Kage no Eiyuu no Nichijou-tan - 49 Fifteen Tales

The magic of the neck of the golem – the “instant blade” is an arrangement of “materialization (fiction)”.

One of the techniques for arranging magic is compression. Limiting the activation range and activation time is a way to increase the power and density of magic.

Using this technique of compression, the “instant blade” sharpened the sharpness of the blade produced in “materialization” to the extreme. The activation range – that is, the thickness of the blade is thoroughly scraped off, and the activation time is further limited to less than one second, which is only the moment when the blade is shaken.

In doing so, you can wield a blade of terrible cleavage.

But this magic also had its drawbacks.

The magic “instant blade” relinquishes its durability and persistence in order to gain sickness and sharpness.

If the angle or timing of the cutting is slightly uneven, the blade will crumble quickly.

It is therefore no exaggeration to say that this magic is specialized in ambushes and assassinations.

Special if the opponent is still.

If we can get ahead of ourselves, we’ll mostly decide on this move.

“Too Eight. Was it over yet?

After the exam and waiting near the Alliance counter, Elysia came.

“Oh…. how’d it go?

“Well, you can afford it. I moved aggressively by the doll, though I was a little surprised.”

Heh, and hammer appropriately.

I knocked it down before it moved, so I didn’t know that.

Then Gran, Mize, came this way too.

We both have no heart or a bright expression.

Safe, I passed.

“Uh, the… I managed to pass, too”

I expected Gran to pass, but honestly, Mize’s report surprised me a little.

Mize’s magic power is average for a student in a year of higher education. But as far as everyday classes were concerned, she didn’t seem to have much experience in action.

Fighting the Golem is probably what we envisage in action.

Me or Gran, who has actual combat experience, can rewind even if the magic results are scarce, but tough in Mize’s case. Inside, I thought she was the only one who could possibly fail, but apparently she was worried.

“What can I say… Mize, you passed so well”

Elisia says. Apparently, she had the same concerns as me.

I’m not sure because I haven’t fought the Golem properly, but maybe the Golem was a more troublesome enemy than I imagined.

“Uh, I could somehow prefetch the golem move…”

“Pre-reading?”

“That’s a weird story, though. Somehow, that golem… I feel like it looks familiar…”

I didn’t quite understand Mize’s explanation, and we tilted our necks.

That’s when the hero boy sets footsteps and approaches us.

“Hey, you! Did you pass!?

The hero boy grabbed my shoulder and forced me to turn towards him.

I snort as I depress the man’s arm on my shoulder.

“Oh.”

“Nah!? What do you mean? What about surveillance? Weren’t you supposed to take measures against fraud!?

A boy shouts with blue bars up his forehead.

Hearing the noise, guild master Reus-Barren came from behind the counter.

“I did some surveillance. He passed on merit.”

“So, bullshit! He’s got a Class II license.”

“I guarantee Tuate’s strength. And… I don’t really want to say this, but don’t hit people because I’m failing.”

In a word of the master, the boy student dyed his face bright red.

It’s like a picture star. We didn’t know, but apparently this boy student failed.

“… I’ll make sure to peel it off one day.”

That’s what I say. A boy student leaves the guild.

At the same time, Zeke, who accompanied the boy, was different from me.

“Sorry.”

Sieg, who apologizes briefly, heads to the Alliance’s exit with his eyes down.

I looked at Sieg’s back silently.

“Well. Then I’ll give this to the four of you who passed”

The master invited us in front of the counter and handed us something like a thin card.

It’s a Class II license for adventurers. We accept the card, made of a strange material that is shiny, to see how it feels.

“Ah… the memorial, adventurer card…… eh!

Mize makes her eyes sparkle and thrill.

The master explained bitterly that the reaction was never uncommon.

“In the future, if I show him at this counter, I can take requests as I please. Check the bulletin board in front of the counter for the type of request. Since you are a Class II license, you can also order requests regarding the legacy of the Demon King. … but adventurers have a rank”

That’s what the master said, pointing to the upper left of the card I have.

The letter “F” is inscribed there.

“It is the rank that is noted here. This rank varies depending on the track record of fulfilling the request and the competency tests we regularly perform. Some of the requests have a minimum rank set for the contractor, so if you want to work extensively, you’ve never increased your rank.”

In short, the rank can be improved by being recognized by the Alliance for strength.

You will find out more about the criteria for the specific rank later.

After hearing the explanation, the four of us talked face-to-face.

“How much, what do you do? Request, would you like to take it?

“Mize…… calm down. It’s too late today, and we’ll do it again.”

Me and Gran agreed with Elicia.

The sun is already falling. I am somewhat anxious to make my first request at night.

“I wouldn’t recommend taking the request the same day I got my license. The requests aren’t all safe, and you can come back when you’re settled…. go home with care.”

I received a kind word and we thanked the master before leaving the guild.

◆

After those four left the guild, Reus-Barren had a complex look on his face.

What I recall is the words of a male student in the family of heroes, who returned before them.

‘What do you mean! What about surveillance? Weren’t you supposed to take measures against fraud!?

I replied grandly “watched” then, but actually not.

“… I can’t really do a surveillance thing.”

“What do you mean, Master?

Hearing that whine, the receptionist tilts his neck.

Reus answered with a grudge, as he chose the words.

“For a moment…… just a few moments, the neck of the golem had been severed in a gap that kept his eyes apart. I don’t even know if there was an injustice. … even if it’s not right, if you deceived my eyes and did it in such a flash, it’s another strength.”

As the master of the Adventurer Guild, Reus has long spotted the talent of rookies. Sometimes he gave appropriate advice to newcomers who were worried about growing up, and he also rode a path consultation for newcomers who were unaware of their talents.

But only that boy named Tuate could discern at all.

“… you’re a horrible newbie”

No problem if competent. That’s the guild’s policy.

But I’m too anxious to really accept someone I don’t know.

Should we rejoice, or should we be vigilant?

Remaining in a complex mood, Reus returned to the back of the counter.
