Chapter 4

"At least Perfect Caregiver should be useful."

- Han Yoojin

My Brother's Acting Strange (2) is the fourth chapter of The S-Ranks That I Raised novel.

Han Yoojin checks his skills and titles, confused at the merging of pre-regression events with the post-regression timeline.

Summary
Yoojin examines his Status Window, confirming that his stats are the same as before his regression: that of a level 1 F-rank's. His initial skills are also similar to what they were before, being two E-rank Stat Up skills (though the stats themselves have changed from Agility and Strength to Agility and Mentality). As he goes through his Status Window, he discusses how stats and skills work, noting the influence of high-ranking skills on a person's overall rank and giving Emily Spence as an example of a high-rank healer with a low stat rank.

Once he's confirmed he'll still qualify as a Hunter through his E-rank initial skills, Yoojin moves on to his titles. He starts with Dragon Slayer, which he finds to have a number of L-rank resistance skills and one SS-rank buff. Though the skills are impressive in and of themselves, he despairs at the fact that as a stat F-rank, he can't make use of them. On the other hand, Perfect Caregiver (an upgraded version of his former title Caregiver) comes with a number of skills that are extremely useful but difficult to use. My Brat Is The Best and Our Kid Is This Amazing let him boost others' growth and abilities, but they require him to say the keyword "I love you" in order for the skill to first be applied to a target. Last Repayment is a longer-lasting version of Last Compensation, and transfers a target's abilities to Yoojin, but only upon their death. The last skill, Promising Sprout, is particularly useful, as it lets Yoojin check others' Status Windows and trigger optimized Awakenings at will, so long as he's influenced the target with the keyword first. Yoojin is thrilled at the potential applications of his skills, but laments the fact that he'll have to use this risky keyword for them to work in the first place.
