Chapter 95

"Yo, we're here. We've arrived, Tenji," said Fuyuki as he carried Tenji gently on his warm and broad back. They had been walking for about an hour and a half

If Fuyuki put his mind to it, he could reach the edge of the field in a matter of minutes, but it seemed that he purposely walked in circles through various paths to keep Tenji from knowing the starting point.

Tenji realized this fact halfway through, and had already given up on trying to figure out the directions.

After getting off Fuyuki's back, Tenji stretched his back.

"Can I take off the blindfold now?"

"Sure. Are you tired?"

"I feel kinda strange. Being carried on someone's back like this... it's been a long time since kindergarten,"

Tenji said as he took off the blacked-out goggles for the blindfold.

The 15th level was a field with a giant mountain standing in the center. The field had various environments, such as areas with bare sand, areas with tall trees, areas that had turned into monster lairs, and areas with lakes.

At the top of the mountain was the teleportation gate, and Tenji was at the foot of a forested area.

If they went up the hill, they would naturally reach the goal, which was the teleportation gate.

"This place is a bit chilly, isn't it? It's like October in Japan. I want to wear a jacket, but I'll just get hot once we start moving," Tenji said, rubbing his arms that had goosebumps.

"Yeah, it's tough to regulate body temperature on this level. I don't really like it either," Fuyuki said.

Since both of them were slightly underdressed, they rubbed their goosebumped upper arms.

"Fuyuki-kun is my examiner?"

"Oh, you noticed after all? Initially, Professor Limey tried to be thoughtful and had planned for either me or Chigo-chan to be your examiner. But since Chigo-chan is weak in the morning, I was selected," Fuyuki said.

"I see. So if you're weak in the morning, you're exempt from being an examiner... it's pretty lax."

"Hahaha! Well, that's one of the good things about this place. However, if the students or teachers have poor grades, they will be expelled right away, so everyone has a motivation to do their best. I like it because it's an interesting scene that you don't often see in Japan."

"I don't disagree with that."

"Well, anyway, even though I'm your examiner, I'll grade you fairly without any bias. However, try not to be too flashy in your moves," Fuyuki said.

"Okay, I understand. Until I acquire the strength equivalent to that of a professional first grade explorer, I'll enjoy this secret time at a leisurely pace."

"If you understand, that's good. To be honest, I'm only told to be an examiner and I don't know what will happen. But I'm grading while hiding, so don't worry too much about it. I'll be looking for it."

"Got it. I'll fight and reach the goal at my own pace."The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

"Good luck."

The three monsters responded to the sound and stood up on two legs, as if stretching. They caught sight of George, who was blowing his whistle.

At that moment, the three Gochinentoys scattered towards different bushes, just as George predicted.

"I see, so they're waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack. With three of them... it's a surprise attack from above and below!"

As George anticipated, two Gochinentoys appeared from nearby bushes to encircle him, while the third charged at him at high speed from a tree above.

The speed was quite impressive, even among fourth-grade monsters, but it was no match for George.

"...'Grid Spiral'!"

George had equipped himself with glove-shaped weapons that he could wear from his fingertips to the first knuckle, similar to Fukuyama, a second-grade explorer of the Chariot. The emerald-colored weapons were reminiscent of beautiful functional beauty.

He held both hands, which were clad in these beautiful weapons, near his belly button, as if holding rice balls.

With a loud noise, green grid lines appeared in both of his hands.

"Gonei!?"

"Gone!?"

"Gonei!?"

At that moment...

Green lattice-shaped attacks were powerfully unleashed around George.

When he realized it, the bodies of the three Gochinentoys were brutally torn apart, not just chopped up, but even the details of their bodies were engraved with grid cubes, causing a huge splash of blood.

It was truly an overwhelming blow.

Even though it was a surprise attack, such a feeble attack was easily defeated with a powerful blow.

George's fighting style was truly the conventional way of a first-grade explorer.

Most of them could be handled with brute force... No, they would be.

[This is amazing... This is the power of an attack skill that is released with the intent to kill, from a first-grade calling.]

Tenji had never seen a first-grade straightforward attack skill before.

Although he was someone whom Tenji last wanted to meet in his class, seeing George's attack power with his own eyes was a treat.

Tenji grinned mischievously in the shadows of the trees.

"WHO'S THERE!!!?"

At that moment, George sensed the presence of someone.
