Episode 50 Evaluation of Life Wizards
The next day, I waited for my name to be called in the waiting room of the Adventurer's Guild. In front of me, many adventurers entered the Branch Chief's room when their names were called. Around noon, my name was called, so I entered the Branch Chief's office.
Branch Chief Kondou had a tired look on his face.
"You look tired?"
Branch Chief Kondou let out a sigh. He said he hadn't slept because of the commotion last night.
"I heard you were watching the battle in the Mid-Boss room. Tell me about that time."
After nodding, I talked about what happened in the Mid-Boss room.
"Okay. It's the same as everyone else. By the way, you said you defeated the GoblinKing. Don't you think it's impolite to make a joke at a time like that?"
My face had a sour look on it. Because no one was willing to believe me.
"I'm definitely the one who defeated the GoblinKing. I'm not kidding."
Kondou looked confused as he received a different answer than expected.
"If I remember correctly, you're an F-class Life Wizard. I don't think you could beat the GoblinKing, can you?"
"I'm the one who defeated it."
"Is there evidence? For example, the GoblinKing's magic stone."
I took out the black magic stone and showed it to the Branch Chief.
"Wh, what the hell ... it's a black magic stone ... but it's not certain if it's just a black magic stone. Wasn't there another boss drop?"
"You're so skeptical. This was also a boss drop."
I took out the ring and showed it. The Branch Chief called Katou from the reception. Since an acquaintance was called, I was wondering why, but it seems that Katou was an Analysis Wizard.
"Examine this ring."
After looking at my face, Katou picked up the ring. Then used 'Item Analyze' to examine the ring.
"This is a 'Ring of Double Efficiency'."
It was an Magical Equipment that would allow you to use magic with half the magical power. If it were sold, it would surely exceed 100 million Yen.
"Ugh, seriously?"
"Seriously."
The Branch Chief and Katou were using strange words.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
"Excuse me. It seems true that you defeated the GoblinKing. Could you tell me what happened at that time?"
I had no choice but to reluctantly talk about Life Magic.
"I understand that you defeated the GoblinKing using new Life Magic. Just from the story now, there were three unfamiliar Life Magics."
There were actually six, but I hadn't talked about 'Sensing Zone', 'Auto Shield', or 'High Blade' that I wanted to keep secret.(TN:Cause keeping secrets makes MCs lives so much EASIER ... oh wait ...)
"That's right."
"Are they registered with the Magic Agency?"
"Only 'Cone Arrow' is registered."
"Aren't you going to register the other two?"
I was at a loss about that matter. I think it would be better to register them in order to raise the evaluation of Life Wizards. However, since it's magic that can't be learned unless the magic is level 5, I thought that most Life Wizards wouldn't be able to learn it.
The Branch Chief nodded when I told him what I thought.
"Maybe so, but it's better to register them. People who have the same magic can also register it."
"I understand. I will."
When the talk was over and I was about to leave, the Branch Chief asked.
"Come to think of it, didn't the GoblinKing drop a Magic Bag?"
I grinned.
"It dropped it. Also about the ring, that's right, I would be happy if you could keep it a secret."
"I get it."
I didn't intend to sell the 'Ring of Double Efficiency' either. As long as I continued to be an adventurer, the benefits of this ring were great, and I wanted to use it myself.
When I came out of the Branch Chief's office, Tesshin-san and Kazamatsuri were glaring at each other in the waiting room.
"Boy, are you planning on not apologizing at all?"
"I chose the Escape Ball to protect my teammates. I don't think I made the wrong decision."
It wasn't the wrong decision. Yeah, I think so too. However, he lacked the imagination of what would happen after using the Escape Ball. And it's also a problem that he doesn't realize that he caused trouble for everyone.
Tesshin-san's name was called and he went to the Branch Chief's office, so I approached Kazamatsuri who was alone.
"Kazamatsuri-kun, you've caused a lot of trouble for everyone. You should at least apologize even if it's just words. Is it because your pride won't allow you to do that?"
Kazamatsuri glared at me.
"Shut up. You're weaker than me, so don't talk so bossy."
I thought I was being too kind to him, but I was annoyed by Kazamatsuri's attitude. Because I'm a Life Wizard, this guy thinks I'm weak.
"It's been a long time since I was weaker than you. Right now I'm stronger than you."
I even have a track record of defeating a GoblinKing. I thought I was equal, or even slightly stronger.
"Don't be stupid. Even though you're a Life Wizard."
I hate that phrase the most.
"Come with me. I'll show you the power of a Life Wizard."
I took Kazamatsuri to the training ground.
"How are you going to show me what you're capable of?"
I took him to a section in the training ground where people trained to use powerful magic. A large rock was placed there as a target.
"Can you break that rock with your magic?"
Kazamatsuri looked at the rock,
"You're kidding. To break it, you need at least the strength of a D-class adventurer."
"Watch this."
I take out my Tatakanata adn activate SeventhHighBlade towards the rock. The large V-shaped plate, which exceeded the speed of sound, cut through and destroyed the rock while wrapping itself in a shockwave. A roar resounded, and I reflected on whether I overdid it.
Kazamatsuri's body was shaking.
"You're kidding. Something even I can't break ..."
Kazamatsuri seemed to have suffered a great mental shock. His face was pale. Kazamatsuri put his own talents on his nose and looked down on his surroundings. I hope it heals.
It must be because the roar of the SeventhHighBlade resounded. People began to gather wondering what was going on, so I escaped from the Adventurer's Guild. After that, there was an uproar about who broke the rock, but Kazamatsuri didn't say it was me.
The Branch Chief didn't disclose who defeated the GoblinKing. Perhaps it's because I asked him to keep it a secret, but I wondered if it would have been better to make it public in order to improve the status of Life Wizards.
"Maybe I should make it public after gaining a little more ability."
I moved and rented an apartment near the Suigetsu Dungeon. Until the Suigetsu Dungeon was completely captured, I planned to live in that apartment and purchase various things necessary for life.
The money was from selling the black magic stone. Surprisingly the small black magic stone sold for around 3 million Yen. After moving apartments, I invited Amane and the others to a victory feast in a private room at a Chinese Restaurant.
"Congratulations, Grimm-sensei. Please show me your Magic Pouch."
Yukari immediately showed interest in the Magic Pouch. When I put my jacket in and out of the Magic Pouch, she got jealous.
Alisa smiled while eating shrimp chili.
"Why didn't you announce that you defeated the GoblinKing?"
"At first, I said I defeated the GoblinKing, but no one believed me."
"If you showed them the black magic stone and the Magic Pouch, I think they would trust you?"
"I'm a weak mage. What do you think would happen if someone like that was known to have expensive magic equipment?"
"I have an objection to calling you a weak mage, but I can understand why Grimm-sensei is worried. About two years ago, there was an incident in which an adventurer who obtained a Magic Bag was attacked."
The adventurer was injured and took three months to heal, and was robbed of his Magic Bag.
"It was a disgusting incident. The culprit hasn't been caught yet."
"Let's end that story here, it's a place to celebrate my victory. Let's have fun."
My students and I ate and drank a lot. However, there was no alcohol.
After that, an article appeared in the weekly magazine, Shibugami Dungeon. It was an article about me, a Life Wizard who was a solo adventurer, and was first place in the Mid-Boss Hunting Battle. My name was shown as 'Grimm-sensei'.
Because of that, I began to hear voices saying that Life Wizards could also do it. However, it was only in a small area called Shibugami City. In order to raise the reputation of Life Wizards nationwide, I must also be active to gain reputation nationwide.
