Chapter 886: Portcullis Giant Soldier ④ (1/2)

The meeting with Funf-san proceeded with a harmonious atmosphere. The conversation was lively, as Funf-san herself is a very kind person.

After Funf-san and Sieg-san talked about their training schedule, we started to chat about other things. The main topic of conversation though was about Dr. Vier, the mutual acquaintance between us three.

[Vee has always been a terrible fighter, so I was pretty nervous when I heard what happened about a thousand years ago.]

[Eh? But isn't Dr. Vier one of the peak Count-ranks?]

I'm pretty sure that Dr. Vier, being a peak Count-rank…… I assumed that she had strength on the level of a Six Kings' executive, but from the way Funf-san speaks, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Glancing towards Sieg-san, I saw that she too had a wondering expression on her face.

[Vee certainly is a peak Count-rank, but her combat ability…… or rather, her offensive ability is near the bottom-tier within the Count-ranks. After all, Vee is ”only able to use Elementary-level Magic”.]

[Is that so?]

[Unnn. Of course, her spells had power comparable to the size of magic power used in it, but even if that's so, it isn't at a level where it can properly deal damage to those of the same rank or higher. Well, that said, her Recovery and Support Magic is amazing, so I feel like Vee is only strong when she fights with someone else.]

The contents of her words were surprising, but at the same time, it was somewhat convincing. In the past, a thousand years ago, if I were told that no matter how strong Neun-san and her party were, they wouldn't be able to beat peak Count-rank opponents, thinking of the Six Kings' executives I've seen, I have to nod my head.

However, I see. If Dr. Vier was completely specialized in supporting others and had lacking offensive abilities, it would make sense how the Hero Party could fight against her.

[……In short, you're saying that Dr. Vier is a Support Specialist and not strong in battle?]

Seemingly coming to the same conclusion as me, Sieg-san asked, to which Funf-san happily smiled.

[That's what you would think, right? However, that's a big misunderstanding. Actually, there are only a handful of people in the Six Kings' camps who could beat Vee in a ”serious one-on-one fight”.]

[ [ Eh? ] ]

[Incidentally, I have no chance of winning against Vee either. If we have to fight until one of us runs out of energy, I will 100% lose.]

What does that mean? What I had imagined from what I had just heard and what Funf-san had just told me isn't matching up.

[The secret of her strength is her ”overwhelming Magic Power Recovery Speed”. Among the Six Kings, her magic power recovery speed is close to Lillywood-sama. Anyhow, she recovers magic power at an extraordinary rate, so even if she empties out of her magic power, it will be fully recovered in less than a minute.]
