisdom.

　What is the one thing we can't get?

　This hidden information is the information that is locked up and kept from the outside world.
　It is important that you do not want anyone to know about it.

　For example, I can find out what classes are being taken at a private school in town.
　Because there is no will to hide the content of the class.

　I explained above, but I don't know everything about the "wisdom".
　I have only listed the facts that I know from experience and the explanation of the "wisdom" by "wisdom".

　...... and this is a bit off topic, but don't you think that with this skill 《wisdom》 you can make the most of your talent for effort?　I thought to myself.




　Well, that was in the back of my mind as Anna and I returned home from the temple.




　My family is a baker.

　Since my mother's talent was as a baker, the shop had a reputation for being extremely delicious, and even now there were many customers there.
　As she makes not only breads but also cakes and other sweets, her childhood friend Anna has become a prisoner of sweetness.

　I often help her at the shop, so I asked her to make something sweet for me, just like today. And then Anna asks me to do something for her.

　The shop is still open, so Anna and I will enter the house through the back door.


"Sorry to disturb you.

What do you want to eat?

"I'm feeling pancakes today!

Dinner after?　If you eat pancakes, you're not going to be able to eat your dinner, are you?

I'll be fine, I'm hungry!

　Guffawing, Anna gave a thumbs-up.
　She gave a big smile.

"That's not even a good reason. ....... Okay. I'll make you something to eat.

　Anna eats a lot, so if you're hungry, you should be okay.

Okay.

　Anna said, sitting in her chair, knife and fork in her hand as she waited.
　There are two kitchens in the house, one well stocked with shop equipment.
　The other one is just like any other kitchen in any home.
　I'll use that one now.

　Take the ingredients out of the refrigerated mages and, with an expert hand, put them in a bowl and stir well.
　Put oil in a frying pan and bake the dough.
　When the center of the dough is puffy, brush the surface with butter and sprinkle with maple syrup.

　Serve on a plate with red berries and white berries as a topping.


Wow, this looks so good!　I'll take it.

Eat, then go home and tell your parents about your talent.

Yeah, I know. ...... Oh, this is so good.


　Anna eating pancakes with a smile on her face.
　I sat in my chair and watched her with my cane on the desk.


　Satisfied with the pancakes, she went home.


　Anna's house is near the dojo that her father runs.
　Dad will be home soon, so maybe you'll run into him.

Well, now that I'm on my own, let's see what kind of talent [Effort] is.

　Use the skill 《Wisdom》 to get information about [Effort].



　──────────────────── ...

　◯ Talent [Effort]
　You will be able to endure any effort. But unlike other talents, growth is uncorrected and effort is not rewarded. And since this talent is rarely given to anyone, its existence is completely unknown.

　──────────────────── .



　They say that hard work doesn't pay off: .......
　His abilities seem to be humble and weak, but the only thing that seems to be rare is that he's insanely rare .
　However, I think this information itself is also quite rare .
　The beauty of Wisdom is that it allows you to obtain this kind of information.
　It may not be easy to use in some areas, but it's definitely a skill that's too versatile.


However, this ability is a good match for Wisdom.


　I've thought about it a lot, but if I'm going to use my talent [effort] effectively, I'm going to have to make an efficient effort.
　And that makes it tougher.

　Because I wasn't given the talent for combat, I need to become stronger in many ways.

　Isn't your effort rewarded?

　...... How can you say that when so few people were given this talent in the first place .

　I think our ancestors just assumed that this talent was bad and gave up the chance to become something.

　And besides, if it's not rewarded, I'll just work until it is.
