Chapter 7: “SKILL TEST”

* * * *

“I’ve been looking for you, Guildmaster. You told me that you would come back as soon as you finish your job, but you are not coming back at all. …… Huh?”

Misha is the girl who works as a receptionist at Fiezel’s Guild, muttering to herself as she shakes her flaxen hair tied up in a side-tail gesture with a hint of fatigue. 

—- Guildmaster would have headed for the dungeon.

Misha asked around to his colleagues and finally found out where the Guild Master, Leviell, was, but he was nowhere to be found, and Misha could not hide his confusion.

On the contrary, the Arena, which was supposed to be well maintained, was dotted with several cracks all over the place. In addition to this, several traces make you think that a meteorite may have fallen on the ground, and Misha responds by rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand.

I wondered if this was a dream or something else.

Then, she said.

“If you’re looking for the guild master, he’s over there.”

Then a voice came.

It was a familiar voice for Misha.

“Miss Jorha, is that you ……?”

“Yes. It’s been half a month, right?”

A voice came from the edge of the room, and it was Jorha Eisenz.

She was one of the adventurers that Misha knew.

She pointed her finger at a place where sand and gravel were unnaturally flying up, and a cloud of dust was rising.

At times I hear the loud sound of metal clashing against steel and screams of agony.

With the sound of the wind slashing and the sparks flying, Misha finally realized what was happening.

————

However, although she realized what was going on, Misha still had no words.

You can barely make out his figure, blocked by a cloud of dust, but he is genuinely unnoticeable.

Even if it was the Guildmaster.

I wondered what the circumstances would have been for someone who was an adventurer in an S-rank party fighting a battle like this, which looked like a deadly one.

Misha could not see the enemy clearly, but it seemed that there was no difference in strength between Leviel and her attacker.

A thunderous explosion.

The sparks are flying.

The empty sound of steel was echoing through the place repeatedly, shocking Misha’s eardrums incessantly.

“What are you doing?”

I was in a daze for a few seconds.

After taking that long, Misha finally was able to ask Jorha, who was probably already familiar with the situation.

“Test your skills.”

“…… For what?”

To decide if we can make a special exception to issue the permits, Misha.

…… I see what you mean, Misha said.

Leviel offers a deal using this Guild’s underground fighting arena to make the people who are bothering you silence 、、、、 to grant the special permit.

However, this was not looking easy.

You can’t see them yet, but it’s clear that this challenger is at least two orders of magnitude different from any other adventurer.

Isn’t it enough?

The “Skill test,” which looked like a deadly competition, seemed so intense that such words were the first thing that came to mind.

“…… Are you going to stop, Jorha?”

“Now, even if I speak out, they will not hear what I have to say, and I can’t stop them. Because I’m just a magician who focuses on ‘support magic.”

You know that, Misha?

“… That’s right,” she said, as Jorha pointed out.

“……, or rather, Jorha, do you know the other person?”

“I invited you here, you know. That’s why I was away from Fiezel for the past half a month.”

Fufufu…, Jorha answers with a smile on his face.

“My name is Alec Huguette. I am a magician in the Gardana Kingdom, and until recently, I was a court magician, but I was forced to quit, so I decided to come and take this job.”

What do you think about my skills?

Misha was a little bit dumbfounded because Jorha made a smug face, but she also said that she was affirming her escape from the situation while reading the words “SODESUNE” on a stick. 

“…… That’s ridiculous, though, isn’t it? You know, this Alec is a fantastic guy. He’s the one who can do multiple deployments. ……”

Deploying magic at the same time is expected. If you can do two, it’s normal too.

Three is excellent.

If you can do four or five, you’re a Genius.

However, —-.

“Oh, you can do ten deployments at the same time. The GuildMaster who avoids it is still a monster, but I’ve never heard of someone who can do ten deployments simultaneously. ……”

“Well, They eliminated me after becoming the best graduate, so I have to do my best.”

Misha also heard the story a long time ago.

This is a story of three unusual adventurers who continue to assemble a three-member party in Fiezel, why they keep challenging the dungeons with only three people.

However, there was no outward criticism of their attitude of taking on the challenge with three members instead of four. All three members were beyond the standard that even S-rank party adventurers would recognize.

And that’s how they graduated from the magic academy at the same time.

Even in Fiezel, this news was widely known.

However, there is still a continuation of the story, and although the three are recognized as special, none of them was the best at the Magic Academy at that time.

I’m sure Leviel was impressed at the time.

———— Is he better than you when using spell deployments? ?? That’s a joke! ??

“That’s right. I lost, Ola ——– !!!!”

In a moment, Leviel’s anger sounded like a loud crack.

It was a sign of strength.

If alec’s ability were based on magic only, they would have already ended it.

However, in his case, he was also very good with his sword.

And his sword was not ordinary weaponry either.

Leviel’s attacks were continuous and launched in all directions. Its massive body was described as a giant, and its attacks would almost certainly cause fatal injuries if it hit you.

But the strike was too far.

Therefore, we had to dare to test our skills for more than a dozen minutes and only focus on the “skill test”.

“By the way, Misha, why are you looking for the Guild Master?”

Perhaps it’s because I can’t stop it myself.

However, Jorha seems unconcerned and asks Misha, who has come to the “Arena. “

“Ah! Ah! Yeah, yes! Only the Guildmaster can handle, so that’s why I came here to call you!”

I was completely distracted by the unrealistic scene in front of me.

I had forgotten why I was there.

“Only the Guildmaster?”

“Yes, sure. So, if there has been a little trouble in the Guild, the guild master was asked to handle it. —-“

—- I wanted to ask you to go and call him right now, my partner asked.

it was a command to do, and it didn’t need to be explained

The reason is simple and straightforward.

“Hey, hey, hey. You’re doing something exciting! If you’re returning, send word that you’re back. Hey, Jorha.”

“…… Oh, no. The troublemaker has found me.”

Misha’s words were interrupted by another person who had entered the Arena.

The name of the man who is talking so happily and joyfully is Ornest.

He was the one who gave Misha the reason to come to the Arena, and he was the one who suggested that they go to pick up Alec.
