Episode 135 Garm's end
Chika's SeventhHighBlade ended up slashing the Garm's shoulder when it jumped sideways to avoid it. The Garm showed its anger by baring its fangs as the monster's blood splattered into the air.
Alisa and Amane, who had driven off the BlackHyenas, also fired a SeventhHighBlade at the Garm. The Garm dodged the attacks by jumping towards the wall, kicking off the wall, and jumping at Alisa.
Chika and Yukari intercepted with multiple 'Push' activations. The Garm, that was hit with two instances of 'Push' at the same time, was stopped in the air and fell.
Alisa and Amane then unleashed a SeventhThunderArrow. Even the Garm could not avoid this series of attacks. The SeventhThunderArrows, which pierced the monster's body, injected a large electric current with a thunder-like roar, causing great damage.
The Garm staggered as a burnt smell wafted through the air of the large basement. Chika used a SeventhHighBlade, Alisa and Amane used SeventhHeatShell, and Yukari used QuintJavelin.
Those attacks hit the Garm one after another. Even such a monster was chopped up and its life was stopped. The four of them felt something inside their bodies emit a thumping sound.
"It looks like our magic level has risen."
Yukari raised her voice. When she checked it, Yukari had gone up two magic levels to 7, and the other three reached magic level 10.(TN:Life Magic for all of them I'm assuming.)
"I finally reached double digits."
Amane happily raised her voice.
"Must be nice."
Yukari said with envy.
"If Yukari gets serious and works hard with her Attack Magic, I think you'll reach magic level 10 in no time."
When Alisa said that, Yukari made a dissatisfied face. She wanted her Life Magic to reach magic level 10, like everyone else.
"Alisa as well, if you really worked hard with Analysis Magic, wouldn't you have exceeded magic level 10 by now?"

Alisa let out a sigh.
"Don't say that, because Karina-sensei also told me to do my best with Analysis Magic."
Analysis Magic was useless in dungeons, but it could be used to analyze dungeon products and magic circles on scrolls and extract them in a form that could be registered with the Magic Agency.
Since there were few people who could use advanced Analysis Magic, it was not uncommon for Analysis Wizards with magic level 10 or higher to be scouted with high contract fees.
"Everyone, check the drop items."
They heard Chika's voice. Alisa and the others also hurried up and checked. A black magic stone , a scroll, and a key were dropped.
"What is this scroll?"
Alisa picked it up and looked inside. Only a magic circle was drawn. Since there was no explanation, even Alisa didn't know what the magic formation was.
She tried using 'Item Analyze', but it was just a scroll with a magic circle related to Life Magic, and she didn't know what the magic circle was.
"I guess I'll have to ask Grimm-sensei to find out."
When Alisa said that, Yukari made a face of wondering why.
"But, Grimm-sensei can't use advanced Analysis Magic."
"There are that many Life Magics being registered with the Magic Agency. I think he's teamed up with an excellent Analysis Wizard."
"So that's it."
Chika picked up the key and stared at it. Amane walked up beside her.
"Let's open the safe."
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing what's in it."
After returning to the treasury, Alisa and the others checked which safe the key they had obtained belonged to. It belonged to the second safe. When they opened the safe, they found four left-handed gauntlets.
"This is no ordinary gauntlet."
What was there was a Magic Equipment gauntlet. It was a gauntlet that had the function of repelling attacks. When Alisa and the others put them on, they were surprised at how light they were. They also seemed to adjust the size automatically.
They were made of pale metal, but it was special. Alisa and the others went outside and tried to attack the gauntlets by cutting off a tree branch.
When Alisa received the branch attack with her gauntlet covered left arm, the branch bounced back with the same force as the attack. Chika's attack was such that she lost her balance, so its repulsive power must have been strong.
"Depending on how you use it, it might be a trump card."
Chika muttered. However, at the moment, she felt that she was the only one who had the skill to use it as a trump card.
It was late at night when Alisa and the others returned to the surface that day. They went to the Adventurer's Guild and exchanged the ArmorBoar's stripped goods and magic stones.
ArmorBoar meat was delicious if properly processed. However, Alisa and the others didn't have the technology to process it, so they exchanged it for cash at the guild.
The Branch Chief came out from the depths of the guild.
"It seems that another team has defeated Garm."
"They are students of the Magic Academy."
Katou told the Branch Chief. Hearing that, the Branch Chief smiled wryly.
"This time it's Grimm's students, huh. I can only say it's amazing. So, what did you get in the treasury?"
Alisa and the others could have refused to tell them, but they wanted to know how much the Magic Equipment gauntlets were worth, so they told him.
"Fumu, it's a kind of 'Reflect Guard'. If it was a set for both arms, it would have exceeded 100 million, but if it's only for one arm, it would be around 50 million."
Hearing 50 million, Alisa and the others jumped for joy.
"If you want to put them up for auction, I'll take care of it."
Alisa and the others shook their heads.
"No, we will use them ourselves."
Since it was late at night, the Branch Chief had Alisa and the others sent home by the guild's car.
When Chika returned to her home, her family was anxiously waiting for her.
"Isn't it quite late."
Her father, Kenzo, reprimanded her.
"I thought I told you I'd be late."
Kenzo nodded. Before Kenzo could reply, her older brother Kenichi interrupted.
"You went to fight Garm, didn't you. It's only natural for your family to be worried.
"Of course. This is the reward."
Kenzo and Kenichi were surprised when Chika showed them the magic gauntlet and explained.
"I can't believe that you're still a student at the Magic Academy, yet you can get this much treasure."
Chika herself couldn't believe she got it, so it was no wonder her family was surprised.
