Episode 22 Life Wizard and Muscle Wizard

　I decided to give one piece of advice.

"You didn't seem to be doing your best when you slashed, but why is that?"

"If you slash with all your might while powering it with magic, the sword will not endure and will break."

　I was wondering if that was the case.

"Then, why don't you make a sword out of black iron? You can get it because there is a vein in the giant tree dungeon."

"But it costs money to get a sword made."

"That's right, but there is also a way to get magic stones and store them little by little."

"Was Grimm-Sensei's hunting sword made by a swordsmith?"

"Unfortunately, I fixed the chipped blade myself, but I bought the Leather Armor by selling magic stones."

　I see Amane appraising my Leather Armor.

"Well, it costs about 400,000 yen for Orc Leather Armor. It's amazing to sell magic stones and make a profit of 400,000 yen."

"I was lucky. Let's get back to the story, but if it's gold, you can collect and prepare magic stones. I think it's too soon to give up."

　I moved the team forward.

　After encountering the Attack Boar, we continued and encountered a Big Rabbit. A rabbit about the size of a sheep, it is a monster that specializes in head-butting and backwards-kicking.

　It's not very strong, so Chika and her friends kill it with a single blow. After killing six Big Rabbits, we reached the river. Unfortunately, we encounter two Orcs there.

　The Orc is about 180 centimeters tall and looks like a fat professional wrestler with strong muscles and thick fat.

"Se, Sensei, it's an Orc."

"What should we do?"

　Amane and Alisa screamed with a stiff look on their faces.

　There is a thick club in the hands of the Orcs. I decided they were too strong to leave them to the students and I decided to fight.

"I will fight, so please support me from behind."

"I understand."

　Alisa, the leader of the team, answers.

　I pulled out my hunting sword. One of the Orcs rushes. I activate a 'Push' that was activated five times towards it. The D-particle plate made a buzzing sound as it tore through the air and collided with the Orcs. The Orc flew through the air and falls to the ground.

　It may have been as shocking as if it had collided with a driving ordinary car. The other Orc swung its club at me. I jump back and dodge it.

　I cast a TripleArrow at the Orc trying to chase me. The D-particle cone hit it and pierced its chest. It's a fatal injury. The Orc that had been knocked down by the D-particle plate is about to rise.

　I ran up and slammed a TripleSwing into its head. There is a reason why I make heavy use of triple-activated life magic. Multiple activations are less burdensome up to triple activations. When it comes to quadruple or quintuple activation, it's only a moment, but it takes time to accumulate.

　I rushed at the dazed Orc in a moment and slashed its neck with my hunting sword. At that time, I felt something inside my body emit a thumping sound for the first time in a while. It is a signal that my magic level has risen.

　For the past month or so, I had been diving into the giant tree dungeon to train Amane and Alisa, but on other days I dived into the dungeon almost every day and continued to fight against monsters using life magic.

　However, even if I defeated the monsters in the beginner's dungeon, the magic level did not rise. It's time to graduate from the beginner's dungeon and move to the intermediate dungeon.

"It's brilliant."

　Chika says that she was impressed.

"It's really amazing. It's wonderful that the timing of activating life magic is used at the right timing."

　Alisa also says she was analyzing my way of fighting.

　Chika turned her gaze with a face that seemed to have a question.

"Sensei, what was the last life magic you used?"

"That's 'Swing'."

　Multiple activations of life magic are known as Amane and others have begun to use it.

"Is swinging the hunting sword the trigger to activate it?"

"That's right. Rather than activating while imagining the target location and swinging angle, the angle is determined by activating it according to the swing of the hunting sword, so it can be activated smoothly."

　Chika seems to be very impressed.

"I also want to learn life magic. Please teach me."

"I don't mind."

　Yukari approached with a face that she couldn't believe it.

"Sensei, you used 'Push' for the first Orc, isn't it too powerful?"

"The feature of life magic is that if the magic level goes up, you can activate multiple life magic at the same time. That was 'Push' with quintuple activation, which is overwhelmingly more powerful due to the synergistic effect."

"What a thing, there was such a secret in life magic."

　I turned my gaze to Yukari and sighed.

"I'm teaching this in class, but ..."

"Hahaha ... but I haven't been told to use it in such a way."

"I have no intention of teaching those who are not thinking about using life magic positively, because it will make an unnecessary detour for those who have talents in attack magic and Muscle magic."

　To raise the magic level, you need to defeat the monster and be stimulated by something unknown hidden inside the monster. However, there is another factor in raising the magic level. Use that magic a lot. This makes it easier to raise the magic level.

　Amane hits Yukari's shoulder.

"Yukari should do her best with attack magic. Chika should too with muscle magic."

　Amane and her friends seem to get along well enough to call each other by name.

　Chika shook her head to deny it.

"In my case, things are a little different."

"What do you mean?"

"My magical talent is 'C' in both muscle magic and life magic."

　When asked what kind of Wizard you are, you answer the most talented magic.

　Chika said she was a Muscle Wizard, but it seems that she could have called herself a Life Wizard. I heard that and I had a difficult face. I thought it would be wise to call yourself a Muscle Wizard if you could call yourself either.
