Numerous corrections of errors.

Staring blankly at the status plate, the bishop noticed my suspicious behavior and called out to me.

"Is something the matter?"

I shouldn't show this! What should I do?!

...Right! It says here that I can hide my [Physical Growth], [Magic Growth], [Attribute Aptitude], and [Titles] at will! Maybe... Yes, it worked!

"Sir Christoph, is something wrong?"

"No, nothing at all."

I showed the bishop the status plate with a forced smile.

=== Status ===

[Name]: Christoph von Brütsels

[Race]: Human

[Gender]: Male

[Date of Birth]: Sacred Calendar 500, January 1

[Status/Profession]: Second son of the Brütsels Margrave Family

[Physical Growth]: Average

[Magic Growth]: King Class

[Attribute Aptitude]:

None: King Class

Fire: King Class

Water: King Class

Wind: King Class

Earth: King Class

Ice: King Class

Lightning: King Class

Light: King Class

Dark: King Class

Space-Time: King Class

[Title]: None

[Rewards/Punishments]: None

I managed to change all the statuses that were Spirit Class or God Class to King Class and completely removed the unique ones. I also removed the title of "Divine Child." Even in this state, it's clearly a high-spec status, but it's better than showing the real content.

From the knowledge I've gained so far, even a hero's highest level is Tyrant Class, so if it were known that I surpassed that with Spirit Class or God Class, it would cause a huge commotion. With King Class, it seems like it can be passed off as just having talent.

Hey? The bishop's hand is shaking.

"You're a genius!"

"Huh?"

"Sir Christoph, you are a genius in magic!"

Why is the bishop shouting? Is King Class really that big of a deal? Or is it because of all the attributes?

The bishop's voice drew my mother and others who were waiting behind. Then...

"Our child is a genius!"

"Brother Chris, that's amazing!"

"Well, well. With all these King Classes, the Brütsels family is secure."

King Class, huh... I guess hiding Spirit Class and God Class was the right choice. If they were making a fuss over King Class, what would have happened if I showed my real abilities...

And why is Freesia saying the family is secure?

"Since Sir Christoph doesn't seem to understand, I, Berthold von Oily, will explain."

Oh, thank you. So the bishop's name is Berthold von Oily. Is he a noble with a territory?

"Sir Christoph's [Magic Growth] at King Class is only confirmed in one person, Lady Rosaria von Excel. This means he is the only one on this continent."

Wow, I thought Lady Rosaria was amazing, but she really is!

"Lady Rosaria was the first to appear in decades with King Class. As for [Attribute Aptitude], having all attributes at King Class is something that even past heroes have never achieved."

Huh, really...

"Generally, 70% of people only have the None attribute, and these 70% are said to have no magic aptitude. The remaining 30% have one attribute other than None, and most of them have only one. Even if someone has multiple attributes, they usually have strengths and weaknesses, and it's impossible for all to be King Class!"

I already knew about all the attributes from Lady Rosaria's crystal, and I thought there were many people with King Class, but apparently, having multiple King Classes is very unusual...

"According to legend, the heroes had Light attribute at Tyrant Class and a few other attributes at Intermediate Class. While King Class is below Tyrant Class, it is the highest confirmed for heroes, and some heroes had King Class as their highest. For a Hecaton, King Class is the highest ever, and while Lady Rosaria has Ice attribute at King Class, the others were Lower or Intermediate Class."

So, I really did it! By the way, is it okay for the bishop to reveal Lady Rosaria's abilities? Oh, if it's public information, it's fine...

"Um, what should I do?"

"If you make it public, there will be a commotion..."

"I'll go home and discuss it with Ernest. Everyone, please don't say anything about this."

After that, Anne's 'Heart Ceremony' was a mess... I feel bad for Anne, but I did see her status plate clearly! Anne has [Physical Growth] and [Magic Growth] both at Strong, and her [Attribute Aptitude] is Lightning, None, Wind, and Light. A so-called triple.

But isn't it strange to have a triple with four attributes?

Well, the None attribute is common to everyone, so it's usual to count the other attributes... Even knowing this, the bishop was making a fuss because of the information he just learned...

When I got home, my father also made a big fuss, but it seems that my information will only be shared with the king and the minimum necessary people. It's a political matter, so I don't have the final say.

Apparently, someone with all attributes at King Class is considered a walking ultimate weapon, and the power balance with other countries is a delicate issue.

I wonder what would happen if I said I had Spirit Class and God Class?

Later, I found out that even having one attribute at Hero Class or King Class is considered a prodigy or genius. Tyrant Class and Emperor Class are at the level of past heroes, and even among heroes, only two have ever had Tyrant Class. Spirit Class and God Class are said to be in the realm of the divine.

...It seems that this is generally known, so it's not often written in books...
