Nezu brought home a textbook on life magic and read it in his room at the inn. The textbook also mentioned the importance of rapid fire, but you may not realize how important it really is until you actually see it.

　This is edited as a textbook to be used at the magic academy, so the teacher will actually have to show them the rapid fire and make them aware of its importance.

　The textbook describes in detail the eleven living magics of "Push," "Corn Arrow," "Thunder Bowl," "Airbag," "Blade," "Javelin," "Thunder Arrow," "Sensing Zone," "Auto Shield," "High Blade" and "Wing.

　If you can master 11 life magic, you are considered a full-fledged life magician.

I heard that it would be done. I needed magic level 8 to learn them all.

　After finishing reading the textbook with the afterword, Nezu took a deep breath. After moving his tense shoulders to relax, he read the afterword.

　It said that those who had mastered eleven living magics were just starting out as living magicians, and that they needed to learn about dungeons and demon-fighting tactics before they could act as professional adventurers.

I've mastered so much life magic, and I'm still just starting out. I guess I shouldn't even call myself a life magician."

　The next day, he went to the Adventurers' Guild to practice rapid-fire shooting. The head of the Kondo branch watched him do so.

Are you a living wizard?"

No, I'm a living wizard's egg."

　Hearing this, the branch manager grins.

I see you've met Mr. Grimm.

We met yesterday and I was given the rudiments of the magic of life."

That's fortunate. It's not often that a Grimm teaches in person these days.

　Nezu recalled that Grim is a Class A adventurer. If he is running a batallion and continuing his activities as a Class A adventurer, he should have little time to teach the younger generation.

　Nezu told him that he happened to meet Ami in the dungeon and was able to meet with Grimm.

He said, "So you're practicing what you've been taught here, that's good. Good for you.

　With that, the branch manager moved away.

This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

I heard that the branch manager here has his staff learn life magic, but I guess that's what you'd expect from a branch with a Grimm teacher."

　After three days of practice, I had mastered the rapid-fire technique and decided to try it in the Suigetsu dungeon. As a result, I found that I could defeat demons up to the third level without any problem.

　Up to the third layer, there were orcs, attack boars, and lizardmen. The magic stones left behind by these demons make it difficult to earn money if you don't kill many of them, but I was able to defeat them without problems by learning how to shoot quickly, albeit imperfectly.

　And when I defeated the Lizardman, my magic level went up. I became magic level 5. Grim told me to come to the mansion again after my magic level reached "5" and I learned "Blade" and "Javelin," so I am almost there.

　Nezu worked hard to learn the two living magics and headed for the Grimm's mansion.

　　　◆◆◇◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◇◆◇◆◆◇◆◆◇◆◆

Mr. Grimm, Mr. Nezu is here.

　Kongoji came to inform me and instructed me to take him to the underground practice area. I went down to the underground practice hall first and waited for Nezu to arrive.

Good morning. I'm here because I've reached magic level 5 and have mastered 'Blade' and 'Javelin'."

Good morning. You are earlier than I expected. Let's see how fast you can shoot "corn arrow" and "push" first."

　I nodded as Nezu demonstrated a quick shot. It wasn't quite there yet, but I think I got a passing grade. I also checked the "Blade" and "Javelin.

"All right," he said. You have my permission to enter the batallion."

　I have contacted the Adventurers' Guild branch in Nagoya to check his personality and background. There would be no problem. Nezu has been asked to live in the mansion. The house is a two-story building with an attic that can be used as a room.

　We decided to let them use the attic. I prepared the bed, the futon, and the blankets. I also did the electrical work and made sure the power supply was working.

　Instead of teaching Nezu life magic, I am thinking of developing him into a kind of instructor for Battalion. Once the other personnel are trained, he is free to return to Nagoya to establish a branch of Battalion, or concentrate on dungeon attack.

　When I have time, I plan to go to the Suigetsu dungeon with them and raise them. It might be a good idea to take Taichi and Ami with me.

　After Nezu started living in the mansion, I started thinking about the eleventh layer of the Narukami dungeon.

Why don't we just use 'wings' or 'boomerang wings' and attack them from the air?"

　Metis offered his opinion.

　I had thought about that, but it seems that the alligator fly was in the way. It seems that the attacking magician was trying to advance using the 'fly' and was hit by a concentrated attack of alligator flies.

　These alligator flies are as fast as combat wings, and it is difficult to shake them off and escape. Moreover, the number of alligator flies is not half as large as the number of wings, and they are said to come in countless numbers.

　Alligator flies seem to have decided that their territory is the air, and they attack flying strangers intensively.

So we decided to go ahead and attack on the ground."

'Can't we just develop faster flight magic?'

Still, the alligator flies will attack, so we can't take our time attacking them."

　Eventually, they begin to figure out how to proceed while defeating the running slugs, which are giant slugs.

"The standard way to kill slugs is with salt. ......"

　I say, and Metis immediately denies it.

They are three-meter-long slugs. I don't know how much salt you will need.

　If they were as slow-moving as real slugs, there would have been something to be done, but running slugs are a nuisance that can move around at the speed of a human run.

But even running slugs have their weaknesses."

What do you mean?"

"There is a small brain between the large antennae on the head.

　Its brain is said to be about the same size as a chicken's brain. They say that if you hit it with pinpoint accuracy, you can defeat it.

But running slugs also move in packs," he said. If you take too long to aim slowly, you will be surrounded. You'll need some kind of magic to shoot them right through the brain in a short time.

　It is possible to use powerful magic to blow up the entire body, but this takes time to activate and consumes a lot of magic power.

It would be even better if it was magic that could be used against quick demons like the Silver Ogre."

　Metis started to say something extravagant. Hearing the key word "short time," he seemed to think that the ability to fire in rapid succession meant that the magic would be effective against the quick Silver Ogre.
