After calming down, I started looking for drops. First, I picked up a White Magic Stone . As usual, I don't know how to use the white magic stone, but if it is a white magic stone , it is the same magic stone as the aqua dragon.

　Elmore picks up a silver auger horn from the floor.

'Silver auger horns were dropping.'

'Heh, what can you use those antlers for?'

　I took out my appraisal monocle and examined it, and the results displayed there were astonishing.

　The powdered horn was used to make the elixir soma. The elixir soma was effective in curing illnesses, but its most important effect was to increase life expectancy.

　I don't know how it extends life, but it is said to stop aging for a certain number of years, not that it makes you younger. If auctioned off, it would probably fetch at least several billion yen.

　After checking to see if there was anything else, I found a treasure chest in the corner of the middle boss's room. I asked Elmore to open it. There seemed to be no traps, and when we checked inside, we found a purple-gold steel

cash flow

In the case of the D-particle secondary mutation, an ingot of D-particles and what appeared to be a scroll of D-particle secondary mutation were found.

　Purple gold steel is called 'living metal' and is stronger than red steel, and even if damaged, it can be repaired over time. It contained about five kilograms of this precious metal.

'Is it metal again? We don't even use vermillion steel, and yet it is more precious than that, purple-gold steel.'

　As for Shu-hagane, I had intended to process it into a weapon and sell it off, but I was so absorbed in practicing high-speed combat that I had not made any progress at all.

　Perhaps now that the Silver Ogre has been defeated, they will be able to afford to fabricate weapons.

I'm going to make weapons to raise money for the renovation of the mansion and the construction of the underground training facility.

'Wouldn't it be quicker, then, to put the silver auger horns up for auction?

　Silver auger horns may never really be available again. There is no need to rush to sell here.

I'm going to hold off on the silver auger horns for a while," he said. I'll put them on auction when I really need the money.

　Since I could not make the elixir soma from the silver ogre's horn alone, I had no choice but to use it myself. I decided to check the scroll after returning to the mansion, and I returned to the ground.

　I informed the Adventurers' Guild staff member at the dungeon house that the entire "Iron Oath" team had died in the mid-boss room on the tenth level. The staff member seemed to have hurriedly contacted the branch manager.

Stolen story; please report.

　The Kondo branch manager wanted to hear more about the situation, so we went to the Adventurers' Guild.

　When I arrived at the Adventurers' Guild and went to the branch manager's office, I found the branch manager, Nagase, a Class A adventurer, and Saijo waiting for me. Saijo had become a Class B adventurer after defeating a mid-boss named Cerberus, a dog with three heads, in a dungeon in Hokkaido.

If you're not done talking with Mr. Nagase and the others, shall we wait outside?"

The two were jointly training to defeat the Silver Ogre. Grim, we heard that your story has something to do with the Silver Ogre, and we'd like to talk with you about it, if you don't mind."

　What I told the branch manager will be made public, so he won't mind if you two hear about it.

Fine."

　After saying this, he tells the story of an attacking magician from the "Iron Oath" team who attacked the Silver Ogre from outside the middle boss room.

　Hearing this, Branch Manager Kondo contorted his face and shook his head weakly.

Those guys should have learned that at the Institute of Magic ......."

　Nagase looks at me.

What were you doing then?"

I was about to turn my back on the four of you and head back because I was going to leave after I checked on the Silver Ogre."

　When I told him that I was also thrown into the mid-boss room as collateral damage for breaking the dungeon ban, the branch manager slammed the table with a thud.

I'm sorry. It was my fault for not realizing they were that insane."

　Saijo looks at me as if to glare at me.

So how did the fight with the Silver Ogre go?"

　I first explained the battle between the "Iron Oath" team and the Silver Ogre. The branch manager heard that,

'Hmm, so once the four of us were dead, it was a battle between a slightly damaged, bare-knuckled Silver Ogre and Mr. Grimm.

　Then he tilted his head.

I guess the fact that Mr. Grimm is here means he won the Silver Ogre, but I can't say I'm surprised."

　Saijo nodded when he heard the branch manager's words.

'Absolutely ridiculous. They say the Silver Ogre can only be defeated by a magic-armed wizard."

　The branch manager remembered something and raised his voice.

'Well, you defeated a dragonet in the "Dedication Room" and got some magical equipment to increase your speed.'

　He recalled that he had reported that he had defeated a dragonut in the "Dedication Room."

Yes, I had gotten some magic equipment to increase my speed, so I was able to beat the Silver Ogre."

　Saijo is staring at me in frustration. Don't look at me like that. I'm not responsible for the fact that you intercepted my catch.

　Nagase shakes his head.

I don't believe it. Even if he possessed magical equipment that increased his speed, he would have to have mastered the art of high-speed combat to defeat the Silver Ogre."

　It seems that magic-armor wizards have given the name "High Speed Combat Techniques" to high-speed combat.

There is a kind of high-speed combat in the magic of life.

"Really?　You didn't use the Iron Oath team as bait to finish off the Silver Ogre?"

　Saijo started to make things difficult. He then told her that if she was different, then she should fight a mock battle with him and show him what she was capable of.

　Saijo, I understand your frustration at having your prey intercepted, but you explained the situation properly. It's also important to have an eye to see if someone's words are true or not. I thought about that before replying.

I'll take a bare-knuckle mock-up any day.

　It seems that once you don't show your ability, Saijo is not convinced. The branch manager looks troubled.

I'm sure Grim is tired from fighting the Silver Ogre. And even if it's a bare-knuckle mock battle, isn't that dangerous if you're using high-speed combat techniques?"

　When I tell him I'm fine, Saijo snickers.

I'll go easy on you.

　When they said they wanted to hand over the bodies of the "Iron Oath" team before the mock battle, they were led to a room at the far end of the guild and the four bodies were placed on a stand there. Nagase examined the bodies and seemed to confirm that they were killed by the Silver Ogre's attack.

　Then we headed for the training ground. The branch manager warned us to stay away from the adventurers who were practicing in the training area.

"What is it?　What's going on?"

　Adventurers who had been practicing gathered. Tesshin was among them.

'Dr. Grimm, what's going on?'

　When people started saying that my atmosphere had changed, Tesshin also started calling me "Dr. Grimm. What had changed in me?

When we defeated the Silver Ogre, Saijo had a hard time with it. So we had a mock battle to prove ourselves."

　Tesshin rolls his eyes.

I was like, "Really, you beat the Silver Ogre that Mr. Nagase from Class A couldn't beat. That's amazing."

　Tesshin turns to Saijo. Saijo was doing some preparatory work with a smirk on his face. Seeing this, Tesshin apparently felt uneasy.

Is he going to be okay?　Saijo's in B class, but it's rumored he's been training with Mr. Nagase in high-speed combat techniques."

I'm training for high-speed combat at Master Mitsuhashi's place.

　While Tesshin and I are talking, Nagase raises his voice.

'Come, let us begin. I will be the judge."

　I was concerned about the fact that Nagase, who was about to team up with Saijo, was the referee, but knocking him out would not be a problem. I walked out to the center of the training area.
