[End Of Information]

Rey could feel his jaw dropping as he looked at the panel before him.

‘The hell? So she checked my Status Window and got my name?’

The girl kept staring at him with her doll-like face, her glowing blue eyes begging him to help.

‘She seems to be in an even worse state than Alicia. That means she’s been here for longer.’

Rather than just relying on the little information he had, Rey decided to use the Skill she used on him and see the truth for himself.

‘It’s an S-Tier Skill, so it’s bound to consume some Mana. Still…’

Rey was dying of curiosity.

He had to know!

‘[Absolute Appraisal].’

[Additional Information]

… Help her.

[End Of Information]

‘W-what? Help her…?’

This was the first time Rey had seen the System tell him to do something.

It was usually a passive kind of interface. It didn’t tell him anything about Quests, neither did it interact with him in any meaningful way.

It didn’t even alert him anytime he Leveled Up.

‘But now, it’s… hold on, is this like a Quest?’ Before Rey could follow that train of thought any further, he backtracked and reread the Status Window.

That was when he fully grasped what he read.

‘H-hold on… what the hell are these Stats?!’

They were unbelievable, to say the least.

At just Level 1, and with the Class of a Commoner, this girl had Stats that exceeded his when he was Level 20 or so.

‘Is it because of her Race. A Half-Elf, huh…?’Rey looked at her ears, yet he didn’t notice it peeking up.

‘No pointy ears. How is she a Half-Elf, then?’ He couldn’t deny what he read, though, and it wasn’t like the System would lie about stuff like this.

‘This is also an S-Tier Skill, and it perfectly shows the Status Information of my targets. It shouldn’t have errors…’

Now that he thought of it, the fact that this girl could use such a High-Tier Skill despite her current state showed that she had to be the real deal.

‘She even has Lucielle’s [Grand Magic Mastery] Skill and an even better version of her [Magic Application].

It was all so unreal.

‘This is crazy.’ Rey found himself sighing as he slapped his hand on his face.

‘She knows my identity, she is such a monster, and the System is telling me to help her…’

Rey sighed deeply at this point.

All the factors of the situation told him that he had no choice but to act.

‘And it wouldn’t be fair if I left the last one here…’

Rey wondered if the last kid also had some sort of special ability that made him a monster as well, so he used his [Absolute Appraisal] on him as well.

[Additional Information]

A human genius who, despite his young age, shows a lot of promise. He’s going to be a talented Mage in the future. He is poisoned.

[End Of Information]

‘I see. By regular standards, he’s a genius…’

But for Rey, he didn’t seem all that special at the moment. Lucielle was more of a genius when she was born, and when she was his age, she had far surpassed his current state.

‘And while Lucielle is recognized as the greatest Mage in the entire Alliance, her skills pale in comparison to the Otherworlders she helped summon.’

As such, Rey’s interest in the boy diminished.

Besides, the System didn’t even tell him to save the boy.

‘But… well, I can’t just abandon him now that I’m here.’ It wasn’t like he would be going out of his way to add the kid to the total number of people he was saving.

Once Rey decided on that, he used his [Absolute Wind Magic] to carry both the Half-Elf Girl and the Junior Caster.

Once they were all safely floating in the air, he decided to leave the bleak dark room.

But not after casting [Sleep] on Esme.

“Don’t worry, kid. I’ll save you.”

*********

Rey initially didn’t want to bother going to the right in order to rescue the other slaves.

However, after a rethink, he decided to tweak his plans in order to accommodate them.

‘I guess it’ll sound better that way…’

With that in mind, he went to the other room and found a similar situation.

The door was barely a door, and there was a sickly sweet smell permeating the air.

What he didn’t expect, however, were the number of potential slaves that were placed in the room.

‘They’re close to a hundred, aren’t they?’

Women. Men. Children—the whole bunch of them.

‘How am I supposed to handle such a number…?’ Rey wondered within himself.

He obviously knew the answer to that question already.

‘[Absolute Wind Magic]’

As an S-Tier Skill, the limits of [Absolute Wind Magic] was yet to be seen.

Rey decided to use it partly because he wanted to see for himself just how far he could go.

Unsurprisingly, he was able to carry just about everyone with his Wind.

They all floated above ground, drawing close to him, or to whatever direction he desired.

‘It’s a good thing I learned how to properly use this Skill.’

A Magic Skill was the trickiest to use since it required certain Spells to bring out its full potential and achieve varying results.

The Spell Rey was using was one called ‘Levitate’, and it was activated on all a hundred plus people who were under his influence.

Once he confirmed yet again that he was in control, Rey sighed and turned his attention to the exit.

“Let’s leave this hellhole, shall we?”
