Changes.

The world of Aincrad was ongoing rapid changes, and unfortunately for the newly summoned heroes, they were thrown directly into the storm

The Demons on the other continent had started to move, launching small attacks on the borders

Thankfully, the empires and countries of various races had already informed their citizens of the successful hero summoning 

Thus raising the overall morale.

However given the current situation, rather than resting and getting used to their new surroundings

Under the orders of the king and the pope, the heroes including trash Kazuma were immediately thrown into serious training

Thankfully, thanks to their various blessings from different Gods of Aincrad, their learning speed could be said to be almost unbelievable

So much so that whenever the pope looked toward the heroes, drool almost dropped from his lips as an unending flame of greed seemed to burn in his chest 

However what the pope didn't know was that although only a few days after their summoning, but a lot of heroes had already begun having different ideas

Starting from Tomoki who wanted to become a God, or Kazuma thought he was the main character of the show

All in all, it almost seemed like the matter of defeating the demon king had been almost thrown completely to the back of their minds

Fortunately, among all the newly summoned heroes, someone was focused on their current situation

And that was none other than Hibiki.

[A certain goddess of magic admires your skillful display of skills]

[A bearded lustful god requests you remove your armour]

[An angry water goddess bonks the lustful God on the head]

Watching the actions of various Gods on her status screen, Hibiki couldn't help but have a wry smile

Unknown to her various classmates, apart from Tomoki, Hibiki had gotten the most amount of gods' notice and even some blessings in the process.

Scrolling through her status screen, Hibiki frowned slightly as she inspected her new skills

[One loved by mana: hello girl, good job! This goddess raises your affinity with mana to the highest!

Note: the goddess of magic expects you to become her apostle later on]

[Friend of water: have you ever been friends with the ocean? If not then here you go!

Blessed by the goddess of water, your water affinity has been said to be raised to the highest

Attached skills: walking on water(active), underwater breathing(passive), underwater communication(passive)

Note: the goddess of water expects you to become her apostle later on]

Just looking at the two skills, Hibiki had a lot of thoughts on her mind

First off, while the goddess of water blessing seemed more powerful, Hibiki felt like the mana affinity would help her more later on

Other than that thanks to these new blessings, Hibiki unintentionally learnt a new word

Apostles!

According to the explanation of the system, becoming an apostle of a certain God means that while forsaking all other blessings of other Gods 

Your connection with the God whose apostle you became becomes extraordinarily close

So much so that things like borrowing the God's divine power for your use could be done at will, while also being able to summon the descent of that God

And Hibiki, although she didn't know how strong the so-called divine power was, however, she was certain of one thing

It would be strong! Probably strong to overwhelm all her other classmates 

And as for the empire? She didn't believe that an empire that had stood for hundreds of not thousands of years would have a few hole cards lying around 

Imagining the scene of her wanting to take over the empire and being besieged by twenty or more apostles Hibiki couldn't help but shiver 

*However, it's not like I have to make a choice now*

Whispering this, Hibiki gave a sigh of relief

Thankfully, there didn't seem to be any sort of time limit stated on her status screen

Meaning she could make a choice whenever she wanted, as long as the option still remained

Realising this, Hibiki calmed down before turning her attention to the skills granted along with the water goddess's blessings 

[Friend of water: have you ever been friends with the ocean? If not then here you go!

Blessed by the goddess of water, your water affinity has been said to be raised to the highest

Attached skills: walk on water(active), underwater breathing(passive), underwater communication(passive)

Note: the goddess of water expects you to become her apostle later on]

Judging from the names of the skills, their functions could easily be guessed by her

However, what caught her attention was the active and passive marked in the brackets beside them

*Hmm, if this were a video game then the meaning of these two would definitely represent the main two types of skills*

*Passive skills: skills that are always active without any sort of activation mechanism or consumption requirements*

*And Activate skills, skills that need to be manually activated by the user and consume things like mana or stamina for them to function*

Thinking of this Hibiki felt more and more that her guess was correct, 

unfortunately, she couldn't know if she was correct until she tried it out

And as for asking the system, it didn't work.

Nope matter how many times she clicked on it, no additional information came out. Obviously, she had to find out on her own

"Sigh.., I guess there's nothing else to check then, I better go see what that weird pope is calling us for now"

Thinking of the weird gazes she felt from the Pope whenever he looked at her and her other classmates, Hibiki couldn't help but shiver

Unfortunately, given her current situation she could only pretend not to notice and smile whenever she saw him as she prepared In case of an accident

With this in mind, after shutting off her status screen, Hibiki walked toward the centre of the training ground

As just now, the pope had called for an emerald meeting and announcement
