Episode 21 Meadow Dungeon

　After school on the day the students chose their instructor, Karina visited the janitor's hut.

"Oh, am I the instructor for the great exercise?"

"Yes, Mori-san's team said that Grimm-Sensei was good."

　I was happy with the trust of Amane and others, so I decided to accept it.

"Yes. I understand. I will accept it."

　Karina looks relieved.

"I asked Mori-san, is it true that you defeated the dungeon boss of the giant tree dungeon?"

"It's true"

"Then you got the boss drop, right?"

　It seems that the items left after defeating the dungeon boss are called boss drops.

"Yes, night-vision goggles and a magic scroll."

"Well, night-vision goggles are something precious. And when it comes to scrolls, did you get new magic?"

"That's right. With the help of the principal, I registered with the Magic Agency."

"I envy you."

"It's life magic, so the person in charge said that it wouldn't be very profitable."

"But even if you don't work, you have a monthly income."

　I had no choice but to laugh at Karina who was really envious and sighing.

　On the day of the great exercise, I went to the schoolyard with my equipment such as Leather Armor. There is a bus parked in the schoolyard, and I got on the bus. I found Karina and greeted her. Looking around, I saw Amane and others. They waved at me, so I raised my hand and responded before sitting in the seat near me.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

　Then the bus headed for the grassland dungeon. We arrived in about 40 minutes. We got off the bus, changed clothes at the dungeon house, and then met up in front of the dungeon.

　Immediately Alisa and her friends came over and raised their voices.

"Grimm-Sensei, thank you."

"Thank you, Sensei."

　The grassland dungeon is a special dungeon. There is only one layer inside, but there are vast grasslands, mountains and rivers. Forests and mountains can be seen beyond the fan-shaped grasslands from the entrance.

　However, humans can only act in the grasslands. There was an adventurer who tried to enter the forest, but it seems that he couldn't go ahead because of something like a transparent wall.

　Since it is a beginner dungeon, you will not encounter a strong monster. However, there are exceptions. You have to be careful of the orcs and lizardmen. These two types of monsters are the ones that appear in the second layer of the intermediate dungeon.

　Each team started to enter the dungeon. We also entered the dungeon. A vast grassland spread out in front of me, and I felt the wind.

"Wow, it's amazing. Even the wind is blowing."

"How wide is it?"

"It seems that this grassland continues for about 10 kilometers."

　Amane and the others became noisy.

"Don't make so much noise, set a goal and proceed."

　The purpose of the great exercise is to defeat 10 monsters in a team and come back. It seems that as far as monsters go we can defeat anything. However, since it is first come, first served, the late team will have go far.

"Yes, Alisa, what are you going to do?"

　Amane asked.

"Let's aim for the Big Rabbits that I hear are numerous."

　The students seem to be heading in the direction of the river. The instructor's job is to give appropriate advice and protect the students when they encounter dangerous monsters. I memorized the advice by borrowing a guidebook from Karina.

　The first monster we encountered was an Attack Boar. It is a large wild boar that is likely to weigh about 100 kg.

　The Attack Boar started running towards Yukari.

"Take care!"

　Yukari, who responded to Amane's voice, activates 'Bullet' toward the Attack Boar. The magic bullet released from Yukari's fingertips hit the Attack Boar's shoulder.

"Yukari, don't move!"

　The screaming Amane casts a TriplePush from the side of the Attack Boar. The trajectory of the rushing monster deviated to the side. The Attack Boar passes by Yukari.

"Was it 'push' just now? That was stronger than I thought."

　Yukari has a surprised face.

　When Chika activated the magical 'Power Armor' and cloaked herself in magical power, she started running with her sword as if flying in the air. She swings her sword down to the Attack Boar that was trying to turn.

　The blade was deflected by its wire-hard bristles, causing only shallow scratches.

"Chika, dodge!"

　Alisa shouted and fired a TripleArrow. The triple-activated D-particle cone pierced the flank of the Attack Boar and injured its lungs.

　The Attack Boar tries to run at Alisa, staggering in pain. Yukari, who saw it, fired her magic bullet again and pierced its neck. The blow of her magic bullet is fatal and the Attack Boar disappears.

"We did it!"

　After Yukari makes a relieved face, she turns her gaze toward Alisa.

"Hey, what was that just now?"

"It's life magic. It's a magic taught by Grimm-Sensei."

"No way, life magic shouldn't have any magic to attack monsters."

"There are exceptions."

　Chika sighed. Amane who saw the situation called out.

"what happened?"

"I couldn't kill it. My challenge now is to increase the power of my slash."

　Amane turned her gaze to me.

"Is there a way to increase the killing power of a Japanese sword?"

"What are you talking about? That's the field of Bestowal magic and Muscle magic."

　Chika turned her face to me.

"I know that, but to learn armed magic to strengthen your weapons, you need to raise your magic level to '8'."

"Oh, the world isn't sweet."

　Amane seemed to think that those who have the talent for attack magic and Muscle magic, which are said to be suitable for dungeon exploration, will grow up without any trouble.
