Chapter 9: Gemstone Vector Manipulation! Three Idiots in the Group!
He opened the Group Album. The first thing he saw was March 7th's selfie. She really does love taking photos. The photo was very beautiful. He saved it casually.
He returned to the chat and glanced at his own information. [Points]: 3700. He had killed over three thousand zombies today. It was time to spin the roulette.
He opened the function. On it were various abilities: Sharingan, Fire Magic, Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. There were also various items: Death Note, Anywhere Door.
"I hope I get a high-level ability!" With anticipation, he started the roulette. The pointer passed over various abilities. Mystic Eyes of Death Perception… Dragon Slaying Magic… Under his nervous gaze, it finally stopped.
[Congratulations! You have obtained S-rank ability, Gemstone Vector Manipulation!]
"???" A gold drop! He was excited for only a moment before calming down. He knew about Vector Manipulation from A Certain Magical Index. Accelerator was its most famous user. However, Vector Manipulation was not equal to Accelerator; his power came from his immense calculation ability.
Ren checked the information. [S-rank Gemstone Vector Manipulation]: After fusion, awaken the Gemstone ability, Vector Manipulation, to manipulate vectors.
"Gemstone!!!" His eyes widened. If it was just Vector Manipulation, he might have been disappointed. But if it was a Gemstone, everything was different.
[Inorin's Note: In 'A Certain Magical Index', 'Gemstones' are natural-born espers whose abilities are innate and instinctual, unlike the artificial espers of Academy City who rely on complex mental calculations to use their powers.]
Gemstone abilities could be used instinctively, like a natural reflex. Accelerator needed to calculate to change a vector. A Gemstone only needed a thought: 'I want to change it.'
Ren excitedly took a screenshot. After fusing it, he used 1,000 points to upgrade it to Lv2. Then he sent the screenshot.
[Ren: I just drew my ability. [Image].]
[March 7th: Eh!! Ren, how do you have so many points?! 1000!]
[Ren: Besides signing in, points can be obtained by encountering and reducing doomsday factors. In my world, killing evil spirits earns points. In this game, killing zombies does too.]
[March 7th: I see… But I don't even know what my doomsday is!]
[Exusiai: Does that mean it's Originium for me?]
[Aqua: Hmph, then for me, it must be the Demon Lord!]
[Saeko Busujima: I also don't know about my side.]
[Ren: @Saeko Busujima, it might be zombies on your side, but I can't be sure.]
[Saeko Busujima: Oh? If so, I might need to prepare. Thank you, Ren-kun.]
[March 7th: Emmm, darn it. @Ren, what does your S-rank ability do?]
[Ren: It's as the name implies: I manipulate vectors.]
[March 7th: Manipulate vectors? I don't understand!]
[Exusiai: Hehe, I don't really understand either.]
[Aqua: Emmm, what a strange ability! It's not as good as my divine power!]
[Ren: ...]
[Saeko Busujima: ...]
Damn, there are three idiots in this group now!
