Episode 55 E-Class Adventurer

The examiner only knew half of what I did. Since 'Auto Shield' and 'Sensing Zone' are invisible, they shouldn't have known how I was able to grasp the movements of the group and prevent their attacks.

After defeating the pack of BlackHyenas and conquering the 10th floor, I descended to the 11th floor. The area was an abandoned city. Here you would encounter the familiar SkeletonSoldiers, Phantoms, and SkeletonKnights.

The SkeletonKnight wears scale armor and carries a spear and a circular shield. If you fight this monster with a sword or spear, you would have a hard time. Because it has high spearmanship and shield skills.

However, it was very fragile to aiming for the SkeletonKnight's skull and hitting it with a QuintPush from the side. Only the skull was blown off, and only the neck on down ran around.

However, without the skull, its movement seemed to be strange, and the SkeletonKnight stumbled along the way, searching for its skull. Its skull was chattering its teeth and calling for the neck down.

Ozaki looked at this spectacle with a surprised face.

"A SkeletonKnight with the skull blown off looks like this."

It seemed that even a D-class adventurer hadn't seen such a SkeletonKnight before.

I went to the skull where it was chattering its teeth and slashed it with a QuintBlade.

"Okay, let's go."

While driving out the undead wandering around the ruined city, I went to the stairs and went down to the 12th floor. I finally reached the target floor. After defeating OrcKnight, the exam would be passed.

It was a place with rugged terrain and thick trees. There was a castle on the hill, and a wall surrounded the hill. There might be OrcKnights at the gates, but they're definitely not alone.

I started looking for an OrcKnight that was hanging around outside the castle. After walking for a while, an OrcKnight appeared from the thicket. It seemed to be an OrcKnight that was on patrol.

"Well, now it's time for the real thing. Good luck."

"Understood. Please leave it to me."

I took my Tatakanata and stepped forwards towards the OrcKnight. At a distance of about 10 meters from the OrcKnight, I fired a QuintJavelin first.

The attack hit the OrcKnight's chest, denting its metal armor and knocking it down. The OrcKnight rolled on the ground and got up, raised its longsword and rushed over.

I released a SeventhPush. The SeventhPush that became a counterattack was intense. The OrcKnight, whose metal armor was crushed as if it was hit by a truck, flew through the air.

I rushed over and swung a QuintBlade into the OrcKnight's neck. That was the final blow, and the OrcKnight disappeared.

"When it was a Dungeon Boss, there was a boss drop, but today it's just a magic stone."

I picked up the magic stone and showed it to Ozaki.

"Well done, you passed."

Ozaki declared that I had passed. I was relieved. I was now an E-class adventurer. If I became an E-class adventurer, there would be people who would form a team with me.

I think what I lack is experience. However, I began to feel that exploring the dungeon solo was dangerous. I wanted to join a team of veteran adventurers to gain experience.

"Let's go back."

"Are we going back like this. Or are we going to stay overnight on the ninth floor?"

With the Mid-Boss of the 9th floor defeated, the Mid-Boss room on the 9th floor became a safety zone. Monster don't enter the Mid-Boss room, so the empty Mid-Boss room was the perfect place for adventurers to stay.

The Mid-Boss room on the 9th floor was especially safe because they know that it won't repop for half a year.

I decided to return to the ground right away. If we returned now, we should be able to return to the surface within the day. So we returned to the ground. It was past ten o'clock at night when we escaped from the dungeon.

"Let's report to the Adventurer's Guild tomorrow."

Ozaki said such and left. I changed my clothes and went back to my apartment and fell asleep. I was so tired.

I woke up hungry the next morning.

"Haah, I'm hungry."

There was cup noodles, so I ate them.

"E-class adventurer, huh ... sounds like a dream."

It is said that in order to live as a professional adventurer, one must be E-class. I became that E-class. I couldn't help but be happy.

I got ready to go out and headed to the Adventurer's Guild. There was only my Magic Pouch on my belt and I could go out without carrying anything. That said, the storage space of my Magic Pouch contained my equipment and weapons, and my actual Pouch contained magic stones and my wallet.

I went to the Adventurer's Guild by bus and lined up at the reception. When my turn came, I asked Katou, the receptionist about the promotion exam.

"I heard from Ozaki-san. It seems that you passed and became E-class. Congratulations."

"Thank you."

I took out my adventurer card and gave it to Katou. It was processed quickly and a new adventurer card was returned. It was E-class.

"Sakaki-san, weren't you looking for a team to join?"

"Ah, did you find a team that even a Life Wizard can join?"

"There is a team that is looking for a helper for about a month since one of the team got injured, what do you want to do?"

It's only a month, it's a little short. But, I can also learn how to fight as a team.

"If it's okay with them, I'll join."

"Understood. I'll check with the other party and contact them again. Also, don't forget to register your magic."

After nodding, I cashed in the magic stones I collected yesterday. I left the Adventurer's Guild and headed to the Magic Agency's branch. I arrived(reluctantly) at the Shibugami Branch and registered 'Javelin' and 'Blade'.

When registering magic, it is necessary to have a name for the magic, a description of the magic effect, and a magic circle. The name and effect can be understood by looking at the magic and listening to the story, but the magic circle can only be found by analyzing scrolls and the like, or by a Sage who can use the Sage System.

The person in charge was Mizusawa, a man in his thirties, who was also in charge of the previous registration of 'Cone Arrow'.

"That's amazing. To be able to discover three magics ..."

"I'm sure you're thinking that if this wasn't Life Magic, it would have been even more amazing."

Mizusawa's face stiffened. It seemed I hit the bulls-eye.

"Th, that kind of thing ... As I said before, Life Magic isn't popular. Still, there are many people who get a few magics, 'Clean' to clean things in hand, 'Repair' for restoration, and 'Pure' for purification."

Those three magics were convenient if you learn them. In that case, 'Light' and 'Ignition' would also be useful, but adventurers seem to choose small flashlights and lighters that don't require magical power.

I wonder if magic that was more closely related to everyday life would become popular? I should think about it.
