Hiiro looks at the Red Boar once more

To fight a rank S monster, you usually have to be an adventurer of Rank S or above Otherwise the danger level would be too high However seeing his first Unique Monster only interested Hiiro further

“Old Man, what rank are you?”

“Me? I’m C, Rank C”

“Hh”

“What about you?”

“I think it was E… no I became a D”

When he last checked his Guild Card, it had shown rank D It see monsters naturally improved his rank

“C and D… It doesn’t look like we’re anywhere close to taking out an S”

“Is that so?”

Unlike Arnold, Hiiro isn’t even flustered However he still feels the hostility e from the Boar

“W-we’ll have to run We have Muir with us here”

“Whyit down”

“Don’t ask for the ier than you thi-”

Before Arnold finishes his sentence, the Red Boar begins charging It’s faster than any monster they’ve seen before In an instant, Hiiro plants a kick on Arnold’s chest, kicking him out of the Boar’s path

“Ow! damn! It’s way too fast!”

Arnold is co, but Hiiro is the opposite

(A So this is Rank S…)

The Red Boar has taken up a fighting stance Its aura is quite fore, the boar was on a set course for a large tree; however, the one that broke was the tree The Red Boar escaped with no injury

(It’s skin and tusks seee head-on, My HP would drop to 0)

If this were a game, he may have been able to stand it, but in real life a blow like that could cause instant death Hiiro scoondering which case applied to this world Whichever the case, he would like to avoid pain

“O-oy, Run away Hiiro! Muir, you too!”

Muir is shaking in fear, peeping out fro place behind some trees

The Red Boar faces us again

“Alright, I’”

“D-don’t be stupid! There’s no way you can beat that!”

“Quiet For me, there is no impossible”

“For the love of-! Where does that confidence coain!”

Arnold avoids it by ju, but Hiiro doesn’t even move

“I-idiot! Avoid it!”

The ground begins shaking, and cactus-like spikes e the Red Boar… or not

“Wha!?”

The spikes break upon contact with the Boars skin And the Charge doesn’t eve slon

“damn”

Hiiro sory at how his attack had no effect whatsoever His dodge was a second too late, and his left hand came into contact with the Red Boar The sround

“Gu-!?”

His body is taken by intense pain

“Hiro!”

Arnold calls out, but Hiiro has no spare ti the pain, he immediately stands back up However he sways unsteadily

“This bastard… You sure did quite a bit”

He glares at the Red Boar

(Perfect, there’s a character I’ve been wanting to test I’ll use it on this one)

Hiiro concentratesa character It’s hard totiun its next attack It detaches its tusks and sends theht at him

(It can even do that!?)

Hiiro ain starts running at hi

Suddenly, Arnold slas as not to fall, but as a consequence its charge is halted

“How’s that! Did you see? This is Arnold-sama’s-”

The Red Boar’s eyes glow a dangerous color as it stares at Arnold in anger

“Ah, um, that is…”

While Arnold confronts the monster, Hiiro rushes to write his word

(daers!)

But his fingers are shaking and he can’t write well This onlythat, the boar charges Arnold

“Uhyaa!”

He avoids it by taking a large leap to the side But then the flying tusks coainst the

“Guha! … A-as I thought It’s too st…”
