Episode 112 Grimm and Taichi

I decided to try a TripleOgrePush and stepped back. The range of this magic was about 9 meters. When fighting large monsters, I thought that without this range it would be useless.

I stared at the tree trunk and activated a TripleOgrePush. I wasn't used to it, so it took some time. The Ogre Plate flew while rotating at high speed and hit the trunk of the tree, scattering wood chips while making a circular hole in the trunk.

The sound of scraping the trunk could be heard for a while, but the Ogre Plate disappeared as soon as the sound disappeared. What remained was a hole about ten centimeters deep and sixty centimeters in diameter in the trunk.

"It's tremendous power. With this, I think I can stop an ArmoredBoar from rushing."

ArmoredBoars were monsters that wielded high defensive power and tremendous charging as weapons. A SeventhPush was needed to stop that rush, but 'OgrePush' seemed to be able to stop it with a triple activation.

Next, I decided to try a QuintOgrePush. I only barely activated the quintuple activation. An Ogre Plate that rotated at high speed with an air-cutting noise shot out and hit the trunk of the tree.

The left two-thirds of the thick trunk with a diameter of about 80 centimeters was scraped off and penetrated. The tree, which could no longer be supported by its remaining parts, fell with a creaking sound.

I thought I'd try a SeventhOgrePush, but it seemed I couldn't activate it without practice. I practiced rapid firing TripleOgrePush.

I fired it over and over again, letting my mind and body learn the feeling of activating 'Ogre Push'. That day, I was almost exhausted from just practicing, so I returned to the surface.

Before I left, I stopped by the Adventurer's Guild, where there was a commotion.

"Don't joke around. I heard that you can get BigSheep's wool regularly in the Suigetsu Dungeon. Why is it that you can't get BigSheep's wool?"

It seemed that there were vendors who occasionally came to the Adventurer's guild directly. It seemed that the one who was making a fuss was a vendor dealing in high-class wool. Katou, the receptionist, desperately explained.

"The 'Scarlet Moon's Envoy', which specializes in collecting BigSheep wool, is on an expedition to the Kazahana Dungeon in the neighboring town. So, if we run out of stock, even if we want to sell it, we can't sell it."

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

"Wait a minute. The opponent is a BigSheep. It can be defeated even if it's not the 'Scarlet Moon's Envoy'."

In order to obtain BigSheep's wool, you had to keep defeating BigSheep until a dungeon error occurred. There were few adventurers who wanted to do such things.

"If you would like to pay the extra fee, I can ask an adventurer, what do you want to do?"

"I heard that you can get BigSheep wool at a bargain price at the guild here, so I came all the way here and can't pay the extra fee."

I didn't know where they heard about it, but it seemed that they came to the Adventurer's Guild after hearing rumors of the 'Scarlet Moon's Envoy' that regularly brought back BigSheep's wool. All I could say was it was bad timing.

By the way, it was the first time I had heard that the BigSheep's wool sold at this Adventurer's Guild was cheap. It may have been cheaper because there was 'Scarlet Moon's Envoy' that regularly obtained BigSheep's wool.

The market price was determined by supply and demand. I was thinking that it would be nice if the vendor who was making a fuss should pay the extra fee.

As if he heard the commotion, Branch Chief Kondou came out from the back.

"What's the fuss about?"

Katou explained to the Branch Chief. The Branch Chief took the vendor in question to the Branch Chief's office.

I went to the counter and exchanged the magic stones for money. Katou was in charge of exchanging money.

"You have it hard."

"It was really hard. It would be nice if there was an adventurer who would undertake the BigSheep hunt ... How about Grimm-sensei?"

"Unfortunately, I can't meet your expectations. My hunting ground is on the 15th floor."

"Maybe you're looking for the den on the 15th floor?"

"Yeah, next to the Orc Castle treasury is the den on the 15th floor."

I completely ignored it when I went with Hougetsu, but it seemed that there was an ArmorBear den in the forest where the ArmorBears lived. There was a treasure chest in that den. I was thinking of giving it a shot.

While I was drinking coffee in the waiting room, Taichi appeared.

"Grimm-sensei."

"Yo, is Taichi diving into a dungeon during summer vacation?"

"Yes, I've become able to dive into intermediate dungeons, so I'm diving into Suigetsu Dungeon with my classmates."

They seemed to be hunting Orcs and AttackBoars in the forest area on the 2nd floor.

"Grimm-sensei, I've learned 'Blade' and 'Javelin', so I want to learn the next Life Magic, but what should I do?"

The Life Magic registered with the Magic Agency after 'Blade' and 'Javelin which can be learned at magic level 5, is 'Auto Shield', which is magic level 8.

There was no Life Magic that could be learned at magic level 6 or 7. I felt like that part was out of balance. Since Life Wizards like Taichi were growing, should I increase the amount of magic registered with the Magic Agency? I'll think about it.

"Taichi, what kind of Life Magic do you want to use?"

"That's right. There is 'Thunder Bowl' for lightning, and a magic that explodes like 'Crash Bullet'."

Explosive magic was flashy and popular. Also, 'Thunder Bowl' seemed to be popular. Come to think of it, Tesshin also asked me to teach him.

Oops, Taichi was asking me what magic to learn next. Basically, I thought it was enough to learn up to 'Javelin' in the first grade, but I understood the desire to learn various things. I had to check before that.

"Are 'Blade' and 'Javelin' fully usable?"

"I practiced properly."

"Hmm, let's check it out. Show me at the training ground."

"Understood."

We headed to the training grounds. There was Tesshin in the training ground. It looked like he was practicing 'Thunder Bowl'.

"Grimm, is that kid also your student?"

"It's like the student of a student."

I introduced Taichi to Tesshin. Tesshin was a rather conspicuous person, so he probably knew his face, but he didn't seem to have talked to him.

"What are you doing?"

To Tesshin's question,

"I'm checking how much Taichi has practiced."

I had Taichi shoot a SeventhJavelin and a SeventhBlade at a pile of sandbags. SeventhBlade was okay, but SeventhJavelin missed the target.

"Your 'Javelin' requires practice to increase your accuracy. Once you've done that, you should learn 'Thunder Bowl'. I'll register it with the Magic Agency by then."

"Thank you very much."
