Episode 27 F-class adventurer

I found a secret passage to the boss room in the grassland dungeon, and started diving into the grassland dungeon once every two days. However, while defeating the Orcs and the Lizardmen, I go to the front of the boss room and repeat the hunt while turning back.

After I cashed the magic stones in the adventurer's guild, I was qualified to challenge the adventurer's F-class.

I asked at the Adventurer's Guild counter about the content of the promotion exam. The other party is Katou Sayuri, a female employee of the second year.

"This month's promotion exam is 'log defeat'."

There is a training ground behind the Adventurer's Guild. There is a log standing there, and it seems that you can pull it out, knock it down, fold it in half, or cut it.(TN:Not sure how you 'fold' a log, but okay...)

"Wow, haha --- this month is a loss."

A veteran adventurer waiting for his turn behind me laughed. The assignments for the promotion exam change on a monthly basis. So, it seems that there are months where it is easy to pass and months where it is difficult.

"You're out of luck. Give up this month and do your best next month."

I had a complicated expression on my face.

"Is it really such a difficult task?"

"That's not the case. I heard that three people passed this task."

"Well, three people have passed this month."

The veteran adventurer grins.

"No. It's been three people since this adventurer's guild was built."

This adventurer's guild should have been built for about a decade. So there are too few with just three.

"Isn't the Adventurer's Guild willing to let people pass?"

This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.

"The branch chief said that if you're an adventurer, it's okay to experience a setback once."

Isn't the branch chief willing to let people pass this month? I'm really out of luck.

After the examination was accepted, I went to the training ground with a D-class adventurer who is cooperating as an examiner. The veteran adventurer who was laughing also followed for some reason.

"Why are you following me?"

"Recently, I have less chance to laugh. I thought I'd go out to eat after having some fun."

"Have you been told that you have a bad personality?"

When I say that, the veteran adventurer grins.

"Don't make it out to be so insidious."

"Did you finish your business?"

"I only issued a report. I'm the E-class adventurer Ono Tesshin."

"I'm Sakaki Grimm, a G-class adventurer. I'm called Grimm."

After introducing myself, Tesshin asked me what kind of magic I was good at.

"It's life magic."

Tesshin burst into laughter.

"Ahaha ... are you serious. I guess it's already a failure before it even starts, isn't it."

I'm used to this reaction, so I ignored it and headed to the training ground.

A log stood at the edge of the training ground. It's about 30cm in diameter and over 3 meters high. It seems that there was a person who took the promotion test before me because it was a little scratched.

"If you can knock down this log within one minute, you will pass."

The examiner is a D-class adventurer who seems to be the type to take his work casually.

"What are you going to do? You're not thinking of digging a hole and knocking it down. It's buried quite deeply."

Tesshin is quite noisy. If I used 'Blade', it may be cut, but let's use that as a last resort. This time, I'll compete with a series of SeventhPush.

"Are you ready?"

"Anytime, please."

"Then, start!"

With that voice, I look at the log. Then, I slammed the 'Push' that was activated seven times at the log. There was a crushing sound of air, and the seven-layered D-particle plates collide with the log.

A rattling noise echose and vibrations run through the ground. Tesshin had a surprised face. The same is true for the examiner standing next to him.

"What the hell are you doing?"

I have no time to answer Tesshin's question. I hit the log with the next SeventhPush. The log tilted a little. I fire SeventhPush once more.

At the eighth shot, the log flew out of the ground with a pop. Tesshin and the examiner who saw it stared at the fallen log with their mouths open.

"The time is?"

When I checked with the examiner, he told me that it was 40 seconds. Apparently I passed.

Some staff and adventurers emerged from the Adventurer's Guild, looked at the fallen log and their eyes went round.

"Hey, the log fell down."

"What kind of magic did you use?"

There was a lot of noise.

"Pass. Here's your certificate."

Having received the certificate from the examiner, I returned to the reception and handed the certificate to the staff.

"Hey, did you pass? Congratulations!"

It seems that the receptionist thought I couldn't pass. I had my adventurer card updated and became an F-class adventurer. Now I can dive into the intermediate dungeon.

By the way, an F-class adventurer is an adventurer that works mainly in the 1st to 10th layers of the intermediate dungeons.

I looked at the guild bulletin board for the first time in a while. On the bulletin board here, recruitment slips for team members and a guild notice with the market price of magic stones are posted.

"Is it just recruitment of Muscle Wizards and Attack Wizards? Isn't there a recruitment for Life Wizards?"

I think there are teams that I can join if I show my abilities, but it would be nice if a team that I want to join appears.

"Let's go home for the time being."

I bought some food and then went back to my apartment. I wanted to think about a long-range 'Cone Arrow'.

I launch the Sage System and think about new magic based on 'Cone Arrow'.

First, consider extending the range. How much energy is needed to extend the range. In life magic, the energy is a combination of the magical power of the caster and the power extracted from the D-particles.

If I rely only on the magical power of the caster, the amount of magical power consumed will be difficult, so I decided to collect a lot of D-particles and extract the power. In other words, increase the size of the D-particle cone.

By trial and error, I found that if the diameter of the D-particle cone was doubled adn the length was extended to about 1 meter, the range could be extended to 20 meters.
