Episode 13 Cone Arrow

　After talking about 'Blade', I parted from Amane and Alisa and returned to the janitor's hut.

　I'm thinking of Alisa, who said she didn't have a magical means of attack.

　I can't let Alisa learn the magic of 'Blade'. Not because I'm keeping it a secret, but because 'Blade' is a magic that is difficult to learn unless she reaches magic level 5.

　There is a reason why 'Blade' is magic level 5 while 'Swing' can be learned at magic level 2. This is because the V-shaped plate is stronger than the 'Swing' Keisaku Plate and the range is extended to 5 meters. This 'Blade' can attack monsters 5 meters away.

"It would be nice if there was a life magic that could be learned even at magic level 1 that could attack monsters."

　Among the attack magic, the one that becomes the rudimentary attack magic is the magic that shoots a magic bullet called 'Bullet'. It is said to be as powerful as a duck-shooting air gun.

　Frenzy Mice and Ripper Cats will be killed, but Rushing Sheep will not. It's that powerful. However, that is the case with magic level 1. The characteristic of attack magic is that the higher the magic level, the higher the power. At magic level 3, you'll be able to kill the rushing sheep with 'Bullet'.

　By the way, students who can use attack magic learn this 'Bullet'. Then, it seems that they will learn the next attack magic by raising the magic level while defeating small monsters.

　Well, if there is something like the attack magic 'Bullet', more people may learn life magic. I launched the Sage System and used the virtual space to think about new life magic.

　Now let's build it based on 'Push'. 'Push' is the magic of forming D-particles into a plate and pushing them forward. The shape of this plate was a cone like a soft serve ice cream cone, and the contents were empty.

　I decided to test how fast a conical D-particle cone with a bottom diameter of 5 cm and a length of about 30 cm would be extruded.

　When activated, a D-particle cone is formed in front of the eye, and it pops out and accelerates at a speed of about 70 km / h. However, at about 5 meters, the D-particle cone collapses after reaching a speed of about 100 km / h. The range seems to be 5 meters.

"Sadly, the range is short. When it comes to magic circles that can be learned at magic level 1, only such simple things can be done."

　Powerful magic and useful magic complicate the magic circle. In that case, only those with a high magic level can learn it, so if you want to create a life magic that can be learned even at magic level 1, you have to sacrifice various things.

　I wanted to try 'Cone Arrow', but the sky started to darken. The exercise is tomorrow, so I decided to go to bed early. After taking a shower in the men's dormitory, I ate dinner at the student cafeteria and went back to the janitor's hut to sleep.

　The next morning, I head to the dungeon below the cliff with my equipment such as my hunting sword and my Leather Armor in a large Boston bag. I took a bus down to the front of the dungeon under the cliff.

"Good morning. Grimm-Sensei."

　I heard Alisa's cheerful voice.

"Good morning. You're early."

"This is my first time in the dungeon under a cliff, so I came early."

　When we were waiting together, Amane and Yukari came together on the next bus, then Ninomiya and Kishi, and the teacher Karina Mochizuki came on the next bus.

"Tsk, is this the supporter?"

　Ninomiya glares at me and says. I will follow this team to keep track of who killed which monsters and what actions they took, and to support them.

　The teacher, Karina, is a magician in her thirties. She seems to have been a D-class adventurer before she became a teacher. Speaking of D-class, she must have been active mainly in intermediate dungeons, so if it is a beginner dungeon, there should be no problem.

　This is the only team to dive into the dungeon below the cliff today. Their other classmates are going to another dungeon.

"Grimm-sensei is with us instead of Kaizuka-sensei."

"Yes, thank you."

"What is your dungeon experience?"

"I went to the 6th floor of the giant tree dungeon."

"Well, it's not amazing even though you're a Life Wizard."

　Ninomiya laughs through his nose.

"Hmm, about half of the students go to the final layer of the beginner's dungeon."

　In the exercise, the students also dive into the giant tree dungeon and go to the cave in the final layer, so I think they are saying that.

　I was proud to go to the final layer and defeat the dungeon boss, but when Ninomiya told me that, I thought I wasn't quite there yet.

　Karina cautioned.

"You've only been to the third level yet. Don't say anything useless."

　Ninomiya made a moody face and shut up.

　We entered the dungeon house in front of the dungeon and changed clothes. This building is managed by the Japanese government, and an application to enter the dungeon is to be submitted here.

　The application was prepared by Karina and accepted.

　Alisa approaches me, wearing Blue Lizard Leather Armor. Her weapon was a short spear. Most of the students wore Leather Armor, with the exception of Ninomiya's Scale Armor.

　Yukari's weapon was a bow, Ninomiya had a mace, and Kishi and Karina used swords. Kishi is an inconspicuous student, and I don't remember what kind of student they were.

"Well, let's go."

　Karina took the lead and entered the dungeon below the cliff. The first layer of this dungeon was a large dome-shaped space with rugged terrain.

"Be careful because the monsters here are Blood-sucking Bats and Large Spiders."

　The students respond to Karina's warning. I also wanted to come here as a student. However, it is impossible because the tuition fee of the academy is high.

　I encountered a monster for the first time. It is a Large Spider with a leg length of about 20 cm. Ninomiya who saw the figure starts running with his battle mace in his hand.

"Leave it to me!"

　Swinging down the battlefield at the Big Spider. The Big Spider jumps and runs away, and Ninomiya runs after it. Ninomiya, who ran for about 10 seconds, killed the Big Spider.

"Tsk ... it's too much trouble."

　Even if you are a talented but inexperienced first grader, it seems that even a beginner dungeon will give you a hard time. Besides, Ninomiya seems to be not good with quick enemies.
