Sekai Saikyou no Assassin, Isekai Kizoku ni Tensei Suru - Vol. 1 Ch. 1.2

@gaigous
Reread the chapter, the mind control power require you to have more mana and overcoming whatever resistance the target has against mind control.
You don't know what kind of stats the hero has, he could have 1 million in mana against your 100 mana and fully immune to mind control since he's the Hero.

@nfzeta
The Hero may be overpowered, he still need to sleep, eat or go to the toilet.
That's what the Hyper Regen skill is for: even if the Hero know someone is after his life, he can't be on guard 100% of the time.

I'm sure there could probably be better skills out there if we tried hard enough to think, but Hyper Regen seems like a solid choice to me?

It reduces the amount of rest he needs both between training and out in the field, which aids in training efficiency and being generally prepared for most circumstances. On top of improving his effective health and mana in battle.


Being able to just train your ass off continuously and essentially power level yourself for years on end while not having to be concerned as much about injury and loss of stamina is a boring but practical boon to have, and he can probably also use powerful magic more often too. MC seems to be essentially increasing his general ability to train and fight overall while banking on custom spells as his trump card, as he does not know what to expect from the Hero other than the fact that they are broken af.


Also I'm not sure the mind control thing goes off of current MP or not...

S rank skill: Hyper Regeneration
A rank skill: Chant Weaving (Can create brand new sorcery)
B rank skill: Unbound Growth Limit (No stats limitation), this skill is automatically chosen after receiving Hyper regeneration.
C rank skill: Unarmed combat
D rank skill: ???

With "Hyper Regeneration" and "Unbound Growth Limit", MC can do hellish training(minimum eat and sleep). with a superhuman body, MC can do hit and run attack non-stop. Trying every possible way to kill.
MC can create a gun like in the cover with "Chant Weaving".
"Unarmed combat", Good for training and self-defense, this skill also useful if MC wants to disguise when infiltrating enemy location to get some information.
D rank skill is unconfirmed, I guess this is some kind of badass plot.

So much buildup and preparation. I wonder how this is going to turn out moving forward. I hope the calculating personality doesn't dissolve away into typical Isekai MC shit later down the line.

@aFFi

just read a little bit of the web novel and I found something that might explain the "hand-to-hand" choice. It might be a translation error. The WN translator calls it "body art" which matches the description of it better. It's basically an all-rounder weapon skill. He would have gotten a better effect from something like swordmanship but this one makes him better at using all weapons, including unusual or improvised ones.

 

[Operatix]

Can't wait for the school arc to begin. Sarcasm.

@Meridis
Well... That actually makes a lot of sense. Now that is a useful skill for an assassin.

@Shiroi_Kage
Well, I certainly hope this doesn't go the usual Isekai route where the MC completely ditches his original objective and just goes on an "adventure".
Seeing a once prolific modern assassin in a fantasy and magical world would be awesome.
In short, I hope he kills... a lot.

 

[Pokoj11]

So short :/

 

[Doenyon]

Not quite sure how he plans on using his knowledge from a modern, magicless world, to think of spells to weave with his ability though... But well, we'll see.

 

[Wolvenworks]

Seriously tho regen is underrated in most RPGs.

 

[bladestorm91]

Hyper Regeneration is the greatest and most OP foundational skill you could have, the only other skill that comes close to it is a Skill Steal/Copy/Devour skill.
Any super powerful characters that border on being demi-gods have regeneration, when you reach a certain level of power the skill becomes practically a requirement to go any further.

In fact I'm surprised it's such an underused plot point in these types of stories, you would think instead of trying to get more general power villains and heros alike would rather desire becoming unkillable by the fact that you could regenerate from a single drop of blood. That's a far more scarier prospect as opposed to just a big lump of power which dies if you just hit it the right way enough times.

 

[gaigous]

@Blabladodo It's a cursed slave seal applied on touch, not a simple mind control spell. Yes, that's the point, this entire discussion is a hypothetical based on the info we have.

 

[Merilirem]

The only better choice for skills would have been Rollout.

 

[Blabladodo]

@gaigous
All of my points still stand, MC doesn't know anything of the Hero except that he's OP and fated to kill the Demon Lord, it is only natural to assume he may have some immunities against various spells and curses.
MC is a pro, he's not going to gamble on whether the skill will work or not and in fact he didn't.

 

[gaigous]

@Blabladodo They do, I haven't denied them. Immunities? I think you mean potential resistances, the author will decide how "immune" the hero is.

His entire mission is a gamble, reality doesn't care if you have a 1% or a 5% chance of success, if you fail, you fail.

 

[Kegaten]

Goddess is too hot for me whew 😥

 

[nfzeta]

@Invader_Retro Because being versatile doesn't help him kill the hero, in fact it gimps him versus the hero.

@Blabladodo You don't need hyper regen for that, stakeouts exist, even in RL. Then you have the fact that its in a magic world, I'm sure there are some potions or magic for that, especially given his chant weaving. Therefore it still seems like a waste vs the hero.

 

[nfzeta]

@natchu96
Any high level skill to surpass defences would work, he is an assassin after all. To go with that maybe some advanced form of stealth like void walking.

The whole thing was originally made under the premise that he can't catch up to the hero by normal means so being able to train hard shouldn't really help him that much versus someone whose stats should always be far ahead of him.

@Meridis That's better but its still more a versatility/all-rounder skill versus the most broken all-rounder there is, the hero. What does it matter that he can use all weapons if only the strongest ones could even scratch the hero. Nothing but chant weaving has the actual possibility of being especially useful to an assassin. That's the only versatility I can see helping because then he can use it to build spells that work around whatever the hero has. That said magic resistance should be a thing and as a A-class - not S-Class - skill I don't see how or why it should be able to surpass the broken Hero's resistances. If it was then it really should be S-Class, because that means that chant weaving could create ANYTHING.

I would like to read the story about this Goddess instead. She have awesome personality and great tits.
