Chapter 17 - Volume 1 (2/2)

So I moved around faster by using the heights, but it really bothered me why other transporters won’t do so. That’s why I brought that up but—

「Normally, people won’t do it because it’s dangerous. Humans can’t fly.」

Marion said astonished.

「Eh, but, aren’t you《Imperial『Courier』》?　 Don’t you have skills that quite literally allow you to fly?」

「Indeed. I do have the skill for gliding through the air. But I don’t casually move through the roofs. It’s not like my technique with moving through the air is that great. And most importantly,——Falling from the great height has consequences.」

「Consequences…?　Even if you fall from a high place in this city, it would be from ten meters at most. It would hurt if you land badly, but is it that much of a problem?」

Air battles of dragon knights or other combat-oriented jobs happen at a height of several hundred meters or even more.

Heights in the city don’t look that scary to me.

I spoke with those thoughts, but Marion smiled sweetly and put her hand on my shoulder.

「Listen well, Axel-san. Even with a high-tier transportation job, falling from a height will cause a serious injury… A few times I saw you falling in front of the store and then going on your own business as if nothing happened, but it’s in fact very strange.」

「Aah, Master is used to falling, he is also good at taking a proper posture, so a scratch is the worst that can happen if he falls.」

Just as Berzelia says, I’m used to falling due to my experience from the days as a dragon knight.

So even if I break my posture in the air I rarely fall to the ground headfirst.

Through as experiments have shown, even if I land headfirst it will only hurt a bit.

「I see. Yeah, it’s great that my body is sturdy. As it seems the transportation bag is also resistant to impact, so contents end up essentially unharmed.」

「Somehow, even forgetting about your transportation job, you have a physique unfitting for a beginner, no, for a human… 」

After giving me a look filled with bewilderment, Marion slowly exhaled like she was trying to refocus. And—

「Putting that aside for now, what is important at the moment is that you graduate from beginner. ——Congratulations, Axel-san.」

She gives me applause.

「…!!」

And Kohaku who was at the office desk, without saying a word also started energetically clapping, congratulating me.

「Well, you graduated from a beginner in no time, Master! Even though you became Carrier not so long ago, amazing!」

「I don’t think it changes the fact that I’m a rookie that just got a new job.」

Besides, I have heard the word graduation not so long ago, so I get the feeling that I’m graduating quite a lot lately, but anyway—

「Though it gives a nice feeling of progressing towards becoming a full-fledged Carrier.」

Though I’ve got a new job, I also got a new workplace and new comrades, which I really appreciate.

When I said that, Marion gave a delightfully complacent smile.

「Fufu, though I think that you are almost full-fledged already. Anyway, I think tomorrow, after you do some work, there are technicalities that I should tell you about. And today, I have prepared some graduation gifts, so after some light work, let’s go out to the city’s bars.」

「Yes, I contacted them so they would prepare a lot of dishes.」

「Oh, thank you, Marion, Kohaku-san!」

And with the addition of becoming a bit famous as『Flying Carrier』. It seems that I successfully graduated from being a beginner《Carrier》.
