Episode 70 'Thunder Bowl' quick shot

I spent the whole day on the sandy beach improving the magic of 'Catapult', and in the evening I returned to my apartment.

"Haah, it wasn't finished after all."

My body was covered in sand, so I took a shower to refresh myself.

'Catapult' had difficult problems such as adjusting acceleration, controlling it during movement, and controlling it just before the magic was canceled. It looked like I needed some time.

The next day, I headed to the Suigetsu Dungeon. Personally, I wanted to perfect the magic of 'Catapult', but I was aware that I lacked experience in actual combat, so I didn't want to break the habit of diving into dungeons every other day.

When I passed in front of a real estate agency, I saw one property. A detached house built by an adventurer near the Suigetsu Dungeon.

The detached house had a dojo that was soundproofed. The house itself was ordinary, but I liked the dojo.

When exploring dungeons, I sometimes felt that my physical strength was lacking. My body didn't move as expected. However, since I had no experience in martial arts, I didn't even know how to practice.

By the way, there were no martial arts for fighting monsters. But, I thought I needed to start doing something about my physique. The question was what to start with.

However, no matter what I started, I needed a place to practice. That's why I was interested in a house with a dojo.

Looking at the price, it was about 80 million Yen. It wasn't an amount I couldn't earn as an adventurer.

"When it comes to places where you can earn that much money, it's the Orc Castle."

It was a dangerous place. However, if you know the movements of the OrcKnights and established a strategy to defeat them, I might be able to reach the treasure chest of the Orc Castle.

I arrived at the Suigetsu Dungeon, changed clothes and entered the dungeon.

I ran through the shortest route to the 12th floor and came to a place where I could see the forest and the castle towering over the hill. I cautiously entered the forest.

There were only OrcKnights in this forest. The OrcKnight was equipped with metal armor, so it was almost impossible to be surprised. Because the armor made a sound when the OrcKnight moved.

Today, I encountered an OrcKnight for the first time. I tried using 'Thunder Bowl'. The moment the TripleThunderBowl hit the OrcKnight, there was a crack and sparks flew.

Unexpectedly, the OrcKnight collapsed. It wasn't like it was killed because of that, but it seemed it was temporarily incapacitated. I counted the seconds until the OrcKnight moved again.

It started moving again in four seconds. Enough time to finish it off. I hit it with a TripleThunderBowl again and slammed a QuintBlade into the OrcKnight's neck when it fell.

OrcKnight was supposed to be a formidable foe, but I was able to easily defeat it. OrcKnight's weak point might be electrical attacks. After that, I tried TripleThunderBowl on the OrcKnights I encountered, but all the OrcKnights were temporarily immobilized and finished off with QuintBlade.

Also, it turned out that if it was QuintThunderBowl, it would faint for a while. If I was surrounded by a large number of OrcKnights, I should scatter QuintThunderBowls. To do that, I needed to be able to shoot the QuintThunderBowl quickly.

When I was thinking about such things, I ended up encountering a large number of OrcKnights. I quickly activated 'Sensing Zone' and 'Auto Shield'.

There were five OrcKnights, a number that I would have retreated from previously. But now that I knew 'Thunder Bowl' worked, it was a manageable number.

The first one attacked me. I hit the OrcKnight with a QuintThunderBowl. At the same time as that one fainted, another one came in with a longsword slash.

It was impossible to quickly shoot a QuintThunderBowl that I wasn't used to. I pushed it away with a QuintPush. Two OrcKnights slashed at me, one from each side. The D-Particle Shield caught it.

I hit the OrcKnight on the right side with a QuintThunderBowl and unleashed a QuintPush on the left side. The last one was circling behind.

That OrcKnight held its longsword at its side and attacked me by thrusting it at me. I noticed that with the movement of the D-Particles, and fired a QuintPush behind me while facing forward.

The OrcKnight, that was knocked down by the QuintPush, got up and attacked. I shot a QuintThunderBowl to stun it.

I stunned the OrcKnights that attacked one after another with a QuintThunderBowl. After there were no standing OrcKnights left, I finished them off with QuintBlade.

After picking up the magic stones, I wiped the gushing sweat with a towel.

"It's troublesome if I can't shoot quickly. I should practice."

I explored the forest and targeted the OrcKnights I encountered with quick shots.

The week was spent learning how to quickly shoot the QuintThunderBowl. Thanks to that, I mastered the quick shot of the QuintThunderBowl.

On the day I mastered it, it was night when I returned to the surface from the Suigetsu Dungeon. I changed clothes and went to the Adventurer's Guild. When I exchanged the magic stones for cash at the reception, it turned out to be a considerable amount of money.

The OrcKnight dropped green magic stone , but its purchase price was relatively high.

"Grimm-sensei, are you returning from the dungeon?"

I was asked by Kurumi, the journalist from a weekly magazine. The interview seemed to have ended. The interviewee was said to be the C-class adventurer named Ishibashi Ren, an Attack Wizard.

"Hee, a C-class adventurer, that's amazing. Where are they attacking?"

"It seems they're attacking the 32nd floor of the Suigetsu Dungeon. They defeated the Mid-Boss FireDrake, so they're really strong."

"That guy is amazing. How can he defeat the FireDrake."

"His magic level is said to be '16'."

It's amazing. The magic level of my Life Magic was '11', but even after defeating so many OrcKnights, it didn't go up at all.

The higher you go, the more difficult it became to raise your magic level.

"He is. This time, he decided to start managing a Battalion."

Kurumi said.

Battalion is a word that originally means 'Battalion'. However, when an adventurer says a Battalion, it means a group of adventurers who have formed a cooperative relationship. In this case, it seems that adventurers who use the same type of magic will gather, such as an Attack Wizard Battalion or a Muscle Wizard Battalion.(TN:Battalion here is Engrish, while the 'Battalion' is the Japanese word 'Daitai' which means battalion.)

"That's nice. If there were something like a Life Wizard Battalion I would enter."

When I complained, Kurumi laughed.

"Grimm-sensei should establish a Battalion for Life Wizards."

"I heard that it takes around 100 million Yen a year to run a Battalion. I think that's a bit unreasonable, isn't it?”
