"Sure...." (Kenshin)
Kenshin complied to his abrupt request.

After seeing the window displaying his stats, he stood with his eyes closed, thinking deeply about something
'Engineer?! Since when did he gain that class? Level 7, that's impossible! I've heard that when an engineer reaches level 5, they at least had graduated from a three year engineering course. How did he reach that level so quickly? His stats are....With the exception of some of them, it's quite mediocre befitting a commoner. Is he just good at fighting? Was that a fluke? Those wolves were something I nearly died from even though it was only one that attacked me. So, how did this guy take on nearly a dozen of them?! Calm your ass Mark! Think!'

"Mark-san what's this about?"(Kenshin)
"I just need to make sure of something" (Mark)
"Okay...." (Kenshin)

'What, no combat magic?! Then how did-'
His contemplating was interrupted by Kenshin.
"Mark-san, Jen need's to be looked at by a cleric. Please have Matsuoka-san see her for any infections. I will report to the commander" (Kenshin)
"Ahh. That's right, sorry for spacing out like that" (Mark)

Jen got treated by the party cleric, Ami, and Mark got a questioning look from the Captain thinking if he hit his head when he told them that the weak Kenshin supposedly defeated those black wolves.
In those two months before, he did not just idle about.
When he was told he only needed to attend their mandatory lessons, Kenshin used his free time to prepare for fighting.
He knew of his lack of physical ability and fighting sense, so he read up on books and consulted with martial artist, adventurers and soldiers to pile up his knowledge of fighting.
Kenshin also used his knowledge on martial arts from earth.
From his connections he was able to learn basics of some crafting skills and basic adventurer know how to be self sufficient.
In this world, magic skills were activated by the help of the 'skill system' that every conscious being had. It was theorized by the researchers of this world as being a sort of second sub-consciousness. Skill were either gained by being born with it or learning it. For example, monsters like Man-bats that were man sized bats that could fly had the 'Echolocation' skill that they were born with. It was separate from naturally physical traits like infra red vision that occurred in Man- bats. Of course, you could get the magic variant of infra red vision in humans.
All the things Kenshin showed when fighting the giant black wolves were not from the aid of the system, nor was it sub-consciously calculated moves, it was all consciously calculated ones: Judging the timing, space between the enemy, what would be most effective against this size of enemy, timing ones breath, how to quickly end the battle, what risks there are and etc
Masters of martial arts or those beyond simple mastery would have done all of this sub-consciously as some have trained themselves in mountains.

Dungeon, 55th floor
Its been a day since they went beyond the 50th floor and onto the unexplored parts of the Palami Dungeon.
Without any changes in their formations, they worked their way through old and new monsters. One new creature was the Poison Trents that were tree like creatures using vines that were covered in poisonous spikes. They were slow but were strong and it took the class 5 minutes to kill one when around ten seconds of fighting was neede for monsters they defeated up to this point.
In a way, it was a sort of mid boss.
Other monsters tried attacking the vanguard but the mid guard, that were mostly ranged classes, took the role of covering them.
"Razor wind!"(Hachiro)
Using 'Razor wind', Hachiro's arm emitted a pale blue light that expanded to his sword.
After that, air formed into a torrent of wind along the edge of his blade and then swung his sword in a downward strike.
In that moment, the pale blue light was gone and the torrent of air shot off from the sword and finished off a Skeleton Knight in front of him.
What was left was the body of an armored skeleton who's bones from head to toe were split apart.
Originally, the skill chant was supposed to be a four versed chant but, being a 'Hero Knight' he was given the passive skill 'Short cast' that used just the name only of the magic, 'Razor wind'. Similarly, all the summoned heroes were able to use 'Short cast' meaning they only had to shout out the system name.

"Light Weight Aura!"(Ami)
Her right arm under her blue robe produced magic emissions (pale blue light or particles), generating a torrent of pale blue, comparable to lights produced by flood lights ,it charged her right bracelet gathering mana. Then as the pale blue light disappeared, the bracelet shined brighter for a moment and disappearing right after, signifying that the skill has been finished and was sent to its way to the target. After her target's body received the magic, the target, Honoka, after contact glowed white.
"Thanks Ami! I still cant get used to the feeling of my body being light as a feather. Here I go! 'Barrage!' (Honoka)
Curling back both arms to her chest, pale blue light emitted from her arms as it traveled to both her white bracers.
After the pale blue light emission disappeared, one tenth of a second later, a hoop of red transparent light was produced from her bracers, rolling forward to her fist covering it in the same light.
A 'patatatatatata' resounded.
What lied in front of her was a mass of grey covered with a black liquid. A troll was clobbered to a unidentifiable state.
"Hey Arata, use magic to wash of the goo of my arms." (Honoka)

'That is some period of hers'
"Water Fountain!"(Arata)
Holding a wooden staff with a rainbow colored gem at the tip, his arms emitted particles that dissipated, then the next moment, navy blue light was given off from the rainbow colored gem. Around it, the air current around converged in front of it while taking in the moisture.
Gathered air turned to mist then sprinkles of water shot off to the direction of Honoka.

That was how their party worked, two supports the two attackers.
"That's it for this floor. We're advancing to the next floor!"(Commander)
The platoon, with Hachiro's group leading, went towards what looked like a tunnel. It was an entrance for the next area.
Until now, they relied on the torches placed by the adventurers in the past on each floor but, as they have never been able to get to as far as here, there were no man made changes to the surroundings.
This didnt mean there were no light source at all.
Why? because on the 56th floor, the ceiling of the cavern gave off a glowing green light. the same went for its walls.
You would think it was covered in the same stuff thats made of glowsticks from Earth.
The group advanced inside the glowing tunnel.
Some thought with simple arrogance and some just wanted to admire the scenery.
