Episode 52 Students' success

I don't know if Alisa-tachi's luck was good or bad, but they encountered a group of Lizardmen when they were about halfway through the third floor. A group of about twelve.

"It's dangerous. Grimm, you can help too."

Tesshin frowned at the number and gave me instructions. But, I don't think it's necessary.

"It's okay. Just leave it to my students."

Alisa and the others nodded when they heard my words.

"Now, let's reduce the number first."

The three of them who used Life Magic fired QuadJavelins, while Yukari activated 'Fire Burst' and shot flame bullets.

The QuadJavelins pierced the Lizardmen, and when the Flame Bullet hit a Lizardman's chest, it exploded.

"Good job, everyone. You all achieved your quota of one enemy."

I can only support them, but that seems to have been enough.

Alisa and the others defeat the Lizardmen one after another, and Chika split the last one in half with her QuadBlade.

Seeing that, Tesshin's eyes widened in surprise.

"Haah, what was that? The sword didn't even touch it, but it was cut in half."

Alisa and the others, who hadn't heard Tesshin's question, were jumping around with joy.

"Well done. Everyone passed. Isn't that right."

I confirmed with Tesshin.

"Well, yeah. But, first, answer my question."

Tesshin seemed to be excited.

"That's a Life Magic called 'Blade'. Something like an invisible sword to cut off monsters."

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

"'Blade'? I've never heard of that magic before. Did Grimm discover that too?"

"Well, that's right. I'm lucky when it comes to Life Magic."

"That's right. Last time, when he defeated the boss of the Skeleton Dungeon, it dropped a Life Magic Scroll."

Yukari interjected. She seemed to be in a good mood because she's happy that she passed the exam.

"Everyone, that's about enough rejoicing. Let's go back."

At my voice, they began to pick up the magic stones and we returned. Tesshin followed behind me while mumbling.

After returning to the ground and changing clothes, we headed to the Adventurer's Guild. While Alisa and the others were going through the promotion procedures, I was told that Tesshin wanted to talk to me about something, so we headed to the training grounds.

The receptionist Katou saw us and called out.

"Tesshin-san, have you finished reporting on the promotion exam?"

"Of course. It's done properly. I'll borrow the training grounds."

Katou, who tilted her head, came along.

After entering the training ground, Tesshin turned around and looked at my face.

"Grimm, can you teach me Life Magic?"

"Isn't Tesshin-san a graduate of the Academy?"

"No, I changed jobs from a carpenter."

It's rare to change jobs from a carpenter to an adventurer.

"Then, I'll have to teach you from the basics."

I explained from the basics of Life Magic.

"The Sage who named this magic 'Life Magic' seemed to have a rather sloppy personality. It's wrong to say that it's magic related to daily life, it's more correct to call it magic that manipulates D-Particles."

Tesshin agreed and nodded. Katou nodded behind him.

"Katou-san, why are you participating, is your work okay?"

"It's okay if I leave it to Maria. Could it be that I can't listen to it for free?"

"No, I'm promoting the spread of Life Magic, so I don't mind, but do you have the magic talent?"

I began to think that in order to raise the status of Life Wizards, it was necessary to spread the fact that Life Magic was useful in dungeons. For that reason, I want to spread the practical use of Life Magic to the world.

However, if I create Life Magic that I think is a real trump card, I won't teach it to anyone other than those who can be called my direct disciples. It's probably a dangerous magic, so I can't teach it unless I'm sure it's okay.

"My Life Magic's magic talent is 'D'."

Tesshin's face went blank.

"Tch, it's the same as me."

"Tesshin-san, you shouldn't click your tongue, okay?"

I thought there was going to be a fight, so I stopped them.

"That's enough quarreling, let's continue the explanation. If the magic level of Life Magic increases, you will be able to activate it multiple times."

Katou nodded.

"It's like being able to activate the same magic multiple times at the same time. I don't think it makes sense."

"That's the mistake. For example, 'Push'. Activate three of it at the same time so that the D-Particle plates overlap with each other."(TN: It's almost like everyone in this world's IQ is in the single digits.)

I showed off a single 'Push' and a TriplePush, and taught them the difference in power. Tesshin was impressed and clapped his hands when he saw the log being knocked down by the TriplePush.

"I see, this is the magic that Grimm showed in the F-class promotion exam. How many multiple activations was that?"

"It was a sevenfold activation. Life Magic calls it SeventhPush."

"I thought it was strange that the students at the Academy called you Grimm-sensei, but I see. You have enough knowledge to be called Grimm-sensei. May I call you Grimm-sensei as well?"

Katou said something that I don't know if she was joking or serious.

"Thank you. I've been stuck lately. I'll learn Life Magic and use it in battle."

Tesshin was unusually grateful. Katou looked at me.

"Speaking of which, have you registered your new Life Magic with the Magic Agency?"

"Not yet. When I thought that there would be no one to learn it, it became tiresome."

Tesshin showed interest.

"That new magic, what is it like?"

"There are two of them, but the first is the 'Blade' that I mentioned earlier, the magic that split the Lizardman in half."

"That's it. Isn't that a considerably useful magic. What's the other one."

"It's a magic called 'Javelin'. It's a magic that strengthens the range and power of the registered Life Magic called 'Cone Arrow'."

Since Tesshin didn't know about 'Cone Arrow', I shot QuintArrow at the log. Tesshin and Katou were impressed when they saw that the log had a hole and a crack. Both of them seemed to feel the presence of the QuintArrow.

That's all I taught them. That's because I thought that the four things, 'Push', 'Cone Arrow', 'Blade', and 'Javelin', would be enough to work in the shallow layers of an intermediate dungeon.
