After defeating the demon king in another world and returning to Japan, a dungeon appeared on the ground. - Chapter 88

Chapter 88

“Alright then, the last one for today!! Let’s start the third skill exercise…!! Find a partner within 5 seconds!”

And just like that, the second training session time limit also went by.

In the end, I had finished the training session without using any skills or magic even once.

I just hope that I can actually do some proper training this time.

“Ando-kun!! How about partnering up with me!!”

As I was looking for a partner for the third time, I heard a confident voice from behind.

Turning around, I saw Uchida, the captain of the soccer team and extremely popular with the girls, standing there.

“Got it. Let’s pair up.”

Since the time limit was also pressing, and I didn’t have the luxury of being picky, so I decided to partner with Uchida.

“It’s an honor to train with a mid-level explorer like you, Ando-kun!! Looking forward to it!!”

Uchida flashed a dazzling smile as he extended his hand to me.

With a scream of “kyaaa,” the nearby girls let out excited shrieks.

“Th-the pleasure’s mine…”

Somewhat overwhelmed by the situation, I shook Uchida’s hand in return.

“Alright then, let’s get started with our duel! How about we declare our skills to each other first? It’ll allow us to build strategy and make it more interesting that way!!”

“I don’t mind.”

“Great! I’ll go first and declare my skill then!!”

With that, Uchida confidently brushed his hair back and declared his skill.

“My skill is ‘Charm’! It’s a sinful ability that can captivate and mesmerize any person… no, any living creature!!”

He flashed a perfect, charming smile.

“Kyaaaa!!! Uchida-kuuun!!!”

The girls who were training nearby erupted into pink cheers at his smile.

Receiving their cheers, Uchida couldn’t seem any more pleased.

“Haha… Don’t you think it’s a skill that perfectly suits someone like me, Ando-kun?”

“Uh… sure.”

If I disagreed, I’d likely make enemies of all the girls around us, so I just nodded.

“Although, to be honest, even if I don’t have a skill like that—I’m naturally charming enough, right, my honeys?!”

“Kyaaaa!!! Uchida-kuuun!!!”

“…”

What kind of spectacle is this?

What am I even witnessing here?

“Ah, sorry, sorry. I got a little carried away. Alright, now it’s your turn to declare your skill, Ando-kun!!”

Ignoring my deadpan stare, Uchida turned to me, waiting for my skill declaration.

Just like I had shown Hirose and Uzaki earlier today, I declared my skill and demonstrated it in front of Uchida.

“Hou… A skill that controls fire… So that’s your power, Ando-kun!”

Uchida grinned wickedly.

“I was expecting more from a mid-level explorer… But, that won’t be enough to defeat me!! Fufu, I’ll just immediately capture you with my unbeatable skill!!”

He spread his arms wide as he made his bold declaration.

“Got it. Well, let’s just get this over with.”

I was getting tired of the whole situation, so I urged him to start.

“Fufu… Ok, Ok. Let’s begin, then.”

Uchida and I took some distance from each other and faced off.

“Look, it’s Uchida-kun! He’s going to fight Andou-kun!”

“Wow, that’s amazing!! I want to see this!!”

“Go, Uchida-kun!!”

As we prepared to start, a crowd of girls who had heard Uchida’s name began gathering around us.

This is so distracting…
