I accurately measured the new magic's speed of flight and calculated the distance it would travel in ten milliseconds. The distance was a little more than one meter, so I was able to determine the time designation if I knew the distance from the demon.

Now, this guy's name, let's call him 'Crashball II.

　Komugi comes to my side. Métis, seemingly uninterested in magical names, responds with a curt reply, 'I think it's good.

Why don't you try the "Power Sword"?

I'll give it a try." Let's give it a try."

　I took out the power sword from the storage armlet and poured magic power into it. Then I felt power flooding through my body.

I'm like, "Wow, that's great. I feel like I can do anything."

　I jumped straight up. Normally I could only jump about sixty centimeters, but now I was jumping about a meter, though I flew lightly.

　I was so happy to feel the power that I had, that I ran around the practice field and jumped up on the concrete blocks to test my power. I must have tried it for about 15 minutes.

'It seems to me that you should stop at that point. It looks like you're getting swept up in the power.'

It's just something you're not used to."

　I put away my power sword and went to the Adventurer's Guild. I figured it was time to put together the results of yesterday's raid battle. I went to the reference room and found a map of the fortress.

　A map was drawn on a large piece of imitation paper, floor by floor, and taped to the wall. Several adventurers were looking at it, and Saijo was among them.

Are you physically fit now?"

'Yeah, looks like you took care of me yesterday. Thank you."

　I guess the staff told him I carried it.

Nagase found Saijo-san lying on the ground and carried him out of the fortress. I carried him from there to the ground."

　Saijo listened without expression, but thanked him one last time before leaving the reference room.

　Tesshin was watching the scene. He smirked and approached me.

If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

For Saijo, it wouldn't be funny."

What's not funny?"

I was saved by two people I consider my rivals."

I don't care if they're my rivals."

'Well, I don't see how a C-class adventurer can see two A-class adventurers as rivals, but I heard Saijo was called the genius of magic-armor wizardry in Hokkaido. He probably thinks he can become an A-level adventurer right away."

　Is Saijo's magical talent 'S'?

I heard that Tesshin-san is trying to become a C-level adventurer." What do you think?"

　Tesshin cowered his shoulders.

I'm steadily building a track record," he said. It may take a few years, but I'll make it to C level."

　He seems to be doing his best in his own way.

Yes, Tesshin-san, do you know of a life magic called 'Crash Lance' that can be learned at magic level 9?"

No. Is it magic just registered with the Department of Magic?"

　I nod in affirmation.

It's a life magic registered by a man named Saheiji Ogami, and unlike previous life magic, it's effective even against demons with strong defenses.

I'll learn it when I get to magic level 9. When I reach magic level 9, I will learn it. By the way, you said you were going to establish a batallion, how are your plans coming along?"

Yes, we have secured funding and will establish it once we have enough members.

I want to be a part of it.

'You're welcome to it, but Tesshin-san, you're a magic-armor wizard, and you're fine with my bataillon?

I'm not in any bataillon, so it doesn't matter."

　Now there were seven members: Alisa and the other four, Taichi, Shun, and Tesshin. Since ten people are needed to establish Battalion, there are only three more to go.

　A few days later, I received a notice that the Chimera Crystal and the "Fruit of the Tree of Life" had sold at an auction, and a large sum of money was transferred to my bank account. However, because of taxes, I could not use the entire amount in my account.

　I negotiated with Chika's grandmother to buy the mansion. It was a complicated process, but the house was mine and I was going to renovate it.

　　　◆◆◇◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◇◆◇◆◆◇◆◆◇◆◆

　Alisa and her colleagues learned from the list of living magic at the Magic Agency that Grimm registered "Crash Ball" in the name of Saheiji Ogami and "Catapult" in the name of Dr. Grimm at the Magic Agency.

In this 'Crash Ball,' Dr. Grimm defeated the Aqua Dragon, right?"

　Yukari said with a twinkle in her eye. Chika heard it,

Naturally, you'd buy a "Crashball" magician."

　Everyone nodded at Chika's suggestion.

It's frustrating. Everyone else can learn it right away, but I have to wait until I reach magic level 10.

　Yukari says with real regret.

Yukari will be at magic level 10 in no time. She can learn "Death Shot". She can learn Death Shot, can't she?

　Alisa said comfortingly.

Yukari is great. She's doing a great job with life magic, attack magic, and life magic as well."

　Amane praised Yukari. Hearing this, Yukari made a happy face.

　Yukari purchased a "Death Shot" magic circle as well as a "Crash Ball" magic circle.

　A few days later, the four of us dived into the Suigetsu Dungeon to test the "Crash Ball" and "Death Shot". Our goal was to hunt dark cats on the 30th level, but we planned to test "Crash Ball" and "Death Shot" against armor bears on the 23rd level.

　We stayed overnight in the mid-boss room on the 20th layer and went to the 23rd layer. On the way, we flew down to the 23rd layer by D-particle wing. This area is nestled with Panish Rhino and Armor Bear, and the first one we encountered was Panish Rhino.

　Panish Rhino has a means of attack called a lightning attack, which is an electrified body strike, so one must be wary.

　Because Alisa and the others were upwind, Panish Rhino was the first to notice them by smell. Alisa and the others noticed Panish Rhino when they heard the sound of electric footsteps rushing toward them.

Let's try "Crashball."

　Amane raises her voice. Amane, who was the first to say so, decided to try it out, carefully aiming and activating the "Crash Ball" to release the D-particle vibration ball.

　The D-particle vibration ball hit Panish Rhino in the head and radiated spatial vibration waves. It penetrates the head, neck, chest, abdomen, and buttocks, inflicting a fatal wound. The fallen Panish Rhino disappears, leaving behind a magic stone.

That's great. That's a blow.

Panish Rhino was supposed to be reasonably defensible."

　Amane and Yukari raise their voices. After that, they tried "Crash Ball" against Armor Bear and felt that its power was different. Yukari was the only one who tested the power of "Death Shot" and felt it was powerful enough to satisfy her.
