Episode 133 Iron Golem's Boss Drops
Maria turned to face me.
"Did Grimm-sensei's magic level not increase?"
"Because I just reached magic level 13 a few months ago."
Karina nodded as if she understood.
"Once your magic level reaches double digits, you won't be able to raise it easily."
We decided to find out what the boss drops were. When we went to search the place where the IronGolem died, Maria found a black magic stone .
"Black magic stone, huh. First of all, it's about securing profits."
A short distance away from Karina, a rapier about a meter long was found.
"It's a vermilion steel rapier."
Vermilion steel was a bright scarlet metal, and it was one of the top three metals in terms of sturdiness. As a weapon used by a Muscle Wizard, it was the highest grade excluding Magic Weapons. I decided to have Karina use the rapier.
A ring was also found. Maria looked at the ring.
"Is it Magic Equipment?"
"It's an IronGolem's boss drop, so I think so, but it will have to be checked out."
By the way, Maria didn't seem to be able to use 'Item Analyze'.
We went back the way we came and returned to the Adventurer's Guild around 10:00 pm. We reported to the Branch Chief here and had him examine the boss drop items.
The rapier was a vermilion steel rapier, just like Karina had said. It turned out that the ring was a 'Pain Reduction Ring'. I decided to ask Karina and Maria to let me have the 'Pain Reduction Ring'. It was an important key item for me.
The black magic stone would be exchanged for money and divided into three equal parts. I said that since I was going to receive the Magic Equipment 'Pain Reduction Ring', they could give it all to Maria, but we divided it into three equal parts because the ring was not very useful.

It was getting late, so I had the Adventurer's Guild drive me to Shibugami City. I gave Karina the Life Magic circles that could be learned at magic level 8.
WIth this, she could learn the 11 Life Magics necessary to become a full-fledged Life Wizard. If she taught them to the students of the magic academy, the evaluation of the Life Wizards would also increase.
I slept until noon the next day. I was pretty tired. When I went to the Adventurer's Guild after eating, Maria was working at the counter with a sleepy face. I guess she hadn't recovered from yesterday's fatigue.
"You've had it rough. I just woke up."
"I'm envious."
Maria who said that was glared at by Katou, her senior.
"I envy you, Maria. Your magic level went up by three in one day, right?"
"Ehehe, that's right. It's the first time I've seen this."
Although it happened that magic levels would rise by two in a day after defeating a tough foe, three seemed to be rare. Maria answered Katou with a big smile.
"By the way, today I came to ask you what I should do to study magic letters."
Katou thought for a moment.
"After all, going to university and studying, is the best way."
My shoulders drooped. I had money, so if I studied hard, I should be able to enter a university. But then learning magic letters would be a long way off. I asked because I thought it was about time to properly examine the Magic Book.
Katou noticed my disappointment and made another suggestion.
"If you don't like the university, how about hiring a tutor?"
"A tutor? Is there a tutor who can teach you magic letters?"
"You can hire a lecturer or associate professor who teaches magic letters at a university as a tutor."
"Can associate professors and lecturers do side jobs?"
"If you apply to the university, it seems that it will be fine."
It seemed that the Adventurer's Guild sometimes asked for translations of books found in dungeons. I was introduced to a few people. Even so, I was only shown a university pamphlet.
Among them, I noticed a young instructor who taught magic letters. His name was Murase Seiichi. He seemed to be an excellent person who taught magic letters at Seisei University.
I went to Seisei University and met Murase in person to negotiate. He was reluctant at first, but he agreed after I promised to pay a reasonable price.
Murase was an intelligent person who wore black-rimmed glasses and spoke in a polite manner.
"This is the first time I've been asked by an active adventurer to teach them something."
I got his promise to teach me magic letters and then returned.
After returning to the Adventurer's Guild and thanking Katou and Maria, Alisa and the others arrived. Apparently they needed something.
"Grimm-sensei, we found a secret door leading to the treasury."
Alisa told me. She said they found a secret door, but hadn't been inside yet.
At first, I thought of going with them, but since Alisa and the others wanted to defeat Garm on their own, I decided to just give them some advice.
Garm, who guarded the key to the treasure chests, was a giant dog. It was dangerous if it rampaged with its huge body. I thought they could defeat it with SeventhHighBlade, but I thought it would be better to teach them 'Heat Shell' as well.
I handed the magic circle of 'Heat Shell' to the four of them. Yukari didn't have high enough magic level to learn it, but she could just put it away in the Magic Bag Alisa had.
Then Tesshin arrived. He came to see me.
"Look at this."
He said such and he showed his adventurer card. His card that was E-class was now D-class.
"Congratulations."
"I was able to become D-class because of the Life Magic you taught me. I'm grateful."
It seemed that Tesshin had raised his magic level of Life Magic to '7' and was aiming for '8'. His purpose was 'High Blade' and 'Wing'.
" 'Sensing Zone' and 'Auto Shield' are also useful and important Life Magics."
"I know."
Since I was able to meet Tesshin, I talked to him, who had experience fighting Garm. He said that Garm's ability to summon its kin, the BlackHyenas, was the most troublesome, but there was one more thing that one must be careful of.
"It's Garm's tail. That tail is tinged with weak electricity, and if it touches you, you will be shocked. There will be a moment when you can't move. And some people got hurt because of it."
Alisa and the others listened intently. She said that they would actually go to the treasury next Sunday, but I wanted them to come back safely.
