77 - The Brave and Adventurer Take the Test

I was going to a training camp with the members of my club.

A few days later, we arrived at the town of Kashikuzaki, southwest of King's Landing.

At the Adventurers' Guild.

"Now then, we will conduct the guild initiation test.

We're in the playground behind the building.

A muscular, armored man in his 40s tells us.

I, Camasene, a former S-class adventurer, will supervise your examinations.

"Kamaitachi Inu?　Añeue~ this guy has a funny name~"

"Watch your mouth. If you offend me, I'll have you fail the test and you won't become an adventurer.

"Why do you act so high and mighty for a small fish?"

Bikki," says Camasene, with a blue streak.

"...... I am an S-class adventurer, albeit a former one. I used to be in a party of the best in the country. You call me a small fry?"

"What's wrong with calling a small fish a small fish?　I don't like people who are all talk when they are weak.

I could feel the killing spirit.

I pat my brother-in-law on the head.

"That's enough. I'm sorry, he's just a kid. Here, are you sorry?"

"Yes, I'm sorry."

With an annoyed look on his face, Camassene sighs.

"...... You think all the examinees today are children?　The Adventurers' Guild has been taken for a fool.

He points at us and says.

"Being an adventurer is dangerous. It's a harsh world where the weak live and the strong die. Naturally, those who do not possess the minimum strength are not even qualified to become adventurers. Therefore, let us put our abilities to the test. Of course. ......"

He sniffs derisively and says, "Hmph.

"The world of adventurers is not so easy as to allow a child to pass the entrance exam. From what I've seen in a hundred battles, you guys are not going to make it.

"Aniue, is he blind?"

"Yes, yes, shut up for a minute."

I go behind my brother-in-law and put my hand over his mouth.

Mikhail closed his eyes and nuzzled my chest.

"Okay, let's start the test. Adventurers are divided into two groups: the rear guard, who mainly use magic, and the vanguard, who fight with weapons. First, you must decide which is which.

After some discussion, the party composition was as follows.

Vanguard→Me, Gaius.

Rear guard: Elise, Sakura, Mikael.

"Aniue, I want to be in the front and fight too..."

"We also have to protect the rear guard. You're good at defensive magic."

But...

Please."

"Okay, sir!　As long as it's your request!"

Thus, the roles in the party were decided.

"Now, let's see how strong the rear guard is. Aim your magic at the target, like this!

Camassene extends one hand.

Pohi.......

A fireball of elementary fire magic comes out of his right hand.

It was an unchanted spell, but it was not powerful at all.

"Phew!　What do you think, gentlemen? Unchanted magic!　That's what you'd expect from an S-rank adventurer, right?"

"""............"""

Haha!　Too awesome to even speak?　Yes, yes, chanting is a high skill, no wonder!"

Everyone was stunned, including Elise.

I'm a bit at a loss for comment on this one.

"Now, let's start with you, half-elf.

"Yes, yes, ......."

Bewildered, Elise steps forward.

"Chanting time is also a part of the evaluation score. Well, it's impossible to be chant-free, but the shorter the better.

"Wow, okay. Meteor Strike.

Elise puts her hands out in front of her and uses magic without chanting.

A huge rock appears around her.

There are ten of them.

All of them flew toward the target precisely.

Doga-ga-ga-ga!

"............"

The camasane is knocked out of its seat with a "flatten.

"Yes, that's a little bit of advanced magic ......?　And without chanting?"

Shivering, Kamasane looks at her.

"Well, at your age you can't use advanced magic, even few court mages can use it ......."

"I'll be next!"

Sakura raises her hand.

"[Thunder Blaze]"

A magic circle appears in the sky above.

A hundred lightning swords appear.

They fall over a wide area of the ground.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

"Hiieeeeeeee!"

Camasene shivers with snot running down her nose.

"Well, advanced magic again ......, what's going on ......?"

Finally, my brother-in-law Michael puts his finger in front of me.

"Ding!"

Crap!

A tremendous amount of energy is concentrated at the fingertips.

It becomes a laser of extreme thickness and shoots forward.

It is Mikhail's [Heavenly Pole].

The super-dense heat rays melt the ground into mush.

The guild was located on the outskirts of town, so there were no buildings behind it.

However, there is a huge hole in the wall that surrounds the town to protect it from demons.

"Mika, you're going to have to go easy on them."

I use my creation magic to fix the hole in the wall and the ground in an instant.

"Hahi ...... Hahi~......"

I don't know what it was about Kamasane, but he was completely out of it.

"Hey, you okay?"

I touch him on the shoulder and let his aura flow a little.

If applied, the aura will invigorate the opponent's body and have a healing effect.

"Ha!　Yes, now I'm ...... what the hell ......?"

Camasene staggers to his feet.

"Wow, what a talent ......3 to be able to use advanced magic on both of you!"

""""What ......?""""

Elise and the others turn their heads.

"I wonder if it's that great. Compared to Julius, maybe."

"The Master can use the most powerful magic without chanting. We're not there yet.

"Aniue is amazing in every way!　I'm a daphnia."

Kamasane's jaw drops as she says, "I'm sorry, but I can't help it.

"So, there are even more magic users ......!　Oh my God, I'll have to look for you later!　We must recruit them to our guild!"

"Aniue, is he blind after all?"

Somewhat.

"Well, I got the magic. Now the sword. I must warn you, I'm better with a sword!

Kamasane holds up the golden sword and makes a sputtering [futile movement].

"Well ......, have you been dazzled by my graceful sword dance?"

"I don't care, let's just get on with it."

Gaius looks annoyed for some reason.

"Brother, why are you so irritated?"

I don't care. ...... what's the use of wasting time like this, brother?"

Bikk!　Camasene's forehead is covered with a blue streak.

"Waste ......, you're a big talker. Ignorance in your youth. You've never met anyone stronger than you, have you?"

Bikk!　Gaius' forehead is streaked with blue.

"......What are you talking about?"

Gogogogogo......！！！！！

An enormous amount of magical power and fighting aura leaks out from Gaius' body.

"What pressure!　It's too much!"

"Just come on, you third-rate."

Camassene readies his sword and slashes at his brother with surprisingly slow speed.

"d*mn you!　My secret sword [Feiyan Renken]!"

Only 10 blows in a row.

Gaius avoids every one of these blows, which are too slow.

"What?　How dare you dodge my lightning-fast sword!

"Is it over?　Then I'll go with you."

"Hmph!　You're just a little quicker!　A swordsman's strength cannot be measured by his speed alone!"

Gaius takes the same stance that Camassene took.

Spapa-papa-papa-papa ......!

"Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!　That's ridiculous aaaaah!　[Fei-Yen Renken] ahhhhh!"

Gaius' slash was clearly faster than Kamasane's.

And it wasn't a ten-strike attack.

"Yes, he mimicked my secret technique perfectly at first glance. ......"　

"What?　What are you talking about?"

"That's right, that's a thousand blows."

"I'm in ......!"

I look at Gaius with a look of disbelief.

Don't be so sure!　You can't fire a thousand slashes in a second!"

Gaius moves silently to the front of the target.

Spapa-papa-papa-papa ......!

The target becomes a tiny block and makes a pile under your feet. The number is 1000.

"I can't believe ...... you're a genius ......?"

"Huh?　Are you mocking me?　This is garbage compared to your brother. d*mn!　I have to get stronger!"

Gaius comes back with an angry look on his shoulder.

Michael patted his brother on the shoulder and consoled him, saying, "You did your best, Gaius.

"Are you a bunch of freaks ...... or are you a bunch of monsters this time ......?"

""""No, no, no, no."""

Everyone shook their heads.

"What are you talking about?　He's still out there, isn't he?"

Sakura points at me.

Kamasane stands up.

"Hmmm..." she says. I see, you don't look so bad compared to the other four.

"He has bad eyesight after all. Do you want to go to an ophthalmologist?

Camassene comes up to me.

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to get serious. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to get serious. I'm not looking for a distraction."

"Yeah, well, that's okay."

No, wait a minute!""""""

Gaius and the others come to me in a panic.

"Brother!　Stop!"

You can't be serious!

"We can't afford to have any dead people in here, you know."

I say to Gaius and the others who are holding me back.

"Yeah, but you really want us to come ......?"

"That's right, come on!"

"Because. All right, here we go.

I pick up the Venomzard.

Stop it!

"Yeah."

ZBANG!!! ......!

I cut myself on the spot, diagonally.

Shhhh.......

"Ha-ha-ha. You're just pretending?　Fair enough. Now for the real stand-up: ......"

That's when it happened.

Gogogogogogo......!

"What the hell?　The ground!　It's shifting!"

Lines appear in the ground and one side sinks.

"Brother!　What did you do?

"Yeah, you just slashed this planet we're on."

The earth on the side of the amputation is sliding down.

"Hee-hee-hee!　UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Kamasane cries out in front of the sinking earth.

"Oh my God!　What the hell are you doing?　[Pseudo-creation]!"

By Gaius' magic, the severed earth is restored to its original state.

"............"

Camasene shits herself and collapses, her eyes white.

"You're too out of the ordinary, my brother. ......"

No, you're not so bad, are you?
