Do you know?"

　In the waiting room of the Adventurers' Guild, young adventurers were talking.

What are you talking about?"

The Tithe and the other wizards of life have gone hunting for Firedrake."

Firedrake: "......, you don't mean to be a C-rated?"

I heard that if you beat Firedrake, you can take the exam for promotion to Class C." Because I hear that if you beat Firedrake, you get an exam to move up to C level."

"Courageous of you. I'm sure many of them died in the failed hunt for Firedrake."

'Yes, because they say that Firedrake is not as strong as a dragon, but close to it.'

Tighty, since we're not strangers, why don't you invite me to join you?"

　The young adventurer who said that has a cold look in his friend's eyes.

What?"

You can't get to the C level just by defeating a Firedrake," he said. You have to defeat the Blue Ogre solo in the promotion test. Can you do it?"

Oh, I could ...... if I was desperate."

Don't do it. You'll die.

　So, at the Adventurers' Guild in Shibushi City, Taichi and his friends who went hunting for Firedrake were the talk of the town.

　　　◆◆◇◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◇◆◇◆◆◇◆◆◇◆◆

　Taichi and Ami were chasing after the Fire Drake on their battle wings. The somersaulting Firedrake came up behind them and spit out a flaming breath at them.

　The two activates "Magnetic Barrier" and deploys a magnetic barrier against the flame breath to prevent it. The moment the flame breath was cut off, Taichi released a D-particle vibration ball backward.

　Firedrake avoided the D-particle vibration ball.

I knew that with the speed of Crashball, you could avoid it."

　Taichi looked at Firedrake with a reluctant look on his face.

We're splitting up.

　Taichi and Ami turn, splitting left and right. Firedrake follows Taichi. It spits out another fire breath and attacks Taichi.

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

　Taichi once again defended against it with a magnetic barrier, but the D-particle magnetic core became too small to prevent a third time. At that moment, Ami launches her "Thunder Sword" from behind Firedrake.

　The D-particle Thunder Sword struck Firedrake as a bolt of lightning. With the blow, Firedrake began to fall while squirming.

　Almost to the ground, Firedrake tries to get back up, but unfortunately fails and rolls rumbling on the ground, screaming in pain.

　The three waiting players, Tesshin, Kalina, and Shun, attacked the Fire Drake. Shun activated "Crash Ball" and slammed the D-particle vibration ball into Firedrake's back, and Tesshin activated "Jet Blitz" and released D-particle jet bullets.

　The spatial vibration wave punches a hole in the back of the firedrake, and the moment the D-particle jet projectile hits, the compressed air turns into plasma with super-high heat and burns the firedrake.

　Perhaps because the opponent was a Fire Drake, the power of the plasma was limited. Firedrake gets up and tries to fly away.

　At that moment, Karina raised her sacred sword Miming and reaped off Firedrake's right leg. Firedrake's leg, which should have been sturdy, was severed in a snap.

　Then the attack began with all five of them. Firedrake, who was hit in the sack, was topped off with Shun's "Thunderbird Push". It seems that his heart stopped due to the electric shock.

Yay!"

　Ami shouted and jumped for joy. Shun was happy, thrusting one hand up to the heavens. Kalina and Tesshin are staring around the area where the fire drakes disappeared, feeling stunned.

Let's look for the drops."

　Karina, coming back to herself, raised her voice and ordered the Shadow Puppet to come out of the shadows and search for the drop item. Ami, seeing this, also brought out her shadow puppet to search.

I'd like to learn how to make a shadow puppet. Maybe I'll ask Dr. Grimm to teach me how to make a shadow puppet, too."

　Shun raised his voice. Ami heard it,

I could teach you how to make shadow puppets."

　When Shun heard these words, he asked.

　The first dropped item other than Firedrake's magic stone that we found was Firedrake's fang. Since this was evidence that the Firedrake had been defeated, Tesshin put it away in his storage bag.

　The spear is found next. Then a pendant and a ring are found.

What are these pendants and rings?"

　Taichi looks at the two dropped items and raises a question. Hearing this, Tesshin also twists his head.

Unfortunately, none of us have access to analytical magic, so I don't know.

　Having no choice, they decided to go back to the surface and ask the Adventurers' Guild to look into the matter. After spending the night on the way back to the surface, Taichi and his friends headed for the Adventurers' Guild.

　The adventurers who were killing time in the waiting room saw Taichi and the others and the air was filled with zaqq. Maria, at the reception counter, saw the face of her sister, Carina, and called the branch manager.

I'm sorry you're tired. Please go to the branch manager's office."

　Taichi and his team went up the stairs to the branch manager's office. Once inside, they found Branch Manager Kondo waiting for them.

By the looks of it, the hunt for Firedrake was a success.

Yes, I beat him safely."

　At the same time as Taichi's voice, Tesshin took out his Firedrake fangs and showed them to the audience.

　The branch manager calls Kato, who is at the reception desk. Kato called him at the reception desk to check the item in the "Item Analyze. Kato, who was called, confirmed the fangs of Firedrake.

There's no doubt about it. It's the Fangs of Firedrake."

Well, great."

　Taichi and his friends, incidentally, ask to examine the spear, the pendant, and the ring.

This spear is the 'Geir Assal,' the divine spear.

　Tessin picked up the gayassal and began to check it diligently.

'Gay Assar, you mean the spear of the god Lug in Celtic mythology? If so, it would be legendary."

　Kato also examined the pendant and the ring. As a result, he found that they were a storage pendant and the "Minotaur's Ring. The storage pendant has the same capacity as a space six meters in length, width, and height, respectively.

　The "Minotaur's Ring" is said to be a ring that strengthens muscles, just like the "Ring of Fudo Myoo" that Amane holds. Its effect is multiplied up to five times.

　Taichi and the others discussed and distributed the drops. It was decided that the divine sword Miming would go to Karina, the "Ring of Lightness" to Shun, the "Ring of the Minotaur" to Ami, the divine spear Gayassar to Tesshin, and the storage pendant to Taichi.

　It was decided that the "Ring of Lightness" would be better used by Shun, who could use magic-armor magic. Since Ami's weapon of choice is a war club, it was decided that the "Minotaur's Ring" would be better.

　Later, in order to fight the Blue Ogre, the five were taught the basics of high-speed combat by Grim, and they took a promotion test and successfully became C-level adventurers.
