Just as Tiraiza said, “The experiment was more fun than I thought it would be,” we left the lab with tired faces.
Our next destination is the Agriculture Club.
Because Cantabridge Academy is in the middle of the capital city of the Briton Kingdom, there is no land to do agriculture.
Yufilia takes my hand and uses warp magic.
The next moment, a peaceful scenery of fields spread before my eyes.
Vast farmland that contains dozens of hectares.
About 30 people are industriously doing farmwork, but there was still left over land to be worked on.
“Ah..Yufilia-san.”
Iris noticed Yufilia, and ran over here.
After Yufilia explains why we’re here, Iris starts to give us an explanation.
“This is the Agriculture Club. We let people who want to do agriculture do it, but we’re short a few hands.”
We’re about 50 kilometers away from the royal capital. Unless you"re able to warp, you won"t be able to balance your school work with your activities.
Thus, there aren"t many members.
Plots of land can"t be prepared in the academy.
In order to prepare any sizable land, you have to go far away from the academy.
We"ll, if you"re a student of Cantabridge Academy you can come and go freely with warp magic.
If you"re going to warp anyways, distance becomes irrelevant. They expanded the land accordingly.
It seems to have turned out like this after many discussions.
“Ashtal-san, can you warp?”
“Yeah”
“Well then, please consider entering the club.”
After hearing her explanation, we returned to Cantabridge Academy.
After that, I received explanations for many clubs.
In order to get to the next destination, I am walking in the hallway.
“This is the last one.”
Saying that, Yufilia opens the door to a certain club.
The 3 were sitting on chairs and relaxing.
“N, what"s this place? (Translated)
I felt that the hero party being a.s.sembled was somewhat strange.
“This the Dungeon Club, a club that aims to conquer dungeons.”
Yufilia speaks with a smile.
“it seems like you took a long detour, but Yufi’s goal was to bring you here.”
Tiraiza sips some of her tea.
“It would have been quicker if you brought him her first.”
Jamie is shocked. I guess she was training her body like a warrior.
She’s still sweating.
“It"s not fair unless we explain everything else before we tell him about us.”
Yufilia gave a serious answer
“Because it"s something the sword club can do.”
Iris soothes Jamie.
To summarize, they wanted to invite me to this club.
“To suddenly invite…… a transfer student…...Do you have special circ.u.mstances or something? (Translated)”
After I slowly inquire them, Yufilia nods solemnly.
“There aren"t many people interested in dungeons in the first place, and of course, they need to be strong enough to not pull us down.”
Just saying you need someone on the same level of strength as the hero considerably reduces the number of candidates.
Immediately after the creation of the club, there were a flood of those who wanted to enter. Especially the guys.
Well, there are 4 different beautiful girls, all of different types.
For men being manipulated by s.e.xual desires, biting at this club couldn"t be helped.
However, everyone failed while taking the test. Apparently becoming a comrade of the hero is not an easy thing to do.
“In terms of ability, there were plenty of people we could take, but they declined, saying that dungeon were too much.”
Jamie sighs.
That"s the normal reaction.
But why are you capturing dungeons in the first place?
When someone captures a dungeon, there have been many cases where nothing happened.
On top of that, if you leave it for while, monsters start to settle down.
After defeating a dungeon, you just get the vicinity to thank you, and that"s it.
You can"t make a living off of it.
Even in an un-conquered dungeon, you"re not guaranteed to get anything.
You risk your life, go through efforts to conquer it, yet the rewards are small.
In the first place, dungeons have existed sincre before the hero, and are things that have been made by prehistoric civilizations.
As a result, the number of newly discovered dungeons have declined over time.
It was inevitable that no one took clearing dungeons as their occupation.
Being able to train oneself, and also make money. Also going on exciting adventures.
Unfortunately, the dungeons in this world have weren"t made for this.
If you want to train yourself, it"s better to work normally.
If you want money, you should work through the adventurer guild or get a regular job.
But wait.
Because humans don’t explore dungeons, no one entered my Dark Temple.
If there were people interested in exploring dungeons, who have the qualifications to enter the Dark Temple, they would enter once they hear of the legend.
It took over 1000 years for people like this to arrive.
It"s possible that by adding dungeon related mechanisms it"s possible to draw out human interest.
“How about it? Are you interested in dungeons?”
Yufilia asks timidly. I guess it’s cause they’ve been refused by everyone else. Because of that, I feel sort of weak-kneed.
“I’m interested……in dungeons.”
When I answered, Yufilia gave me a full faced smile.
“That’s great!”
“Even if he has motivation, it’s useless without strength.”
Jamie is holding the ax.
“That’s why I’ll now test your ability!”
I received her attacks many times and got covered in blood.
“Isn’t he useless?”
Tiraiza-san mutters while stuffing her face with candy.
“No wait, are you alive?”
Jamie asks me worriedly.
I can’t get killed by these attacks.
The reason I received so many attacks was to calm my heart.
It just took a while.
I didn’t think an opportunity for revenge would come so easily.
I’m different from the me of last time!
I’m fighting a woman, so of course my body won’t move. In that case, take this!
“UOOOOooo!
I focused on Jamie’s weapon, the ax.
It"s shaped like a wooden stick with a blade attached to one end.
I"m aiming at the wooden stick part of it. I headed for Jamie and hit a part of the handle.
When I attack hit, the ax broke apart.
“Geeee. My weapon is...gaaa”
Jamie is so surprised, she opened her mouth in astonishment. And after, she began to look sad.
“There is no problem in your attack’s accuracy, speed, or power.”
Yufilia was surprised.
“But why"d you only attack once, and now? If you could move like that, then there was no need to get so beaten up before.”
Iris tilted her head.
“You find these kinds of people sometimes. There"s actually quite a lot of them. Like people who are completely different during practice or actual combat, or people who have slow starts.”
Tiraiza a.n.a.lyzes while sighing and looking at the broken ax.
“Hey Till,”
“I know, I"ll fix it.”
“Thank you.”
Jamie hugs Tiraiza and shows her grat.i.tude.
It seems she"s also in charge of making and repairing weapons.
“This ax was considerably strengthened by magic so it shouldn"t have broken that easily. Naturally, the handle was also reinforced so you normally wouldn"t be able to break it with bare hands…”
“Nn? Did you say something?”
“Nothing, I just said it’s sweltering, so stop pushing those huge melons in my face.”
Tiraiza pushed Jaime away.
“So what are we going to do with him? Pa.s.s him?”
Jamie looks at Yufilia.
The leader is Yufilia, so it’s her decision.
My first movements were a minus, so I’m in trouble.
“Isn’t it fine if he just tries it out.”
Unable to let it pa.s.s unnoticed, Tiraiza gives me a chance.
“Yeah, I guess that’s fine.”
Yufilia confirms it. I bow my head.
“Please take care of me.”
Yufilia sticks out her right hand. I unconsciously took her hand and shook it.
I shook hands with everybody, and went home.
I can feel my growth. It’s nice to feel this way.
I had a feeling of satisfaction that you can’t get by training your body or leveling up.
