Episode 453 Arisa's Promotion Examination

"Dr. Grimm, why don't you regenerate Bokden and the others?"

　Chika asked.

Of course, I'm going to rebuild the body, but I'm not sure how much I want to beef it up."

Why don't you go for it and strengthen it as much as Tamegoro did?"

Tamegoro is a shadow puppet for use against demons. He has too much power to be used against humans.

But if you're going to catch a thief, wouldn't you prefer a cat-humanoid?"

　I remember when Tamegoro easily caught the intruder. If he continued to increase the amount of shadow clay and increase its power, he might end up killing the intruder.

I guess so. Let's make him into a cat person and have him learn jujutsu."

　Alisa and the others seemed to agree.

　We discussed what kind of shadow puppet we would make. We used ninety kilos of shadow clay, three sorcery sets including a sorcery eye with night vision, two core attachment holes, and a magic battery.

Add to this a shock-absorbing vest, and that should be enough."

　Alisa and the others laughed.

That would put you on par with a C-level adventurer, wouldn't it?"

No, this would be a high Class D." "No, this would be a high Class D. If you put a sorcery eye on it for high-speed combat, it would be a Class C."

　Alisa turns to me.

Speaking of which, what about Elmore's modifications?"

'Unusually, Métis is having a hard time with it,' he said. We're waiting for its conclusion."

Since it is a shadow puppet that I control, I will think long and hard before making a decision.

　At that moment, Komugi entered the room. When he saw Alisa, he ran up to her and jumped up onto her lap. Alisa happily patted Komugi.

Come to think of it, isn't it about time for a B-level promotion exam?"

　I asked Arisa and Chika.

Alisa is scheduled to take the exam this coming Friday.

　Since my opponent is Iron Dragon, I don't think I will fail, but I was a little worried.

Don't worry," he said. I can use the life magic that can be learned at magic level 15."

　With "Crash Ball II" and "Crash Ball," it should be enough to defeat them.

　　　◆◆◇◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◇◆◇◆◆◇◆◆◇◆◆

　On the day of Arisa's promotion exam, she came to the Thunder God dungeon and was surprised to find that the examiner was played by Akemi Sagawa. Akemi was the most famous female B-level adventurer in Japan.

　Akemi is told that if she defeats one more of the five great dragons, she will become a Class A adventurer.

My name is Arisa Yuki. Pleased to meet you."

I'm Akemi Sagawa, and I'll be your examiner.

　We entered the dungeon and made good progress. The only tough demon was the Blue Ogre. However, Alisa had fought the Blue Ogre many times.

Do you want me to take care of it?"

　Alisa alone has defeated the demons she has encountered so far. Akemi, concerned about Alisa's consumption of magic power, offered to help, but Alisa refused.

Don't worry. I'll knock you down with one blow."

　Alisa poured magic power into the "Ring of the Great Myoukou" to increase her speed and defense, and then began to use [super-speed vision].

　From that moment on, the movement around you slows down. Fallen leaves fluttering in the wind seem to have stopped in mid-air, and the blue ogre, which had been moving so quickly, is now moving at normal speed.

　A blue ogre with a war hammer rushed to Arisa and swung at her. Avoiding it, she launched a quint auger push and repelled it with an auger plate.

　The blue ogre, which had rolled on the ground with a rumble, jumped up and attacked again with an angry look on its face. But it was slower than the first time. It seemed to have taken damage somewhere.

　Alisa looked firmly and activated her "Crash Sword" while avoiding the war hammer. A spatial vibration blade is formed and it swings out toward the blue ogre.

　The blade of the spatial vibration wave cut the Blue Ogre's torso in half. Akemi nodded in admiration as she saw the Blue Ogre cut in half in a flash and disappear.

He killed the Blue Ogre in the blink of an eye, which means he's good enough to pass the B-level test."

Thank you."

　After picking up the magic stone, Arisa thanks Akemi for the compliment.

But is that living magic too?"

Yes, it's newly registered living magic."

Life magic, I might as well learn it."

　Akemi seems to have a 'D' talent for life magic. Alisa recommended that she learn it.

　After spending the night in the middle boss room on the tenth layer, we headed to the fifteenth layer. It was around noon that day when we arrived at the fifteenth layer.

Are you ready?"

I'm fine. But it's powerful up close, isn't it?"

　Alisa said as she saw the Iron Dragon slowly approaching.

　Alisa tensed as she felt the ground shake every time the dragon took a step. Still, she turned on her shock-absorbing clothes and hung the D-particle magnetic core, formed by activating the "Magnetic Barrier," around her neck.

　Alisa also advanced slowly. While looking up at the Iron Dragon's huge body, she activated "Crash Ball" in succession, scattering D-particle vibration balls.

　It is an effective method of attack against these huge, non-fast-moving demons. Among the five D-particle vibration balls, three hit the iron dragon and caused significant damage.

　The dragon kicks up the ground, scattering sediment toward Alisa. Arisa deploys a magnetic barrier forward. Immediately thereafter, a large amount of earth and sand bounced off the magnetic barrier and scattered around Arisa.

　The iron dragon spun around in front of Alisa's eyes. As a reaction, its long tail struck Alisa. It seems that the sand and soil was a feint and the real attack was the tail.

　He activated "Titan Push" toward the tail and slammed the Titan Plate into it. The Titan Plate absorbed the kinetic energy of the tail and returned it as it was.

　The tail is flicked off and the Iron Dragon loses its balance. Then, the "Crash Ball II" is activated and a high-speed vibrating ball is sent to its chest. When the high-speed vibration ball hits the dragon, a large hole opens in its chest.

　The Iron Dragon stood its ground. Alisa activated "Jet Blit" and slammed a D-particle jet bullet into the hole in the dragon's chest.

　The plasma burned the dragon's internal organs and tore it apart. The huge body collapses and disappears with a resounding crash.
