Chapter 14 (1/2)

…

After the cla.s.s ended, my Total Level went up to 23, and I went back to the castle.

It is a castle where I will live so from now on, so I’d like to expand variously and arrange facilities.

For that, I wanted to summarize what I wanted to do and what I needed.

That’s what I thought, but there was an unthinkable sight right before my eyes as soon as I came back.

Even though I just woke up in the morning and went to the old man’s cla.s.s for only a few hours, the inside of the castle was teeming with monsters.

Starting with the frequently-seen pillings, then slime mollusks, zombie crows with a protruding eyeball, and huge frog that squirts fire from its mouth somehow.

A lot of monsters were overflowing from the castle.

If you describe it in one word ー pandemonium, it’s that sort of feeling.

Seriously, for only a couple of hours……I’ve only been away for the morning cla.s.ses.

Nevertheless, I wonder how this happened.

「Kaa, kaa!」 (Zombie Crow)

「Punyuyiii!」 (Frog?)

The monsters noticed me and attacked.

I’ll think about it later, let’s get rid of these guys first.

I used the Flame Breath I and burned the first group.

There were the improved skills, but since it was sufficient enough for firepower, I used it.

I burn the monsters that attack one after another.

The numbers were great, but they were no threat at all.

While 「cleaning」 them out, I was thinking about something else.

At today’s attendance, the Total Level was 23, and Dragon leveled up to Level 16.

I learned a skill called 「True・Freeze Breath」.

Then I noticed something.

Seven different kinds of skill were learned at the current Dragon’s Level right now.

The skills I learned from Level 1 to 7 had evolved to 「2」 from Level 8 to 14.

At Level 15, I learned 「True・Flame Breath」, while Level 16 was 「True・Freeze Breath」.

If the pattern will continue as before, these 「True」 skills will continue until Level 21.

At the same time, it is possible that the Dragon’s Level will stop at Level 21.

Every time I attend the old man’s cla.s.s, my Level goes up.

I heard from the old man that the Level will not rise anymore when the counter is reached, so I need to prepare other Jobs that I could raise.

There is the Ninja that hasn’t been leveled up yet, but I’d like to prepare several different Jobs in order to not waste the attendance.

……in the worst case, a warrior.

Claire, after a continuous hunting of pillings using a stick, obtained the Warrior Job.

However, I have other things I want.

I should not forget about this matter.

I was wiping out the monsters while I thought of such.

Although it’s 「enjoyable」 if it was together with Claire and Charlotte, fighting alone seems to be more comfortable.

With this, I can beat them without being so reserved.

Well, even if I say so, I’m firing a suppressed Flame Breath I.

「You there, human-san.」 (???)

I heard a woman’s voice.

It seems to be the whispering-type of girl.

As I turned around, I could see a small figure at the entrance of the castle.

Although she had a small figure that was hidden by a full-bodied cloak, she had a mace-like weapon which seemed to be three times her size.

「What is it?」 (Callus)

「Human-san, are you the owner here?」 (Mysterious Girl)

「Un? Ah, that’s right.」 (Callus)

Particularly, this was a castle without an owner, but since Anette said that people who had the power can claim it, there was no problem in me using it.

What could have happened?

「Then, I don’t need to hesitate.」 (Mysterious Woman)

She uttered quietly ー then she began to attack!

The large mace was heavily swung with great force, so I retreated in a moment.

「Uo!」 (Callus)

I hurried away.

I avoided the large mace which subsequently hit the ground.

A light explosion shook the ground, throwing up dust.

「You dodged? But, not yet.」 (Mysterious Woman)
