From the Skills List, I try searching for a magic that can be used like levitation but I don’t really know. Is it spatial magic? Something like teleport would be really convenient, but presently I’m loitering in this single town so it’s not so useful. It’s possible it could be used to escape from battle, however useful spells have a long casting time. As expected do I need to ask someone?

I pick out several useful Skills.

High Speed Casting, MP Consumption Reduction, Magic Power Increase, MP Recovery Up, all cost 5 Points. If compared they are all powerful, but at the present I don’t have the room to be willingly spending all my skill points to that extent. It’s better to get High Speed Casting only, however I’m not sure since I don’t know the extent of its effect at level 1. Even if it shortens casting 10% it would be useless for today’s battles.

It’s a different matter raising Fire Magic. Firepower is already enough. What’s not enough is defense. Even against a huge wild boar the firepower of a Minor Explosion is more than enough. The problem is the process that leads to that though…

Stealth is meaningless once a battle starts. Looks like it is Earth Magic for defense. It takes 14 Points to raise it to Level 4. Do I try to take Evasion Level 4? Although if I don’t try to use it I won’t know.

Could I win against that with Fencing Level 5? I have thought about raising Archery, but many arrows would get stuck to the huge wild boar, yet I don’t believe they would stop it.

I came to a conclusion from thinking it alone. In any event maybe I need to discuss it with someone? Even if I say someone, it would be the instructor or the receptionist guy though.

I leave the inn and go to the training ground but the instructor is absent, I was told he’s at the guild. I turn up at the guild and the instructor was discussing something with the a.s.sistant guild master.

“Ah, Masaru. You came at the right time.” the baldy greeted me like that. Tilika-chan was standing behind him with a vacant expression.

“What is it? I had something to discuss with the instructor.”

“I’ll hear yours later. First hear what we have to say.”

Of course I have to hear what the instructor has to say.

“In three days we’ll send an investigation team into the depths of the forest. We’ll have you go too.”

“I’ve been chosen as commander for that. We certainly want you to come.”

“That’s right. You’ll carry the baggage.”

I have a problem with the way you say it, baldy. Nevertheless it’s another request to be a baggage carrier?
