## Synopsis

An ordinary salaryman dies one day and is reborn as Ars Louvent, the son of a noble. Although he isn't talented in magic or swordplay, he does have one skill that no one else possesses: "Appraisal." Using this ability, Ars can determine a person's current strength, how much potential they hold, and where their talents rest.

This skill is especially useful in the present situation of the country. The government is corrupt, revolts occur more often than not, and nobles far and wide are strengthening their fortifications in preparation for an all-out war. With this in mind, Ars realizes he too must prepare by gathering talented people.

From a persecuted foreigner unparalleled with the sword, a slave with an unknown talent for magic, to a timid boy with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge—Ars begins to surround himself with people to support him, aiming to create the most powerful territory.

Ars, who inherited the wishes of his late father Raven, became the new head of the Lovent family to protect the Lamberk territory and the people. The next challenge with the friends found in "Appraisal Skills" is the battle for the next governor-general of Misian without waiting for the start of the war!

Ars is a capable to seize things in the broader perspective, such as diplomacy and logistics, in order to decide victory before the fighting even begun by using his unique skill Appraisal he can able to determined the status a certain person, this act will gave him a advantage.

* An appraisal is a special power I possess. When I stare at something, I can obtain detailed information about it. It is possible to appraise only human abilities.
* It's not like someone told me that this is an ability called appraisal. I gave it a name myself. I thought it was appropriate to call it an appraisal because it is an ability to understand the details of things.
* Appraisal Information: This is how the statuses are displayed, reminiscent of a certain historical game I like to play.
	+ *Leadership* is the ability to lead an army.
	+ *Bravery* is whether you are strong or weak.
	+ *Wisdom* is smartness.
	+ *Politics* is good at negotiating, good at domestic politics, and good at coordinating.
	+ *Ambition* is betrayal.
* The value on the left is the current ability and the value on the right is the potential ability. As a rough guide to ability values:
	+ *100+, monster*
	+ *90's, superb.*
	+ *80 units, excellent.*
	+ *70 units, good.*
	+ *60s, mediocre.*
	+ *50 units, subtle.*
	+ *40 units, bad.*
	+ *30 and under, no no.*
* After looking at a number of people, I've come to the conclusion that it's just like a certain historical game to some extent. Next, though, is aptitude. D is the lowest and S is the highest.
	+ Infantry's aptitude for close combat.
	+ Cavalrymen have an aptitude for mounted combat.
	+ *Archers have an aptitude for archery combat.*
	+ *A magical soldier has an aptitude for magical combat.*
	+ *Castle building is an aptitude for castle building.*
	+ *Weapons are apt when handling and making weapons.*
	+ *The navy has an aptitude for shipboard combat.*
	+ *The Air Force probably has something to fight for in the sky, so the aptitude for it*
	+ *Strategy is an aptitude for thinking of tactics to gain an advantage in the war.*
* After Ars Evolved his appraisal skill, he can see people's information (Age, Birthday, Place were they born, Family, etc.) more than their value.

Ars is descent in handling a sword he trained himself after his father had an illness. After his father death he doesn't stop training himself, he do it the training for being prepared for incoming battle. Ars have decent amount of magic power even it needed to use a tool to active a certain magic.

In time, Ars keeps recruiting people in his country and other countries by listing a post to hire for their new vassal or their mercenary.

Ars leads an army of about 4,000 and keeps counting; the soldiers are skilled, talented, and almost as powerful as Ritsu. The army force of Lamberk is unstoppable in battle, even if it isn't led by Ritsu. But now the army of Lamberk is more powerful because of Mireilla's leadership as acting commander.
