Vol. 3 - Chapter 200 - The training ends and the hunting time!

"We truly couldn't achieve it without splitting them up."

"Really. And the leadership skill, I didn't expect the situation to go so awry with just the enemies getting buff, I now understood the <Battle Wolf>’s true forte lies in its group battle. Now I understood Zephyr-sama's words, we really can't let it coordinate with others.''

I was going to point them out in the evaluation meeting but the brain-cliche, Celia and Shizu had already noted their shortcomings in the last battle.

It's nice to see them exchanging opinions.

I also had discussed my views, advice and so on with lots of players from <Dungeon Activity> when I couldn't defeat an enemy or defeating it just took a hazardous amount of time. Slowly but surely, that's how I build up skills and knowledge of <Dungeon Activity>.

I guess it might just be better to leave both of them on their own. I will just give advice if I see any problematic habits.

And thus, I turn to face the remaining 3 people.

"Let's begin with Lulu"

"Yes!"

"Hmm, fine reply as ever. Have you figured out which step you took wrong in the last battle?"Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

"Yes! I think I shouldn't have jumped in right at the beginning!"

"That's right. It's nice that you have figured out your mistake on your own. Directly jumping into the opponent's camp and going on a rampage is indeed exciting and a heroic strategy. However, that's based on the premise that you know how to handle that situation and don't get yourself into a battered situation like earlier. Though, you can avoid such a scenario the more you have an understanding of your job. "

The strategy of plunging straight ahead in the enemy camp and going on rampage is called <Heroic Strategy> in <Dungeon Activity>.

This is a major tactic in simulation games, etc., where the first step is to throw a strong, tough, or agile unit into the enemy's camp and sweep away all the small fries. An impressive strategy, I say, since it can crush the boss while the main force can take it easy and even have enough strength to spare.

But, that's on the premise that the unit throwing in is overwhelmingly strong.

Lulu in the current battle wasn't able to pull off such overwhelming strength since the gap between the fighting power shortened with the buffs on the enemies. There's also the point that Lulu is still green in terms of using skills.

It's essential in a strategy to make sure that the person is familiar with the <Heroic Strategy>

From here on, I want Lulu to learn more about her skills and also many tactics and strategies.

Known as one of the almighty jobs, this job can do much more in so many places. With all that said, <Lolita Hero>, who hasn't even reached Lv40, has a long way ahead.

As the 4th strongest job in the official top jobs ranking, her combat power can go over the charts as long as she masters her control over skills. I have to thoroughly raise the combat level of what's said to be the strongest job in the <Princess> category.

Next is Pamela.

"You were remarkable in this battle and there wasn't much problem with skill usage either, Pamela. Furthermore, that target switch in the middle was splendid. The only one who could restrain <Battle Wolf> at that moment was only Pamela and you did a good job. I can say it wouldn't have been such a smooth sail without your help"

"Really-desu!? Yayy-desu!"

"Try to use more skills later. I can see you still can't bring many skills to their true potential."

"Eek, that's right-desu. I still am not familiar with them."

Pamela, till now was in charge of protection from the shadow, and she has quite potential in this regard.

"I shouldn't hinder them"

Huh, what did she mean?

"We are done, Zephyr onii-sama! Lulu also helped, you know!"

"A, Ahh. Lulu is amazing."

The preparation was over while I was puzzled over the mysterious reply in my head as Lulu came to inform me, bouncing and leaping like a bunny. How should I say, her antics make an awfully soothing sight.

Lunch was stew, which Shizu had prepared beforehand. The taste was superb too when eating with white bread.

"Shizu's craftsmanship is excellent."

"Fufu, I'm quite confident when it comes to cooking."

Wow, it's a rare sight for Shizu to actually boast about herself.

But she does have every point to feel proud about it. As the stew is mouth-melting delicious! Could this be the real power of a maid!?

I couldn't stop my hands from moving and it was finished in jiffy.

I wonder if she will make it again if I requested it?

The lunch time was over amidst my wistful thinking and we entered to resume the boss grind. It's always nice to exercise after eating.

"Shall we begin the round with an initial strategy?"

I nodded at Shizu's question.

"Yes. The goal is already achieved. Now I want you to go all out to achieve our today's goal, Lv30"

Battle with the <Battle Wolf> using <Leadership> skill certainly becomes a good practice partner but that being said, it takes time to defeat it. There's no way to reach today's goal at this pace.

"Understood", said Shizu and just then, Celia raised her voice looking at the entrance of the 14th floor.

"Ohh, the carriage, Ester seems to have returned"

"Hmm?"

I turned to look and saw <Mechanical carriage>, now <Thunder Javelin> coming here. So, It's already time for the shift huh.

"Zephyr-dono, thank you for waiting."

"It's fine, we just finished our Lunch. So I didn't wait. Rather, thanks for your help, Ester. "It is helpful to us."

Actually, I was supposed to meet up at Rika and Karua's party. So, Ester was planning to take over my position by looking over them.

From the battles so far, all 5 of the new members have also become quite good at fighting, and it doesn't seem a lack of healers would cause them any trouble either.

That's why I was supposed to return one step earlier.
