Chapter 18: ＶＳ Donnadorondo

Chapter 18: VS Donnadorondo

※ ※ ※

Standing in the Adventurer Guild’s training grounds, we stand face to face against our examiner. There’s a fierce sense of intimidation in the air.

If I was still a human, I have the feeling that I’d kneel on the ground and beg for my life. But as a sword, so I’m fine.

Well, let’s see what he’s made of.

Ugeーe! Strong! In terms of Status it’s our complete defeat! This old man... His physical abilities exceed that of the Lesser Wyvern! In addition to that, he has a variety of Skills at high levels. His equipment is also at a whole other level.

ATK :650 MP :3 Durability :650

Magical Power Conductivity?E+

Skills:

None

650 ATK? You’ve got to be foocking kidding me! That’s absolutely mortifying!

He’s also a member of the cool-named Race called the Kijin.

The title of the Instructor is no joke, either. All the Adventurers we’ve seen thus far don’t hold a candle to this man.

This fellow is coming at us full-force? Seriously? This is a Beginner test, right? If it was a normal beginner, I can’t think that they’d be able to do anything but lose outright......

Ah well, let’s give it a try. Even if we don’t win, we should show off our abilities at least.

『Fran, are you ready?』

However, even if he notices it, avoidance is impossible.

「The end.」

「Guggaaaah!」

The attack pierced through to Donna’s flank, sending his gigantic build flying.

*Doon!*

His body, which likely exceeded 200 kilos., was blown 10 meters away and embedded into the wall of the training grounds.

I had only used this technique against Demonic Beasts, so I suppose this would be what happens when it’s used against a humanoid opponent.

But... Perhaps we overdid it? I don’t think he’s dead, but...

「...... *Gofu*......」

Excellent, he’s alive. While vomiting large quantities of blood, Donnadorondo seemed to remain conscious.

Fran approaches slowly. Will you be using Recovery Magic? While I considered what she’d do, I was thrust before the eyes of Donna.

「Pass?」

Mhh, that was a composed decision. As for me, I had already completely forgotten about the exam.

「...... You... Pass.」

「Understood.」

This fellow... He can still move? What a sturdy guy. Even though he was pierced through the flank, to my surprise, Donnadorondo steps out of the wall and begins to laugh. Taking a quick look at his Status, his HP has already recovered to about 300, and his wound is closing, too.

「Hahahahaha! You’re the first rookie to have ever given me damage!」

His toughness is already monster-class, seriously. Does someone who can kill this man even exist?

「Donnadorondo!」

I hear a deafening roar, followed by the receptionist rushing over.

「I told you not to do anything unreasonable, so what was — Eh?」

Ahh. I see.

This old man... He’s sent out to repel any unhatched beginners, isn’t he? If that’s the case, I suppose it would be unexpected that Fran was the one who sent the other side flying.

「Eh? Ehh?」

It seems that the receptionist is quite surprised to see Donna seriously injured.

Note:

It’s essentially “Oni/Ogre Person” — but I wasn’t sure whether I should just make it “Oni/Ogre” or not, seeing as there’ll likely be a Demonic Beast of that exact Race... So, transliteration! If anyone has a better suggestion, feel free! 鬼人

Both “Playback” and “Revival” have to do with coming back from the dead. 再生 and 起死回生

The bracelet is 身代りの腕輪, which could also be “Sacrificial Bracelet” — so essentially another thing related to revival. It’d take his place if he died, essentially.

Just TRY to translate ふざけんな without cussing while staying true to the writing. I dare you.

No, this isn’t me praising my naming sense. It’s really there. 種族も鬼人とかいう、かっこいい種族だし。
