Episode 210 Meteor Gate, again
Four days after Alisa and the others became D-class adventurers, the volcano on the 6th floor of the Shinyou Dungeon erupted. At the same time, the seal on the 'Meteor Gate' was broken.
The Adventurer's Guild in Shibugami City chose for challengers for the 'Meteor Gate', Alisa's group of four, along with Kurotsuki Keigo, who graduated from the Magic Academy that spring.
After graduating from the academy, Kurotsuki joined the Battalion that was founded by Ishibashi, a C-class adventurer. Kurotsuki, who learned several Attack Magics in that Battalion, seemed to be working in the Suigetsu Dungeon with a team of friends.
That day, D-class adventurers gathered in front of the Shinyou Dungeon. Most of them were challengers of the 'Meteor Gate'. Alisa-tachi and Kurotsuki received reference numbers from the Adventurer's Guild staff in front of the unsealed 'Meteor Gate'.
It looked like they would have to wait about an hour and a half.
"Let's wait at the Dungeon House."
When Yukari made the proposal, everyone else agreed. When they went to the resting room of the Dungeon House, Kurotsuki, who had arrived earlier, was drinking tea that he had bought at the shop.
"Kurotsuki-senpai, did you join the 'Cavalier Corps'?"(TN:Literal name is horse-riding attacker gentlemen/samurai team/group/corps.)
Amane asked a question. The Cavalier Corps was the name of the Battalion established by Ishibashi.
Kurotsuki, who seemed to have become a little stronger, nodded.
"That's right, I decided to improve my Attack Magic, so I joined the Attack Wizard Battalion."
While they hadn't seen each other for a while, Kurotsuki had become a person who had the atmosphere of a practitioner. Grimm was also serious, but they got the feeling that he was somewhat relaxed. On the other hand, Kurotsuki gave the feeling of the harshness of living on the edge.
"Speaking of which, weren't you guys E-class?"
When asked that, Alisa answered as their representative.
"The other day, we just became D-class."
"Is that so."
Yukari asked Kurotsuki what the Battalion was like.
"Our Cavalier Corps has only just been established, so we don't have much in the way of accumulation, but there are materials created

Time passed while they chatted, and then it was Kurotsuki's turn. And finally, Alisa's turn was first.
Alisa's reference number was called and she stood in front of the 'Meteor Gate'. She entrusted the Magic Bag she always carried to the other three, and instead wore a waist pouch containing only an Escape Ball and a primary healing magic potion.
Holding only the Mangyou Sword, she touched the orange door. She pushed the door open and went inside. It was quite spacious inside. With this size, she could also use 'High Blade'.
A Centaur stood in the center. It was just as she was told by Grimm. Alisa hurriedly activated 'Auto Shield' and 'Sensing Zone'.
Alisa stepped forward because she was too far away to attack with Life Magic. The Centaur saw that and pulled its spear-holding arm behind itself.
The spear was thrown at a considerable speed. Alisa, who knew of the attack, intercepted it with a QuadOgrePush. The spear flipped by the Ogre Plate flew back to the Centaur's hand.
"That spear, it's troublesome."
The moment she said that, the Centaur started running. The Centaur approached and raised its spear to stab Alisa. She intercepted it with a QuadOgrePush.
The moment it tried to attack, the Centaur who received a counterattack lost its balance and staggered. Seeing her chance, Alisa unleashed a SeventhJavelin.
The Centaur repelled it with the spear. Grimm said that the Centaur seemed to be able to see D-Particles, and it seemed to be true.
The Centaur rushed forward. Alisa activated 'Protective Shield' in its path. The Centaur, seeing the D-Particles, tried to jump over the formed D-Particle Durable Shield.
Alisa fired a SeventhArrow, which had the shortest activation time, and immediately after that, she activated SeventhJavelin. The moment after the Centaur repelled the D-Particle Cone with its spear, the D-Particle Javelin pierced the Centaur's chest.
Aiming at the Centaur that fell to the ground, SeventhJavelin was activated in succession. The D-Particle Javelins that hit it in the head and heart ended its life.
"Fuuh, unfortunately, it seems that my magic level didn't rise."
Alisa analyzed the fight just now, and judged that she was able to win largely because she had been taught the fighting patterns of the Centaur in advance. If she fought without knowing anything, she might have lost.
A treasure chest appeared, so she opened it. As expected, it was a D-particle Collector. Alisa picked up the D-Particle Collector and walked out the door.
The other three hugged Alisa.
"You did it~!" "You won." "I was a little worried."
"Thank you. It's Yukari's turn next, so be careful."
Yukari nodded with a serious face.
Yukari put her hand on the door of the 'Meteor Gate' and pushed it open. Inside was the same spacious space that she had heard from Grimm. However, what was standing in the center was a RockGolem.
"Haah, was I judged to be an Attack Wizard."
Yukari's magic level was '8' for Life Magic and '10' for Attack Magic. It seemed to have chosen her higher magic level.
The monster made of rock began to move. She activated 'Sensing Zone' and 'Auto Shield', then activated SeventhHighBlade.
A gigantic Blade of D-Particles was swung down at super high speed. The V-shaped plate that hit the RockGolem's shoulder dug into it and cracked it open.
"Hard, but, if I aim intensively."
Because the RockGolem moved slowly, she retreated little by little while activating SeventhHighBlade in succession. The D-Particle Blades hit the RockGolem from its shoulder to its neck, creating a crack.
And then, thinking that it was enough, Yukari slashed the final SeventhHighBlade to the side and slammed it into the RockGolem's neck. Its head flew off and the RockGolem fell.
When the RockGolem disappeared, a treasure chest appeared. When she checked inside, it was a large gold ingot.
"I also would have liked a D-Particle Collector~."
After she said that, she picked up the heavy gold ingot and went outside. The other three were happy that she returned safely.
"But, my treasure was this."
Yukari was dissatisfied, but the other adventurers were looking at her with envy. Alisa hurriedly put the gold ingot into the Magic Bag.
"Next time, let's go to an auction affiliated with the Adventurer's Guild. There might be a D-Particle Collector."
Amane suggested. The other three nodded.
After that, Amane and Chika challenged the 'Meteor Gate' and both of them obtained a D-Particle Collector. Chika's magic level was '11' for Life Magic and '8' for Muscle Magic. She seemed to have been judged to be a Life Wizard.
"I think Chika is too biased towards Life Magic. I think you should put a little more effort into Muscle Magic."
Alisa advised Chika.
"I think that will be after the exam is over. It's impossible to do both in the limited time."
"Aaahhhh, the days of studying for the entrance exam are about to begin again."
Amane said regretfully. Yukari nodded as if she understood.
"That's right, let's go hunt DarkCats on the 30th floor after passing the university exam."
Hearing that, Amane's face brightened.
"Shadow Puppet, is it. When I saw Grimm-sensei's Komugi-chan, I wanted one."
By the way, Kurotsuki tried the 'Meteor Gate', but the gate didn't accept him. It was unknown what criteria was used to judge it.
