Chapter 200.1 - Result of Exploration
The hunting team led by Shimokawa advanced without a hitch.
One man and two women, although the balance of the party seemed to be off, Julia was actually in a friendly relationship with Shimokawa. Randous and Higuchis groups were getting along really well with each other.
And though Natsukawa Minami had no prior friendship with the two, she possessed a bright and friendly persona and could get along with just about anyone. The level of her friendliness was so amazing that even Yokomichi with his harsh attitude couldnt get angry at her.
Shimokawa-sa~n, where are we~?
U~hn, this area seems to be pretty deserte~d.
The Thief Minami, who couldnt use her scouting ability in Soumas party exhibited her full potential on this occasion, could find hidden games and detect enemy presence with her sharp intuition and presence detection.
Even after a while of walking in the forest resembling the jungle of jungle tower area, they had yet to find their main target.
But ma~n, having an Arachne following is really nerve-wracking after a~ll.
Kishishi.
The one who sounded the grumbling-like hiss from behind Julia was Arachne Rem. Arachne Rem was accompanying the hunting team as their baggage carrier, and despite knowing very well that she was on their side, Julia who had yet to get used to Rem, was still nervous.
Eh, whats the matter Nonomiya, are you scared of spider?
Not actually. Oh thats not the point, what I mean is, this fella is the same one who kidnapped Momokawa back then, thats why I cant help but feel anxious.
When Kotaro got kidnapped by Arachne in the underground lake area, the one who received the utmost shock was definitely Ryoko, however, Julia and Maria were pretty shocked too. That moment was the moment they realized just how terrifying a wild monster was, they would use a moment of carelessness to catch their prey.
Perhaps her first impression of Arachne was the reason Julia was uncomfortable.
Rather, the victim of that case himself went and made the very same monster as his ally, he must have the nerve of steel.
Were talking about Momokawa after all.
Shimokawas impression of Momokawa was a realist through and through who would work everyone-including his own parents and himself- to the bone. The man called Momokawa Kotaro could even force the most useless piece of trash teammate-namely Reina-to work properly.
You two, stop.
The two stopped and raised their vigilance the moment they heard Minamis voice.
Though the two looked like normal high school students when they were chatting a while ago, it didnt change the fact that theyre veteran warriors who survived the harsh baptism of the dungeon until now. They could easily enter combat mode at a moments notice.
This presence Seems to be goma.
Seriously, you really can find them everywhere in this dungeon, huh.
Shimokawa thought that the only humanoid monster in this beach area was jira, but it turned out there was a goma living deep in the forest too.
What shall we do?
We can ignore them but Things will get dicey if the other party is loitering inside the forest.
Exterminate them, should we?
Yeah. But lets go back if there are too many govus.
They decided to exterminate the group of gomas they encountered.
LickTH-THIS MUST BE!?

Before sunset, both the hunting team and the exploration team returned safely to the academy tower.
Thank you for the hard work everyone~
Despite that, no one seemed to be tired. Since the main objective was foraging, the mental pressure was much lighter than capturing the area.
Though you enjoyed the bath ahead of everyone else, your real job is about to begin, Takanashi.
Well then, everyone, show me the results of todays exploration.
Uuh Kotori wants to bathe too
No cant, you have to wait until we are done with our job.
This was high time to confirm the monster material brought back by Rems who had gone with each team. Lets start with Souma-kuns team first.
Werewolf Knight Werewolf clad in armour. Maybe because they are originally a high-ranking knight wearing high-quality armour.
Bloody Giant Axe The great axe used by the werewolfs knight. The blade is covered in rust since it is smeared with too much blood but is an extremely high-quality weapon. It is enchanted with some sort of magic.
Rusted Sword The sword used by the werewolf knight, is enchanted with magic too.
Degraded PotionDegraded version of the potion made by the werewolf, the effect is negligible.
Bracelet of Strength A bracelet enchanted with reinforcement magic, Force Boost.
In addition to those weapons, we also got various magic stones as the result of the first teams exploration.
Though theres nothing to say about its quality, the weapon is enchanted and the quality of the degraded potion is not a bad harvest.
As expected of Hero, hm. Upon a closer look, the condition of the corpse of the werewolf knight was really good, there was no scratch on its armour, and was killed in one strike. The reason they had brought the corpses back was that their condition was really good.
Could it be that the reason the condition of the corpses was so good was that Souma-kun soloed them? Cmon dude, we cant afford to let the hero die!
Well, lets move on to the second exploration team led by Class Rep.
