…
「Well then, what should we talk about today?」
「Wilf-sama! What about battling strategy?」
「Ho ho, strategy, is it? That should be fine.」
Charlotte suggested so. Meanwhile, apart from taking the cla.s.s seriously, I was thinking about something else.
I leveled up again with today’s attendance, and raising Dragon to Level 7.
This makes the Total Level 14.
More than anything, the Dragon’s Level caught up with the Ninja’s, both now having the same level.
Based on their impressions, the Dragon is overwhelmingly stronger than the Ninja.
Although Dragon is definitely stronger at this stage, there are subtle differences in their courses of action.
Dragon skills are more of direct attacks, while Ninja skills are more of support.
That said, I wonder what other Jobs are like.
After the cla.s.s was over, the three of us, Claire, Charlotte, and I, went to Gordon’s guild.
「Senpai, please!」
Charlotte, who acted like an underling of mine, opened the door and guides me in. Though it embara.s.sed me a little, it doesn’t feel bad.
The receptionist was behind the counter as usual.
More than that, it seems several people were there.
They’re all armed and are divided into groups.
Though we gathered attention as we entered, everyone burst out laughing immediately.
「What the heck is that.」
「Aren’t they just children?」
「Even if it’s for an educational trip, ain’t that a bit too early?」
Such conversations could be heard.
Claire was unnerved, and Charlotte, with a flushed face, trembled.
I took the two with me to the counter and spoke to the receptionist.
「Um, what is this?」
「The usual guys……though even if I say that, you probably don’t know. We cooperate with Raymond-san; we help escort all the products to be sold while he travels from bases to bases.」
「Raymond?」
「You don’t know? He’s one of the best merchants around here.」
「Haa…」
I did not know that.
In other words, something like a long distance truck? If so, then why do they need guards?
「It’s because bandits and monsters may appear along the way.」
The receptionist notices my doubt and answered.
Is that so.
「This time, it’s a very important shipment from Raymond-san, and since the reward is also expensive, we encourage people to sign up for the trip.」
I thought about it a little, and said.
「That, may we also partic.i.p.ate in it?」
「Callus-kun?」
「Senpai?」
The two were surprised.
I am a little interested in it, and the money you can earn is attractive.
「That’s fine, but this is a job that does not allocate you to the registered groups.」
「It’s fine.」
「What about your Levels?」
The receptionist looked at us, especially at Claire.
「The Total Level of the members, I can’t accept if it’s 20 or lower.」
Why 20? I thought for a moment. For individual registrations, the minimum Total Level required was 10, while for group registrations with at least 2 members, the minimum Total Level required was 20, was what I thought.
Let’s see, mine is 14, Charlotte’s is 7, while Claire’s is 2.
A total of 23. Yup, it’s enough.
「It’s 23.」
「Then, here. Please write the name of the party, name of the members, and the total level.」
「Name of party?」
「Yes. It is asked when there is a job for parties.
If you can’t think of anything, you can put your companions name on it.
You may change it later.」
I see.
But what should be our party name?
I turned around and looked at Charlotte and Claire.
「Is “Cla.s.sroom of the Wise Man” okay?」
I asked the two people for the name that somehow came out.
I put in the common point of us three, if it’s okay for now.
While Claire nodded normally, Charlotte nodded to the point where her neck seemed to break off.
We left Gordon, and walked on the road leading to the next city.
There was a total of five horse-drawn carriages loaded with luggage. Armed adventurers surround it.
Among them was us.
「Cla.s.sroom of the Wise Man…」
While walking, Charlotte could be seen with sparkling eyes. She seemed to like it that much.
「You guys, I’ll guide you to Wilf-sama‘s place.」
「Yes! Thank you very much! Senpai!」
Charlotte is too pa.s.sionate.
「Ou, boy.」
I heard a voice beside me.
It was an armor wearing middle-aged man of around 30.
「What is it?」
「You, how high is your Level?」
「What?」
「It looks like you had recently just become a grown-up, and it doesn’t look like you have a high level either. 」
Well, normally so.
「I’m a Warrior, Level 16.」
「Hee…」
Claire, though she is only at Level 1, has the same job with the guy. Claire seemed to redden up.
「You, how about you?」
「Well, mine is not yet that much…」
Even if the two were to be combined, it is still just 14.
「Isn’t it normal, you idiot. It was already difficult enough just to get to Level 16.」
「Now, now, Robert. He’s still a kid. It’s useless trying to teach him about the difficulties of raising a level.」
Another man mixed in the conversation.
Presumably around 20 years old, he’s quite the ikemen.
He looks like an ikemen, but also the the type that makes you feel sick when you look at him.
「Patrick.」
「Even if you leave him alone, he’ll soon notice the severity of the world. Also, the importance of effort.」
「No difference, huh.」
After speaking out the things they want to say, they soon returned to their peers.
Wait, what did they want to say?
Uh……hard work is important?
……un, that’s right.
As we went along with the group, it turned noisy all of a sudden.
「Enemy! Pincer attack from the front and back!」
Though I’m feeling nervous, Claire and Charlotte are together with me.
However, other people were different.
「Hi~ya, did they finally come out?」
「We’ve been waiting.」
「I’ll beat those guys and get a bonus reward.」
It seems that there is a remuneration for every enemy defeated. I see. So that’s where all the tension came from.
「Callus-kun, what are you going to do?」
It seems Claire is scared.
「Let’s fight for the time being. I’ll be ahead, protecting yourselves is your top priority.」
I did not know the strength of the enemy, so I thought this would be better.
「Okay!」
「Understood!」
Battles began all around.
I stood behind the ranks.
What I saw there, was a man manipulating monsters.
There were multiple men wearing masks covering the half of the face, manipulating will-o-wisps, ice crystals, light spheres and dark lumps at wills.
An elemental of four attributes? What a monster.
Though I’m worried, I fought for the meantime.
Because I don’t know their strength, I let out Flame Breath.
The flame swallows up the monsters.
After the flames disappeared, only the will-o-wisps remained.
「Claire! Charlotte!」
「Un!」
「Hai!」
The two sprang towards the will-o-wisps and delivered the finishing blow.
Towards the next monster group, I let out a Photon Breath this time.
Then, only the light spheres remained.
Before I called, Claire gave the finishing blow.
The Dragon’s Skills suffice for offense. However, probably because of the attribute, only monsters with identical attribute remained.
Because we can divide the experience values to Claire an Charlotte, it’s not a problem.
When I wiped out a monster, the half-masked man groaned.
「Ku! Flare, Aquari, Will, Dakar!」
When the man shouted out, the monsters from before came out.
It seems like a summoning.
The monsters were defeated the same way, while cooperating with Claire and Charlotte.
It is troublesome if they were summoned again, so I knocked out the man with Flame Breath.
He was not that strong. But if I can get additional rewards from this, then I have nothing to say.
「Ca, Callus-kun!」
「Senpai! We’re surrounded!」
「Eh?」
I heard the two panicking voices.
I looked around and was surprised.
The escorts who had guarded the ranks were unexpectedly knocked down, as everyone fell on the ground and groaned.
The others summoners switched their attention to us and surrounded us.
「You’re next.」
One of the summoners said so.
If you look at the situation, it is exactly so.
That said……aren’t the guys from the guild a bit too weak?
Suddenly, Rob and the disgusting ikemen Patrick came into view.
They fell to the ground, crawling, and trying to escape.
……Oi, oi.
「Do it!」
At the enemy’s signal, monsters attacked all at once from all directions.
Though I don’t feel like I’m in a pinch at all.
I hold my breath, and opened my mouth.
「GUOOOOOOOO!」
The Dragon’s Roar trembles the earth.
The monsters, the summoners, too……Rob and Patrick also.
Everyone has stopped moving. Only I, Claire and Charlotte can move.
Afterwards, just like usual, I burned the remaining guy.
