Chapter 529: The Examiner is Tough

「Haa!」

「Hmmh」

「Kuh! Sh*t! Zeeii!」

The man, provoked by Fran, thrusts his spear out in rapid succession. However, Fran could dodge all of his attacks by a hair’s breadth.

After about a minute, Fran started to put a light counterattack. She controls her attack where her opponent could still dodge it.

He could react to the attacks that came above and below, but he was not that good at responding to the strikes from the left and right. When the attack was about to hit, Fran pulled back and stopped.

The man was pissed off and kept attacking, even though it was obvious that she was holding back. This was not good. He needs to learn how to suppress his emotions. After all, it seems that he hadn’t realized how many times he had died if this was a real battle. But when Fran pointed this out to him, he became even more pissed off.

In the end, she fought him for about five minutes, until Fran landed a flying kick on the exhausted man’s head, and the match was over. It was okay, I immediately cast heal to the man who was blown away. He was unconscious, but he was unharmed.

「All right, next!」

「Y-yes!」

The girl started cautiously, probably because she had seen the man get beaten up so badly. With her spear poised at her hip, she moved in a circular motion around Fran, stepping like an out-boxer.

(Note: One of the primary boxing styles, check on Wikipedia for details)

She seemed to be looking for an opening. Immediately after that, the woman thrusts her spear into the air without missing the opening that Fran showed. It was a good thrust, intended to inflict a fatal wound from the start.

However, Fran easily dodged the thrust that should’ve hit her from behind. Well, it was an opening that Fran made on purpose after all.

After that, the woman continued to attack. And as if she was being led by Fran, all of her attacks were dodged. Gradually, she seemed to realize that she was being led by her, and she stopped taking the lure.

A look of impatience clung to her face. It seems she didn’t have any more ideas to attack.

「If that’s the case, then――」

Oh, water magic, huh? If she couldn’t use her spear, using magic was not a bad idea. However, her skill level was still too low. The bullet that was released was easily shattered by Fran’s back fist.

「The magic power was half-heartedly formulated. This will be useless in a real battle」

「Wha...」

「Well then, it’s my turn now. Here I come」

「Kuh!」

She changed to offense now. Just like against the man before, she launched a few attacks to see how she would react to defend against them.

Five minutes later. Just like the man from earlier, her consciousness was reaped when exhaustion slowed her movements.

There was no voice from the surrounding adventurers. They probably didn’t expect Fran to be that strong and the fight to be so one-sided. The F-ranked adventurers, who would have had to fight Fran next were in tears.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

However, Grandpa Gull and Grandma Jill were laughing with a look of heartfelt joy on their faces.

The second battle between Fran and the blue-faced adventurers who heard the conversation between Fran and Grandpa Gull began. And then it was over.

Yes, in about 10 seconds.

The two E-ranked adventurers, who were the leaders, were blown up and out by Fran’s first blow when she rushed at them with super high speed. After that, the adventurers fell out at the rate of one hit and two faints per second, and the match was easily settled. That was what will happen when you’re stuck without a plan.

The adventurers whose consciousnesses had been reaped were lying around Fran, who stood leisurely.

「It’s over」

「Aah―... You’re right. You’re amazing」

「Fufun」

「However...」

「Nn?」

「Maybe, these guys don’t even know what you have done to them」

Of course, huh? They had already fallen before they had realized it after all.

「I don’t think you understand your differences in power with them」

「Yeah, I’ve beaten them into pulp」

「Aah, It’s a metaphor, you know? What I meant by beating them into pulp was to break their pride! It’s not like you have to break their bones or anything, you know!?」

Grandpa Gull was telling Fran with a worried look on his face, while Grandma Jill was kicking the adventurers in the head to wake them up.

「Come on, get up! There’s still the next one!」

It looks like their suffering will continue for a little while longer.

That was too quick for them to realize what had happened, so this time they were a little more cautious and able to fight for a longer time.

The adventurers now spread out from the beginning while preparing their weapons.

They probably thought that if they froze for a moment, they would be killed instantly. But, do they think that was enough?

「Well then. Begin!」

Immediately after Grandpa Gull shouted so, Fran was already moved in front of the man on the far right.

「...I’ll be going for your torso, okay?」

「Ugh... Ghaah!」

While holding me that was still in my scabbard, she sent the guy flying to the wall. The rest was a repeat. Fran approaches any lone adventurer, calls out to them, and then strikes a blow.

It took her longer than before. But it still took about five minutes though.

「Good grief, what a bunch of idiots... It’s because they’re so afraid of being taken down altogether that they spread out randomly!」

That was right. If they were just scattered randomly, it would only have the effect of slightly extending the time it took for each of them to be defeated. They were too far apart to attack Fran from behind while their friends were attacked. So, it was no wonder Grandpa Gull was so angry.

「Get ready for the next one! Get up, quickly!」
