I looked at my status window with a bit of a surprised look.
My stats had increased in such a short time that it seemed unreal.
The increase wasn’t that great, but it was still unreal.
Every stat increase showed that I had grown stronger than my previous self.
My fight with the chibi ninjas and meeting with the [Golden Deer] might be the reason for these changes, but the greatest change that put a smile on my face was something new in my skill window.
<Appraisal>
This was probably one of the most important skills for me if I wanted to survive in this forest.
Not only can I check what type of beast was before me, but I can also see their stats and skills.
Aside from that, I can check most of the plants, flowers, herbs, and poisons that I gathered until now.
These were some of the rarest skills in this world and the skill itself is special.
When used, it would send a certain frequency or energy to the target.
The energy would scan the target and then the skill would display the gathered data in the form of text.
This skill used the human brain as some supercomputer to process all these things and the nervous system of the whole body would safely back the process.
So, even though this skill was related to the eyes, it made the total body work without even the user’s knowledge.
The results would also somewhat depend on the knowledge one possesses.
This was something that worked with the partial help of nature.
This skill was special, so just having this increased your worth by many folds.
A smile appeared on my face and I picked up a blue flower from the table.
I knew nothing about this one, so I didn’t know what the results would be like.
[ “How is that~!” ]
Fern was more excited than me for some unknown reason.
Shaking my head, I used this special skill for the first time.
[Appraisal]
============
[Terndrink]
-A good herb filled with Mana.
-Upon consumption, partially increase Mana.
-The concentration of Mana is not that extreme, so anyone can consume it.
============
“Wow!” I shouted in excitement.
This skill told me the name and partial function of this herb.
It was amazing to just know it was a good herb, but knowing more uses like anyone could consume it was a good thing.
[ “This is great right~! Her skill would be the same as her, amazing…” ]
Fern was excited but, while talking about this individual, her eyes softened quite a bit.
“Yes. This is a wonderful thing. Thank you, Gaar. You too, Fern.” I responded in a soft voice.
Whoever they were talking about must be an amazing person.
With a sigh, I looked at Fern.
‘Appraisal.’
–Screech!
“Ouch!” A sharp voice entered my mind… as I thought.
[ “Hmm…? Eon? Did something happen?” ] Fern asked and tilted her head in confusion.
It was sudden, so others were also looking at me with confused eyes.
“Oh, no. Nothing.”
I knew she wouldn’t know even if I used this skill on her.
The origin beasts like her and stronger beings of (Indigo) rank have special bodies and skills to possibly detect the use of skills like this on them.
Thanks to her special energy body, Fern would unconsciously reflect the foreign energy from others.
After finishing my small experiment, I looked at the actual targets of my curiosity.
The three elders are strong, (Blue) ranked beasts.
I haven’t fought against something like them and I knew I wouldn’t win even if I went up against them.
I wasn’t nearly strong enough to go against a (Green) ranked beast. They were even further away in that line.
Looking at them all at once, I calmed my excited heart.
‘Appraisal.’

“Holy mother of goblins…” An audible gasp escaped my mouth, and I saw all three elder beasts in a new light.
If we say every stat value increased threefolds after crossing a hundred…
I was… fortunate.
If I were to fight something like them, only death would await me.
A silent, painless death.
Their one attack skill would be enough to kill me… obliterate me.
On top of all, we could consider them higher grades in (Blue) rank.
They were strong, so strong that even if I were to use everything on me, they would overwhelm me.
An icy shiver run down my spine as I looked at them with wide eyes.
Thankfully, my heart was normal, so I was able to regain my composure.
[ “Eon, you are my friend. It means that you are friends of all the beasts here.” ] Fern patted my shoulder and smiled.
Everyone present nodded their heads in agreement and Gaar the Orc smiled with his white, long teeth.
‘Appraisal is an eye-opener…’
My knowledge of high-ranking beasts was limited, but now… I was sure I had to train much more to get strong enough to at least run from them.
“Yes, I know.” I was glad to meet Fern in this kind of situation, but if we were to be enemies, I was sure of my sudden death.
“Huuup!”
The hippo man, a humanoid version of a hippo species that mainly lived near rivers, spoke up with a prideful look in his eyes.
Tapping his finely clothed chest, he stepped forward.
I was still surprised that there were groups of beasts here that could make clothing.
This was also almost the same as normal human clothing but, actually a better and more comfortable version.
The elder Ent followed behind the hippo and stood beside him.
They both looked at each other and… glared deep into each other’s eyes.
Both of them talked with their eyes and the other one understood.
This was… kind of romantic?
Like, think how you would talk with your beloved through mere eye contact.
A funny smile painted on my smile and their argument came to an end with both of them turning their enormous heads to the other side.
A chuckle escaped from me, but fortunately, they two didn’t notice it.
[ “Ok, ok~. I know you are happy I’m ok but, but we aren’t competing for who’s gift is best~!” ] Fern said with her bright, cheerful voice.
She had a warm look on her face as if looking at two children fighting to impress mom.
I shook my head and looked forward to what the other (Blue) ranked beasts have prepared as a ‘gift’.
