Episode 23 Orc and Lizardman

　I promised Chika that I would teach her life magic if she wished.

"Grimm-Sensei is amazing. He still hasn't put out his trump card."

"Amane, that was supposed to have been a secret."

　Amane, scolded by Alisa, put her hand on her mouth. Yukari's eyes shine.

"What is the trump card? I'll keep it a secret, so tell me."

　Yukari's words to keep it secret don't seem to be credible. However, showing her the magic was not a problem. The problem is in keeping the magic circle secret.

　I promised to show it off when we encountered an Orc or a Lizardman.

"Then let's move on."

　Alisa called out.

　Then we encountered an Attack Boar. By instructing Alisa to use Chika as her guide, I guided her to a location where she could easily aim and they killed it with magic bullets and her TripleArrows.

　Then, we encountered three Goblins and reached the killing goal. Alisa and the others who defeated the eleven monsters decided to turn back.

　On the way back, Yukari was looking restlessly around for something. Amane who saw it, was worried.

"Yukari, what are you looking for?"

"Orc or Lizardman. I want to see Grimm-Sensei's trump card."

　I had no choice but to smile. I wonder if Yukari's thoughts were understood, because we encountered a Lizardman. The Lizardman is a lizard humanoid. It is bipedal and has hands, but its head is a monster called a lizard.

　This monster is tougher than an Orc. It is about the same height, but it has a body like a gymnast and moves quickly. Moreover, its weapon is a longsword.

"Sensei, it's your turn."

　Yukari called out as if she was calling me as a bouncer.

　I pulled out my hunting sword and went out in front of the Lizardman. Before I attacked, the Lizardman tried to use its reach to slash me with its longsword, so I fired a TriplePush.

　The Lizardman was blown away and turned over as if it had hit clear glass. The Lizardman who jumped up while raising a strange voice thrusts its longsword at me. I swung my hunting sword towards the lizardman.

　The distance was about 3 meters and the hunting sword could not reach the Lizardman. However, at the same time as the hunting sword is swung, the Lizardman's chest is torn apart with the sound of a bang that cuts through the air.

　The TripleBlade cut it. And the Lizardman collapsed.

　Yukari and Chika see it and raise a surprised voice.

"Why!"

"What kind of magic?"

"This is a life magic called 'Blade'."

　Chika showed extraordinary interest.

"Sensei, how powerful is it?"

"The current 'Blade' was a triple-activated one, so if it's a Lizardman, you can cut it."

"Triple activation ... What if it's five-fold activation?"

"I have defeated the boss of a beginner dungeon."

　Suddenly Chika sat down on the ground and bowed her head.

"What? What's wrong?"

　When I was confused and asked a question,

"Teacher, please teach me that trump card."

　With that said, she bowed her head again.

"Wait a minute, you can't learn 'Blade' until you reach magic level 5. The first thing you need to do is learn 'Push', 'Swing', and 'Cone Arrow' to raise your magic level."

"Okay. When I reach magic level 5, I'll ask again."

"Yes. Good luck."

　Then we returned to the ground from the grassland dungeon without encountering anything other than the Big Rabbit.

"Well, is the second team Grimm-Sensei's? You did your best."

　It seems that Karina's team was the first. There are three Attack Wizards among the members. I was convinced.

　After us, Ninomiya's team came back.

"Why is the team with life wizards back first?"

　It's a noisy guy. This great exercise depends on your luck, so you shouldn't have to stick to the rankings.

　Amane glared at Ninomiya.

"Are you saying it's strange that we are first?"

"Hmm, it's strange that a team with two useless people will come back first."

"The useless person is on your team, isn't it?"

　Ninomiya's complexion changed. He looks scary and approaches Amane and tries to threaten her.

　I intervened between Ninomiya and Amane.

"Who was the first to say that? It's unreasonable to get angry just because you had your words returned at you."

"Noisy, I just told the truth."

"What's the truth. They're fighting well and killing monsters."

"That's a lie. They're all learning life magic that can't be used, right?"

"I taught it in class, but life magic is also useful for hunting monsters."

"Hey, isn't it just 'Light' or 'Push' that they were taught? What is it useful for?"

　Yukari laughs with her nose.

"Snort, you rushed seriously, even though you tumbled."

　Gouda, who had been silently listening in the back until then, put on a stern face.

"What do you mean? Did Ninomiya, who learns Muscle magic, lose to Grimm?"

　Also, something confusing came out. If you're silent, you should be silent until the end.

"No. To teach the power of 'Push', I just had them experience how much impact it would have if they were hit by it."

"Is there such a thing, but I think he wasn't careful, and got knocked down by life magic."

　Karina came over.

"If you say that, why don't you give it a try? The serious 'Push' of Grimm-Sensei is amazing."

　Thinking it was someone else's affair, Karina made a strange proposal.
