My Refrigerator Turned Into A Dungeon Chapter 303

Special Labyrinth Entry License Application 5: Skill Demonstration Interview

The battle has ended.

What unfolded in the world created within my heart was an intense and brutal battle of supre ntal strength. But in the end, I persevered and won, while the psychic old lady collapsed after spraying blood from her nose.

I'll keep the details of this battle under wraps.

However, if I had to ntion one thing, it would be that my sli macho folder flared up. I'll just leave it at that.

The psychic old lady was carried off on a stretcher by the dical team, but before being taken out of the room, she blushed and gave a thumbs-up, as if wanting to say, "That was a good fight..."

Seeing this, the male staff mber in glasses who had taken over from the old lady looked at it and said...

"Ah, yes... seems like you're alright. Please move to the next interview room."

It appeared he took that as a sign of passing.

And so, I passed the first interview and managed to keep my secrets safe.

...

However, six n were waiting for when I arrived at the second interview room.

Apparently, in the second round, it was 6:1. It wasn't the previous one-on-one style, but rather a format more like an entrance exam.

First, there were three scary-faced older n in suits sitting to the right. They were probably police officers or military personnel, glaring at as if to intimidate. On the left were two governnt official types with cold expressions. These were probably people sent from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism, clearly unmotivated and expressionless.

In the middle of these extres was a man in a white coat, smiling gently, clearly out of place. He must be a doctor or a researcher, as he seed completely different from the others.

"Well then, let's begin the interview. You are Egetsu Nakihito, correct?"

"Yes."

The man in the white coat, holding so docunts, spoke to , but I had to stand as there was no chair provided.

The situation was starting to feel like when I had to quit my previous job, making feel uncomfortable. The floor was covered with thick rubber mats, and logs and iron bars were lying around.

Hmm… it looks like here they’re going to make activate my abilities and directly observe them.

"Your skills are… [Salt], [Craft], and [ditation]? That's quite an unusual combination."

"Are you kidding ?! There’s no way monsters in a dungeon would have skills like these!"

Despite the man in the white coat speaking calmly, scary-faced older man A imdiately raised his voice and ruined the atmosphere. Ah, this feels like dealing with the manager from my last job.

"Well? I don’t know anything about that. I just had them when I realized."

"I see! So, you learned them on your own. That's quite rare, but it's not impossible."

"..."

I lightly dodged the question, but the man in the white coat responded without issue.

Perhaps irritated by this, the scary-faced man A fell silent. Hmm, maybe he got transferred to the Special Labyrinth Task Departnt against his will? Even if that’s the case, it’s still bad form to take it out on soone who isn’t involved in your situation.

"You won’t understand by just talking. Anyway, let’s see these skills."

"Alright, Egetsu-san. [ditation], you’re able to ditate, correct? Please demonstrate it here."

Encouraged by the older man B, who seed reasonable despite his stern appearance, I decided to show my skill.

"Understood. Activating skill [ditation]! (…mmm)"

I cald my mind, felt the flow of energy, and unlocked my chakra instantly.

"…Done. That was the skill [ditation]."

"Are you mocking ?! You just closed your eyes!"

Now, scary-faced man A slamd the table and shouted.

Well, you might not have felt it, but if soone who could sense it had been here, they’d be thinking, “Wow, this guy’s chakra is fully open!!” and be seriously surprised. Hmmm, maybe this guy was also pushed out of the Self-Defense Force or sothing?

"Um, there doesn’t seem to be any other ability users here, does there? If that’s the case, you won’t be able to fully understand the skill, right?"

"Wh-what did you say?!"

"Oh, no, I also have a status. But I’ve never fought, so I probably look like a regular person."

"I see, so that’s the case."

Ignoring the noisy man A, I decided to talk only with the man in the white coat. It was probably better for both of us.

"Now then, please use your [Salt] skill."

"Alright. Let spread so fine salt on the table."

I approached the conference table and sprinkled fine white salt onto the surface.

"How la…"

"Ha~..."

Hey, I can hear you, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism.

And the scary-faced n clearly sighed in disappointnt. But I’m not about to explain the full extent of my [Salt] skill to you. Feel free to think of it as a la skill.

"Ho~! So this is the [Salt] skill? Wow, the particles are really fine!"

However, the man in the white coat was fascinated by the sowhat unimpressive [Salt] skill.

"Oh! This is delicious! This is really good salt!"

Ah, I see, you’re the type who wants to try everything. That’s very much the researcher vibe. I get it.

"Now, for the final skill, please show us [Craft]. Is there anything you need?"

"No, I’m fine. I’ll just use the salt to make a craft."

So I created a small salt castle the size of a palm. I didn’t have a specific model, but since I put a shachi (a fish-shaped ornant) on the roof, maybe it resembles Osaka Castle.

As soon as the scary-faced man C, who had been silent until then, saw it, he jumped out of his chair and yelled.

"What was that creation speed!? What did you just do?!"

"Huh? Creation speed? Well, that’s probably the effect of the [ditation] skill."

Apparently, they were surprised at how quickly I could create and shape the salt. So I just played it off as the result of [ditation].

"Can you make weapons with that salt?!"

Man C asked further. Hmmm, military types are always focused on weapons.

"Ah, well, I could probably make small ones…"

Before they could ask to create a sword or spear, I quickly made a salt vajra modeled after the one Unkai-san gave and handed it over.

Heh, how about that? It might look impressive, but they probably won’t know what to make of it.

"Hm… it’s hard…!"

"It’s heavy! This is comparable to quartz!"

"What?!"

But as soon as they touched sothing that looked like a weapon, the scary-faced n got all excited.

"Ah, I’m tired now. Hah… I’ve made two pieces, so can we call it a day?"

"Oh, of course. Can I keep these?"

"Yeah, go ahead."

"Thank you. Then the interview is over."

"Thank you very much."

Heh heh heh. I successfully escaped with my move, pretending to be the annoying junior coworker persona from one of my 48 personas. Well, both of them won’t be infused with much magic, so they’ll disappear completely in a couple of hours anyway.
