Episode 73 OrcKnight's weakness

Now that 'Airbag' has been completed, I can now devote all my energy to improving 'Catapult'. I worked hard on the improvement until the evening of that day, and finally complete it and register it. However, it's a provisional completion. If there are no problems after using it for a while, I can tell Alisa and the others.

The next day, I head to the Suigetsu Dungeon to train with Alisa and the others. Alisa-tachi and Karina are waiting there.

"Umm, why is Karina-sensei here?"

Alisa lowers her head with an apologetic face.

"When I told Karina-sensei that I was training with Grimm-sensei, she asked me to take her along."

Karina steps forward in front of me and bows her head.

"Thank you very much, Grimm-sensei."

Her pressure is strong. I smile bitterly and agree.

"What kind of training are we doing today?"

"Before that, I'd like to confirm with Alisa-tachi, have you learned 'Sensing Zone' and 'Auto Shield'?"

It seems that Alisa, Amane, and Chika have mastered it. Karina tilts her head.

"What is this 'Sensing Zone' and 'Auto Shield'?"

It seems that Alisa and the others were silent about 'Sensing Zone' and 'Auto Shield' even to Karina. Karina also says that she will seriously learn Life Magic, so I decide to tell her.

" 'Sensing Zone' is a magic that senses the movement of D-Particles. 'Auto Shield' is magic for defense."

"Hee, there are even such things."

I turn my gaze to Alisa and the others,

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"Today, we're going to train against a large number of monsters. The opponent is the BlackHyenas on the 10th floor."

Karina frowns when she hears that. The BlackHyena is an unpleasant opponent even for her, a veteran adventurer.

"There can be over 20 BlackHyenas when they grow into a big group. Is it okay?"

I didn't know. I always thought it was a pack of about seven. But, it doesn't matter.

"It's okay. Let's go."

We take the shortest route to the 10th floor. Alisa and the others are new to the 7th, 8th, and 9th floors, but they conquer them without any problems.

I heard that Karina has learned 'Push', 'Cone Arrow', 'Swing', 'Blade', and 'Javelin'. Her Life Magic is said to be magic level 5.

"That's fast. After learning 'Auto Shield', you'll be a full-fledged Life Wizard."

"Wait a minute, what about 'Sensing Zone'?"

"Is it necessary? I don't think it's necessary because Karina-sensei has the 'Sense Assist' magic spell."

'Sense Assist' is a magic that assist the human sense of hearing, sight, smell, and touch. I've heard that using this will dramatically improve your ability to search for enemies.

Karina asks desperately, so I decide to consider it again when her magic level reaches 8. If Karina becomes a Life Magic teacher after this, she will be able to save Alisa's juniors.

"Grimm-sensei, it's BlackHyenas."

Amane raises her voice. I confirm the number after hearing her voice. There are about 20.

Alisa, Amane, and Chika are instructed to activate 'Sensing Zone' and 'Auto Shield', while Yukari will attack with 'Crash Bullet' to reduce their numbers.

The crushing magic bullet of 'Crash Bullet' explodes in the center of the group and blows away several of them. Alisa jumps into them. Alisa's fighting style is still awkward.

Even so, with the help of the D-Particle Shield, the BlackHyenas are exterminated.

"Haa, haa, even though individually they're weak, when they gather in numbers they become a formidable enemy."

Alisa is out of breath.

Even so, by fighting packs of BlackHyenas several times, they learn how to fight while surrounded by a large number of enemies. Karina is watching intently, happily watching the D-Particle Shield repel the BlackHyena's attacks.

"You look happy. Why is that?"

I wonder, so I ask.

"If I learn this magic, it makes me happy when I think about how I can apply it to my fighting style."

In Karina's mind, she considers herself still active. Even though she's retired and become a teacher, she's still trying to get stronger.

Alisa and the others who annihilated the BlackHyenas gather around me.

"How is it, do you understand how to fight?"

"It's little by little, but I've become able to fight."

"Alright, let's go hunt OrcKnights for the last bit."

Karina panics when she hears that. It's because the third-year students were seriously injured while hunting OrcKnights.

"Grimm-sensei, isn't it too early for OrcKnights? They just became F-class adventurers."

"It's okay. OrcKnights have a weakness."

"I, is that so?"

Karina hears that OrcKnights have a weakness, and she wants to see it.

I have Alisa and the others take a rest, and only Karina and I fight to break through the ruins area on the 11th floor.

"Uwaa, there's a castle."

Yukari raises a loud voice. Amane and the others are also fascinated by the castle.

"Grimm-sensei is hunting OrcKnights here, isn't he?"

Asks Chika.

"Recently, yes. I'm thinking of looking for the treasure room in this castle."

Chika and the others make a face of understanding, but Karina makes a worried face.

"I heard that there are dozens of OrcKnights in this castle. Isn't that reckless?"

"I don't think OrcKnights are a problem. I just heard rumors that there is a monster stronger than OrcKnights, so that's a bit worrying."

Karina smiles wryly.

"I've heard rumors about it. They said it was a giant wolf. Before that, I want to know if OrcKnight really has a weakness."

"I think Attack Wizards probably know, but OrcKnights seem to be weak against electric magic."

Against the first OrcKnight I encounter, I perform a combination attack of TripleThunderBowl and QuintBlade.

Hit the QuintBlade to finish off the OrcKnight, that falls flat after being hit by the TripleThunderBowl. It is an instant kill. Alisa's eyes widen in surprise, while Karina is dumbfounded with her mouth open.
