“Then let’s go, Andou-san. Are you ready?”
“Yes, I am ready..”
Together with the supervisor, I finally set foot into the dungeon.
“The entrance to the dungeon is sealed by a heavy gate like this. By holding up the explorer card to this reader, you can open the door like this.”
The supervisor holds up his explorer card to the reader installed next to the large gate.
The door opened with a loud Vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Then the door opened, revealing a dark, dank cave behind it.
“Well, let’s go. Prepare your weapon.”
“yes”
I readied the sword that was lent for practice and followed the lead supervisor.
“The dungeon is very rough and damp like this. Always be careful not to fall.”
“yes”
While the supervisor walks, he adds various explanations about the dungeon.
Of course, it’s all information I know, but in order to pass the practical training, I nod with a serious expression.
“The dungeon has a hierarchical structure, and the lower you go, the stronger the monsters that appear. In this first floor, the monsters that appear are mainly goblins and slimes, and they are so weak that even a child can defeat them alone. But don’t let your guard down. They can be troublesome when attacking in groups, and sometimes they are equipped with weapons called Nature Weapons.”
“I understand, I’ll be careful.”
In order to appeal to my seriousness, I nodded with a solemn face.
As I was walking through the dungeon with Supervisor Shibarak, a presence approached from the front.
Did you say 100 meters in distance?
This feeling is probably goblin.
“Coming! There is one goblin in front!! Be careful!! No weapons equipped!!”
After about 10 meters away, the supervisor noticed the goblin’s presence.
Report according to the manual and call attention to me.
I held my sword towards the goblin.
“Now, Ando-san! This will be your first battle. Show me your strength! In case of an emergency, I’ll come to your rescue immediately.”
The supervisor steps back and urges me to defeat the goblins.
I step forward and face the goblins.
“Gugege…”
The goblin slowly approaches while raising its cry.
Fighting monsters for the first time in a while.
This nostalgic feeling…
I was reminded of my fighting spirit that I had set aside during my peaceful six months in Japan.
“W-what is this aura…!? Is a powerful monster approaching from somewhere…?”
Oops.
Dangerous, dangerous.
I unintentionally released my mana slightly, excited to see nostalgic monsters.
Seeing the supervisor surprised, I hurriedly let my guard down and relaxed.
“Huh…? The feeling of intimidation disappeared…? What was that?”
While the supervisor tilted his head in confusion, I shot the goblin with fire magic, which is considered my skill externally.
“fireball”
A ball of flame flew at a high speed and caught the goblin’s face.
“Guge!?”
The goblin’s fragile head fell off and separated from its body.
The goblin died instantly.
“Oooooh!”
The supervisor applauded me for killing the goblin in an instant.
“Amazing! To kill it in an instant…! You’re the best trainee I’ve ever seen by far, you…!”
“Thank you”
“It’s your first time fighting, but you showed no hesitation. In most cases, no matter how strong your skills are, you’ll end up feeling intimidated seeing a monster for the first time…”
“Is that how it is?”
“Yes. Also, magic stones are the most important resource brought from the dungeon, and can be exchanged on the ground at high prices. There is also the exchange fee for magic stones that accounts for the main income of the explorer, so the magic stones are carefully stored and brought back.”
“understood”
I nod and head towards the goblin’s corpse.
The goblin’s corpse had already mostly disappeared, leaving behind a small purple pebble… a magic stone that was the core of the monster.
I pick it up and store the magic stone in the subspace like I did in Arcadia.
“W-what?”
Then, the supervisor who was watching it was stunned.
“Ah, Ando-san…? Where did the magic stones go…?”
“Ahh, fuck…”
I messed up.
