Episode 241 Amane's university life
Amane's group of four entered university and became university students. Amane and Chika went to the same university, so they sometimes met on the way to school.
On that day, Chika boarded the bus that Amane took, and they exchanged greetings. The two of them were casually dressed with the pochette that Grimm gave them hanging diagonally.
"Chika, how's the class at the Magic Department?"
"Since we are at the stage of confirming the basics, subjects related to Muscle Magic are fine. Rather than that, general education subjects are more difficult."
Amane let out a sigh.
"It's no good for me either. I only studied Lifeblood Magic when I was in high school ... Haahh, I might be the worst student in the Bestowal Magic class."
Chika smiled wryly when she heard that. After her acceptance was determined, she had a chance to train her Bestowal Magic. However, Amane gave priority to learning the new Life Magic registered with the Magic Agency.
"Alisa told you that you should give priority to Bestowal Magic, but wasn't it Amane yourself who became obsessed with the new Life Magic."
Amane's shoulders drooped and she made a pitiful face.
"I regret it."
The two passed through the gates of Shibugami University, and when they entered the university, they went to separate classrooms.
"Don't forget, we're supposed to help make Shadow Puppets at Grimm-sensei's on Sunday."
As they parted, Chika said to Amane.
"Understood."
Amane headed to the classroom to take a lecture on Bestowing Basics I. On her way she met a student named Nakamura Sanae.
"Amane-chan, you don't look well."
"I was shocked to find out in the previous class that I had the lowest magic level in the class."
You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
"That's just for now. After entering the university, your magic level may rise."
The magic level that Amane-tachi were talking about was the magic level of Bestowal Magic.
"Speaking of which, it seems that you don't have any textbooks or luggage, did you forget them?"
"I properly brought them."
Amane tapped her pochette. Seeing that, Sanae made a surprised face.
"Could it be, that's a Magic Bag?"
She seemed surprised because it was rare for a university student to have a Magic Bag. However, about half of D-class adventurers owned one, so Amane didn't think it was rare.
"It's something I got in celebration of passing the university exam."
"Hee~, that sounds convenient."
"That's right. As for shopping, it's very convenient."
When she arrived at the classroom, a male student from the Bestowal Magic Department was talking about diving into the Suigetsu Dungeon.
Thereupon that person went over to Amane-tachi,
"We are planning to hunt Orcs on the second floor of the Suigetsu Dungeon, but would you like to join us?"
It seemed that the purpose of hunting in the dungeon was to raise the magic level and obtain magic stones. When asked about the scheduled date, he said it was Saturday.
"I can't do it. I promised to go to the dungeon with my juniors on that day."
Amane refused. She had a promise to explore the dungeon with Ami and Taichi. Sanae found out that her female student friends would also participate, so she seemed to have decided to participate.
When Amane went to the Suigetsu Dungeon on Saturday, Ami and Taichi were waiting for her.
"Morning, you two are early."
The other two greeted her and said they wanted to raise their magic level. Ami was aiming for magic level 8 and Taichi was aiming for magic level 9.
"Amane-chan."
She turned around when her name was called. Sanae was there.
"I see, Sanae-chan was also exploring the dungeon."
Sanae turned her gaze to Ami and Taichi. The two greeted Sanae. Sanae also returned their greeting.
"Are these two your juniors?"
"Yeah, both of them are excellent Life Wizards."
After Sanae was called away by the university students who were going to hunt Orcs together, Amane went to the Dungeon House to change clothes. After changing clothes, Amane entered the dungeon with Ami-tachi.
They passed through the 1st floor via the shortest route and went down to the 2nd floor. Thinking that Sanae and the others must be hunting Orcs on the 2nd floor, Amane proceeded ahead.
"Amane-senpai, Bestowal Magic, what kinds of magics are there?"
"Let me see. There are many magics for making Magic Tools, I suppose. And also, processing magic stones is Bestowal Magic."
◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆
Around the time Amane and the others began advancing through the 2nd floor, Sanae and her group discovered a group of Orcs in an open space in the forest, and whispered about what to do.
"The number of Orcs is twenty-one. It's impossible for us to defeat them."
They formed a group of six people, but most of them, like Sanae, had just become F-class adventurers.
"I, isn't that Amane-chan and the others."
Seeing the three adventurers heading straight for the Orcs, Sanae's face stiffened.
The male student stopped Sanae from shouting to warn of the danger.
"Don't. They will find us."
With teary eyes, Sanae had no choice but to watch Amane and the others advancing without hesitation.
The Orcs noticed Amane-tachi and ran out. It seemed that Amane and the others noticed that and released some kind of magic. At that moment, the leading Orc burst blood from its chest and fell down.
When the Orcs got to around five meters away from Amane and the others, they collapsed. Sanae saw this and widened her eyes.
"Wh, what's going on with that?'
No one answered that question. It was just as they saw it.
When the last two attacked, Amane took a step forward and swung her right hand sideways. At that moment, the heads of the two Orcs flew off.
Right after that, Amane turned her gaze to the direction where Sanae and the others were hiding and tilted her head. After that, she collected the magic stones and left.
"Was that Attack Magic?"
The lone male student asked a question. Sanae shook her head.
"I don't think so. Amane-chan said her juniors were excellent Life Wizards."
"Life Magic, it's amazing."
"Really ... It was cool."
After learning of Amane's ability, students in her department, including Sanae, came to respect Amane.
